Chapter 401: Chapter 401: Disappointnt
Upper Scenic Celestial, Naless Mountain Peak.
As the first ray of morning sunlight illuminated the peak, Zhang Yuan, sitting cross-legged on the rocky mountaintop, suddenly opened his eyes.
His eyes reflected the morning light, as if they held the endless sky.
The pure True Essence circulated endlessly within the ridians, silently nourishing the internal organs and limbs and bones, opening all the acupoints in his body, creating a harmonious resonance between the Great Cycle of Heaven within him and the surrounding nature.
At that mont, Zhang Yuan faintly touched the threshold of a higher level of the "Primordial Celestial Spirit True thod."
He closed his eyes again, his breathing becoming extrely long.
Returning to a ditative state.
Since he began cultivating in the Upper Scenic Celestial, every windless and rainless morning, Zhang Yuan would co here to train.
The Upper Scenic Celestial is one of the Daoist Ancestral Courts, possessing the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land Secret Realm, where the cultivation speed is faster than other places, and it’s easier to comprehend the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man.
Half an hour later, Zhang Yuan finished his cultivation and gracefully descended the peak.
When he arrived at the Martial Pavilion rit Hall, it was already bustling and lively inside.
The Upper Scenic Celestial Martial Pavilion gathered a large number of Martial Artists from different places inside and outside Daqian, with varied identities, but because of Mo Yuan’s presence, few were solitary.
Most were in groups of three or five, with their own circles and teams.
Zhang Yuan stood out quite a bit among them.
Not only that, but many also deliberately kept their distance from him, even tacitly ostracizing him.
As Zhang Yuan passed by, several people chatting imdiately stopped talking, looking at him with indifferent eyes.
This situation had arisen in the past few days.
After Zhang Yuan refused to et with Xiao Yan!
Zhang Yuan hadn’t expected that this Celestial-Human Royal Family mber could wield such influence in the Martial Pavilion, even isolating him from a large group.
Of course, many people rely watched from the sidelines without getting involved.
Nevertheless, his troubleso situation in the Martial Pavilion was an undeniable fact.
But to Zhang Yuan, it was rely a minor inconvenience.
He didn’t need to socialize or join a group for warmth, nor did he need soone to form a team to explore Mo Yuan.
Standing tall and firm without desires, unless Xiao Yan dared to violate the rules of Upper Scenic Celestial, trying to make Zhang Yuan submit with such ans was a colossal joke.
Zhang Yuan ignored these people, ascending the stairs straight to the third floor.
The Dharma Transmission Elders in the Martial Pavilion only recognized Daoist rit; as long as he had Daoist rit, he could receive their careful guidance.
He didn’t have to pay attention to anyone else’s attitude!
Unexpectedly, when Zhang Yuan finished today’s learning and returned to the first floor, he was suddenly blocked by Xiao Hong.
"Junior Brother Zhang, can we talk for a mont?"
This Tier Five expert’s tone carried a hint of anxiety, and his overall deanor seed sowhat abnormal.
Zhang Yuan gave him a deep look, nodded, and replied: "Alright."
They sat down at a nearby elegant seat.
Xiao Hong couldn’t wait to say: "Junior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Xiao Yan heard about your situation and appreciates you very much. Why won’t you give him face?"
Zhang Yuan smiled and aningfully retorted: "Senior Brother Xiao, I am unfamiliar with Xiao Yan and have no desire to get involved with Black Dragon Pool. I ask nothing of him, so why should I give face?"
If Xiao Yan personally invited Zhang Yuan, he would, even if refusing, ensure he saved the other’s face.
After all, he wasn’t a "fate-defying" youth antagonizing everyone he t.
But previously, Xiao Yan sent a subordinate, arrogantly demanding Zhang Yuan to go, with a very dismissive attitude.
Zhang Yuan wasn’t about to flatter him out of idle boredom!
Now seeing Xiao Hong coming as a ssenger, Zhang Yuan felt quite disappointed.
Because he initially thought Xiao Hong was a courageous and wise hero, but evidently, he misjudged.
Currently sitting opposite Zhang Yuan, Xiao Hong’s mindset was clearly troubled.
Say what you will, Xiao Yan was indeed formidable; in just a few days, he’d managed to turn Xiao Hong into this!
Faced with Zhang Yuan’s retort, Xiao Hong was speechless.
He clearly realized his mindset was wrong, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Junior Brother Zhang, have you noticed that recently everyone has been keeping a distance from you?"
"To mix well in the Martial Pavilion, there are indeed so people you shouldn’t offend!"
Xiao Hong felt he was earnestly advising him and was quite helpless.
After joining under Xiao Yan’s wing with Chen Ziyi and Zhang Feihu, Xiao Yan’s attitude changed significantly.
This Celestial-Human Royal Family mber was quite displeased with Xiao Hong only bringing two team mbers.
After understanding the situation, he beca more indifferent.
The so-called cooperation turned into a joke.
But Xiao Hong dared not break ties, only forcing himself to play a nial role in Xiao Yan’s team.
This made Chen Ziyi very dissatisfied.
Feeling deceived.
Today, Xiao Yan sent Xiao Hong again to bring Zhang Yuan over.
His heart was troubled, and his mindset naturally beca unbalanced.
"Doesn’t matter anymore."
Zhang Yuan said calmly: "Xiao Yan is strong, but is he stronger than Celestial Beings?"
Even Celestial Beings dare not act recklessly in Upper Scenic Celestial, let alone a royal family mber!
Xiao Hong finally truly understood.
Zhang Yuan genuinely wasn’t afraid of Xiao Yan, and even felt a slight contempt.
He paused for a mont, nodded, and said: "Well, take care of yourself then."
This Tier Five expert left quite forlorn.
Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but shake his head.
Though Zhang Yuan didn’t know exactly what the other had experienced, it was surely unpleasant, perhaps even humiliating.
Xiao Hong had undoubtedly made a blunder!
But it had nothing to do with him.
"Excuse , are you Zhang Yuan, Senior Brother Zhang?"
Just as Zhang Yuan was about to get up and leave, a little Daoist Child, like a carved jade, hopped over to him, blinking big dark eyes and asked.
Zhang Yuan was montarily taken aback: "Yes, who are you?"
There are many Daoist Children in Upper Scenic Celestial, so as young as four or five.
But they’re rare in the Martial Pavilion.
In Zhang Yuan’s mory, this Daoist Child didn’t exist.
"This is sothing soone asked
to give you."
After receiving Zhang Yuan’s confirmation, the little Daoist Child promptly took out a letter from his chest and handed it to him.
Zhang Yuan reached out to take it: "Thank you."
He was very curious—who would write him a letter?
To his knowledge, Zhang Yuan had few acquaintances in Upper Scenic Celestial, and he’d already parted ways with Xiao Hong’s group.
Before opening the letter, Zhang Yuan sensed sothing strange.
The letter-delivering Daoist Child didn’t leave; instead, he looked expectantly at him!
Zhang Yuan paused, then chuckled quietly.
Little fellow wanted a delivery fee, huh!
Was this considered cash on delivery?
Silently teasing in his mind, he took out a beast tooth from his chest—actually the storage space—and handed it to the child.
This beast tooth was obtained by Zhang Yuan from slaying an Exotic Beast, but couldn’t be exchanged for Daoist rit.
Thus, he kept it as a plaything.
Now, it could be used as a reward!
