”You're Xiang Shaoyun? My lord wants to meet you. Are you willing to come with me?” an overseer with a short height was the first to start.

”I wonder who your lord is?” asked Xiang Shaoyun.

”My lord is the eighteenth elder, Lord Chen Kuan,” stated the overseer proudly.

In the Cloud Margin Pavilion, all the top 20 elders were famed and reputable individuals. All of them had the cultivation level of at least seventh-stage Skysoar Realm. Thus, the pride of this overseer was understandable.

”Ohhh, you're real tough, Overseer Leng. But our Elder Huang is interested in meeting this young hero as well,” said a tall and slim man with a sneer.

”Overseer Huang, I was here first,” said Overseer Leng with a frown. He knew who Elder Huang was—an elder with a similar strength as his lord.

”That really doesn't matter at all. What's important is who Xiang Shaoyun wants to see,” said a tall and slim man. He then looked at Xiang Shaoyun and added, ”My lord is the seventh elder. He is preparing to accept you as his disciple. Just pack up and prepare for the disciple taking ceremony.”

”My lord the eighteenth elder has taken an interest in you as well. Xiang Shaoyun, if you come with me, my lord will ensure you can become a King,” offered Overseer Leng.

The two overseers started bickering with each other, giving Xiang Shaoyun a headache. At this time, someone else arrived at the estate. The bickering overseers stopped talking.

”By the order of my lord the seventh elder, Xiang Shaoyun has been summoned to have an audience with my lord,” said the newcomer, who was even more haughty than the first two overseers. The reason for his arrogance was his ident.i.ty as an elder instead of an overseer. He naturally felt himself above the two overseers.

Both Overseer Leng and Overseer Huang quickly stepped forward and greeted the newcomer, ”Greetings, Elder Ge.”

The elder's name was Ge Qiu, a second-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator, and a trusted aide of the seventh elder, Long Xiaolang. The top 10 elders were definitely among the peak existences in the Cloud Margin Pavilion, which was also the reason and source of Ge Qiu's pride. To top it off, he himself was a King as well. His pride was perfectly understandable.

”May I ask this elder why the seventh elder is summoning me?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.

”You don't need to know why. Just know that it's something good for you,” said Ge Qiu while sizing Xiang Shaoyun up. Inwardly, he muttered, This kid sure is lucky to have caught the eyes of the seventh elder.

Xiang Shaoyun hesitated slightly before saying, ”The three lords have all invited me, but how can I decide who to visit?”

In truth, Xiang Shaoyun did not want to meet any of them. That was why he gave such an indirect reply. He started considering bringing up the name of his big sister, Hua Cheng, to give these people some pressure.

”Hmph. If the seventh elder summons you, everyone else has to make way,” said Ge Qiu coldly after tossing both Overseer Leng and Overseer Huang a glance.

The two elders blushed in embarra.s.sment, but they did not dare to offer a rebut. Inwardly however, they cursed, Just a dog bullying others with the power of its master.

”See that? Alright, come with me. Don't keep the seventh elder waiting,” said Ge Qiu haughtily.

Just as Xiang Shaoyun was hesitating, someone suddenly spoke, ”Wow, look at the airs around Elder Ge. But I'm afraid the seventh elder has to move aside as well. The vice pavilion master wants to meet Xiang Shaoyun.”

Then, two people walked into the estate. These two were none other than Liu Xinji and Zi Changhe.
