"Uh!"
Dongfang Xiao was surprised, and so was Shi Jiaoyun.
Wutian's meaning was obvious. He was looking for a job for Shi Jiaoyun!
No matter how glamorous and charming a receptionist was, she was not very glorious in the eyes of outsiders. She was often looked down upon and would even be bullied by bad-tempered or vulgar guests.
However, there was one thing that puzzled Dongfang Xiao. What was the relationship between Wutian and Shi Jiaoyun? Why was he looking for a job for her?
"Do you know each other?" Dongfang Xiao was puzzled.
"We've only met a few times." Wutian smiled faintly.
"A few times?" Dongfang Xiao was even more puzzled as he stared at Wutian strangely.
"What? Is Pavilion Master Dongfang unwilling to do me this favor?" Wutian raised the corner of his mouth with a playful smile.
Hearing this, Shi Jiaoyun's heart was filled with doubt, anticipation, and a trace of nervousness.
In fact, she really wanted to persuade him, but she was very eager for a high position. She had been a receptionist for more than ten years and to be honest, she had long been tired of it. Not only did she have to be bullied, but she also had to unconditionally satisfy the shameless desires of the guests.
She had even made up her mind to leave this place after she had earned enough Profound Qi. She would hide in a small city and live as an ordinary woman. She would have children and would never step foot in this kind of place again.
However, if she could change her position and no longer be at the mercy of others, she would naturally be most happy. This was because she was a woman who never relied on men. She liked to do everything by herself and rely on her own efforts to earn the life she wanted.
However, what made her nervous was whether the Pavilion Master would buy this man's account. Another point was why this man wanted to help her. In her memory, she could not find any information about this man.
His gaze swept over Wutian and Dongfang Xiao. Dongfang Xiao thought for a while and finally smiled, "Shi Jiaoyun, from today onwards, you are the Vice Pavilion Master of the Thousand Treasures Pavilion in Phoenix Sun City."
Only then did a sincere smile appear on Wutian's face.
However, Shi Jiaoyun was not as calm as Wutian. She was shocked and happy at the same time. She even felt like she was in the clouds and could not find her direction.
As the name implied, the Deputy Pavilion Master was the person with the highest authority other than the Pavilion Master. In other words, in the Fengyang City's Myriad Treasure Pavilion, the Deputy Pavilion Master was an existence that was second only to the Pavilion Master and above everyone else.
This unexpected reply almost made Shi Jiaoyun stunned. She originally thought that if the Pavilion Master really bought this man's account, the most he would give her was a steward. She didn't expect that it would actually be a Deputy Pavilion Master!
"Alright, our pavilion has already informed the staff of your new identity through voice transmission. Go and find Elder Mo to get your identity token, and you will officially become the Vice Pavilion Master of the Myriad Treasure Pavilion. You may leave first, I still have some things to discuss with this … friend."
"Yes, thank you, Pavilion Master. Thank you, Your Excellency." Shi Jiaoyun hurriedly bowed and thanked him. Then, she happily left the private room and began to prepare for her ascension.
After Shi Jiaoyun left, Dongfang Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I, Dongfang Xiao, have seen countless people, but I really can't see through your style of doing things in the Wutian. Please take a seat!"
After the two of them sat down, Dongfang Xiao did not make tea. Instead, he straightened his face and said, "Speak, why are you looking for me? Don't say that you're here to see me."
"Hehe, Pavilion Master Dongfang should really want me to come!" Wutian asked but did not answer.
"Indeed."
Dongfang Xiao did not deny it. A month ago, the Pavilion Master had agreed to the Sky-Swallowing Frog's conditions. However, when he rushed to the Azure Dragon Continent with Cang Zheng, he found that Wutian had disappeared without a trace. After asking around, he could not find any news, so he had no choice but to return to the Central Brilliance Continent for the time being.
After pondering for a while, Wutian said, "I'm very curious. Why are the other sects shouting to kill me, but your Myriad Treasure Pavilion is indifferent and even tolerates me?"
"This is the Pavilion Master's instruction. As for the reason, I really don't know," Dongfang Xiao said truthfully.
"Alright, let's not talk nonsense. Since you're already here, let's start the transaction."
Dongfang Xiao was straightforward and did not hesitate at all. After a few words of greeting, he went straight to the point. With a flip of his hand, a mustard seed bag appeared and he threw it on the tea table. Inside it were ten million essences.
Wutian was not polite at all. He glanced at it and put it in his arms. However, he did not show any signs of taking out the Dragon Pendant. Instead, he brewed himself a cup of tea and tasted it with relish.
At that moment, Dongfang Xiao frowned and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean by this?"
Wutian put down the teacup and smiled faintly, "To be honest, I've already given the Dragon Pendant away. It's impossible for me to return it to you …"
"You're playing with me!" Before he finished speaking, Dongfang Xiao said gloomily. There was even a powerful aura that gradually rose.
"That's right. My original plan was to play with you, but now I've changed my mind. Since I can't return the Dragon Pendant, I can give you a treasure of the same value as the Dragon Pendant as compensation."
After some contact, Wutian felt that Dongfang Xiao's words and actions were full of goodwill. This made him very confused and also made him change his original intention.
The Wan Bao Pavilion was spread all over the Zhongyao Continent. It was the largest trading place in the five continents. Countless treasures flowed in and out of the pavilion every day. Perhaps among these treasures, there was something that Wutian needed.
Therefore, at present, it was best not to have a bad relationship with the Wan Bao Pavilion. Some conflicts should be avoided as much as possible. It would only be beneficial to him.
"Is that so?"
Dongfang Xiao sneered, "I believe you also know the value of the Dragon Pendant. As long as you find the Phoenix Pendant, after the two fuse, it will become a legendary Holy Weapon. Today, I'd like to see what treasure you can take out that is comparable to the value of the Dragon Pendant."
Wutian shook his head, "The fusion of the Dragon Pendant and the Phoenix Pendant can become a Holy Weapon. This is indeed an indelible fact. However, Pavilion Master Dongfang, have you thought about whether the Phoenix Pendant still exists? If it's still alive, can you guarantee that you can get it one hundred percent? If you can't get it, the Dragon Pendant is just an ordinary Imperial Weapon. May I ask what value it has? "
"The influence of the Wan Bao Pavilion is spread all over the Zhongyao Continent. As long as the Phoenix Pendant appears, it will absolutely not escape our eyes and ears. At that time, when the experts of the Wan Bao Pavilion come out, won't it be easy to get it?"
"What if it doesn't appear in the Zhongyao Continent, but in the other continents?" Wutian only said this sentence, and Dongfang Xiao was immediately speechless.
Although the Wan Bao Pavilion was very powerful, it was only limited to the Zhongyao Continent. In the other four continents, it was nothing at all. If the Phoenix Pendant appeared, the chance of successfully competing for it was almost zero. Dongfang Xiao could not deny this point.
Another point was that the Zhongyao Continent and the other four continents were currently connected by the Transmission Saint Forbidden Channel. If the Phoenix Pendant really appeared in the other continents, the Wan Bao Pavilion still had a chance to compete for it.
But if the Phoenix Pendant appeared after the channel closed, at that time, not to mention snatching it, they might not even be able to get the news.
"What do you want to compensate with?"
At this moment, a pleasant voice suddenly sounded. Then, a purple figure, in a flash of brilliance, appeared in the sight of Wutian and Dongfang Xiao.
Next to the purple figure stood a tall young man, who was also wearing a purple robe. This person was Cang Zheng.
"Greetings, Pavilion Master! Greetings, Young Pavilion Master! "As soon as the two arrived, Dongfang Xiao immediately stood up, bowed, and said the identity of the purple figure.
"Pavilion Master of the Wan Bao Pavilion!"
Wutian's pupils shrank. Before this person appeared, he did not sense even a little bit of aura or abnormality. In fact, what surprised him most was that the master of the Wan Bao Pavilion was actually a woman.
"Boom!"
A monstrous murderous aura suddenly appeared. It was as if an invisible storm was born in the private room. Several chairs and tea tables were instantly smashed into pieces. Even the chair under Wutian's butt was destroyed. Fortunately, he got up in time and did not embarrass himself in front of everyone.
This terrifying murderous aura naturally came from Cang Zheng. He stared coldly at Wutian, his face as dark as water. He gritted his teeth and said, "You still dare to come to the Wan Bao Pavilion? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to leave?"
The Heaven-defying Territory appeared, obliterating all auras. Wutian lifted the corner of his mouth and said indifferently, "When have you seen me do something that I'm not confident in?"
"Don't be arrogant. You should know that we are not in the Yue Yin Ruins, nor in the Azure Dragon Continent. We are in the Wan Bao Pavilion. Here, I am the king. Killing you is as easy as flipping my hand."
Cang Zheng's murderous aura was overflowing. His voice was bone-chilling. If it were not for his mother, he would have already attacked.
"You can try. Let's see if you kill me first or I kill you first!" Wutian sneered. He did not care about the Pavilion Master's presence at all as he confronted Cang Zheng.
"You …"
"Zheng 'er, have you forgotten what your mother said to you?"
The Pavilion Master spoke. Her calm voice carried with it an irresistible pressure. Cang Zheng immediately shut his mouth. After glaring at Wutian fiercely, he stood quietly on the side and sulked.
"The Heaven-defying Territory that is rarely seen in 100,000 years is indeed extraordinary."
The Pavilion Master chuckled. Then, the mist around her quickly dissipated, revealing her true face.
This was a woman of peerless beauty with a graceful figure. The passage and tempering of time didn't leave the slightest mark of age on her face, and she was like a young woman of 16. Her flawless skin seemed as if it was carved from jade, and it was suffused with striking divine radiance.
Seeing the Pavilion Master's true face, Wutian did not feel anything. However, Cang Zheng and Dong Fang Xiao were very surprised. One should know that the Pavilion Master would not show her true face when facing the Pavilion Masters of the Forbidden Sect and the Artefact Sect.
It could even be said that other than the few people in the Wan Bao Pavilion, nobody has ever seen the Pavilion Master's true face. However, in front of Wutian, she took the initiative to show her true face!
It was obvious how much the Pavilion Master valued Wutian.
The Pavilion Master smiled and said, "Wutian, my request is not unreasonable. Just give me two royal weapons as compensation. What do you think?"
"Pavilion Master, please reconsider."
Dong Fang Xiao frowned because he had to consider the possibility that the Phoenix Pendant would appear in the Central Brilliance Continent.
If one day, the Phoenix Pendant did not appear in the four continents but in the Central Brilliance Continent, then with the Wan Bao Pavilion's great power, it would not be difficult to get it.
If they did not take back the Dragon Pendant now, then even if they got the Phoenix Pendant, they could only stare at it helplessly.
"Mother, Uncle Dong Fang is right. If we really get the Phoenix Pendant, then we will lose a powerful holy weapon for nothing."
Cang Zheng nodded in agreement.
"You do not need to worry. We have our own plans."
The Pavilion Master smiled at the two and then looked at Wutian, waiting for his reply.
