Immortal God of War

Chapter 1151 - 1086: Wishful Thinking!

In less than seven breaths, Fu An-shan and the other three appeared before the Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion, all bowing respectfully, full of reverence.

Besides Fu An-shan and Lie Yuan, the other two were an old man with red hair and a hunched old woman in black clothing.

The old woman in black said suspiciously, "Pavilion Master, is there a major issue happening for you to call us here so urgently?"

"And you have the audacity to ask?"

The Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion was furious.

"This..."

The face of the old woman in black stiffened; it sounded like she had made a huge mistake.

But she couldn’t remember doing anything wrong.

The Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion glanced at the four and said in a deep voice, "Did you attempt to block Ancestor Mu?"

The four felt a chill in their hearts.

How did the Pavilion Master know?

Could someone have leaked it?

Fu An-shan hurriedly said, "Master, your words have frightened us. We wouldn’t dare to block the disciple of the General Tower Master!"

"Still deceiving me!"

"Ancestor Mu came to me personally before, saying he wanted to purchase a cluster of Seventh Grade Fire from the Trading Pavilion. But Lie Yuan, what did you tell him?"

The Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion said solemnly.

The four’s faces changed drastically.

Who would have thought that for such a small matter, Qin Feiyang would go to see the Pavilion Master?

"Lie Yuan, I am very disappointed in you."

"You are only temporarily managing the East City Trading Pavilion, yet you dare to deceive and hide the truth. If you become the manager of the East City Trading Pavilion, won’t you be able to cover the sky with one hand?"

The Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion shouted.

Lie Yuan’s face turned pale, and he fell to his knees, saying, "Master, I know I was wrong, I will never do it again."

The Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion said, "There’s nothing to say; your time as acting manager is over."

"No!"

"Pavilion Master, it was all under Fu An-shan’s orders..."

Lie Yuan hurriedly revealed Fu An-shan.

Fu An-shan’s face changed, and he shouted, "Lie Yuan, don’t slander me!"

"Shut up, since when do you get to speak?"

The Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion raised an eyebrow and shouted.

Fu An-shan trembled and dared not speak again.

The Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion looked back at Lie Yuan and said solemnly, "Continue."

Fu An-shan secretly transmitted his voice, "Lie Yuan, if you dare to talk nonsense, don’t blame me for being rude!"

"Rude?"

"I believed your deceptive words and ended up here; you still dare to threaten me?"

Lie Yuan looked at Fu An-shan with bitterness, then looked at the Pavilion Master and said, "Master, it was Fu An-shan who had me block Ancestor Mu and threatened me. If I didn’t do as he said, when he became Vice Pavilion Master, he would have me fired."

"Hm?"

The Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion glanced at Fu An-shan.

Fu An-shan also started trembling and knelt down, pleading, "Master, he’s lying, please judge wisely."

As he spoke, he subtly signaled the old woman in black and the old man with red hair.

The two exchanged a glance and were about to speak to help Fu An-shan.

But at that moment.

Lie Yuan took out an Image Crystal Stone and looked at the Pavilion Master, saying, "Master, this Image Crystal Stone contains the words Fu An-shan used to threaten me."

"You bastard, how dare you do this?"

Fu An-shan immediately looked at Lie Yuan gloomily.

Lie Yuan laughed coldly and thought, "To deal with you, old fox, of course, I have to be cautious."

"Pavilion Master, it’s true that Fu An-shan forced us to block Ancestor Mu."

"Back then, Ancestor Mu caused the death of his son Fu Xiong in Qinghai City, so he harbors resentment."

"Master, we were also helpless, hoping for your mercy."

Upon hearing that Lie Yuan recorded Fu An-shan’s threatening words, the old woman in black and the old man with red hair immediately changed their stances.

Because it’s a good opportunity to take down Fu An-shan.

Once Fu An-shan falls, they will have a chance to succeed him as Vice Pavilion Master.

The Pavilion Master’s face darkened, and he shouted, "Fu An-shan, what else do you have to say?"

Fu An-shan was terrified and pleaded, "Master, I was wrong, I will never do it again, please give me one more chance!"

"After doing such a thing, you still want a chance from me?"

The Pavilion Master was furious, saying, "I made you Vice Pavilion Master to manage the Trading Pavilion well, not to settle personal vendettas. Without this basic understanding, you don’t deserve to be the Vice Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion. I think it’s time to choose someone else!"

Fu An-shan collapsed weakly on the ground, his face full of despair.

Lie Yuan and the other three were secretly pleased.

The Pavilion Master snorted coldly and was about to announce the cancellation of Fu An-shan’s succession as Vice Pavilion Master.

But suddenly.

He furrowed his brows.

He remembered Qin Feiyang’s parting words not to remove Fu An-shan.

What did that mean?

What did Qin Feiyang really want?

Suddenly!

His eyes brightened, and a flash of understanding appeared on his old face. He looked at Fu An-shan and said, "Okay, I’ll give you another chance."

"Thank you, Master."

Fu An-shan immediately regained his spirit and was overwhelmed with gratitude.

Lie Yuan and the other three looked at each other, unable to hide their frustration.

The Pavilion Master said, "Go immediately to Ancestor Mu and ask for his forgiveness. If you can’t do it, then you can forget about being Vice Pavilion Master forever."

"This..."

Fu An-shan was dumbfounded.

Lie Yuan and the other three secretly laughed again.

Everyone knows.

Qin Feiyang and Fu An-shan already have ongoing conflicts. How could Qin Feiyang forgive him?

So in their view, the Pavilion Master was deliberately pushing Fu An-shan onto a dead end.

In other words.

Fu An-shan’s succession as Vice Pavilion Master was already doomed to fail.

"What?"

"Can’t do it?"

The Pavilion Master said sternly.

"I can do it."

Fu An-shan quickly nodded, forced to agree despite being cornered.

"Then hurry up!"

"And for you three, you’d better be cautious in the future. If something like this happens again, I won’t be lenient!"

"Scram!"

The Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion shouted.

"Yes!"

The four nodded, quickly got up, opened the portal, and left.

Just as the four had barely left, an elderly man with grey hair emerged from the small wooden building at the back.

This person was frail and leaning on a cane with both hands, walking shakily without any aura, seemingly on the verge of death.

After the black-clothed old man appeared, he looked at the Pavilion Master and rasped with a smile, "You are wise, my lord."

"Why did you come out?"

The Pavilion Master hurriedly turned around, walked forward, and supported the black-clothed old man, with a hint of reproach in his eyes.

"I’m dying anyway; instead of sitting idly in the room every day, why not come out and enjoy the scenery outside?"

The black-clothed old man laughed.

This person was the Vice Pavilion Master of the Trading Pavilion.

"Don’t give up on yourself, okay?"

"Listen to me, quickly deal with those mundane matters at hand, then seal yourself."

"In the future, when I become a Pseudo God, maybe I can find a way to extend your life."

The Pavilion Master advised.

"Let’s talk about it later!"

The old man smiled faintly and said, "I was quite worried earlier when you directly announced the cancellation of Fu An-shan’s succession as Vice Pavilion Master."

"You noticed too?"

The Pavilion Master asked.

"Yes."

"Ancestor Mu’s intention isn’t to be here; he wants to torment Fu An-shan."

"This little guy’s methods are quite terrifying. It’s foreseeable how difficult Fu An-shan’s days will be from now on."

"However, if Fu An-shan can truly earn his forgiveness, it does mean Fu An-shan has certain skills, and letting him succeed my position wouldn’t be impossible."

The old man laughed.

The Pavilion Master nodded and said, "Fu An-shan does have abilities but is overly ambitious."

"Yes!"

"When Ancestor Mu came to the Divine City, the first person he sought was Fu An-shan. Unfortunately, he didn’t seize the opportunity, and the benefits went to Li He."

"As for Li He..."

"To be honest, I didn’t think much of him before."

"But later, after investigation, I found that he was always diligent, never boastful, never greedy for success, and always kind."

"In terms of ability, he isn’t inferior to Fu An-shan’s group, but sadly, he died an untimely death."

The old man sighed, his old face full of regret.

"In the end, we’re both too superficial, liking others to flatter us."

"And Li He was just not that kind of person, having very low presence."

The Pavilion Master smiled wryly.

"Right."

"If it weren’t for Ancestor Mu’s appearance, we might never have noticed him, so we must correct this."

The old man said.

"Enough talk. Let’s go for a walk together!"

The Pavilion Master said with a smile.

"Alright."

The old man nodded.

...

"That damn bastard Lie Yuan actually betrayed me!"

North City.

Trading Pavilion.

Fu An-shan sat at the desk, furious!

Yan Wei stood aside, gloating, then said, "Sir, this is quite strange!"

"What’s strange?"

Fu An-shan turned his head suspiciously at him.

Yan Wei said, "Even though Ancestor Mu went to see the Pavilion Master, Ancestor Mu didn’t know we were blocking him!"

"Right!"

Fu An-shan was taken aback, surprised, "You’re saying someone is informing behind our backs?"

"It’s very likely."

Yan Wei nodded.

He was deflecting suspicion.

Because.

Aside from Fu An-shan’s four people, only he knew about this.

Once Fu An-shan calmed down, he might start to suspect him.

But now, with what Yan Wei said, Fu An-shan naturally overlooked him and doubted the three of Lie Yuan instead.

Fu An-shan asked, "Who do you think is most likely?"

"I think all three of them are possible."

"Because they all covet the Vice Pavilion Master’s position."

Yan Wei said coolly.

"Sigh!"

Fu An-shan sighed deeply with regret, "I was so clever all my life but muddled at this moment, knowing they all have hidden agendas, yet I incited them to confront Ancestor Mu. Isn’t this giving them a chance?"

"Sir, it’s too late to regret now."

"The urgent task is to quickly find a way to earn Ancestor Mu’s forgiveness, because there’s not much time left until the succession ceremony."

"As long as you settle Ancestor Mu, there’ll be a turnaround."

"Otherwise, all your efforts will be in vain."

Yan Wei urged anxiously.

"I know, but I really don’t know how to settle him!"

Fu An-shan rubbed his head, exhausted in both body and mind.

Yan Wei said, "At this point, you shouldn’t worry about face anymore. Lower your stance and beg him; as long as you show sincerity, I’m sure he will forgive you."

Fu An-shan’s old face turned gloomy and uncertain.

Whoosh!

Suddenly.

He stood tall, nodded, and said, "Fine, I’ll beg him now, and after I succeed as Vice Pavilion Master, make him repay a hundredfold!"

After saying this, he entered the portal without looking back.

"Still thinking about the Vice Pavilion Master position? Wishful thinking!"

After the portal disappeared, Yan Wei shook his head mockingly, face full of disdain.
