Chapter 362 Disadvantageous Praise (2/2)

Upon seeing Zhou Yuan look over, Xia Yu involuntarily took half a step back, but soon gritted her teeth to stop her retreating feet.

“Is there something I can help you with little senior sister Xia Yu?” Zhou Yuan gave a hollow laugh when he saw this. It seems that his actions back then had left quite a shadow in this little senior sister of his.

Xia Yu very cautiously approached and said in a low voice, “A junior sister from Cangxuan Peak called Gu Hongyi asked me to pass you a message. She said to be careful of Sword Cometh Peak in the purple sash selection.”

Zhou Yuan was taken aback, but soon began to frown. Sword Cometh Peak?

“Thank you little senior sister Xia Yu.” Zhou Yuan cupped his fists together and smiled.

Xia Yu shook her little head, her large eyes gazing at Zhou Yuan as she spoke again, “I’ve heard that you’ve become one of the popular contenders for champion in the purple sash selection.”

“And most of the ones who spread this come from Sword Cometh Peak, creating quite a reputation for you.”

Zhou Yuan was stunned. He and Sword Cometh Peak were not really on good terms, and he had even played a part in disrupting Kong Sheng’s plans. Why would they so kindly build his reputation? It was impossible.

As he gazed upon Xia Yu’s large and bright eyes, a certain notion suddenly struck him, and he calmly remarked, “What a brilliant plan.”

They were obviously intending to put him on a pedestal, making everyone feel that he had a chance at the championship. Afterwhich, they would send him crashing to the ground, making his fall hurt even more than it should.

The one who had thought of this was truly insidious.

Zhou Yuan cupped his hands towards Xia Yu again. The girl before him was clearly a smart one, and had seen through their intentions. Hence why she had come to warn him.

“Little junior sister Xia Yu, I’m really sorry about before.” The girl had held no grudge against him, and even came to inform him of this critical information. This act made Zhou Yuan feel quite apologetic for being so ruthless during the trial.

Xia Yu shook her head, casting one last glance at Zhou Yuan, before she turned her head in embarrassment and left.

Zhou Yuan frowned as he watched her leave. It seems that his spectacular performance had made some people raise his danger level, resulting in them coming up with such tactics to beat him into his place during the purple sash selection.

“Your luck with women is not bad…” While Zhou Yuan was lost in thought, a slightly teasing voice rang out behind him.

He turned his head, and saw Yaoyao leaning against a stone shelf, the corners of her lips slightly raised as she looked at him.

Under the stare of her clear eyes, Zhou Yuan let out a forced laugh and said, “Little senior sister Xia Yu is just a kind girl.”

Yaoyao lazily responded, “You’d better remember where we currently are. If you don’t want trouble, don’t have designs on the little flower on other’s peaks.”

Zhou Yuan’s gaze scanned the area. Sure enough, he discovered some hints of unfriendliness in the eyes of the Spirit Rune Peak disciples, as if unable to believe he actually dared to seduce their little senior sister.

The corners of Zhou Yuan’s lips could not help but twitch.

Yaoyao seemed to smile as she threw an old book to Zhou Yuan.

“You should fool around less. I picked this out for you. If you don’t want to end up being targeted during the purple sash selection, I advise you to learn it during these next few days.”

Zhou Yuan hastily caught the book, his eyes widening slightly as his gaze swept across it.

“Heavenly Lightning and Mystical Fire Boundary.”

Yaoyao nonchalantly explained, “This boundary should be your limit for now. Once you master it, it will become one of your trump cards.”

Zhou Yuan was elated, a smile revealing itself on his handsome face as he cornily said, “Big sis Yaoyao still treats me the best.”

“Heh…”

The corners of Yaoyao’s red lips slightly curved upwards, before turning around to leave with a swish of her black hair.

“You should save such words to trick other young ladies, they won’t have any effect on me…”
