After eting with Qiu Yong and the others, Ling Chen made small talk and did not ntion the purpose of his trip to Jinhai City at all. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Qiu Yong, but Song Ge and Zhou Jun were also present, and it was better not to let them hear.
Although Ling Chen still didn’t know exactly what relationship Su He had with the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, being as clever as he was, even if Su He didn’t say anything, Ling Chen could guess a thing or two. Su He’s position in the Heavenly chanism Pavilion wasn’t just high, it was extrely high.
At this mont, soone walked towards the door and stepped into the room.
Seeing the newcor, Ling Chen hurriedly clasped his fists and slightly bowed, saying, "Elder Zhou."
Zhou Qi nodded and took the initiative to greet Qiu Yong and the others. Even though Zhou Qi held a high position in the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, the other party was after all among the Eight Eccentrics, and even if the Heavenly chanism Pavilion Master Su i were here, she wouldn’t dare be negligent.
"Ladies and gentlen, the Pavilion Master invites you!"
Hearing this, Yang Chen smiled and said, "Brother Six, your charm is really great. We didn’t even see the Pavilion Master when we ca yesterday, but the mont you arrive, you imdiately receive a summons. It seems that our faces are not as big as yours."
"That’s right, of all of us here, only Brother Six is the youngest and most capable, and handso and dashing, naturally earning others’ favor," Xia Yue added.
Ling Chen touched his nose helplessly and said with a bitter smile, "Enough! You two stop teasing ."
"Everyone, recently the Heavenly chanism Pavilion has an important matter to deal with, so the Pavilion Master has been very busy and couldn’t receive everyone imdiately. Please forgive us and don’t take it to heart," Zhou Qi explained.
"It’s okay," Qiu Yong said indifferently, "We were just joking, nothing serious. Elder Zhou doesn’t need to apologize. Since the Pavilion Master has summoned us, let’s hurry on, so we don’t keep her waiting."
Walking to the top floor of the Pavilion Master’s tower where the Heavenly chanism Pavilion Master resides, Qiu Yong, as the leader of the Eight Eccentrics, was the first to step in.
Upon entering the room, a graceful figure could vaguely be seen behind the curtain.
With both hands clasped in salute, Qiu Yong greeted, "Qiu Yong and the Eight Eccentrics pay their respects to the Pavilion Master."
"Please, Elder Qiu, have a seat!"
"Thank you!"
After everyone sat down, Su i, sitting behind the curtain, asked, "Elder Qiu, may I know what brings the Eight Eccentrics to the Heavenly chanism Pavilion this ti?"
"Well..." Qiu Yong glanced at Ling Chen with the corner of his eye and said with a smile, "It’s nothing much, just wanted to ask the Heavenly chanism Pavilion for a favor. My younger brother was seriously injured recently, was at death’s doorstep, and although he has improved sowhat, his health isn’t fully recovered. I worry about residual health issues, thus I ca to ask the Heavenly chanism Pavilion for a Heavenly chanism Pill. I wonder if the Pavilion Master could make an exception and help?"
"Elder Qiu, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but Ling Chen received many rewards during the Heavenly chanism Great Ceremony, including several Heavenly chanism Pills. Surely they haven’t all been used up?"
"If we still had so, we wouldn’t have had to ask the Pavilion Master for help."
"If it were anyone else, the Heavenly chanism Pavilion wouldn’t easily give out the Heavenly chanism Pill, but since Elder Qiu has spoken, the Heavenly chanism Pavilion must show so respect. Zhou Qi, go fetch a Heavenly chanism Pill."
"Yes," Zhou Qi responded and then turned and walked out of the room.
"Elder Qiu, the Eight Eccentrics rarely visit the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, so since you’re here, why not stay a few more days and let us extend our hospitality," Su i warmly invited.
With a mild smile, Qiu Yong replied, "Since the Pavilion Master has invited, how could I refuse? It would be my pleasure to stay."
In a short while, Zhou Qi brought a high-quality Heavenly chanism Pill and handed it to Qiu Yong. Once the item was received, Qiu Yong led everyone to thank Su i and then turned to leave the room.
Before Ling Chen could leave the room, suddenly, Su i’s voice ca from behind the curtain, "Mr. Ling, please wait a mont."
Qiu Yong turned back and looked at Ling Chen with a aningful expression, saying, "Then we’ll head back to our room first. You can have a good talk with the Pavilion Master."
Ling Chen nodded and watched as Qiu Yong and the others left before he returned to the room and asked the figure behind the curtain, "Miss Su, did you need sothing?"
"Elder Zhou, you may leave as well, let us talk alone."
"Yes!" Zhou Qi nodded slightly and followed in the footsteps of Qiu Yong and others, leaving the room.
Once there were no others in the room, Su i lifted the curtain and walked out from behind it, graceful and elegant.
It’s been a while since Ling Chen last saw her, and Su i seed sowhat tired, probably due to lack of rest, not as spirited as before.
"Miss Su, have you been busy lately? You don’t seem to look very well," Ling Chen asked with concern.
"There are many things to handle at the Yangxin Pavilion, and although I as the Pavilion Master have many people to command, this matter must be handled personally by , thus I’ve been more tired than usual, but it’s nothing. It’ll be fine after a few days."
Hearing this, Ling Chen imdiately understood. There was no need to guess; Su i was surely preparing for the grand event at the Yangxin Pavilion.
"Ling Chen, did you really co to the Heavenly chanism Pavilion only for a Heavenly chanism Pill?"
Facing Su i’s inquiry, Ling Chen smiled slightly, "Of course. Why, do you not believe ?"
"It’s not that I don’t believe you, but... if it was just for this, I feel you wouldn’t make such a fuss, even bringing the Eight Eccentrics personally to the Heavenly chanism Pavilion. Actually, given your relationship with the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, if you had just spoken up, I would have definitely not refused, so I am curious to know if you might have other motives."
"I won’t hide it from you, I indeed have another purpose. Miss Su, I was wondering if Elder Du is at the Yangxin Pavilion?"
"Du Kang?" Su i nodded and replied, "Since he helped you last ti, he has been staying at Yangxin Pavilion. What, you want to see him?"
"Correct. I want to thank him and also discuss so matters with him. Miss Su, I wonder if you could help with this?"
"This..." Su i hesitated and said, "It’s not that I’m unwilling to help you, but the rules of the Yangxin Pavilion are many, and also, Elder Du doesn’t really want to be disturbed, I’m not sure if he would be willing to et you. How about this, let ask and see what he thinks."
"That would be much appreciated."
After so more casual talk, Ling Chen took his leave from the room.
His earlier ntion of visiting Du Kang was just a pretext and did not reveal his true purpose, simply following Su He’s instructions. Before his arrival, Su He had advised him not to reveal the dagger hastily, but to first find Du Kang and have him accompany him to the grand event to assess the situation.
Because this grand event involved a showdown between masters, Su He hoped that after seeing the capabilities of the opponents, he could carefully consider everything before deciding whether to participate or not.
Once back in his room, Ling Chen stood by the window, stretched leisurely, and quietly awaited Su i’s news.
