1554 Pavilion of Knowledge
"How did that young man do that? Divine sense shouldn't work in the Purple Sea…" The fishermen were shocked by what Yuan had done.
The Purple Sea had a special property that blocked all divine sense from peeking underneath the water's surface, hence why nobody there could repeat what Yuan did despite being cultivators themselves.
Meanwhile, Yuan and Xi Meili continued flying north for several days until they could see a tall silhouette on the horizon.
"We're almost there." Xi Meili's voice was brimming with excitement, as this would mark her first encounter with another dragon clan outside the Ancient Dragon City.
After a few more hours of flying, they finally arrived at the Pavilion of Knowledge, situated in the center of a large island.
The Pavilion of Knowledge was an imposing, tower-like structure with a spiraling design that ascended towards the heavens, its peak lost amidst the clouds. The island looked like any tropical island, but magical beasts wandered freely. Most of them were around Spirit Emperor level, with a few at Spirit Sovereign level.
However, before they could even reach the island, Yuan and Xi Meili stopped when they noticed a figure approaching them from the island.
This individual was a middle-aged man with blue hair and azure-colored eyes who boasted the cultivation of Spirit Enlightenment.
"Welcome to the Pavilion of Knowledge. I am Xuan Wei, one of the Seven Scroll Elders here. How can we assist you today?"
When Xuan Wei spoke, his gaze was mainly on Xi Meili, almost as if he was aware of her dragon bloodline.
"I'm here to learn more about the Immortal Monarch," Yuan said.
Xuan Wei turned to look at him with a frown and replied, "You want information on the Immortal Monarch? Not only are you not worthy, but you won't even be able to afford it."
Xi Meili frowned and said, "Who are you to decide whether he's worthy or not?"
"Any information on the Immortal Monarch is sacred and priceless, and our Pavilion of Knowledge does not accept money or treasures for payment. The only payment we accept is information of equal value, and there's no way in hell a nobody from the Fourth Heaven would have information as valuable as information on the Immortal Monarch." Xuan Wei sneered.
"You're making a lot of assumptions…for a nobody." Xi Meili sneered back.
Xuan Wei frowned and said, "I showed you respect by personally coming out to greet you because I could tell you're of dragon bloodline, and this is how you treat me? You can leave now. The Pavilion of Knowledge will not serve you."
"If you want to show respect, you should've sent the head of this place to greet me. What is a mere servant's greeting worth?" Xi Meili shook her head, seemingly genuinely disappointed.
Xuan Wei's face darkened after being mocked as a servant by Xi Meili.
"If you think I won't harm you because we have dragon blood flowing through our veins, you're sorely mistaken, Junior!" Xuan Wei roared.
"Oh, yeah? I'd love to see you try!" Xi Meili retrieved Furious Dragon and went into a combative position.
Seeing this, Xuan Wei merely released his cultivation base.
"How brazen of you, Junior! This Senior shall teach you a lesson your parents never taught you today!"
Yuan shook his head at their situation before looking at the Pavilion of Knowledge and speaking, "To the Senior watching this, are you sure you want to let them continue? Her surname is Xi, and her father's name is Xi Shengmo."
"?!?!"
After hearing this information, the individual who had been watching them from the peak of the Pavilion of Knowledge experienced a great shock, causing him to fall back on his chair.
"Stop it, Xuan Wei!"
A loud voice boomed the next moment, instantly halting Xuan Wei's movements. He turned to look at the Pavilion of Knowledge with a puzzled expression on his face, and a silhouette approached them from the tower before he could even utter a word.
This silhouette belonged to an elderly man with long white hair, a short blue beard, and azure-colored eyes shimmering with profound knowledge. He donned a black outfit adorned with a blue scroll-shaped symbol.
"Grandfather, what are you doing out here? And why did you stop me from punishing these rude Juniors?"
However, the old man completely ignored him and respectfully bowed to Xi Meili.
"I apologize for my grandson's lack of manners, Young Lady. May I have your name?"
"Xi Meili. Who are you, old man?"
"Y-you! How dare you address the master of the Pavilion of Knowledge as 'old man'?!"
"Just shut up for a moment!" The old man snapped at him before returning to smile at Xi Meili.
