Ten days later, a hundred miles away from the Pavilion of Three Lives, in a quiet and dense forest.
The moonlight shone down along the mottled shadows of the trees, sprinkling on the four figures, adding a touch of mystery to them.
The old man from the Pavilion of Buddhist Texts sat cross-legged on the crown of a tree, motionless like an old monk in meditation, not saying a word.
The indifferent man from the iceberg stood on the ground, unmoving like a javelin. He was also as cold as an ice mountain, emitting a coldness that kept strangers away.
The tall man from the brothel leaned against the side of an ancient tree, holding a foxtail grass in his mouth. His eyes were half-closed, and his handsome face was full of laziness.
His sloppy appearance made Yu Zhiyou's elegant eyebrows rise, and she said, "Gao Xin, I can't stand your lazy appearance. You only know how to hang around in the brothel all day, and don't seek to improve yourself."
"That has nothing to do with you, Miss Yu."
Gao Xin half-squinted her eyes, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and said, "You're not my wife, and you're not my superior. What does it have to do with you?"
"You!"
Yu Zhiyou's elegant eyebrows rose, ready to explode. However, thinking of the Master of the Secret Pavilion whom she has never met, she didn't bother to argue with Gao Xin.
"Forget it, I won't argue with you. Let's talk about the Master of the Secret Pavilion."
"There's nothing to talk about. I haven't seen the Master of the Secret Pavilion since I was born, so I know nothing about him." Gao Xin shrugged.
"You haven't seen him either?"
Yu Zhiyou's elegant eyebrows knit together, and shifted her gaze to the indifferent man, saying, "Han Yefei, have you seen the Master of the Pavilion?"
Hearing this, the indifferent man slowly shook his head, and didn't speak.
"I haven't seen him either, and neither has my father." Yu Zhiyou frowned.
"That's not surprising. This master has always been elusive. Even my grandfather hasn't seen him. According to my estimation, he's lived for at least a few thousand years. "
With the foxtail grass in her mouth, Gao Xin's gaze suddenly shifted to the old man, and she pointed out, "There's someone who has definitely seen the Master of the Pavilion."
Hearing this, Yu Zhiyou's elegant eyebrows slightly wrinkled. She quickly thought of the old man, and said with a smile, "Senior, you must have seen the Master of the Pavilion. What does he look like? What kind of person is he? "
"I know that the Pavilion Master is an old man with a good temperament. However, I have never met the new Pavilion Master, so I don't know anything about him."
The old man spoke indifferently. He was like an eminent monk that had descended into the mortal world, his appearance solemn and dignified as he stood there without moving.
"New Pavilion Master?"
Yu Zhiyou was stunned. Gao Xin was stunned. Even the cold and stern man who had not spoken a word had shifted his gaze over. They were all shocked.
"Senior, do you mean that the owner of the Secret Pavilion has changed?" Yu Zhiyou's beautiful eyes widened as she stared at the old man.
The same goes for Han Yefei and Gao Xin.
"None of you have seen the Pavilion Master, or rather the previous Pavilion Master, so you don't know the fluctuations of his soul."
The old man said softly, "And I know. That's why I sensed it from the spiritual ripples that were transmitted. The one who sent the message was not the previous Pavilion Master, but the new Pavilion Master."
"What about the previous Pavilion Master?" Yu Zhiyou frowned.
"Dead."
The old man lightly spat out two words. Although it was flat, one could feel the sorrow in it. He looked at the three young people in front of him and said, "There is only one Pavilion Master. Only after death will a new Pavilion Master appear. Right now, the new Pavilion Master has been born, which means that the previous Pavilion Master is dead. "
"So that's how it is."
Yu Zhiyou nodded lightly. She didn't feel any sorrow.
Gao Xin and Han Yefei were the same. They had never even met the previous Pavilion Master, so they naturally wouldn't feel any sorrow.
"In that case, the new Pavilion Master is a young man?" Yu Zhiyou's eyes turned, looking forward to it even more.
"It's possible, but it's not absolute. We'll know if we continue to wait," the old man said indifferently. He slowly closed his eyes and said no more.
"If it was the previous Pavilion Master, I naturally have no objections. But the new one must have real ability."
Yu Zhiyou's gaze turned to Gao Xin and Han Yefei, saying, "I intend to test the new Pavilion Master. What do you think?"
"I have no objections. The meaning of life for the people of the Secret Pavilion is to protect the sect and obey the Pavilion Master. In other words, we have to put our lives in the hands of the Master of the Secret Pavilion. "
Gao Xin smiled evilly, saying, "If this person doesn't have real ability, it's not worth it for me, Gao Xin, to put my life in his hands."
"That's right, that's what I mean."
Yu Zhiyou nodded lightly, saying, "Due to the ancestral teachings, we will dedicate our lives to the Master of the Secret Pavilion, to the Three Lives Pavilion. If this person can't handle the great responsibility, I won't listen to his orders. "
Saying so, she shifted her gaze to the indifferent man, saying, "What do you think?"
"I don't care if he has real ability or not. Since my ancestors, I've always obeyed the Master of the Secret Pavilion. So, no matter what kind of person he is, my life is his. "
Han Yefei said indifferently. Although his voice was soft, it was sonorous and powerful, powerful and resonating.
"Foolish loyalty."
Yu Zhiyou spat out these two words without restraint. Gao Xin also lightly shook her head, disagreeing with Han Yefei's thinking.
"So what?"
Han Yefei indifferently glanced at the two of them, saying, "The reason we live on is to obey the Pavilion Master and protect the Three Lives Pavilion. If we can't do these two things, then we're betraying the ancestral teachings."
"What you say makes sense, but don't forget, the Pavilion Master is an existence that we have to dedicate our lives to. If he takes on the great responsibility, then wouldn't we die in vain?"
Yu Zhiyou's pretty face was solemn as she said, "In short, I won't put my life in the hands of a stranger just because of the ancestral teachings."
"I think so too."
Gao Xin's expression was solemn, no longer as frivolous as before. She said, "In short, if he can't handle the great responsibility, I won't listen to his orders."
"You're betraying the ancestral teachings."
Han Yefei indifferently said. Wisps of chilliness emitted from him, causing the surrounding space to suddenly drop to freezing point.
"You want to fight?"
Yu Zhiyou's elegant brows rose, saying, "Just as well. I also want to see how capable the descendant of the number one expert under Three Lives Scholar is."
"Count me in."
Gao Xin smiled evilly. She didn't emit any imposing manner, but there was an intimidating divine might.
"It doesn't matter if you join."
Han Yefei said emotionlessly. The coldness turned even colder and the trees around them turned into ice sculptures.
Seeing this, Yu Zhiyou and Gao Xin unleashed their Qi as well. They were all at the beginning stage of the Dao Choosing Realm!
Instantly, the atmosphere turned heavy and the flames of war filled the air.
However, just as the three of them were about to start fighting, the elder suddenly spoke, defusing the three's Qi.
"Stop, everyone. Someone is here. I wonder if it's the new Pavilion Master or another member of the Hidden Pavilion."
As soon as he spoke, the three of them frowned. Then, they heard a series of light footsteps coming from not too far away.
"Who is it?"
Yu Zhiyou raised an eyebrow, her demeanor threatening.
As soon as she finished speaking, the reply she got was a short sentence filled with unquestionable authority.
"The Hidden Pavilion Master … Ling Xian."
