Chapter 479: Chapter 475: Reunion with Tea Girl

"Right!" Zhou Qi suddenly shifted the topic and said, "There’s one more thing I almost forgot. Mr. Ling, you were the champion of this year’s newcomers’ competition. As a reward from the ceremony, you will become a member of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. I wonder when you will have time. We can keep it simple, just go through the formalities for you and Mr. Song. Once you join the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, we all become one family. No matter what happens, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion will provide you with protection, just like this time. If acting under the name of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, even the God Organization won’t dare to touch you. Although the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion fears the God Organization, they also dare not lightly provoke us."

Mr. Ling’s eyes sparkled, this sounded quite good. If he had the backing of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, he could probably walk more confidently in the future, who would dare provoke him.

"Elder Zhou, are there any other benefits to joining the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?"

"Benefits?" Zhou Qi said with a smile, "There are plenty of benefits. Since you were the champion of the newcomers, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion will definitely cultivate you vigorously. Within a few years, your strength will significantly improve."

"How will they cultivate me? Do I have to stay at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion all the time?"

"Of course. The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion possesses the richest resources, where else could you go if not there."

Hearing this, Mr. Ling hesitated. Being stuck in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion all the time meant no freedom anymore. Thinking this, he asked, "Elder Zhou, after joining the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, am I not allowed to move freely?"

"The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has its rules. Free movement is allowed, but most of the time you must stay in the Pavilion, unless your strength reaches a certain level, then you could be permitted to go out freely."

"What level?"

"It’s best to become a master on the Earthly List. With your capabilities, as long as you cultivate diligently, you could break through your current limits and reach that rank within at most five years."

Five years?

Mr. Ling was startled. Spending five years in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, given his temperament, he couldn’t sit still for that long. Besides, the outside world was waiting for him; he didn’t have so much time to waste in the Pavilion. In five years, by the time he became an Earthly List master, Nanrong Wanqing might have married someone else.

"No, this won’t work." Mr. Ling shook his head and said, "Elder Zhou, if that’s the case, then I can’t join the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. Sorry, I still have many personal matters to attend to, and I probably don’t have time to stay in the Pavilion."

Zhou Jun, who was beside them, couldn’t help but persuade, "Mr. Ling, this is a rare opportunity, you really shouldn’t miss it. Think about it, after five years, when you become the youngest Earthly List master, how glorious that would be, right?"

"What use is glory?" Mr. Ling said dismissively, "There are always higher skies beyond the skies, and other people beyond people. The Martial Arts world of Huaxia is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, you never know how many unknown masters are out there. Even if one’s martial skills are strong, they will eventually be surpassed by others, and I don’t want to become an obsessive martial artist. Besides, my personality isn’t suitable. I’d rather go back to my colorful world and be an ordinary person."

"As you wish." Zhou Qi finally spoke, "This kind of thing depends on your own will; the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion won’t coerce. Alright, if there’s nothing else, then I’ll go and respond to the people from the God Organization."

As Zhou Qi and Zhou Jun turned to leave, Mr. Ling seemed to think of something and quickly called out to Zhou Qi.

"Mr. Ling, is there anything else?"

"Elder Zhou, you remember Dongfang Yu, right? Initially, your people from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion saved him from our hands, and you promised us some convenience during the Heavenly Mechanism Great Ceremony. I won’t argue about the convenience, but you from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion should at least give us a reason, not let us suffer losses without knowing."

"Dongfang Yu... I remember now, there indeed was such a matter. Sorry, if it weren’t for your reminder, I almost forgot about it. The reason the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion intervened on behalf of Dongfang Yu is that he is a master on the Earthly List. Mr. Ling, in Huaxia’s Martial Arts world, let alone the Heavenly List, even Earthly List masters are quite scarce. Therefore, as long as it’s not too excessive, our Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion will extend some leniency and privileges to them, giving them a chance to reform. If they don’t heed the advice of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and continue to act recklessly, the Pavilion won’t provide any further protection."

Mr. Ling nodded, "Since you put it that way, I won’t pursue it. But if Dongfang Yu comes to trouble us again..."

"You have nothing to worry about. If he dares to harm you, you won’t need to lift a finger; the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion will take care of it."

"That’s comforting. Gentlemen, have a good journey, I won’t see you out."

The next day.

Morning.

When Mr. Ling got up, the port of Jinhai City was already in sight.

Due to the event that occurred yesterday, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion decided to end this voyage early, sending everyone back to land to avoid further unexpected incidents. After all, the Heavenly Mechanism Great Ceremony was already finished, except for the final celebratory ceremony which wasn’t held as usual, everything else went smoothly.

After packing up, Mr. Ling went to Qiu Yong’s room to greet him, then he headed alone to the deck.

Standing in front of the cabin door marked with warning signs, Mr. Ling hesitated for a moment, and finally gathered the courage to push open the door.

His main purpose here was not to meet the mysterious Tea Girl, but to inquire about the whereabouts of Porridge Girl. Since Porridge Girl left yesterday, he hadn’t seen her again. Mr. Ling had searched almost the entire ship but found no trace of Porridge Girl. Thus, he pinned his last hope here.

That night, he had seen through the surveillance video that Porridge Girl had entered and exited the room where Tea Girl resided. It was evident that the two women knew each other, and perhaps Tea Girl knew where Porridge Girl was.

Entering the cabin, before Mr. Ling reached the door of Tea Girl’s room, he saw a delicate-looking woman coming towards him, blocking his way.

Yesterday at the venue, Mr. Ling had seen this delicate-looking woman, knowing only that she was a member of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, but not her exact identity.

"Mr. Ling, I’m very sorry, but this area is not open to outsiders, please leave as soon as possible."

"I’m here to find the owner of that room. Could you please send a message for me, tell her I have something very important to discuss?"

"Please wait a moment."

Shortly after, the person came out of the room and said indifferently, "You may enter, but you have only five minutes."

"Thank you!"

Walking into the room, it was arranged just like the last time, with a curtain separating the middle. Behind the curtain, a delicate silhouette could be vaguely seen.

"Have a seat."

Tea Girl’s pleasant voice came from behind the curtain.

"What important matter do you have for me?"

"You know someone called..." Mr. Ling was about to directly mention Porridge Girl, but then he thought that the name ’Porridge Girl’ was only his nickname for her, and Tea Girl might not know who he was talking about.

He quickly changed his words: "The other night, a woman with a covered face came here, I need to know her whereabouts."
