Selena Yale looked at herself in the mirror and said, "Satisfied, very satisfied. I can't believe you actually did such a good job with my eyebrows. Have you helped your women with makeup before?"
"Nope, this is my first time doing a woman's eyebrows. It's getting late—we should head out." Evan Chu replied.
After that, the two left the room. Evan Chu gave Joan He a few instructions before leaving Frostbane Sect with Selena Yale. At that moment, he realized something important—Frostbane Sect actually didn't have a teleportation portal. He made a mental note to establish one once he returned.
Although Selena Yale was at the Saint Martial Realm, her flying speed wasn't very fast. Evan Chu was used to instant movement, so this slow flight felt awkward. He said to Selena Yale:
"Let me take you flying. At your speed, it's like watching an ant crawl—way too slow! Let me show you what real speed looks like."
After speaking, Evan Chu grabbed Selena Yale's hand. Before she could react, he instantly activated his movement technique, and in a flash, they were dozens of miles away. If Evan Chu went alone, a single instant movement could cover a hundred or even two hundred miles.
After several instant movements, they'd traveled a hundred or two hundred miles in just a few breaths. Selena Yale stared at Evan Chu as if he were some kind of monster, amazed by his speed.
"Evan, how can you fly so fast? Is there some secret to it?" Selena Yale asked softly.
"Once you comprehend the mysteries of space, you can perform instant movement. It's not easy to grasp, though—I only managed it inside a spatial black hole. Pretty impressive, right? I call this technique 'instant movement.'" Evan Chu explained.
"Maybe only a genius like you could comprehend something like that. A spatial black hole is way too harsh an environment for me." Selena Yale said.
Instant movement basically uses soul power, with very little consumption of Chaos Dragon Force. Evan Chu had experienced countless instant movements inside the spatial black hole, and now he could use the technique to its fullest.
With constant instant movement along the way, they arrived at Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion in less than half an hour, making Selena Yale truly realize how terrifying and powerful her man was.
Back at Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, the disciples respectfully addressed Selena Yale as Pavilion Master. She didn't say much about the title. Evan Chu's presence was also respected, since no one knew he was once the youth who killed dozens in their sect.
Even if someone suspected, no one dared to mention it. Now that Evan Chu was Frostbane Sect Master, that status alone was enough to silence countless people.
"Sister Selena, have you picked a Pavilion Master candidate yet? This is something you need to be careful with. If a sect chooses the wrong person, the consequences can be serious." Evan Chu said.
"Of course I know that. In my mind, I have two candidates—my direct disciple Sharon Lin, and my senior-martial-sister’s disciple Snow Lin. Both have reached the Ninth Layer of the Divine Martial Realm, and they’re measured and easygoing. Do you want to meet them and help me decide?" Selena Yale asked.
Evan Chu had planned to leave, but after hearing Selena’s suggestion, he thought it was a good idea. He wasn’t great at judging people, but Luna, the sword spirit, had sharp eyes. With her help, he felt much more confident.
"Alright, I’ll help you take a look. Once you’ve decided, I’ll head out." Evan Chu said.
Selena Yale and Evan Chu then entered the main hall of Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. Many people were standing on both sides; as the master of a sect, Evan’s seat was just below Selena’s.
Looking at everyone in the hall, Selena Yale said, "As Pavilion Master of Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, I’ve broken sect rules. I apologize to you all. In ten days, I’ll marry Evan Chu, Frostbane Sect Master. This Pavilion Master position must go to someone capable and responsible. Elders, Protectors—do you have any candidates?"
"Pavilion Master, rules can be changed. You’re the Pavilion Master—just make a new rule. If Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion loses you, how could it still qualify as one of the Nine Great Sects? Please continue to lead us; we’ll always follow your arrangements." a middle-aged woman said.
"Please continue as Pavilion Master! We’ll always follow your arrangements!" everyone echoed in unison.
Selena Yale was a little moved. After glancing at everyone, she said to the woman who spoke first, "Heavenly Fragrance Grand Elder, I appreciate your kindness. But since I’m marrying the Frostbane Sect Master, I can’t stay in Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion anymore. So I must step down as Pavilion Master. Don’t worry—though I’ll leave Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, I’ll always be one of you."
"If Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion ever faces hardship, I won’t just stand by—and neither will Frostbane Sect. Let’s not discuss this anymore."
Everyone fell silent. After a while, the Heavenly Fragrance Grand Elder said, "Among our disciples, only Snow Lin and Sharon Lin are qualified to be Pavilion Master candidates. Pavilion Master can select one of them for the role."
The Grand Elder’s words echoed Selena Yale’s own. "Does anyone have objections? If not, we’ll choose the next Pavilion Master from these two."
"We’ll follow Pavilion Master’s arrangements!" everyone responded in unison.
"Alright, since no one objects, Snow Lin and Sharon Lin, step forward. Sharon Lin is my beloved disciple and excels in every aspect. Snow Lin is my senior-martial-sister’s disciple, and her strength matches Sharon’s. Choosing between you two is truly difficult. Do you have any suggestions?" Selena Yale asked.
Evan Chu glanced at the two women, and was secretly stunned—their looks and bearing were no less than Selena Yale’s, and could rival Roxy Lin and Jenny Sima. They were truly dazzling.
If Evan Chu didn’t already have Roxy Lin and Jenny Sima among his women, he’d definitely want to make these two his own. But now, all he could do was admire them from afar.
"Pavilion Master, Snow-sister’s strength is greater than mine. You should pick her as the next Pavilion Master—I’m happy to step aside!" Sharon Lin said.
"Pavilion Master, Sharon-sister’s strength is just as great as mine, and as your direct disciple, she’s even more suited for the role. I’m happy to step aside!" Snow Lin said.
Both women were willing to step aside for each other, which was truly rare. Selena Yale was very pleased. She glanced at Evan Chu and asked, "Evan, who do you think is more suitable? As an outsider, you don’t know their backgrounds, so it’s easier for you to decide."
Selena Yale handed Evan Chu this hot potato, making him a bit awkward. After a glance at the two women, Evan said, "For a sect master, both strength and character are crucial. Since you both have excellent character, let’s compare your strength."
"It wouldn’t be right for you to attack each other. Here’s what we’ll do: you’ll each attack me once, using your strongest move. Whoever sends me flying the farthest wins, and the Pavilion Master position will go to her." Evan Chu said.
