Chapter 829 Flexible (2/2)

“Although the newcomer ceremony is tomorrow, the other three pavilions have already secretly made contact with these thirty or so individuals in an attempt to recruit them. We likewise tried to do the same in the past few days you were not around, but we did not achieve much results. Most of them become rather hesitant upon hearing about our Wind Pavilion.”

Yi Qiushui somewhat angrily said, “It’s because of those rumors the Fire Pavilion has been spreading!”

Some anger was also visible on Ye Bingling’s face. She was evidently quite disgusted by such tactics.

Zhou Yuan’s expression remained composed as he pondered for a while. He said, “No need to be too anxious. As individuals who managed to achieve such heights despite not belonging to any factions, they should be quite prudent. They will not carelessly make any decisions until the very last moment.

“Everything will be decided at the newcomers ceremony tomorrow.”

Yi Qiushui nodded. Soon after, she smiled bitterly and said, “But, but even if we wait till tomorrow, our Wind Pavilion is still far less attractive than the Fire Pavilion.”

When the four pavilions revealed themselves tomorrow, the newcomers would naturally realize that the Fire Pavilion was indeed the strongest of the four pavilions and had the best conditions.

Ye Bingling’s face also dimmed somewhat.

“That may not be so.” Zhou Yuan smiled mysteriously.

Yi Qiushui was still somewhat anxious as she worriedly said, “Zhou Yuan, if you think the Mother Wind Rune will be enough to fight against the Fire Pavilion, I’ll have to inform you that you’re wrong. The Mother Wind Rune can only be sold in the Wind Pavilion, while the Mark Capturing Rune is highly sought after even in the other three pavilions!

“Our Wind Pavilion will only suffer if you use the Mother Wind Rune to compete with them!”

Zhou Yuan smiled and nodded. “The Mother Wind Rune alone is indeed insufficient.”

“Then…” Li Qiushui and Ye Bingling raised their brows. Since he knew the Mother Wind Rune was not enough, why was Zhou Yuan still being so insistent?

However, from his mysterious and confident expression, the two young ladies knew that he certainly had some kind of trump card. As such, their brows furrowed as they pressed him, “What other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Tell us!”

Zhou Yuan could only awkwardly laugh in response, not bothering to hide his preparations any further. It would all be revealed the next day, anyways. If he did not put them at ease, they would likely be unable to sleep that night.

Hence, he retrieved three jade pieces and offered them to the two young ladies.

“What are these?” The girls received the jade pieces in confusion.

“Mother Wind Rune? Doesn’t appear to be…”

Zhou Yuan softly chuckled. “These are the Mother Fire Rune, the Mother Forest Rune and the Mother Mountain Rune.”

They froze, holding the jade pieces in their hands, then jerked their heads upwards and stared at Zhou Yuan in disbelief.

They already understood everything from the names.

“These, these...have the same effect as the Mother Wind Rune?” Yi Qiushui’s voice faintly trembled.

“Exactly the same.” Zhou Yuan grinned as he nodded.

Yi Qiushui and Ye Bingling were silent for a moment. In the next instant, killing intent suddenly blossomed in their eyes as they each threw a punch at Zhou Yuan’s face.

Zhou Yuan bafflingly took their punches as a stupefied expression appeared on his face. He did not understand why they reacted in such a manner after revealing such amazing treasure. Weren’t they supposed to jump into his arms in joy?

“Bastard, you dare to hide such a thing. How dare you make us worry so long for nothing!” Ye Bingling gnashed her teeth.

“Humph, do you feel very happy watching us stress like scattering ants?” The usually gentle-mannered Yi Qiushui also glared at him.

The corners of Zhou Yuan’s lips twitched. Were all women so terrifying?

This was completely unreasonable!

He needed to teach them a lesson! They completely did not respect him as the pavilion master!

Zhou Yuan glared at the two girls.

Ye Bingling said, “Looks like we should let him handle the newcomer ceremony tomorrow alone.”

Yi Qiushui added, “He can also handle all the affairs of the Wind Pavilion by himself in the future.”

Zhou Yuan let out an awkward cough. He lowered his gaze as he gently said, “Sorry, I shouldn’t have hidden this from you two.”

Forget it, men should be flexible. There was no need for him to kick up a fuss.
