If Xiao Wujiu's alchemy skills were genuine, then this was absolutely tremendous news for the Inner Academy's elders. Even Great Elder Su Qian would agree to let him join!
Rather than scrutinizing a genius who wished to join the academy in good faith, it was better to consider the enormous benefits he could bring. The academy was not like the forces outside; it should naturally be more broad-minded. Thus, Hu Gan now wholeheartedly supported Xiao Wujiu's joining.
I've truly been too sensitive lately. How could I develop reservations toward a genius of such clean origins as Xiao Wujiu, and even prepare to turn him away, simply because someone from that clan wanted to join?
After silently reflecting on his improper behavior just now, Hu Gan looked at Xiao Wujiu with a rather solemn expression. "I was overly wary earlier. My apologies. There is no problem with you joining the academy, but you will still need to come with me to meet Great Elder Su Qian and obtain his approval. However, I can personally guarantee that I will fight for you to the fullest extent. Joining the academy should basically not be an issue."
Although Hu Gan very much wanted Xiao Wujiu to join, he could not make any absolute promises. After all, Su Qian, the Inner Academy's Great Elder, still needed to approve this matter. Still, there should not be any problem with a genius who might be a Tier 7 Alchemist joining.
"Vice Principal, you are too polite. You were only considering the academy's interests, so of course this junior understands. If you need a Zong-Breaking Pill refined later, this junior can refine one on your behalf."
Naturally, Xiao Wujiu did not press his advantage over Hu Gan's attitude. He spoke with great courtesy.
"Good, good, good! Excellent..."
