Chapter 527: Chapter 523: Meeting the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master Again

Upon entering the room, Ling Chen’s gaze was immediately captured by the white gauze hanging within.

The spacious and bright room was adorned with white gauze, embroidered with various exquisite patterns, splendid and breathtaking, intertwined into a beautiful scroll. Through layers of gauze, indistinctly, one could see a person seated in the center of the room, precisely the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master.

Ling Chen couldn’t help but smile wryly, this Pavilion Master was still as mysterious as before, unwilling to show their true face.

"We meet again," Ling Chen took the initiative to greet.

"Thank you for traveling from afar to aid Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion," came a clear, pleasant voice, making Ling Chen feel refreshed and extremely comfortable.

"Don’t mention it, we share common goals and should assist each other." Saying this, Ling Chen sat down in the chair and asked, "Last time on the boat, why didn’t you tell me directly that you are the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master?"

"What difference would knowing make? Sometimes, it’s better to remain ignorant about certain things."

"True, but I still want to sincerely thank you. The two pieces of information you provided were of great help to me." As he spoke, Ling Chen’s tone shifted, meaningfully asking, "I’ve closely studied the information about Ling Gengqiu, and it seems there is a part omitted intentionally. Are you afraid I’ll discover something?"

"Ling Gengqiu has some grievances with Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. There’s no need for an outsider like you to know these things."

Hearing this, Ling Chen shrugged his shoulders, suppressing his curiosity and not pursuing the topic further.

At this moment, an elegantly dressed woman entered from outside, saying respectfully, "Pavilion Master, the enemy’s offensive has been repelled."

"Let everyone rest. God Organization will not give up easily."

"Yes, Pavilion Master."

Once the person left the room, Ling Chen spoke, "Pavilion Master, I’ve come here not only to help solve the crisis at Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion but also to discuss potential future cooperation. I wonder if you’re interested?"

"Let’s hear it."

"Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has always secluded itself in the mountains, never getting involved in external conflicts. However, based on the intelligence I’ve gathered, God Organization now sees Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion as a thorn in its side, determined to eliminate it. Once you are destroyed, God Organization can clear the path and continue expanding its power. Therefore, Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion cannot remain uninvolved."

"You want Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion to join in the fight against God Organization?"

"Exactly. You must be well aware of the situation outside. Over the years, God Organization has recruited numerous masters and, with their unique methods, they can quickly assemble an army with formidable martial power. In the whole of Huaxia, apart from Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, there’s no other force that can match them."

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master thought for a moment, then said, "Things are not as simple as you think. Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has always maintained neutrality, never participating in any power struggles. It is because of this that Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has preserved its legacy for so many years. Many choose Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion because it provides them a peaceful environment. Once we declare war, not only will it break the long-standing rules of Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, but I believe many people will also choose to leave."

Ling Chen frowned and said, "Are you just going to watch as Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is oppressed by others?"

"For Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, the most beneficial approach is to negotiate, to try and end the conflict."

Ling Chen, displeased, said, "I always thought Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was a spirited organization, but it seems I’ve overestimated you."

"Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion follows the middle path. Especially in these times, surviving is the most crucial thing. Ling Chen, no matter how dissatisfied you are with Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, there’s nothing that can be done about it. If you were in my position, I believe you would also make a cautious decision. After all, I have to consider not just myself, but also the future of tens of thousands."

After hearing this, Ling Chen sneered and stood up, saying, "If that’s what you think, then there’s nothing left for us to discuss. However, I want to remind you, having fought against God Organization for so many years, I know very well what they are like. If Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion chooses to negotiate with an unscrupulous force like God Organization, I just want to say, from now on, Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion should stay out of the Martial Arts world and should also refrain from talking about ’justice.’ It’s not that you aren’t qualified, but that you don’t deserve to."

After saying these words, Ling Chen turned around and left the room, unwilling to stay even a moment longer.

The attitude displayed by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master not only disappointed him, but was utterly disheartening.

Upon exiting the room, He Ziyun and Xu Ming, who had been waiting outside, came up and asked, "How did your talk go?"

"Don’t even mention it." Ling Chen spoke with obvious dissatisfaction. "We shouldn’t have come here."

"Why?"

Ling Chen relayed the intentions expressed by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master, and after hearing it, He Ziyun’s aged face immediately fell.

"The grand Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is truly unworthy of its position and reputation in the Martial Arts world."

"Forget it," Xu Ming interjected, "What they want to do is their business, we can’t force them. Since we can’t count on Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, we can only rely on ourselves."

Zhou Jun quickly added, "Gentlemen, don’t get angry just yet. I believe the Pavilion Master will make the right choice. Besides, she only mentioned negotiation; we don’t know yet if God Organization is willing to negotiate. It might be that talks fail and we end up crossing swords after all."

Ling Chen indifferently said, "Who knows what the future holds. Let’s head back."

"Wait!" Zhou Jun stopped Ling Chen’s steps, saying, "It’s a rare visit for you all to come to Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, and you’ve given us great help, so please rest awhile."

"No..."

As Ling Chen was about to refuse, he saw Zhou Qi coming over with a few people.

"Ling Chen, don’t decline the offer. Stay with us for a couple of days. You’ve provided great help this time, and Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion will show proper hospitality."

"Elder Zhou, I..."

Zhou Qi interrupted Ling Chen, saying, "Come on! No more words. You, Zhou Jun, and Song Ge are friends. For the sake of friendship, can’t you stay a bit longer?"

Ling Chen was about to politely decline but heard He Ziyun whisper in his ear, "Stay for now. Later on, you can find another opportunity to talk with the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master and see if you can change her mind."

Hearing this, Ling Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright then. Since Elder Zhou insists, I shall graciously accept."

"That’s more like it." Zhou Qi smiled, patted Ling Chen on the shoulder, and turned to Zhou Jun, "Arrange a room for Ling Chen and his companions, and make sure they are well taken care of. Don’t neglect our honored guests."

"Understood," Zhou Jun replied cheerily.
