Chapter 814 The Pavilion Master Selection (1/2)
The Wind Pavilion was currently considered the focal point of the four pavilions, and of course the reason wasn’t because of how much attention was focused upon the Wind Pavilion but simply because the Wind Pavilion’s pavilion master selection was being held today, and this was a grand event for any of the four pavilions.
And it was said that even Lady Chi Jing would personally attend the Wind Pavilion’s pavilion master selection. The event could not be said to be standard.
So when the news came out, not only were the other three pavilions gathered on the Wind Island, even people from the other floating islands in the Tianyuan Utopia flocked there. This undoubtedly made the Wind Pavilion, which was considered the weakest of the four pavilions, the focal point in the Tianyuan Utopia.
Northwest of Wind Island. A huge lake covered the ground like a mirror, and a floating bluestone platform was floating at its center. Around the platform, there were countless bare stone pillars like giant fingers breaking out of the water. The pillars were suddenly filled with crowds of people, which created a lively and buzzing atmosphere.
“The position of pavilion master has been vacant for many years. I didn’t expect a selection would finally be held today.”
“The Wind Pavilion really isn’t as good as it used to be. Now there are only three deputy pavilion masters. In the other three pavilions, there are no fewer than five deputy pavilion masters.”
“Chen Beifeng will certainly win. He is the oldest deputy pavilion master of the Wind Pavilion. He is very strong, and Ye Bingling is probably weaker than him.”
“What about Zhou Yuan?”
“Hey, he’s just a new deputy pavilion master with strength of the intermediate Divine Dwelling stage. But I hear it was Lady Chi Jing who had appointed him.”
“Nobody understands why Lady Chi Jing had done so. Could it be that she also has no hope for the Wind Pavilion?”
“It is said that Chen Beifeng is someone of the Heavenly Spirit Sect. If he were to win the pavilion master selection, wouldn’t that mean Lady Chi Jing would lose the Wind Pavilion?”
“--”
A lot of whispers could be heard as everybody studied the three figures standing in front of all the members of the Wind Pavilion. There was a hint of regret in their gazes.
At this time, in addition to the people of the Wind Pavilion, the members of the other three pavilions were also present at different locations.
On the Fire Pavilion’s side, Lu Xiao was standing tall at the front. His handsome face and extraordinary, imposing manner drew looks from many young beautiful women. There was no one in the Tianyuan Region who hadn’t heard of his name.
“That’s the kid who created the Mother Wind Rune?” Suddenly there was a voice beside him. Lu Xiao turned around to see a man in a black robe approaching him. He had ordinary features but always wore a gentle smile that made people feel close.
However, Lu Xiao knew that all this was just an illusion. How would someone who could become the pavilion master of the Mountain Pavilion be easy to get along with?
That’s right. This man was the pavilion master of the Mountain Pavilion, Han Yuan.
Han Yuan was also someone originally from the Wind Pavilion and was someone whom Lady Chi Jing thought highly of, but he had later joined the Profound Crystal clan and had become the pavilion master of the Mountain Pavilion.
In the Tianyuan Region, the Heavenly Spirit Sect, Profound Crystal Clan and the White Clan were considered allies, so Lu Xiao and Han Yuan were also acquainted.
So Lu Xiao slightly nodded. “A boy with his own thoughts. I wanted to recruit him but didn’t expect to be rejected.”
“He didn’t even give face to you? Is he crazy?” Han Yuan chuckled in surprise.
“No wonder Lady Chi Jing thinks highly of him,” Lu Xiao said nonchalantly.
When Chi Jing was mentioned, Han Yuan’s face turned a little unnatural, and he immediately remarked, “But if he has too many of his own thoughts and has no ability to support it, it’s not a good thing.”
He knew about Lu Xiao’s character too well. Since Zhou Yuan hadn’t given him face, he wouldn’t be polite to him.
“He is going to regret his actions, but unfortunately, in this world there isn’t any medicine for regret. You can only reap the fruits of your actions.” Lu Xiao smiled.
