Chapter 503 Appeal for Aid (1/2)

The cooling night enveloped the land like a layer of gauze.

When Yaoyao returned to the cave dwelling from Spirit Rune Peak, she saw a sumptuous meal laid on the stone table in the cave. With a glance, she discovered that they were all light dishes, which just so happened to be the ones she liked.

By the tableside, Zhou Yuan was smiling as he looked at her and politely said, “You’re back at last big sis Yaoyao. Quick, come and have a seat.”

Yaoyao cast a puzzled glance at him as she elegantly seated herself. “Suddenly fawning me for no reason, what do you want?”

An awkward expression was immediately revealed on Zhou Yuan’s face. “Come on, you make me sound so pragmatic.”

However, Yaoyao ignored him. She picked up a pair of chopsticks and casually sampled a dash. Her red lips gleamed a little, making her even more enchanting as a lazy voice sounded from her mouth, “So you’re really not going to ask for any favors?”

Zhou Yuan coughed softly and said, “Is big sis Yaoyao interested in the Genesis reservoir ceremony?”

Baili Che had come today to declare that Sword Cometh Peak was going to vent their frustrations on Saint Genesis Peak, and someone like Zhou Yuan was naturally not going to easily yield, or let them have their way.

Since both sides had burned the bridge between them, Sword Cometh Peak was definitely going to do something during the Genesis reservoir ceremony that would make life difficult for Saint Genesis Peak.

As the new chief disciple of Saint Genesis Peak, if Zhou Yuan failed to guarantee some benefits for the disciples in the ceremony, many of them would undoubtedly become very disappointed, and may even begin to have doubts about their new chief disciple.

Zhou Yuan naturally did not feel much attachment to the position of chief disciple, but this did not mean that he would allow Sword Cometh Peak to have their way.

Although Zhou Yuan was very unyielding, he had to face reality. Saint Genesis Peak was indeed too weak.

A mere two factions was not even a tenth other peaks.

Moreover, Saint Genesis Peak only had a single chief disciple to represent them, and no Chosen at all.

As such, their top tier power was extremely frail.

Hence, if Zhou Yuan did not wish for Saint Genesis Peak to perform too badly in the Genesis reservoir ceremony, he needed to bolster the forces on his side. After mulling over it, he came to the conclusion that there was no power that was more dependable than Yaoyao.

Although the base of their power was still too weak, as long as he could pull Yaoyao into the ceremony, he would no longer have to fear the other party’s Chosens, which would be a huge worry off his mind.

“So this is what it’s about.” Yaoyao seemed to smile as she glanced at Zhou Yuan.

The truth was that she had already heard wind of this in Spirit Rune Peak today. Everyone could clearly feel the resentment oozing from Sword Cometh Peak at this time, and yet Shen Taiyuan still chose to chase Lu Hong’s faction out of Saint Genesis Peak. This was undoubtedly akin to pouring oil into the fire.

The Genesis reservoir ceremony was essentially a competition between the various peaks. Thus, Sword Cometh Peak was sure to make good use of the opportunity to teach Saint Genesis Peak a painful lesson, and release some of the bitter feelings bottled up inside.

Even if peak master Ling Jun heard of this matter, though he would not openly show his support, he would definitely not chide them for it, which was basically a form of silent approval.

It was obvious that peak master Ling Jun was also angry due to the recent events.

Since the other peak masters had eaten up a portion of Sword Cometh Peak’s resources, they would naturally close one eye towards this matter. Hence, it would be very difficult for the allyless Saint Genesis Peak to escape being taught a lesson by Sword Cometh Peak.

Zhou Yuan nodded as he looked towards Yaoyao with expectant eyes.

Yaoyao merely continued slowly chewing her food. Soon after, a slight smile emerged on her face as she said, “I’m not very interested in the Genesis reservoir ceremony.”

Given her character, it was clear that she would prefer holing herself up in the Spirit Rune Hall or the cave dwelling to study Genesis Runes. As for the Genesis reservoir ceremony where the various peaks would be competing, it would certainly be a very chaotic and troublesome affair.

Zhou Yuan’s face turned rigid as a miserable look appeared. If Yaoyao did not wish to participate, it would really be quite a headache for him.

Yaoyao did not even look at Zhou Yuan as she continued to eat tiny mouthful after mouthful. A long while later, she finally put down her chopsticks in satisfaction and stood up, the corners of her lips curled a little, when she finally looked at the distressed Zhou Yuan.

“Although I’ve no interest in the Genesis reservoir ceremony, on account that you didn’t choose to move to a new cave dwelling previously, I will reluctantly make a trip down to the reservoir.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuan’s head immediately snapped up in happiness. “Really?”

Yaoyao teased, “What choice do I have? If I don’t go, you’ll likely become all mopey after being bullied by those two Chosens from Sword Cometh Peak.”
