Hearing this, Zhang Zhan, who had been trying his best not to open his mouth, could not help but pull down his face again. He was about to say something when there was a sound coming from outside the door.
Creak —
As the door was pushed open, a figure slowly walked into the hall.
The person was also wearing the uniform of the disciples of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. He looked similar to the few disciples present. He was handsome and feminine, but there was an undisguised arrogance in his expression. His gaze slowly swept across the crowd, other than looking at Tong Shan and Tang Conglin with a hint of awe in his eyes, he looked at the others with an imposing manner as if he was looking down on the world.
To put it bluntly, it was the feeling of not putting the others in his eyes.
While Hou Yu was sizing up the crowd, Gu Xi also sized up the former, but then he shook his head in disappointment.
This so-called favored son of Heaven in the treasure pavilion of the Eastern Continent was only at the peak of the early stage of the Saint Realm, and was still a level lower than him.
Although this level of difference was not eye-catching, there was an insurmountable gap.
“Senior Brother Hou, you’re finally here.”
Upon seeing the person who came, Zhang Zhan immediately showed a slightly flirtatious expression and went over to greet Hou Yu, looking like a lapdog.
Gu Xi curled his lips in disdain, then stopped paying attention to the two.
Zhang Zhan was not the only one. The other disciples of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion came forward to greet them in a friendly manner, even though Hou Yu was very cold to them. However, this did not affect their intention to befriend him.
After all, Hou Yu’s talent was well-deserved among the top figures of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion in the Eastern Continent. He would definitely have great achievements in the future. If they could establish a good relationship with him now, they could live a better life in the future.
“Since everyone is here, let’s begin.”
Tang Conglin smiled and glanced at Tong Shan beside him.
Tong Shan nodded in understanding. His gaze slowly swept across the top disciples of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. His gaze lingered on Gu Xi and the other two for a moment before saying in a deep voice, “I don’t think I need to say much about the importance and value of the Grand Sect Competition. I’m sure all of you are very clear about it. I’ll give you a general description of the details of the Grand Sect Competition later. But before that, I have something important to tell all of you here.”
Hearing this, everyone present looked at Tong Shan with puzzlement.
Tong Shan glanced at Qing Zhu. He cleared his throat and continued, “As we all know, each sect participating in the Grand Sect Competition only has seven spots, and the seven spots of our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion come from the elite disciples selected from various branches all over the world. Moreover, each branch can only recommend one disciple at most.”
“But this time… our Jingyang branch will probably need to take up two spots.”
As Tong Shan’s words fell, the expressions on everyone’s faces changed.
“Pavilion Master Tong, what does this mean?” a disciple of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion could not help but ask.
“Don’t you understand? It means that if the Jingyang Branch takes up two spots this time. One of you will lose the opportunity to participate in this competition.” Before Tong Shan could open his mouth to explain, Gu Xi took the lead to explain for the few of them.
Hearing this, the atmosphere in the hall immediately fell silent. The few of them were stunned at first, but soon showed displeasure on their faces.
“Pavilion Master Tong, I’m afraid you’re not in accordance with the rules, are you?”
Hou Yu, who had not spoken up all this time, suddenly spoke up. He frowned and looked at Tong Shan, who was not far away. “A branch can only recommend one disciple to participate in the Grand Sect Competition. This is a rule that our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion has maintained for many years.”
Tong Shan smiled awkwardly. He glanced at Qing Zhu, who had been staying out of the matter, and could not help but feel helpless.
If Qing Zhu did not want to participate in the grand competition, this would not have happened.
Although he did not know Qing Zhu’s true strength, he believed that with her joining the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, the results this time would definitely be higher than before!
“Because of the sudden incident this time, I didn’t have the time to inform you in advance. However, after a discussion between Pavilion Master Tang and I, it was also for the sake of our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion being able to obtain better results in this competition, so…”
Tong Shan spoke with an apologetic tone.
He understood that being able to participate in such a competition was a very good experience for the elite disciples present. It was also a very good opportunity to stand out and even soar to the skies and become famous throughout the world. However, for the sake of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s results, he had no choice but to make this choice.
“I don’t agree!” Before Tong Shan could finish speaking, Hou Yu had already given his response.
Although the remaining few people had not clearly expressed their thoughts, they had all chosen to remain silent. The thoughts in their hearts were already obvious.
This was because they knew clearly in their hearts that with Hou Yu’s talent and status, the person who would be replaced would definitely not be him. Then, the scope of that unlucky fellow would be further narrowed, and he would be among the remaining five of them.
None of them wanted to be replaced, and none of them wanted to give up on the competition just like that!
“Although I don’t agree, I really want to know who is the person who can make Pavilion Master Tong so willing to break the rules and recommend him?”
Hou Yu spoke again, and his gaze naturally fell on Gu Xi and the other two.
The other people present were all dressed as disciples of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. Moreover, they had already known each other before, so naturally, that person was among Gu Xi and the other two.
“It’s me.” Before Tong Shan could introduce her, Qing Zhu had already taken the initiative to admit her identity.
“You?” Hou Yu raised his eyebrows. Obviously, he had not expected that it would be a woman, and he had not expected that Qing Zhu would actually stand out so casually.
“What? You don’t accept it?” Qing Zhu shot a glance at Hou Yu, her eyes full of contempt.
As a person from the Central Plains, she had always felt that the cultivators of the Four Continents were not much different from them. However, she had been disappointed several times since she came to the Eastern Continent. Now that she saw this so-called Favored Son of Heaven, she was even more disappointed.
Moreover, Hou Yu had an arrogant look on his face, which made her feel even more displeased. If Tong Shan and Tang Conglin were not here, she would have come out and taught him a good lesson, despite given her character which did not like to meddle in other people’s business.
“Pavilion Master Tong, since this is the person you recommended, I would like to know which one of us you plan to replace?”
Faced with Qing Zhu’s blatant provocation, Hou Yu held back and ignored her. Instead, he threw the question back to Tong Shan.
