Chapter 210 Third Class Disciple (2/2)
A bright moon hung high in the sky.
A giant boat smoothly shot past. Several figures were silently seated around a circular tablet near the front of the boat. They were Zhou Yuan, Yaoyao, Luluo, Zuoqiu Qingyu, and even Zhen Xu, Lu Chunjun plus Ning Zhan.
Luluo had originally been the only one Zhou Yuan had called over, but Zuoqiu Qingyu wanted to have a gathering before they split up in the Shengzhou Continent. To their surprise, even Zhen Xu, Li Chunjun and the not so familiar Ning Zhan had joined in.
All of them clearly understood that no matter how famous they previously were in the Cangmang Continent, the halo they used to have would now fade upon reaching the Shengzhou Continent.
Their future paths would have to be forged by themselves. No one knew whether or not they will once again ascend the peak or return mediocrity.
The three girls talked and laughed at one side, while Zhou Yuan raised his cup and smiled at Li Chunjun. ”I've been wanting to thank you for some time. If not for your help on the Saint stairs, Wu Huang would have likely taken first place.”
On the final leg of the Saint stairs, Li Chunjun had aided Zhou Yuan, allowing him to catch up to Wu Huang and ascend the peak together.
Li Chunjun's black cloth wrapped eyes 'looked' towards Zhou Yuan as he too raised a cup and emptied it, before his raspy voice sounded, ”It was because only you could do it. Wu Huang is very strong, and I cannot slay his physical body.”
”If you want to thank me, let me use you to polish my sword if there comes a chance in future…”
Zhou Yuan grinned and said in a carefree manner, ”I'll accompany you any time.”
Ning Zhan's eyes glowed when he heard this, unable to stop himself from saying, ”When that time comes, have a good battle with me too!”
”We can go at it now too.” Zhou Yuan chuckled.
Ning Zhan froze a little, shaking his head as he said, ”I doubt I'll be able to beat you now. You are even stronger than when you fought Wu Huang.”
Although he was a battle junky, his senses were extremely sharp. Thus, he could tell that Zhou Yuan was a whole other level compared to when he had fought Wu Huang.
By the side, Zuoqiu Qingyu placed her hand on her chin, smiling as she looked at Zhou Yuan. ”Zhou Yuan, I heard that there are more geniuses in the Shengzhou Continent than fish in the river, almost too many to count. You’d better not let yourself vanish into the crowd, making it such that I won’t even hear of your name.”
”So what if you do hear his name, are you going to tell others that he’s the groom you chose?” Luluo chuckled.
Zuoqiu Qingyu’s eyes swirled in thought, charmingly enchanting as she boldly declared, “If his name truly does spread in the Shengzhou Continent, I won’t lose out if Itell others that he’s a potential groom I have my eye on.”
“That’s why, you’ve got to work hard Zhou Yuan.” Zuoqiu Qingyu grinned widely.
There was a faint smile on Zhou Yuan’s face. The truth was that he knew. He knew that everyone was feeling some pressure after realising the future challenges they will face.
Zuoqiu Qingyu might seem to be teasing him, but under it all, was she not also encouraging him?
Zhou Yuan raised his cup, his gaze sweeping across everyone. After a brief silence, he smiled. “Friends whom I have stood beside me in battle. Although our Cangmang Continent is a tiny place, when we one day stand at the pinnacle of the Shengzhou Continent’s younger generation, they will know how amazing that tiny Cangmang Continent actually is.”
“Everyone, I hope to see all of you again at the peak.”
Under the rays of the moon, that young, kindly face wore a calm smile. It was as if an inextinguishable flame burned in his eyes, a sight that would slightly move anyone’s heart.
When Zuoqiu Qingyu’s glittering eyes gazed at the Zhou Yuan in that moment, she was a little surprised that the usually mild young man would have such an eye raising pride.
Li Chunjun, Ning Zhan and Zhen Xu felt the blood in their bodies stir slightly, before they lifted their cups and smashed them together.
“Haha, alright then, let’s see how many of us will shake the Shengzhou Continent in a few years!”
The passionate voices of these youth were filled with the carefreeness of the young.
At the top floor on the giant boat, Mu Wuji, the beautiful woman in palace garbs and the other few envoys seemed to sweep their gazes below, before they exchanged a look and let out a soft chuckle.
“How nice to be young…”
Nearby, there was a sinister look in Zhao Pan’s eyes as a mocking and disdainful smile rose from the corners of his mouth.
“What a bunch of foolish country bumpkins. When you reach the Shengzhou Continent and see the true Chosens, you will know how laughable your promise looked today…”
“Don’t worry Zhou Yuan… after I return and report everything to palace master, the Chosens from my Sacred Palace will likely crush your pitiful confidence to pieces…”
“Hehe, I really look forward to that day.”
