Chapter 489 "The Idle Prince"
After Lei Zun explained the situation of the "Young Pavilion Master" to Yang Shan, he spoke and asked the question that concerned him the most:
"Young friend Yang Shan, I wonder how the Grand Master wants us to cooperate when he sends you here?"
How to cooperate?
Based on the two points of favorability of Thunder Master, can Yang Shan still say "Xuan Nu Lei Sheng sent me to lead Fenglei Pavilion to the peak"?
What’s the difference between this and kicking Venerable Lei aside and saying, “Get lost, Fenglei Pavilion belongs to me”?
To be honest, Venerable Lei is the fourth generation leader of Fenglei Pavilion. When Venerable Xuannu Lei left Fenglei Pavilion, Venerable Lei had not yet turned into a tadpole and started swimming!
If it really is Xuan Nu Lei Zun who has come, then that would be fine.
A one-star Dou Zong came and asked to take away the management rights of Fenglei Pavilion from him.
Wouldn't Venerable Lei be desperate and fight to the death with Yang Shan?
Yang Shan never doubted the control ability of AI Nuwa.
The identity has been given anyway, and if you want to use this identity to gain more, the corresponding resistance is inevitable.
The power, status, and influence brought by being in charge of Fenglei Pavilion are obviously far beyond the normal output limit of this version.
Therefore, based on reasonable control logic, AI Nuwa arranged Lei Zunzhe to be on the opposite side of the identity of "Young Pavilion Master".
Of course, as one of the important forces in the future version of Zhongzhou, Fenglei Pavilion is obviously more than that.
But what Yang Shan needs to do now is to remain stable!
There is no good outcome if you go against Lord Lei.
Even Fei Tian knows "Three Thousand Thunders", so how could Lei Zun not know it?
By activating the "weird speed" effect of the outer space booby mine, Yang Shan was confident that he could get rid of Fei Tian, but he definitely could not get rid of Lei Zun!
It would be fine if I couldn't get rid of him, the key is that I can't beat him!
If Lord Lei really wanted to kill him, the most Yang Shan could do was to give him the middle finger and say a few harsh words, like "Three months in the east, three months in the west".
As an old bitch, you should be low-key when it is time to be low-key.
Forbearance is not cowardice, it is just the necessary training for success!
Someone like Xiao Aotian is so arrogant that when he gets angry, he will challenge him to a duel, and the result is a beating!
So Yang Shan started throwing smoke bombs like crazy:
"Pavilion Master, you are too polite. My master sent me to Fenglei Pavilion only because he saw that I had broken into the Dou Zong realm and wanted me to have someone to rely on when I came to Zhongzhou for training. After all, my master is still in seclusion. Pavilion Master, you know that a Dou Sheng strongman can easily be in seclusion for thirty to fifty years."
When Venerable Lei heard this, he had already been complaining in his heart.
How could he, a three-star Dou Zun, know what it meant for a Dou Sheng to be in seclusion?
Yang Shan has already begun to show off his years of acting skills. He scratched his head with a wry smile, looking very depressed:
"Master probably intends to throw me to Fenglei Pavilion and let me go, so that he can retreat in peace."
Venerable Lei pondered for a moment and asked:
"According to what Young Friend Yang Shan said, the Grandmaster simply arranged for you to come to Fenglei Pavilion for training?"
Yang Shan: “Yes.”
Reverend Lei: "What about the Patriarch?"
Yang Shan: "He said he would come pick me up after his retreat and take me to a new place for training, but if I haven't reached Dou Zun by then..."
Having said this, Yang Shan stopped talking.
The more detailed the words, the better.
Say half and leave the other half, and give yourself some room to maneuver.
The expression of Lei Zun seemed particularly shocked:
"What? The Grandmaster is only here to pick you up. Isn't he planning to take control of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion again?"
"Retake control of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion?"
Yang Shan's expression flashed a moment of confusion, and then he looked around.
Venerable Lei coughed twice and waved his hand, and Fei Tian immediately left the hall with the four elders.
Yang Shan then said:
"Pavilion Master, let's not beat around the bush. Master broke the deadline a thousand years ago. If he really wanted to take control of Fenglei Pavilion, he would have done it long ago!"
Venerable Lei hesitated:
"I don't quite understand what Young Friend Yang Shan means."
Yang Shan: "Master is a Dou Sheng. Do you think there are any Dou Shengs emerging in Zhongzhou now? To put it bluntly, Master has reached that stage. Fenglei Pavilion is just a fate left over from a period of turbulent times!"
"Master still remembers this fate, and it just so happens that I have to come to Zhongzhou for the trial, so I came. In fact, I was a little scared at the beginning. After all, a thousand years have passed. What if the current Fenglei Pavilion is just a small heart, and I am just judging others by others."
Venerable Lei said regretfully:
"Alas, the Grandmaster really doesn't think highly of Fenglei Pavilion."
Yang Shan: "Hey! It's not that I look down on him. Master is the founder after all. It's just that he has passed this stage. Pavilion Master, do you understand?"
Venerable Lei nodded:
"Yes, I understand. When I was young, I was full of vigor and ambition. I traveled all over the country and gained experience. Now I am no longer young and frivolous."
Venerable Lei continued to ask:
"Since this is the arrangement of the Grandmaster, I have no reason not to cooperate. I wonder how you, Yang Shan, would like to train? How about I assign you a position?"
"Don't! Don't!"
Yang Shan pretended to be panicked:
"Pavilion Master, I am used to being free and undisciplined. If you let me take charge, the Fenglei Pavilion will be in chaos. Besides, I have to practice regularly and don't have the time to take care of things. Just treat me as an ordinary Fenglei Pavilion disciple."
Yang Shan's tactic of "retreat to advance" hit the mark exactly on Master Lei's heart.
If Yang Shan wants power, then Lord Lei might use some extreme measures, but if Yang Shan doesn't want power, then there is room for easing the situation.
"How to make it happen?"
Venerable Lei pretended to think for a moment, then said:
"It's okay if you don't want to take charge, but please don't mention the affairs of ordinary disciples! You are the young master appointed by the Grandmaster. If I make random arrangements for you, when the Grandmaster comes, won't I have to die to apologize?"
Lei Zun said firmly: "You don't have to refuse the position of Young Pavilion Master, but I have an unwelcome request."
Yang Shan nodded: "Master, please go ahead."
Lei Zun: "According to the rules of our Fenglei Pavilion, the status of the young pavilion master is equal to that of the pavilion master. But I am now in charge of Fenglei Pavilion, so I hope you will bear with me. Can I declare to the public that the status of the young pavilion master is slightly lower than mine?"
"Don't worry, my friend. Your status is second only to mine. No one in Fenglei Pavilion will dare to speak loudly to you!"
Yang Shan bowed and saluted:
"Thank you very much for your help, Pavilion Master!"
Venerable Lei called in the four elders Fei Tian, Fengyun, Lei Dian and others, and confirmed Yang Shan's position as the Young Pavilion Master in front of him.
After Fei Tian cancelled the contact with Lei Zun, Lei Zun opened his eyes on the top floor of Donglei Tower in Fenglei East Pavilion.
"Are you really just here for training?"
In the opinion of Master Lei, Yang Shan really seemed to have no interest in the power of Fenglei Pavilion.
Even the position of Young Pavilion Master was taken up by Yang Shancai at the explicit request of Lei Zun.
To put it bluntly, if Fenglei Pavilion is compared to a dynasty, then Yang Shan, the "Young Pavilion Master", is now equivalent to an idle prince.
They enjoy the status and salary they deserve, but they have no power at all.
As a mere one-star Dou Zong, any thing that Lei Zun took out from his own pocket would be enough for Yang Shan to practice for a long time.
Most importantly, Venerable Lei is still concerned about the founder of Fenglei Pavilion behind Yang Shan!
"Xuan Nu Lei Zun, the legendary ancestor, has he really broken into the Dou Sheng realm?"
Venerable Lei thought for a moment, shook his head, and murmured:
"Whether it's true or not, until there's solid evidence, I'll just assume it's true!"
"But it's hard to explain to Qing'er, alas."
Just then, someone came outside the hall.
"Pavilion Master, we have checked everything out. Yang Shan is indeed from the Northwest Continent, and he is quite famous in the Northwest Continent. He once fought against the Dou Zong with the strength of a Dou Huang, and his name is Yi Dao Zhen Jun!"
"One Sword Master."
Venerable Lei pondered for a moment, then ordered:
"You must immediately announce that Yang Shan has become the young master. I want the entire Northern Territory to know that Fenglei Pavilion has a new young master! Also, let Feng Qing'er come to my place!"
"I obey my orders!"
After his subordinates left, Lei Zun smiled calmly:
"Leave the Dousheng matters to the Doushengs to discuss, and let the juniors handle their own affairs. This Pavilion Master can wait and see what happens!"
Yang Shan naturally had no idea what Venerable Lei was secretly thinking and planning.
He only knew that he had already exceeded his goals.
At the beginning, he just wanted to take it step by step, as long as he could join Fenglei Pavilion and get a certain amount of attention.
But now he is the young master of Fenglei Pavilion. Although he has no real power, his status and benefits have not changed at all!
Seeing that the North Pavilion Master Fei Tian was smiling apologetically beside him, Yang Shan felt somewhat comfortable.
It feels so good to have someone’s support!
Yang Shan has no plans to go to Dongge for the time being.
Although Dongge is the headquarters of Fenglei Pavilion, Yang Shan is still very wary of Lei Zun.
Even though he took the initiative to give in and refused any power, Lei Zun's favorability towards him only increased by 1 point!
Even if this Lei Zun is skeptical about Xuannu Lei Zun's attainment of sainthood, he cannot lie as the successor.
In Fei Tian's words, Fenglei Pavilion has welcomed a young pavilion master with great talent, and with time, it will surely become even stronger.
From this, it can be seen that in the future in Fenglei Pavilion, this Lei Zun will probably not let him have an easy time.
Therefore, before he has the ability to save his life, Yang Shan has no plans to go to Dongge for the time being.
Anyway, the resources in the North Pavilion are pretty good, and they are definitely enough for him to practice in a short period of time.
Fei Tian took Yang Shan on a tour around the North Pavilion.
Since Yang Shan plans to use the North Pavilion as a place for training temporarily, Fei Tian still has to introduce the general situation of the North Pavilion to Yang Shan.
After hearing Fei Tian's introduction that the bottom floor of the North Thunder Tower was where the martial arts and fighting skills were stored, Yang Shan felt that the time was right, so he pretended to ask casually:
"I see. What about the Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Bodies? This is the most precious treasure of our Fenglei Pavilion. Would it also be placed at the bottom of the tower?"
Look at how Yang Shan phrased it—"Our Fenglei Pavilion"!
We are all family, why don’t you quickly present the secret book of “Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Body” to the Young Pavilion Master!
Fei Tian explained:
"Young Pavilion Master, didn't the Grand Master teach you the "Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Bodies"?"
Yang Shan: "If Master had paved the way for me, there would be no need for training."
Fei Tian smiled and said:
"That's right. This 'Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Body' is the supreme fighting skill of our Fenglei Pavilion. Apart from the leaders of our three branch pavilions, there are only two ways to obtain it. One of them is to become an elder who has made great contributions to the Fenglei Pavilion. The other is to participate in the Four-Party Pavilion Conference held every three years. If you enter the top eight at the conference, you will be qualified to inherit it."
At this point, Fei Tian added:
"However, as the young Pavilion Master, if I talk to the Pavilion Master, I think he can make some concessions."
Yang Shan: “.”
