Chapter 782 Senior Sister Chi Jing (2/2)
Chi Jing knitted her slender brows slightly, saying, “There is no need for an investigation, but Zhou Yuan is new here so some might not be happy if he immediately serves as deputy commander. He can temporarily be accepted as a member of Wind Pavilion first. If he garners enough achievements in the future, he will have an opportunity to be promoted.”
Both sides looked relieved at the same time but also a little disappointed.
Yi Yan and Yi Qiushui were glad that Zhou Yuan could finally be accepted into the Wind Pavilion, but they were disappointed that he was only an ordinary pavilion member, which was far from the position of deputy commander.
On the other hand, although Gu Yan was disappointed that he couldn’t deal with Zhou Yuan directly, he could accept the fact that Zhou Yuan only became an ordinary member, because it wouldn’t be difficult for them to make things difficult for an ordinary member of the Wind Pavilion.
Gu Xi, who was behind Gu Yan, stared at Zhou Yuan with malice, sneering coldly to himself, Don’t think that we can’t do anything to you after you enter the Wind Pavilion.
Both Yi Yan and Gu Yan were silent for a good while, and in the end, neither of them objected, because they both knew that Chi Jing was experienced with handling affairs. She had made both of them take a step back and had also listened to the initial demands of both sides. It would be insensible for them to make another request.
Let alone Yi Yan, even the hall master of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, Gu Yan, wouldn’t dare to anger Chi Jing.
Seeing that things were settled and that Chi Jing seemed to want to ask everyone to leave, Zhou Yuan suddenly became anxious. If he didn’t make good use of this chance, he might not be able to see Chi Jing again.
Immediately, he took a large step forward and spoke in a loud and clear voice: “Lady Chi Jing, I think I am competent enough for the position of deputy commander.”
Even Yi Yan’s expression changed abruptly when he heard this. “Disrespectful!”
How could Zhou Yuan recommend himself on such an occasion! If he angered Lady Chi Jing, he might even lose the opportunity to join the Wind Pavilion.
He worriedly looked at Chi Jing and, as expected, saw that she was frowning at the shameless Zhou Yuan.
Gu Yan couldn’t help bursting into laughter, “This kid doesn’t know the immensity of the sky. If he is allowed to join the Wind Pavilion, he will only drag down the young talents of the Tianyuan Region.
“I beseech Lady Chi Jing to expel him from Tianyuan Utopia!”
Yi Yan hurriedly explained, “Lady Chi Jing, Zhou Yuan didn’t intend to offend.”
Seeing that Chi Jing was about to speak, Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and secretly activated the Primal Chaos Divine Grindstone Visualisation Method.
Chi Jing’s face darkened slightly. She was indeed somewhat unhappy with Zhou Yuan’s behaviour because she was already protecting him with her decisions. She initially planned to promote Zhou Yuan in the future if he performed well. At that time, nobody could say anything or oppose him, but Zhou Yuan’s forced self-recommendation seemed too ill mannered.
So she planned to give him a little punishment.
“Impudence,” she said in a lower-pitched voice.
Yi Yan knew that Chi Jing had indeed been somewhat angered.
However, just as she was about to continue, she suddenly saw a flash between Zhou Yuan’s brows. She then felt something that made her body suddenly stiffen.
She immediately halted the words that were at the tip of her tongue, even biting her tongue in the process.
Pain and shock simultaneously appeared in her heart. At this moment, even someone like Chi Jing had a blank expression on her face. She then suddenly slammed her palms against the documents.
Bang!
“You-
“You-”
Chi Jing’s eyes went wide.
Yi Qiushui clenched her hands tight, panic rising within her.
Was Lady Chi Jing furious?
Just as everybody was waiting for Chi Jing to erupt in rage, she finally calmed her emotions. Her voice sounded.
“You, you’re not bad! I admire you!
“You’ll be the deputy pavilion master of the Wind Pavilion!”
