This scene left the surrounding guests utterly astonished.
This was the master of the prestigious Hundred Fragrances Pavilion, a figure of considerable influence in Heart City. In the eyes of these guests, the pavilion master was a great personage, usually aloof and superior. Yet now he was utterly obsequious towards Lin Yun.
But everyone understood. After all, the man before them was Supreme Lin Yun.
“Pavilion master, I hear that private fights are forbidden in your Hundred Fragrances Pavilion. Today I not only fought but killed someone. This violates your rules. You will not try to apprehend me, will you?” Lin Yun said.
“Supreme Lin Yun, clearly my Hundred Fragrances Pavilion failed in hospitality, allowing that blind fool to provoke you. Clearly my Hundred Fragrances Pavilion is at fault. It is I who should beg forgiveness from Supreme Lin Yun.” The pavilion master wore a fawning smile and bowed repeatedly in apology.
Seeing this, Lin Yun felt a surge of emotion.
He knew perfectly well that if he had not yet participated in the peak competition, if he were merely at the Void Dao realm, even the final ‘Union Dao’ stage.
The Hundred Fragrances Pavilion master would never give him face, never adopt this attitude.
After all, the Hundred Fragrances Pavilion had a supreme backing it.
Now this treatment stemmed from his fame and the formidable deterrence of his supreme realm strength.
After all, even supremes from two top forces had fallen to Lin Yun. Who would not fear him?
“Pavilion master, you certainly know how to speak. Then I will be direct. I came here today actually to find you.” Lin Yun said.
“Find… find me?”
Hearing this, the pavilion master’s face changed abruptly. His heart pounded.
Lin Yun would not be here to cause trouble for him, would he? He could not afford to offend Lin Yun.
The pavilion master hurriedly said, “Supreme Lin Yun, I… I seem not to have offended you. If there was any misunderstanding before, we can certainly talk it out.”
“Rest assured. I am not here to cause trouble. I have a matter to discuss with you.” Lin Yun said calmly.
“So that is it.”
Hearing this, the pavilion master wiped the sweat from his brow and let out a long breath. His heart, which had risen to his throat, finally settled.
“Supreme Lin Yun, since there is a matter to discuss, please come to the elegant room upstairs.” The pavilion master hurriedly gestured invitingly.
“No need. Let us talk here.”
Lin Yun continued, “I have only one matter. I am now the consort of the elf clan. I will not permit the sale of female elves in Heart City. From today onward, the Hundred Fragrances Pavilion must not sell female elves again. Additionally, the female elves imprisoned here must be released immediately today.”
“This…” The pavilion master’s expression shifted slightly.
Selling female elves was one of the major features of his Hundred Fragrances Pavilion, a key draw for guests.
If so, it would cut off a major source of revenue for the Hundred Fragrances Pavilion.
“What? You are unwilling?”
Lin Yun said, “I am discussing this with you now. If you are unwilling, then I can only rescue them by force. Capturing female elves is making an enemy of the elf clan, and making an enemy of the elf clan is making an enemy of me, Lin Yun.”
Hearing this, the Hundred Fragrances Pavilion master jumped in fright.
“Release, release, release. Supreme Lin Yun, I will release them at once. I promise you now that from now on, my Hundred Fragrances Pavilion will no longer engage in the business of selling female elves. I guarantee it!” The pavilion master promised repeatedly.
“In that case, many thanks.” Lin Yun cupped his hands.
“Supreme Lin Yun is too polite. I dare not accept.” The pavilion master smiled dryly.
Then, the pavilion master instructed his subordinates to open all the cages imprisoning the female elves.
Once the cages were opened, the female elves, over a hundred in number, were all brought before Lin Yun and Zitong.
Zitong looked at them and said, “Fellow kin, I am Zitong of the elf imperial clan. Today my husband, the elf clan consort Lin Yun, and I have come specially to rescue you. Shortly, we will escort everyone back to elf clan territory.”
“Wonderful. Thank you, Miss Zitong!”
The female elves all knelt in salute, overcome with emotion.
For them, this was regaining freedom, regaining new life.
The Hundred Fragrances Pavilion master could not help saying to Lin Yun, “Supreme Lin Yun, in Heart City, though my Hundred Fragrances Pavilion sells the most female elves, it is not the only one. Others still engage in this business.”
