Chapters... 66: City Tournament... 9 (Easy Match)
Tok tok...
"Can you open it for a second?" Zhou Yin knocked on Zhou Fan's room door again.
Inside the room Zhou Fan sighed, then opened the door lazily.
Zhou Fan looked at Zhou Yin from top to bottom.
"Why are you looking for me?" seeing the girl before him so regretful, Zhou Fan seemed to forget the words he had said before.
"Can we be like we used to be?" Zhou Yin asked with glassy eyes.
"You know the answer, you asked me to stay away from you. You forgot about our relationship when I couldn't show that I could cultivate." Zhou Fan smiled bitterly.
Zhou Yin looked down even more considering his treatment, he knew that what he was doing was wrong, but hearing Zhou Fan say it directly made his guilt many times greater.
"Now you easily say 'can we be like we used to be?', heh. What say?" Zhou Fan turned his head around to look at Zhou Yin.
Even a fool would not forget so easily the bitter memories of his life.
"I'm sorry..," Zhou Yin's great-granddaughter softly, so quietly, that Zhou fan could barely hear her.
Zhou Fan sighed then scratched his temple.
"Hufftt, you know, I never blame anyone for putting me down. I want to thank them for making me what I am today." Zhou Fan clenched his hands.
"If I hadn't gotten any insults I would never have dared to take risks. And also I've forgiven you, but to return to what it used to be.." Zhou Fan looked at Zhou Yin, then shook his head slowly.
"That's never gonna happen. Just walk around like you're still looking at me as a piece of trash, I'm used to it." Zhou Fan said his point very clearly.
Zhou Yin's originally bright face after hearing Zhou Fan forgive him, again put on a sad face when he heard the young man's last sentence.
"Why? was.." when going to ask the young man's reason confidently that they wouldn't be what they used to be.
"I already have someone who has been waiting for my arrival," Zhou Fan said quickly.
Somebody? did Zhou Fan have a lover?
Finally Zhou Yin left after getting what he wanted, although a little sad not to be able to return like he used to be, he thought that was enough, hearing Zhou Fan had forgiven him his heart was a little calm.
The shadow of someone Zhou Fan said continued to imprint on Zhou Yin's mind, the girl returned to her room carrying the burden of thought with her.
The morning came so quickly....
The black stone city tournament had selected the 16 participants who would compete today. All of them were participants who had escaped the previous round.
Zhou Fan, that was the name of the young man who was now being warmly talked about, a man who had never been predicted to be a champion candidate, but showed his capacity as a tough fighter.
Everyone had witnessed how the young man had defeated his enemy by using only his aura alone, even Zhou Han, Shui Hen, had, or Ling Chen who was believed to be the top three participants would not be able to do so.
The mention of garbage that always stuck to his back was gone as if it never existed, now Zhou Fan got a new nickname. 'Black horse'
"Zhou Fan!!"
As his name was mentioned, Zhou Fan quickly climbed to the top of the arena. And wait for his opponent with an impatient face.
Cui Ke's!
A young man came forward with a cold sweaty body, the curly-haired young man continued to put on an awkward smile directed at Zhou Fan.
Arriving in front of Zhou Fan, Cui Ke did not immediately attack or just prepare, and it made some people curious.
Including Zhou Fan, he scrunched his forehead, "What are you doing?"
"I.... I surrender!" Cui Ke raised his hand up, while turning towards the jury.
Huh uh? Zhou Fan was surprised not to play, this was the match he was waiting for, but his opponent easily said give up. Exorbitant!
In this match he did not get resistance from his opponent, he was declared victorious when his opponent had just entered the arena.
"Sister Fan," Call someone when Zhou Fan is about to leave the tournament.
Zhou Fan stopped his steps, and looked for someone who called out to him.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Fan asked back nonchalantly.
Although Zhou Fan had already said forgive him, he would not forget that quickly the attitude and behavior of the girl to him.
Zhou Yin was stunned, he realized that he was the one who caused all this, and he deserved it.
Zhou Yin shook his head, then stepped away with a disheveled-looking face.
"Hmm?!" Zhou Fan knitted his brows, he did not understand the girl's way of thinking.
Zhou Fan flicked his shoulders then drove away without caring for everyone's gaze.
Zhou Yin looked at Zhou Fan's departure who seemed to care little for him.
Implied regret at Zhou Yin's expression.
****
I don't think the tournament has reached its peak...
The black stone city tournament left only four generations of young, as everyone predicted, a dark horse along with the three geniuses of each of the great clans would be the participants that qualified for the round.
Zhou Hu who was sitting in his seat smiled at how his son was doing, it was inevitable that he was so proud of Zhou fan. He had not expected his son to be what he was now after all this time they hoped.
"Qian'er, if you had seen him firsthand how your son began to record the path of his cultivator, you would have been very proud as well" he muttered in memory of his wife who was in his residence.
"Fifth elder?!" call the third elder who happens to be beside his seat.
"Hmmm..." Zhou Hu turned his head with a face that still looked pleased.
"You see! they again looked familiar." exclaimed the third elder as he pointed towards Zhou fan and Zhou yin who looked cool chatting.
"Hey..." Zhou Hu only muttered, he knew the third elder not only wanted to say that, he was waiting for further explanation from the person he already considered the brother.
"They look good, don't you want to continue our pending wish?" Speak the third elder.
Zhou Hu who had previously not paid much attention to who the third elder was referring to, frowned then turned his head towards which the third elder's hand was pointing.
He glared his eyes at the sight of his son being engrossed in talking to Zhou Yin.
To his surprise, since when did they get back close? should the daughter of the third elder always cold and even look dislike towards his son, why is it now far reversed? thought Zhou Hu
But the truth was, Zhou Fan did not talk to Zhou Yin, it was just that the girl kept clinging to him, whereas Zhou Fan seemed indifferent to Zhou Yin.
Zhou Yin who had been ignored by Zhou Fan began to whine.
"Sister Fan...?"
Huff...
"What do you want? I'm the clan scum, everyone insulted me, why do you want me to think of you so much when you didn't do the same to me back then...,"
"Why have you changed?" Zhou Yin involuntarily asked.
"Heh... It's not me who changed but you." Zhou Fan said indifferently.
"I'm a piece of trash, don't deserve to be with you genius, don't waste your precious time just taking care of trash like me." Every word Zhou Fan let out was like a heart-wrenching dagger.
"I...." Zhou Yin could not say, his face lowered in embarrassment at his attitude all along.
"Then, sorry.... For interrupting your precious time." Zhou Yin left with a sedu face.
Zhou Fan did not care about it, he preferred to close his eyes, while waiting for his match.
