Chapter 1194 - 1192: New Deployment

Meanwhile, Xuan Yu smiled as he walked up to Wang Zhan and continued to speak, "You wouldn’t be planning to leave all the matters here to me, would you?"

For a long time, the affairs within the Sky Pavilion were handled by Dong Tianlei and Xuan Yu, while Wang Zhan played the role of a hands-off manager who never needed to attend to the matters within the Sky Pavilion, yet it could smoothly develop!

All of this was naturally due to the efforts of Dong Tianlei and Xuan Yu!

But having stayed in the Sky Pavilion for so long, naturally, one would want to go out for some fresh air. Seeing Wang Zhan and others preparing to head to Gold City, Xuan Yu naturally wanted to follow Wang Zhan and go out to have some fun together!

But Wang Zhan’s mouth showed a hint of a helpless smile, and after patting Xuan Yu’s shoulder, he laughed as he said, "The reason I leave you in the Sky Pavilion is because of my unconditional trust in you, and I am also clear about your ability to handle things. Only with you at the back securing the rear can I rest easy!"

The people nearby all laughed along, that was quite a grand pie indeed!

Wang Zhan was clearly painting a pie!

And they all knew well in their hearts, even if Wang Zhan didn’t stay in the Sky Pavilion, they believed it could run normally. After all, everyone had already divided the work and cooperated, managing their respective responsibilities without much coordination among themselves!

What Wang Zhan said naturally was just an excuse!

Xuan Yu gave Wang Zhan a sidelong glance, as one of Wang Zhan’s confidants, naturally, he didn’t need to argue much with Wang Zhan.

"I just knew you would definitely keep me at home. Those who know would think we are brothers, but those who don’t might think we’re husband and wife. I feel like a daughter-in-law locked at home, only doing those same tasks every day without any care!"

"My heart hurts greatly!"

The people nearby laughed again, Xuan Yu really was quite amusing!

And Wang Zhan didn’t continue to waste words with him. After all, there were still many things that needed handling, and time naturally couldn’t be delayed!

After Wang Zhan’s gaze fell on the Hexagonal Golden Snake, he smiled as he spoke, "This time it will be just the two of us traveling together, considering the speed we both have. Besides, having you by my side reduces some risk, and most importantly, it’s crucial to leave more people behind in the Sky Pavilion. After all, I just had a confrontation with people from nearby sects, and I’m still not sure what they’re planning to do!"

Wang Zhan lacked confidence too. If all sects joined forces to deal with him, Wang Zhan naturally wouldn’t worry, and wouldn’t even consider them.

But what Wang Zhan needed to think about was naturally the safety of everyone in the Sky Pavilion. Since everyone chose to stay by his side, Wang Zhan naturally has the duty to ensure their safety, absolutely can’t let anything happen!

Otherwise, even Wang Zhan wouldn’t know how to explain to those beside him!

Then the Sword Spirit came out from the crowd, his gaze quickly fell on Wang Zhan, and he slowly spoke, "Let me stay by your side. With us few people, we can look after each other somewhat, and you two men may not take good care of each other. Having me by your side can relieve many of your life burdens!"

Wang Zhan hesitated for a moment, momentarily unsure of how to decide.

The Sword Spirit is one of the experts within the Sky Pavilion, and his power is extremely terrifying. With Sword Spirit and Fire Qilin holding down the fort in the Sky Pavilion, Wang Zhan naturally wouldn’t worry much. But if he took away both Hexagonal Golden Snake and Sword Spirit, then if someone came to attack people in the Sky Pavilion, their situation would become unprecedentedly troublesome!

Thinking about these, Wang Zhan fell into a bout of hesitation, and before Wang Zhan made a choice, Fire Qilin had already stepped out. He naturally understood Sword Spirit’s intentions and smiled as he spoke, "Alright, just be reassured. I’ll handle all matters here, and you can have Sword Spirit accompany you, which might provide some help!"

"Alright."

Since Fire Qilin already said so, Wang Zhan naturally had no reason to refuse Sword Spirit.

As everyone headed out, Wang Zhan’s gaze fell on Li Xiaomei nearby, while he walked towards the main entrance along with those beside him, slowly asking, "You’ve been with Linglong all the time, how has Linglong been?"

"Hmm..."

Li Xiaomei hesitated for a moment and finally sighed helplessly, "Her body has been recovering quite well, but her mood isn’t good, and her mental state each day is really bad, feels like she’s changed altogether..."

"What’s going on?"

Wang Zhan’s face instantaneously darkened significantly, and he instinctively paused.

Though he never recognized Zuo Linglong as his disciple, he’s long treated Zuo Linglong as his disciple!

Moreover, Zuo Linglong is very quirky and takes great care of everyone in the Sky Pavilion, earning the affection of the people in the Sky Pavilion, so Wang Zhan has a rather good opinion of Zuo Linglong!

But it’s definitely not some kind of romantic feeling, just merely treating Zuo Linglong as a younger sister.

Now, learning that Zuo Linglong’s emotional state was very bad, how could Wang Zhan’s face look good?

Li Xiaomei quickly followed up with an explanation, "It’s not because of the incident of getting injured that led to a change in personality, it’s because she hit a bottleneck during the elixir refining process and failed several times. It’s said she hasn’t managed to refine the kind of elixir she wanted!"

"Furthermore, during this period, she’s been flipping through old books, trying to improve the elixirs she’s produced. But as far as I know, she temporarily hasn’t found any breakthrough point, so her mental state hasn’t improved."

"But Brother Wang, rest assured, I’ve been by Sister Linglong’s side all the time, so if anything happens, I’ll definitely inform you first, and I’ll try my best to make Sister Linglong feel better!"

After learning the truth of the matter, Wang Zhan sighed helplessly, even if he wanted to help Zuo Linglong solve the problem, he probably wouldn’t have the opportunity.

Because in the means of refining elixirs, Zuo Linglong has already surpassed him, and the gap between them is even like a chasm. Even if Wang Zhan provides some experience, it would probably be useless now!

He can only attempt to have Li Xiaomei soothe Zuo Linglong’s mood and try to make Zuo Linglong feel better.

"Alright!"

After rubbing Li Xiaomei’s head, Wang Zhan laughed as he spoke, "Then I’ll leave the matters here to you, but you must remember to absolutely take good care of Sister Linglong!"

"Plus, I’ll tell you a little secret, Sister Linglong has some secret elixirs on hand, and the elixirs she’s refining now have a direct relation to improving one’s cultivation. If you maintain a good relationship with your Sister Linglong, perhaps you’ll eventually become quite like a strong person."

Wang Zhan certainly understands what Li Xiaomei most desires.

Since being bullied, she definitely wants to become stronger, even if it’s not to reclaim her face, it would be a protect herself.

Actually, everyone knows well in their hearts, the rules on the Star War Battlefield are such. To survive on the Star War Battlefield, absolute strength is necessary. After all, this is a weak-flesh-prey-history era, which is also the survival rule on the Star War Battlefield!

Li Xiaomei nodded firmly, "I’ve known these for a long time, so my relationship with Sister Linglong is good, Brother Wang, you don’t need to worry about us, with me guarding Sister Linglong, there definitely won’t be any problems!"

Only then did Wang Zhan nod along.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan and his companions left the Sky Pavilion, heading straight toward Gold City.

En route, Wang Zhan glanced at the Hexagonal Golden Snake beside him, then slowly spoke, "You’ve stayed on the Star War Battlefield for a long time, you should be quite familiar with everything on the Star War Battlefield."

"Since Zuo Linglong hit a bottleneck now, we can only search for some experts and impart some experience to Zuo Linglong, perhaps enabling him to swiftly break through his bottleneck and completely become a Grandmaster of elixir refining!"

"If there’s a Grandmaster of elixir refining in the Sky Pavilion, it would certainly be beneficial for you all. Even when your power reaches a level like yours, with the assistance of elixirs, your cultivation might still receive a certain boost, right?"

The nearby Hexagonal Golden Snake shook his head with a smile, naturally understanding the meaning in Wang Zhan’s words.

Then he directly spoke, "Alright, stop going around in circles with me, Old Man. I know what you really want, you’re merely asking me to help introduce some elixir refining experts to you. But I’m not very familiar with these people, yet I know a place where it’s said there are many elixir refining prodigies!"

"If we reach that place, I believe we could gain some unexpected rewards, which surely would aid Zuo Linglong somewhat!"

Wang Zhan’s eyes immediately lit up, quickly speaking, "Where is that place you mentioned? Once we finish handling matters in Gold City, we could take Zuo Linglong there first, I believe that little girl would be very happy!"

Even Wang Zhan couldn’t figure out why Zuo Linglong was so obsessed with elixir refining.
