Feng Qing'er, Kneel at Once!

In the Northern Region of the Central Plains, Wind and Thunder Mountain Range.

This is where the East Pavilion of Wind and Thunder is located, and it is also the venue for this Four Pavilions Assembly.

Such a grand event naturally attracted countless people from all directions of Central Plains to come and participate or visit, all wanting to personally witness the splendor of the Four Pavilions Assembly.

At the foot of Thunder Mountain, under the supervision of the Elder and disciples of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, pedestrians entered in an orderly manner.

Many people have also noticed that the once arrogant and domineering Wind and Thunder Pavilion is now surprisingly kind and friendly.

Looking upwards, one reaches the summit of Thunder Mountain, where a majestic silver tower stands, its body constantly flashing with lightning, its spire piercing the clouds—truly awe-inspiring.

In front of the tower is a vast square, which is the venue for this Four Pavilions Assembly.

Many people focused their attention on the highest point directly in front of the square, where four ornate silver chairs were placed.

Clearly, those qualified to sit in those four seats are all extremely important figures.

Seeing that the conference had not yet started, many people found a place to sit down cross-legged and close their eyes to rest.

As time went on, more and more people gathered in the square, and the noise became increasingly loud.

"Speaking of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, we must mention a major event that occurred some time ago."

"What is it? Please elaborate..."

"This story begins with a pair of beautiful sisters in Tianbei City..."

"..."

With his eloquent speech, the man led everyone through the experience of what had happened.

"Really? Even the Pavilion Master Wind and Thunder Pavilion can't do anything about him?"

"Of course it's true. I was in Tianbei City at the time, and I saw with my own eyes the Pavilion Master of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion bowing and scraping to that young man, treating him better than his own father."

"So, that Dou Technique was also stolen by the Wind and Thunder Pavilion?"

"Of course, the Pavilion Master Wind and Thunder Pavilion himself admitted it at the time."

"..."

They could hardly believe that a relatively unknown young man could force such a behemoth as the Wind and Thunder Pavilion into a corner.

The group chatted more and more enthusiastically, completely oblivious to the increasingly unpleasant expression on the face of a woman in a colorful dress not far away.

The woman was none other than Feng Qing'er.

After returning from the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool, she immediately went into seclusion to consolidate her cultivation level, and only emerged this morning.

In just a short time, before she even had a chance to confirm with Thunder Venerable, she had already heard this rumor no less than ten times.

There are all sorts of bizarre versions, such as Thunder Venerable kneeling, Thunder Venerable stealing, and even more absurdly, some say that Thunder Venerable willingly became someone's dog.

"This rumor must have been spread by that piece of trash who provoked my Wind and Thunder Pavilion, he deserves to die!" Feng Qing'er's eyes were filled with rage, and her murderous intent unconsciously emanated from them.

Clearly, given her arrogance, she would never believe these rumors. She was more convinced that the person had simply escaped the teacher's pursuit by luck and was then spreading rumors to smear their Wind and Thunder Pavilion.

"Feng... Qing'er!"

Sensing the bone-chilling killing intent, those who were engrossed in their discussion noticed Feng Qing'er standing not far away and immediately shut their mouths.

No matter what kind of organization the Wind and Thunder Pavilion is, it's not something these people can afford to mess with.

Seeing that Feng Qing'er didn't seem to intend to pursue the matter, the group breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel grateful for Feng Qing'er's magnanimity.

However, they misunderstood. Feng Qing'er wasn't magnanimous at all; it was simply because today was the day of the Four Pavilions Assembly, and normally she would have sent them to their deaths long ago.

"They're here!"

Boom!

Someone shouted, and a bolt of lightning struck down from the clouds, landing the figure of the Thunder Venerable on the Silverwood chair.

Upon seeing that figure, Feng Qing'er's expression softened.

But for some reason, she felt that her teacher was acting a little... strange today, though she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

Immediately afterwards, a sword aura ripped through the sky, and amidst the resounding sword cry, a figure riding a giant sword flew down from the horizon and finally landed steadily above the plaza.

"Sword Venerable has arrived, please take a seat." Upon seeing the giant sword in the sky, Thunder Venerable also stood up, smiling kindly.

The Sword Venerable nodded and transformed into a stream of light, landing on the Silverwood chair.

Next was the pale-faced, gloomy-looking Yellow Springs Venerable.

The three venerable ones took their seats, instantly igniting a lively atmosphere around the plaza.

"That old guy Feng Xian is clearly the fastest, but he always likes to arrive last. It's really..." Looking at the empty seat, Sword Venerable also wanted to complain.

Before he could finish speaking, the space here seemed to freeze, and a huge rift suddenly tore open in the sky above Thunder Mountain, from which a thunderous roar like a dragon's cry resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

Two figures emerged from within, one tall and one short, one male and one female, none other than Xiao Yan and Mu Qingluan, who had come from the Starfall Pavilion.

"Young Master!"

Upon seeing Xiao Yan, Thunder Venerable was still in a daze, but his body instinctively stood up from his seat and knelt down in Xiao Yan's direction without hesitation.

Not only Thunder Venerable, but Fei Tian and all the Elder of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion knelt down respectfully in Xiao Yan's direction, their eyes filled with reverence.

Holy crap! What's going on?!

Sword Venerable and Yellow Springs Venerable were also completely bewildered by Thunder Venerable's sudden move.

Thunder Venerable's kneeling was so decisive that it left them all somewhat at a loss.

Are you asking us to kneel or not?

Ultimately, they opted for a compromise and stood up from their seats.

The sight of Thunder Venerable kneeling left countless people present speechless.

For a venerable figure to kneel in public is truly a powerful shock.

The one most shocked was Feng Qing'er, who had just emerged from seclusion and knew nothing about the world.

She stood frozen in place, her jewel-like eyes fixed on the kneeling figure, filled with disbelief.

"What... what happened? Why... why did the teacher kneel down in front of everyone!" Feng Qing'er was dizzy and couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"This... this is the young man who appeared in Tianbei City!"

Just as Feng Qing'er was feeling confused, a startled cry reached her ears.

She looked up sharply in the direction of the voice and saw the very person who had spread the rumors about their Wind and Thunder Pavilion.

"How is this possible!" Feng Qing'er's beautiful eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. "How could our teacher kneel before that good-for-nothing who provoked our Wind and Thunder Pavilion!"

Seemingly noticing Feng Qing'er's shouting, Thunder Venerable's expression changed drastically, and he immediately roared at Feng Qing'er, "Qing'er, kneel down right now!"

"Teacher...!" Hearing her teacher's roar and seeing the unfamiliar expression on Thunder Venerable's face, Feng Qing'er couldn't believe it was real.

The teacher actually made her kneel down before that good-for-nothing!!
