"Well!"
Dongfang Xiao was surprised, and Shi Jiaoyun was also surprised.
The meaning of Wutan's words is very clear, he is trying to find a job for Shi Jiaoyun!
No matter how glamorous and charming a receptionist may be, she is not very glorious in the eyes of outsiders and is often looked down upon. She may even be bullied in every way when facing guests with bad tempers or who are vulgar.
But there was one thing that confused Dongfang Xiao. What was the relationship between Wutan and Shi Jiaoyun, and why did he want to find a job for her
"Do you know each other?" Dongfang Xiao asked in confusion.
"We've only met a few times," Wutan smiled faintly.
"How many times have we met?" Dongfang Xiao became more and more confused and stared at Wutan strangely.
"Why, Pavilion Master Dongfang is unwilling to give me this little favor?" Wutan raised the corner of his mouth with a playful smile.
Upon hearing this, Shi Jiaoyun, who was standing by, felt confused, expectant, and a little bit nervous.
In fact, she really wanted to go forward and persuade him, but she was very eager for a higher position. After more than ten years as a receptionist, to be honest, she was already tired of it. Not only did she have to endure being bullied, but she also had to unconditionally satisfy the guests' shameless desires.
She had even planned that once she made some money and earned enough essence, she would leave here, live in seclusion in a small town, be an ordinary woman, have children, and never set foot in such a place again.
But if she could change her position and no longer be at the mercy of others, she would naturally be happy to do so, because she is a woman who never relies on men. She likes to do everything by herself and earn the life she wants through her own efforts.
However, what made her nervous was whether the Pavilion Master would buy into this man's account. Another point was why this man wanted to help her. In her memory, she really couldn't find any information about this man.
Dongfang Xiao glanced at Wutan and the other man, thinking about something, but finally smiled: "Shi Jiaoyun, from today on, you are the deputy leader of Wanbao Pavilion in Fengyang City."
It was not until this moment that a sincere smile appeared on Wutan's face.
However, Shi Jiaoyun was not as calm as Wutan. She was shocked and happy, and even felt confused and lost.
As the name suggests, the deputy pavilion master is the highest authority besides the pavilion master. In other words, in the Wanbao Pavilion of Fengyang City, the deputy pavilion master is second only to the first person and above everyone else.
This unexpected answer almost made Shi Jiaoyun confused. She thought that if the Pavilion Master really bought into this man's account, he would at most give her a manager position. However, she didn't expect that he would actually be the deputy Pavilion Master!
"Alright, I have already informed all the staff of Wanbao Pavilion about your new identity through voice transmission. After you go to Elder Mo to receive the identity token, you will officially become the deputy leader of Wanbao Pavilion. Please leave first. I have something to discuss with my friend Wu...
"Yes, thank you, Pavilion Master, thank you, Your Excellency," Shi Jiaoyun bowed hurriedly to express her gratitude, then happily left the private room and began to prepare to take the position.
After Shi Jiaoyun left, Dongfang Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I, Dongfang Xiao, have seen countless people, but I really can't understand your style of doing things. Please take a seat!"
After the two of them sat down, Dongfang Xiao didn't even make tea. Instead, he straightened his face and said, "Tell me what you want to see me about. Don't say you came to visit me specifically."
"Haha, Pavilion Master Dongfang should really want me to come!" Wu Tian asked without answering.
"really."
Dongfang Xiao did not deny it and admitted that the Pavilion Master had agreed to the conditions offered by the Sky-Swallowing Frog a month ago. However, when he rushed to Qinglong Island with Cang Zheng, he found that Wutan had disappeared without a trace. After inquiring from many sources, he did not find out any news, so he had to return to Zhongyao Island for the time being.
After a moment of silence, Wu Tian said, "I am very confused. Why do other sects want to kill me, but your Wanbao Pavilion is indifferent and even tolerates me in every way?"
"This is the instruction from the Pavilion Master. As for the reason, I really don't know," Dongfang Xiao said truthfully.
"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. Now that you're here, let's start the transaction."
Dongfang Xiao acted decisively without any hesitation. After a few pleasantries, he got straight to the point. With a flip of his hand, a mustard seed bag appeared and was thrown onto the coffee table with a "pop". Inside was exactly 10 million essences.
Wutan was not polite at all. He took a quick look at it and put it in his arms. However, he did not show any sign of taking out the dragon pendant. Instead, he made a cup of tea and tasted it with relish.
At that moment, Dongfang Xiao frowned and asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean?"
Wu Tian put down the teacup and smiled faintly: "To be honest, I have already given the dragon pendant to someone else. It is impossible for me to return it to you..."
"Are you kidding me!" Dongfang Xiao spoke gloomily before he finished speaking, and there was even a powerful aura gradually rising up.
"Yes, I originally planned to play a trick on you, but now I have changed my mind. Since I cannot return the dragon pendant, I can give you a treasure of the same value as the dragon pendant as compensation."
After some contact, Wutan felt that Dongfang Xiao's words and actions were full of kindness, which made him very confused and also made him change his original intention.
Wanbao Pavilion is spread all over Zhongyao Continent and is the largest trading place among the five continents. Countless treasures flow in and out of it every day. Perhaps among these treasures, there is one that Wutan needs.
Therefore, for now, it is best not to make the relationship with Wanbao Pavilion too strained. Some conflicts should be avoided if possible, which will only benefit him and not cause any harm.
"Is it?"
Dongfang Xiao sneered and said: "I believe you also know the value of the Dragon Pendant. As long as you find the Phoenix Pendant, the two will be integrated and can become the legendary holy weapon. Today I want to see what treasure you can come up with that can be compared with the value of the Dragon Pendant."
Wu Tian shook his head: "It is an indelible fact that the Dragon Pendant and the Phoenix Pendant can merge into a holy weapon. But has Pavilion Master Dongfang ever thought about whether the Phoenix Pendant really still exists? If it is still alive, can Wanbao Pavilion guarantee that it can obtain it 100%? If not, the Dragon Pendant is just an ordinary imperial weapon. What is its value?"
"The influence of our Wanbao Pavilion is spread all over Zhongyaozhou. As long as the Phoenix Pendant appears, it will definitely not escape our eyes and ears. When the time comes, once the strong men of Wanbao Pavilion show up, won't it be easy to capture it?"
"What if it didn't appear in Zhongyao Continent, but in other continents?" Wutan only said this sentence, and Dongfang Xiao was immediately speechless.
Although the Wanbao Pavilion is very powerful, it is only limited to Zhongyao Continent. In the other four continents, it is nothing at all. If the Phoenix Pendant appears, the chances of successfully competing for it are almost zero. Dongfang Xiao cannot deny this.
There is another point. Zhongyao Continent and the four major continents are currently connected by a Holy Forbidden Transmission Channel, which allows for fast cross-continental travel. If Feng Pei really appears in other continents, Wanbao Pavilion still has a chance to compete.
But if the Phoenix Pendant appears after the passage is closed, then, let alone snatching it, you may not even get any news about it.
"What do you want in compensation?"
At this moment, a pleasant voice suddenly rang out, followed by a purple figure that appeared out of thin air in the sight of Wutan and the other person amidst the flashing light.
Next to the purple figure stood a tall young man, also dressed in purple clothes. This man was Cang Zheng.
"Greetings, Pavilion Master! Greetings, Young Pavilion Master!" As the two arrived, Dongfang Xiao immediately stood up, bowed, and revealed the identity of the purple figure.
"Master of Wanbao Pavilion!"
Wu Tian's pupils shrank. Before this person appeared, he didn't even sense the slightest breath or abnormality. In fact, what surprised him the most was that the master who controlled the Wanbao Pavilion was actually a woman.
"boom!"
A murderous aura suddenly appeared, and it was as if an invisible storm was born in the private room. Several chairs and coffee tables were instantly shattered, even the chair under Wutan's buttocks. Fortunately, he got up in time to avoid making a fool of himself in public.
This terrifying murderous aura was naturally emitted by Cang Zheng. He stared at Wu Tian coldly, his face as gloomy as water, and gnashed his teeth and said, "You still dare to come to Wanbao Pavilion? Aren't you afraid that you can only go in but not out!"
The Heaven-Defying Domain emerged, wiping out all the energy. Wu Tian raised the corner of his mouth and said lightly: "When have you ever seen me do something I'm not sure of?"
"Don't be so arrogant. You should know that we are not in the Jueyin Ruins or Qinglongzhou now, but in Wanbao Pavilion. Here I am the king, and it is easy for me to kill you."
Cang Zheng's voice was icy and murderous, if his mother had not been there, he would have probably taken action.
"You can try and see who kills me first or I kill you first!" Wutan sneered, not caring at all about the presence of the Pavilion Master, and confronted Cang Zheng.
"you…"
"Zheng'er, have you forgotten what your mother told you?"
The Pavilion Master spoke, his calm tone carrying an irresistible pressure. Cang Zheng immediately shut his mouth, glared at Wutan fiercely, then stood quietly aside, sulking.
"This heaven-defying realm that is rarely seen in a hundred thousand years is indeed extraordinary."
The Pavilion Master chuckled, and then the mist surrounding him quickly dissipated, revealing his true face.
This is a woman of extraordinary beauty and grace, with a graceful figure. The passage of time and the hardships of life have not left any trace of aging on her face, making her look like a young girl of 28 years old, with flawless skin, as if carved from precious jade, glowing with a striking radiance.
Wutan was fine when he saw the Pavilion Master's true face, but Cang Zheng and Dongfang Xiao were quite surprised. You know, the Pavilion Master would not show his true face when facing the masters of the Forbidden Sect and the Weapon Sect.
It can even be said that, apart from the few people in Wanbao Pavilion, no one has ever seen the Pavilion Master's true face. But when facing Wutan, she actually took the initiative to show her true face!
This shows how much the Pavilion Master values Wu Tian.
The Pavilion Master smiled slightly and said, "Wutian, my request is not excessive. How about giving two pieces of imperial weapons as compensation to Wanbao Pavilion?"
"Master, please think twice."
Dongfang Xiao frowned, because he had to consider that Feng Pei would appear in Zhongyaozhou.
If one day, the Phoenix Pendant appears not in the Four Continents but in Zhongyao Continent, then with the huge power of Wanbao Pavilion, it will not be difficult to obtain it.
And if we don't take the Dragon Pendant back now, even if we get the Phoenix Pendant later, we will only be able to watch helplessly.
"Mother, Uncle Dongfang is right. If we really get the Phoenix Pendant, wouldn't it be a waste of a powerful holy weapon?"
Cang Zheng nodded in agreement.
"You don't have to worry. We have our own plans."
The Pavilion Master smiled faintly at the two of them, then looked at Wutan, waiting for his reply.
