Chapter 781 Tianyuan Utopia (2/2)
A huge floating island appeared in front of Zhou Yuan.
Compared with the previous floating islands that were filled with people, these islands appeared to be much quieter, and their defenses were much stronger. It was obvious that the people who resided here were high-level figures of the Tianyuan Region.
But under Yi Qiushui’s leadership, there wasn’t any obstruction along the way, and they eventually landed outside a secluded manor on the east of the island.
At the gate of the manor stood a black-clad old man with hands clasped behind his back. He looked at the three people who had just landed with a kind smile.
“Grandfather!”
Yi Qiushui leapt over with joy when she saw the old man in black.
The old man smiled and grasped Yi Qiushui’s little hand. “My little Qiushui is now a Prefecture Lord.”
Yi Qiushui’s eyes welled up and turned red. She sobbed, “Father, he...”
A trace of sadness glimmered within the old man’s eyes, which he forcibly suppressed. He gently stroked Yi Qiushui’s hair to comfort her.
It was after a long while that Yi Qiushui finally suppressed the sadness in her heart, and seeing that Zhou Yuan was standing quietly behind her, she quickly introduced him, “Zhou Yuan, this is my grandfather.”
“Zhou Yuan pays respect to elder,” Zhou Yuan said respectfully. On the way here, Yi Qiushui had already told him that her grandfather’s name was Yi Yan and that he was the most important person from the Yi clan. He occupied a position in the Tianyuan Region’s Elder Committee and was a top expert of the Nascent Source stage. He could be said to be an influential and powerful figure of the entire Tianyuan Region.
Yi Yan gave a friendly nod and smile to Zhou Yuan. “You don’t need to be so polite. It was all because of you that the Yi clan could win the Xiaoxuan Prefecture Lord position.”
“It was also because we had you to take care of things within the Tianyuan Utopia, elder brother.” Yi Qianji smiled. ”
Yi Yan shook his head. “The Qiu clan has also been operating in the Tianyuan Utopia, and they have even obtained the support of the Heavenly Spirit Sect. If you hadn’t won beautifully, I wouldn’t have been able to push forward the proposal.”
He turned to Zhou Yuan, saying, “I have already received information about your matters. I have reported to Lady Chi Jing, and hopefully, I will be able to find a position of deputy commander in the Wind Pavilion for you.”
Yi Qiushui lit up with surprise. “Is it the Wind Pavilion of the four pavilions: Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain?”
After she saw Yi Yan nodded, she hurriedly explained to Zhou Yuan, “The Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain Pavilions were set up by the supreme sovereign Cang Yuan. They bring together all the outstanding people of the younger generation in the Tianyuan Region, and it is an honour to enter one of the four pavilions.
“Even the top clans, including the Heavenly Spirit Sect, the White Clan, the Profound Crystal Clan and the Wood clan, let their younger generation into the four pavilions for training. This greatly shows their importance.
“The four pavilions of Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain can be said to be the blood of the future of the Tianyuan Region.
“Each pavilion is divided into the rankings of ordinary members, captains, chief and deputy commanders, deputy pavilion masters and pavilion master. The position that Grandfather asked for you is deputy commander. You should know that the majority of the present deputy commanders of the four pavilions are ranked on the Divine Dwelling List!
“If you are chosen, you will have a promising future!”
Yi Qiushui spoke excitedly without stopping, but seeing that Zhou Yuan still had the same blank, expressionless face, she said helplessly, “The deputy commander can receive one hundred high-grade Divine Dwelling medicines every month.”
Zhou Yuan’s face instantly lit up. “That many?”
He was only able to earn one hundred Divine Dwelling medicines after helping the Yi clan, but the deputy commander could receive so much every month. This salary wasn’t low.
Yi Qiushui said snappily, “After entering the Wind Pavilion, the gift of a bright future is the most important thing. How can Divine Dwelling medicines compare to that?”
Yi Yan smiled. “The Wind Pavilion’s pavilion master position has been vacant for a while, and there are only three deputy pavilion master positions. If you can get in, the Heavenly Spirit Sect won’t dare to do anything to you blatantly.”
Zhou Yuan immediately expressed his gratitude.
“It’s not decided yet, you don’t have to thank me now.” Yi Yan waved his hand. Looking at Zhou Yuan, he sighed, “That’s all I can do. Lady Chi Jing always sticks to principles. If you aren’t capable enough, there’s also nothing I can do.”
He lifted his palm, and a carriage descended from the sky, pulled by a winged white lion. The lion exuded powerful Genesis Qi and was clearly a grade-five Genesis beast. It emitted a ferocious aura.
After a pause, he shook his head.
Yi Qiushui also tensed up. She knew that if Zhou Yuan couldn’t catch the attention of Lady Chi Jing, he would miss a really good opportunity.
After all, it was incredibly difficult for an ordinary cultivator with no background to enter the Wind Pavilion as a deputy commander.
Although Zhou Yuan was talented, given Lady Chi Jing’s identity and status, she most likely had seen too many super heaven prides already…
