“Apologize? Apologize to you? On what basis?”

Gu Xi smiled disdainfully, as if she had heard a joke.

It was Zhang Zhan who had started the matter, and in the end, he was asking for an apology? Besides, how could a guy who was not even in the Saint stage be qualified?

“Logically speaking, you were brought here by Pavilion Master Tong, and it seems that you are not a disciple of my Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. I should treat you with respect, but your stubborn mouth really makes me unhappy!”

Zhang Zhan exercised his muscles and bones, and a series of crackling sounds burst out from his body. A faint wave of spirit energy surged out from his body. It was obvious that he was ready to teach Gu Xi a good lesson.

“I hope you really have the ability.” Gu Xi shrugged, and looked at Zhang Zhan as if he was looking at a child.

Zhang Zhan’s cultivation realm was not bad among the other disciples. He had the cultivation of a half-step Saint, but in Gu Xi’s eyes, he was like an ant. He did not even need more than one hand to cripple this kid.

“What are you doing?” At this moment, a deep voice sounded from outside the hall.

Everyone could not help but look in the direction of the voice. They saw Tong Shan and Tang Conglin, the Pavilion Master of Lanjiang City Branch, walking slowly toward them.

“Pavilion Master Tang, Pavilion Master Tong.”

Recognizing their identities, everyone present bowed one after another. Only Gu Xi and the other two stood up and bowed slightly, which was considered a bow.

Tong Shan and the other two did not feel that their actions were inappropriate. However, Zhang Zhan was shocked when he saw this scene. He frowned and shot a malicious glance at Gu Xi and the other two. He said in a strange tone, “You don’t even bow when you see the Branch Master of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. The three of you are really impressive!”

After he said this, the other disciples present also nodded in agreement.

In their opinion, Gu Xi and the other two were about the same age as them. Even if they were not disciples of the Thousand Treasures Pavilion, how could they not be polite?

However, they did not intend to speak up because of the presence of the two Branch Masters. After all, it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble. However, Zhang Zhan did not think so. He was not on good terms with Gu Xi to begin with, and now that he had something to hold over him, how could he not speak up?

However, although the younger generation present were in agreement, Tong Shan and Tang Conglin’s expressions were clearly stiff, especially Tong Shan’s. He looked at Zhang Zhan as if he wanted to slap him to death here.

Others might not know, but he knew it very well!

Gu Xi and the other two were people who could force even existences like the Hall of Flowing Light to close their sects. Was this Zhang Zhan crazy?! How would he dare to provoke them?!

Gu Xi didn’t intend to continue paying attention to Zhang Zhan who was looking for trouble. Instead, his gaze fell on Tong Shan, who was not far away.

Their gazes met for a moment, and Tong Shan immediately understood. He hurriedly laughed and said, “It’s alright. After all, the three of them are not disciples of our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. It’s fine if they don’t follow our customs.”

Hearing this, the expressions of the few disciples immediately became strange. Among them, Zhang Zhan’s expression was especially outstanding, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

Although their Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion was a Chamber of Commerce and could not be considered a proper sect, it was still the number one Chamber of Commerce in the world! Usually, the internal rules of the Chamber of Commerce were even stricter than those of some sects, especially in terms of etiquette. After all, if the etiquette was done well, it would leave a good impression on people, and at the same time, it would have a better chance to expand the trade routes and develop the Chamber of Commerce more effectively.

However, what Tong Shan said now was completely contrary to the rules of their Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. After all, Tong Shan was a Branch Pavilion Master of the Jingyang Branch Pavilion, so he should pay more attention to etiquette!

“But since they are not disciples of our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, then why…” Zhang Zhan was obviously unwilling to give up. He opened his mouth, wanting to continue making things difficult for Gu Xi and the other two.

“Enough. Don’t forget why you are here today.”

Before he could finish, Tang Conglin interrupted him.

As a Branch Master, and after Tong Shan had roughly learned about the deeds of Gu Xi and the other two, he would naturally not let Zhang Zhan provoke them. Otherwise, if Gu Xi and the other two were unhappy, then… The consequences would be…

Perhaps Gu Xi and the other two were not much of a threat compared to the main pavilion of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. However, the three of them could take care of the Hall of Flowing Light. It was more than enough to take care of a small branch of the pavilion.

Zhang Zhan must not be allowed to cause trouble!

Tang Cong Lin and Tong Shan came to the head of the hall and sat down. The former swept his gaze over the people in the hall and asked in a deep voice, “Is everyone here?”

“Senior Brother Hou Yu is the only one who hasn’t arrived yet,” the female disciple who tried to mediate the situation earlier replied.

For some reason, the moment the name Hou Yu was mentioned, the expressions of everyone present changed. Even Zhang Zhan revealed a trace of fear from the bottom of his heart.

“It’s that guy again. He’s always the last one to arrive.”

Tang Conglin shook his head helplessly, as if he had no choice.

Tong Shan, who was standing by the side, also revealed a bitter smile. “Let’s wait for a while. After all, he is the Favored Son of Heaven in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion of the entire Eastern Continent.”

Upon hearing this, even Gu Xi could not help but become interested in Hou Yu.

The Favored Son of Heaven in the entire Eastern Continent? Judging from the changes in the expressions of Zhang Zhan and the others, it was likely that the so-called Hou Yu was a genuine Saint.

However, was he in the early or middle stage of the Saint stage?

The atmosphere in the hall quickly fell into silence again. As time passed, everyone waited patiently for the arrival of the so-called Favored Son of Heaven, Hou Yu.

Even Tong Shan and Tang Conglin, who were the Branch Pavilion Masters, showed a slightest hint of anxiety or displeasure on their faces. This was enough to prove Hou Yu’s status in the pavilion on the Eastern Continent.

On the other hand, Gu Xi and the other two people, except for Little Jiu who was still unmoved, had ugly expressions on their faces. In fact, they were getting uglier and uglier.

Almost two hours had passed since they began to wait for the so-called Favored Son of Heaven!

Although two hours was not a long time, the three of them did not come here to wait for a guy they had never met before!

“Pavilion Masters, if that guy isn’t coming, I’m afraid that I will have to excuse myself.”

A few minutes later, there was still no movement from outside the door. Gu Xi had really lost his patience and could not help but open his mouth to remind them.
