"Scorpion Emperor, you flatter me. I was merely lucky." Jun Yiye smiled, his attitude quite humble.
Scorpion Emperor nodded slightly. Of the two Holy Sons, Soul Demon Yu was arrogant by nature, decisive and ruthless in his methods. He was capable and had the support of many cult members, but Scorpion Emperor did not favor him.
Holy Son Jun Yiye, on the other hand, was better at dealing with people and showed sufficient respect toward his elders. He was intelligent and exceptionally wise, and most importantly, he did not possess Soul Demon Yu's overwhelming desire for control.
Therefore, when it came to choosing a candidate for the position of cult leader, he had always leaned more toward Jun Yiye.
Now, Jun Yiye had rendered such great merit, yet he remained neither impatient nor rash. He still showed Scorpion Emperor sufficient respect and did not become arrogant because of his accomplishments, which made Scorpion Emperor even more satisfied.
"Holy Son, you are too modest. This was not mere luck, but true strength. Having rendered such great merit this time, the cult leader will certainly value you even more. It may not be impossible for you to sit in the cult leader's position someday!" Scorpion Emperor said with a faint smile.
Jun Yiye hurriedly waved his hands. "I would not dare entertain such wild ambitions. Being able to share the burdens of the Holy Church and my teacher would already satisfy me completely. How could I dare covet the position of cult leader?"
Hearing Jun Yiye's words, Scorpion Emperor smiled faintly, growing even more satisfied inwardly.
Those capable of concealing their thoughts and revealing no emotion on the surface had a greater chance of succeeding. After this exchange, he valued Jun Yiye more and more.
