For a curious scholar like Zhou Zhuo, the Valley of Splendid Blossoms, where countless secrets are buried, is undoubtedly full of great temptation.

During this period of time, Zhou Zhuo has been imprisoned in the Shado-Pan Monastery, and he still doesn't know anything about the unblocking of the Valley of Splendid Blossoms.

Knowing that Sharlayan had a way to allow lorewalkers to enter the Valley of Eternal Blossoms for archaeology, Zhou Zhuo agreed without hesitation even though there were three conditions in the agreement.

"My request is actually very simple."

Sharlayan stretched out his fingers one by one and explained to Zhou Zhuo: "First, the Valley of Eternal Blossoms is not yet open to the public, and the archaeological operations of lorewalkers must follow the arrangements of the Golden Lotus Sect and the Shado-Pan Sect."

"Second, the cultural relics unearthed by lorewalkers belong to the entire people of Pandaria, and no one should hide them in private."

"Three, there are some very dangerous relics buried in the Valley of Eternal Blossoms. Once you discover something is wrong during the archaeological process, you must immediately stop the excavation and inform the Shado-Pan disciples outside the relics."

The secrets of the Vale of Eternal Blossoms are not even 100% understood by the barrage netizens. Sharlayan wants to find out the specific origin of the Pool of Youth and whether the Mogu ever used it when they came to power.

Sharlayan had a rough guess, perhaps it was this small magical pool that powered the engine of Nalaksha back then.

After being reminded by Sharlayan, the Shado-Pan had already closely guarded the Mogu'shan Palace and the Pool of Youth.

Now the Golden Lotus Sect and the Shado-Pan are stationed in the side halls on both sides of the Mogu'shan Palace. They plan to use the Mogu'shan Palace as a starting point to closely investigate possible threats in the Valley of Eternal Blossoms.

These two side halls are the Double Moon Hall and the Seven Star Hall that sand sculpture netizens are familiar with. In the future as they know it, they will become the main strongholds of the Alliance and the Horde in Pandaria respectively.

Sharlayan has no interest in boring archaeological work, and he has no talent in this area.

The higher-ups only need to control the overall situation, and leave professional matters to professional people, and avoid laymen commanding experts. This has always been Sharlayan's creed.

After hearing the three rules given by Salayan, Zhou Zhuo looked a little surprised.

"That's it? I thought..."

Sharlayan smiled indifferently: "Think it will be stricter?"

"Actually, it's already strict enough. You won't know the specific situation until you start working in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms."

"no problem!"

Zhou Zhuo had already forgotten about the treasure house of Mogu'shan, his mind was full of the ancient rumors that spread during the Pandaren Empire, and he couldn't wait to start discovering the secrets buried in the Valley of Eternal Blossoms.

Salayan had already obtained special permission from Liu He, and with his guarantee, Zhou Zhuo finally left the prison of the Shado-Pan faction.

Although Zhou Zhuo's combat power is about 0, his profound knowledge and strong action ability give him a high status among lorewalkers.

Since the Vale of Eternal Blossoms has not yet opened to the public, the tourists, like other onlookers, were stuck in front of the entrance to the Vale of Eternal Blossoms in Kun-Lai Mountain.

After arriving at the scene, Zhou Zhuo quickly gathered a group of elite lorewalkers, completed the registration under the personal leadership of Salayan, and officially set foot on the land of the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.

As a druid, Sharlayan could clearly sense the powerful vitality in the land below.

"It's incredible."

Sharlayan raised his eyes in the direction of the Mogu'shan palace, and he could vaguely sense the origin of these vitality, which was the pool at the entrance of the palace that was continuously steaming with rich magic power—the pool of youth.

Stepping through the golden steps at the entrance, you come to Qionghua Lake in the center of Jinxiu Valley and turn eastward. Two lifelike giant mogu statues appear in front of the group of people.

"What a magnificent statue!"

Zhou Zhuo and the Lorewalkers were very excited. If it wasn't for Sharlayan's reminder, they would have picked up their tools and explored the two statues long ago.

A small pavilion was built under the statue, named Gilded Pavilion, where the Golden Lotus Sect and the Shado-Pan Sect discussed matters together.

Before the safety of the Mogu'shan palace was confirmed, the Gilded Pavilion was the center of discussion between the Golden Lotus and the Shado-Pan.

When Sharlayan and others arrived, a fierce quarrel was taking place in the gilded pavilion.

Sarlayan had excellent hearing, and he recognized one of the voices as Liu He.

The young Zhu Taran waited outside the hall, forbidding any unrelated people to approach.

Judging from his dark face, he was clearly in a bad mood.

Sharlayan patted Zhou Zhuo's shoulder and warned: "You stay here first, I'll go and see the situation."

There are a total of 5 older pandaren in the gilded pavilion. Judging from their unconscious aura and clothing, these 5 people are the nominal top managers of Pandaria.

One of them was Liu He whom Salayan knew, and beside him stood a burly pandaren who was also wearing a black outfit, probably from the Shado-Pan faction.

Opposite Liu He and Liu He stood two gentle and well-mannered old pandaren. Judging from their clothing styles, they should both be from the Golden Lotus Sect.

The origin of the last pandaren standing in the middle is unknown, judging from his attitude, he should not belong to either side of the Golden Lotus Sect or the Shado-Pan Sect.

Those who were arguing loudly were Liu He and the burly pandaren from the Shado-Pan beside him.

"Situ Yuan! Don't you understand yet!"

Liu He said loudly with a gloomy expression on his face, "Even Emperor Shaohao agreed to open the Valley of Eternal Blossoms, which means that Pandaria has to change. Why do you still have to stick to the old ways?"

The black-clothed pandaren opposite Liu He had a very cold expression, and he threw out a sentence forcefully.

"The law of the ancestors cannot be changed, no matter what you say, I will not agree."

[Pfft I have national conditions in Pandaria? 】

【Grass, I thought of this too, I didn't expect that there are such 'talents' among the pandaren. 】

"you…"

No matter how Liu He explained it, the other party always looked like he was not interested in oil and salt.

Not only the Shado-Pan sect was arguing, but the two elders of the Golden Lotus Sect were also frowning and exchanging opinions in a low voice. Judging from the expressions of the two, it was obvious that they had different opinions.

‘Old and radical? Oh, it really is as black as a crow in the world. '

This is not the first time that Sarlayan has encountered such a situation where high-level opinions are not unified.

After a series of recent events, radicals who were originally at an absolute disadvantage have risen.

It happened to be a 2-2 match between the Shado-Pan faction and the top leaders of the Golden Lotus Sect. Only the unidentified pandaren never made a statement. The old **** stood there with his eyes closed and rested, patiently waiting for the two sides to finish their quarrel.

"Head Liu He took the liberty to visit, didn't he bother you?"

Seeing that these four people were arguing endlessly, Sharlayan could only bite the bullet and stand up to temporarily interrupt their war of words.

Liu He smiled wryly and nodded to Salayan, his sharp eyes seemed to glance unintentionally at the wandering scholars who were blocked outside the pavilion.

"Earl Deep Shadow, I am laughing at you, we... can't agree on it for the time being."

After Liu He's explanation, Salayan knew the source of their dispute.

It sounds complicated, but it's nothing more than a **** problem.

The radical faction had the upper hand because Shaohao agreed to open the Valley of Eternal Blossoms. They wanted to take advantage of the victory to complete the exploration of the Valley of Eternal Blossoms as soon as possible, and open this sacred valley to all pandaren people.

The conservatives who insisted on the immutability of the law of the ancestors hated this matter, but they could not go against Shaohao's own wishes, and they couldn't go against the decision of the four gods.

Therefore, the conservative faction is playing fish while exploring the Valley of Eternal Blossoms. Not only does it not help, but it deliberately delays the opening of the Valley of Eternal Blossoms in many places.

Liu He is undoubtedly a member of the Radical Faction. He stands on the same side as the Great Elder of the Golden Lotus Sect who advocates openness, trying to use the opening of Jinxiu Valley to completely defeat the basic base of the conservative faction.

Of course, the head of the Golden Lotus Sect and the elder of the Shado-Pan Sect could not allow them to expand their power.

After Liu He's introduction, Salayan knew the identity of the pandaren who didn't help each other.

His name is Yu Jing, and he is from the Knights of the Cloud Serpent, representing the will of the Supreme God.

The Supreme Celestial God usually does not intervene in the daily management of the pandaren, and will only stand up to smooth things over when there is too much trouble between the two sides.

Anyway, the fog couldn't be cleared for the time being. Sarlayan had no interest in the pandaren's internal struggles, so he didn't plan to intervene rashly.

Ignoring Liu He's gaze, Sarlayan said in a business-like manner: "I brought the lorewalkers, and they can't wait. Let's discuss where to start digging."

Situ Yuan, the great elder of the Shado-Pan sect, and Yuan Shu, the head of the Golden Lotus Sect, looked at each other, and they frowned at the same time.

Although Sharlayan, an outsider, was smart enough not to intervene in the internal disputes of the Pandaren~lightnovelpub.net~, but his behavior was to support the radical faction in a substantial sense.

It's hard to say anything if you stick to the old school. Excavating the ruins of the Vale of Eternal Blossoms can indeed bring great benefits to the pandaren.

"Um…"

Yuan Shu looked benevolent, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"Zhou Zhuo...isn't it?"

"The Shado-Pan is still searching for the danger of the Mogu'shan Palace, and it is temporarily closed to the public. You should start archaeological work from the Gilded Pavilion to Qionghua Lake."

"Remember, don't make claims without authorization, and report anything dug up in time."

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Zhou Zhuo's eyes. The location Yuan Shu drew was a large plain by the lake, and there was nothing worth exploring at all. It was obvious that he was looking for faults to delay time.

Under the signal from Salayan's eyes, Zhou Zhuo held back his dissatisfaction, bowed his head and cupped his hands and said, "Yes, we'll start now."
