293 Pleasant Surprise (1/2)

”Zhou Donghuang, please do not be mistaken.”

Yu Yucheng smiled at him kindly and said, ”The Sky Sun fruit is yours, it's up to you whether you wish to sell or exchange it or not. Nobody can force you to do anything.

”I am here to find you to remind you about something.

”Just now, after you left, the fourteenth prince of the Qi Dynasty, Qi Rui, threatened you right in front of me... in his own words, he said that in the Hengliu galaxy, if a talent were to halt his growth halfway and no longer be able to progress, that man would be useless!”

As he spoke, the smile on Yu Yucheng's face disappeared completely, replaced by a serious expression as he continued, ”In the future, before you have enough power to protect yourself well, you should try not to leave the Lightning Sword Sect if you can avoid it.

”Even if you must leave, you must tell the Valley Head about it, and let him follow you out.”

Yu Yucheng added, ”Later, I will inform the Valley Head about this.”

Now, Zhou Donghuang was a precious treasure in the eyes of Yu Yucheng. Based on Zhou Donghuang's natural talent and ability, once he grew up and got even stronger, he would surely be a titan in the Hengliu galaxy. Furthermore, at his young age, he would be in no hurry to leave the Hengliu galaxy for greener pastures even after he reached the Divine Transformation stage.

In the Hengliu galaxy, those who were eager to leave the galaxy to head to other planets and galaxies with better training environments and resources were mostly older Divine Transformation adepts. They were all rushing to break through to the next stage because if they were too slow, that would mean the end of their lives.

”Based on the talent and ability that Zhou Donghuang has displayed to date, if he continues in this manner... even when he reaches the late Divine Transformation stage, his life will probably not even be at the halfway point yet. He will have no need to rush to leave the Hengliu galaxy, and at that point, he can surely lead our Lightning Sword Sect to greater heights. We can become superior to all the other sects of the Alliance, standing alongside the two Transcendental Forces of the galaxy!”

Yu Yucheng had high hopes for Zhou Donghuang.

In fact, the day after the Alliance Hunt had ended, the other sects of the Alliance had tried to poach Zhou Donghuang from the Lightning Sword Sect precisely because they recognized his potential and wanted him to become a part of their sects.

”Thank you for your reminder, Sect Leader.”

Although he was well aware that Yu Yucheng was taking such good care of him because of the extraordinary talent and skill that he had displayed, Zhou Donghuang still accepted his goodwill.

Next, Yu Yucheng and Zhou Donghuang returned to the Autumn Valley together.

As for Yu Yucheng, he looked for the Autumn Valley Head, He Jin.

Zhou Donghuang's safety, to a certain extent, concerned the future of the Lightning Sword Sect. There was a reason for him to be as careful and cautious as possible.

Yu Yucheng only left reassured after he had spoken to He Jin about the matter.

”That Elder Dong is probably still waiting for Zhou Donghuang's response.”

Yu Yucheng could easily guess the thoughts of the Guangling Academy elder, Dong Fangyou. He was definitely waiting to see if Zhou Donghuang would return and take him up on his offer. After all, he was certain that what the Guangling Academy had offered Zhou Donghuang was surely worth much more than whatever the Qi Dynasty could offer.

”Hmm?”

However, when Dong Fangyou saw Yu Yucheng return alone, he could not help but frown slightly.

Did the Qi Dynasty really offer something even better than what the Guangling Academy had offered Zhou Donghuang?

That was highly unlikely.

”Elder Dong.”

Yu Yucheng smiled awkwardly and said, ”The Sky Sun fruit, the Guangling Academy will not be able to get it... you can also go back. Of course, if Elder Dong wishes to stay a few days in our Lightning Sword Sect, you will be more than welcome here.”

”Did he give the Sky Sun fruit to the Qi Dynasty?” asked Dong Fangyou in a low tone.

”No.”

Yu Yucheng shook his head and answered, ”Before those from the Qi Dynasty could even offer anything, Zhou Donghuang had already flatly rejected them and left before they could say anything.”

Yu Yucheng's words shocked Dong Fangyou. ”That boy rejected them even before they could make an offer?”

At that point, he realized that he had misunderstood Zhou Donghuang. He had originally thought that Zhou Donghuang had wanted to compare the offer from both parties before making a decision, but now, it looked like Zhou Donghuang was really unwilling to give up the Sky Sun fruit in his hands.

”Indeed.” Yu Yucheng nodded.

”Haha... looks like our Guangling Academy still commands more respect than them, at least he waited to hear what I had to offer.”

After confirming with Yu Yucheng, Dong Fangyou laughed and said, ”Forget it, since that boy is so unwilling, then our Guangling Academy will not try to force it either.

”Farewell, Sect Leader Yu!”

After hearing that the Qi Dynasty did not even have the chance to make an offer for the Sky Sun fruit, Dong Fangyou seemed extremely happy. It was as if he was not at all disappointed that he had failed to obtain the Sky Sun fruit for the Guangling Academy.

In fact, as he left, he had a smile on his face.

”It has always been said that the Guangling Academy and the Qi Dynasty are like water and fire... today, that has indeed been proven to be the case.”

After sending Dong Fangyou out of the door, Yu Yucheng reflected to himself.

...

Qi Rui, the fourteenth prince of the Qi Dynasty, led the Qi Dynasty official, Chu Wei, as they left the Lightning Sword Sect. His expression was still stone cold as he said, ”Uncle Chu, I cannot take this lying down... I think, you must be feeling the same way?”

Hearing this, Chu Wei's hawk-like eyes also flashed murderously. ”That Zhou Donghuang is indeed behaving very rudely.”
