Chapter 406 Cheating (2/2)

Li Qingchan calmly said, “That is his choice, and the only one he shames will be himself. The dignity of the Cangxuan Sect will never be at stake in such an insignificant affair.”

Zhao Zhu was somewhat speechless. In the end, he could only let out an icy snort, before he said, “Then we’ll just watch and see how it turns out.”

Beside Li Qingchan, Bai Li also looked down and said in a low voice, “But this kid does seem to be quite a womanizer. We’ve just barely arrived, and he’s already become so intimate with her.”

It was obvious that she was also quite dissatisfied with Zhou Yuan. Since he was here for a freebie Heaven Credit, he should at least act as if he was working hard. And yet, he had ended up getting into some kind of love rivalry because of a Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace disciple.

“I should tell you now that if he ends up doing poorly in the mission, I will report only the truth to the elder when we return. When that time comes, even you will not be able to influence anything.”

Li Qingchan did not reply to Bai Li’s words, merely letting out a soft sigh inside. Her clear eyes swept towards Zhou Yuan below, as a look of disappointment flitted across them.

Perhaps it was indeed a mistake to have fought so strongly to bring him along for this mission.

In her eyes, Zhou Yuan’s actions and attitude were his petty revenge against how elder Wu had treated him.

...

Down below, Zhou Yuan was naturally unaware of the attention from the second floor. He was unable to stop a smile from appearing on his lips when he saw Su Duan wager his ancient wood bracelet.

“So how does brother Su want to play this?” Zhou Yuan’s voice seemed to become much warmer and friendlier at this moment.

Su Duan grinned as he stared at Zhou Yuan, before pointing towards the rock gambling area. “We’ll follow the usual rules. Each of us will go forth and select five rocks, before opening them in front of the crowd. Whoever gets the older essence flames will be the winner. How does that sound?”

He paused for a moment, turning towards Zuoqiu Qingyu and displayed an elegant smile, before he said, “Never mind, others will say I’m bullying you if we do this. How about I select five flame rocks, while you can do ten.”

Zhou Yuan chuckled, and was just about to say there was no need.

However, Su Duan was already waving his hand, indicating there was no room for discussion. “That’s settled then.”

A playful smile adorned Su Duan’s face. He wanted to achieve an indisputable victory, and give Zhou Yuan no way to refute it. At the same time, Su Duan also wanted to taste the feeling of crushing a Cangxuan Sect disciple under his feet.

Though he was the junior sect master of the Flame Cauldron Sect, he was no spoiled pushover. He was a veteran of flame rock gambling with abundant experience that did not lose to any master of the art. As such, the thought of a loss never once appeared in his mind.

The numerous local geniuses of the Black Flame Province around Su Duan began to cheer due to the magnaminty he was showing.

They obviously wanted Zhou Yuan to be thoroughly humiliated in front of Zuoqiu Qingyu such that he would fall completely out of her favor.

Zhou Yuan chuckled helplessly as he gazed at the seemingly dashing Su Duan. In the end, he nodded and said, “Since brother Su is so generous, I naturally have no objections.”

Su Duan grinned slightly. Without further ado, he took the lead and stepped into the rock gambling area as he gazed began to sweep across the countless pitch-black rocks.

Zhou Yuan merely smiled as he gazed at his opponent’s confident figure.

No one knew that the Saint Rune in his pupils had already secretly activated, red light beginning to rise one after another within each flame rock in the gambling area.

Just as he had expected, the flame rocks may be able to block other senses, but they were powerless before the Decoder Saint Rune.

The flame rocks now clearly appeared in his eyes as burning flames of varying sizes...

In the face of such a situation, Zhou Yuan could only sigh softly.

Even if you’re an expert with as much experience as a grandmaster...

You'll never be able to match my cheating...
