Hua Lan Residence was located in the core area of the Soaring Sky Pavilion. It was not a cave that was specifically used for cultivation, but a man-made loft. It was where Shanghai Tianhua lived his daily life.
It was named Hua Lan Residence because there were only two people living here. Both of them had taken a word from their names to form the name of the residence.
The word 'Hua' was taken from Shanghai Tianhua, while the word 'Lan' was taken from the Eldest Young Mistress, Shangguan Laner.
Although the security was extremely tight, the Southern Heavenly Gate managed to enter the Hua Lan Residence in the end by relying on his identity as the Eldest Senior Brother in charge of the Soaring Sky Pavilion. At this moment, Shanghai Tianhua was personally teaching Shangguan Laner how to cultivate.
To be able to receive personal tutelage from a top-tier powerhouse like Shangguan Tianhua, in the eyes of any cultivator, that was a blessing that could not be obtained in several lifetimes. Alas, comparisons were odious. This sort of treatment that others could only dream of, but in the eyes of the Shangguan First Miss, it was not attractive at all.
Just like now, when the Southern Heavenly Gate was led into the residence by the guards, Eldest Young Mistress Shangguan was fooling around with the Little Curly Bear. As for Shanghai Tianhua, the dignified Lord Pavilion Master, he was currently sitting at the side with his arms crossed and a bitter smile on his face. He looked like he was having a headache.
Due to the distance between them and the fact that his children were not by his side, Shangguan Laner, his only granddaughter, was definitely the apple of Shanghai Tianhua's eye. Even if he did not spoil her, he still doted on her.
Under normal circumstances, unless something serious happened, Shanghai Tianhua would stay in the Hua Lan Residence after dark. Not only did he enjoy the company of his family, it was also convenient for him to supervise Shangguan Laner's cultivation.
However, there was one thing that gave the Lord Pavilion Master a headache. Although Shangguan Laner had great talent, she had never been interested in cultivation. Even with him, her grandfather, watching over her, it was useless. She was still half-hearted and distracted.
Otherwise, if Eldest Young Mistress Shangguan really wanted to improve, with her great talent. Coupled with Shanghai Tianhua's personal guidance, he had probably already become an outstanding figure of the Soaring Sky Pavilion's new generation.
Seeing the Southern Heavenly Gate enter, Shangguan Laner immediately said excitedly, "Grandpa, someone is looking for you. Let's call it a day."
Shanghai Tianhua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Stop here? Little Lan 'er, you haven't even officially started cultivating today, right? How could you say such a thing! "
"Hehe!" Shangguan Laner stuck out her tongue cutely, and the little curly bear next to her also made a face. Shanghai Tianhua had no choice but to give up.
The Southern Heavenly Gate was the Eldest Senior Brother in charge of the Soaring Sky Pavilion. Shanghai Tianhua could not ignore it. It could not be helped that Shangguan Laner took the opportunity to skip this lesson.
Seeing that Shanghai Tianhua had noticed him, the Southern Heavenly Gate hurriedly knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "Disciple Southern Heavenly Gate pays respect to the Pavilion Master!"
In front of Shanghai Laner, his only granddaughter, Shanghai Tianhua was just an amiable old man. However, in front of outsiders, he was the top figure standing at the peak of the entire north island, an out-and-out super powerful big shot. Even if he deliberately restrained his aura, he still made people feel that he was powerful and domineering, making them tremble as if they were walking on thin ice.
Shanghai Tianhua waved his hand, signaling the Southern Heavenly Gate to stand up and speak. He said, "What do you want?"
It was just a casual question, but because Shanghai Tianhua had regained his majesty, the Southern Heavenly Gate, an expert in the Peak Foundation Establishment Realm, was frightened from the bottom of his heart. He felt that if he relaxed even a little, he would immediately be drowned in the other party's inadvertent pressure.
He held back every bit of aura in his body and stood up from the ground quietly. The Southern Heavenly Gate then answered carefully, "Pavilion Master, I'm here for my third brother."
"Nan Tianyong?" Shanghai Tianhua slightly raised his eyebrows.
Although Nan Tianyong was an unimportant person in his eyes, and he would not normally pay attention to him, as the Pavilion Master of the Soaring Sky Pavilion, even the slightest movement in the Soaring Sky Pavilion would not escape his eyes.
As the supervising deacon of the Soaring Sky Pavilion, Nan Tianyong was killed in the territory of the three pavilions. Even if no one deliberately added fuel to the fire, it had caused quite a stir in the past few days. It was impossible for Shanghai Tianhua not to know about it.
"Pavilion Master is wise. My third brother, as the supervising deacon of the Soaring Sky Pavilion, was killed by an outsider rogue cultivator in the market. If we don't catch the culprit as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will negatively affect the reputation of the Soaring Sky Pavilion." The Southern Heavenly Gate said cautiously.
Even someone as shrewd and shrewd as him did not dare to play any tricks in front of a top-tier powerhouse like Shangguan Tianhua. All he could do was carefully choose his words to express his intentions. Any other actions would be unnecessary, and he would be trying to act smart and courting death.
Shanghai Tianhua nodded his head slightly. There was nothing wrong with the Southern Heavenly Gate's words. If the matter continued to be delayed, although it would not cause any trouble, it would still damage the reputation of the Soaring Sky Pavilion.
"That's right, but didn't the Disciplinary Hall take care of it? Nan Tianyong is the supervising deacon, which means he's one of the Disciplinary Hall's people. They won't just ignore it. " Shanghai Tianhua said calmly. It was true that Nan Tianyong was the supervising deacon of the Soaring Sky Pavilion, but at the end of the day, he was still a member of the Disciplinary Hall!
The Southern Heavenly Gate's heart sank when he heard this. Nan Tianyong was indeed one of the Disciplinary Hall's people. Normally, the Disciplinary Hall would attach great importance to the death of one of their own. However, the truth was that although Nan Tianyong's death had been filed, the entire Disciplinary Hall was just going through the motions. They did not make any big moves.
Otherwise, with the terrifying power of the Disciplinary Hall, they would have dug out the rogue cultivator Lin Er in the past few days. How could there be no movement like now?
In the end, whether the Disciplinary Hall would take Nan Tianyong's death seriously depended on Ram Jie's attitude.
If Ram Jie gave the order, then even if they had to dig three feet into the north island, the Disciplinary Hall would still have a way to dig out Lin Er.
However, the problem now was that Nan Tianyong's death was not even worth Ram Jie's attention. To make a big fuss over such an insignificant person, in Ram Jie's eyes, was an extremely ridiculous and stupid thing to do.
Since his superior already had such an attitude, it was understandable and normal for his subordinates to feign civility and go through the motions.
Ram Jie could ignore it, but as the master of the Soaring Sky Pavilion, Shanghai Tianhua could not completely disregard the reputation of the Soaring Sky Pavilion.
