Chapter 828 Fang Ao (1/2)
“You’re just a deputy pavilion master, are you qualified to speak here?”
When Zhou Yuan’s cold voice echoed in the hall, a cold light emerged in Fang Ao’s sinister eyes. Fang Ao curled his lips, revealing his white teeth. “What arrogance. Do you not know how much weight the pavilion master of the Wind Pavilion has?”
“Chen Beifeng wouldn’t even be ranked in the top five of the Fire Pavilion. Do you think you’re very powerful just because you have defeated him?
“If you don’t know how much weight you have, I can help you know!”
Boom!
When Fang Ao’s voice faded, a violent gush of Genesis Qi suddenly erupted from his body, shrouding the entire area.
“If a deputy pavilion master of the Fire Pavilion is so rude and disrespectful, I don’t mind teaching him on behalf of pavilion master Lu!” Zhou Yuan’s eyes were icy cold. Like before, he didn’t move an inch, but mighty golden Genesis Qi pulsed around his body, quaking the void.
Fang Ao’s eyes flashed with anger.
However, just as he was about to strike back in rage, Lu Xiao’s indifferent voice rang out, “Fang Ao, don’t be rude.”
Hearing Lu Xiao’s voice, Fang Ao gradually calmed down his strong and mighty Genesis Qi. He glowered at Zhou Yuan for a good while before sitting back down with a cold smile. But his expression was still full of provocation.
Lu Xiao turned to Zhou Yuan and explained, “Fang Ao has a fiery temper, so I hope pavilion master Zhou Yuan won’t take it to heart.”
Hearing his calm and indifferent tone, Zhou Yuan coldly snorted. The two were just trying to frighten him by playing good cop and bad cop. They only wanted to give the newly appointed leader of the Wind Pavilion some intimidation. If it was someone normal who encountered them, their ploy would have succeeded.
Zhou Yuan also withdrew his Genesis Qi and calmly responded, “He’s just a deputy pavilion master. I won’t lower myself to his level.”
Fang Ao’s eyelids twitched, a glint of malice in his eyes.
Zhou Yuan paid no attention to him and said, “I have made it very clear, the four pavilions should each have 25% of the newcomers. This is the rule. You have already gone against the rules in the past, but I don’t intend to pursue it any further. If you continue to do so, however, I have no choice but to report this matter to Lady Chi Jing.”
With his hands cupped around his tea, Lu Xiao chuckled, “Fine, it seems pavilion master Zhou Yuan has the heart to revitalise the Wind Pavilion. I admire that, so let’s follow the rules.
“Each of the four pavilions has a share of 25% of the newcomers.”
Zhou Yuan nodded. “Thank you for understanding, pavilion master Lu.”
Lu Xiao smiled “It’s a trivial matter, but about what I had talked to you before…are you going to think about it again? My offer will be higher this time.”
The matter of purchasing the refinement method of the Mother Wind Rune?
Zhou Yuan shook his head, his expression unchanged.
The Mother Wind Rune was priceless to the Wind Pavilion, and Lu Xiao should be very clear about this. After all, the Fire Pavilion had risen by selling Mark Capturing Runes. But Lu Xiao wanted the Mother Wind Rune because he was worried that the Wind Pavilion would also have the opportunity to rise.
Seeing Zhou Yuan decline the offer again, Lu Xiao took a deep look at Zhou Yuan and said indifferently, “Pavilion master Zhou Yuan, the newcomer share is not actually the most important thing. Sometimes, even with the share, it’s difficult to attract good seedlings.”
There was a hint of threat and warning in his tone of voice.
Zhou Yuan smiled. “Pavilion master Lu doesn’t need to worry about this.”
“It seems that pavilion master Zhou Yuan is already mentally prepared, so I will wait and see.”
There wasn’t a ripple of emotion on Zhou Yuan’s face. He no longer responded since he had achieved his purpose of going to the pavilion master conference.
After negotiating the share, Lu Xiao discussed other things, but Zhou Yuan wasn’t interested, and he remained silent during the whole process.
The meeting lasted half an hour before it ended.
Zhou Yuan was the first to get up. He gave a cupped fist salute to Lu Xiao, Han Yuan and Mu Liu and left with his people.
Mu Liu also got up and left with a smiling expression.
Following their departure, in the hall, the smile on Lu Xiao’s face faded instantly.
Bang!
Fang Ao’s face was dark. He slammed a fist at the iron table and even dented the iron table.
“He’s just the pavilion master of the Wind Pavilion. If we were outside, I would have taken his head off already!” Fang Ao’s eyes were full of malice.
