Chapter 577 Probing (2/2)

The Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace disciples gazed at this scene in amazement, especially Luluo, who had been so frightened that her face had turned white as sheet earlier. Fan Yao’s attack had after all been way too sneaky and deadly.

“Luluo, I’m beginning to believe that he is the most outstanding person in your generation.” Tang Xiaoyan looked towards Luluo and softly chuckled.

There was a sliver of graveness in the depths of her eyes. If Fan Yao had used that technique against her, she would have most likely been unable to react. However, Zhou Yuan had dealt with it as if he had already seen through Fan Yao’s intentions.

Such keen senses and perceptive ability was very terrifying indeed.

Luluo slapped her chest, relieving her earlier anxiety as she nodded with a wide grin. “Of course! I wasn’t joking when I said it!”

By the side, Zhao Ru indifferently said, “There’s no need to exaggerate so much, he merely managed to deal with a single probing attack from Fan Yao. If you believe this proves that Zhou Yuan had the qualifications to fight Fan Yao, I can only say that you’re underestimating the third ranked chief disciple of the Sacred Palace.”

This time, Tang Xiaoyan gave a small nod of agreement. “Junior sister Zhao Ru is right. Fan Yao is no ordinary individual, and he will only view Zhou Yuan more seriously after this failure.”

Luluo mumbled to herself, “I believe in Zhou Yuan!”

Although she said so, there was some worry in her large, limpid eyes. She looked towards Tang Xiaoyan and softly said, “Senior sister Xiaoyan, Fan Yao is so powerful and unscrupulous, I feel that allowing the Cangxuan Sect to stay and maintain a balance of power between our three groups will be beneficial to us.”

Tang Xiaoyan shot Luluo a surprised look as she smiled, “Lass, I’m surprised that you’re able to see the situation so clearly.”

“However, your ultimate goal is for us to help the Cangxuan Sect, right?”

Luluo mumbled, “Compared to Fao Yao, I definitely feel that Zhou Yuan is more trustworthy!”

By the side, Zhao Ru crossed her arms before her chest and said, “I object. We should remain neutral. It’s Sacred Palace business if they want to deal with the Cangxuan Sect, while it would be more beneficial for us to sit back and watch them fight.”

She swept a glance at Luluo. “Luluo, there’s no way to know a person’s heart. Zhou Yuan may have been your good friend in the past, but who knows whether he has changed since then? Do not let your personal feelings implicate all of us.”

If they had to choose, she would rather side with Fan Yao . Fan Yao was stronger after all, and they would be able to easily crush the Cangxuan Sect side together.

When that happened, there would be one less party to share the spoils with.

However, she could tell that Tang Xiaoyan was rather on guard against Fan Yao, and knew that the latter would not agree even if she suggested it. As such, she settled for the next best thing, requesting their Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace to remain neutral.

Luluo’s face turned a little red after being scolded by Zhao Ru.

While they were conversing, Fan Yao’s stormy expression gradually returned to normal. Iciness filled his eyes as he said, “That was merely a probe of your abilities. If you can’t even manage against that, you don’t deserve to stand here and speak to me.”

Zhou Yuan smiled faintly. “So are you happy with the results of your probing?”

Fan Yao’s scarlet pupils stared at Zhou Yuan. Moments later, he slowly nodded and said, “Zhou Yuan, you are quite talented, but unfortunately, your Cangxuan Sect will soon lose a talented disciple.”

Zhou Yuan chuckled. “They may not be certain, what if another Sacred Palace chief disciple dies instead?”

The duo’s gazes clashed, killing intent spilling onto the surroundings.

From the looks of it, if not because this was not an appropriate place and time, both of them would have begun fighting for real.

While the two were bristling with killing intent, Tang Xiaoyan suddenly stepped forward, and looked towards them as she said in a gentle voice, “This is neither the time or place to fight. If possible, why not we discuss things first? After all, the six color treasure location does not appear to be a kindly place.”

The moment she said this, the killing intent from Fan Yao and Zhou Yuan’s body immediately dissipated at the same time.

“Agreed.”

The two individuals simultaneously nodded in agreement.

Their well-coordinated response caused Tang Xiaoyan to chuckle. Although both Zhou Yuan and Fan Yao could not wait to kill the other, it was obvious that neither of them wanted to do it here.

At the end of the day, they were both worried that the Hundred Fairy Flowers Palace would ultimately become the fisherman that catches them both.
