Chapter 832 Complete Defea (2/2)

A bucket of cold water had been poured over the originally excited atmosphere.

Hesitation emerged in the eyes of many individuals.

Even Ling Feng’s, Feng Si’s and Yuan Tiegang’s eyes flashed in thought.

Feng Si softly said, “My friends, Shang Xiaoling’s choice seems to be a little rash. We should not make any impulsive decisions but also consider the future.”

Ling Feng shot a glance at him and said, “You’re saying this because the Fire Pavilion talked to you before.”

Feng Si revealed a helpless smile. “But can any of you deny that pavilion master Lu Xiao is the strongest candidate?”

Feng Ling and Yuan Tiegang fell silent. They were not from any powerful factions and had suffered untold hardships in order to obtain the opportunity to enter the four pavilions. If Lu Xiao did become the chief pavilion master in the future, would offending him here be a wise decision?

But the Wind Pavilion’s benefits were extremely tempting...they were just far too attractive!

Zhou Yuan calmly observed the now somewhat doused atmosphere, and he indifferently said, “Pavilion master Lu Xiao, there are no absolutes. Chen Beifeng also believed previously that the position of being the Wind Pavilion’s pavilion master would be his.”

Lu Xiao shook his head as he sighed. “It will cost you dearly if you compare me with Chen Beifeng.”

Zhou Yuan could not be bothered to waste any more words on Lu Xiao. His gaze shifted towards the newcomer crowd and said, “That’s right, there’s something I forgot to mention earlier. I have to thank pavilion master Lu Xiao for jogging my memory.

“The truth is that the 40% increase in effectiveness is only with regards to regular Mother Runes. I can also manufacture a higher-grade rune that will raise the effectiveness by another 10%. Hehe, but I won’t be able to make a large amount, so I can’t really sell them to outsiders. I can only reserve them as welfare for some of the more outstanding Wind Pavilion members and the higher- ups.

“Oh, that should be all…”

After finishing, he sat down on a chair, and a quick-witted Wind Pavilion member immediately offered him a cup of hot tea.

The place fell silent once more.

Next, everyone could only watch as over twenty individuals walked out from the group of thirty or so newcomer Divine Dwelling List rankers. They slowly but determinedly headed towards the Wind Pavilion side.

The other newcomers also crowded over. Although there was less passion than before, anyone could tell that their resolve was much firmer.

Ling Feng and Yuan Tiegang sighed deeply before they said to Feng Si, “Our apologies, we can’t refuse such an offer.”

Hence, the two of them quickly turned around and walked towards the Wind Pavilion.

Feng Si’s expression fluctuated indeterminately as he gazed at their backs. Even he felt unable to resist such a temptation. However, he ultimately sighed in disappointment because he had already promised Lu Xiao that he would join the Fire Pavilion. If he went back on his word now, Lu Xiao would definitely be angered, and Lu Xiao was someone he could not afford to offend.

Despite this, he really did not want to think about the regret he now felt.

After all, even if Lu Xiao became the chief pavilion master in the future, he could not possibly get rid of an entire batch of them just like that, right?

More and more newcomers converged towards the Wind Pavilion side.

Lu Xiao tightly clenched his fists as his body faintly trembled. The emotions in his heart nearly made him explode in rage. At this very moment, he dearly wished that he could kill Zhou Yuan right then and there.

But he ultimately managed to forcibly restrain himself.

He looked deeply at Zhou Yuan, the frost in his eyes so intense that it could freeze one’s blood.

Lu Xiao knew that he had been utterly defeated this day.

But it does not matter. This is only the beginning...Zhou Yuan, after four months, you will understand how foolish your actions today were. When that happens, you will wish that you never offended me.
