Chapter 1162 - 1097: Is the Outcome Already Decided?
"Could it be that this woman really likes me?"
Qin Feiyang caught a glimpse of Wang Youer’s expression and couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease in his heart.
Being liked by someone is a cheerful thing.
Especially when it comes to someone like Wang Youer, who is not only pretty but also talented, with a strong family background.
But Qin Feiyang did not feel any happiness.
Only worry!
"What’s going on?"
"Why hasn’t the leader of the God Python Tribe arrived yet?"
Suddenly.
The leader of the Diamond Tribe spoke suspiciously.
"Indeed!"
"We haven’t seen him at all."
Everyone else responded, their faces full of confusion.
The leader of the Diamond Tribe looked at Fu An-shan and asked, "Brother Fu, didn’t you invite him?"
"Yes, I did!"
Fu An-shan nodded, thought about it, and smiled, "Maybe something held him up, let’s wait a bit longer."
"I’m late, please forgive me."
But before the words fell, an elderly voice sounded from above.
Everyone looked up to see a red-haired elderly man standing high in the sky, wearing a vibrant red robe, exuding an unfathomable aura!
But upon closer inspection, one could see an unremovable worry between his brows.
"You are..."
"Aren’t you the great clan elder from the God Python Tribe? Why are you here?"
"Where’s your leader?"
The leader of the Diamond Tribe and others looked at him in surprise and doubt.
"Our leader was delayed by important matters and couldn’t come personally, so he let me come to attend the ceremony. I deeply apologize."
The red-haired elder smiled.
Fu An-shan gestured and said, "No worries, no worries, it is a great honor for Brother Fu to have the great clan elder come in person, please sit down."
The red-haired elder smiled, descended directly beside Qin Feiyang, and sat on the chair next to him, transmitting, "Young friend, could you tell me where our leader and the High Priest are now?"
"How would I know where your leader and the High Priest are?"
Qin Feiyang’s eyes flashed, and he turned, looking at the red-haired elder with doubt.
"Young friend, honest words are the best policy."
"Last night, your elder brother came to our God Python Tribe, then left with the leader and the High Priest, and hasn’t returned yet."
"I tried to send them messages, but they disappeared without a trace."
"Young friend, I don’t know what grievances you have with our leader, but please do not harm him."
The red-haired elder implored.
Qin Feiyang laughed, "With my abilities, how could I harm him? Sir, I truly don’t know; perhaps after the ceremony, I can ask my elder brother?"
"Thank you very much."
The red-haired elder expressed gratitude.
"Pavilion Master, the Deputy Pavilion Master has arrived."
At this time.
Yan Wei’s voice sounded again.
The square immediately fell silent, with everyone looking up to see two elders standing up in the sky.
One was wearing a white long robe, full of energy, bright-eyed, and had an outstanding temperament.
The other was wearing a black long robe, with white hair, a hunched body, weak aura, and dim eyes.
"Greetings to the Pavilion Master and Deputy Pavilion Master!"
Fu An-shan, Mo Yizhen, and Lie Yuan, as well as the three Grand Stewards, the Trading Pavilion staff, and the guards, kneeled to welcome them.
"Greetings to the two elders."
Qin Feiyang, the eight tribal leaders, the red-haired elder, and the young lady from the Dragon Phoenix Building also stood up to bow.
"There’s no need for formalities."
The Trading Pavilion Master, in his pristine white robes, looked at everyone below, his face brimming with a smile, then turned to the black-robed elder and said, "Let’s go down!"
The black-robed elder nodded.
The two descended to the center of the square, then walked directly to Qin Feiyang in everyone’s gaze.
The black-robed elder cupped his hands and said, "I’ve long heard of your great name, young friend, and meeting you today, you truly are a dragon among men!"
"He is the Deputy Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion."
Wang Youer transmitted the message.
Qin Feiyang nodded and smiled, "Senior is too kind, I dare not accept the title of a dragon among men."
"Ah, young men are full of vigor, no need to be so modest, otherwise, when you’re old like me, there’ll be no chance to take pride."
The black-robed elder laughed hoarsely.
Qin Feiyang looked into the elder’s cloudy eyes, seeing that his end was indeed near, yet the elder’s face showed no fear of death, calm and serene, "The mindset of senior is something I must learn more of."
The black-robed elder shook his head with a smile, "There’s nothing worth learning from someone who’s almost in the ground."
Mo Yizhen glanced at Qin Feiyang and respectfully said, "Would the two lords please take a seat?"
"Hmm."
The two nodded.
The Trading Pavilion Master looked at Qin Feiyang and said, "Young friend, let’s chat after the succession ceremony, shall we?"
"That would be my honor."
Qin Feiyang smiled.
The Trading Pavilion Master smiled and, together with the black-robed elder, walked to the central main seats, turned, and sat side by side.
The black-robed elder glanced at everyone, looked at Mo Yizhen, and said, "Let’s begin!"
"Yes!"
Mo Yizhen replied respectfully, stepped onto the stage at the front, scanned the audience, and smiled, "Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the Deputy Pavilion Master’s succession ceremony of our Trading Pavilion..."
Afterwards, it was a string of pleasantries.
Qin Feiyang turned to look at Young Master Hao and transmitted, "Didn’t your father come?"
"It’s not the Pavilion Master’s succession ceremony, so why would he bother coming?"
Young Master Hao replied disdainfully.
But before the words finished, two more people appeared high in the sky.
Yan Wei was the first to notice, his pupils shrank sharply, and he shouted, "The General Tower Master, the Hall Master of the Divine Envoy Hall, has arrived!"
"Huh?"
Everyone was shocked, looked up, and immediately stood up in unison, bowing to welcome them.
"Oh!"
"What is the old man doing here?"
Young Master Hao was greatly surprised.
Qin Feiyang glanced at the Pavilion Master and the Vice Pavilion Master, both of whom were also astonished, evidently unaware that the General Tower Master would come.
Gongsun Bei smiled and said, "We came uninvited, I hope you won’t mind!"
Fu An-shan got a jolt and hurriedly said, "Not at all, not at all, it is our honor to have both of you here, please take the chief seats."
The Pavilion Master and Vice Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion also immediately made way.
Gongsun Bei laughed, "Today, you are the hosts, we can’t overshadow you, any seat will do for us."
The two descended onto the square and walked toward Qin Feiyang and the others.
Seeing this.
Everyone understood.
They were going to sit with Young Master Hao and the others.
The red-haired old man sitting beside Qin Feiyang, as well as a leader of a super tribe, immediately moved aside, making room.
After the two sat down, Young Master Hao turned his head to look at them, secretly transmitting his voice: "Why are you here?"
Gongsun Bei chuckled, "Little junior brother, you don’t know, do you? The adults are here specifically to see your performance."
"See my performance?"
Young Master Hao raised an eyebrow.
Gongsun Bei said, "Didn’t you tell me last time that you would reveal the true face of Fu An-shan today?"
"Ah, I see!"
Young Master Hao suddenly understood, chuckling, "Rest assured, I will certainly put on a good show for you."
"Then I will look forward to it."
Gongsun Bei smiled.
Although the General Tower Master did not speak, there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
The Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion looked at Mo Yizhen and said, "Let’s skip the pleasantries and get started!"
"Yes."
Mo Yizhen nodded, glanced at everyone in the crowd, and smiled: "Now, let’s invite Steward Fu An-shan to the stage."
Hearing this, Fu An-shan took a deep breath and stepped onto the platform with big strides.
"First of all, I would like to thank everyone for attending the succession ceremony, especially the General Tower Master, which leaves me flattered."
"Secondly, I want to thank the two Pavilion Masters, without your cultivation, I wouldn’t be here today."
"I swear here that in the future I will spare no effort, wholeheartedly managing the Trading Pavilion, striving to elevate the Trading Pavilion to a higher level!"
Fu An-shan delivered a passionate speech.
Applause echoed all around.
Qin Feiyang and Young Master Hao also applauded, but there was a hint of amusement on their faces.
When Fu An-shan finished his speech, Mo Yizhen stepped forward and said, "Now we invite the Vice Pavilion Master to the stage."
Thunderous applause!
The black-robed old man rose, walking slowly to the platform, smiling: "We all have witnessed Fu An-shan’s abilities. With his help to manage the Trading Pavilion, I can rest easy and enjoy my twilight years."
Saying this.
He took out a square seal from his bosom.
The seal was about the size of a baby’s fist, pure white as jade, carved with a Fire Luan Bird pattern, exuding a hazy precious light.
This is the Vice Pavilion Master’s jade seal!
Once the jade seal is in Fu An-shan’s hands, he officially becomes the Vice Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion.
So at this moment, looking at the jade seal, he was unprecedentedly excited, unable to suppress his feelings.
The black-robed old man turned around, looking at Fu An-shan, smiling: "Now I hand it over to you, hoping you will cherish everything you have now."
"I will."
Fu An-shan nodded and bent down to extend his hands.
"It’s my time to shine!"
Young Master Hao gave a cold smile.
Qin Feiyang pressed him down, transmitting his voice: "Wait a little longer."
"Wait longer?"
Young Master Hao raised an eyebrow but listened to Qin Feiyang.
Because he knew that Qin Feiyang must have a reason for doing so.
Moreover, without Qin Feiyang’s help, he wouldn’t have any evidence against Fu An-shan.
The black-robed old man lowered his head to look at the jade seal, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes, but finally handed it to Fu An-shan.
"I finally..."
"Finally... became the Vice Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion..."
Fu An-shan looked at the jade seal in his hand, his old eyes brimming with excitement, feeling as if he were dreaming.
"Congratulations!"
"I have prepared a small gift, please, Vice Pavilion Master, kindly accept it."
A leader of the Kirin Tribe waved his hand, and a delicate gift box flew towards Fu An-shan.
Fu An-shan regained his senses, caught the gift box, and without even looking, quickly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Brother Wu."
The other leaders and the Clan Elder of the God Python Tribe also presented their gifts one after another.
The lady from the Dragon Phoenix Building also gave a jar of Dragon and Phoenix Wine.
The leader of the Diamond Tribe saw that Qin Feiyang remained unmoved, and chuckled, "Brother Mu, I’m sure you have prepared a gift as well, let’s see what you’ve got!"
"Indeed!"
"With your status, it must be something extraordinary."
The leader of the Kirin Tribe followed with a laugh.
Although the General Tower Master was present, their words had no obvious targeting intention, just as a joke, so they weren’t worried about angering the Grand Pavilion Master.
Fu An-shan knew, but didn’t step out to ease the situation.
Because now, he was already the Vice Pavilion Master, the decision was made, and no matter how the two caused trouble, it didn’t matter.
