Chapter 1009 War Service Hall (1/2)
In the resting area, the Heavenly Sun experts’ expressions changed unnaturally when they saw Zhou Yuan. Although they had spoken disrespectfully about Zhou Yuan moments ago, Zhou Yuan’s status in the Tianyuan Region was undeniably high.
Even if he had declined the grand elder position, he was still supreme sovereign Cang Yuan’s official disciple.
Therefore, even the elders of the Tianyuan Region’s Elder Committee had to be polite to him, let alone Heavenly Sun experts. They could criticize Zhou Yuan in secret, but they wouldn’t dare to slight Zhou Yuan in front of him.
However, they had the pride of typical Heavenly Sun experts and didn’t want to reveal a trace of fear in front of Zhou Yuan. Therefore, they all stood tense, blankly watching Zhou Yuan as he approached, thinking about how they should respond to Zhou Yuan’s scolding.
Amidst their gazes, Zhou Yuan arrived at the resting area.
However, while the Heavenly Sun experts held their breath and waited to see how Zhou Yuan was going to get angry, Zhou Yuan didn’t even glance at them. Instead, Zhou Yuan waved to a table of people in the corner with a smile.
“Zhou Yuan!”
A surprised smile lit up Yi Qiushui’s face, and she, Ye Bingling and Mu Liu simultaneously sprang to their feet.
“You’re out? Did you break through?” Yi Qiushui asked curiously. She then immediately swept a glance over the Heavenly Sun experts wearing unnatural expressions in the resting area and whispered, “Just ignore them.”
It would affect Zhou Yuan’s reputation greatly if he got into a conflict with them.
Zhou Yuan smiled. He, of course, had no intention of explaining himself to them. Even if he had clearly heard their words, it wasn’t in his character to bring out his identity as supreme sovereign Cang Yuan’s disciple to oppress others.
Although their words were unpleasant to hear, they also risked their lives to fight for the Tianyuan Region.
In a way, perhaps, they were also fighting for the Ancestral Dragon Lantern.
Therefore, thinking about it in this way, Zhou Yuan didn’t intend to get angry at them because ultimately, they were simply ignorant and jealous of him.
Before Zhou Yuan said anything, a laugh sounded behind him. “Haha, little grand elder Zhou Yuan, everyone is under too much pressure and has drunk too much today, so they said the wrong thing. Please be the bigger person and don’t take offense.”
Zhou Yuan turned around and saw Li Qingyue, the former chief pavilion master.
As expected, every Heavenly Sun experts’ face reddened with anger. Be the bigger person? When we became well known in the Tianyuan Region, Zhou Yuan didn’t even exist yet! They made up their minds and decided that if Zhou Yuan dared to do anything to them, they would make a scene and see how he would clean up the mess!
Zhou Yuan cast a glance at the smiling Li Qingyue and said indifferently, “Just call me chief pavilion master. This is, after all, an unusual period, and the several grand elders are letting me keep the chief pavilion master position for a little longer. So, don’t call me little grand elder yet.”
Stung by Zhou Yuan’s words, Li Qingyue forced a smile, his face twitching visibly. “Chief pavilion master has such a good life. I didn’t think you could change the rules.”
There was undisguisable jealousy in his eyes. Back when he broke through to the Heavenly Sun stage, he was immediately removed from the chief pavilion master position and lost the high and mighty status similar to an elder’s. However, the rules changed when it was Zhou Yuan’s turn.
Zhou Yuan simply ignored him because he could tell that Li Qingyue had come to create trouble, and the best way to deal with people like him was to ignore them.
