"Hall Master, Huang Xiao~~~he might still be alive! Wouldn't it be somewhat inappropriate for us~~to appoint another candidate now?" Yin Huju said through gritted teeth.
At this point, he could no longer worry about offending Yao Renwu. If the Hall Master truly appointed Zuo Jiayi now, then even if Huang Xiao returned alive later, he would probably find it difficult to regain his position as Hall Master Candidate.
For the Hall Master, a single word naturally carried the weight of nine cauldrons. He could hardly go back on his word.
Perhaps the Hall Master would overturn his own decision for the sake of the Hall Master's Seat, but that still introduced uncertainty.
Besides, he also knew Zuo Jiayi. As Yao Renwu had said, his strength was indeed considerable. He had broken through to the Void Martial Realm several years ago. His aptitude was somewhat inferior to Huang Xiao's and the others', but compared with the other disciples, he was far more outstanding.
In terms of strength, he was certainly no weaker than Huang Xiao, was he? After all, he had broken through to the Void Martial Realm quite a few years before Huang Xiao.
He had not been chosen back then mainly because of his age and aptitude. Chao Jue and Huang Xiao were progressing faster, and given another few years, they would naturally have no trouble surpassing Zuo Jiayi.
At present, Zuo Jiayi still held some advantages over Huang Xiao. Coupled with the difficulty the Hall Master would face in going back on his word and Yao Renwu's support behind the scenes, Huang Xiao would have little chance of reclaiming the candidate's position even if he returned alive.
That was because the words of him and Yin Huju carried very little weight.
