Let’s talk about Wu Tian.
He and Di Tian followed the Pavilion Master up to the ninth floor of Tianbao Pavilion and entered a luxuriously decorated VIP room.
"Master, Master Li, Master Ru, the tea is ready, please take a seat."
Immediately, a gentle voice sounded.
When Wutan and the other man looked over, they saw a fat man with a big belly, a fat head and big ears, standing upright next to the coffee table, looking at them with a smile on his face.
This person is Lu Ming!
"Junior greets the chief steward."
The two saluted.
"You two gentlemen are welcome, please!"
Lu Ming chuckled and made a gesture of invitation.
Wu Tian smiled politely, turned to look at the Pavilion Master of Tianbao Pavilion, and said: "Senior, forget about drinking tea, let's start the transaction directly!"
"What an anxious young man."
The Pavilion Master shook his head and said with a smile, "Please take a seat, my two friends. I have something else to deal with."
"Dealing with things?"
Wu Tian and the other man looked at each other, a hint of doubt flashed across their eyes.
Then, they found a chair to sit down, picked up the tea that Lu Ming had brewed in advance, and sipped it leisurely.
Now it was the Pavilion Master and the other two's turn to be stunned.
Weren't you very anxious before? Why are you so relaxed now
As if seeing the doubts in the two people's hearts, Di Tian smiled slightly and said, "Since we are here, let's make the best of it."
"These two young men are really hard to understand."
The two Pavilion Masters looked at each other, with a hint of helplessness in their eyes.
The Pavilion Master ordered, "Send the guard up here."
"good."
Lu Ming nodded and whispered, "Zheng Chuan, come to the VIP room on the ninth floor immediately."
…
At the same time, Zheng Chuan, who was standing in the corridor, changed his expression and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.
"Zheng Chuan, what's wrong with you?"
A guard nearby looked at him suspiciously.
Zheng Chuan looked at the man for help and said, "Zheng Hua, I'm in big trouble now, what do you think I should do?"
"Get into big trouble? What does that mean?" Zheng Hua was puzzled.
Zheng Chuan said anxiously: "It's Li Buluan and Ru Xiucai!"
“It turned out to be them.”
Zheng Hua suddenly realized and shook his head, "Zheng Chuan, I really can't help you with this matter."
Zheng Chuan said angrily: "Zheng Hua, we are good brothers, you can't just stand by and watch someone die!"
Zheng Hua sighed, "Zheng Chuan, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you really need to change your way of dealing with people. Think about it, if I hadn't stopped you today, I'm afraid you would have gotten into even bigger trouble. Hurry up and admit your mistakes, and apologize to Li Buluan and the other man. Maybe there will be a glimmer of hope."
"Alas, this is the only way. I hope Li Buluan and the other two are not the kind of people who like to haggle over small matters. Otherwise, we will be doomed this time."
Zheng Chuan sighed deeply and walked towards the ninth floor with heavy steps.
When he reached the door of the VIP room, he stopped, hesitated, and did not dare to push open the door in front of him.
"If you don't come in now, you'll never be able to go down."
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded in his mind.
"It's the Pavilion Master!"
Zheng Chuan was startled and didn't dare to hesitate any longer. He pushed open the door and walked in fearfully with a feeling of uneasiness in his heart.
"It's him?"
When Wutan and the other man looked at it, a hint of doubt appeared between their brows.
Zheng Chuan glanced at the two of them, knelt on one knee, and bowed respectfully: "Greetings to the Pavilion Master, Greetings to the General Manager."
The manager said: "Zheng Chuan, you should know why I asked you to come up, and I think you should also know what to do."
"I understand."
Zheng Chuan nodded, then turned to face Wu Tian and the other man. Without his initial disdain, he looked extremely respectful and said, "Mr. Li, Mr. Ru, I was blind before, so please forgive me."
“So it’s because of this.”
After hearing this, the two of them suddenly realized.
However, they didn't say anything, as if they didn't hear him, and they didn't even look at him, just sipping their tea.
Seeing this, Zheng Chuan's heart suddenly rose to his throat.
The head of Tianbao Pavilion said calmly: "Zheng Chuan, if you don't get their forgiveness today, then your life will be over."
Zheng Chuan's face suddenly changed, and he kowtowed and begged, "My two lords, I really know I was wrong. I beg you to forgive my previous unintentional offense. I beg you..."
"No intention?"
Wu Tian raised his eyebrows.
Zheng Chuan hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I didn't mean it..."
Wu Tian sneered: "So you did this on purpose?"
"No, no, no, I didn't mean to..."
Zheng Chuan was at a loss and didn't know how to explain.
Di Tian smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "I think forget it. After all, he is just a gatekeeper. The real power is held by certain people."
"Oh, what do you mean?"
Wutan said this and glanced at the manager of Tianbao Pavilion.
Di Tian also looked away and said with a smile: "If I'm not mistaken, Li Buluan's five-star VIP badge should be in the hands of the general manager!"
"No, these two are going to involve me too."
The butler's pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly apologized with a smile: "My two lords, the badge is indeed in my hands. I was planning to return it to you before, but due to various unexpected events, I forgot about it. I hope you will forgive me."
As he spoke, he took out the badge from his arms and handed it to Wutan with both hands.
Wu Tian glanced at him, but didn't answer. He said calmly, "It has been at least an hour since I entered the auction house. For us cultivators, we can do a lot in an hour. Master General Manager, don't you agree?"
"Yes, that's right. It's true. I was careless in this matter. If you want to blame me, I have nothing to say. But I still hope you can take back the badge."
The butler nodded repeatedly, with a hint of pleading in his tone.
Wu Tian still didn't answer and asked, "Zheng Chuan, didn't I say before that I don't want this badge?"
Zheng Chuan glanced at the steward, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.
Wu Tian looked at the steward again and said calmly: "Although Li's strength is low, he always keeps his word. Besides, to be honest, I don't care about the discounts you offer at Tianbao Pavilion. So, Mr. Steward, I'm sorry, you can keep this badge for yourself!"
Upon hearing this, the steward's fat face was suddenly filled with helplessness, and he could not help but look to the Pavilion Master for help.
The Pavilion Master smiled without saying anything, looking at Wutan and the other man with interest.
Wu Tian raised his eyebrows, put down the teacup, turned to look at the Pavilion Master, and said with a bow: "Master, I have something else to do, can we trade quickly?"
It was only then that the Pavilion Master spoke up and said with a smile, "Young people, don't be anxious. If I tell you that I will give each of you a ten-star VIP badge, will you refuse?"
"Ten stars!"
Upon hearing this, the steward and Zheng Chuan both trembled violently.
"Is the ten-star badge special?"
Seeing this, Wu Tian was puzzled, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "What good can I get out of listening before I decide?"
The Pavilion Master said, "Of course there are many benefits. First, you can enjoy a 10% discount. Second, you don't have to participate in the auction. The items you like will be sold to you directly at the market price. Third, at the critical moment, with the ten-star badge, you can ask Tianbao Pavilion for help. As long as it does not damage the relationship between Tianbao Pavilion, the Loose Cultivator Alliance, and the Heavenly Court, Tianbao Pavilion will not refuse."
Wu Tian and the other man looked at each other.
The first and second points can be fooled because they are almost the same as what Su Chengshan said at the beginning.
However, the third point is very important, because as long as one has a ten-star badge, it is equivalent to having the powerful backing of Tianbao Pavilion.
If it were someone else, they would definitely agree without hesitation.
However, Wutan and the other man had not been blinded by greed and were thinking hard in their hearts, what exactly was this person's purpose
Wu Tian said: "Master, I would like to ask you a question, why did you give us the ten-star badge?"
"Why..." The Pavilion Master hesitated for a moment and said with a smile, "It can be considered an investment!"
"invest?"
Upon hearing this, Wutan and the other two were even more confused.
Di Tian asked, "Master, I have a question in my mind. When you auctioned the Dark Essence, why did you add a condition that we cannot ask for help from others?"
"These two are really difficult little guys."
The Pavilion Master grumbled in his heart, but smiled and said, "I have always paid more attention to personal ability. If one has to rely on family background and relatives to make a name for himself, then no matter how talented one is, in my eyes he is just a mediocre person, such as Qin Fan."
"The Master's thoughts are really hard to fathom."
Di Tian shook his head.
If he believed these words, he would be too naive.
Because these gods are not good people, and they must have their own purposes for everything they do, so Wutan and the others secretly kept a watchful eye.
After exchanging a glance, Wu Tian asked, "Master, how many people currently possess the Ten-Star Badge?"
The Pavilion Master smiled and said, "In the entire Northern Territory, apart from you, there is only one person, and she is Xu Yi."
Wu Tian nodded and said, "Xu Yi is a rare genius in the world. It is reasonable for the Pavilion Master to value him."
"Xu Yi is indeed the young man I admire the most, but you also impress me. If I am not mistaken, you have only been practicing for about a thousand years!"
Hearing what the Pavilion Master said, the Butler and Zheng Chuan felt as if struck by lightning, and their bodies trembled violently!
No one would have expected that it would only take them about a thousand years to achieve what they have today!
Looking back, when they were that age, they were just an unknown little person.
No, he is not even a small person. At most, he is just an ant struggling for survival at the bottom of society.
Then, the Pavilion Master said, "You have been able to improve your strength to this level in more than a thousand years. Your talent is actually not inferior to Xu Yi's. But what really matters to me is, Li Buluan, your natural veins, and Ru Xiucai, your affinity for the element of fire."
Wu Tian and Di Tian looked at each other, as if they had reached some kind of consensus, and nodded at the same time.
Wu Tian bowed and said, "Thank you very much for your kindness, Pavilion Master, but we two juniors still have to refuse your kindness."
"reject?"
When these words were spoken, the General Manager and Zheng Chuan were petrified on the spot, and even the Pavilion Master was a little dazed.
