Chapter 321 Offended (1/2)

Peace completely returned to the surface of the reservoir in the wake of Kong Sheng and Ye Ge’s departure. Any signs of the earlier battle were also washed away by the water.

Zhou Yuan’s eyes faintly flickered for a moment as he gazed at Kong Sheng’s back. Although Zhou Yuan had not wanted things to become so sour between himself and a Chosen, things had not turned out as he wished.

Moreover, Kong Sheng may have appeared friendly when they talked earlier, but there was a faint trace of superiority in his voice.

It was clear that Kong Sheng looked down on Zhou Yuan somewhat, and if not for the Dragon Genesis Essence crystal, the former would not have ‘lowered’ himself to speak to the latter

One was after all a Chosen, while the other was a mere gold sash disciple.

The disparity in their status was far too great.

However, Zhou Yuan merely laughed it off, not feeling humiliated by this treatment. It was true that Kong Sheng currently had the qualifications to be prideful.

The main reason for this was because Zhou Yuan was weak, but he had time, and believed that Kong Sheng’s attitude will naturally change when Zhou Yuan one day stood amongst the ranks of the Chosens.

To be treated as an equal, one naturally needed to work hard.

Of course, the problem now was that although Zhou Yuan did not mind Kong Sheng’s arrogant attitude, the latter rather minded the fact that Zhou Yuan had rejected the offer...

In Kong Sheng’s eyes, Zhou Yuan likely did not have the right to reject him.

“How troublesome…”

Zhou Yuan helplessly stuck out his lower lip. There was already an agreement between him and Li Qingchan, and would naturally not renegade on it for Kong Sheng or he would only end up offending Li Qingchan for no good reason.

After all, unintentionally trespassing into Li Qingchan’s personal hot spring had already angered her. If he were to also go back on his word, he would likely be banished into the abyss in the heart of the number one beauty of the Cangxuan Sect.

Moreover, Li Qingchan and Kong Sheng were both Chosens, so no matter how one looked at it, Zhou Yuan could not possibly offend Li Qingchan because of Kong Sheng.

Never offend a woman.

Especially one that was so pretty.

While Zhou Yuan was lamenting in his heart, a fragrance suddenly drifted over from the side. He turned his head, to find that Li Qingchan had arrived beside him, a strange look in her usually cold as an ice mountain eyes.

Li Qingchan nonchalantly asked, “You dare to reject even Kong Sheng?”

Zhou Yuan sighed. “If I don’t offend him, I’ll be offending you. Do I have a choice?”

Li Qingchan’s eyebrows raised slightly. “Are you saying that I’m scarier than Kong Sheng in your eyes?”

Zhou Yuan stretched his back and chuckled. “I only feel that it will be much easier to better my relationship with you than him. He doesn’t seem to think much of me, so it likely won’t mean much to him even if I did give him the Dragon Genesis Essence crystal.”

Li Qingchan glanced at Zhou Yuan in astonishment, not expecting him to have such a clear view of the situation. It seems that she had still underestimated him somewhat.

“Since I’ve offended Kong Sheng because of you, you’ll have to support me in future.” Teased Zhou Yuan.

It was suppose to be a joke, but Li Qingchan gave a slight nod in response and earnestly declared, “If he does cause trouble for you, feel free to find me at Snow Lotus Peak.”

Although she was still somewhat unable to get over the fact that Zhou Yuan barged in while she was in the hot spring, Li Qingchan agreed that Zhou Yuan had offended Kong Sheng because of her, and felt responsible for this matter.

“Eh…” Zhou Yuan was taken aback, clearly not expecting such an earnest reply from Li Qingchan.

However, Li Qingchan’s gaze quickly shifted towards Yaoyao and said, “But I feel that with her at your side, Kong Sheng will be pretty powerless to do anything to you.”

Yaoyao lazily said, “From the earlier exchange, the Chosens of Cangxuan Sect are indeed quite disappointing.”

Li Qingchan’s frowned a little. Yaoyao’s words were clearly belittling all of the Chosens, including herself.

Li Qingchan icily said, “Shameless boasting.”

Yaoyao’s clear, empty eyes paused on Li Qingchan’s lovely figure as she said in a slightly interested voice, “Try me if you don’t believe my words.”

“I’ll happily take up that challenge.” Li Qingchan immediately responded. She was a proud person after all.

Since Kong Sheng had already been dealt with, the two girls seemed to be about to butt heads again.

Zhou Yuan’s head ached. How could not see that Yaoyao was intentionally provoking Li Qingchan. Though she was usually rather distant and unfriendly to others, she immediately responded to all of Yaoyao’s provocations.
