Chapter 753 Reques (2/2)

Zhou Yuan bitterly smiled when he heard this. That little bit of ancient wood essence would make no difference. He naturally knew that he sounded too arrogant, but at present he needed to restore his strength as soon as possible. He wasn’t familiar with this place, and the only person he could ask was Yi Qiushui.

Zhou Yuan drew a deep breath. He wasn’t going to give up like that. He tried his best to look sincerely at Yi Qiushui. “Miss Qiu, I know you may not believe me, but I am not deceiving you. If I don’t have the opportunity to do anything for you on the way to Xuanzhou City, I can stay until I do to repay you.”

“Haha, you just want to stay with Qiushui on purpose, am I right? Your tactic is pretty good.” A young woman smiled with disdain.

Mu Chao narrowed his eyes. “Qiushui, this person doesn’t have any good intentions. I think we should kick him out of the camp. If you’re too kind to do it, you can leave it to me.”

His voice faded as he lifted his palm.

Suddenly several figures appeared behind Zhou Yuan. All exuded powerful Genesis Qi.

They were at the strength of the initial Divine Dwelling stage.

Zhou Yuan frowned, and a chilling intent flashed through his eyes.

“Stop.”

However, just when they were about to act, Yi Qiushui suddenly stopped them. She turned to Mu Chao and said, “I don’t want to bother you, brother Mu.”

“I overstepped. I’m just worried you would be deceived.” Mu Chao elegantly shrugged his shoulders.

Yi Qiushui fixed a penetrating stare at Zhou Yuan, who neither retreated nor flinched back. He only looked at her earnestly.

The atmosphere was a little tense.

A worried frown crossed Yi Dong’er little face, and she couldn’t help but tug her sister’s sleeve.

Yi Qiushui finally retracted her gaze. After pondering a moment, she nodded. “Fine, I will meet your request.”

The surrounding men and women were all in shock.

Mu Chao couldn’t help but cry out, “Qiushui!”

Yi Qiushui did not speak again. She shook her head, showing that she had made up her mind.

When Mu Chao and the others saw this, they could only helplessly shake their heads. But the gazes they sent Zhou Yuan were obviously more dissatisfied and cold than previously. In their view, Zhou Yuan was someone who accidently saved Dong’er but kept making greedy demands.

Zhou Yuan also didn’t expect Yi Qiushui to agree, but from her eyes, he knew that she didn’t truly trust him.

Perhaps she only agreed because he had saved Dong’er.

“Thank you.”

Zhou Yuan didn’t say more. He nodded to Yi Qiushui before he turned around and left.

Yi Qiushui watched Zhou Yuan leave with a calm look on her beautiful face. She indeed didn’t have much confidence in Zhou Yuan; even she didn’t dare to say they could reach Xuanzhou City as long as they didn’t meet experts of the Heavenly Sun stage along the way.

Zhou Yuan should be similar in age to her, so on what basis could he make such a statement?

If Zhou Yuan was also from Hunyuan Heaven, Yi Qiushui would have speculated whether he was the pride of some other family. However, Zhou Yuan was from another heaven, which meant that it was not possible.

In her view, there was a huge gap in strength between the people of other heavens and those of Hunyuan Heaven.

Therefore...

Zhou Yuan’s words weren’t credible.

Yi Qiushui sighed inwardly. Never mind, I will just see it as repaying him for saving Dong’er. Once we get to Xuanzhou City, I will ask him to leave, and this debt will also be cleared.
