Chapter 239

~8 min read 1,478 words

There were too many people outside Qihuang Pavilion No. 1, and it was impossible to squeeze in.

Hua Changxi thought that there would definitely be opportunities to listen to Mu Qingying's lectures in the future, and just as she was hesitating whether to leave, a group of young cultivators led by Meng Qingyao arrived.

"Make way!"

"Make way!"

Outside the impassable Qihuang Pavilion No. 1, the crowded crowd saw the newcomers and immediately squeezed back to the left and right, clearing the road in the middle.

After the road was cleared, Meng Qingyao's group walked calmly towards Qihuang Pavilion No. 1.

"Pavilion Master Hua!"

Dongfang Hao was a careful and cautious person who paid extra attention to the surrounding environment, and soon noticed Hua Changxi standing in the crowd.

Because of his voice, Meng Qingyao and the others walking in front stopped and looked at Hua Changxi in unison.

Seeing Hua Changxi, Meng Qingyao immediately invited her with a smile: "Pavilion Master Hua is here too. Let's go into the pavilion together."

Hua Changxi looked at her, then looked at the crowded people on the left and right, and refused with a smile: "No, I'm not used to this."

Hearing her refusal, Meng Qingyao's face stiffened, while Dongfang Hao's gaze flickered.

Not used to it?

Dongfang Hao looked around, his face full of doubt. What is Hua Changxi not used to?

"Hmph~"

Seeing Hua Changxi treat his sister's kindness so slowly and not give face, Meng Yuchuan immediately sarcastically said: "Pavilion Master Hua's airs are really big."

"You didn't give Senior Xia face before, and today you don't give the Spirit Realm Pavilion Master face. Don't you know the word 'rules'?"

Hua Changxi looked at Meng Yuchuan: "Who are you?"

Meng Yuchuan was almost driven to a breakdown by Hua Changxi's light question. He was at least the brother of the Spirit Realm Pavilion Master, and during this time he had helped his sister manage one of the two high-grade secret realms, and he had recognized all the powerful and wealthy people in the capital. He didn't expect to be ignored so thoroughly by Hua Changxi.

"Hua Changxi, listen carefully, my name is Meng Yuchuan, and I am the brother of the Spirit Realm Pavilion Master."

Hua Changxi glanced at Meng Qingyao and asked again with a smile: "What Spirit Realm Pavilion? Why don't I know about it?"

She admitted that she was angry about being excluded and isolated from the Spirit Realm Pavilion. Since the Spirit Realm Pavilion meeting didn't call her, she simply didn't recognize the Spirit Realm Pavilion.

Sure enough, as soon as she said this, it immediately attracted frequent attention from everyone.

Seeing Hua Changxi being so stupid as to expose her own shortcomings, Meng Yuchuan said impolitely: "Pavilion Master Hua has big airs and is unwilling to cooperate with the secret realm masters, so the Spirit Realm Pavilion didn't call you for the first meeting."

"Pavilion Master Hua, you wouldn't be angry because of this, would you?"

Hua Changxi looked at Meng Yuchuan with a smile, but her peripheral vision was paying attention to Meng Qingyao, and she didn't respond immediately.

This reaction, in Meng Yuchuan's eyes, was Hua Changxi putting on a brave front, and then he smiled again: "If Pavilion Master Hua wants to join the Spirit Realm Pavilion, you only need to obtain the pavilion master's consent."

"As long as the pavilion master allows it, you can participate in the next meeting, and you won't even know what the Spirit Realm Pavilion is."

Hearing this, Hua Changxi laughed out loud: "Meng Yuchuan, right? I think your brain is not very good. I don't know about the Spirit Realm Pavilion, and I didn't participate in your so-called meeting, so how could I recognize any Spirit Realm Pavilion Master?"

Meng Qingyao is the pride of the Meng family. Being ignored, Meng Yuchuan couldn't hold back anymore.

"Hua Changxi, don't go too far."

Seeing Meng Yuchuan jumping with anger, Hua Changxi felt great: "How did I go too far? I didn't join the Spirit Realm Pavilion, so it's very normal for me not to recognize the pavilion master you elected."

Meng Yuchuan had never met anyone who spoke without considering the consequences, and he was so angry he didn't know how to counterattack: "You... the Spirit Realm Pavilion is supported by Senior Xia and Senior Gu. How dare you not recognize it?"

The smile on Hua Changxi's face deepened: "I just don't recognize it. What can you do?"

Seeing that her brother's emotions were completely controlled by Hua Changxi, Meng Qingyao had to stand out: "Pavilion Master Hua, the Spirit Realm Pavilion is on Ninth Street. Whether you recognize it or not, it's there!"

After speaking, she looked at Meng Yuchuan.

"Brother, Fellow Daoist Mu is about to start teaching. Let's hurry into the pavilion."

As she spoke, she looked at Hua Changxi again.

"Since Pavilion Master Hua is not used to being with us, then please do as you please."

Watching Meng Qingyao walk away without giving her a chance to counterattack, Hua Changxi felt a bit stifled.

This Meng Qingyao is much stronger than her brother. Her few words made her look like the one who was making trouble unreasonably.

"What are you still standing there for?"

Gu Xing, accompanied by Sun Po, also came to Pavilion No. 1. Seeing Hua Changxi standing still, worried that she would leave in a fit of pique, he could only give a hint.

Sun Po also kept winking at Hua Changxi: "Changxi, hurry up and follow."

Seeing that Gu Xing actually came to listen to the lecture, Hua Changxi was somewhat surprised. After hesitating for a moment, she still took Pharmacist Xu and the eight others into Pavilion No. 1.

When stepping into the pavilion gate, Hua Changxi stopped and looked back at the people who could only stay outside the pavilion.

After entering Pavilion No. 1, Gu Xing was led directly to the front position. Hua Changxi didn't follow, but stood at the courtyard gate.

Today is the first public lecture by the Qihuang Pavilion masters. Compared to the pavilion masters chosen by power before, the current pavilion masters either obtained wooden plaques or obtained Divine Wood Secret Realms.

It can be said that they are all people recognized by the Pill Sacred Hall!

Being able to be recognized by the Pill Sacred Hall, they must have extraordinary skills in medicine and alchemy. It is because of this idea that so many people came to listen.

But the Qihuang Pavilion is only so big and cannot hold too many people. Those who can enter the pavilion to listen to the lecture today all have strong connections and backgrounds.

Among them, there are many people whose ambition is not in alchemy and medicine at all. They are here to probe the strength of each pavilion master.

Such as representatives of the imperial family like Prince Shou, representatives of nobles and high officials like the Xin State Duke.

Watching the best positions occupied by a group of laymen, Hua Changxi suddenly felt that there was nothing worth listening to in today's lecture.

"Pavilion Master Hua!"

Huo Yunxiao saw Hua Changxi and walked over quickly: "I saved a seat for you. Come, let's go inside and sit."

Hua Changxi glanced at the powerful and wealthy crowd sitting in the pavilion and stood still: "No need."

The dispute between Hua Changxi and the Meng siblings outside the pavilion just now was watched by everyone inside. Seeing Hua Changxi pushing people away again, Huo Yunxiao felt a bit angry in his heart.

To be honest, if it weren't for Hua Changxi being able to produce top-grade pills, and if it weren't for her controlling a high-grade secret realm, he really wouldn't want to interact with someone like her.

Too hard to serve!

Hua Changxi noticed the flash of annoyance in Huo Yunxiao's eyes: "You are a cultivator. Cultivators cultivate the heart. Being too aggrieved is not conducive to cultivation."

Huo Yunxiao's face stiffened, a bit embarrassed, and a bit surprised.

What's embarrassing is that his thoughts were seen through by Hua Changxi; what's surprising is that Hua Changxi is giving him a hint?

Huo Yunxiao was silent for a moment, then returned to his smiling appearance: "If Pavilion Master Hua could be kinder to me and not so resistant to me, I wouldn't be aggrieved."

Hua Changxi looked over: "But if that were the case, the one who would be aggrieved would be me."

Huo Yunxiao: "..."

Seeing him unconvinced, Hua Changxi smiled: "You try to influence me with your will. Even if you are aggrieved, you are asking for it."

"I maintain myself, but in the eyes of people like you, it becomes my fault."

"Fellow Daoist Huo, do you think we are on the same path?"
