I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 1972 High position and power?

"Am I dazzled? Is the person next to the chief steward Grand Elder Liu Jun?" Elder Chen Shanhe had a confused look on his face, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself with a hint of disbelief in his voice.

"It seems, right?" Elder Bi You was also completely confused. His eyes widened with confusion and uncertainty, and he responded to Elder Chen Shanhe with a trembling voice.

He also couldn't believe what he saw. Although Grand Elder Liu Jun was a master of alchemy and had a high status, he couldn't just appear there easily and stand next to the steward.

The importance of the position beside the chief steward is self-evident. It is a symbol of power and status. Anyone who can stand there must be the core of power in the Divine King Domain.

At this moment, Liu Jun was standing on the left side of the steward. His face was calm, but his heart was extremely complicated. He wanted to keep a low profile, but the conditions did not allow it.

To the right of the chief steward was the adopted daughter of the Skyfire God King, Yan Li. She was wearing a fiery red dress, like a blooming flower of fire, beautiful and dazzling.

The three of them sat down together. There were only three chairs here. These three chairs seemed to be tailor-made for the three of them, perfectly matching their identities and status. They sat together, forming a harmonious and majestic picture.

Liu Jun looked past his master's wife and towards Yan Li, the adopted daughter of the Skyfire God King.

His eyes were full of complexity and depth, as if he wanted to see something from Yanli.

However, Yan Li stared at the center of the martial arts arena, where the opening performance was taking place, her eyes full of concentration. She didn't seem to notice Liu Jun's gaze, nor did she have the slightest intention of paying attention to him.

"Ahem," the steward, Liu Jun's master's wife, coughed lightly, with a barely perceptible hint of reproach and reminder in her voice.

Her bright eyes glared slightly, as if they could see through people's hearts, and shot straight at Liu Jun who was a little dazed.

Liu Jun finally woke up from his dream and reluctantly turned his gaze away from the figure that had troubled him.

Yan Li was wearing a fiery red dress and had a peerless beauty. She was sitting there quietly. There seemed to be an indescribable hot aura surrounding her, making it impossible to look directly at her.

However, at the moment when Liu Jun withdrew his gaze, Yan Li's body, which had been as tense as a bow with a full string, relaxed inadvertently, and an imperceptible softness quietly appeared at the corner of her mouth.

This ten thousand year fire ceremony was originally the grandest celebration in the Heavenly Fire Divine Realm, bringing together talented people from all over to witness the glory and splendor of fire.

However, to Liu Jun, all this seemed a bit boring. The so-called grand ceremony was nothing more than a series of fire-related performances and those stereotyped hymns praising the Heavenly Fire God King, which did not arouse his interest at all.

Liu Jun managed to hold on and look for a while, but his eyelids began to twitch involuntarily and an irresistible sleepiness quietly came over him.

However, the position he was in at the moment was the most conspicuous place in the entire ceremony. Countless pairs of eyes were focused here at all times, as if he was the focus of the ceremony. This feeling of being the center of attention made him feel extremely uncomfortable, and even a little at a loss.

As a typical poor student, Liu Jun’s first thought was to escape from here as if he was skipping class.

But when he quietly looked around, trying to find a corner where he could relax a little, he found that he was surrounded by bustling crowds and eyes that were always watching him, so he could only sigh helplessly, and continued to force himself to stay awake, enduring this unspeakable torment.

He simply didn't dare to imagine, if there really came a day when he inherited his master's wife's position and became the chief steward of the Palace of the God King, and had to deal with all those complicated affairs with a stern face every day, what a terrifying scene that would be!
Liu Jun had no idea that while he was bored, all the major forces had already exploded because of his sudden appearance. Countless pieces of information about him had already left the Skyfire Divine King City and were flying rapidly towards other places in the Divine Realm.

Quite a number of smart and astute people have guessed, based on their keen intuition and rich experience, that Liu Jun is very likely to be the next chief steward of the Skyfire God Palace.

This is undoubtedly an extremely huge change for the entire divine world.

It was because they knew too little about Liu Jun, and they had no idea what kind of person Liu Jun was. Was he a warmonger? Or did he have other personality traits and styles of behavior? This was extremely important to other divine realms bordering the Skyfire Divine Realm and could not be ignored.

"You, are you saying that my brother Liu has already reached a high position and has become very successful?" The fat man widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, and asked in a trembling voice.

The burly man with tiger stripes and the ape-like guy beside him nodded at the same time, their faces full of envy and endless yearning in their eyes.

They have been struggling in this God Realm for so many years, going through countless hardships, and have never even had an invitation to the Ten Thousand Years Fire Ceremony. However, Liu Jun, whom they have known for a short time, has now become one of the most powerful people in the God King Palace.

Yao Guangxiao, who was standing aside, had even more complicated emotions. He was full of doubts at the moment, and he couldn't understand one thing: they were both from the human race, so why was there such a huge gap between them?
“Hiss, then won’t I be able to walk around the God Realm with my head held high in the future?” The fat man danced with excitement, and the fat on his face began to tremble.

"You'd better hide your identity. Liu Jun is now in a high position of power, and his enemies should not be underestimated. Your flamboyant behavior may very well become Liu Jun's weak spot." Yao Guangxiao reminded solemnly with a serious face.

These words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly chilling the fat man to the bone.

"Well, that's true." The fat man knew in his heart that if he dared to loudly declare that he was Liu Jun's good brother, he would be kidnapped within a day, and Liu Jun would have to clean up the mess in the end.

"What is that?" A young man dressed in a green shirt and holding a folding fan, dressed like a scholar, suddenly sat down next to the fat man and asked with a puzzled look on his face. The voice of the green-shirted scholar was gentle and elegant, but with a subtle hint of teasing.

The fat man was startled by the sudden voice, frowned, widened his eyes, looked up and down at the young man in front of him, and asked in confusion: "Who are you, friend? Do we know each other?"

The scholar rolled his eyes when he heard this: "You are so fat, are you trying to make people turn you into beef balls? You can't even recognize your grandfather's voice? You are wasting your fat."

When the fat man heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he suddenly realized, "I'm here? Brother Liu, why are you dressed like this? I almost didn't recognize you!"

Liu Jun glared at the fat man unhappily, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and said: "Nonsense, if I don't dress like this, how can I sneak in? So many people are staring at me."

As the two were talking, the sturdy man with tiger stripes next to them also raised his head and looked in the direction of the chief steward of the Palace of the God King.

Sure enough, he found that the seat to the left of the chief steward was empty. Apparently, Liu Jun had quietly slipped away before the opening ceremony was over.

The tiger-striped man frowned and quickly turned his head to look at Liu Jun with a sharp gaze. He lowered his voice and said, "Brother, the opening ceremony hasn't even been completed yet, and you've already sneaked away. Is this really okay? If the chief steward of the Palace of the God King gets angry about this, we will all be in big trouble."

"Don't worry, that's my master's wife. She saw that I was almost asleep and felt sorry for me, so she let me out to get some fresh air." Liu Jun said with a smile on his face.

"Your master's wife? Are you sure?" Yao Guangxiao, the tiger-striped sturdy man and the ape man exclaimed almost in unison at the same moment.

"Keep your voice down, what are you doing? Why are you so jumpy?" Liu Jun reminded hurriedly.

After hearing Liu Jun's reminder, several people realized their own gaffe, lowered their voices, and came over at the same time.

"If the chief steward is your master's wife, then logically speaking, your master should be the Heavenly Fire God King." Yao Guangxiao explained patiently.

He had stayed in the God Realm for much longer than Liu Jun. Because of this, he was naturally well aware of all kinds of rumors, big and small, in the God Realm.

Among them, there are quite a few rumors about the powerful steward of the Palace of the Divine King, that is, Master Liu Jun’s wife.

It is said that when the Divine King Domain was just divided, there were many forces within the scope of the Heavenly Fire Divine King Domain, and they were dissatisfied with the Heavenly Fire Divine King. Then, Feng Wanqing, who had not yet become the chief steward at that time, resolutely led the army to fight everywhere. After thousands of battles, he did not lose a single battle.

However, this was not the key point. The most important thing was that it was rumored that Feng Wanqing was an extremely cruel person. Every time she captured a city, she would definitely issue an order to massacre the entire city.

Since then, the three words "Feng Wanqing" have resounded throughout the vast and boundless God Realm like thunder. It even reached the shocking level of making children change color and stop crying.

And Feng Wanqing has only loved one person in her life, and that is the Heavenly Fire God King. It is for this reason that Yao Guangxiao said that the Heavenly Fire God King is Liu Jun's master.

"My master is the Skyfire God King? Stop kidding, how can you brag about others?" Liu Jun said loudly with doubt and disbelief written all over his face, his eyes wide open.

Are you kidding! It's not like he hasn't seen the portrait of the Skyfire God King before. Not to mention his appearance, his extraordinary temperament and awe-inspiring majesty alone can easily beat Qing Fengzi by a wide margin.

In his heart, he felt that Qingfengzi might be some big figure in the God Realm, but he absolutely did not believe that Qingfengzi would be the God King of Heavenly Fire.

"I can only say that you are truly a child of destiny. This backer is too strong." Yao Guangxiao looked at Liu Jun, sighed deeply, and said slowly without further explanation.

He knew many humans in the God Realm who came here from the human world, but Liu Jun was the first one to have such an enviable background.

"Let's not talk about this topic for now. Boss Yao, I want to ask you something. I want to find the Nine Heavens Mysterious Sun Grass. Do you know where I can find it?" Liu Jun asked sincerely with an anxious look in his eyes.

"Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Grass? This thing is an extremely rare item, and it is almost impossible to find it in the hands of a living person." Yao Guangxiao frowned slightly and said after thinking for a moment.

"What do you mean? What do you mean there are no living people in your hands?" Liu Jun keenly caught the deep meaning in Yao Guangxiao's words and couldn't help but ask.

"You also know that what I am best at is conducting archaeological research in the resting places of others. So I once accidentally discovered some clues about the Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Grass in the resting place of a famous big shot." Yao Guangxiao explained slowly.

When Liu Jun heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and he secretly complained in his heart: What a piece of archaeology, there is really nothing wrong with this statement.

"So what's next?" Liu Jun couldn't suppress his curiosity and continued to ask.

"It records many events from the ancient times, including records about the ancient witch doctor Wu Peng. You should know about Wu Peng. He was the first person to discover and successfully plant the Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Grass and the Mysterious Yin Grass. So his tomb might contain the Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Grass you are looking for."
