"At least, she won us an entry slot." , Darwin said, "When the Underground Dungeon was first discovered, your son took an army of 10000 Second Awakening Stage Cultivators in order to win an entry slots. And what was the result? He failed. That's alright. After all, his opponents were tough one. I can understand the difficulty of this mission. But what about the casualties. Out of 10000, only 2500 returned. That means the cost of your son's failure is 7500 second awakening stage experts death. An heavy loss for no profit in exchange."

"But look at my daughter." , Darwin continued, "She managed to contact the Pavilion Lord of the Star Moon Pavilion. She managed to win entry slots for us. 2000 people were now in the Underground Dungeon. They are exploring the Underground Dungeon. While the other pavilions who failed to siege an entry slot were smacking their heads on how to win one."

"But at what cost?" , Dalton asked, "At the cost of 20000 Spirit Stones? What kind of ridiculous thing is this? And the other party has established their pavilion which spanned for less than fifteen days. If word falls out, what would the world think about us?"

"It's just the Spirit Stones!" , Darwin said confidently, "Compared to the casualties of 10000 second awakening stage experts and compared to the treasure in the Underground Dungeon, this was nothing. They are just Spirit Stones. Even though it was a loss for us, with our influence, we can win it back. But your son failed to win an entry slot. He failed. And along with the failure, he brought us an heavy casualty of 7500 second awakening stage experts. I think you are at least smart enough to see the bigger picture."

"You—Shut Up! Both of you just Shut Up!" , Just as Dalton was trying to counter, the old pavilion lord interfered.

Both Dalton and Darwin knew that once again they were going too far. This happened many times. So they knew that the time for them to shut their mouth has come.

The Pavilion Lord said, "Dalton! I mean no disrespect towards you. But I think what Darwin said this time is true. You need to accept the reality."

Dalton clenched his fists. But he didn't say anything in return. The Pavilion Lord continued, "Lansha has done a good job. Especially this time. And I appreciate her work."

"Alright father!" , Dalton said, "I admit defeat on my son's behalf. But what about the protective formation of the Star Moon Pavilion? All other pavilions are fighting over it. The Star Moon Pavilion might have helped us. But they set a price. So I won't consider as help. That was just a business deal. But this time we are fighting for the protecting formation that can even nullify the attack from the bunch of seventh awakening stage experts! You are also a seventh awakening stage expert father. Why don't you join them and see whether we can win that formation for our pavilion?"

"I am not interested." , The Pavilion Lord said immediately, "I already told Lansha about this. Do you know what her reply is? She said that at any cost, we should not partic.i.p.ate in offending Star Moon Pavilion! She had a feeling that there is some sort of secret hidden behind the Star Moon Pavilion. She felt as if that protecting formation is not so simple. No matter how strong that formation is, there had to be an opening hidden behind it. Previously the master level formation experts tried to find that opening. But they have failed. And this time, these greedy pavilion masters brought the formation Grandmasters along with them. And even they had failed to find that origin point. It was as if that formation was naturally formed."

The old Pavilion Lord continued, "And those inscribed runes were totally foreign even for a Runic Grandmaster to understand! A Runic Grandmaster felt that he couldn't understand even recognise the runes inscribed on the formation. What does that mean? That means this formation is definitely not originated from this realm. She suspected that this formation might be originated from the Realm of Celestials!"

Everyone were stunned. For a gra.s.s root pavilion to possess such a backup, they started to feel that Lansha's deductions might be true.

Darwin said, "That's right! And if that is the case, Star Moon Pavilion has a powerful hidden background. And this background might be originated from the Celestial Realm!"

"That's right!" , The Pavilion Lord said, "So despite the results, Lansha asked us not to make any move. If Star Moon Pavilion loses and falls, then it's their fate. At that time, the sixth entrance slot will be occupied by our Beautiful World Pavilion. After all, we are no pushover either. And we had no agreement on protecting the Star Moon Pavilion. So we are definitely not to the blamed for. But if Star Moon Pavilion wins, then all those old freaks will receive a huge blow. And there is a chance for us to raise our position as a dominating pavilion in the realm to one level higher. As we didn't involve in attacking the formation, we will be staying on good terms with them.

"So in either case, we are not going to lose anything." , The Pavilion Lord said, "So starting a fight over a formation is not a good move."

"Can I ask you a question, Father?" , Dalton asked, "Why would you dote on Lansha more? I have been watching that for the past ten years, you have been taking her side too much. And your affection towards my son is declining. Why are you showing discrimination? You weren't like this before?"

That old Pavilion Lord went silent for a monster. He then sighed and said, "What if I tell you that Lansha has received a call from the Headquarters?"

"What???" , Everyone in the room were stunned. For them headquarters was a sacred place which they want to go at least once. But not everyone are fated to go there. In their long history, only two people were successful in going there.

The Pavilion Lord said, "Her business talent was recognised by the Headquarters. She was given a call. Even though she received a call, she temporarily declined it. She wants to make our pavilion the number one. Lansha felt that only then she had the qualifications to enter the headquarters. So tell me. Was my decision wrong?"

Dalton went silent. His silence told everyone his answer.
