Chapter 762 Arriving in Xuanzhou City (1/2)
Zhou Yuan stared blankly at the name ranked third on the Divine Dwelling List and fell into a trance for a good while.
A few years ago, Zhou Yuan was just a youngster of the Heaven Gate stage who had just left the Great Zhou Empire. He just wanted to find a way to fight against King Wu.
That was also when Su Youwei was separated from him and taken away by a mysterious old man.
Since then, the two had never seen each other again.
It was only later that Zhou Yuan learnt that she had gone to Hunyuan Heaven, and besides being upset, he could only wish her good luck.
“I didn’t expect the thin and weak little girl from back then would achieve such a status and position in Hunyuan Heaven...” Zhou Yuan sighed, his eyes filled with tears of nostalgia. The first time he saw Su Youwei, the little girl was covered in mud. She was dragging her seriously ill grandfather in the heavy rain, and knelt in front of a medicine shop, crying heartbreakingly for help.
The little girl was from an insignificant background. She, like a little plant in the crevices of rocks of the desert, grew tenaciously with many hardships and eventually bloomed with a brilliance that belonged to her alone.
From Su Youwei, Zhou Yuan could see a strength that even he couldn’t compare to. Therefore Zhou Yuan wasn’t surprised by her achievements.
“Youwei, congratulations...”
Zhou Yuan smiled inwardly as if he could hear the little girl’s voice calling ‘Your Highness, Your Highness’ constantly echoing in his ears.
However, after so many years, the little girl was not the same anymore. In terms of status, she was far superior to the prince of a little empire.
He also wondered if things would remain the same if they were to meet again.
Given her present status, it was likely that no one would let her call him Your Highness anymore, right?
“What, have you ever heard of Zixiao Region’s Su Youwei before?” Yi Qiushui asked in puzzlement, seeing that Zhou Yuan’s gaze had been fixed on Su Youwei’s name for some time.
Zhou Yuan slowly retracted his gaze, chuckling, “How would I...? I just think that the women of Hunyuan Heaven are really powerful. There are two women ranked in the top three.”
“Wu Yao of the Wushen Region and Su Youwei of the Zixiao Region are indeed top talents of Hunyuan Heaven. Even the supreme sovereigns of the two domains attach great importance to them. Their achievements are limitless.
“But speaking of them, it’s very interesting. Su Youwei is said to be very gentle and calm, but when she sees Wu Yao, it is as though she changes into another person. A battle always breaks out.
“It feels like there is deep enmity between the two.
“The elders of Zixiao Region stopped getting involved in the end. Perhaps, in their opinion, it was good for two outstanding talents to compete with each other.”
Yi Qiushui covered her mouth and smiled. “So now, the place wherever Wu Yao and Su Youwei appear at the same time will immediately attract countless attention. Of course, they are also considered the most stunning girls in Hunyuan Heaven, whether it is in beauty or talent. It is unknown just how many people admire them...
“Because of them, many remarkable talents in Hunyuan Heaven have divided themselves into the Wu Yao party and the Youwei party.”
Even Yi Qiushui, a great beauty, was somewhat envious of them. But she also had to admit that Wu Yao and Su Youwei were indeed the two brightest pearls of Hunyuan Heaven’s younger generation.
Zhou Yuan couldn’t help scratching his head when he heard this. Others might find Su Youwei’s extreme hostility towards Wu Yao to be inexplicable, but he had a vague idea.
Su Youwei had spent many years in the Great Wu, and of course knew about his feud with the Great Wu, and the existence of Wu Huang and Wu Yao...
Could it be that Su Youwei was against Wu Yao because of him?
