Chapter 866 Prize (1/2)
Mu Qingyan’s pretty little face was lit up with joy. Even she didn’t expect this situation to happen. After all, who could have imagined that the strongest, the Fire Pavilion, would lose to the Wind Pavilion?
Mu Liu smiled somewhat smugly. “So? My cooperation was not a failure, right?”
Mu Qingyan pursed her lips, but didn’t deny it. “Zhou Yuan is indeed surprising.”
Eyes flashing, she whispered, “The Fire Pavilion and the Mountain Pavilion have been eliminated now, so do we need to be careful?”
According to the agreement between Zhou Yuan and Mu Liu, if they could defeat the Fire Pavilion and the Mountain Pavilion, the two pavilions would evenly divide the Heavenly Sun Flames. Mu Qingyan had never thought that they could succeed, so she hadn’t thought too deeply about it. But now that the fruits of victory were really in front of her, she could finally think clearly.
It should be said that, in terms of fire lotuses, the number of Heavenly Sun Flames born in the Heaven Flame Ritual nearly every time was more than one million.
That was a pretty scary amount.
In the face of such a prize, anyone would be filled with greedy and covetous thoughts, so Mu Qingyan wasn’t certain that Zhou Yuan would split the prize according to the original agreement because it would entail the loss of at least hundreds of thousands of fire lotuses formed from Heavenly Sun Flames.
If so many Heavenly Sun Flames were available for their cultivation, it would certainly enhance the Wind Pavilion’s strength significantly.
Wealth could stir up the will of people, not to mention that the Heavenly Sun Flames had more appeal. Heavenly Sun Flames could only be refined by experts of the Heavenly Sun stage, but the quantity and quality were not as pure and great as the Heavenly Sun Flames in the Heaven Flame Cauldron.
Judging from the means and power that Zhou Yuan had shown, it was clear that, under his control, the overall Spirit power of the Wind Pavilion was much stronger than that of the Forest Pavilion. Therefore Zhou Yuan had the ability to destroy the agreement.
When Mu Liu heard this, he simply smiled and didn’t seem to care much. “If it was Lu Xiao, then I would have been secretly on guard, but with Zhou Yuan I don’t feel that there’s a need.”
Mu Qingyan didn’t say anything, but her beautiful eyes flickered, and she evidently still remained vigilant.
Zhou Yuan came over with Ye Bingling and Yi Qiushui. He looked at Mu Liu, smiled and stretched out his hand, “It seems that the result of our first cooperation isn’t bad.”
Zhou Yuan waved his hand, saying, “We will keep to what we agreed on. Without you blocking the Mountain Pavilion, there was no way I could have dealt with the Fire Pavilion.”
Mu Liu gazed at Zhou Yuan’s handsome face and his kind and gentle smile, which was completely different from the fierce and ruthless face Zhou Yuan wore when facing the Fire Pavilion. From his expression, Mu Liu knew that he didn’t just say that to be polite.
Zhou Yuan really did think so.
A smile crossed Mu Liu’s clean and handsome face. “You’ve made a friend.”
“When you agreed to work with me, we were already friends.”
Zhou Yuan smiled, but didn’t say much. “Let’s not waste time, and go collect the Heavenly Sun Flames. Here will be the dividing line, and we will each have half of the area. What do you think?”
Mu Liu naturally had no objection.
Zhou Yuan turned around and left with the people of the Wind Pavilion to collect the Heavenly Sun Flames as they retreated.
“Yes, I was too skeptical of his sincerity.”
Mu Qingyan gave him an angry stare, but she was surprised by Zhou Yuan’s action. It was no wonder that even Mu Liu, so proud and almost reclusive, would choose to take such a huge risk to cooperate with Zhou Yuan despite only meeting him a few times.
“Let’s start too. Although Zhou Yuan doesn’t mind, I don’t like to take advantage of people. So, after we have collected all the Heavenly Sun Flames, we will take out another 100,000 fire lotuses for the Wind Pavilion,” Mu Liu ordered.
Mu Qingyan nodded. In the past, 100,000 fire lotuses would have been almost all their harvest, but this time it was different. After driving away the Fire and Mountain Pavilions, their harvest was significantly more than before, and they could easily take out 100,000 fire lotuses.
Therefore, she didn’t object. With a wave of her small hand, she led the members of the Forest Pavilion to collect Heavenly Sun Flames.
