Chapter 320 Success (2/2)
But how long had Zhou Yuan been in contact with that Genesis Rune boundary?
Li Qingchan’s mouth hung slightly open. Due to the matter from before, she did have some bias towards Zhou Yuan. Yaoyao’s protectiveness in particular had made the former view him as a person that could only depend on a woman.
However, it new seemed as if she had been wrong about him?
Zhou Yuan merely smiled in response to the trio’s puzzled gazes, not bothering to explain anything as he retrieved the half foot large Dragon Genesis Essence crystal from his Universe bag.
The moment it appeared, Kong Sheng and Li Qingchan’s gazes immediately shot over.
Kong Sheng looked at Zhou Yuan, a smile emerging on his rugged face as he said, “Junior brother, if you give that item to me, I can make a promise that will surely interest you.”
Li Qingchan shot a cold look at Kong Sheng. “Kong Sheng, have you not given up yet?”
“Everything has a price, as long as one is willing to pay.” Kong Sheng smiled slightly. His gaze shifted towards Zhou Yuan as he slowly said, “You should be junior brother Zhou Yuan of Saint Genesis Peak, am I right?”
“If you give it to me, I will let you become the chief disciple of Saint Genesis Peak.”
Li Qingchan coldly snorted. “Kong Sheng, every chief disciple made from facing countless challenges and adversity. You do not have the qualifications to give it.”
Kong Sheng smiled. “I may not have the qualifications, but I can make junior brother Yuan Hong step aside.”
Surprise flashed in Zhou Yuan’s eyes. It was indeed true that Yuan Hong was currently the greatest contender for the seat of chief disciple. If Kong Sheng could make him step aside, elder Shen’s group would have a really good chance.
Normally speaking, it was an offer that tempted one’s heart.
Kong Sheng’s smile grew even wider when he saw Zhou Yuan’s appearance. “How about it junior brother Zhou Yuan?”
Zhou Yuan seemed to fall into thought for a moment, before he smiled and said, “Your offer is indeed a little tempting…”
He grinned as he looked towards the frosty face of Li Qingchan. “What do you think senior sister Li?”
Li Qingchan shot him a cold look as she sneered, “I cannot offer the same.”
She could clearly feel that Zhou Yuan had been tempted, and was intentionally asking her for an even better offer. When she ultimately rejected him, he could void their previous agreement with a clear conscience, and then proceed to complete the deal with Kong Sheng.
Although such actions were quite shameless, Li Qingchan was a proud woman, and refused to try and threaten him with their previous agreement. In her opinion, it would instead make her appear weak.
Now, she could only take it that she had collaborated with the wrong person, though she had never once thought much of Zhou Yuan.
“So unfriendly, no fun at all.”
Zhou Yuan shrugged helplessly before smiling at Kong Sheng. “Senior brother Kong Sheng, although your offer is very tempting, I have to apologize, because I’ve already promised this Dragon Genesis Essence crystal to senior sister Li.”
Kong Sheng and Li Qingchan were stunned.
The smile on Kong Sheng’s face turned slightly rigid as he softly said, “You’re… rejecting me?”
He stared a Zhou Yuan, a faint sensation of danger spreading his smile.
In the Cangxuan Sect, a gold sash disciple actually dared to reject his offer?
However, Zhou Yuan seemed to be unable to detect the dangerous sensation, merely smiling as he nodded with an apologetic face. “I’m really sorry.”
“Won’t give it some consideration?” Kong Sheng smiled again, his black stone like eyes narrowing slightly.
Zhou Yuan shook his head as if put in a difficult spot.
“Heh…”
Kong Sheng chuckled softly, shaking his finger twice at Zhou Yuan as he said, “You are quite interesting…”
“Zhou Yuan, right…”
He deeply looked at Zhou Yuan, the expression in his eyes unreadable.
“Alright, I’ll remember it…”
With a swish of his sleeve, he turned around and walked away on the water.
Ye Ge also shot another glance at Zhou Yuan, clearly quite surprised that he would not give Kong Sheng face. This kid was really akin to an ignorant calf that was unafraid of a tiger.
However, he did not say anything in the end. After cupping his fists together towards Yaoyao, he also left.
On the surface of the reservoir, Zhou Yuan looked in the direction Kong Sheng had left him and shrugged.
“I seem to have offended someone…”
