Chapter 6030: Embarrassment
When Lu Shengfu, Lin Hanfeng and others heard that someone was coming, they all breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look inside the courtyard gate.
Three people came out. The middle-aged man in the lead was a seventh-level heavenly master, followed by two young men in the earthly master realm.
The middle-aged man was slightly fat and had a warm smile on his face, which made Lu Shengfu and others feel less dissatisfied.
The old man who was sleeping on the rattan chair heard someone walk out of the courtyard gate. He looked up and glanced, without any further reaction, and then closed his eyes.
The slightly fat middle-aged man bowed respectfully to the old man and then walked out of the courtyard gate.
This scene surprised Lu Shengfu and others.
It stands to reason that the gatekeeper must not have a high status, but looking at this posture, I am afraid that the old man is a hidden master.
Lu Shengfu secretly thanked himself for not contradicting the old man, otherwise it would be troublesome.
The slightly plump middle-aged man walked up to Chen Yang and the other four and said with a smile: "My name is Tao Yuanhao, I am the little deacon of Yunshang City, responsible for taking you to the Bayinyuan."
In Yunshang City, deacons are divided into little deacons and big deacons.
Little deacons have a certain status, but they are not middle-level, just grassroots workers, most of whom are cultivators with low talent but a certain realm.
As for the Bayinyuan, this is a special existence of the Tao family, which is specially opened up for the accommodation of the Bayin Pavilion disciples.
Of course, if the Bayin Pavilion disciples perform extremely well, they can choose to join the Tao family, then they can move out of the Bayinyuan.
However, it is well known that even the most powerful geniuses cannot be treated equally with the disciples of the surname Tao, and they are inferior to others in the Tao Mansion after all.
Perhaps, the only ones with a lower status than them are those Tao family children who were demoted to the Bayin Pavilion, such as Tao Sixing.
"Greetings to Deacon Yuanhao."
Knowing Tao Yuanhao's identity, Lu Shengfu, as the eldest brother, took the lead in paying tribute to Tao Yuanhao.
Others were not arrogant and saluted one after another.
"No need to be polite."
Tao Yuanhao seemed to be easy to talk to. He waved his hand and said to everyone: "Let's go. We'll set off now."
Immediately, the group entered the huge Tao Mansion under the leadership of Tao Yuanhao.
After they left, the old man lying on the recliner suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes fell on Chen Yang's back, and he said thoughtfully: "This kid's energy fluctuations are very unique, giving me a very familiar feeling. Is he similar to someone?"
...
Looking in from the huge courtyard gate, the interior of the Tao Mansion was shrouded in clouds, and nothing could be seen clearly.
After passing through the courtyard gate that was dozens of meters long, Chen Yang's eyes suddenly became clear.
A straight avenue stretched forward, and there was no end in sight.
On both sides of the avenue were various buildings, staggered and well-planned.
On both sides of the avenue, there were similar avenues connected, and some small roads were also divided. The road planning of the entire Tao family was well-connected and orderly, as if it had been deployed.
However, what surprised Chen Yang was that the wide avenue was bustling with people.
The scene in front of him was not much different from that of an ordinary city.
Cloth shops, pharmacies, weapon shops, restaurants, etc. were all available.
Of course, the biggest difference was that there was no inn.
Because the entire Tao family was surnamed Tao, they had their own houses here, and no one needed to stay in an inn.
Chen Yang observed the crowd on the street and found a very strange place.
Some very old people had low cultivation and had not even reached the Hexing realm.
And most people's cultivation was not high.
Logically speaking, the children of the Tao family who were not outstanding enough were all sent to the Bayin Pavilion. How did these people stay and gain a foothold here?
Not only Chen Yang discovered this problem, but Lu Shengfu and others also found it strange.
Seeing that Tao Yuanhao seemed to be very easy to talk to, Lu Shengfu asked, "Deacon Yuanhao, I have a question, why are there so many people with low cultivation?"
Tao Yuanhao smiled and said, "The entire Yunshang City is so big, with a population of millions, how can everyone be a master? After tens of thousands of years, it is inevitable that there will be some people with insufficient talent in the family. Can they all be driven away?"
Lu Shengfu was puzzled and said, "But what about those Tao family members in the Bayin Pavilion?"
"They?"
Tao Yuanhao looked puzzled, and then understood what Lu Shengfu meant, and said, "Do you think that those Tao family members were all exiled?
In fact, this is not the case.
They all made mistakes, but they were not serious, so they were punished to train in the Bayin Pavilion.
After a certain period of time, they can return."
After hearing this explanation, Lu Shengfu and others knew what was going on. They had always thought that the Tao Mansion was a place of survival of the fittest, and the Tao family members in the Bayin Pavilion were all waste scum of the Tao Mansion.
So, they looked down on those Tao family members before.
Tao Yuanhao was very enthusiastic. As he walked forward, he explained the basic information about the Cloud City to Chen Yang and others.
However, the people he met along the way were not so kind.
"It's someone from the Bayin Pavilion again. The Cloud Battle, which is held every five years, only decides five ordinary people. They are treated like treasures and sent to the Cloud to train."
"Although the Bayin Pavilion has sent some real geniuses, most of them have done nothing."
"Just wait and see. I guess none of these five people can stay."
...
Because Chen Yang and others were wearing the clothes of the disciples of Bayin Pavilion, others recognized their origins at a glance and pointed at them.
The Tao surnamed people who mocked and despised them were not as strong and talented as them, but they had a strong sense of superiority, as if they were born in the City of Clouds and could trample on the dignity of others at will. As for their own abilities, it was not important.
Facing the comments of others, the faces of Lu Shengfu, Lin Hanfeng and others were a little ugly.
After all, no one could stand being watched like a monkey by others, and being despised and despised.
Tao Yuanhao seemed to see nothing, with a smile on his face, explaining to Chen Yang and the other five, but he did not stop the ridicule of passers-by and ignored them directly.
"It seems that this guy is not a good person either."
Chen Yang stared at Yuanhao's back, and he despised this person in his heart.
If Tao Yuanhao really did not discriminate against them, he would definitely stop others from watching and mocking, and would choose to take the road with fewer people to send Chen Yang and the other five to Bayin Courtyard.
However, Tao Yuanhao chose to walk in crowded places, deliberately making them look ridiculous.
After walking for a distance, Chen Yang found that Tao Yuanhao was indeed taking them on a detour.
Although the Cloud City is large, the roads are well planned, so it is easy to see that Tao Yuanhao has taken a long way.
Not only Chen Yang, but others have also discovered this problem.
But none of them exposed Tao Yuanhao.
