"Of course it was true!" Su Mo said with a smile.
Having received Su Mo's confirmation, Elder Yu drew a deep breath. Then he bowed deeply to Su Mo and said, "Thank you for this gift, young friend. This Artifact Refining skill is exceedingly precious to this old man. Should you ever need anything in the future, just give the word!"
"Senior, there is no need to be so polite!" Su Mo hurriedly helped Elder Yu up.
Afterward, Elder Yu exchanged a few more pleasantries with Su Mo before impatiently leaving the hall, intending to properly study the Artifact Refining skill Su Mo had given him.
Watching Elder Yu's departing figure, Su Mo fell into thought. He had a favorable impression of the man. If he left someday, he could bring him along if the opportunity arose.
This man's character and attainments in artifact refining were far superior to Liang Tong's. Bringing him into the Azure Vault Sect would be a good thing.
"Hehe! Su Mo, it seems the Artifact Refining skill you gave Elder Yu was no ordinary thing! You truly keep your word—this was indeed a generous reward!" City Lord Bai said with a smile. When he spoke the words "generous reward," he deliberately stressed them slightly.
He was reminding Su Mo, because Su Mo had previously said he would give him a generous reward as well.
After all, Elder Yu was a member of the City Lord's Mansion. Since Elder Yu had helped Su Mo, he too deserved some credit.
"Elder Yu helped me greatly. A generous reward was only proper!" Su Mo said with a nod. Naturally, he had heard the hidden meaning in City Lord Bai's words, but he pretended not to.
This man was rather hypocritical and was likely a crafty sort as well.
