“Yes…” Lin Jing replied.
“Where are you guys planning to go? It even requires both of you to leave together,” Huang Qingling asked at this time.
Elder Bai looked up and said to Huang Qingling:
“Elder Yu has advanced to Golden Core and needs to report back to the pavilion.
I left a while ago to report this matter to the pavilion.”
“Now, I need to take Elder Yu back to the pavilion again.”
Lin Jing knew that behind Yuebaolou was a mysterious organization, which allowed it to grow and expand in the Nanming Domain, but he had never heard Elder Bai or Elder Yu mention this organization.
However, this ‘pavilion’ mentioned by Elder Bai just now must certainly be the power behind Yuebaolou.
“The pavilion? What is that?” Huang Qingling asked.
Elder Bai then turned to the two of them and said:
“I suppose neither of you knows about it, so let me tell you both…”
Lin Jing turned his head and looked at Huang Qingling beside him, somewhat incredulous.
It made sense for Lin Jing not to know about the power behind Yuebaolou since he hadn’t been involved with Yuebaolou for long.
But the fact that Huang Qingling, who was Elder Bai’s niece, also didn’t know about the power behind Yuebaolou, surprised Lin Jing.
Elder Bai glanced at Lin Jing, as if seeing through his doubts, but didn’t explain.
Instead, he continued:
“Right now, in the Nanming Domain, on the surface, there are two major powers, one is the Qingyuan Sword Sect, and the other is the Nanming Immortal Sect.”
“These two powers, one in the east and one in the west, occupy more than half of the entire Nanming Domain.”
“Other sects and families occupy the rest of the regions.”
“However…”
“Between these two major powers, there is another great power that has always been hidden in the background. This power has enough strength to compete with the Qingyuan Sword Sect and the Nanming Immortal Sect.” “And this power is our Yuebaolou’s backing organization—Yiyun Pavilion.”
“Yiyun Pavilion rose to prominence ten thousand years ago, but unlike other sects…”
“Yiyun Pavilion has always been hidden, developing in the form of an organization, and then establishing a business guild, gradually taking control of a vast amount of resources.”
“Aside from Yuebaolou, there are also Nanyun Chamber of Commerce branches throughout the Nanming Domain, which are also forces under Yiyun Pavilion.” “Of course…”
“Besides these, there are many other forces, in fact, that are supported by Yiyun Pavilion in the background. But I won’t go into detail about that with you…”
At this point, Elder Bai paused, and then continued:
“Now…”
“Elder Yu needs to return to the Yiyun Pavilion headquarters to report his duty after his promotion to Golden Core.”
“Which is why I need to take Elder Yu back with me.”
“This trip might be very short or quite long. In our absence, Yuebaolou will temporarily be managed by Steward Cheng.”
“If other matters arise and cause a prolonged delay, then the pavilion will dispatch other Golden Core Cultivators to temporarily manage the Yuebaolou in Nanshan Market.”
“During this period, the two of you should stay here and not go out causing trouble.”
“Especially you, Qing Ling…”
Elder Bai said this and then turned to Huang Qingling:
“Old Man Bai, do you really have so little confidence in me?”
Elder Bails mouth twitched, ignoring her.
He instead turned to Lin Jing and said:
“During the time we’re away, you need to keep a good watch on her, don’t let her cause any trouble…”
“Of course…”
Elder Bai’s tone then changed as he continued:
“If anyone thinks to take advantage of my absence and wants to do something to you, there’s no need to panic…”
“If you encounter any other unexpected events, you can also go directly to the Li Family Patriarch or the Zhang Family Patriarch. I will warn them in advance…”
“Old Man Bai, is there someone who wants to harm us?” Huang Qingling asked, puzzled.
“I’ve received some information; someone may be looking for trouble with me.”
