1062.1 Prefecture 9 Pavilion
The fact that Huo Zhi was put in charge of the training of the younger generation was indeed a bit of a surprise to everyone.
Logically, such matters should be handled by someone of high moral standing and rich experience. However, considering Huo Zhi's performance in the surprise attack and her current strength as a one-star Dou Sheng, no one had any particular objection. After all, Huo Zhi had successfully proven her strength; among so many young people in the alliance, besides Xiao Yan and Qing Lin, she was truly the third strongest.
Qinglin and Xiao Yan have already taken on more important responsibilities and cannot become role models for those who come after them, so it is appropriate for Huo Zhi to take on those responsibilities.
"The ninth is the Tongchen Pavilion. Currently, there are many powerful individuals in my manor, but there is also a huge problem: there are barriers in terms of race and bloodline. In the long run, this is not conducive to the alliance. The Tongchen Pavilion is mainly responsible for arranging marriages when both parties are willing to marry, so that the powerful individuals in the alliance can have offspring. The tentative pavilion master is Venerable Feng."
The emergence of the Ninth Pavilion was somewhat unexpected. Guiyuan Prefecture boasted numerous powerful figures, and the existing factions harbored divisions and animosity—a fact everyone was aware of. This wasn't due to personal grudges or conflicts, but rather the biggest influencing factor: differences in bloodline and race. Beasts have their own logic, while humans have their own way of doing things, which is why these divisions arose.
Now the alliance is formed, Guiyuan Prefecture is established, and even the Nine Pavilions have been arranged in a very proper manner.
With the addition of three major monster families, although humans remain the mainstream, monsters are an absolutely formidable force.
As time goes by, normal integration will occur within the alliance, and it's inevitable that humans and magical beasts will come together. Little Fairy Doctor established the Ninth Pavilion primarily to prepare for such situations. However, unlike the other pavilion masters with clearly defined roles, being the head of the Tongchen Pavilion is essentially like being a matchmaker. And the choice of person wasn't female; instead, it was Venerable Wind, which left him with a slightly annoyed expression.
Seeing this, Yao Lao, as an old friend of many years, said with a hint of sarcasm, "Originally, someone else was to be chosen as the leader of this last pavilion, but I felt that Venerable Feng was the most suitable, so I specially selected him."
Upon hearing this, Venerable Feng's pent-up frustration turned entirely towards Elder Yao: "What do you mean, old man?"
The old apothecary coughed, a playful smile appearing on his face: "Everyone knows what Tongchen Pavilion will do in the future. Venerable Feng and Elder Mu Zier of the Tianluan Clan are deeply in love and their marriage is already arranged. They are a model for everyone. There is no one more suitable than you to be the Pavilion Master of Tongchen Pavilion."
Venerable Feng and Mu Zier of the Tianluan Clan were already deeply in love, and they should have been together long ago. However, because of the disappearance of Elder Yao, Venerable Feng felt for a long time that he would eventually have to confront the Soul Palace directly. Although he was not afraid at all, he still felt that being with Mu Zier was not the best choice, so he deliberately avoided this relationship.
Afterwards, Xiao Yan arrived in Zhongzhou and relayed the news about Yao Lao to Venerable Feng. He then brought Yao Lao back and successfully revived him. Venerable Feng was reunited with his old friend, his long-cherished wish was fulfilled, and naturally, he and Mu Zi'er came together. Yao Lao knew their situation all too well, and his words were, of course, a way of using the alliance's cause to shut Venerable Feng down.
However, out of respect for their friendship, Venerable Feng naturally couldn't humiliate Elder Yao in public, so he immediately devised a way to retaliate against Elder Yao.
"Very well, very well, the first thing I will do upon assuming the position of Pavilion Master is to officiate Elder Yao Chen's wedding!"
Upon hearing this, Yao Lao inwardly cursed. If Venerable Feng had said that on a normal day, it wouldn't have been so bad. However, today was a gathering of important figures from Guiyuan Prefecture, with Fairy Hua and the two women in black robes both present. Hearing such explosive news about Yao Chen's marriage, they naturally both turned their gazes to Yao Lao. However, a wedding, generally speaking, can only be held by one man and one woman. Now that Yao Lao hadn't discussed it with them beforehand, Venerable Feng had so directly brought it up, making the question of who he would marry a real problem.
As best friends, Yao Lao and Feng Zun Zhe knew each other well and had a deep understanding of each other's backgrounds. Therefore, his counterattack was quite appropriate in terms of strength.
The reputation of Yao Lao for his romantic affairs had spread throughout Zhongzhou, and the veteran experts had naturally heard of him. At this moment, the originally serious atmosphere was instantly broken, and many people were waiting for Yao Lao's answer with a "let's watch the show" mentality.
"I'm getting old, so there's no need to rush these things. After Venerable Feng takes over as Pavilion Master, the most important thing is to keep the younger generation in check." Faced with Venerable Feng's "framing," Elder Yao naturally wouldn't fall for it. He chuckled and successfully changed the subject.
This little incident lightened everyone's mood considerably, allowing them to better consider the proposed Nine Pavilions plan put forward by Little Fairy Doctor. Little Fairy Doctor's introduction was quite simple, leaving everyone with plenty of room for interpretation, and they were also thinking about how they should phrase it.
"I'd like to know how this Pavilion Master status should be transferred to someone else?" Old Ancestor Danta asked first.
Since he asked that question, it's clear that's what he intended to do. Unlike other powerful figures, the Pill Tower Ancestor is inherently freedom-loving. If Guiyuan Mansion doesn't encounter any major problems, he'd much rather travel and enjoy the scenery across the continent. Now, he's been given the position of Pavilion Master, and it's arguably one of the most important of the Nine Pavilions, the Green Wood Pavilion, responsible for supplying pills. He'll definitely be involved in many mundane affairs in the future.
This is not good news for the Pill Tower Ancestor, since he himself hadn't really exhausted himself while managing the Pill Tower. The best solution, of course, is to relinquish this position to someone more suitable and skilled in this field.
"The exchange of pavilion masters' identities is mainly initiated by the original pavilion master, followed by a vote at the Star Pavilion. As long as more than three-quarters of the people agree, it will be fine."
"Hmm, it's good that we can change people." Receiving a clear reply, the old patriarch of Danta was relieved. He had no interest in being put in charge.
"Of course, this plan is just my personal idea at the moment, and there are definitely many immature aspects. We can implement it for a short period of time and make timely adjustments based on feedback." Little Fairy Doctor is not an arrogant person and does not think that the plan she comes up with is perfect and without any problems.
