Chapter 812 Crossing Swords with Lu Xiao (2/2)

“I wonder how it compares to the Celestial Shadow Art?”

Zhou Yuan muttered to himself. The Celestial Shadow Art was naturally the bodywork Genesis technique of the Snow Lotus Peak of the Cangxuan Sect. Back then, Li Qingchan had also brought him many headaches using this technique.

“Bodywork techniques are indeed one of my flaws. When the pavilion master selection is over, I should also study the Celestial Shadow Art.” Zhou Yuan’s eyes flashed. Lu Xiao’s bodywork Genesis technique made him remember the Celestial Shadow Art. Otherwise, if he had the chance to face Lu Xiao, he would be at a disadvantage if he only used the Ethereal Form.

Having been rejected multiple times, Lu Xiao had spoken in a threatening tone of voice in the end, implying that he wouldn’t leave this matter at that.

But there was no way that Zhou Yuan would hand over the refining method for the Mother Wind Rune.

Zhou Yuan sneered. Lu Xiao had better act wisely. Although the Mother Wind Rune had weakened the Fire Pavilion’s income, it could only be considered superficial pain, not a pain that cut deeply. But if Lu Xiao really forced him to bring out the Mother Fire Runes, the Mother Forest Runes and the Mother Mountain Runes, the Fire Pavilion’s business would really collapse.

On a suspended stone platform at the wind district’s exit.

Lu Xiao’s figure flashed out, and Chen Beifeng, who was waiting there, immediately greeted him with a respectful attitude.

“Pavilion master, what did Zhou Yuan say?” Chen Beifeng asked, evidently aware of Lu Xiao’s purpose for coming to the wind district.

Lu Xiao’s handsome face was a little dark, but that faded very soon, and he answered indifferently, “He refused.”

Chen Beifeng was surprised. “That boy is extremely daring!” he said through gritted teeth.

This guy even dared to decline Lu Xiao’s personal proposal. He is simply too arrogant. I have never seen anyone in the four pavilions who dared not give face to Lu Xiao.

“Capable people are bound to be arrogant.” Lu Xiao’s face was expressionless, but a sarcastic smile tugged the corners of his mouth.

In truth, when he said he would give the Fire Pavilion’s position of pavilion master to Zhou Yuan, it was just bait. Even if Zhou Yuan were to come to the Fire Pavilion, he would at most be a deputy pavilion master. There was not much hope in him becoming the pavilion master.

But to his surprise, Zhou Yuan was indifferent to the position.

“Then what?” Chen Beifeng sounded a little anxious. If Zhou Yuan was allowed to control the Mother Wind Runes, it would greatly affect his prestige in the Wind Pavilion.

An icy coldness flashed across Lu Xiao’s eyes as he uttered, “Since he doesn’t know what’s good for him, he can’t blame me for being ruthless.

“Chen Beifeng.”

Chen Beifeng immediately responded.

“There is still more than half a month before the Wind Pavilion’s pavilion master selection. This time you must win and make Zhou Yuan hand over the method of refining the Mother Wind Rune. He can’t enjoy such an important object alone.

“If he keeps it to himself, it will inevitably arouse criticism. It’s the same with the Mark Capturing Rune in the Fire Pavilion, which in fact, is used for the benefits of the members of the Fire Pavilion.

“When you get the refining method of the Mother Wind Rune, you can secretly leak it and then find someone to spread rumours that Zhou Yuan was dissatisfied with handing over the refining method and had deliberately leaked it. This way, he would lose his place in the Wind Pavilion.”

Hearing Lu Xiao speak so nonchalantly, Chen Beifeng felt his robe soak in cold sweat; this method was really too cruel, and it would be almost impossible for Zhou Yuan to recover.

Chen Beifeng soon nodded excitedly. He said without the slightest hesitation, “Pavilion master Lu is indeed brilliant!”

Zhou Yuan had offended Lu Xiao, which was an extremely foolish action.

Lu Xiao casually waved his hand. “I have already given him face, but he doesn’t want it. Therefore I can only make him fall. I hope he can figure out what he should do before the pavilion master selection and come to bow his head. Then, perhaps I can save him.

“If he still has the same attitude—”

He shook his head and didn’t say anything more. He directly stepped out of the wind district.
