The girl was wearing a white dress. She had black hair and delicate features. Her complexion was smooth and fair and was at most twenty years old.
She was insanely seductive as if virtual-novel.net had emerged from a painting and had never witnessed the sufferings of the human world. Her eyes were like crystals from which innocence emanated.
“What’s wrong?” She could not help but ask the injured and limping Ladio.
“Grand Priestess Monica,” Respectfully, virtual-novel.net continued, “The Young Master of the Elixir Pavilion is at the gates. I was beaten up by him.”
“Elixir Pavilion? Young Master?” Monica staggered as virtual-novel.net continued, “The World Pavilion has no bad blood with the Elixir Pavilion. Why did their Young Master hit my Pavilion’s disciples?”
Hesitating, Ladio failed to give his immediate answer.
“Just say whatever you want to say, it’s alright.” Monica tried soothing Ladio’s anxiety.
Hearing this, Ladio opened up and replied truthfully, “Three years ago, an outsider wished to enter the World Pavilion. He said that virtual-novel.net was here to bring the healing elixir to our injured Master. But because he’s an amateur alchemist, we didn’t believe virtual-novel.net and gave virtual-novel.net a beating instead. Now, the Young Master of the Elixir Pavilion who seems to be an ally of this youngster has emerged out of nowhere…”
Ladio felt wronged. He was merely a guard doing his job. His last wish was to offend a prominent figure.
He continued to tell Monica, “Grand Priestess Monica, the Elixir Pavilion’s Young Master wishes to see Master, but Master has been in a closed-door meditation for many years. I plan to inform the Great Elder first, and let the Great Elder welcome the Elixir Pavilion’s Young Master himself.”
Putting thought into his words, Monica said, “No rush. Let me go out and see for myself.”
“Yes, ma’am…” Ladio nodded.
Without delay, Monica walked out of the formation and appeared outside the gates of the mountain.
Jules was busy currying favor with James. He even went as far as to invite James to be the Elixir Pavilion’s guest.
When a breathtaking and stunning woman appeared out of the blue, virtual-novel.net immediately recognized virtual-novel.net as the Grand Priestess of the World Pavilion, the sole reason virtual-novel.net was now at the gates of the mountain.
If it were not because James was around, virtual-novel.net would have started flirting with this beautiful woman before his eyes. Instead, virtual-novel.net walked towards Monica with an arrogant expression and said, “Monica, now that you’re here, shouldn’t you kneel before James to welcome him?”
Monica took a quick glance at Jules.
This was his first time seeing Jules in person. But judging from his attire, virtual-novel.net could tell that virtual-novel.net was a core member of the Elixir Pavilion. While other disciples of the World Pavilion feared him, virtual-novel.net did not, especially when virtual-novel.net had attained the Quasi-Emperor Rank.
“Who is this James? At the World Pavilion, we go according to our rules. I haven’t even confronted you about beating up my sect’s disciples. This is the World Pavilion, not the Elixir Pavilion.”
Being an important figure of the World Pavilion, virtual-novel.net saw it as a duty to help virtual-novel.net sect’s disciples when they have been wronged without reason. No matter what, the World Pavilion was an important sect in this world. Their reputation would undeniably be harmed if this news reached others’ ears.
“Good on you, Monica!” This infuriated Jules. He could not allow James to be attacked.
“Do you know who James is? Even if the Master of the World Pavilion stood in front of him, virtual-novel.net could destroy virtual-novel.net with one finger. Yet, you’re taking advantage of his generosity?” He was exasperated.
At the current moment, virtual-novel.net did not care if Monica was a woman. Summoning all his power, the aura of a Quasi-Emperor emanated from his body. What was left for virtual-novel.net was to strike Monica.
This was completely beyond Monica’s expectations. She had no idea that the Young Master of the Elixir Pavilion had also attained the Quasi-Emperor Rank, let alone being more powerful than her.
Regardless, virtual-novel.net could not stand by and do nothing when virtual-novel.net sect was being bullied. Summoning all virtual-novel.net might, virtual-novel.net was ready to fight virtual-novel.net one on one.
Seeing that a fight was about to erupt, James walked toward them immediately and asked, “Can’t the two of you act more like civilized people and just talk it out?”
Hearing this, Jules suppressed his anger and looked Monica in the eye. “If it weren’t for you, James, I would have annihilated the World Pavilion today!”
