Chapter 30 New Rules of Tianji Pavilion
Chapter 30 New Rules of Tianji Pavilion
As soon as the announcement from Tianji Pavilion was made, the various guests who had been waiting for half a day were dumbfounded. Chaos erupted on the flat ground made of Han white jade.
"Why would Yunlong Daoist personally refine pills? Hasn't he sealed the furnace for almost a century?"
"Esteemed Daoist, can you go and report again? Help us Kui Cave from East Sea to negotiate for a spot. We would be extremely grateful!"
"We, from the Profound Sect, have been waiting for 10 days. Why is Tianji Pavilion suddenly not receiving guests? We demand an explanation!"
"Yes, we demand an explanation!"
...
All the arriving guests were powerful figures from various factions. Along with their strength came their arrogance. Tianji Pavilion's announcement made them feel like they were being played.
However, the young Daoist from Tianji Pavilion remained expressionless. He glanced indifferently at them and spoke without mercy:
"Believe it or not, Tianji Pavilion has its own rules. If you don't accept it, you can leave now. Tianji Pavilion will not try to keep you."
This statement left the entire audience speechless. The clamor quickly subsided. The powerful figures looked at each other. After a moment, none of them were willing to leave.
There was no choice!
Tianji Pavilion was just that formidable!
As a neutral force, they manipulated the celestial movements, and their depth was unfathomable. They didn't lack sycophants, and there were plenty who wanted to gain their favor.
Seeing everyone silent, the young Daoist couldn't help but smirk, a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"Alright, since you all are willing to wait, I'll go find Senior Brother for today's guest list."
He flicked his dusting cloth and floated away.
With his departure, the big shots were once again left hanging, not knowing how long they would have to wait for any news.
"Gosh! Tianji Pavilion is truly arrogant. What's the big deal!"
"Sigh, if my son didn't fall ill and need the elixirs from Tianji Pavilion, I wouldn't tolerate this humiliation!"
"A mere junior Daoist dares to speak to us like this, how arrogant!"
"Hehe, they are indeed extraordinary. Just leave if you don't like it!"
"We've waited this long; now I just hope I can be selected among the ten slots today. If not, maybe next month!"
...
Amidst the righteous indignation, the crowd expressed their thoughts.
In the crowd, Liu Yexi furrowed her delicate eyebrows, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, Tianji Pavilion suddenly changed its rules. If we don't stay, the young master won't be able to pay his respects to the mountain before completing the examination."
"We can only do what is within our power. Success or failure depends on fate," replied Mu Yuyan calmly.
Unable to confront the stronger figures, they seized the opportunity to question Liu Yexi!
Looking at the densely packed crowd below, Liu Yexi's face turned slightly pale. The joy that was originally overwhelming became heavy.
At this moment, a delicate jade hand pulled her behind.
Looking up, it was Mu Yuyan standing in front of her. Wearing a flowing fairy dress, her beautiful face held a touch of frostiness as she disdainfully looked down on the people below.
The sharp aura of the Sword Immortal suddenly surged. A golden sword qi rose like the morning sun, hanging in the air above the flat ground.
Intimidated by her strength, the voices of the people gradually subsided, but their eyes still held a resentful look.
In the next moment, the young Daoist took a step forward, respectfully saluted Mu Yuyan, then turned to the people below, casually saying:
"You want to know Tianji Pavilion's rules for receiving guests?"
"Very well, today I will inform you all."
"Tianji Pavilion selects guests based not on when you arrive or your strength... It depends on whom our Senior Brother wishes to choose."
Damn! Tianji Pavilion is indeed arrogant!
Now, not only those who weren't selected below were dissatisfied, even those fortunate enough to pay their respects to the mountain couldn't help but exclaim!
Mu Yuyan, with a barely noticeable frown, didn't think the Senior Brother of Tianji Pavilion had anything to do with the Jing Nation... But Yexi and herself being able to go up the mountain together clearly indicated his involvement.
Ignoring the commotion behind her, the young Daoist cast a glance at Mu Yuyan and lightly said to the ten chosen ones, "Follow me up the mountain."
"Our Master is in seclusion to refine elixirs for a grand ceremony today, and there is no time. The one receiving you today is our Senior Brother!"
First, she was sparingly helped by Yunlong Daoist to kill the Demon Emperor, and now it was the unheard Grand Provider and Senior Brother...
Mu Yuyan's beautiful eyes flickered with curiosity.
...
On the other side.
Inside Langzhou City, in a simple courtyard next to the city wall.
Lin Lu opened the fence and welcomed Gu Lan and the others.
"It seems that Young Master Lin is living quite a difficult life..." Old Yang looked around, sighing quietly.
"Shut up." Gu Lan glared at him.
This guy knew nothing, and his mouth was just plain stupid. Although his words might imply sympathy, they sounded harsh to the brother and sister.
"No matter, Uncle Yang speaks his mind. Compared to those hypocritical people outside, he's much better," Lin Lu said with a forced smile. "This place is also rented. We've already sold our family home..."
Gu Lan nodded sympathetically.
Just as she was about to suggest going inside to check on the patient, a slightly stooped figure with a white cloth bag on his back, wearing a physician's hat, walked down the path outside the courtyard.
It was a doctor...
