Chapter 248 Conflic (1/2)

On the mountain path.
Zhou Yuan frowned as he looked towards his front where Lu Feng stood with a hand behind his back, eyes suffused with iciness as he stared at the former.
Although there was not much apparent disdain in Lu Feng’s eyes, Zhou Yuan could feel an arrogance that transcended everyone else, the way he looked at others always containing contempt.
A gaze like this was even more detestable than disdain that one showed on the face, because it meant that no matter what you did, he would always feel that he is better than you.
Therefore, Zhou Yuan slowly said, “First things first, you and I have never even talked before this. As for trampling over you, I have zero interest…”
“Because I don’t feel that there’s anything great about it.”
“I’m not the type to stir up trouble, so I hope that trouble does not come knocking at my door either. But if some opinionated fellow voluntarily sticks his head out, I wouldn’t mind stepping on his head for a bit.”
“So can you step aside and let me pass?”
A faint, sharp light was present in his eyes as he stared at Lu Feng.
Lu Fung was stunned, seemingly unable to comprehend that Zhou Yuan would not only show no fear, but instead so directly come at him with such sharp, stinging words.
“Ah…”
A dark look rose within Lu Feng’s already cold eyes. He stared at Zhou Yuan and pondered for a brief moment, before asking, “... what exactly is it that makes you think you can speak in such a manner to me?”
“Is it because you won an inner mountain disciple in a Genesis technique match?”
Lu Feng slowly walked forward, standing right in front of Zhou Yuan, the two now mere feet apart. Zhou Yuan’s youthful, impassive face was reflected in the Lu Feng’s cold eyes as he softly said, “Zhou Yuan, you may have been able to ride roughshod over everyone in the tiny continent you came from, fully enjoying the status of a genius, but you need to recognize exactly where you are now…”
“This is the Shengzhou Continent, the Cangxuan Sect…”
“The one who stands before you comes from the Shengzhou Lu clan. My clan is of noble lineage in the Shengzhou Continent… a level that you probably do not even know of.”
“I have a senior that is an elder in the Sword Cometh Peak, and an elder sister in my clan is the personal disciple of the Sword Cometh Peak master…”
Lu Feng stared at Zhou Yuan in interest. Every word that was spat from his mouth seemed to bring with it an indescribable pressure. He obviously wanted to show that his background and relations from far from anything a no good Zhou Yuan could compare to.
If it was any other ordinary disciple, hearing Lu Feng’s words would likely give rise to fear in his heart.
Unfortunately, Zhou Yuan’s eyes remained calm from start to end, not even the slightest ripple to be seen.
Seeing no response of any sort from Zhou Yuan, Lu Feng seemed to believe that the former was stunned and awed. An almost undetectable curve slowly lifted from the corners of his lips as he reached out a hand to gently pat Zhou Yuan’s face.
“So can I ask you to keep your distance from Hongyi?”
When it was mere inches from Zhou Yuan’s face, Lu Feng’s hand was grabbed by Zhou Yuan’s.
Zhou Yuan’s stared at Lu Feng, frowning as he said, “I originally believed that you should at least have some ability as the person recognized as number one in the outer mountains. I never expected that you would be so pathetic…”
“What did you say?” Lu Feng’s eyes darkened.
As Zhou Yuan grabbed the former’s hand, he shook his head and said, “If you had talked about your own capabilities, I would have at least given a little recognition. But you ended up parading all of so-called background and relations. So what if your clan is powerful? Can it control the Cangxuan Sect?”
“If it could, why would you need to say so much nonsense. You could have just kick me out long ago.”
“That’s why, your so-called background has no effect on me.”
Disdain slowly rose from the corners of Zhou Yuan’s mouth as he gazed at the cold expression on Lu Feng’s face and said, “Lu Feng, Gu Hongyi is only practicing the Ethereal Form technique with me. If you can change her mind about it, feel free to go find her.”
“As for me, since I’ve accepted her tuition fees, I will definitely teach her if she comes.”
“With regards to what you think, I don’t have the tiniest bit of interest.”
“If you really intend to do something, go ahead and take action. There’s no need for you to put on an act and come warn me time and time again. As for your so-called background, if you are really able to beg for their help, feel free to…”
