Chapter 780 Rejection (1/2)

It was utterly quiet in the front courtyard.

The look of joy on Yi Qiushui’s beautiful face had frozen. She couldn’t help clenching her fists, and she evidently didn’t expect Gu Xi to put forward such a condition.

A deep anger rose up inside her as she said, “Gu Xi, isn’t this condition a little too much?”

“Youngsters should pay a price for something they have done wrong. Otherwise, they won’t remember. This is for his own good.” Gu Xi smiled.

In his opinion, this condition wasn’t too much. Although Zhou Yuan was talented, he had no background, and if he were to become the hall master’s registered disciple, he could be said to have reached the sky in a single bound.

So what if he had to pay two high-grade Heaven-tier Genesis techniques?

If Zhou Yuan was wise, he should know what choice was best for him.

Looking at Zhou Yuan’s expressionless face, he asked, “What are you thinking?”

Zhou Yuan replied indifferently, “Apologise? I don’t think I need to do that. So all the people who have defeated the disciples of your Heavenly Spirit Sect need to apologise to you all?”

“It is a beautiful thing when lions and tigers fight against each other, but if a mouse wants to brush a tiger’s whiskers, isn’t that just asking for humiliation?” Gu Xi said nonchalantly.

Zhou Yuan smiled, slowly sat down to the side and said, “Forget it, I am unworthy of a.s.sociating with your sect.”

Gu Xi’s face darkened, and he slammed the cup down on the table. “You reject the good intention of my Heavenly Spirit Sect? It’s good for young people to be proud, but don’t be too arrogant.”

This time, however, Zhou Yuan was too lazy to even care.

Seeing this, Gu Xi stood up from his seat and coldly snorted, “You don’t know what’s good for you. There will be a time when you will cry.”

He then shot a glare at Yi Qiushui and spoke in a strange tone of voice, “I heard you wanted to recommend this person. Haha, my Heavenly Spirit Sect will not agree to this matter.”

With a wave of his robe, he stormed away.

Following Gu Xi’s departure, the atmosphere in the courtyard turned somewhat gloomy. Yi Qiushui’s beautiful face flushed with anger as she slammed the table. “He went too far!”

She was kind enough to invite Gu Xi, but she didn’t expect that he wouldn’t give face to the Yi clan.

“Qiushui, I understand your kind intention, but I don’t want to trouble you.”

Zhou Yuan naturally wouldn’t refuse to reconcile his relations.h.i.+p with the Heavenly Spirit Sect, but if their att.i.tude was like that, forget it.

Yi Qiushui gritted her teeth, saying, “It’s because of my Yi clan’s affairs that you have become enemies with the Heavenly Spirit Sect. How can I not do anything?

“If they are upset about it, they should come to find my Yi clan. They just want to take their anger out on you, seeing that you have no background.”

She took a deep breath. “But you don’t have to worry. In another two days, the teleportation array in Xuanzhou City will be able to locate the Tianyuan Utopia. At that time I will report everything that has happened and find an opportunity to recommend you to Lady Chi Jing. If she thinks highly of you, the Heavenly Spirit Sect won’t dare to do anything to you.”

“Lady Chi Jing has such good vision. The number of heaven prides she has seen over the years is as many as the willow trees by a river. It won’t be easy for her to think highly of someone,” Yi Qianji, who was on the other side, said with a worried frown.

“Also I’m worried that the Heavenly Spirit Sect will get in the way.”

“Lady Chi Jing might not want to create an unpleasant relations.h.i.+p with the Heavenly Spirit Sect just because of a Divine Dwelling expert. Although their relations.h.i.+p wasn’t pleasant at the start, now that they have reached the status they have now, they will somehow come to a compromise.”

Yi Qiushui’s brows were tightly scrunched together.

Zhou Yuan’s eyes flashed. He coughed softly and said, “I think I’ll get on well with Lady Chi Jing. It’s worth a try.”

Yi Qiushui and Yi Qianji were both taken aback by his words. He stared at Zhou Yuan and felt that Zhou Yuan really had thick skin.

What ident.i.ty and status does Lady Chi Jing have? She is one of the Tianyuan Region’s leaders. Even in the entire Hunyuan Heaven, she is still a top existence. She wouldn’t even pay attention to Heavenly Sun stage experts like us, so why would you, who is at the Divine Dwelling stage, have such confidence?

Even if your talent is pretty good and you have defeated Mo Yuan, how many super heaven prides has Lady Chi Jing seen over the years? Why would she get along with you?

Yi Qiushui helplessly smiled and didn’t know what else to say.
