Chapter 820: Selection
The descent of the seven stars shook the Upper Three Realms. The patriarchs of the various clans had divined that ….
That person had landed in the Profound Pavillion.
What sort of place was the Profound Pavillion? It was Lady Providence's residence.
This group of lobbyists sent by the clan were all bitter, but they could only brace themselves and rush over. However, when they arrived at the Profound Pavillion, even though the doors were wide open, no one dared rashly enter.
The earliest had already been waiting outside for two hours, but all they could do was wait patiently outside.
Without Lady Providence's permission, who would dare barge into the Profound Pavillion?
"Come in."
An ethereal voice transmission appeared in everyone's ears. The group of people only dared to walk into the mansion after hearing it.
More and more people gathered in the spacious courtyard. However, after entering, they all stopped and looked at Lady Providence, who sat in the courtyard's pavilion.
"Greetings, Lady Providence."
Everyone bowed to Lady Providence.
"Alright, dispense with the formalities." Lady Providence crossed her legs and waved them off impatiently. "I know you've come for the Lord of Seven Stars, but she's not here. There's no need to rush. I'm close friends with the Lord of Seven Stars. Naturally, I'll help her choose a good place to go. "
"Yes, yes, yes." No one dared slander her in the slightest. They could only smile wryly and agree.
"Then …. Tell me where you've come from and what gifts you've prepared." Lady Providence laughed playfully, then pointed to the side. "Let's start with you."
"Lady Providence, I'm an elder of the Ironback Bear Clan. This is …."
"Ironback Bears are but a second-tier Yao clan. Your clan doesn't even have a ruler, and you want the Master of the Stars to go to your place? Are you awake? I really don't know how you managed to deduce where the Master of the Stars would land. Fine, fine. You're eliminated. But put down your gifts. "
"Lady Providence, I'm …."
"Next."
"Lady Providence, I'm …."
"Next."
In less than an hour, Lady Providence had already filtered out more than half of the people. Only two clans remained.
One of them was the Imperial Clan, which had a long history in the god world. Of course … the history of the Imperial Clan was so long ago that not many people knew anything about it. Lady Providence spared him purely out of respect for his family's ancestor.
Next was the Vermilion Bird Tribe of the Demonic Beast Tribe. Since the Holy Beast Tribe had invited them, they definitely had to stay.
"I'm curious. You don't know who the Lord of Seven Stars really is, do you? Do you have any idea what kind of status the Lord of Seven Stars has? As for the current Nine Thearchs Clans, why haven't I seen them yet? Are they so careless? "
Lady Providence furrowed her brows and cursed. The envoys outside didn't even dare let out half a fart.
"Alright, I can't be bothered to filter anymore. Humans that aren't from the Emperor Race, monsters that aren't from the Saint Race, leave, but leave behind a greeting gift for me. "
"Why?" At that moment, one of the emissaries shouted, "Even if you're Lady Providence and the God Emperor's favorite, you can't slander us like this. Inviting the Star-Lord shows your sincerity. Why did you eliminate all of us without even letting us see him? And now you want us to leave behind our greeting gifts? Don't you think you're going a bit too far? Everyone, don't you think so? "
"......"
Absolute silence.
The troublemaker thought he'd be able to attract the envoys' support, but little did he know that all of them were keeping a respectful distance from him. The people next to him even shuffled to the side, afraid they'd be implicated if they stood next to him.
Clap, clap, clap.
Within the pavilion, Lady Providence clapped her hands and laughed. Suddenly, she transformed into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared. When she reappeared, she was already in front of the emissary.
"Well said. Very courageous."
Gulp.
The emissary couldn't help but gulp, then heard Lady Providence laugh.
"Do you know what kind of resources a Star-Lord needs to break through? Shang Zhongyong, you can learn it. A Star-Lord indeed has the talent to become a Saint, but without resources, he'll be reduced to a mortal. If you small factions want to use a Star-Lord to change the talents of your clansmen, then you'll need enough resources to support the Star-Lord's consumption. "
As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at the surrounding emissaries.
"Your clans' resources can't even compare to mine, yet you still dare to invite the Star-Lord into your clans? I and the Star-Lord are close friends, so shouldn't she be with me? But why didn't I ask her to stay? That's because I know my resources aren't enough to support her future path, so I had to choose a good place for her to go. Haven't you heard that a fine bird chooses a good tree to nest in? "
"As for you, brat......" Lady Providence's gaze fell on the troublemaker. "Just now, you slandered me about why I left you with a greeting gift, didn't you? Let me tell you, when a goose passes, you pluck its feathers, and when a beast leaves, you leave its skin. That's my rule. Understand? "
Thud.
The emissary could no longer resist Lady Providence's pressure and fell to the ground with a thud. Lady Providence called out to the surrounding emissaries.
"If you haven't reached the level I mentioned just now, scram!"
Whoosh.
The emissaries all left their greeting gifts, then fled in panic.
Before long, only ten remained in the courtyard.
"You......" Lady Providence arched her brows and smiled.
"Lady Providence, why are you still testing us? Just now, you said that all humans who aren't from the imperial clans and yao who aren't from the sacred clans should leave. Now that they've left, the ones left behind are naturally the human imperial clans, yao, and sacred clans. I don't think anyone would dare lie to you, Lady Providence. "
The speaker was a scholarly youth. His smile was filled with confidence. Even in front of Lady Providence, he was calm and collected.
"Then where are you from?"
"The Four Directions Pavilion!" replied the scholarly youth with a calm smile.
The Four Directions Pavilion was Emperor Bi 'an's faction, and could be considered the strongest of the human and yao clans. Whether it was in terms of resources or reputation, the Four Directions Pavilion was at the peak.
The way he saw it, it was inevitable that the Lord of Seven Stars would return with him.
The remaining men were visibly moved. Only one of them had a faint look of disdain in his eyes.
Lady Providence didn't notice the emissaries' expressions. She simply smiled and looked at the youth.
"Then which Highness of the Four Directions Pavilion are you?"
"You jest, Lady Providence. How could I possibly be a Highness of the Four Directions Pavilion? I'm just the Third Highness's page boy."
The scholarly youth smiled modestly, but inwardly, he was rather pleased with himself.
The Third Highness was the only one at Bi 'an's side who wielded power. Anyone who could be his page boy was definitely a man of distinction.
"Page boy?" Lady Providence smiled playfully, then shouted, "Scram!"
"Lady Providence......"
"Hm?" Lady Providence's expression darkened. "Who do you think you are, a mere page boy? You're not even a Highness. How dare you speak to me like that?"
"Lady Providence!"
