Although Xu Guanshi had a tough attitude earlier, when he saw Ruo Rui, his tone was very polite. It was evident that he knew Ruo Rui's identity as the supervisor of the Wan Gu Building. The Wan Gu Building held a significant position in the Guang Han Mansion, and as the steward of the Qi Pavilion, he naturally wouldn't offend her easily.
"Xu Guanshi, we are here to find Vice Pavilion Master Ge, who is in charge of the artifact master certification."
Ruo Rui did not mention that she was here for the artifact master qualification certification.
Xu Guanshi glanced at the remarkably young Qin Chen with confusion. What did Ruo Rui mean by looking for Vice Pavilion Master Ge for the artifact master certification? Did she still want to go through the certification process?
Xu Guanshi immediately shook his head and said, "If Supervisor Ruo Rui is here to meet Vice Pavilion Master Ge for the artifact master certification, then I’m very sorry, but the certification has been suspended before the heavenly work examination. You can only come back after the heavenly work examination."
Ruo Rui seemed to anticipate Xu Guanshi's response. She smiled slightly and said, "I understand, Xu Guanshi. This is Qin Pavilion Master, a distinguished guest of our Wan Gu Building. He is here to find Vice Pavilion Master Ge for the artifact master certification because he has been entrusted by a highly respected elder. I kindly ask Xu Guanshi to relay this message. As for how Vice Pavilion Master Ge considers it, I believe Xu Guanshi cannot speak on behalf of Vice Pavilion Master Ge’s decision, right?"
Xu Guanshi looked at Qin Chen with some skepticism, but upon seeing Qin Chen’s calm demeanor and the inexplicable aura emanating from him, he hesitated for a moment before finally nodding and saying, "Please wait a moment, I will go report to Vice Pavilion Master Ge."
Having the supervisor of Wan Gu Building come in person, regardless of the matter at hand, it was only fitting to give some face. Even if they were to refuse, that should come from Vice Pavilion Master Ge.
Xu Guanshi quickly left.
Qin Chen and Ruo Rui waited in the hall. Qin Chen slightly surveyed the surroundings; the entire hall had a folded space and was heavily guarded, exuding a terrifying atmosphere, but compared to Wan Gu Building, it seemed to be lacking just a bit.
Not long after, Xu Guanshi returned and said, "Please follow me."
Ruo Rui smiled slightly and followed Xu Guanshi with Qin Chen into a room inside the Qi Pavilion. The moment they approached the room, they felt a faint fluctuation of array formations and a strong presence of heavenly saint energy inside.
Xu Guanshi only brought Qin Chen and Ruo Rui to the door of the room and respectfully said inside, "Vice Pavilion Master Ge, I have brought them here. I shall take my leave now."
After Xu Guanshi left, a slightly hoarse voice came from inside, "You may come in."
When Qin Chen and Ruo Rui entered the room, they saw an elderly man studying a holy weapon, with a scruffy beard, exuding a terrifying aura. He was actually a half-step Earth Saint expert.
However, the half-step Earth Saint aura of this person seemed more vibrant than that of Li Luo, clearly indicating that he still had a chance to step into the unparalleled Earth Saint realm.
"It turns out to be Young Miss Ruo Rui from Wan Gu Building. I wonder what brings you here today?"
The old man glanced at Ruo Rui and smiled, though it was obviously a polite tone.
Ruo Rui didn't mind and smiled back, saying straightforwardly, "Vice Pavilion Master Ge, this is our esteemed guest, Qin Pavilion Master. Pavilion Master Qin is preparing to participate in the upcoming heavenly work artifact master examination, but unfortunately, he hasn't received the certification for Earth Grade Artifact Master, so..." Another one here to take a shortcut.
Vice Pavilion Master Ge had already labeled Qin Chen, interrupting Ruo Rui's words, "Young Miss Ruo Rui, I am truly sorry."
