Lu Sanjin's sudden invitation surprised Chu Xiu a little.
Although the two sides were not enemies before, their relationship should not have been this good, right?
As such, Chu Xiu asked curiously, "Since it's a martial arts practice between the two Sects, why don't you participate, Brother Lu? The position of Eastern Territory Traveler can be said to be the successor to the Pavilion Master. I can't think of anyone in the entire Imperial Sky Pavilion who is more suitable to participate in this martial arts practice than Brother Lu. "
Lu Sanjin said awkwardly, "I would like to participate, but in this year's martial arts practice between the two Sects, I am forbidden from participating.
High Heaven Sect and my Imperial Sky Pavilion are both great Sects in the Eastern Territory, so this martial arts practice has been held more than once or twice.
However, during the last martial arts practice, there was a guy from High Heaven Sect who had a foul mouth, so I couldn't hold back and directly crippled his cultivation, so I was banned from participating in the next martial arts practice.
If I were to brag about myself, without me in this martial arts practice, High Heaven Sect would definitely lose, so the Pavilion Master has long since asked me to find a way. He even said that I have many friends and could pull one of them over as an Honoured Guest to participate in this martial arts practice. "
At this point, Lu Sanjin smiled bitterly and said, "I do have many friends, but none of us are idiots. Although this is just an ordinary martial arts practice, it is a matter of face for both High Heaven Sect and Imperial Sky Pavilion. If someone represents Imperial Sky Pavilion and defeats High Heaven Sect, it will definitely affect the relationship between their Sects.
For example, Fellow Daoist Yin Ling Zi is here now, but I didn't invite him for this reason.
I can't let Fellow Daoist Yin Ling Zi's Spirit Treasure Temple form a grudge with High Heaven Sect over such a trivial matter.
But Brother Chu is different, you are Gu Zun's successor, so you don't have to worry about High Heaven Sect targeting you.
Moreover, High Heaven Sect won't run to the Forest Mountain Forest to find trouble with your Ancestral Founder over such a trivial matter.
Brother Chu, if you agree, not only can I introduce you to my Imperial Sky Pavilion's Old Ancestor, I can also treat you like a top Honoured Guest of my Imperial Sky Pavilion. "
Ever since Meng Xinghe, the practice of Daluotian recruiting Guest Elders had become prevalent. However, a sect like the Nine Phoenix Sword Sect wouldn't be able to keep a powerful Guest Elder even if they found one.
However, for a top sect like the Imperial Sky Pavilion, their guest retainers of various abilities were divided into various ranks.
The highest level of guest elders were reserved for experts in the Profound Understanding realm. As for Martial Immortals, experts of that level would not be willing to become a guest elder for others.
Lu Sanjin said that he would give Chu Xiu the highest level of treatment, which was almost to treat Chu Xiu as a Mysterious Opening realm expert.
Chu Xiu's lips curled into a smile, "Deal."
There was no benefit in keeping a low profile.
After figuring out the general situation of the Daluotian people, Chu Xiu's high-profile actions had borne fruit, just like now.
No one doubted Chu Xiu's true identity since he was invited by the Imperial Sky Pavilion as a Guest Elder.
Lu Sanjin was overjoyed and said, "Since that's the case, we'll set off after settling some matters. By the way, Brother Yin Lingzi, you've been traveling around the Daluotian. You should be interested in the martial arts exhibition between the two sects, right? Why don't we go together? "
Yin Lingzi also smiled warmly and said, "Sure."
After finalizing the matter, Lu Sanjin was swift and decisive. He first brought Chu Xiu to the Eastern Region.
Chu Xiu was still the Nine Phoenix Sword Sect's Guest Elder, so he had to inform the Nine Phoenix Sword Sect first.
Although it was fine not to inform them, the Imperial Sky Pavilion was very particular. They could be overbearing, but they could not be unreasonable.
Therefore, Lu Sanjin called Lin Yazi to the An Province Prefecture.
Meanwhile, in the An Province Prefectural Governor's Mansion, Jie Yingzong looked at Chu Xiu and Lu Sanjin with a dumbfounded expression.
Previously, he had been doubting Chu Xiu's abilities. In the blink of an eye, Chu Xiu had become the Emperor Sky Pavilion's Guest Elder.
Since Lu Sanjin had confirmed that Chu Xiu was Gu Zun's successor, his identity must be correct.
Lu Sanjin's status in the Imperial Sky Pavilion was almost equivalent to that of a crown prince in the lower realm. Even a feudal lord like Jie Yingzong had to give him face and treat him politely.
Although not every Eastern Region Wayfarer would eventually become the Imperial Sky Pavilion's Pavilion Master, at least more than half of them did. This probability was very shocking.
At this moment, Jie Yingzong was secretly thankful that he was used to being cautious. Otherwise, he would not care about anything and offend Chu Xiu thoroughly. That would be troublesome.
Jie Yingzong laughed heartily and said, "Back then, I said that Chu was extraordinarily talented and looked like Gu Zun's successor. There's no doubt about it. Now, it seems that I was right."
Lu Sanjin pursed his lips. That was not what Jie Yingzong had said previously. He had described Chu Xiu as very suspicious.
After some small talk, Lin Yazi brought Lin Fengwu to the Prefectural Governor's Mansion.
On the way there, Lin Yazi was nervous. He did not know if Chu Xiu's attitude had angered the Prefectural Governor and he had come to cause trouble for them.
After all, Jie Yingzong had rarely sent a sect's leader directly to the Prefectural Governor's Mansion.
When they arrived, Jie Yingzong said, "Sect Leader Lin, Chu has now joined the Imperial Sky Pavilion as a Guest Elder. I'm here to inform you."
In Jie Yingzong's opinion, there was nothing much to say to a sect like the Nine Phoenix Sword Sect. Not to mention that Chu Xiu had joined the Imperial Sky Pavilion as a Guest Elder, even if they wanted the Nine Phoenix Sword Sect's core cultivation method, they would have to obediently hand it over.
However, as the Eastern Region Advisor, Lu Sanjin did not want to have a bad reputation. That was why he was a little unreasonable.
Lin Yazi was shocked when he heard this. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he said helplessly, "I know. I wish Young Master Chu a bright future."
Previously, Lin Yazi had been fantasizing that the Nine Phoenix Sword Sect could one day become the next Cold River City.
Now that he had finally woken up from his dream, he could not help but worry. What would happen to the Nine Phoenix Sword Sect now that Chu Xiu had left?
One had to know that the people Chu Xiu had killed and the things he had done would eventually be blamed on the Nine Phoenix Sword Sect.
Chu Xiu coughed and said, "There's one more thing I'd like to trouble you with, Prefectural Governor.
No matter what, the Nine Phoenix Sword Sect was the first sect I joined. Now that I'm leaving, there's still a trace of kinship left.
Therefore, I'd like to trouble you to look after the Nine Phoenix Sword Sect after I leave. "
Speaking of which, Chu Xiu had really messed with the Nine Phoenix Sword Sect this time.
Chu Xiu did not expect that he would encounter Lu Sanjin and become a Guest Elder of the Imperial Sky Pavilion.
Therefore, his previous plan was to support the Nine Phoenix Sword Sect to the extent that it could dominate Fanglin County. That was why he had offended people without any restraint.
On account of the kinship, Chu Xiu did not mind helping the Nine Phoenix Sword Sect. After all, it was just a matter of saying the word.
To Jie Yingzong, it was just a matter of saying the word.
He waved his hand and said, "No problem. The Nine Phoenix Sword Sect will be fine in Fanglin County."
Now that Chu Xiu had become a Guest Elder of the Imperial Sky Pavilion, he was one of them. Moreover, Lu Sanjin had personally recruited him into the Imperial Sky Pavilion, so he must be on good terms with Lu Sanjin.
Naturally, Jie Yingzong would not reject such a simple request.
When Lin Yazi and Lin Fengwu walked out of the Prefectural Governor's Manor, Lin Yazi could not help but say when he saw Lin Fengwu's dazed expression, "Girl, don't tell me you have some improper thoughts about that Young Master Chu? I'd advise you to get over it. We're from two different worlds.
Although I named you Fengwu, you're not a True Phoenix. He's a True Dragon.
Haha, I've been thinking too much. I really thought I was Ye Weikong from Cold River City. "
Lin Fengwu had been strong-willed since a young age, and her strength was not inferior to that of a man. Therefore, it was not strange that she would fall for a powerful young expert like Chu Xiu.
However, Lin Yazi had finally gotten over it. He and Chu Xiu were indeed from two different worlds.
He was only the Sect Leader of a small sect, while Chu Xiu was the successor of Gu Zun.
Over the years, there had been many successors of Gu Zun as Guest Elders, but only Cold River City had risen to prominence.
Lin Fengwu forced a smile and said, "Father, you must be joking. I'm just feeling pity for the Nine Phoenix Sword Sect."
Actually, Lin Yazi was right. She did have some thoughts about Chu Xiu.
She was a competitive person, but those so-called young talents in Fanglin County could not even compare to her. What right did they have to catch her eye?
Therefore, when Chu Xiu, who was so powerful that Lin Fengwu had to look up to, appeared, she immediately attracted her attention.
However, when she saw that Chu Xiu's current status was on par with the Prefectural Governor, she knew that she and Senior Chu were indeed from two different worlds.
At the Prefectural Governor's Manor, Jie Yingzong had given face and agreed to Chu Xiu's request. Hence, Chu Xiu could not be too careless.
He thought about it and said, "What Prefectural Governor wants to do now is to be transferred back to the Imperial Sky Pavilion's headquarters?"
Jie Yingzong glanced at Lu Sanjin and nodded. "That's right. Although some people like to be a local tyrant, I'm still obsessed with martial arts."
Everyone in the Imperial Sky Pavilion knew what he was thinking about, so he did not need to hide it from Lu Sanjin.
Chu Xiu said, "I can give you an idea, Prefectural Governor. You can plunder … obtain more resources from Fanglin County and increase your merit."
"Oh? What idea? "
Jie Yingzong did not think much of it. He had been the Prefectural Governor for more than ten years. Did he need a young martial artist like Chu Xiu to teach him anything?
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Prefectural Governor, it's a good idea to earn benefits by maintaining the balance in Fanglin County. However, it's too slow.
There will only be pressure when there's competition. Why don't we change the method? Prefectural Governor, you can announce that you're going into seclusion but secretly provoke the martial arts world in Fanglin County to kill each other.
However, when someone's clan is annihilated, you can ask for the benefits. It can't be more, but it can't be less either. 50% is just right.
This way, the ambitious forces will see the benefits. Even if it's just 50% of the resources, they'll still be willing to fight for it.
The forces without ambition will start accumulating their strength passively in order to protect themselves.
The entire Fanglin County is like a pool of stagnant water. How boring is that? Prefectural Governor, you'll gain more benefits if you move.
The only drawback of this method is that it will quickly create a powerful force. It all depends on whether Prefectural Governor can suppress them. "
