Chapter 262 What Are We Playing (2/2)

While stuck in the strange atmosphere, the sound of a cup slamming into the table was suddenly heard. Zhao Kun and the rest immediately looked over, only for their expression to change slightly.

They had seen a girl in black seated beside Lu Feng. She was quite the gorgeous specimen, but her eyes were filled with an icy haughtiness.

The most eye-catching thing, however, was the exquisite golden sash around her slender waist.

Lu Xuanyin, an inner mountain gold sash disciple.

Lu Xuanyin was expressionless, staring at her cup as her cold voice sounded in the Hundred Fragrances House, “Since when does the Hundred Fragrances House allow just anyone to come in? This is really affecting my appetite.”

Zhao Kun, Qiao Xiu and the rest turned red with embarrassment and anger after hearing the words that were clearly directed at them. Rage filled their eyes, but none of them dared to retort due to Lu Xuanyin’s status as an inner mountain gold sash disciple.

Zhou Yuan’s eyes were calm as he offhandedly asked, “Since when does a gold sash disciple manage the rules of the Hundred Fragrances House?”

Upon hearing that Zhou Yuan actually dared to retort, Lu Xuanyin’s eyes hardened as she frostily said, “As expected of an outer mountain disciple, doesn’t even know proper behaviour.”

She looked towards the manager of the place and said, “Manager Liu, I’ll be booking the entire place today. Get these eyesores to leave so they won’t keep ruining my mood.”

The middle-aged man called manager Liu bitterly complained in his heart. He knew that Lu Xuanyin was well liked in the Sword Cometh Peak, and was not someone a manager of the Hundred Fragrances House like himself could afford to offend.

Hence, he could only turn his gaze towards Zhou Yuan’s group.

Zhou Yuan frowned, staring at manager Liu as he said, “I’ve never heard that the Hundred Fragrances House can chase other disciples out.”

Manager Liu could only let out a bitter laugh.

Liu Xuanyin suddenly stood up, crossing her arms before her chest as she looked towards Zhou Yuan and the rest with ridicule and toyingly said, “Don’t say that your senior sister is too overbearing, you may be able to stay if you want. As long as one of you can receive a single strike from my sword, I will happily pay all of your expenses here today.”

“But if you don’t have the courage, you’d better leave soon so as not to spoil my appetite.” By this point, her words were filled with iciness.

Zhao Kun and the rest had ugly expressions. Lu Xuanyin was an inner mountain gold sash disciple, someone whose strength far surpassed outer mountain disciples like themselves. Even a fourth layer Alpha-Origin would be hard pressed to receive a single attack from her sword.

Lu Feng smiled faintly as he watched, secretly praising Lu Xuanyin inside. If the other party dared to accept, he or she would surely be crippled. If they did not, it would be a devastating blow to their morale, making it very difficult for them to bring out their full power during the peak selection ceremony tomorrow.

Zhou Yuan’s expression darkened somewhat. Lu Xuanyin’s plan was truly disgusting. The peak selection ceremony was literally tomorrow, and she could still come up with such a tactic to demoralise them.

He may perhaps be able to receive Lu Xuanyin’s attack, but did not plan to take such a risk, because he knew that she was certainly waiting for him to take the bait.

However, Zhou Yuan’s expression remained calm.

Qiao Xiu secretly inquired, “Young brother Yuan, what do we do?”

Zhou Yuan’s expression was cool and collected. “We wait.”

“Wait.”

Qiao Xiu was taken aback, completely confused.

“Oh? You guys looked so proud earlier, why have you now become akin to ostriches who have stuck their heads in the sand?” Lu Xuanyin sneered as she gazed upon the crowd.

The Shengzhou disciples immediately laughed loudly in accompaniment.

Zhao Kun and the rest sat uncomfortably in their seats, anger and restraining fear interchanging on their faces as they looked towards Zhou Yuan.

While they were waiting for Zhou Yuan’s decision, a cold, lazy sounding voice sounded from the entrance of the Hundred Fragrances Pavilion.

”Are you the one who wants to play?”

The place fell silent, every gaze gathering at the entrance a split second later.

An amazingly pretty figure gracefully stood at the door, a little creature in her arms. Her fine black hair hung down from her head, while a pair of clear eyes seemed to contain an indifference towards all things.

The moonlight fell upon her, making her seem akin to a fairy from the moon palace. Even someone as beautiful as Lu Xuanyin seemed to lose all color before this goddess.

Her clear eyes gazed towards the slightly rigid Lu Xuanyin as a nonchalant voice sounded once again,

”What are we playing? Let me accompany you.”
