Chapter 808 Shock (1/2)

Ye Bingling sat upright; her beautiful face looked a little haggard, and her tightly clamped lips revealed that she was in a very bad mood.

And beside her, in addition to Yi Qiushui and Liu Zhixuan, were more than a dozen of figures with a darkened face. These people were Ye Bingling’s core supporters, who also occupied a high position in the Wind Pavilion.

Ye Bingling rubbed her beautiful brows and ran her eyes across the crowd, asking suddenly, “Where is Li Jian?”

Some of their expressions changed. It was after a moment when someone suppressed his anger and replied, “That bastard has joined Chen Beifeng’s side.”

Ye Bingling couldn’t help clenching her beautiful hands. Her countenance turned cold, and in the end, she slammed the table without saying anything.

Anyone could tell that Ye Bingling was inwardly furious, because Li Jian was one of Ye Bingling’s only two supporters before Zhou Yuan had come to the Wind Island.

She wouldn’t be so furious if it was someone else who had chosen to support Chen Beifeng for the benefits of the Mark Capturing Runes. After all, they hadn’t received any real benefits from her. They only supported her because of her charm, but Li Jian was different. If it weren’t for her, it would have been impossible for Li Jian to become a commander.

She didn’t expect the person who had received great favours from her to betray her for Mark Capturing Runes. It should be said that even Xiao Hong, Li Fa and Lu Mingyue—the latest to join them—did not show signs of wavering as of yet.

“Ingrate!” someone hissed.

“Commander Li Jian most likely had the intention to change sides long ago, and the Mark Capturing Rune was just an excuse,” Yi Qiushui said softly.

The others were even more furious when they heard her, and even Ye Bingling couldn’t help but grit her teeth in anger.

But in the end, Ye Bingling could only let out a long sigh. Given the present situation, there was simply nothing she could do. The influence of the Mark Capture Runes was indeed too great for ordinary members.

Now, she could only wait for the pavilion master selection. If she won and obtained the position of pavilion master, she could directly order a stop to Chen Beifeng’s actions.

But...it wouldn’t be that easy to beat Chen Beifeng in the pavilion master selection.

“Where’s Zhou Yuan?” Ye Bingling asked.

Yi Qiushui gave a bitter smile. “It seems he is still in secluded cultivation. I haven’t heard anything from him.”

Hearing this, some of Ye Bingling’s hardcore supporters couldn’t help remarking in a dissatisfied tone, “Deputy pavilion master Zhou is too unreliable. He is clearly the one who had angered Wang Chen, but he has hidden himself when something has happened...”

Ye Bingling waved her hand and said, “There’s no use saying such meaningless words now. Zhou Yuan isn’t hiding. He is just trying to figure out the mystery of the Mark Capturing Rune and then reproduce it.”

The others looked at one another and in the end shook their heads with wry smiles. “If the Mark Capturing Rune is so easy to recreate, how could the Fire Pavilion become so powerful?”

And how could they end up in such a miserable state?

Deputy pavilion master Zhou was too naive.

Ye Bingling also sighed inwardly. In truth, she also didn’t have too much expectation for Zhou Yuan. It was inevitable that she felt a little disappointed since there hadn’t been any news of him in days.

“Never mind, let Chen Beifeng do what he wants for the time being. When the pavilion master selection comes, we will decide the winner and the loser.” Ye Bingling forcibly mustered her energy.

Everybody nodded silently. There was nothing else they could do.

Ha.

But at this moment, the living room door suddenly swung open, and a figure strode in with a smile. “I don’t like to endure. If there is enmity, I have to get revenge right away.”

Everybody turned around to see Zhou Yuan, who had been absent for days.

Ye Bingling rolled her eyes and said snappily, “What else can you do if you don’t endure it? Are you going to snatch their Mark Capturing Runes?”

Zhou Yuan sat down on a chair next to Ye Bingling and stretched his waist, a trace of tiredness in his eyes. The last few days of deriving a similar rune had evidently exhausted him. He picked up a cup of tea and gulped it down completely.

But when he set the cup down, he smelled a faint fragrance at the rim of the cup.

He choked and looked up to see Ye Bingling’s beautiful but cold eyes staring at him. Her beautiful hand against the table was also emitting cold frost.

Evidently, the cup belonged to Ye Bingling.

“Zhou Yuan, you have been gone for several days, and as a result you have become leisurely and carefree.” Ye Bingling gritted her teeth. She really wanted to teach him a lesson.
