This is the place of highest authority within each academy. On ordinary days, the House Masters conduct their business here, receiving all manner of information and intelligence transmitted from the "Two Realms" under their jurisdiction.
Inside the House Master Pavilion, a constant stream of people moved about, reflecting the immense volume of administrative work. Li Luo’s arrival attracted considerable attention; after all, within Qingming House, he was now regarded as a rather unique figure. Setting aside his special status, the astonishing feats he had accomplished in just these short two months were enough to make people realize that this son of the Senior House Master was no pushover. Paying no mind to these gazes, Li Luo walked straight toward the main hall of the Pavilion. Upon arriving, he saw five high-backed chairs standing majestically within the solemn interior. In the center was an empty high seat; to the left sat Zhong Yushi, and to the right was Li Rouyun. The remaining two House Masters were unfamiliar to him, as Li Luo rarely saw them.
