Chapter 1607: Refres.h.i.+ng Ones Worldview (2)

The Four Vajras flew into the flying chariot before it turned around and disappeared into the southern horizon with creaking sounds.

After conveying Lu Zhous message, one of the Vajras said, This Xuanyi Palace dares to trample on our dignity! We must s.n.a.t.c.h it back the next time we meet!

No, no, I wont do it, Mings.h.i.+ Yin said as he shook his head.

One of the Vajras protested, Mr. Ri, he even said those words! Insulting you is like insulting the Scarlet Emperor!

Insulting? Mings.h.i.+ Yin cleared his throat and said, Its fine for him to insult me. Hes right. However, how is it insulting the Scarlet Emperor? Anyway, its a small matter. Ill apologize next time.

???

A Vajra said, confused, Mr. Ri, this isnt like you. Shouldnt you seek revenge?

Lets talk about this another time. Im going to take a nap now.

In the northern Dao hall of Southern Split Mountain.

Xuanyi said with a smile, Pavilion Master Lu is truly capable. With just a small move, youre able to make the other party flee in panic.

At this time, the injured cultivators from Xuanyi Palace flew back with embarra.s.sed expressions on their faces.

Meanwhile, Nan Li was in a daze; he had yet to recover from his shock. He found it difficult to accept the reality before him. When did he make a move? I did not see anything at all.

Those two brats are still wet behind the ears, Lu Zhou said.

You have a point. Xuanyi nodded tactfully. Then, he turned around and reprimanded Zhang He lightly.

However, Zhang He did not come up with any excuses. Instead, he said, That spear user is fierce and overbearing. He indeed exceeded my expectations. As for the Bluewood user, he really caught me off guard. Today, I wholeheartedly admit defeat.

Are you willing to give up the position of commander? Xuanyi asked.

Zhang He was stunned. Although he was unwilling, he thought he would still lose in the official compet.i.tion later on. He might even lose more miserably. Hence, he fell to the ground and said, Im willing to give up my position.

Oh? Xuanyi did not expect Zhang He to be so open-minded and magnanimous.

Zhang He continued to say, Although I acknowledge their strength, I disagree with their questionable characters.

Questionable characters?

I intended to have a friendly sparring session, but they repeatedly insulted me and Xuanyi Palace. This is a great disrespect. Its really unfortunate that the Great Void Seeds fell into their hands, Zhang He said.

Lu Zhou frowned slightly. These words were slightly unpleasant to the ears. It was like how only parents could criticize their children; they would feel uncomfortable if outsiders were to criticize their children.

I dont know if their characters are questionable, but youre gossiping behind their backs now. What qualifications do you have to talk about character? Lu Zhou asked.

This Zhang He lowered his head, ashamed. Then, after thinking for a moment, he said, Your Majesty, Im willing to give up my position, but I want to give it to Pavilion Master Lu.

Nan Li said, surprised, Youre talking about the position of Commander of Xuanyi Palace. Arent you being too hasty?

Xuan Li frowned. Nonsense. The position of commander is very important; how can it be given away so easily? Pavilion Master Lu has just joined Xuanyi Palace so its not suitable for him to be commander. Otherwise, members of Xuanyi Palace will gossip about favoritisms. How can we win the hearts of the ma.s.ses then?

Zhang Hes heart was moved. His Majesty still thinks highly of me!

Xuanyi glanced at Lu Zhou from the corners of his eyes and thought to himself, I hope teacher wont be angry. Isnt such a low position an insult to him?

Nan Li said, I think Pavilion Master Lu is very suitable to become the Commander of Xuanyi Palace.

Xuanyi decisively changed the topic and said, Nan Li, I remember you and Pavilion Master Lu made a bet, right?

A bet?

Are you going to renege on your promise? Xuanyi asked with a smile.

Nan Li revealed an embarra.s.sed expression. Seeing that everyone was staring at him, he could only sigh and say, Its not that I want to renege on my promise. However, the southern true fire isnt something humans are a match for. If I give it to you, Ill only be harming you. Pavilion Master Lu, why dont you give up?

Humans were like this sometimes. They might not value some things, and yet, they still refused to give them to others.

Lu Zhou said, I hope youll keep your promise.

This

I hate people who renege on their promise the most, Lu Zhou said.

With these words, there was no room for negotiation.

Xuanyi sighed and said, Divine Lord Nan Li, although we have a good relations.h.i.+p, you indeed made a bet. Hence, I cant speak for you.

Nan Lis eyelids twitched. Why does it feel like hes acting?

Indeed, Nan Li and Xuanyi did not only know each other for a day or two. In fact, the duo could be considered good friends in the Great Void. Nonetheless, Xuanyi had never said such words until today.

Nan Li sighed. Alright. However, let me be clear. If something happens, you cant blame it on Southern Split Mountain.

Xuanyi looked at Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou said, Dont worry. I never blame others for my actions.

Alright.

Nan Li rose to his feet and gestured to the left. Please.

Lu Zhou and Xuanyi rose to their feet in unison.

With that, the trio flew toward a mountain in the north with Nan Li flying in the lead.
