Mysterious Yellow Pavilion Pavilion Master

"Let's go, Third Senior Brother, Senior Sister. We'll find a private room in the Xuanhuang Inner Pavilion. The Pavilion Master seems to be arriving soon."

Upon hearing of the Pavilion Master's imminent arrival, Thunder Roar Ravine immediately perked up. He nodded repeatedly, "Good, good, good! I've heard of this Mysterious Yellow Pavilion's Pavilion Master before. I want to see just who this divine being is!"

Yun Mengyao nodded, indicating her agreement.

The three walked side-by-side towards the Xuanhuang Inner Pavilion.

Unlike the noisy and bustling atmosphere of the outer pavilion's stone gambling, the Xuanhuang Inner Pavilion was quiet and elegant, with more luxurious decorations. The passageway was long, with famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on both sides. Rare potted plants were placed in the corners, and a faint sandalwood incense permeated the air, which was very pleasant.

Occasionally, elaborately dressed cultivators entered and exited various private rooms, conversing in low voices. Their demeanor carried a sense of reserve and elegance, completely different from the cultivators in the outer pavilion who clamored for Spirit Stones.

"This inner pavilion is indeed different. It feels much more upscale instantly," Thunder Roar Ravine exclaimed, looking around.

"After all, it's the core area of the Mysterious Yellow Pavilion, so it naturally needs to have some style," Yun Mengyao explained.

"The private rooms in the inner pavilion are divided into Heavenly Grade, Earthly Grade, and Human Grade sizes. All private rooms are based on Spirit Stones, not status. If an ordinary person pays the same amount of Spirit Stones, they can also enjoy Heavenly Grade service."

As she spoke, a beautiful maid in a qipao with a sweet smile approached them. "Esteemed guests, may I help you with anything?"

Xuanyuan Che immediately stepped forward, "Give us a Heavenly Grade room, uh uh--"

"Junior Brother is young and doesn't understand. Please check if you have any Earthly Grade private rooms available," Yun Mengyao said, covering Xuanyuan Che's mouth with her jade hand and smiling elegantly.

The maid looked at the scene, a flash of admiration in her eyes. She said softly, "Okay, please wait a moment. I'll check for you right away."

The maid turned and walked to a crystal spirit screen nearby, tapping her fingers to operate it quickly. A moment later, she turned back and said apologetically, "Esteemed guests, I am truly sorry. All Earthly Grade private rooms are currently fully booked. We only have Human Grade rooms and one Heavenly Grade room left. May I ask the three of you..."

"We'll take the Heavenly Grade one!" Xuanyuan Che broke free, casting a resentful glance at Yun Mengyao. He immediately made the decision, waving his hand and pulling out a large pile of Spirit Stones.

"Whoa, Junior Brother, you, you, you!" Thunder Roar Ravine was stunned.

It turned out that his Junior Brother was not only talented but also a hidden tycoon!

"I'll deal with you later," Yun Mengyao transmitted her voice to Xuanyuan Che.

"Esteemed guests, please follow me." The maid's smile widened as she led the three towards the inner depths of the pavilion.

After passing through several winding corridors, the maid brought the three to the door of a particularly luxuriously decorated private room. A purple-gold plaque hung above the door, inscribed with "Purple Palace," exuding an air of nobility.

"Esteemed guests, this is the Heavenly Grade Purple Palace private room. Please come in." The maid respectfully opened the door and gestured for the three to enter.

The interior of the private room was very spacious and decorated to the utmost luxury. The floor was covered with a soft snow velvet carpet, the walls were inlaid with various colored gems, and a giant crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling.

In the center of the room was a large rosewood round table, laden with various rare fruits and exquisite pastries.

By the window, there was a row of comfortable soft couches, allowing one to recline and gaze out at the bustling scene of Xuanhuang Ancient City.

Directly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window was the central marketplace of the Mysterious Yellow Pavilion.

"It's no wonder the Mysterious Yellow Pavilion is the premier stone gambling house in the Central Continent. It truly lives up to its reputation."

The maid smiled, "We are glad the esteemed guests are satisfied. The Purple Palace room is our Mysterious Yellow Pavilion's highest-grade private room. Not only is the environment luxurious, but the service is also top-notch. A dedicated attendant will be here to serve you shortly, ensuring that the esteemed guests feel right at home."

"Thank you for your trouble."

The maid bowed and retreated, closing the door of the private room behind her.

Only Xuanyuan Che and the other two remained in the room.

Sitting down, Xuanyuan Che released his spiritual sense, and the grand Mysterious Yellow Pavilion immediately materialized in his spiritual sea.

"There are quite a few experts here."

"Junior Brother, have some fruit!" Thunder Roar Ravine interrupted Xuanyuan Che, grabbing him.

It was quite relaxed and comfortable.

Before long, a commotion suddenly arose outside the private room, and the faint sounds of gasps and cheers could be heard from the crowd.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the curtains automatically opened. The Human Grade "private rooms" surrounding the central casino below became lively. It seemed the Mysterious Yellow Pavilion was about to get to the main event of the day.

A figure appeared at the entrance of the pavilion.

The figure was shrouded in a hazy halo, making it impossible to discern their features. Only a slender silhouette could be vaguely seen. He wore a simple and elegant white robe, his sleeves fluttering, like an immortal descending to the mortal world. He exuded an extraordinary and refined aura, making it difficult to look directly at him.

He slowly walked into the arena with light steps, each one seeming to tread upon the laws of heaven and earth, causing the surrounding Spiritual Energy to resonate.

With his appearance, the previously noisy inner hall instantly fell silent. Everyone held their breath, their gazes filled with awe.

Xuanyuan Che narrowed his eyes, observing the mysterious figure.

Is this the Pavilion Master of the Mysterious Yellow Pavilion? So mysterious.

Simply put, he's putting on quite a show.

"So strong!" Thunder Roar Ravine couldn't help but exclaim, his voice filled with a hint of shock. "He feels almost as strong as the Prefect."

Yun Mengyao nodded and said softly, "The strength of this Mysterious Yellow Pavilion Master is indeed unfathomable. He's likely no mere Supreme."

Just then, the mysterious figure suddenly stopped. As if sensing something, he slowly turned his head, his gaze sweeping towards the private room where Xuanyuan Che and the other two were located.

In an instant, an invisible pressure, tinged with a probing intent, enveloped them.

"Hmph." Xuanyuan Che casually waved his hand, dispelling it, feeling somewhat displeased.

People who try to intimidate me right off the bat usually don't end well.

It's simply not going to happen in this lifetime.

"Hmm?"

The mysterious figure chuckled slightly, withdrew its aura, and the halo surrounding it dissipated, revealing its true appearance.

It was a young man, appearing to be in his late twenties. He had sword-like eyebrows, striking eyes, a high-bridged nose, and sharply defined features. He was as handsome as a god descended from heaven. He wore a simple, elegant white robe, which further accentuated his refined and otherworldly demeanor, instantly evoking a sense of goodwill in those who saw him.

The man's eyes were as clear as water, his lips curved upwards in a gentle smile, making one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze.

A commotion erupted from the audience.

The cultivators who had never seen the Pavilion Master before had expected him to be an old man with white hair and beard, frail with age. They never imagined he would be such a young and handsome man!

Furthermore, although the young Pavilion Master's aura was powerful, it wasn't as terrifying as they had initially felt. Instead, it gave off a gentle and restrained impression, like a young man from next door, completely devoid of the arrogance of a powerful individual.

"I am Lu Guan, the Pavilion Master of the Mysterious Yellow Pavilion."

"To all the esteemed guests who have traveled from afar, you bring great honor to my Mysterious Yellow Pavilion. Lu Guan offers his respects." Lu Guan smiled slightly, his voice as warm and smooth as jade, with a hint of magnetism that was incredibly pleasant.

He cupped his hands slightly towards the crowd, his posture humble and his demeanor elegant, showing no trace of the arrogance or airs of a powerful figure.

Hearing the Pavilion Master speak, the cultivators around them seemed to awaken from a dream and returned the gesture.

"With so many distinguished guests today, Lu Guan will not speak further."

"Fellow Daoists, please observe."

In the center of the stage, a wooden table slowly rose.
