Not to mention the elders of the other two pavilions, even the elders of his own Blue Cloud Pavilion were big shots who stood at the top of the entire north island of Heaven Stage Island. How could Meng Jueguang, a small steward at the bottom, speak to them?
As the saying goes, the Prime Minister's doorstep is a seventh-grade official. Even the lowest handyman around these elders was a big shot that Meng Jueguang had to look up to. Even if he wanted to flatter them, he might not be able to do so!
As for talking to these elders directly, it was simply a pipe dream. Even if he really had such a dream, Meng Jueguang might still be trembling in fear in his dream!
At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd. The sharp-eyed newcomers had already found that the elders of the three pavilions had finally arrived, accompanied by a large group of people led by Pavilion Master Hu Yunfeng in the distance!
Got it! Meng Jueguang's eyes suddenly lit up. He saw an acquaintance among the three elders. It was Xu Lingchong, Young Master Xu. Looking at his posture in front of the three elders, wouldn't it be a simple matter to ask him to help deal with Lin Yi?
It was not strange for Xu Lingchong to appear here, because this time, the elder of the Soaring Sky Pavilion was one of the members of the supreme Elders Guild of the entire Heaven Stage Island's North Island, the third elder of the Soaring Sky Pavilion, who was also Xu Lingchong's grandfather, Xu Yuanzheng.
As for the other two elders who came together, they were Xie Xin, the fifth elder of Mysterious Pavilion, and Zhao Hongbo, the fourth elder of Blue Cloud Pavilion.
Among the three elders, although Xie Xin of Mysterious Pavilion and Zhao Hongbo of Blue Cloud Pavilion were also big shots that countless people looked up to, compared with Xu Yuanzheng, their status was still a notch lower. The reason was simple. Neither of them was a member of the Elders' Union, but Xu Yuanzheng was one of them.
He could not enter the Elders' Union. It meant that he had no right to speak on many important matters of the Three Pavilions, and it meant that he was still one step away from the top level of the north island. Therefore, even though Xie Xin and Zhao Hongbo were both high and mighty elders, in front of Xu Yuanzheng, a giant of the Elders Council, they inevitably had to lower their heads.
Very naturally, Xu Yuanzheng became the undisputed number one figure on the Welcoming Pavilion's public guidance day, and his grandson Xu Lingchong, who was brought along by his side, also became the focus of the entire audience. In front of the three elders, he was calm and at ease.
Out of respect for Xu Yuanzheng, even the two elders, Xie Xin and Zhao Hongbo, didn't have the slightest intention of being high and mighty when they spoke to Xu Lingchong. Their speech and actions were filled with amiability, causing the bystanders to be extremely envious.
As for Hu Yunfeng and the others who accompanied them, they did not receive such good treatment. Other than smiling apologetically, they didn't even dare to breathe loudly in front of these three elders. They were afraid that they would accidentally make one of the elders unhappy and bring disaster to themselves.
However, in addition to trembling with fear, Pavilion Leader Hu Yunfeng was still very excited at the moment, because according to the usual practice in previous years. The elders sent by the Three Great Pavilions to participate in the Public Instruction Day were usually the lowest-ranked elders in their respective pavilions. Even people like Xie Xin and Zhao Hongbo might not be willing to show up. But this year, it wasn't just these two. Even Xu Yuanzheng showed up in person!
Being in the Elders Council was a giant figure in the whole north island!
Xu Yuanzheng's appearance. For the small Welcoming Pavilion, it was an unprecedented event. It not only brought light to the entire Welcoming Pavilion, but also made Hu Yunfeng, the Pavilion Leader of the Welcoming Pavilion, proud. As long as he got Xu Yuanzheng's approval, wouldn't it be a matter of course for him to have a meteoric rise in the future?
Hu Yunfeng nodded to Xu Lingchong gratefully. He knew that all this was Xu Lingchong's credit. Without Young Master Xu's help, a giant of the Elders Council like Xu Yuanzheng would not come to the Welcoming Pavilion at all, and the elders of the other two pavilions, Xie Xin and Zhao Hongbo, naturally would not come after hearing the news.
The reason why the two of them came this time was to take the opportunity to get closer to Xu Yuanzheng. So in the final analysis, it was all thanks to Xu Lingchong that the Welcoming Pavilion could have such an exaggerated and luxurious lineup on the public guidance day.
However, Xu Lingchong obviously didn't care about this. The reason why he racked his brains to persuade his grandfather Xu Yuanzheng to come to the Welcoming Pavilion to help Hu Yunfeng was just a convenience. The main purpose was to show off his power and let some blind nonentities, such as Lin Yi, feel what it was like to look up to a high mountain.
Seeing the appearance of the three elders headed by Xu Yuanzheng, the newcomers in the Welcoming Pavilion suddenly held their breath and stood on both sides, waiting for the three elders respectfully.
Looking at the respectful behavior of the newcomers, Xu Yuanzheng nodded slightly and said, "Little Yun is not bad."
When these four light words fell into his ears, Hu Yunfeng suddenly felt as if he had eaten a miracle medicine. His whole body felt comfortable, and it gave people the feeling that his most taboo, the gray hair, had become much darker and more spirited.
Although calling him Little Yun was somewhat feminine, and if others called him that, it would be insulting. However, it was different when these words came from Xu Yuanzheng's mouth. Hu Yunfeng was overwhelmed by the favor!
"Third Elder, you flatter me. This is my responsibility." Hu Yunfeng quickly bowed and said.
Originally, in this kind of public occasion, Hu Yunfeng, as the Pavilion Master of the Welcoming Pavilion, should call Xu Yuanzheng Elder Xu. After all, the Third Elder was the internal address for Xu Yuanzheng by the Rising Sky Pavilion disciples. However, Hu Yunfeng still did so. His goal was to get close to Xu Yuanzheng. After all, he was a Rising Sky Pavilion disciple, so it was not wrong to call him that.
When Xu Yuanzheng heard this, he looked at him with a smile that was not a smile. He saw through his intentions, but he did not point it out.
Xie Xin and Zhao Hongbo, who were at the side, frowned slightly, but they did not say anything for Xu Yuanzheng's sake. Now that the independent divisions had been wantonly occupied by the Rising Sky Pavilion, this was already the general trend. The Welcoming Pavilion was only a microcosm, so it was meaningless for the two of them to make a mountain out of a molehill.
The three Elders went on stage, and Xu Yuanzheng gave a brief lecture to the newcomers. Then, they dispersed. The three Elders were responsible for guiding the newcomers in their respective pavilions, and they entered the official phase of the Public Instruction Day.
However, during this process, Lin Yi noticed a small interlude. Taking advantage of the gap when Xu Yuanzheng was lecturing the newcomers, Meng Jueguang, who was supposed to be in his own Blue Cloud Pavilion newcomer team, sneaked behind Xu Lingchong and whispered something into his ear. During this time, the two of them looked in his direction with ill intentions.
After that, Lin Yi and the other Blue Cloud Pavilion newcomers were led by Meng Jueguang into the third hall of the Welcoming Pavilion to wait. Zhao Hongbo, the Fourth Elder of the Blue Cloud Pavilion, whispered a few words to Xu Lingchong and delayed for a moment before walking in.
