Raiding the Black-Corner Region
"On this point, what you said, Old Lin, is indeed very reasonable. However, our Jia Nan Academy has always maintained a detached and aloof attitude within the Black-Corner Region."
This rash intervention, with the intention of weakening them, could easily provoke an unnecessary backlash if the various forces within the Black-Corner Region find out!
At that time, not only our students will be threatened by the Black-Corner Region.
I think even our Jia Nan Academy will probably be unable to maintain its foothold in the Black-Corner Region.
Although Xiao Lin's idea was indeed very tempting, as the current leader of the Jia Nan Academy, First Elder Su Qian had to be extremely cautious before making any decision.
Especially since this matter would affect the interests of the entire Jia Nan Academy in the Black-Corner Region, he dared not make a decision rashly.
After all, the dean entrusted the academy to him before he left.
If he really makes Jia Nan Academy an enemy of the whole world, he won't have the face to see the Dean!
However, Xiao Lin had actually anticipated First Elder Su Qian's indecisiveness.
Since he proposed the idea of weakening the overall strength of the Black-Corner Region, it was naturally not without reason.
He not only had the idea, but he also had the solution.
Furthermore, Xiao Lin can guarantee that this method of weakening the overall strength of the Black-Corner Region will not be noticed by any of the various forces within the Black-Corner Region!
"First Elder, since you have this idea but are worried about provoking a backlash from various forces in the Black-Corner Region, why don't you listen to my suggestion first?"
I can guarantee that my actions will absolutely prevent any faction within the Black-Corner Region from associating me with the Jia Nan Academy!
Xiao Lin smiled slightly, his face radiating confidence.
"Oh? Then tell me about it."
Indeed, just as Xiao Lin said, First Elder Su Qian essentially agreed with his idea, but still had some concerns.
If Xiao Lin's method works and won't affect Jia Nan Academy, then he has no reason to refuse.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Lin explained his thoughts to First Elder Su Qian.
As Xiao Lin recounted his story, First Elder Su Qian's expression grew increasingly agitated.
In the end, even his breathing became erratic.
It was clear that Xiao Lin's words had excited him.
However, as Xiao Lin finished speaking, First Elder Su Qian, who had recovered from his excitement, suddenly looked at him with a strange expression.
His expression was as if he were looking at a big bad guy.
And you know what? If Xiao Lin's plan were actually carried out, wouldn't Xiao Lin be seen as an utterly wicked villain in the eyes of the forces in the Black-Corner Region?
Of course, the premise is that they need to know that Xiao Lin was behind all of this!
"Old Lin, I've suddenly realized that letting you Jia Nan Academy was an absolutely correct choice. It has nothing to do with your ability to set up Spirit-Gathering Formation for the academy, but because you are not the academy's enemy!"
After staring at Xiao Lin for a long time, making Xiao Lin wonder if there was something on his face, First Elder Su Qian suddenly spoke up in a serious tone.
"Haha, thank you very much for your praise, First Elder!"
Xiao Lin took First Elder Su Qian's pointed remark as a compliment without batting an eye, and accepted it calmly without blushing or panting.
His shameless behavior earned him an eye roll from First Elder Su Qian.
"Alright, Old Lin, I agree to your plan. However, you and Zi Yan still need to be very careful when you're carrying it out!"
Those guys in the Black-Corner Region are all very shrewd. If things don't go well, just come back.
Of course, in my heart, I still hope your plan will succeed.
This was First Elder Su Qian's final instruction after listening to Xiao Lin's complete plan.
The plan that Xiao Lin described is indeed highly feasible.
However, since it's a plan, there are always some uncontrollable factors involved.
In the unlikely event of an accident, First Elder Su Qian hoped that Xiao Lin and Zi Yan would evacuate immediately.
After all, for First Elder Su Qian, who has been living like this for so many years, it would naturally be a good thing to weaken the overall strength of the Black-Corner Region and bring it under the control of the Jia Nan Academy.
However, if it can't be done, Jia Nan Academy won't suffer any loss, right?
In that case, First Elder Su Qian believes that the plan proposed by Xiao Lin is indeed very necessary to try.
Thinking of the consequences of Xiao Lin's plan succeeding, First Elder Su Qian silently lit a candle in his heart for all the forces in the Black-Corner Region as a sign of mourning.
"How did Old Lin come up with such a wicked idea?"
This was First Elder Su Qian's truest thought at that moment!
However, because Xiao Lin was still present, he didn't say it directly.
But his little expression said it all.
"So, the First Elder agrees to my plan?"
Xiao Lin could already tell what was going on from First Elder Su Qian's tone and expression; he just wanted a definite answer.
"Since you've gone this far, do I still have a reason to refuse?"
First Elder Su Qian's rhetorical question was the best answer.
"Alright, then I'll make preparations and take Zi Yan to the Black-Corner Region right away. After all, the core of my plan still revolves around Zi Yan's innate abilities!"
After First Elder Su Qian gave a clear answer, Xiao Lin said with a mischievous grin.
"Then you should go and return as soon as possible. I will prepare a copy of the information on the various forces in the Black-Corner Region for you. As for Zi Yan's safety during your trip, Old Lin, I'm entrusting it to you!"
The First Elder Su Qian, looked at Xiao Lin with utmost solemnity and gave him his instructions.
"Don't worry, First Elder, if Zi Yan is missing even a single hair, you can come to me!"
Xiao Lin patted his chest, making his promise.
At this point, First Elder Su Qian had been successfully persuaded by Xiao Lin.
Afterwards, Xiao Lin did not linger at First Elder Su Qian's place and left immediately.
Outside, Zi Yan had been waiting impatiently for some time.
"So, Old Man Lin, what did Old Man Su say?"
Upon seeing Xiao Lin, Zi Yan couldn't help but ask excitedly.
"Of course! With me involved, how could I possibly fail to persuade the First Elder?"
Xiao Lin gave Zi Yan an "OK" sign as he answered.
"Yay, now I can really show off my skills!"
Zi Yan's excitement at this moment was no less than Xiao Lin's, and perhaps even greater!
After making some preparations, Xiao Lin and Zi Yan left Jia Nan Academy, departed from Peace Town, and entered the territory of the Black-Corner Region.
Next, it will be their time to train.
As for the various forces within the Black-Corner Region, two Demon Kings are about to come and plunder!
