Chapter 754 Zhao Yue (1/2)

Not long after Zhou Yuan returned to the tent, someone lifted the curtain and came in.

Zhou Yuan looked up and was stunned for a moment. The person who had come in was a woman. Her face was beautiful but aloof, and her long shapely brows were like knives, emitting a chilling and fierce intent.

She was dressed in combat gear that highlighted her perfect body and long legs.

Zhou Yuan had seen this cold and beautiful woman before. Her name was Zhao Yue, and she was Yi Qiushui’s personal bodyguard and someone whom Yi Qiushui trusted a lot.

But at this moment, Yi Qiushui’s personal bodyguard revealed a look of contempt upon seeing Zhou Yuan. Before waiting for Zhou Yuan to speak, she tossed him a spatial bag and uttered coldly, “The essences of ancient wood you need are all inside.”

Zhou Yuan took the spatial bag and, without paying attention to her expression, immediately checked the bag. Only when he found that the number of ancient wood essences matched his request did he give a slight smile.

“Please thank Miss Yi for me,” Zhou Yuan said sincerely.

No matter what Yi Qiushui thought of him, she had still given him the ancient wood essence at a time like this. Zhou Yuan was very grateful; this was not a small favour.

“No need. If you really want to thank her, leave when we reach Xuanzhou City.”

“Is this what Miss Yi wants?”

“Does it matter?” Yi Qiushui replied in a cold voice.

Zhou Yuan smiled faintly and didn’t try to argue with her. After all, he was just a liar in everyone else’s eyes. More importantly, he also couldn’t prove anything.

“I don’t like to owe people. If I feel that I have repaid my debt, I will naturally take the initiative to leave,” Zhou Yuan said calmly.

Zhao Yue coldly snorted. She spoke with a tone of threat in her voice: “I hope you don’t step out of line. If you push too far, as someone from another heaven, it would be difficult for you to continue to walk in Xiaoxuan Province.”

Zhao Yue and Yi Qiushui were very close, and their relations.h.i.+p wasn’t as simple as master and servant. This was the reason why she was furious that Zhou Yuan had used such an almost deceptive way to ask for the ancient wood essence.

Her thoughts were similar to most people. Could Zhou Yuan, someone from another heaven, be more outstanding than a similar-age pride of Hunyuan Heaven?

The answer was simply impossible.

This was similar to how the people of Cangxuan Heaven’s Shengzhou Continent would never admit that the prides of other continents were better than them.

However, in the face of Zhao Yue’s words, Zhou Yuan didn’t respond. He instead closed his eyes as though telling her to leave.

This made Zhao Yue feel even more annoyed with Zhou Yuan. She felt that he was outrageously bold to deceive the Yi family.

She snorted coldly, then flicked her sleeve and turned away.

After she left, Zhou Yuan opened his eyes again, revealing a look of helplessness. After what happened today, he was afraid that n.o.body in the camp would welcome him anymore.

In fact, in addition to the essence of ancient wood, Zhou Yuan also needed a lot of other things, including Divine Dwelling medicines and some important materials for the second stage evolution of the Ancestral Dragon Scripture. But if he were to ask Yi Qiushui for these materials, no matter how good her temper was, she would most likely throw him out of the camp.

Zhou Yuan shook his head. Never mind. Since he wasn’t familiar with these people, then perhaps he would find a chance to leave once he arrived in Xuanzhou City.

But the most important thing right now was to completely solve the problem of his injury.

Perhaps others might feel that what Yi Qiushui did wasn’t worth it, but Zhou Yuan felt he was worth that much, because he didn’t lie. As long as he regained his strength, he had the confidence that he could escort Yi Qiushui to Xuanzhou City.
