Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Ye Ze'an gave a brief account of the arrangements for the Blue Patrol Pavilion's public election on March 1.
The Emperor would not attend in person, but the masters of the Supervisory Pavilion and the Cessation of Hostilities Pavilion would both be present.
In addition, Chief Secretary Ye Ze'an would personally preside over the public election ceremony that day.
After the twenty-three members of the Blue Patrol Pavilion were selected, Grand Marshal of the Military Wenren Zheng would personally present each of them with a Jade Token symbolizing their status! With the Chief Secretary presiding, the Military God standing guard, and the masters of the Supervisory Pavilion and the Cessation of Hostilities Pavilion present as witnesses, the ceremony's scale was already extremely grand.
For many martial artists, March 1 would undoubtedly be the pinnacle of their personal fame!
After Ye Ze'an finished his explanation, the Emperor, seated in the principal seat, set down the booklet in his hands.
He looked at Ye Ze'an.
"The Blue Patrol Pavilion will have twenty-three members and inspection teams, but no pavilion master?"
Ye Ze'an said, "I intend to leave the position of pavilion master vacant for now."
"Why?"
"The Blue Patrol Pavilion was established to strengthen control over the martial world and powerful clans throughout the various regions. At this stage, even if twenty-three members are selected, they may not truly command the respect of everyone within their respective provinces, much less throughout the entire country. Under such circumstances, choosing a pavilion master would merely be for show."
"Then when do you think it would be appropriate to choose a pavilion master?"
"I believe that whenever someone appears who can win the respect of the entire martial world, that will be the time to choose a pavilion master."
