"Idle Prince"

After explaining the situation of the "Young Pavilion Master" to Yang Shan, Thunder Lord finally spoke and asked the question he was most concerned about, "Little Friend Yang Shan, I wonder how our Grandmaster specifically wants us to cooperate when he sent you here?"

How to cooperate?

Based on Thunder Lord's mere two points of goodwill, could Yang Shan really say, "Mystic Wrath Thunder Saint sent me to lead Wind and Thunder Pavilion to its peak"? What's the difference between that and kicking Thunder Lord aside and saying, "Get lost, Wind and Thunder Pavilion is mine"? To be honest, Thunder Lord is the fourth generation Pavilion Master of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. When Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord left Wind and Thunder Pavilion, Thunder Lord hadn't even become a tadpole yet!

If it really is the Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord who has come, then so be it.

Then One-Star Dou Zong appeared, and his first words were to take away the management rights of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion from him.

Wouldn't Thunder Lord Zhe be driven to desperation and fight Yang Shan to the death? Yang Shan never doubted the AI Nüwa's ability to control things.

Since the identity has already been given, any attempt to use it to gain more will inevitably encounter considerable resistance.

The power, status, and influence that come with the Take Control of Wind and Thunder Pavilion clearly far exceed the normal production and acquisition limit that this version should have.

Therefore, based on reasonable regulatory logic, AI Nüwa arranged Thunder Lord to be the opposite of the identity of "Young Pavilion Master".

Of course, as one of the important forces in Central Plains in the future version, Wind and Thunder Pavilion is obviously more than that.

But what Yang Shan needs to do now is to remain stable!

There's no good outcome to going up against Thunder Lord.

Even Fei Tian knows the "Three Thousand Thunder Movement," so how could Thunder Lord not? With the "Strange Speed" effect of activating the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning, Yang Shan is confident that he can shake off Fei Tian, but he absolutely cannot shake off Thunder Lord! Not only can he not shake him off, but he also can't beat him! Thunder Lord really wants to kill him, Yang Shan can at most give Thunder Lord the middle finger and say a few harsh words, and things will change in three months.

As a Old Schemer, one should know when to keep a low profile.

Patience isn't cowardice; it's a necessary trial for success! Someone like Xiao Aotian, arrogant beyond measure, who always challenges you to a duel when his temper flares, only ends up getting a beating! Therefore, Yang Shan started throwing out a barrage of smokescreens:

"You flatter me, Pavilion Master. My master sent me to the Wind and Thunder Pavilion only because I had broken through to the Dou Zong realm, so that I would have someone to rely on when I came to Central Plains for training. After all, my master is still in seclusion. As you know, Dou Sheng Expert can easily go into seclusion for thirty to fifty years."

Upon hearing this, Thunder Lord was already inwardly cursing.

As a Three-Star Dou Zun, how could he know what the concept of Dou Sheng's seclusion meant? Yang Shan had already begun to demonstrate his years of acting skills. He scratched his head with a wry smile, looking very depressed. "Master probably plans to throw me into the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and let me grow up on my own, so he can go into seclusion in peace."

Thunder Lord pondered for a moment and asked:

"According to what you've said, Little Friend Yang Shan, the founder simply arranged for you to come to the Wind and Thunder Pavilion for training?"

Yang Shan: "Yes."

Thunder Lord: "What about the Patriarch?"

Yang Shan: "He said he would come to pick me up after his seclusion and take me to a new place to train, but if I haven't reached the Dou Zun by then..."

Yang Shan stopped there.

It's not about saying things in as much detail as possible.

It's better to say only half and leave the other half unsaid, giving yourself some room to maneuver.

Thunder Lord's expression seemed extremely shocked:

"What? The founder is only here to take you away. Doesn't he intend to regain Wind and Thunder Pavilion?"

"To regain Wind and Thunder Pavilion?"

A moment of confusion flashed across Yang Shan's face, and then he looked around.

Thunder Lord coughed twice and waved his hand. Fei Tian immediately led the Four Great Elders away from the main hall.

Yang Shan then said:

"Sect Master, let's be frank. Our master broke through his life limit a thousand years ago. If he really wanted to manage the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, he would have done so long ago!"

Thunder Lord hesitated. "I don't quite understand what Little Friend Yang Shan means."

Yang Shan: "My master is Dou Sheng. Do you see any Dou Sheng emerging in the Central Plains now? To put it bluntly, once my master reached that level, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion was just a connection left over from a glorious period in his life!"

"Master still remembers this connection. It just so happens that I have to come to Central Plains for the trial, so I came here. At first, I was actually a little scared. After all, a thousand years have passed. What if the current Wind and Thunder Pavilion is nothing more than a villain? In the end, I was just being petty and judging others by my own standards."

Thunder Lord said regretfully:

"Alas, the Ancestor really doesn't think much of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion."

Yang Shan: "Hey! It's not that I look down on him. After all, Master was the founder. It's just that he's already passed that stage. You understand, Sect Leader?"

Thunder Lord Zhe nodded:

"That's right, I understand. When I was young, I was also full of vigor and traveled all over the country, gaining experience everywhere. But now I'm past the age of youthful arrogance."

Thunder Lord continued, "Since it is the Patriarch's arrangement, I have no reason not to cooperate. May I ask, Little Friend Yang Shan, how would you like to gain experience? Perhaps I could assign you a position?"

No! Please don't!

Yang Shan feigned panic. "Sect Master, I'm used to being free and easy. If you let me manage things, I'll make a mess of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. Besides, I need to cultivate often, so I don't have the time to manage things. Just treat me as an ordinary Wind and Thunder Pavilion disciple."

Yang Shan's move of "retreating to advance" hit Thunder Lord right in the heart.

If Yang Shan wants power, then Thunder Lord might resort to some extreme measures, but if Yang Shan doesn't want power, then there's room for negotiation.

"How can that be done?"

Thunder Lord pretended to ponder for a moment, then said, "It's fine if you don't want to get involved, but don't bring up the matter of ordinary disciples again! You are the Young Pavilion Master appointed by the patriarch. If we arrange things for you casually, when the patriarch comes, won't I have to atone with my death?"

Thunder Lord said with certainty:

"You need not refuse the position of Young Pavilion Master, but I have a request."

Yang Shan nodded. "Please speak freely, Pavilion Master."

Thunder Lord: "According to the rules of our Wind and Thunder Pavilion, the Young Pavilion Master's status is Qi Ping to that of the Pavilion Master. However, I am currently in charge of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, so I would appreciate it if you would be so kind as to declare to the public that the Young Pavilion Master's status is slightly lower than mine?"

"Don't worry, young friend. Your status is second only to mine. No one in the Wind and Thunder Pavilion would dare to raise their voice at you!"

Yang Shan bowed with his hands clasped in greeting:

"Then thank you very much for your kindness, Pavilion Master!"

Thunder Lord then summoned Fei Tian and the four elders Wind, Cloud, Thunder, Lightning, and in front of Yang Shan, confirmed Yang Shan's status Young Pavilion Master the pavilion.

After Fei Tian canceled his contact with Thunder Lord, Thunder Lord opened his eyes on the top floor of the Eastern Thunder Tower in the Wind and Thunder East Pavilion.

"Is he really just here for training?"

In Thunder Lord's view, Yang Shan seemed to have absolutely no interest in the power of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.

Even the title of Young Pavilion Master was something that Thunder Lord deliberately requested Yang Shan to accept.

To put it bluntly, if we compare Wind and Thunder Pavilion to a dynasty, then Yang Shan, the "Young Pavilion Master," is now equivalent to a Idle Prince.

They enjoy the status and salary they deserve, but they have no power whatsoever.

Even a mere One-Star Dou Zong could have enough for Yang Shan to cultivate for a long time by simply taking some things from Thunder Lord Zhe's personal pocket.

Most importantly, Thunder Lord was still wary of Yang Shan, the founder of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion!

"Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord, that legendary ancestor, has he truly broken through to the Dou Sheng?"

Thunder Lord pondered for a moment, shook his head, and murmured, "Regardless of whether it's true or not, until there's concrete evidence, I'll assume it's true!"

"But it's also difficult to explain to Qing'er, sigh."

Just then, someone came from outside the main hall.

"Sect Master, everything has been investigated. Yang Shan is indeed from the Northwest Continent, and he is quite famous Northwest Continent. He once Dou Zong Dou Emperor Realm expert and was known as the Blade Sovereign!"

"Blade Sovereign".

After pondering for a moment, Thunder Lord instructed, "Immediately announce that Yang Shan has become the Young Pavilion Master. I want the entire Northern Region to know that the Wind and Thunder Pavilion has gained a Young Pavilion Master! Also, have Feng Qing'er come to me!"

"Yes, sir!"

After his subordinates left, Thunder Lord smiled calmly, "Let the Dou Sheng Dou Sheng discuss matters among themselves, and let the juniors handle their own affairs. I, the Pavilion Master, will observe the situation for now!"

Yang Shan was naturally unaware of what Thunder Lord was secretly plotting.

He only knew that he had already exceeded his target.

His initial plan was to take a steady and cautious approach, hoping to join the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and gain some recognition.

But now he is the Young Pavilion Master of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. Although he has no real power, his status and benefits have not changed at all!

Seeing Fei Tian, Northern Pavilion Master, smiling obsequiously beside him, Yang Shan felt somewhat comfortable.

It feels so good to have someone backing you up! Yang Shan has no plans to go to the East Pavilion for the time being.

Although the East Pavilion is the headquarters of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, Yang Shan is still very wary of Thunder Lord.

Because he voluntarily yielded and gave up all power, Thunder Lord's favorability towards him only increased by 1 point! Even if Thunder Lord had doubts about Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord sainthood, he, as the successor, could not fake it.

In Fei Tian's words, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion has welcomed a Young Pavilion Master with exceptional talent, and given time, it will surely become even stronger.

Therefore, it is clear that in the future, this Thunder Lord will probably not let him have an easy time in the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.

Therefore, Yang Shan does not plan to go to the East Pavilion until he has the ability to save his own life.

Anyway, the resources in this North Pavilion are quite good, and they will definitely be enough for him to cultivate in a short period of time.

Fei Tian led Yang Shan on a tour of the North Pavilion.

Since Yang Shan intends to use the North Pavilion as a training ground for the time being, Fei Tian still needs to give North Pavilion Yang Shan a general introduction to the situation here.

After Fei Tian explained that the bottom level of the Northern Thunder Tower was where Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills were stored, Yang Shan felt the time was right, so he casually asked, "I see. What about the ' Three Thousand Thunder Illusory Body '? That's the treasure of our Wind and Thunder Pavilion. It's not stored at the bottom of the tower there, is it?"

Look at Yang Shan's wording—"Our Wind and Thunder Pavilion!" We're all family, so hurry up and present the Young Pavilion Master with the manual of the "Three Thousand Thunder Illusory Body"! Fei Tian, however, explained:

"Young Pavilion Master, did the Ancestral Master not pass on the ' Three Thousand Thunder Illusory Body ' to you?"

Yang Shan: "If Master paves the way for me, then there's no need for training."

Fei Tian laughed:

"That's true. The Three Thousand Thunder Illusory Body is the supreme Dou Technique of our Wind and Thunder Pavilion. Apart from the leaders of our three branch pavilions, there are only two ways to obtain it. One is through the elders who have made great contributions to the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, and the other is to participate in the Four Directions Pavilion Assembly held every three years. If you enter the top eight in the conference, you can obtain the qualification to inherit it."

At this point, Fei Tian added, "However, given the Young Pavilion Master's status, he should be able to get some leniency if he talks to the master."

Yang Shan: "."
