Yuan Zun: The Ancestral Dragon

After Su Youwei finished cleaning up and wrapping Zhou Yuan's knuckle. Zhou Yuan lovingly patted her head, and subsequently, he lifted Su Youwei's fair hand and placed it on her palm.

"Don't take this wrongly, I am not giving but lending this to you. I have yet to open any meridian channels and can't make use of it for now." Zhou Yuan immediately said when he saw that Su Youwei was about to reject it.

When Su Youwei heard Zhou Yuan's words, she swallowed the words that were about to exit her mouth before giving him a glare(which didn't have any effect but it did make her look more adorable). 'This fellow, how could he say it in such a manner!'

"I'm leaving!" Su Youwei kept the Genesis Gathering Jade and with a soft snort, she brushed past Zhou Yuan with a red face.

"So stubborn yet adorable.."

Zhou Yuan watched the graceful and slim figure of the girl as she departed and shook his head. Just as he was also about to leave, he decided to greet the rat who was watching him from the start till now.

He raised his head and looked towards a building in the distance, his sharp and narrowed eyes gave the feeling of oppression to the figure in white who was currently looking back at him with some caution in his eyes.

The figure in white was the heir of Qi Manor, Qi Yue.

A slight smile surfaced on Qi Yue's face when he felt Zhou Yuan's gaze as he cupped his hands for a greeting, which was not acknowledged by Zhou Yuan as he just kept staring at him, which caused Qi Yue to sweat a little.

Just when he was about to open his mouth and openly greet him, Zhou Yuan turned around and left with a smirk on his face.

As Qi Yue watched Zhou Yuan's leaving figure, his face turned ugly, "It would seem that the crippled Dragon of Zhou Clan has become much more arrogant, although it is surprising that he gained proficiency in the Dao of Genesis Runes".

A pretty figure walked out behind Qi Yue. It was a tall and slender girl whose looks were also very beautiful. The only flaw was her slightly thin lips which made her look a little unkind. Compared to Su Youwei, the former did lack some charm.

She disdainfully glanced in the direction Zhou Yuan had left in as she coldly snorted, "He is just a one trick Pony, he took advantage of the surprise to beat down that kid, and Genesis Runes are after all a side path. No matter how great one's attainments, one would still be unable to transform oneself and there will remain a limit to one's lifespan. Carelessness might even result in being killed by an ordinary person."

She was known as Liu Xi and her father was a marquis of Great Zhou. People called him Marquis Liu, and he was naturally one of the big shots. On this topic, there could be said to be some relation of sorts between Liu Xi and Zhou Yuan.

Several years ago, Zhou Qing became aware of how powerful Qi Manor was growing. To keep them in check, he planned to place a 'weight' on Marquis Liu. Thus, Zhou Qing proposed a marriage between their factions; he intended for Zhou Yuan and Marquis Liu's daughter, Liu Xi, to be married and strengthen the ties between the two clans.

Marquis Liu was somewhat hesitant about Zhou Qing's proposal. After all, the royal family of Great Zhou was in decline and the sole successor, Zhou Yuan, was unable to open his meridian channels. In addition, Marquis Liu was extremely doting on Liu Xi and thus asked her about her thoughts. Liu Xi was an extremely proud girl and felt that Zhou Yuan was merely a crippled prince. Hence, she rejected the proposal without any hesitation and even spread the word that his highness was a toad that wanted to dine on a swan's meat. It even became a popular joke back then.

Upon seeing her response, Marquis Liu used it as a reason to reject Zhou Qing.

Although this matter had occurred long ago, Liu Xi naturally felt a little uncomfortable in her heart when she now saw how handsome Zhou Yuan had become, the same Zhou Yuan whom she had once called a toad.

Qi Yue laughed and nodded upon hearing her words. "The highly ranked students partaking in this newcomer exam have already cast their lot in with me. If our prince Zhou Yuan believes that he will be able to make it through with just some tricks and his teensy bit of proficiency in Genesis Runes, I will make him lose all face."

At this point, he paused as his eyes narrowed. "However, Su Youwei's talent is indeed astonishing, and her prospects are very bright. If there is a chance, we need to do all we can to pull her over to our side."

A look of unhappiness flitted across Liu Xi's face when she heard these words. She frowned and replied, "She is merely a lowly lass who has opened three meridian channels. If we cannot win her over, we should find an opportunity to cripple her."

Liu Xi was of a noble family and was also very talented. In the past, she was undoubtedly the most dazzling pearl in the Great Zhou Institute. However, ever since Su Youwei's appearance, the former's radiance had been suppressed. This undoubtedly caused Liu Xi to find this commoner girl Su Youwei extremely distasteful.

Qi Yue was naturally able to hear Liu Xi's dislike for Su Youwei. He chuckled and did not speak about it. Instead, he merely stared at Zhou Yuan's disappearing figure.

"Looks like this Zhou Yuan no longer has any confidence in himself. That is why he intends to support a genius to rely on in the future…"

"Zhou Yuan ah Zhou Yuan. The sacred dragon of the Zhou clan has truly become a crippled dragon."

"Since that is so, your Zhou clan is going to be done for."
