“Uh … No, no, I just wanted to care about him. That Lin Yi kid’s a jerk, and everyone in the welcome Pavilion knows that. I’m just worried that you’d be sad if you got tricked by him!” Xu lingchong quickly smiled apologetically.

“If that’s the case, then you can rest assured. This young lady has a good eye for people, so I won’t be easily deceived by some people.” Shangguan LAN ‘er said with a smile.

She intentionally made her words very vague, but when it fell into Xu lingchong’s ears, the meaning was quite clear-she had very high standards, and there was no way she would be tricked by a poor newbie like Lin Yi.

However, he did not know that this was just Xu lingchong’s own wishful thinking. In Shangguan LAN ‘er’s heart, the meaning was completely opposite. The “someone” in her words was actually referring to him, young master Xu!

“That’s good, that’s good. ” It could be said that Xu lingchong was a person who was involved in this matter. If it was someone else, he would probably have noticed that something was wrong. Unfortunately, this was Shangguan LAN ‘er. Men’s intelligence had always been in the negative in front of the goddess of their dreams, and he, the young master Xu, was no exception.

This guy was really a big idiot! Shangguan LAN ‘er laughed secretly. She was happy to see this. Let this idiot Xu lingchong misunderstand her. Her relationship with Lin Yi was a secret between the two of them. She didn’t want to let this annoying person know.

“By the way, Junior Sister LAN ‘er, they’ve decided to let me host your birthday party. If you have any thoughts or requests, feel free to let me know. No matter what your wish is, I’ll do my best to help you realize it!” Xu lingchong said excitedly.

To be able to host Shangguan LAN ‘er’s birthday banquet meant that he had obtained the preliminary approval of Shangguan Tianhua, or at least acquiesced to it.

This was the first step to becoming Shangguan Tianhua’s son-in-law. To Xu lingchong, it was no less significant than winning the position of the eldest senior brother in charge of the rising Sky Pavilion.

Taking this opportunity, he could not only stabilize his relationship with Shangguan LAN ‘er, but also further improve his status in the three pavilions. It should be known that this was a banquet for the high-level officials of the three pavilions. As the host of this banquet, it meant that he could directly communicate with all the high-level officials of the three pavilions. The benefits were needless to say.

Unexpectedly, the main character of the birthday party, Shangguan LAN ‘er, was uninterested in this. She waved her hand and said,””You can do whatever you want. It’s not the birthday banquet that I want. In the end, it will only become a power trade fair between you guys. I’m not interested in it.”

A long time ago, Shangguan LAN ‘er still had all kinds of hopes and fantasies for this rare birthday banquet, but gradually, she found that it was completely different from what she had imagined.

At the end of the day, this was just a networking event held by the upper echelons of the three great pavilions in the name of their birthday party. As for whether she, the main character, had it or not, it had nothing to do with her at all.

In terms of anticipation, her only hope for this birthday party was Lin Yi. She reckoned that this little brother of hers would be the only one who would truly celebrate her birthday for her.

As expected, she still had the heart of a little girl! Seeing this, Xu lingchong smiled indifferently. It didn’t matter to him whether Shangguan LAN ‘er was happy or not. The only important thing was that this was a great opportunity for him to show off his abilities in front of all the higher-ups of the three pavilions. He couldn’t waste it easily.

“That Lin Yi … Should we invite him to the party?” Xu lingchong suddenly suggested.

“What?” Shangguan LAN ‘er was slightly taken aback. She was very clear that her Junior Brother Lin Yi was a thorn in Xu lingchong’s side. Would this guy be so kind as to invite Lin Yi to her birthday party?

“Junior Sister LAN ‘er, didn’t you say that you wanted to return the favor? originally, a low-level newcomer like him with no status was not qualified to attend such a high-level banquet. If he was given this opportunity, and you helped him before, the so-called favor should be even, right?” Xu lingchong explained with a sinister smile.

Of course, this wasn’t his real intention-it was just a flash of inspiration, and he suddenly thought of a great idea to deal with Lin Yi.

No matter how strong Lin Yi was, he was still just a newbie in the GreenCloud Pavilion.

If they invited Lin Yi to the birthday party of the three pavilions “higher-ups, then made him look bad in front of all the higher-ups and humiliated him, letting Shangguan LAN ‘er see his true face, wouldn’t that be killing two birds with one stone?

Plus, if Lin Yi left a negative impression in the eyes of the three pavilions “higher-ups, he’d have no future even if he entered the inner sect.

“That’s good, let’s do that. ” Shangguan LAN ‘er immediately agreed.

She couldn’t be bothered to guess what Xu lingchong was up to-Lin Yi would definitely be able to solve it, and even if it didn’t work out, she was the main character of the party-Lin Yi wouldn’t suffer any losses.

“Alright,” he said. Xu lingchong smiled darkly and thought to himself,’then let’s just wait and watch a good show.’

It had been several days since Meng jueguang’s death, and the internal power struggle within the welcome new pavilion was finally beginning to take shape.

At present, the position that most people paid attention to in the welcoming new pavilion was none other than the position of the third Pavilion master. This important position had originally belonged to Meng jueguang, but because of his death, it had suddenly become empty.

Some people had once thought that the previous third Pavilion master, Lu bianren, might have a chance to make a comeback. After all, he had been forced away by Meng jueguang. Now that Meng jueguang was no longer around and the new disciples of the GreenCloud Pavilion were in a state of panic, it was not impossible for the upper echelons to transfer him back to stabilize the situation.

However, an appointment was announced from within the GreenCloud Pavilion today, causing everyone to be taken aback.

Lu bianren, the previous third Pavilion master who had been forced away by Meng jueguang and was in a sorry state, had just received his latest promotion to the position of second senior brother of the pavilion’s manager.

This appointment was beyond everyone’s expectations. Even the miserable senior brother and Lin Yi, who were on Lu bianren’s side, were shocked.

The position of the second senior brother in charge of the GreenCloud Pavilion was exactly the same as Xu lingchong’s position in the rising Sky Pavilion. Strictly speaking, he was on the same level as the third Pavilion master of the welcoming new pavilion. Therefore, Lu bianren’s position change this time could be considered equal.

However, in terms of authority and power, the second senior brother’s position was far above that of the third Pavilion master of the welcoming new pavilion. Therefore, to anyone, the promotion from the third Pavilion master to the second senior brother of the GreenCloud Pavilion was a real promotion.
