Chapter 167 - 165: Mr. Wuya Jealous, Sky Pole Sect Trembles Thrice
Dongfang Wuya watched Zuo An with cold eyes. Under his scrutiny, Zuo An showed no hint of unease and spoke in a low voice, "We also need to choose an elder to lead the team. Wuya, who do you think we should select?"
With one glance, Dongfang Wuya saw through the game Zuo An was playing. Even though he knew it was a trap set by Zuo An, he had to walk into it, simply because he couldn’t rest easy allowing Shen Qinghe to be alone with Yan Changsheng and Xiao Chen.
He sneered with a curl of his lip, "Who do you think is best suited to lead?"
Zuo An responded with a smile that reached his eyes, "If we’re judging by appearance, you’re the most handsome. If we’re talking about cultivation base, you’re the deepest. If you were to lead, our Sky Pole Sect wouldn’t even need to participate in the competition; we’d outshine the other Immortal Sects right away."
Dongfang Wuya’s deep, peach blossom eyes half-closed, "You have quite the scheme up your sleeve."
"I respect your thoughts and know you prefer quietude. If you’re unwilling, then let’s reluctantly ask Elder Wang to lead the team," Zuo An compliantly offered.
Dongfang Wuya was so frustrated he could nearly laugh.
How could he maintain his detached stance when Zuo An was roasting him over the flames?
And yet, he knew this was Zuo An’s machination and could do nothing about it; he still had to follow Zuo An’s script, the thought itself was suffocating.
"Wuya, I know what you’re thinking. Letting these four young people set an example this time was well-intended on my part; I wanted to give the youth more opportunities to forge themselves. The Sky Pole Sect has been besieged by misfortunes in recent years, and now we’re relying on these younger disciples to quickly stand tall. Although Qinghe has only reached Core Formation, she has a magical treasure to protect her. If you don’t accompany her, she should be safe..."
At this point, Zuo An deliberately paused for a moment, "Of course, if you were to assist, this competition would surely make the Sky Pole Sect disciples renowned throughout the world."
