Chapter 361 Into the Hall (2/2)

It was a fact that truly shook everyone to the very core.

Ye Ge had not moved from the spot, a melancholic expression on his face as he gazed at Spirit Rune Hall.

Li Qingchan arrived beside him, glancing at him as she said, “You’d best not have any other thoughts. If she is truly angered, you will not be able to bear the consequences.”

Ye Ge chuckled and responded, “Can’t I try a little after meeting someone who could finally stir my heart?”

“Although Yaoyao and Zhou Yuan are quite close, I can tell that there are no romantic feelings between them… so I feel that I still might have a chance.”

Li Qingchan nonchalantly said, “As a woman, my intuition tells me that Yaoyao looks down on you.”

Ye Ge frowned a little. As someone who could become a Chosen of the Cangxuan Sect, he was undoubtedly extremely talented. Though he may appear relaxed and carefree, he was also an exceedingly prideful individual. Thus, Li Qingchan’s words were a little hard for him to accept.

“Don’t waste your effort… you should give up on such thoughts, or you may not even have the chance to become ordinary friends.”

There seemed to be a hidden meaning in her words, that were not only directed at Ye Ge but also peak master Bai Mei. He was the one who truly hoped that Yaoyao would stay in Spirit Rune Peak, but his actions this time were really quite inappropriate.

Given Yaoyao’s intelligence, it would not be hard for her to figure things out. When that happened, she may even cut all ties with Spirit Rune Peak out of anger, an act that would surely make peak master Bai Mei want to cry in regret at his antics.

After speaking, Li Qingchan turned around and left.

Ye Ge hesitated for a moment as he watched her leave, and could ultimately only let out a sigh.

From the cold indifference Yaoyao displayed towards him, it seemed that she was indeed not the least bit interested in him.

The crowd of disciples in front of Spirit Rune Hall gradually dispersed. One could easily imagine the commotion that would follow after they brought news of what happened today back to their respective peaks.

Gu Hongyi stretched lazily, revealing her enchanting curves. Her satisfied eyes narrowed slightly as she grinned at Su Wan and said, “What do you think senior sister Su Wan?”

At the sight of her pleased appearance, Su Wan retorted in a slightly annoyed manner, “What are you so happy about, you’re not even related to him.”

She then began to closely examine Gu Hongyi as she mischievously said, “Although you’re quite a beauty yourself, I’m afraid that you won’t be able to tug at his heart strings with Zhou Xiaoyao around.”

Gu Hongyi blushed furiously. She glared at Su Wan and said with embarrassment, “What nonsense are you spouting, Zhou Yuan and I are only friends.”

“Is that so?” Su Wan was clearly unconvinced.

Gu Hongyi gritted her teeth, ignoring the former as she turned around and began leaving Spirit Rune Peak.

“Heh heh, is the little lass embarrassed?” Su Wan was grinning from ear to ear as she led the group of girls to catch up, their giggling drawing the attention of quite a few disciples.

At another corner of the place, Lu Xuanyin’s stared at Spirit Rune Hall with a stormy face.

“This Zhou Xiaoyao is quite terrifying.” Xu Yan sighed, his eyes filled with wariness and fear.

He turned his head to look at Lu Xuanyin as he smiled and said, “However, you need not worry. We may not have any way to deal with her, but our target is Zhou Yuan after all… he isn’t that difficult to deal with.”

“However, from the Genesis Rune mastery he has displayed, we should probably increase his threat level. I’ll make a few more preparations when we return to ensure that junior sister Xuanyin will have the chance to properly expel all of your resentment during the purple sash selection.”

“His spectacular performance today wil only result in numerous disciples having higher expectations of him. In fact, some may even entertain the notion of him being qualified to vie for the championship position. Since that is so, we will eliminate him at the start, making it such that he will be unable to even rank amongst the top ten. I believe this will make him quite frustrated, right?”

“Hehe, I do want to find out whether Zhou Yuan’s head is harder, or my Sword Cometh Peak’s sword is sharper.”

Lu Xuanyin nodded, a little joy and anticipation in her eyes. She had indeed somewhat underestimated Zhou Yuan, but the ones who would be dealing with him this time were the most elite gold sash disciples of Sword Cometh Peak.

Lu Xuanyin breathed in deeply, casting one final icy glance at Spirit Rune Hall, before turning to leave.

She did not believe that Zhou Yuan would be able to turn the tables in the face of such a line-up!
