According to the customs of the Mysterious Pavilion, Feng Song didn't look young, but he had a dignified air about him.
Among the two Deputy Pavilion Masters, Feng Song was the one who posed the greatest threat to Hu Yunfeng's position as Pavilion Master. Although his background wasn't as strong as Hu Yunfeng's, the newcomers selected by the Mysterious Pavilion were basically under his banner. In terms of strength and rallying power, he wasn't weak. He was currently Hu Yunfeng's biggest competitor.
As for the remaining Deputy Pavilion Master, although his rank was the same as Feng Song's, his position in the Welcoming Pavilion had been completely marginalized due to the fact that the Blue Cloud Pavilion's backing wasn't impressive and he didn't have any outstanding strength. Let alone competing for the position of Pavilion Master, it seemed like he might not even be able to keep his position as Deputy Pavilion Master. Even the newcomers of the Blue Cloud Pavilion would at most call him Third Pavilion Master when they met, which showed how awkward his position was.
If it weren't for the fact that the Three Pavilion Summit had no choice but to arrange a Third Pavilion Master for the balance of power, the Welcoming Pavilion would have been Hu Yunfeng and Feng Song's world!
Compared to the previous two groups of Pavilion Masters and Deputy Pavilion Masters who personally came out to welcome them, Senior Brother Ku Bi and Lin Yi, who arrived last, were completely ignored. Not only did they not see any important figures, but even a random disciple of the Welcoming Pavilion couldn't be bothered with them. Blue Cloud Pavilion was famous for being a waste shelter. They were destined to have no future in this life, so what was there to greet?
But what puzzled Lin Yi the most was that even if the Pavilion Master didn't come, why didn't anyone else from the Blue Cloud Pavilion come to welcome them? Even if there wasn't a big lineup, shouldn't their own people at least come?
This made Lin Yi feel that Senior Brother Ku Bi's words weren't nonsense. This was the worst pavilion, and they weren't a monolithic block!
Lin Yi wasn't the only one who was depressed. Even Xiao Ran, who wanted to keep a low profile, was depressed when he saw this scene. After all, those who could come to this Heavenly Island were all figures who stood at the peak of the secular world. They were dragons and phoenixes among men, favored by the heavens. When had they ever been given the cold shoulder like this?
If everyone received the same treatment, then there would be nothing to feel unbalanced about. The problem was that the other side had important people come out to greet them, but they didn't even have a small fry on their side. The difference was too great.
This difference in treatment meant that they had already lost at the starting line from the very beginning. It was easy to imagine how their days in the Welcoming Pavilion would turn out.
Senior Brother Ku Bi had already expected this scene. Seeing the uncertain expressions on the two's faces, he could only awkwardly comfort them. "Although our Blue Cloud Pavilion can't be compared to the other two pavilions, it's not as good as the other two pavilions. Actually, there's also a Deputy Pavilion Master. He wanted to bring some people to welcome you, but he was called away by the Pavilion Master to deal with some other matters, so … "
Lin Yi and Xiao Ran looked at each other with a bitter smile. Looking at the grand gestures of the other two pavilions, they knew that the Welcoming Pavilion still valued the newcomers very much. As for their Blue Cloud Pavilion's Deputy Pavilion Master, he was temporarily assigned to do some chores. He couldn't even come out to greet the newcomers. It could be seen how weak his position was.
No wonder even the Clear Cloud Pavilion's internal department wasn't as united as a piece of iron board. If it was any other newcomer who had been given such a cold shoulder, they would definitely have died. If any newcomer had been given such cold treatment, it would be strange if they still listened to their Deputy Pavilion Master.
This was a typical example of a bear in a nest!
"Let's go. There will be a welcoming ceremony in the main hall later. Apart from the few of you who teleported here from the secular world, there will be a welcoming ceremony. Apart from the few of you who were sent here from the secular world, the newcomers who were selected from the main island are already there. I'll take you there. "Senior Brother Ku Bi sighed.
Lin Yi and Xiao Ran nodded. Since things had already come to this point, it was useless to complain in their hearts. After all, they couldn't just switch to Rushing Sky Pavilion or Mysterious Pavilion at the last minute. Not to mention that the two of them weren't that shameless, even if they did, they wouldn't accept them. Otherwise, they would have been selected long ago.
Since they were already here, they could only take things one step at a time.
After entering the main entrance of the Welcoming Pavilion, they passed through a courtyard and arrived at the main hall.
Just as Senior Brother Ku Bi said, there were already a lot of newcomers gathered here. At first glance, there were about forty to fifty people. They were all selected from the various towns and villages on the island. Every one of them was above the late stage of Heaven Stage. Even those at the peak of the late stage of Heaven Stage could be seen everywhere.
The newcomers present had spontaneously divided into three small groups. There was a group of about ten people in the center, each of them dressed in luxurious clothes and had an air of superiority about them. Apart from their own circle, they looked at everyone else with disdain. In the entire main hall, their voices were the loudest, and they had the air of natural superiors.
This feeling of déjà vu reminded Lin Yi of the disdainful attitude of the people in the secular world towards the people in the countryside. The two were exactly the same.
"These newcomers are all chosen by Rushing Sky Pavilion. Each of them has a great background. They are the real second generation of cultivators. You must not provoke these people in the future. You can't afford to." Senior Brother Ku Bi whispered to Lin Yi and Xiao Ran. He was afraid that the two of them didn't know the details and accidentally brought disaster to themselves.
Lin Yi and Xiao Ran finally understood. No wonder this group of people kept talking about their family's so-and-so elders and so-and-so stewards. They were actually the second generation of cultivators. Although these people might not be very strong, each of them had a deep background. If they really provoked the big shots behind them, it would indeed not be a small problem.
At that moment, Xu Lingchong just happened to walk past with Kang Ming Ming and Zhong Pingliang. Zhong Pingliang winked at Lin Yi, and Lin Yi nodded in understanding.
In this kind of situation where the situation was unclear, it was better for Zhong Pingliang to sneak into Rushing Sky Pavilion than to hole up with him in Blue Cloud Pavilion. Apart from other things, he could at least get some useful information that might come in handy in the future.
"Senior Brother Xu, look. That guy with that pretentious face is Lin Yi." Kang Zhaoming took the opportunity to whisper into Xu Lingchong's ear. He couldn't wait for Xu Lingchong to deal with Lin Yi right now. He wanted Lin Yi to embarrass himself in front of everyone. Let's see how he'd be able to stay in the welcoming pavilion after that.
Unfortunately, Xu Lingchong didn't go along with his wishes. He was the grandson of Rushing Sky Pavilion's third elder. Dealing with a mere newcomer from the secular world in this kind of situation would not only dirty his hands, but he would also be laughed at by the second generation of the same circle. He wouldn't do something that would lower his status.
