Chapter 193.1: They Shut Themselves Off
Twilight had long noticed Qi Yuan repeatedly blinking at him and found the behavior puzzling.
Seeing his confusion, Qi Yuan sighed. "Aah, how I wish the hundred flowers would bloom... Oh, and how nice it would be to get the treasures as well."
In truth, he cared far less about the flowers than the reward. Ye Liuyun's two supreme treasures almost made him drool. Qi Yuan even felt a little resentful. Why hadn't Golden Dragon gotten them instead?
Twilight finally grasped what Qi Yuan was hinting at. Half amused and half exasperated, he stepped forward. "I've heard Qiyuann Sovereign's talent for visualization is peerless. Why not give it a try? Perhaps you can make the flowers bloom."
Everyone's attention shifted toward Qi Yuan at once. The ancient gods were deeply curious about the mysterious figure shrouded in obscurity.
The palace master lit up, openly gazing at Qi Yuan with anticipation.
"But none of the gods I know are acquainted with Great Venerable Qionghua," Qi Yuan said honestly, sweeping his gaze across the crowd. "If I fail, you won't laugh at me, will you?"
The ancient gods waved their hands in response.
"Of course not!"
"It'll be nice if you succeed, but failure isn't shameful. Why would we mock you?"
"Qiyuann Sovereign, feel free to try! I'll be the first to deal with whoever dares gossip."
They were remarkably warm and encouraging.
