Xiao Lin's Sincerity

"Um, Senior Lin, I... I didn't mishear, did I? You're considering taking up an Elder position at our Jia Nan Academy?"

Suspecting he was hallucinating, Huo Dian couldn't help but ask again.

Xiao Lin's words were truly shocking.

As for whether Dou Zong is qualified to serve as an Elder of the Jia Nan Academy?

Don't ask, the answer is simply that you are more than qualified!

In fact, it should be said that even a Dou Zong is not qualified to hold the position of an Ordinary Elder!

It should be noted that even in a vast region like Central Plains, Dou Zong can serve as Elder in first-rate forces, let alone Jia Nan Academy.

"You heard me right. I want to use your Jia Nan Academy's Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower to cultivate, but with my current cultivation level, it's obviously inappropriate for me to become a student at your academy, isn't it?"

"In that case, I can only try applying for the position of Elder in the academy."

Xiao Lin did not lie about his purpose.

His main reason for wanting to enter Jia Nan Academy was the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.

Or perhaps it's one of those Fallen Heart Flame!

Since breaking through to the Dou Zong, Xiao Lin could clearly feel that his cultivation speed had slowed down considerably compared to before.

Although he is now able to set up Spirit-Gathering Formation to assist in cultivation.

However, if it can increase cultivation speed even more, why not?

For example, Spirit-Gathering Formation Fallen Heart Flame?

Thinking about this, Xiao Lin became a little excited.

Of course, Xiao Lin doesn't yet know whether the cultivation environment of the Spirit-Gathering Formation and the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower will conflict.

But we should at least give it a try, shouldn't we?

Only then did Huo Dian finally accept Xiao Lin's idea of serving as Elder at the Jia Nan Academy.

However, although Xiao Lin didn't seem to be lying, he was still somewhat uneasy.

After all, it just felt a bit strange that a Dou Zong wanted to serve as Elder at their Jia Nan Academy.

"Senior Lin, I already know your thoughts, but whether you can serve as an Elder of the academy is not something I can decide."

In the absence of the Dean, the final decision rests with the First Elder of the Inner Academy.

So..."

After a moment's hesitation, it became clear that some things were not quite appropriate to say now, given that Xiao Lin had already expressed goodwill towards them.

Xiao Lin simply smiled at this, showing no intention of making things difficult for Huo Dian.

"I understand your concerns. In that case, let these four students return to the Jia Nan Academy and express my wishes to your First Elder."

Then we'll go back a little later, and I'd also like to ask you some questions about the college.

What do you think?

After a moment's thought, Xiao Lin offered his suggestion to Huo Dian.

Huo Dian's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing Xiao Lin's suggestion.

That's great!

Not only could he ensure the safe return of the four students who were with him to the academy, but he could also stay behind to investigate the secrets of this unfamiliar Dou Zong.

If Jia Nan Academy were to clash with this unfamiliar Dou Zong in the future, wouldn't it be good to do my part for the academy?

This is practically killing two birds with one stone!

At the same time, after Xiao Lin made this suggestion, Huo Dian was already able to see his sincerity.

Think about it, if Senior Lin really harbored any ill will towards the Jia Nan Academy, why would he just let four students return to the Jia Nan Academy to inform them?

This makes absolutely no sense!

This shows that Senior Lin genuinely wanted to obtain an Elder position at the Jia Nan Academy.

If this conjecture is true, then the strength of the Jia Nan Academy will rise to another level!

At the same time, the addition of a Dou Zong to the Jia Nan Academy will further enhance Jia Nan Academy's deterrent effect on the Black-Corner Region!

This, in a way, provides a stronger guarantee for the students of the academy to gain experience in the future.

At this moment, a variety of thoughts flashed through Huo Dian's mind.

"Then let's follow Senior Lin's arrangements!"

In those few short seconds, he had already considered all sorts of possible Huo Dian. At this moment, he forcibly suppressed his somewhat excited feelings and nodded in agreement to Xiao Lin's suggestion.

Seeing the smile on Huo Dian's face, Xiao Lin couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

Fortunately, he genuinely harbored no ill will towards the Jia Nan Academy; otherwise, given Huo Dian's personality, all his thoughts would have been completely written on his face, and Huo Dian would have seen right through him!

Then, Huo Dian arranged for four students to return to the Jia Nan Academy first and told them to tell First Elder Su Qian of the Inner Academy everything that had happened there.

Because the four students personally experienced everything that happened today.

Xiao Lin's desire to become an Elder of the Jia Nan Academy was not hidden from them.

Therefore, the four students did not refuse Huo Dian's request.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of Xiao Lin and Huo Dian, the four students from the Jia Nan Academy headed ahead towards the location of the Jia Nan Academy.

Since this place wasn't far from the area where Peace Town was located, Huo Dian wasn't worried that the four of them would encounter any accidents on their journey.

Only after the four students' figures disappeared from sight did Xiao Lin and Huo Dian begin to stroll slowly toward the location of the Jia Nan Academy.

Along the way, Huo Dian tried every means to find out Xiao Lin's identity, while Xiao Lin began to inquire about some things inside the Jia Nan Academy.

After all, he might be serving as Elder at the Jia Nan Academy for some time to come, so there are some things he naturally needs to know in advance.

It was only then that Xiao Lin learned Huo Dian's real name.

At the same time, Xiao Lin also learned that Huo Dian was an Alchemist and an Elder of the Jia Nan Academy.

"His surname is Huo, he's an Elder, and an Alchemist? Could this Huo Dian be the same Elder Huo from the Original Work?"

Xiao Lin was somewhat surprised after learning Huo Dian's identity.

Did he run into a character from the Original Work?

Xiao Lin couldn't help but marvel at his good fortune.

The other half of Huo Dian only knew that Xiao Lin's alias was Lin Xiao, and that he had just arrived in the Black-Corner Region today.

In addition, Xiao Lin told Huo Dian that he was just a rogue cultivator who came from Central Plains.

Aside from that, Xiao Lin didn't reveal any other information.

Of course, what Xiao Lin actually revealed to Huo Dian was mostly false information.

Xiao Lin claimed to be from Central Plains to make it impossible for the Jia Nan Academy to verify his origins.

After all, the Black-Corner Region is known as a place where you can obtain any news from the Northwest Continent!

If Xiao Lin were to portray himself as a native of the Northwest Continent, his true identity would likely be exposed in a couple of days.

Therefore, saying that you come from Central Plains is absolutely the most appropriate thing to do!
