Song Chen naturally didn't want to be involved in this kind of matchmaking.
But there was nothing he could do.
When he first took office as the head of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, he thought he could make great strides, develop Heavenly Treasure Pavilion in Fengyang City, and be promoted himself.
But Fengyang City is ultimately just a small Yellow Rank city. The previous Pavilion Master, Kang Shan, had spent thirty years here, and he had already used all the available methods.
If it weren't for good luck, even if Kang Shan had waited another fifty years, he might not have been promoted.
He worked hard here for a year, and although Heavenly Treasure Pavilion's performance improved, it wasn't much.
Song Chen naturally didn't want to suffer here for decades or even centuries, and he also didn't believe that he could suddenly achieve great merit like Kang Shan.
Just as he was pondering how to quickly accumulate merits and rise in rank, he met Zhou Xiu, the young master of the Zhou Clan.
The Zhou Clan is a well-known family in the Eastern Extremity Region. Although not the top-tier family, they are still a first-rate family.
His family has three experts at the Sovereign Realm Seventh Grade, and more than thirty other Sovereign Realm experts.
Zhou Xiu is considered a celebrity in the Eastern Extremity Region, albeit in a negative way.
Zhou Xiu loved beautiful women the most, and he had hundreds of beauties of all kinds around him, each of whom he had gathered from the Five Regions.
It is said that the reason why the other party is only at the King Realm Ninth Grade and has been unable to break through to the Sovereign Realm is because he indulges in excessive sexual activity.
It was a month before the opening of the Sin Banquet Secret Realm, and all the major families were procuring various resources, including the Zhou Clan family.
Zhou Xiu was the person sent by the Zhou Clan to Fengyang City to purchase resources.
The other person also arrived at the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion and saw Xiaoya. An idea immediately arose in their mind, but Xiaoya rejected it.
Zhou Xiu was naturally unwilling to give up, and then used the pretext of purchasing resources to get to know Song Chen.
He told Song Chen that as long as Xiaoya was sent to him, he would give him a purchase order worth more than one billion jade crystals in the name of the Zhou Clan.
Although Song Chen wanted to improve, he wouldn't do something like this just for a billion-dollar deal.
However, they couldn't withstand Zhou Xiu's subsequent price increase, which went from 1 billion to 3 billion, and they even agreed to continue their cooperation in the future.
This immediately tempted Song Chen, but he didn't dare to force himself on Xiaoya, since Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was overseen by Immortal experts.
So he only told Xiaoya about it and asked her to think it over. After Xiaoya refused, he secretly put pressure on Xiaoya, causing her to go into seclusion and avoid him.
Later, the Sin Banquet Secret Realm opened, and even if Zhou Xiu was fond of beautiful women, he couldn't stay in Fengyang City forever.
Furthermore, with Xiaoya in seclusion, Song Chen had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being.
As a result, after the Sin Banquet Secret Realm ended some time ago, the Zhou Clan gained a lot from the secret realm, and the number of powerful individuals also increased dramatically.
Even Zhou Xiu broke through from the King Realm to the Sovereign Realm.
Half a month ago, Zhou Xiu found him again and told him that as long as he sent Xiaoya over, he could handle one-tenth of the Zhou Clan's gains in the Sin Banquet Secret Realm.
This was a considerable sum of money. Since Xiaoya had just emerged from seclusion, he approached Xiaoya again and brought up the matter, asking her to reconsider.
Unexpectedly, half a month later, when I brought up the matter again, the other party still refused.
" Xiaoya, Young Master Zhou is a good person. The Zhou Clan is also a prominent clan, and Zhou Clan reaped considerable rewards in the Sin Banquet Secret Realm."
"If you follow Young Master Zhou, let alone reaching the King Realm, even breaking through to the Sovereign Realm will be a piece of cake in the future."
Song Chen, feigning concern, said, "This kind of opportunity isn't something everyone gets; I hope you'll reconsider."
"Thank you, Pavilion Master, but compared to the Zhou Clan, I still think Heavenly Treasure Pavilion is better," Xiaoya said.
Song Chen's expression darkened. He had already given the other party a lot of face. It was only because it was in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion that he dared to defy a King Realm First Grade Sovereign Realm expert like this outside.
Just as he was about to say something, Song Chen's eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at Li Yunshan and Li Zhao beside him.
Li Yunshan and Li Zhao had no interest in getting involved. Putting aside the issue of strength, even if they were strong enough, Xiaoya was a complete stranger to them, and her life or death was none of their concern.
Especially now that they have just arrived in the Domain, they are even less willing to cause any unnecessary trouble.
However, I still felt a pang of regret that even in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, such sordid things were not uncommon.
Unexpectedly, while they were enjoying their meal, Song Chen suddenly looked over, which made the two of them feel uneasy.
"Gentlemen, I think Xiaoya might have offended you when she was greeting you earlier."
Song Chen's face once again wore a warm smile, and at the same time he transmitted his voice to Li Yunshan and the other man, "If you two are willing to testify against Xiaoya, I will reward you handsomely later. I, Song Chen, am the most clear about right and wrong."
Li Yunshan and Li Zhao exchanged a glance; they hadn't expected that simply gossiping would involve them.
They understood the meaning behind Song Chen's words: he was trying to be polite first, then resort to force. If they didn't agree, they would definitely suffer the consequences.
"We have other things to attend to, so we'll be leaving now."
As Li Yunshan spoke, he led Li Zhao outside; they had no intention of getting involved in the matter.
"Why are you two in such a hurry? Heavenly Treasure Pavilion is very particular about rules. If Xiaoya has offended you, Heavenly Treasure Pavilion will absolutely not cover it up."
Song Chen still had a smile on his face, while Li Yunshan and the other man stood frozen in place.
They sensed a death threat; it seemed that if they took another step forward, they would be killed.
"Lord Pavilion Master, they are guests, this matter has nothing to do with them." Xiaoya's expression also changed, she didn't expect that her matter would involve Li Yunshan and the other two.
"Guests? Judging from your haste to leave, it seems more like you've come to cause trouble at my Heavenly Treasure Pavilion."
Song Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "Gentlemen, did you say you came here to cause trouble, or to be guests?"
If anyone causes trouble at the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, he can take action and capture them.
Of course, during the capture process, the opponent may resist violently, leading to death.
Li Yunshan and Li Zhao looked helpless. What a mess this was! They should have left earlier.
But getting them to cooperate with Song Chen is impossible. And even if they did, would Song Chen let them go?
Thinking of this, a resolute glint flashed in Li Yunshan's eyes, clearly indicating that he was prepared to unleash all his means, even at the cost of his own life, to give Li Zhao a chance to escape.
"Old Wang, you certainly have quite the airs of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion Master of the Eastern Extremity Region."
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out, and two figures emerged from the void.
The visitors were Zhou Chang and Wang Qinyue.
Zhou Chang chuckled and said, "If you didn't know better, you'd think he was the domain lord of the Eastern Extremity Region."
Wang Qinyue stood to the side, his face grim.
How embarrassing! So incredibly embarrassing!
If this gets out, everyone will laugh at him to death.
Song Chen's expression changed. He hadn't expected two people to suddenly appear without him noticing, which meant that these two were no less skilled than him.
"You..."
Just as Song Chen was about to speak, Wang Qinyue snorted coldly, and a terrifying pressure instantly descended upon Song Chen.
How could Song Chen, a mere Sovereign Realm Sovereign Realm, withstand Wang Qinyue's oppressive aura?
The next instant, Song Chen spat out a mouthful of blood and was immediately suppressed to the ground.
