Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 271 Steady Start

Gao Xingchen gently held Nan Li's hand and gave her a soothing look. Although the news brought by Granny Zhao was worrying, it was not the time to worry. The conspiracy of the mysterious force was still shrouded in fog. Instead of waiting for death, it was better to deal with the current affairs first and accumulate strength for the future.

"Granny Zhao, don't worry, we will be prepared." Gao Xingchen said firmly, with confidence shining in his eyes. "The Xingchen Pavilion was established to protect the peace of the star field. We will never let anyone destroy it."

Nan Li also nodded and agreed: "Xingchen is right. When an enemy comes, we will fight him with our generals; when a flood comes, we will block it with earth. As long as we unite as one, we will be able to overcome all difficulties."

Granny Zhao looked at the young couple in front of her with hope in her heart. Although they were young, they possessed strong strength and firm belief. She believed that the future of the star field would be in their hands.

After bidding farewell to Granny Zhao, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li returned to the base of the Xingchen Mountains. After this period of renovation, the base has been completely renewed and full of vitality. On the towering Xingchen Peak, exquisite lofts are scattered in an orderly manner, like a fairyland.

"This will be our new starting point." Gao Xingchen pointed to the mountain in the distance and said to Nan Li beside him, "We are going to build a powerful Star Pavilion here, a force that can protect the peace of the star field!"

There was a gleam of excitement in Nan Li's beautiful eyes. She had always believed that Gao Xingchen could create miracles. Now, seeing him achieving his goals step by step, her heart was filled with pride and honor.

"Xingchen, have you thought it through? How do you plan for the future of Xingchen Pavilion?" Nanli asked.

Gao Xingchen nodded, took out a parchment scroll from his bosom, and slowly unfolded it. It was densely packed with records of his plan, and every detail was carefully considered.

"The Star Pavilion was established to maintain peace in the star field, not to fight for power and profit." Gao Xingchen pointed to the contents on the scroll and explained to Nan Li, "Therefore, we must formulate a complete set of rules and regulations to constrain the behavior of members and ensure that the Star Pavilion does not go astray."

Nan Li listened carefully and offered his own opinions and suggestions from time to time. During the heated discussion, the two gradually improved the internal management system of Xingchen Pavilion and formulated a series of development strategies.

In order to recruit more people with lofty ideals to join Xingchen Pavilion, Gao Xingchen gave the task of recruitment to Xuanfeng. With his keen insight and excellent communication skills, Xuanfeng widely sent out invitations to heroes in various places, attracting the attention of many young warriors.

After layers of selection, a group of talented and well-behaved young warriors joined the Xingchen Pavilion, injecting fresh blood into this new organization. Under the leadership of Gao Xingchen and Nan Li, they will fight side by side to protect the peace of the star field.

The construction of the Star Pavilion was in full swing, and at this time, a guest from afar, with his sincerity, set out on the road to the Star Mountains...

The arrival of Li Fushang injected a strong impetus into the development of Xingchen Pavilion. He not only brought abundant funds, but also precious building materials and experienced craftsmen. With the full support of Li Fushang, a magnificent Xingchen City rose from the ground at the foot of the mountains.

The wide streets were paved with smooth bluestone slabs, and on both sides were shops and houses of uniform style. On the towering city walls, guards patrolled day and night, watching the distance vigilantly. In Xingchen City, all kinds of facilities were available, including training rooms and competition arenas for practitioners, as well as inns, restaurants, shops, etc. for ordinary people to live in. Exquisite attics were scattered in the city, where the members of Xingchen Pavilion lived and practiced.

The establishment of Xingchen City marked that Xingchen Pavilion had officially embarked on the fast track of development. More and more practitioners came here to join this promising organization. Gao Xingchen did not relax the requirements for members. He personally participated in every assessment to ensure that only those with real talent and moral character could join Xingchen Pavilion.

Master Zhao, the veteran and powerful man who once dominated the world, has now become the chief training coach of Xingchen Pavilion. He has taught all his life's knowledge and trained the new members into a disciplined and powerful team.

"Members of the Star Pavilion must not only be skilled in martial arts, but also have a sense of justice!" Hall Master Zhao stood on the training ground, his loud voice reaching every corner, "We must remember that the swords in our hands are for protecting the peace of the star field, not for killing!"

The new members listened attentively, with a determined light in their eyes. They came from different families and sects, but at this moment, they all had a common goal, which was to protect the peace of the star field and prevent this land from being invaded by war.

As night fell, the lights of Xingchen City were bright. Gao Xingchen stood on the top of Xingchen Peak, looking at the brightly lit city in the distance, his heart filled with emotion. Xingchen Pavilion had gone from nothing to something, from weak to strong, and had experienced countless ups and downs. Now, it finally saw the dawn of hope.

"Xingchen, what are you thinking about?" Nanli walked to Gao Xingchen and asked softly.

"I wonder how long our current peace can last." Gao Xingchen turned to look at Nan Li, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes, "The news brought by Granny Zhao forced me to be more vigilant. That mysterious force will never let us go easily."

Nan Li held Gao Xingchen's hand and said softly, "I believe in you. You will definitely be able to protect Xingchen Pavilion and the peace of the star field."

Gao Xingchen nodded, his eyes rekindled with fighting spirit. He knew that the road ahead was still long and there were many challenges waiting for them. But he believed that as long as he and Nanli fought side by side, they would be able to overcome all difficulties and protect their common home.

However, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li didn't know that a bigger storm was quietly approaching...

The lights of Xingchen City shone on Gao Xingchen's face, but his eyes were deep and deep, which was not suitable for his age. Nanli's words were like a spring breeze blowing through his heart, but they could not completely dispel the faint haze in his heart. He knew that peace was good, but in this Nine Star Realm where the weak are the prey of the strong, if he wanted to protect this peace, he must have enough strength.

"Li'er, you're right. We should be prepared for danger in times of peace." Gao Xingchen took a deep breath and turned to look at the brightly lit Star City. "If Xingchen Pavilion wants to truly gain a foothold, it is far from enough to rely solely on our own strength. We also need friends and allies."

Nan Li was very smart and understood everything immediately. "You want to..."

"That's right," Gao Xingchen nodded, "There are still many small forces around Xingchen Pavilion. Although they are not strong, most of them are peace-loving people. We can take the initiative to contact them, establish friendly relations, share what we have, and develop together."

Nan Li agreed, "This is a good idea. We all know that the lips and teeth are cold. With the support of these small forces, the foundation of Xingchen Pavilion will be more stable."

"Leave this to me." Nan Li volunteered. "I have been in the martial arts world for many years and have some understanding of the situation of these small forces. I will select some suitable targets and visit them one by one."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Gao Xingchen looked at Nan Li, his eyes full of tenderness and trust, "But you must remember that safety is the most important thing. If you encounter any difficulties, be sure to inform me in time."

"Don't worry, I understand." Nan Li smiled brightly. She understood Gao Xingchen's concerns and also knew the responsibilities she shouldered.

In addition to diplomatic strategies, Gao Xingchen also discussed with Nan Li about the construction of an intelligence network. He knew that in this era where information is king, timely acquisition of intelligence is the key to survival and development. In this regard, Nan Li, who was once a top killer, is undoubtedly the best candidate.

"Li'er, your experience as a killer is a valuable asset to us." Gao Xingchen said seriously, "I hope you can use your experience to build an efficient intelligence network for Xingchen Pavilion, so that we can keep abreast of external trends and prevent dangers before they happen."

Nan Li nodded. She had a deep understanding of the importance of intelligence networks. "I will build a secret and efficient network to spread our spies to every corner of the Nine Star Realm." She paused, a cold light flashing in her eyes, "Those who try to harm the Star Pavilion will be exposed."

With the joint efforts of Gao Xingchen and Nan Li, the affairs of Xingchen Pavilion are proceeding in an orderly manner. While making friends and expanding their influence, they secretly accumulate strength and are vigilant against potential threats. Xingchen Pavilion, a giant ship that has just set sail, is breaking through the waves towards a promising future.

In the early morning of Xingchen City, the air was filled with the faint fragrance of plants and trees. After months of preparation, the opening ceremony of Xingchen Pavilion was finally held today.

In front of the attic, Gao Xingchen was wearing a black robe and a simple long sword on his waist, looking heroic. He looked at the crowd of people below the stage, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. Among these people, there were disciples of Xingchen Pavilion, heroes who came to congratulate, and ordinary people who came because of his reputation.

"Today, I announce that the Xingchen Pavilion is officially established!" Gao Xingchen's voice was loud and powerful, echoing throughout the square.

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous cheers and applause came like a tide and lasted for a long time.

Next, Nan Li came in dressed in white, like a fairy from the Moon Palace. Her cold voice echoed in the square: "Xingchen Pavilion takes it as its responsibility to maintain peace in the Nine Star Realm, make friends all over the world, and create a better future together!"

Nan Li's words were brief and powerful, but they clearly expressed the position and goals of Xingchen Pavilion, winning the recognition and admiration of everyone present.

The opening ceremony lasted a whole day, with various wonderful performances and competitions taking place one after another, pushing the atmosphere to one climax after another. It was not until night fell and the stars rose that the ceremony slowly came to an end.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li walked side by side in the garden under the moonlight. Neither of them spoke, but the tacit understanding between them was better than a thousand words.

"Xingchen, have you ever thought about which forces will pay attention to the rise of Xingchen Pavilion?" Nanli suddenly asked, breaking the moment of silence.

Gao Xingchen stopped and looked up at the starry sky. A complex emotion flashed in his deep eyes. "Of course I have thought about it. If a tree stands out in the forest, the wind will destroy it. If Xingchen Pavilion wants to gain a foothold in the Nine Star Realm, it will inevitably affect the interests of some people."

"Then what are you going to do?" Nan Li asked.

Gao Xingchen smiled and said confidently: "When an enemy comes, we will fight him with our troops; when a flood comes, we will block it with earth. I always believe that good will prevail over evil. As long as we stick to our original aspirations and continue to strengthen ourselves, we will be able to overcome all challenges."

Nan Li nodded gently, holding Gao Xingchen's hand, interlocking their fingers. She understood that the road ahead was still long and full of unknown challenges, but as long as they supported each other and fought side by side, no difficulties would be able to stop them from moving forward.

However, peaceful days are always short-lived.

On the third night after the opening ceremony of Xingchen Pavilion, a burst of urgent alarms broke the tranquility of Xingchen City...
