After hearing everything, Bai Wuya burst into laughter.
So many years have passed.
Over the years, he has devoted himself wholeheartedly to finding a successor.
But what was the result?
Not entirely satisfactory!
But now, the most suitable successor has fallen from the sky!
After laughing, Bai Wuya coughed twice, smoothed his gray hair back, looked at Zuo Xuan beside him, and slowly said in a soft voice, "After Lin Xuan returns, I plan to appoint Lin Xuan as the head of the Supreme Institute. What do you think?"
"Just the head of the academy? I thought you old man would just hand over the position of dean to him..." Elder Zuo chuckled, shaking his head in a teasing tone.
Upon hearing this, Bai Wuya was not in a hurry, nor did he show any disapproval; he simply smiled and shook his head.
"This position will be his sooner or later, but there's no rush. Now is not the time to push him into the limelight; that wouldn't be helping him, but harming him."
As he spoke, a thoughtful look appeared in Bai Wuya's eyes.
He sighed slightly.
"Easily defeating Ancient Emperor wielding Saint Weapon, Lin Xuan's strength has definitely reached the Half-Saint level..."
Half-Saint.
How incredible!
If he were to go out now and tell others that a Half-Saint has emerged from the new generation of their Primordial Holy Heaven, wouldn't they laugh at him, saying he's gone crazy wanting a successor?
After hearing Bai Wuya's reasons, Elder Zuo nodded helplessly.
"Okay, okay."
"Anyway, you have your reasons. I'm just an old man who doesn't know anything. When the time comes, I'll do whatever you ask me to do."
He finished speaking with a smile, and thinking about how, although he had only spent some time with the young man, he could already see how promising his future was, a hint of anticipation, as if he were watching a good show, appeared in his eyes.
"I wonder how interesting their expressions will be when those lurking cats and dogs attack my Primordial Holy Heaven in the future, when they discover that my Primordial Holy Heaven has such a hidden trump card!"
"I'm already getting excited, hahaha..."
The two exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.
They were once worried and anxious about the future of the Primordial Holy Heaven.
But now, they no longer need to worry about the future day after day; they are filled with anticipation.
Don't think they don't know that most people outside are hoping for the decline or even destruction of the Primordial Holy Heaven.
There are countless unscrupulous individuals lurking in the shadows, waiting for their chance to strike.
They were all waiting for Bai Wuya's demise.
After the only Saint Realm expert in the Primordial Holy Heaven falls, all those petty thieves and scoundrels will probably come out and besiege the Primordial Holy Heaven.
But if that day ever comes, those people will likely be disappointed.
Lin Xuan will become an unexpected dark horse, leading the Primordial Holy Heaven Primordial Holy Heaven to break through the encirclement and give it a new life!
Thinking about the future, Bai Wuya couldn't stop smiling.
"However, the appointment of Lin Xuan as the head of the Supreme Institute will likely face considerable opposition..."
Elder Zuo's words slightly pulled Bai Wuya back to his senses.
His gaze darkened slightly as he thought of the other holy masters who had long coveted the position of Dean of the Supreme Institute, as well as the other deans, vice deans, and others.
What Elder Zuo said is indeed quite right.
As of now, only the two of them know about Lin Xuan's strength.
Lin Xuan's apparent strength is only at the Heavenly Venerable Realm.
"His cultivation level is questionable, and it's hard to convince everyone. The three inner court masters of our Holy Heaven have always only reached the level of Half-Saint," Elder Zuo said, frowning.
Lin Xuan's strength has reached the level of Half-Saint.
But I'll say it again.
Nobody knows, and probably nobody believes it!
Faced with this question, Bai Wuya didn't think about it for long, only letting out a cold laugh.
"Be opposed to?"
"What's the use of their opposition! I am still the Dean of the Primordial Holy Heaven!"
"This is not a matter for discussion, but an order! Who dares to object? Who can object!"
The aura of the Saint Realm was released in an instant, and the surging pressure directly sent the birds flying outside the window flying away. Bai Wuya's robes fluttered without wind, and his tone was calm and unquestionable.
"As long as I live, no one can surpass me!"
Starfall City.
Lin Xuan was unaware that a surprise awaited him within the academy.
After finishing up the auction, he returned to the inn where he was temporarily staying.
Not long after, Ji Mingzhu arrived late the next day.
"Senior Lin... Senior Lin!"
Upon seeing Lin Xuan, Ji Mingzhu's face showed a hint of excitement. He almost couldn't wait to hand over his spoils to Lin Xuan, while recounting the series of events that had transpired since his return to the Ji Household.
"You have no idea, after I returned to the Ji Household, the Ling Household patriarch, who used to think he was above everyone else, actually apologized to my Ji Household in public and even offered gifts as compensation. It was so satisfying!"
"Especially Ling Qiu, he caused me a lot of trouble before, and even dared to offend you at the auction. As a result, he was crippled by his own ancestor with a single palm strike! Haha! Even Fang Ya was sent back by the Fang Household, wanting to reconcile with me, but I refused them all. They don't even look at themselves, looking down on you and insulting you, and they still want me to speak well of them? Dream on!"
After babbling on and on, Ji Mingzhu suddenly stopped when he saw Lin Xuan looking at him with a smile.
He scratched his head, a hint of embarrassment appearing on his chubby face.
"Um... did I talk too much, Senior Lin?"
"It's nothing." Lin Xuan shook his head slightly, took the Storage Bag from the chubby boy, probed it with his Divine Sense, saw the apology gift sent by the Ling Household, and remained noncommittal.
He asked, "How is the ancestor of your Ji Household?"
Speaking of his ancestor, Ji Mingzhu's face showed genuine gratitude, and he nodded repeatedly.
"Our ancestor has taken the Thearch Infant Pill and is much better now. Although his injuries haven't fully healed, I believe it won't be long before he's fully recovered!"
"Thank you so much Senior Lin, for bestowing this pill!"
Lin Xuan shook his head.
"The money for the pills was yours; it has nothing to do with me."
For him, these things were just a matter of lifting a finger.
Now that Ji Mingzhu knows his own strength, a barrier has finally formed between them.
Their relationship could never go back to what it was before; he still preferred the chubby boy from before.
However, Lin Xuan knew that this wasn't Ji Mingzhu's fault; it had always been this way in this world.
Ji Mingzhu looked at Lin Xuan, wanting to say something, but before he could finish speaking, Lin Xuan interrupted him.
"It's almost time for today, I should leave."
Ji Mingzhu: "Huh?"
He instinctively let out a sound of surprise, then realized what he had done, and a hint of reluctance appeared on his chubby face.
"So, they're leaving already?"
