Chapter 783 Deputy Pavilion Master of the Wind Pavilion (2/2)
Chi Jing stared at Zhou Yuan and then said to Yi Yan and Yi Qiushui, “You two go out first, I have something to say to Zhou Yuan.”
Yi Qiushui and Yi Yan could see the confusion in each other’s eyes, but they didn’t dare to ignore the order and immediately exited the golden palace hall.
After leaving, Yi Yan’s face was still crossed with disbelief as he kept shaking his head. He was clearly still bothered by what had happened inside.
“Why would Lady Chi Jing give the position of deputy pavilion master to Zhou Yuan?” Yi Qiushui couldn’t help asking.
The status of the Wind Pavilion master was equivalent to an elder like Yi Yan, and the position of deputy pavilion master wasn’t much lower. If Zhou Yuan was an expert of the Nascent Source stage, Yi Yan wouldn’t be surprised by this treatment, but he was merely an intermediate Divine Dwelling stage practitioner!
Had something like this ever happened before?
Yi Yan couldn’t help but murmur, “Could...Lady Chi Jing have taken a liking to Zhou Yuan?”
Yi Qiushui immediately blushed and said irritably, “Grandpa, what are you talking about? What kind of status does Lady Chi Jing have? How high is her standards? How would she...I’m not saying that Zhou Yuan isn’t good, but this is impossible!”
Yi Yan smiled awkwardly and then turned back to look at the golden palace. If Chi Jing heard what he had said, a bout of suffering would likely await him.
Hence, he could only keep shaking his head. He eventually said, “From the looks of it, perhaps Lady Chi Jing wanted to show Gu Yan who’s boss. After all, the Heavenly Spirit Sect has often made Lady Chi Jing annoyed or stressed.”
Yi Qiushui nodded. This was the only reason that could explain what had happened. But for Zhou Yuan, it was as though a pie had fallen from the sky.
...
Inside the golden palace hall. After Yi Yan and the others had left, Chi Jing calmly spoke again, “All secret guards, withdraw.”
The subtle waves of Genesis Qi in the golden palace hall vanished, and Zhou Yuan could also feel that the vigilant gazes in the dark were gone.
He was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
He lifted his head in astonishment because Chi Jing’s figure had already mysteriously appeared in front of him like a ghost as she stared at him without blinking.
At the same time, Zhou Yuan could detect an indescribable sense of oppression gradually spreading from Chi Jing’s body.
Chi Jing slowly asked, “You, where did you learn the Primal Chaos Divine Grindstone Visualisation Method?”
When Zhou Yuan secretly activated the Primal Chaos Divine Grindstone Visualisation Method, Chi Jing had felt a very familiar aura, because she too cultivated this techniuqe…
Under Chi Jing’s watchful gaze, the space around Zhou Yuan had solidified, blocking off all of his escape. At this moment, even if he wanted to explode his Divine Dwelling, he most likely would be unable to do so.
But Zhou Yuan remained surprisingly calm as he answered, “Is there anyone else besides our master who can teach the Primal Chaos Divine Grindstone Visualisation Method?”
Chi Jing’s expression shook. Slowly, she said, “Are you saying that my master gave it to you?
“What proof do you have?!”
“Is the Primal Chaos Divine Grindstone Visualisation Method not enough?” asked Zhou Yuan.
“Not enough.”
Zhou Yuan pondered for a moment before stretching out his hand. Light flashed in his palm. The next moment, a black mottled brush appeared.
Staring at the very familiar black brush, Chi Jing gently touched it with a trembling hand. Zhou Yuan could see that her clear and bright eyes had misted over. Eventually a single tear rolled slowly down her cheek.
