Yun Heng raised her eyebrows slightly.
The Chief Pavilion Master of Tiandu City's Wanbao Tower certainly knew how to conduct business.
She hadn't told anyone when she would arrive in Tiandu City.
Yet this manager had successfully met her.
It seemed Wanbao Tower had received word from Dingchuan City in advance.
They might have even sent someone to wait at the ferry dock for her every day.
“Thank you for your trouble.”
The manager hurriedly said, “Pavilion Master Yun is an honored guest of our Wanbao Tower. This is only as it should be.”
Yun Heng put away the Liujing Vessel and followed the manager toward Tiandu City.
Before even reaching the city gates, she saw queues so long that their ends were lost to sight.
Several lines of people entering the city stretched from the gates far into the distance.
From where Yun Heng stood, she could not even see where the gates actually were.
The manager pointed toward a much less crowded path to the side.
“Pavilion Master Yun, please come this way.”
Yun Heng followed him over.
“No need to queue?”
“This is a fast-track lane specifically established by Tiandu City for major organizations like Wanbao Tower,” the manager explained. “One only needs to present the corresponding token and complete a simple inspection to enter.”
Yun Heng nodded.
She hadn't expected to enjoy the benefits of VIP treatment one day.
The two arrived at the side of the city gates.
There were also cultivators guarding this area.
The Wanbao Tower manager took out a token and handed it to the guarding cultivator for inspection.
Once the cultivator confirmed there were no issues with the token, his attitude became extremely respectful.
“Please, after you.”
Yun Heng did not even need to produce her Rogue Cultivator Jade Slip.
The two entered Tiandu City smoothly.
The moment they passed through the city gates, the sight before her made Yun Heng's eyes light up.
As expected of the number one city on the Taiyan Continent.
The main street inside Tiandu City was wide enough for dozens of spirit beast carriages to pass abreast, and the ground was paved entirely with smooth, bluish-white spirit stones.
Towers and pavilions lined both sides of the street, each building constructed with extreme refinement.
Some high-rise buildings were dozens of stories tall, and in the distance, white jade bridges could be seen spanning across the streets, connecting different towers.
The cultivators passing by were dressed in luxurious attire, and their cultivation levels were generally not low.
From time to time, delegations from various major sects and great families could be seen passing by.
Yun Heng, who had been highly conspicuous in the Eastern Region and Dingchuan City, actually did not seem so unusual upon arriving in Tiandu City.
The luxurious ink-black dress she wore could only be considered normal attire when placed in this crowd.
Yun Heng observed Tiandu City while following the manager toward Wanbao Tower.
Before long, an exceptionally tall tower appeared ahead.
Tiandu City's Wanbao Tower was built entirely of white jade and dark gold, with a massive golden plaque hanging above the main entrance. Just standing outside, one could feel the powerful aura radiating from the arrays within the tower.
“Our Chief Pavilion Master is currently waiting for you in the meeting room.”
Yun Heng nodded and followed him upstairs.
The two arrived before a carved wooden door.
The manager raised his hand and knocked.
“Pavilion Master. Pavilion Master Yun has arrived.”
A gentle female voice soon came from inside.
“Please show her in.”
The manager pushed open the door and stepped aside, gesturing for her to enter.
“Pavilion Master Yun, please.”
Yun Heng walked into the meeting room and immediately saw the female cultivator sitting inside.
The female cultivator wore a deep blue robe, her pitch-black hair simply held up by a white jade hairpin.
Her features were gentle, and a faint smile played at the corners of her lips, making her look very approachable.
Behind her, the manager had already closed the door and departed.
Only Yun Heng and the female cultivator remained in the room.
The female cultivator pointed to the seat opposite her.
“Young Lord Yun, please take a seat.”
“Thank you.”
Yun Heng did not stand on ceremony and walked straight over to sit opposite her.
【Host, this person is named Lan Yu.】
【She is the Chief Pavilion Master of the entire Taiyan Continent's Wanbao Pavilion, and her cultivation is at the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm.】
【The Wanbao Pavilions and Wanbao Towers currently spread across the Taiyan Continent were all founded by her single-handedly.】
Yun Heng was secretly startled.
She had not expected at all that this gentle-looking female cultivator would possess such formidable cultivation.
To be able to establish Wanbao Pavilion in such a dangerous cultivation world and open branches all over the Taiyan Continent, Lan Yu was definitely not as simple as she appeared on the surface.
Lan Yu was also quietly observing Yun Heng.
After a moment, she spoke, “I have long heard of Young Lord Yun's great name. Meeting you today, you indeed live up to your reputation.”
“The Pavilion Master flatters me.”
Lan Yu smiled slightly.
“Young Lord Yun's visit to Tiandu City this time must be to participate in the Five Domains Prodigy Gathering, yes?”
“Indeed.”
“Since Young Lord Yun is both the Vice Pavilion Master of the Eastern Region's Wanbao Pavilion and the successor of the Yun Family, upon your arrival in Tiandu City, our Wanbao Tower will naturally do our utmost to host you,” Lan Yu said.
“A manager will take Young Lord Yun to the guest rooms shortly. As long as Young Lord Yun is in Tiandu City, you may stay at Wanbao Tower.”
Yun Heng nodded.
“Thank you.”
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Yun Heng stood up and left the meeting room.
The manager waiting outside quickly came forward to greet her, leading her to the pre-prepared guest room.
On the other side, Lan Yu remained seated in the room.
Her brow furrowed slightly as she tapped her fingers idly on the table.
After a moment, a knock sounded at the door again.
“Pavilion Master.”
“Come in.”
The manager who had brought Yun Heng to Wanbao Tower pushed the door open and walked in.
Lan Yu looked up at him.
“Did she come alone?”
The manager immediately replied, “Yes. Only Pavilion Master Yun disembarked from the airship; no one else was seen.”
Lan Yu's slightly tense expression relaxed a bit.
“I understand. You may go now.”
“Yes.”
Lan Yu sat alone, a trace of contemplation flashing in her eyes.
As long as Yun Heng did not arrive with a large cohort of Yun Family experts and did not act against Wanbao Pavilion, this Young Lord of the Yun Family was highly worth befriending.
On the other side, Yun Heng had already entered the guest room prepared for her by Wanbao Tower.
Just as she sat down, her Transmission Jade Slip lit up.
“Yun Heng, have you arrived?”
“Just arrived. I am currently staying at Wanbao Tower.”
Yan Yi's message quickly came through again.
“You didn't come to Lanying Pavilion? Everyone participating in the Five Domains Prodigy Gathering is staying here; it's a lodging specially prepared for us.”
Yun Heng replied, “No. I'm used to staying at Wanbao Tower. I'll head over to find you in a bit.”
Yan Yi immediately replied, “Great! I've never been to Tiandu City before. Let's go out and look around together in a bit.”
Yun Heng closed her chat with Yan Yi and put away her Transmission Jade Slip.
She suddenly thought of another person.
“System, has that Long Aotian... pah, Xie Wujiu, arrived yet?”
【He has arrived, Host. He is currently staying at Lanying Pavilion.】
Hearing this, Yun Heng immediately stood up from her chair.
It just so happened that Yan Yi was staying there too, so she could drop by and meet him.
Yun Heng walked out of Wanbao Tower.
Under the System's guidance, she walked along the main street toward the eastern side of the inner city.
Lanying Pavilion was situated on Yingxian Street on the eastern side of the inner city, not too far from Wanbao Tower.
