Patter!
Chu Xingyun and the other two landed outside the Wanjian Palace and strode forward.
"He's Luo Yun? He's so young! "
"The Sword Master Ceremony is about to begin. All the Sword Masters and Pavilion Masters have been waiting for a long time, but he came at the last moment. His cultivation isn't high, but he's quite arrogant."
"I heard that he went to the Sword Pagoda a few days ago. I wonder what he got. Normally, if one wants to enter the Sword Pagoda, one has to make a great contribution to the Wanjian Pavilion and go through a lot of checks. However, he can enter directly.
It's been three days since Chu Xingyun entered the Wanjian Pavilion. Everyone in the Wanjian Pavilion naturally knew of his existence.
However, it was the first time the vast majority of people had seen Chu Xingyun. In an instant, sounds of envy, jealousy, and astonishment filled the air, causing the entire space to become chaotic.
There was no lack of female disciples in the crowd.
The moment they saw Chu Xingyun, their eyes flashed with amazement. Many female disciples' cheeks were dyed with a touch of crimson, and their hearts were beating faster.
After the baptism of the Nine-Star Water Lily, Chu Xingyun's appearance became extremely handsome. His figure was tall and straight, and his footsteps were like the wind. There was also an elegant and unruly temperament that emanated from his body.
More importantly, Chu Xingyun's talent was extremely tyrannical. He had the Aurora Sword Essence.
Wanjian Pavilion had been passed down for thousands of years, and there were only two people who had a Level Nine Sword Essence.
One was Baili Kuangsheng.
The other was Chu Xingyun.
Baili Kuangsheng was Fan Wujie's last disciple. He had been in the sect for many years, but his character was extremely eccentric. If he didn't say anything, he would start a massacre. He was like a blood-soaked God of Slaughter, and no one dared to approach him.
On the other hand, Chu Xingyun's eyes were deep and gloomy. There was even a faint smile hanging at the corner of his mouth. He was like a wise man who had experienced the world of mortals, but also like a gentle youth. It was hard to forget him with just a glance.
Therefore, for many female disciples, Chu Xingyun's appearance was very shocking, and their minds were in a mess.
Chu Xingyun didn't care about the gazes of the crowd. At this moment, he had already arrived at the center of the Myriad Sword Hall. He bowed with both hands and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "Luo Yun is late. Please punish me, Pavilion Master."
"The timing is just right. What punishment is there to speak of?" Fan Wujie laughed lightly. He gestured for Chu Xingyun to take a seat with his palm.
Chu Xingyun retreated to the back and glanced around with a puzzled expression.
Other than him, there were a total of 19 Sword Masters in the Wanjian Pavilion. However, at this moment, only 18 of them were present. Baili Kuangsheng wasn't present.
"Baili Kuangsheng has already gone out to train. He won't be attending the Sword Master Ceremony this time," Yun Changqing seemed to have seen through Chu Xingyun's puzzlement. He lowered his voice and explained to Chu Xingyun.
He paused and added, "However, with Baili Kuangsheng's temperament, even if he was in the Wanjian Pavilion right now, I'm afraid he won't attend the Sword Master Ceremony. He's used to being alone. Even the Pavilion Master can't restrict him."
"Then this Baili Kuangsheng really lives up to his name. He's arrogant and unruly." Chu Xingyun shook his head and smiled. He retracted his gaze and sat cross-legged in a corner. He didn't want to think too much.
At this moment, Fan Wujie stood up and took a step forward.
In an instant, the noisy discussion dissipated. Everyone shut their mouths and looked into the distance. They all looked at Fan Wujie and waited quietly.
"Everyone!"
Fan Wujie finally spoke. His voice wasn't loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone. He said, "According to the rules of the Pavilion, Luo Yun will be the Honorary Sword Master today. Do you have any objections?"
After he finished speaking, silence remained.
The rules of the Wanjian Pavilion had been passed down for thousands of years. No one could violate them. Moreover, Chu Xingyun's Aurora Sword Essence had already surpassed the ninth level. It was perfectly justified for him to be the Honorary Sword Master. No one had any objections.
"Since no one has any objections, I hereby announce that Luo Yun will be the second Honorary Sword Master of the Wanjian Pavilion!" Fan Wujie's voice became louder and louder. At the end of his speech, he suddenly looked at Chu Xingyun and lightly tapped his finger, releasing a golden brilliance.
The brilliance fell from the sky and landed in Chu Xingyun's hand. It was a token made of gold. On the surface of the token, the word "Honorary" was carved. It emitted a sharp aura.
This golden token was made of ordinary materials and wasn't worthy of praise. However, with it, Chu Xingyun would officially become the Honorary Sword Master of the Wanjian Pavilion. His status was second only to Fan Wujie. Any disciple who saw him would have to bow and greet him respectfully.
"Thank you, Pavilion Master," Chu Xingyun thanked him. With a wave of his hand, he wore the token on his waist.
Fan Wujie still had a smile on his face. He looked at the eighteen Sword Masters behind him and said, "After Luo Yun becomes the Sword Master, he should have a portion of the authority. Which of the three branches has a vacancy?"
"Pavilion Master, there just happens to be a vacancy in the internal affairs branch!"
Almost at the same time, Chang Chixiao stood up and said in a clear voice, "In recent years, the strength of our pavilion has been increasing day by day. The amount of cultivation resources we can allocate has also increased. However, the seven of us already have important positions and can't leave to deal with this matter. Why don't we let Sword Master Luo Yun take up this position?"
"Sword Master Luo Yun has just entered the Wanjian Pavilion and doesn't know much about the Wanjian Pavilion. Him taking up this position is undoubtedly the best choice!" Qin Qiumo echoed as he looked at Chu Xingyun with a smile.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, the seven Sword Masters of the law enforcement branch all opened their eyes and looked at them in shock.
The internal affairs branch was in charge of all matters in the Wanjian Pavilion. As long as their methods were well hidden, they could secretly reap a lot of benefits. Therefore, the seven Sword Masters of the internal affairs branch were either wealthy or respectable. They had an extremely rich foundation.
The allocation of cultivation resources in the sect was very important. Not only could they allocate many disciples, but they could also secretly take some cultivation resources. It was an important position with power and benefits.
Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo actually handed over this position so straightforwardly. This caught them off guard.
On the other side, the four Sword Masters of the Technique Imparting Division also widened their eyes. However, they weren't surprised. Instead, they lowered their gazes and vaguely felt that something was wrong.
As for Chu Xingyun, his expression didn't even change. His heart was cold.
The allocation of cultivation resources in the sect was indeed important. However, Chu Xingyun knew very well that if he took up this position, he would belong to the internal affairs branch.
Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo were the leaders of the internal affairs branch. Both of them had a grudge against him.
As long as Chu Xingyun joined the internal affairs branch, the first thing they would do would probably be to strip Chu Xingyun of all his real power and make him a puppet Sword Master.
Furthermore, the two of them had been in charge of the internal affairs branch for many years. They had already secretly deployed a large number of spies. Once Chu Xingyun joined the branch, it would be no different from falling into their surveillance. His every move would be difficult to hide, let alone nurture his own confidants.
First, they would strip him of his real power. Then, they would put Chu Xingyun under surveillance.
