Chapter 3867: Don’t want to back down
Translator: 549690339
Ever since Murong Zhen arrived at the three great pavilions, he had been trying to attract the attention of many young masters from the rising Sky Pavilion, especially someone as important as Xu lingchong. However, the sad thing was that even though Xu lingchong had shown some interest in her face, he had never really taken it to heart. He did not even remember her name clearly.
“The slut who scolded miss Shangguan here last time? Young master Xu, have you forgotten?” Lou Tianyou said in surprise. The reason why he had put in so much effort to punish Murong Zhen was to please lingchong Xu. It would be too boring if lingchong Xu had no impression of this woman.
“Oh, it’s her,” Xu lingchong reacted and nodded her head, still showing no interest. With his status and background, a small Murong Zhen was not enough to catch his eye. However, thinking about how she had scolded Shangguan LAN ‘er back then, she agreed to the game indifferently, “That’s good. Then let her stay. Out of sight, out of mind.”
As for continuing to deal with Murong Zhen, Xu lingchong was not in the mood at all, especially since this person was related to elder Murong. It was enough for her.
“Uh … Okay, I thought you would at least be happy. Since young master Xu is not interested, then forget it.” Lou Tianyou shrugged his shoulders in disappointment.
He had no grudges with Murong Zhen in the past or in the present. He only wanted to play along with Xu lingchong, which was why he took action to deal with the other party. Now that young master Xu was not interested in him at all, there was no meaning to it.
With Murong Zhen and elder Murong’s relationship as relatives, with big shots like lady Shangguan and young master Xu standing in front of them, no matter how much Murong Zhen was trampled on, elder Murong would not be able to protect him.
However, he was still an elder of the soaring Pavilion. Lou Tianyou wasn’t stupid enough to provoke him for no reason.
Originally, he had prepared many tricks, but now, this woman had unknowingly dodged a disaster.
Just as Xu lingchong and Lou Tianyou were chatting, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, followed by a low voice.”It seems that I’m late, young master Xu.”
“Hehe, it’s US who arrived early. It’s been a long time since we last met. How have you been, eldest senior brother?” Xu lingchong smiled and gestured for the people of the southern Heaven Gate to take their seats.
Nantianmen and Yu Zhe, who were following behind, looked at each other. After nodding to Lou Tianyou, they sat down opposite Xu lingchong and Yu Zhe.
This time, it was not to meet a top-notch Big Shot like Shangguan Tianhua, so there was no need to be too nervous and restrained. The reason why the southern Heaven Gate brought Yu Zhe along was to try to find that Lin er through other means, other than having Xu lingchong help to pass on a message to pressure hongzhong.
According to Yu Zhe’s deduction, this Lin er was very likely to be related to the welcoming new pavilion. The welcoming new pavilion’s master, Hu Yunfeng, was Xu Yuanzheng’s direct subordinate. If they wanted to do something in the welcoming new pavilion in private, it would be impossible without young master Xu’s approval.
Looking at the sumptuous feast on the table, Nantian gate couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows after taking his seat.””I’m really flattered that I’ve been treated so well by young master Xu, even though I’ve asked for your help this time!”
This kind of sumptuous meal that easily cost thousands of spirit Jade was something that even the southern Heaven Gate would find difficult to afford, even if they were sitting in the position of the soaring Pavilion’s manager, the eldest senior brother.
“It’s only right. You’re the eldest senior brother. As your junior brothers, we should naturally be more filial to you. This way, when it comes to critical moments, we’ll have the cheek to ask for your help, right?” Xu lingchong said with a smile.
“Young master Xu, you seem to be implying something.” South Heaven Gate frowned.
“How could that be? eldest senior brother, you’re thinking too much. This young master is sincerely looking forward to eldest senior brother’s promotion.” Xu lingchong said in a seemingly casual manner.
After hearing this, Nantian men’s eyes flickered. He was a smart person, and he already knew what Xu lingchong meant by saying this.
He had long heard that Xu lingchong had a breakthrough in his strength recently and had become a perfected foundation building expert who was on the same side as him. Now it seemed that he couldn’t hold back his loneliness and was ready to replace him.
Although the southern Heaven Gate had always been very confident in their own strength, their background in the North Island was not very deep. If Xu lingchong really used all his means, it would be hard to say whether he could keep his current position as the eldest senior brother of the soaring Sky Pavilion’s manager.
“Young master Xu must be joking. I don’t even dare to dream about being promoted. I still plan to stay in my current position for a few more years to lay a good foundation for the future.” The southern heavenly gate replied without any change in expression.
In the three pavilions, no matter how strong one’s background was, one’s strength was indispensable. If one was not strong enough, one would not be able to sit in the corresponding position.
With the strength of the perfected Foundation Stage of the southern Heaven Gate, although there was still a trace of room for improvement on the surface, the position of the soaring Pavilion’s steward was definitely the most popular and crucial position at this stage.
Even if they could be transferred to some seemingly more prominent position, it would be a promotion in the open but a demotion in the dark. Therefore, unless they were forced to or had the opportunity to aim for a higher position like direct disciple or manager senior brother, the southern Heaven Gate would never take the initiative to retreat. If they really fought, the three Nan brothers were not to be trifled with.
The so-called direct Senior Steward was the senior Steward of the Golden core stage disciples who had officially acknowledged him as their master. But for that position, even a person in the great circle of the Golden core stage would have to compete for it with his background, let alone him, who had not even reached the Golden core stage!
Besides, if he was in the Golden core stage, he would’ve already gone to the inner sect and become an elder’s disciple in name. He would’ve been someone who could shake the entire Sky Class North Island!
An elder’s direct disciple and him, the managing eldest senior brother, were worlds apart! In the world of cultivation, direct disciples and biological sons and grandsons were almost the same. If he could successfully acknowledge a master, he could be considered as one of the second or third generation of cultivators!
Even if he was not as prominent as Xu lingchong, he was still someone who had the ability to attend all kinds of upper-class parties! If he could become Shangguan Tianhua’s subordinate, he would be almost on the same level as Shangguan LAN ‘er. He would even have no problem stepping on Xu lingchong!
However, Shangguan Tianhua rarely accepted disciples. Gongyang Jie was one of his disciples in name, but he was not a direct disciple.
However, was the Golden core stage that easy to reach? Before he reached the Golden core stage, his position was still very useful!
As for Foundation Stage disciples, like Yu Zhe and Nan tianyong, they were all in name only. It was just like how the secular world recognized each other as relatives. In fact, the three pavilions didn’t recognize it, but they didn’t stop it.
It was normal for cultivators to form gangs.
“Really? big brother, you’re such an important talent. Even if you want to slack off, the big shots in the upper echelons won’t let you off so easily!” Xu lingchong chuckled and didn’t dwell on this issue any longer. He changed the topic and said,”Eldest senior brother, why don’t you tell me what you need my help with?”
