Lin the Supreme Elder!
The news of Xiao Lin's return to the Jia Nan Academy spread throughout the academy in no time.
As a result, during this period, many more people came to attempt the Trial Grounds he had established.
Of course, now that Xiao Lin has returned to the Jia Nan Academy, he will definitely further improve the Trial Grounds.
And so, Xiao Lin added dozens more Formations to the Trial Grounds.
The current Trial Grounds probably have around thirty Formations of varying sizes, ranging from level one to level two.
Similarly, Xiao Lin also entered the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower and checked the Spirit-Gathering Formation set up inside.
Only after finding that there were no problems did Xiao Lin feel relieved.
It's not that Xiao Lin is worrying unnecessarily, but as a member of the Jia Nan Academy, shouldn't he shoulder some of his responsibilities?
Especially after becoming the patriarch of the Xiao Household, Xiao Lin truly understood the meaning of "responsibility"!
About half a month after Xiao Lin returned to the Jia Nan Academy, Dean Mang Tianchi announced to the entire academy that Lin Xiao had been officially promoted to the Grand Elder of the academy, with a status equivalent to Qian Mu and Bai Lie.
Thus, Jia Nan Academy welcomed its third Grand Elder!
From now on, when the teachers, students, and other Elders of the Jia Nan Academy see Xiao Lin, they must address him as Supreme Elder Lin!
Xiao Lin did not refuse the offer to be promoted to the position of Grand Elder of the Jia Nan Academy.
After all, given his earlier contributions to the Jia Nan Academy and his current strength, the position of Ordinary Elder is indeed no longer worthy of his status.
Moreover, to be honest, First Elder Su Qian had already had this idea before Dean Mang Tianchi returned.
However, the position of Grand Elder is of great importance, and only Mang Tianchi, as the Dean, is qualified to appoint him.
That's why it's been delayed until now.
During these two weeks of getting to know each other, Mang Tianchi had gained some understanding of Xiao Lin.
Naturally, he took the opportunity to promote Xiao Lin to the position of Grand Elder of the academy.
It can be said that from now on, Xiao Lin's status in the Jia Nan Academy is second only to Dean Mang Tianchi.
This is what Xiao Lin deserves.
Oh, by the way, Zi Yan, that Demon King, had already awakened several years ago.
As her strength advanced to the level of Dou Ling, her appearance also grew to that of an eleven or twelve-year-old.
The baby fat on her face has disappeared.
While she was overjoyed to learn that Xiao Lin had returned to the Jia Nan Academy, she outwardly remained angry for a long time!
What angered her was naturally Xiao Lin's abrupt departure from the Jia Nan Academy while she was asleep.
Xiao Lin had to coax this little devil for a long time before he finally managed to appease him.
Then, the two of them wreaked havoc on the Elders in the academy—
This time, even the First Elder Su Qian, Qian Mu, and Bai Lie could not escape the clutches of these two.
However, this time, Zi Yan seemed to have a vague idea of what was going on, so after stealing all sorts of precious medicinal herbs from the academy's Elders, she didn't immediately devour them, but instead stored them away.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin was also helpless.
Indeed, although he has returned to the Jia Nan Academy this time, he obviously won't stay for long.
Zi Yan, that little girl, must have noticed this as well.
Therefore, she didn't want to take these precious medicinal herbs immediately, which led to Xiao Lin leaving without saying goodbye while she was asleep.
Although Zi Yan wouldn't stop Xiao Lin from leaving Jia Nan Academy, given her current strength, she wouldn't force Xiao Lin to take her to Central Plains.
However, she thought that at least after sending Xiao Lin away from the Jia Nan Academy this time, she would fall into a deep sleep.
It's clear that even after several years apart, Zi Yan's feelings for Xiao Lin remain deep and unchanged.
As for Xiao Lin, he didn't plan to stay here for more than six months this time.
After all, the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower is no longer of any use to his cultivation.
Or rather, there's nothing in the entire Northwest Continent that could rapidly increase his strength.
Only when he arrives in Central Plains will he find his true stage!
First Elder Su Qian and the others could also see this.
After staying at the Jia Nan Academy for three or four months, Xiao Lin began to consider leaving.
However, before he left, there was one thing he had always wanted to do.
On this day, Xiao Lin pushed open the door to the dean's office.
"Oh? Our Supreme Elder Lin, what brings you here to see me today?"
Seeing Xiao Lin walk in, Mang Tianchi chuckled and teased.
As he spoke, Mang Tianchi casually picked up a piece of sweets next to him and stuffed it into his mouth.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Mang Tianchi has been spending all his time in the Dean's office since returning to the Jia Nan Academy.
In reality, he was just slacking off in the dean's office!
They're either eating, or on their way to eat!
This made Xiao Lin think of someone.
That's One Piece Garp from One Piece, the one who's always slacking off.
After spending time together, Xiao Lin discovered that Mang Tianchi and Garp from One Piece were practically the same type!
So, the reason he came to see Mang Tianchi today was actually to stretch his muscles and bones.
Of course, before that, after entering the dean's office, he casually snatched a piece of sweets from Mang Tianchi's hand and then, imitating the other's actions, stuffed it into his mouth.
"Dean, you really know how to enjoy life! Su Qian is swamped with work!"
Ignoring Mang Tianchi's snarling and baring at him, Xiao Lin sat down in front of him with practiced ease.
When interacting with someone like Mang Tianchi, being casual with him can actually win his favor.
If you always act too serious, they might just kick you out.
It can only be said that most people with a carefree personality are like this.
"What are you saying? I'm giving him a chance to showcase his strengths!"
Mang Tianchi's statement is that he's unreasonable but boastful!
Immediately before Xiao Lin could reach for the sweets next to Mang Tianchi again, he quickly hid them.
"Mean--"
Xiao Lin muttered something.
"Tch, buy your own food! By the way, what did you want to see me about today?"
After rebuking Xiao Lin, Mang Tianchi spoke again and asked.
Upon hearing Mang Tianchi ask the question again, Xiao Lin's expression turned serious.
Similarly, seeing Xiao Lin's suddenly serious expression, Mang Tianchi's expression also became slightly more solemn.
"It's nothing really, I just wanted to ask you, Dean, for some guidance."
Xiao Lin said very modestly.
As Xiao Lin finished speaking, a smile appeared on Mang Tianchi's lips.
"What? You finally couldn't hold back anymore? I thought you were going to keep dragging it out."
Mang Tianchi was looking at Xiao Lin with a half-smile.
It's not hard to tell from his words that he had probably already guessed that Xiao Lin would do this one day.
