"Oh, oh, I know!" Shangguan Lan 'er thought that she'd gotten away with it, and her face was filled with excitement. She didn't know that Shangguan Tianhua had only turned a blind eye because he trusted Lin Yi.
While Shanghai Laner was busy fooling her grandfather, the Pavilion Master of Blue Cloud Pavilion, Yu Zhenyang, once again arrived at Lin Yi's Inner Gate No.1 Mansion and gently touched the restriction outside the door.
"Greetings, Pavilion Master." Lin Yi hurriedly came out to welcome him. He knew that with the strength of this Pavilion Master, it would be a piece of cake if he wanted to sneak past the seal and enter without a sound. The Pavilion Master was just being polite, which was why he had lowered himself to wait outside the door.
"No need to be so courteous. The appointments have been made. Ku Zhongle will be promoted to Third Pavilion Master of Welcome Pavilion and Xiao Ran will be promoted to Senior Brother Supervisor of Blue Cloud Pavilion. This news will be officially announced tomorrow," Yu Zhenyang said with a smile.
"That's great. Thank you, Pavilion Master." Lin Yi was overjoyed. These two positions were rare positions for Ku Zhongle and Xiao Ran. As long as they developed normally, they would have a bright future.
"Haha, that's what I should do. There's one more thing. There's news from Lu Bianren." Yu Zhenyang smiled, and then his expression became a little serious. "He did go on a mission during this time. The mission location is in the Weiarc Sea Area near the south island. However, the people who went with him to perform the mission have all returned. Only he has no news."
"Pavilion Master, do you mean that Senior Brother Lu is the only one who left the team?" Lin Yi's heart suddenly tightened. His intuition told him that something might have happened to Lu Bianren.
"That's right. Those who returned don't know his whereabouts or where he went. They only said that they parted ways in the middle of the mission. "Yu Zhenyang nodded.
"Parted ways in the middle of the mission? Why?" Lin Yi frowned slightly and then asked, "Pavilion Master, do you know what mission Senior Brother Lu went on this time?"
"The mission itself isn't important, Lin Yi. I can tell you with certainty that the reason why Lu Bianren separated from the others was to find Deputy Pavilion Master Yao, "Yu Zhenyang concluded.
"Vice Pavilion Master Yao?" Lin Yi was stunned again. Although he had a good relationship with Lu Bianren, he had never mentioned Deputy Pavilion Master Yao to him. Even Senior Brother Ku Bi was a bitter person. He had never talked about it.
"That's right. I don't treat you as an outsider, so I won't beat around the bush. This Deputy Pavilion Master Yao has always been Lu Bianren's greatest backer." Yu Zhenyang directly admitted, "A few years ago. Deputy Pavilion Master Yao had led a team out on a mission, and after that, there had been no news from them. Not a single one of them had returned. The last place they had received news from was in the Rose Arc Territorial Waters. Therefore, Lu Bianren had specially gone there this time to find Deputy Pavilion Master Yao. The mission was just a cover. Once we get there, we'll naturally be separated from the main group. "
"I see." Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully. He had heard Senior Brother Ku Bi mention this before, but at that time, he only said that their backer had gone out on a mission. He hadn't been back for a few years, so he didn't say it in such detail.
From the looks of it, Lu Bianren had most likely gone to find someone. He was previously the Third Pavilion Master of Welcome Pavilion. Although he was ostracized, he still held an important position and couldn't go out on a mission. After stepping down from his position, he became the Second Senior Brother of Blue Cloud Pavilion's Outer Sanctum Steward. Even though his position had only risen and not fallen, there were many fewer restrictions.
"But. Even if they were separated at the beginning, after the mission ended, those people didn't wait for Senior Brother Lu and directly returned on their own? Isn't that a little unreasonable? "Lin Yi asked.
"On the surface, he will definitely wait for a while, but this is just for show. In fact, although Lu Bianren is considered a genius disciple, and his life has always been smooth sailing, but because of his personality, after Deputy Pavilion Master Yao disappeared, his life has not been as smooth as it should be." Yu Zhenyang sighed slightly.
Unlike Senior Brother Ku Bi, who had average aptitude, Lu Bianren had shone brilliantly for a period of time in the Blue Cloud Pavilion, which had always lacked talents. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left an impression in the Pavilion Master's heart. Unfortunately, due to the disappearance of Deputy Pavilion Master Yao, Lu Bianren was like an eagle that had lost its wings. Since then, he had become a nobody.
"When Senior Brother Lu was in the Welcome Pavilion, I know that, but wasn't he promoted to be the Second Senior Brother of Blue Cloud Pavilion's Outer Sanctum Steward?" Lin Yi couldn't help but feel strange.
"Hehe, in terms of position, it is indeed a promotion. But first, he doesn't have a backer, and second, he isn't slick and shrewd enough. He can't actually sit firmly in his position as the Second Senior Brother of Outer Sanctum Steward. As far as I know, after he took office, he didn't have any substantial power. He was directly taken over by the Eldest Senior Brother of Outer Sanctum Steward." Yu Zhenyang said with slight regret.
"Is that so …" Before Lu Bianren took office, Lin Yi had already warned him to pay attention to this situation, so he didn't look surprised. Instead, he said, "But this kind of situation where one sect is dominant is not a good thing for the long-term development of Blue Cloud Pavilion, right? Don't tell me the higher-ups don't interfere at all and don't ask about it at all?"
"Although that's what you said, the higher-ups don't interfere with the competition between the disciples. This has long been an unspoken rule. No one will break this rule rashly. After all, this is also a reflection of one's ability." Yu Zhenyang shook his head and said.
"Disciple understands. Thank you, Pavilion Master, for telling me." Lin Yi didn't dwell on this matter and immediately nodded to express his gratitude.
"It's nothing. It's a small matter." Yu Zhenyang smiled.
After sending Yu Zhenyang off, Lin Yi immediately went to the Welcome Pavilion to find Senior Brother Ku Bi and told him about this matter. After all, Senior Brother Ku Bi was closer to Lu Bianren than Lu Bianren.
"Alas, first it was Deputy Pavilion Master Yao, and now it's Senior Brother Lu. But I can't help at all. What should I do?" Senior Brother Ku Bi couldn't help but sigh deeply after hearing this.
"There's no other way. Now we can only wait and see. I hope that they are lucky." Lin Yi also said helplessly. Although he knew the cause, there was still no news. Even if he wanted to help, it was useless.
"At the end of the day, it's all my fault for being too useless. If I was a little stronger, I could have gone with Senior Brother Lu. That way, we could have taken care of each other. It's better than standing on the sidelines like this. Sigh …" The bitter Senior Brother blamed himself.
"Senior Brother Ku Bi, you don't have to blame yourself so much. Although I haven't seen Deputy Pavilion Master Yao, I know Senior Brother Lu. He is not an ordinary person. It's not that easy for him to get into an accident. Maybe there are other hidden reasons." Lin Yi comforted him and then changed the topic. "By the way, in addition to this matter, there's another good news to tell you. The position of Third Pavilion Master of the Welcome Pavilion has been confirmed to fall on your head. Be mentally prepared tomorrow."
