Chapter 782 Senior Sister Chi Jing (1/2)
Tianyuan Utopia, Tianyuan Palace.
A majestic and towering golden palace stood tall on the highest point of the Tianyuan Utopia. As one peered down, numerous floating islands dotted the vast Tianyuan Utopia like specks of light.
The security here was very tight and boasted powerful defences.
Even if Zhou Yuan was led by Yi Yan, they still were subjected to many investigations before they arrived outside the golden palace.
In front of the palace, Yi Yan straightened his clothes, and his relaxed face turned more solemn. “This is where Lady Chi Jing deals with affairs.
“Come with me.”
He led the group into the golden palace.
Inside the golden palace, the floor was paved with blue stones, and it was s.p.a.cious and simple yet imposing and grand.
As they entered, Zhou Yuan immediately noticed multiple eagle-like gazes s.h.i.+fting onto him as if trying to pierce through him. They were evidently the guards of the palace.
On the stone steps at the end of the palace hall was a pile of jade official doc.u.ment files. A figure had her head buried in the files, as if searching for some materials.
Feeling that someone had come, the figure lifted her head, and a voice rang out, “Elder Yi Yan has arrived.”
The voice was extremely clear, pleasant but not weak in the slightest. It sounded capable and experienced.
“Lady Chi Jing,” Yi Yan said respectfully.
Zhou Yuan’s heart pounded as he lifted his head to see the figure behind the jade files.
It was a slender woman casually dressed in a long robe. Her skin was fair, and her seductive collarbone could be seen at the base of her slender neck. But what was particularly noticeable was her burgundy shoulder-length hair.
Her facial features were evidently the type that could withstand careful appreciation. There was a sense of majesty and fierceness in her eyes, and her red lips were slightly raised, giving people a feeling of toughness.
From her body, Zhou Yuan felt a heroic spirit that was not inferior to any man’s.
She could be said to be valiant and formidable-looking.
Zhou Yuan’s eyes were fully concentrated on her chest, which was like a flat land one could gallop straight across. He finally understood why master Cang Yuan had told him with a strange expression that he had two ‘senior brothers’.
Senior sister Chi Jing was a female, but no matter whether it was in temperament or in appearance, she could be considered an extremely beautiful man.
Zhou Yuan glanced at Yi Qiushui and saw that her beautiful face was full of excitement.Her eyes were glistening with respect and admiration as she stared at Chi Jing.
Chi Jing, who was behind the official files, s.h.i.+fted her gaze onto Zhou Yuan and asked, “You are the Zhou Yuan who has been creating a lot of buzz these days?”
Zhou Yuan nodded.
Chi Jing nodded casually, and her eyes didn’t stay too long on Zhou Yuan’s body. It was incredibly hard to know what she was thinking from her expression. She turned and said to Yi Yan, “You want to recommend him as deputy commander of the Wind Pavilion?”
Chi Jing’s slender fingers gently tapped the tabletop as she spoke calmly: “But there’s someone who objects.”
Yi Yan’s brows suddenly wrinkled. “May I ask who?”
“Me.” A deep voice suddenly sounded in the palace hall. Yi Yan and Zhou Yuan twisted around to see a red-robed old man approaching. Behind the old man was another person following closely behind. It was Gu Xi.
“Hall master Gu Yan?” Yi Yan furrowed his brows.
The red robed elder was the hall master of the Scarlet Flame Hall of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, Gu Yan.
Behind Gu Yan, Gu Xi was staring down on Zhou Yuan.
Gu Yan came to the center of the great hall and gave a cupped fist salute to Chi Jing. “Elder Yi Yan’s recommendation doesn’t seem right. That person’s background is unknown, so how can he take on the Wind Pavilion’s post of deputy commander?”
“The four pavilions were originally designed to attract outstanding youngsters,” Yi Yan explained. “If palace master Gu Yan thinks like this, it might be detrimental to the development of the Four Pavilions.”
Gu Yan ignored Yi Yan. After all, his status was higher than his. He simply turned and said to Chi Jing, “Lady Chi Jing, perhaps you can hand this boy to me for an investigation first. If he pa.s.ses, it won’t be too late for him to enter the Wind Pavilion.”
Yi Yan was visibly angry.
