Chapter 812 Crossing Swords with Lu Xiao (1/2)

Having heard what Zhou Yuan said, even someone with a personality like Lu Xiao’s would be stunned for a moment. It was only after a good while that Lu Xiao shook his head and smiled. “It seems that deputy pavilion master Zhou Yuan is very ambitious and even looks down on the Fire Pavilion’s position of pavilion master.”

He obviously didn’t really take Zhou Yuan’s answer seriously, but thought he used it as an excuse to refuse.

After all, although Zhou Yuan had created the Mother Wind Rune, which could indeed prove his great mastery in Genesis Runes, it was still ridiculous if he thinks he was qualified to compete for the Chief pavilion master position because of that.

Zhou Yuan didn’t explain too much.

“Deputy pavilion master Zhou Yuan really doesn’t want to think about the Fire Pavilion’s offer?”

Lu Xiao smiled as though he was joking. “Even if you don’t give face to the Fire Pavilion, you should at least give some face to me?”

Zhou Yuan’s expression remained unchanged, but he felt a little annoyed inwardly. Lu Xiao seemed gentle, but his tone was prideful and condescending. Perhaps he had the right to be arrogant with his ability, but if he wanted Zhou Yuan to wors.h.i.+p him because of this, then Lu Xiao had been thinking too much.

“Pavilion master Lu Xiao doesn’t need to persuade me anymore. You should know that I was personally appointed by Lady Chi Jing to enter the Wind Pavilion as a deputy pavilion master. How could I join the Fire Pavilion?” Zhou Yuan calmly explained.

However, when Lu Xiao heard this, he asked indifferently, “So what? The current pavilion master of the Mountain Pavilion, Han Yuan, was once also a member of the Wind Pavilion and was thought highly of by Lady Chi Jing. But in the end he didn’t choose that tree. If he had stayed in the Wind Pavilion, it would have been difficult for him to achieve his current achievements.”

“This kind of ungrateful action isn’t worthy of mentioning,” Zhou Yuan remarked indifferently.

Lu Xiao let out a smile. “Deputy pavilion master Zhou Yuan, he was just adapting to the circ.u.mstances.”

Immediately his eyelids drooped, and his voice grew even more indifferent: “Sometimes, if you go down the wrong path, even if you are the most outstanding heaven pride, you will disappear into the crowd.”

Zhou Yuan, as though he didn’t hear Lu Xiao’s warning tone of voice, still shook his head calmly.

Upon Zhou Yuan’s repeated refusal, the smile on Lu Xiao’s face faded, and his eyes narrowed. “If deputy pavilion master Zhou Yuan isn’t interested in my previous proposals, there is one more. I am indeed very interested in the Mother Wind Rune that you created.

“How about this, I’ll give you 10,000 origin coins and you give me the method of refining the Mother Wind Runes.

“Of course, if you think you already have enough origin coins, I can even bring you a high-grade Genesis weapon.”

His purpose was now clearly revealed.

Zhou Yuan sighed, “Pavilion master Lu, I don’t think your calculations are right. From selling Mother Wind Runes, I can earn hundreds of origin coins everyday. As long as this continues, in one month’s time, I will have over ten thousand origin coins.”

As for high-grade Genesis weapons, although they were rare, he already had the Heavenly Yuan Brush, which would soon advance another level.

Therefore, Lu Xiao’s offered conditions seemed great but were in truth lacking sincerity.

“One can never finish earning origin coins. Having enough origin coins for one’s use is enough; it’s not good being too greedy,” Lu Xiao said indifferently.

Zhou Yuan shook his head. “Then it seems we don’t agree. Sorry, please leave.”

Lu Xiao fixed a cold stare at Zhou Yuan, but Zhou Yuan wasn’t afraid in the slightest. Zhou Yuan kept a calm and composed expression.

What a joke. Although Lu Xiao claimed to be the strongest person of the Divine Dwelling stage amongst the young generation of the Tianyuan Region, he was only ranked ninth on the Divine Dwelling List of Hunyuan Heaven. Zhou Yuan wasn’t even afraid of Wu Yao, who was ranked higher, so how could he be afraid of someone ranked ninth?

He might not be able to win against him now, but he would never be afraid.

The two stared at each other for a good while, and finally, Lu Xiao nodded expressionlessly. “It’s a pity we don’t agree, but I still hope you can rationally think it through.”

He stretched out his hand and patted Zhou Yuan on the shoulder.

“Young people shouldn’t be too impulsive. If you change your mind, you can always come to the Fire Pavilion to find me.”

When his voice faded, his figure rippled slightly and disappeared out of thin air.

Zhou Yuan stared at the place where Lu Xiao vanished, and his eyes flashed with surprise. Lu Xiao’s bodywork technique was quite mysterious. Since he was ranked ninth on the Divine Dwelling List, he indeed wasn’t someone easy to deal with.
