"Gu Ling…"

　　Zhou Yuan's eyes rippled for a moment as he looked at the s.e.xy girl in black before him. However, almost no change could be detected on his face as he nodded and said in a calm voice, "Oh."

　　Gu Ling was a little taken aback by Zhou Yuan's indifference, but fury soon flashed in the depths of her eyes.

　　The group of guys behind Gu Ling were extremely dissatisfied with Zhou Yuan's att.i.tude, their tone hostile as they chided, "You're pretty darn arrogant kid, why are you still not begging for forgiveness after killing Gu Ling's brother?!"

　　The thug like way they spoke was rather inconsistent with their faint air of n.o.bility. Together with the strong Genesis Qi that rippled around their bodies, these characteristics made it painfully obvious that they were the so-called 'prided geniuses'.

　　Gu Ling revealed a heartbroken look at this moment as she softly said, "Don't be angry everyone, there must be some misunderstanding between our friend Zhou Yuan and my Gu clan which led to such an outcome. Gu Lang only has himself to blame for his death."

　　However, that appearance of hers only made them glare even harder at Zhou Yuan.

　　Zhou Yuan indifferently watched this scene play out as if he was a bystander. This girl's methods were superb. From the way she handed this group of geniuses, it was more than likely that they would fight to offer her the moon and the stars.

　　Xiao Tianxuan continued to rotate the golden b.a.l.l.s in his hand as looked towards Zhou Yuan and said in a gentle voice, "My friend, whatever grudge you guys have with the Gu clan is not important. Since you have already killed Gu Lang, let it end at that."

　　Zhou Yuan raised his eyebrows, but did not say anything. He knew that Xiao Tianxuan was not finished.

　　Sure enough, Xiao Tianxuan paused for a moment before continuing, "But the Gu clan's supreme treasure you stole should be returned to Gu Ling."

　　Xiao Tianxuan smiled slightly as he stared at Zhou Yuan. "Gu Ling has told me that as long as you return their supreme treasure, she will generously let bygones be bygones. If you feel that I am worthy, I can help resolve the grudge between the two of you and allow enemies to become friends."

　　Zhou Yuan could not help but laugh. These fellows were indeed after the Saint Spirit Crystal. However, it had already been a.s.similated by him, and now tempered his Spirit night and day. They were dreaming if they believed that he would hand it over.

　　Zhou Yuan smiled and asked, "Is that why you purposely raised the bid earlier?"

　　Xiao Tianxuan was momentarily stunned, but soon responded in an uninterested tone, "It's just a few Genesis crystals, I can repay you if you're upset."

　　A slight hint of mockery could be seen from the corners of his mouth, evidently secretly thinking how typical of a prince from a lowly remote empire to be so upset over a mere several hundred thousand Genesis crystals.

　　"No need, there may be a chance for me to get them back in the future." Zhou Yuan shook his head, his tone cool and calm.

　　Xiao Tianxuan may believe that his actions during the auction were just a little lesson for Zhou Yuan, but the latter's principle was that every action had a consequence.
