You’re not worthy!
Chapter 174 (2) - You’re not worthy!
Strange, extremely strange! It has been rumoured that Zhou Ming possesses the Cold Pine Essence that Revered Snow wanted!? It wouldn’t be unusual for the elder to look at him with anger, but to even smile at him, what is there to smile about? Why?!
Due to the main topic of the discussion, Rain Palace’s Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were unfriendly towards Ning Fan. As for people like Yun Kuang, he already had a bone to pick with Ning Fan.
Everyone’s image of Revered Snow was that of an ice-cold person. If he knew that Ning Fan possessed the Cold Pine Essence, it would’ve been normal for him to rob it in anger, so there was no reason for him to smile at Ning Fan at all…
Could it be that Revered Snow’s personality had a complete a 180°? That should be impossible.
Or… Is there a hidden agenda behind the elder’s smile1? The smile shouldn’t be directed to Ning Fan but for the Cold Pine Essence instead since it arrive right at his lap. Yes, that much is possible…
This was the thought process of Yun Kuang.
After hypothetically guessing that the elder did not hold any good intentions toward Ning Fan, he fully unleashed all his hostility towards the latter. The hostility was much intense than when he was jealous of Suqiu at the border!
Ning Fan was not concerned with how others looked at him, even Yun Kuang was automatically ignored by him. Only the smile of Revered Snow was something he couldn't fathom, whether it be with good intentions or malice…
After his spirit sense scanned through the contents within the jade slip, the discussion that had gone on for several days immediately replayed within his mind.
“Ohh… So this is what happened…” Ning Fan said to himself.
No wonder those Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of the Rain Palace were unfriendly towards him and for Yun Kuang to be much more hostile than before. All of it stemmed from the title of ‘Seventh Commander’.
The Seventh Commander, Xun Ri, died in battle to the demon tide… The authority he possessed suddenly became ownerless so the Rain Palace wanted to have Yun Kuang take over Xun Ri’s authority. But the King of Jin was not willing to have Jin’s power fall into the hands of the Rain Palace. Therefore, he tried so hard to look for a foreign cultivator to replace Xun Ri…
Rain Palace’s command over the cultivators of Jin was temporary. But if Yun Kuang becomes the Seventh Commander, it’ll mean that the Rain Palace Division’s authority will be much deeply rooted in Great Jin.
This is the politics between the Rain Palace and Jin, and I have been dragged into it…
For Yun Kuang, his beloved Suqiu was snatched away by Ning Fan and Great Jin’s Seventh Commander title that he longed for was also similarly snatched away by the same person. This hostility would be hard to erase.
“You're not fit to be the Seventh Commander! This Yun is clearly much more suitable!”
Yun Kuang’s cold statement disrupted Ning Fan’s thought process and his gaze became serious.
This Yun Kuang is too cocky. If one would be tolerant of people like this, they would become much more unbearable. Ning Fan wasn’t interested in the position of the Seventh Commander, but he couldn't tolerate against Yun Kuang anymore. His Dao was the Dao of unyielding, to exercise forbearance for a few times was more than enough.
“Whether this Zhou is worthy of this position is for the King to decide and the appointment of the Rain Palace. It's not something you, Yun Kuang, can decide!”
“Hmph! If you dare to receive one sword strike from me, no matter if its a failure or a success, this Yun will recognize you as the Seventh Commander! But… Do you dare?!”
Yun Kuang coldly laughed and shook his sleeve as a jet black thin sword appeared in his hand.
The hidden sword was a weapon meant for assassination and possessed a strange divine attribute. Unlike the typical flying sword, only going straight back and forth.
It was said that a single sword strike of the ‘Night Sword’ Yun Kuang was enough to make the average Mid Nascent Soul Realm cultivator to not take it to head on, fearing that they might fall into his trap.
Do you dare?!
Do you dare?!!
