Chapter 337: Chapter 337 - Elder Demoted
I couldn’t be bothered to deal with the Third Elder, as I had already prepared to leave the Divine Alchemist Pavilion and had nothing to fear.
A group of people stood under the sun, quietly waiting for the return of the Pavilion Master.
Time flew by quickly, an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Everyone was sweating profusely under the sun.
"Why hasn’t the Pavilion Master returned yet?" I couldn’t help but frown.
Mya Winona at my side said, "Who knows? These so-called big shots always have their grandstanding, right?"
I shrugged my shoulders, feeling that what she had said was not wrong.
Just then, a car finally pulled up at the entrance of the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.
At first glance, a shining Rolls-Royce was basking under the sunlight.
After the car stopped, two men got out quickly and opened the rear door.
Soon, a girl emerged from the car.
The girl appeared to be only seventeen or eighteen, with porcelain white skin, long and slender legs that were supremely sexy.
Her face held a hint of inexplicable coldness that did not seem to match her age.
I murmured: "Does the Pavilion Master have a daughter?"
"Stop talking nonsense! She IS the Pavilion Master!" someone reprimanded in a low voice from the side.
I was taken aback and gawked.
This young girl was the famous Pavilion Master of the Divine Alchemist Pavilion?
"The Pavilion Master... is actually a child?" I couldn’t help but blurt out.
"Told you, don’t speak foolishly! The Pavilion Master is already in her sixties!" the person beside me replied, glaring.
This remark further stunned me! This little girl was in her sixties? How on earth did she maintain herself?
"Welcome back, Pavilion Master!" the moment the Lord of the Divine Alchemist Pavilion stepped in, everyone shouted out in unison!
But the Pavilion Master’s face showed no expression, looking rather icy.
Despite everyone’s warm welcome, she seemed to take no notice at all.
Everyone made way for the Pavilion Master, reverence written all across their faces.
I couldn’t help but be curious, trying to release my divine sense to probe the Master’s ability.
However, the moment my divine sense reached out, it was abruptly cut off!
At the same time, the Pavilion Master’s eyes fell on me.
The icy look on her face intensified a bit more.
Not only that, but the Pavilion Master began walking towards me step by step.
Despite her youthful appearance, the overpowering aura she carried was enough to break anyone out in a cold sweat!
"Kid, you’re doomed!" Seeing this, the Third Elder couldn’t help but sneer in his heart.
It didn’t take long for the Pavilion Master to arrive in front of me.
She looked at me coldly and said, "You seem very interested in me."
At this moment, everyone was holding their breath in fear!
"Pavilion Master, he..."
"Did I ask you?" the Fifth Elder was about to explain but was coldly interrupted by the Pavilion Master.
The Fifth Elder instantly shut up, not daring to utter another word.
Despite this enormous pressure, I broke into a grin.
"Pavilion Master, as the Lord of Divine Alchemist Pavilion, I think everyone would be interested, don’t you think?" I stated frankly.
"Mason Raymond, mind your manners!" the Fifth Elder warned anxiously.
I didn’t seem to feel anything.
I didn’t believe that the Pavilion Master would cause me harm just for one sentence.
"So you’re the newcomer, Mason Raymond?" the Pavilion Master sized me up, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.
I couldn’t help but feel a bit strange.
Because... I somehow felt an indescribable connection to the Pavilion Master.
"Yes, I have had the honor of meeting you." I didn’t think too much of it and politely replied.
The Pavilion Master nodded slightly, then turned around to leave.
Just then, the Third Elder rushed over.
"Pavilion Master, I have something to report!" said the Third Elder urgently.
The Pavilion Master shot him a glance, signaling him to continue.
The Third Elder pointed at me and said, "Pavilion Master, this Mason Raymond has disrespected the rules of the Medicine God Pavilion and assaulted another person!"
"The young master of the Johansson family, Travis Johansson, came to the Medicine God Pavilion to get medicines and his dantian was shattered with a kick by Mason!"
Hearing this, everyone drew in a sharp breath!
The Fifth Elder looked extremely troubled, even breaking into a cold sweat.
"Pavilion Master, Travis Johansson was the one who started it all! Mason repeatedly prepared pills for him but he maliciously made things difficult!" Mya Winona quickly explained.
"Pavilion Master, just as Mya said, Travis Johansson did indeed intend to bully Mason." The Fifth Elder also hastily chimed in.
"Furthermore... it was the Third Elder who was supposed to be in charge of hosting Travis Johansson!"
"The Third Elder knew about the grudges between Mason and the Johansson family yet intentionally pushed him to host Travis. He can’t escape responsibility for this!"
The Third Elder remained calm, he lightly said, "I don’t know about any grudges, I only know that he assaulted someone, it wasn’t just any ordinary person!"
"Pavilion Master, he has violated the rules of the Medicine God Pavilion!"
The Pavilion Master did not utter a word, bringing an eerie silence upon the scene.
The tense atmosphere made it hard to breathe.
Finally, the Pavilion Master broke her silence.
She turned towards the Third Elder and asked indifferently, "So you think the alchemists of my Medicine God Pavilion should tolerate provocations quietly?"
With her words, the Third Elder’s complexion changed dramatically!
What... what does she mean by that? Does she think that Mason did nothing wrong?
Even I was taken aback! The Pavilion Master’s attitude was nothing like what I had expected!
"Pavilion Master, but... he still broke the rules that you had established..." The Third Elder was still pleading earnestly.
The Pavilion Master coldly replied, "Alchemists should indeed never resort to violence, but that’s under the premise of mutual respect."
"Are you suggesting we should bow and scrape when publicly humiliated? That would be disgraceful."
The Pavilion Master’s clear stance surprised everyone!
They even began to suspect if there was some special relationship between me and the Pavilion Master. How else could she stick up for me like this?
"Pavilion Master, after all, Travis Johansson is from the Capital City’s Johansson family. Now that Mason has crippled Travis, would the Johansson family just let it go?" The Third Elder embarrassingly continued.
The Pavilion Master coldly retorted, "What, are you suggesting that my Medicine God Pavilion should fear the Johansson family?"
Upon hearing this, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air!
It was clear that the Pavilion Master was definitely going to back me!
"Pavilion Master, Mason is tarnishing the reputation of the Medicine God Pavilion!" The Third Elder still wouldn’t give up.
The Pavilion Master’s expression finally changed significantly.
Even the bystanders were unable to resist condemning the Third Elder as a damned fool.
The Pavilion Master’s position was obviously firm. She would fully support me! Yet, the Third Elder was still stubbornly arguing. Was he courting death?
"Travis Johansson was supposed to be hosted by you, but you turned over your responsibilities to Mason."
"The root of the problem lies with you." declared the Pavilion Master coldly.
Turning to the crowd, the Pavilion Master announced, "The Medicine God Pavilion fears none. I will naturally explain it to the Johansson family."
"As for you, starting from today, you are no longer an Elder of the Medicine God Pavilion. You are demoted to an ordinary alchemist." The Pavilion Master stared coldly at the Third Elder.
