758: Diary, Results

July 13: Nothing to do today, listened to music, played chess.

July 14: Nothing to do today, listened to music, played chess.

...

July 20: Zhou Huiyang, oh Zhou Huiyang, even if you are outside the Family, you should still practice diligently. From today on, you must not degenerate like this again.

July 21: Listened to music, played chess...

In a luxurious courtyard in the inner city of Ju Ling City, Zhou Huiyang looked at the diary in his hand, and a sense of shame and guilt welled up in his heart.

Ever since he arrived in this Ju Ling City, he had begun to slack off.

"Sigh..."

"It has already been Nine Heavens, I wonder if the Dao Lords of the Merchant Guild have made a decision..."

Zhou Huiyang sighed, silently putting the diary back into the storage ring he wore on his finger.

In his mind, the scene from Nine Heavens ago emerged.

At that time.

That Hua Qianshuang from the Dongxuan Dao Court was full of confidence.

Observing the expressions of those Elders of the Ju Ling Merchant Guild, even he, a junior, could tell that most of the Elder group was moved.

Although afterwards, it was his maternal grandfather's turn.

After Ancestor Lai announced his Family background, although it caused surprise among the candidates and Elders present.

It did not reveal too much inclination.

After all, the reputation of the Dongxuan Dao Court had spread for too long.

The Ten Great Immortal Sects of the Eastern Wasteland had dominated the entire Eastern Wasteland for too long.

This time, the personal arrival of someone from the lineage of Hongdao Heavenly Venerable represented the Face of the Dongxuan Dao Court.

Even a Holy Land should not let them hesitate.

It was just that the subsequent scene was somewhat subtle.

Usually, when the Ju Ling Merchant Guild selects a Guild Master, they would announce it on the spot after the candidates revealed their achievements and support.

Only this time.

The several Dao Lords sitting above announced that they needed to deliberate for a few days.

This not only shocked the people of the four major families of the Ju Ling Merchant Guild.

Even the twelve Elders in the Void Refining Realm clearly had some emotional fluctuations.

This action caused the Face of that inexplicably proud Hua Qianshuang to sink on the spot.

However, she did not act out.

After all, with four Dao Lords present, although she had a noble status, she could not blame the four Dao Lords for anything.

Zhou Huiyang's thoughts were messy; he did not know what method Ancestor Lai had used to make the several Dao Lord Old Ancestors so hesitant.

Now that nine days had passed, there was still no news at all.

"Huiyang, a master of the zither path has newly arrived at the Jinyu Pavilion today, are you interested?"

At this moment.

Outside the golden and magnificent courtyard.

A youth in his twenties called out toward the inside.

Zhou Huiyang's heart stirred, and he came back to his senses, his eyes brightening.

"Oh?"

"A master of the zither path..."

"Zhiyuan, your information is still as well-informed as ever."

As Zhou Huiyang spoke, his figure already appeared outside the courtyard, arriving in front of this youth who looked to be in his twenties.

The person who came was a member of the Chen clan from his maternal grandfather's lineage, similar in age to him.

The two had similar hobbies and had a deep friendship.

"Hehe, let's go, let's go."

The youth named Chen Zhiyuan smiled triumphantly.

He pulled Zhou Huiyang and headed toward the outer city.

Zhou Huiyang was in high spirits, having long since thrown the slight guilt and shame he had just felt to the back of his mind.

The two went together, passing through one pavilion and building after another, and soon arrived at the boundary between the inner and outer cities.

Clang~ Clang~ Clang~

Just as the two were about to step out of the inner city.

Sounds of bells rang out from deep within the inner city, spreading to the outer city.

Falling into the ears of the two.

"Six bell tolls... This is..."

"Has there been a result..."

Zhou Huiyang's heart shook, and he looked at his good friend Chen Zhiyuan beside him.

Immediately, they both turned back the way they came at a very fast speed.

At this moment, no matter how wonderful the Jinyu Pavilion was, it was not as important as this news.

At this time.

Inner city, within the scope of the Chen Family.

A middle-aged figure hurried toward a high pavilion.

Inside the high pavilion.

Zhou Tailai, wearing a headscarf, sat cross-legged.

He held a spirit pen in his hand, waving it casually.

Beside Zhou Tailai.

Chao Muxi was grinding ink.

Lu Qing and Lu Yan were guarding the side, occasionally adding some spirit incense to the incense burner nearby.

Although the three were each doing their own actions, their eyes were focused on the spirit paper on the Dao platform.

On the spirit paper, the lines traced by the spirit ink seemed to condense into a starry sky.

Within the starry sky, star signs were contained.

The star signs seemed to be changing at every moment.

Every change seemed to contain hidden heavenly secrets.

"Is Fellow Daoist Heavenly Strategist here?"

At this moment.

Outside the high pavilion, the slightly excited and hurried voice of the Lord of Jubao Pavilion came in.

Zhou Tailai paused his pen.

"Senior, please come in."

Handing the spirit pen to Lu Qing, who was watching intently and had not been affected by the bell sound.

Zhou Tailai stood up and went out to greet him.

Outside the high pavilion.

The Lord of Jubao Pavilion entered from outside.

"Fellow Daoist Heavenly Strategist..."

"Senior, congratulations."

As soon as the Lord of Jubao Pavilion opened his mouth.

Zhou Tailai saluted the Lord of Jubao Pavilion, a slight smile appearing on his Face, congratulating the Lord of Jubao Pavilion.

The Lord of Jubao Pavilion was slightly startled.

Then he reacted.

Perhaps it was just now that his own reaction had let Zhou Tailai see something.

Otherwise, there was no reason for Zhou Tailai to know the result earlier than him.

"Thanks to the great help of Fellow Daoist."

The Lord of Jubao Pavilion shook his head and smiled.

While the two were talking.

The three young juniors behind felt a stir in their hearts.

Senior is about to succeed to the position of Guild Master of the Ju Ling Merchant Guild.

"It is the Senior's own extraordinary talent."

"I just borrowed the power of the Family to help a little bit, it is nothing."

Zhou Tailai chuckled.

"However, this time, the Face of the Dongxuan Dao Court was rejected..."

The Lord of Jubao Pavilion, in addition to being excited, looked at Zhou Tailai with some worry.

He had just received notification from the Chen Family Elders and couldn't wait to find him.

He had originally thought that since Hua Qianshuang had intervened, he would definitely have no chance this time, and this Guild Master position would likely fall to that Yin Tiancheng.

Who knew that after nine days, he was given a surprise today.

"It doesn't matter."

"Hua Qianshuang cannot represent the Dongxuan Dao Court."

The Dongxuan Dao Court is not the Zhou Family.

Even Hongdao Heavenly Venerable cannot completely control the will of the Dongxuan Dao Court.

Not to mention it was just the intention of Hongdao Heavenly Venerable's descendant.

Seeing that Zhou Tailai's expression did not change, and there was no sign of worry at all.

Although he was still a little hesitant in his heart at this moment.

But things had reached this point, and he could only continue to walk down this path.

"Fellow Daoist, we can go to the Merchant Guild treasury at any time."

The Lord of Jubao Pavilion nodded, and then said another sentence.

This was a condition he had already agreed to.

The clan's Elder group also already knew.

This was originally an exchange of interests.

"No hurry."

Zhou Tailai looked toward the sky outside.

"Wait another five days."

After watching for a moment, Zhou Tailai withdrew his gaze and continued.

"Good."

Zhou Tailai, Heavenly Strategist True Lord, had a famous reputation.

Naturally, this had its purpose.

Although the Lord of Jubao Pavilion was also confused in his heart, why the Dao Lord Old Ancestors would give up on Yin Tiancheng, give up on being on good terms with the Dongxuan Dao Court, and choose him.

But he did not delve into it.

Since the result was good.

The intermediate process did not matter.
