Chapter 196 Competition for quotas
Xuanwu Holy Land, Council Hall.
Zhao Gang sat in the main seat, his brow furrowed. The many elders below all looked dissatisfied, and the atmosphere was so heavy that it seemed frozen.
"Why can an outsider like him use the Xuanwu Pool in our holy land!" an elder said angrily.
"That's it!"
"You're so good, Long Zhantian, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes. Are you planning to sell our holy land to Qingluan Holy Land next?"
Another elder expressed his dissatisfaction in fierce words.
"Although the Holy Lord is on good terms with Li Jun of the Qingluan Holy Land, he cannot lend the Xuanwu Pool to them, right?"
"That's right, are you worthy of everyone's trust in you?"
"Do you want to be our Holy Lord?"
The originally solemn atmosphere in the hall was instantly ignited, and everyone started to boo indignantly, the noise rising higher and higher. Until...
"Long Zhantian, now, immediately, give me the position of Holy Lord, otherwise don't blame me for being merciless!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Everyone turned to look at the elder who said this, their faces filled with shock.
"Which peak is this elder from? How can he be so brave?"
"I do not know."
"I know, I know. He is the elder of the Four Peaks. His name is Liu Zheng."
"Liu Zheng... Is that the Liu Zheng who was drugged by a male disciple and nearly lost her virginity?"
"seems like it……"
"What a talent! We were just talking about it, but he's already taking the throne of Saint Lord."
The elders were discussing in low voices, and at the same time, they all retreated with Liu Zheng as the center, as if Liu Zheng was carrying something that people could not avoid. Soon, a large area around him was cleared.
Liu Zheng: “…”
"Elders, you've argued and argued enough. Now, please listen carefully to my explanation."
Long Zhantian spoke slowly. Although his voice was not loud, it revealed an unquestionable majesty.
Upon hearing this, the elders who had been discussing the matter immediately sat up straight and looked at Long Zhantian seriously.
Long Zhantian looked around and saw that everyone had quieted down. Then he slowly spoke again, "Which of the four sacred grounds do you think is the most powerful?"
His voice echoed in the council hall, carrying a thought-provoking meaning.
The elders looked at each other. Although they didn't understand why Long Zhantian asked this question at this time, they all had a common answer in their hearts.
"Holy Lord, although the Qingluan Holy Land is the strongest, our Holy Land is not weak either. Xuanwuchi doesn't even have enough disciples of its own, so why should we use them to curry favor with the Qingluan Holy Land?"
An elder frowned, his tone revealing reluctance and doubt.
“This isn’t about currying favor, it’s about investment.”
"Think about it, everyone. Why is Qingluan Holy Land the strongest? It's because Xu Hanyi is in charge. And Lin Chuan is not only Xu Hanyi's disciple, but his talent is even higher than Xu Hanyi's."
"The Xuanwu Pool can only accommodate one disciple for one day of training every ten years, so it cannot accommodate the majority of disciples."
"But if we give this opportunity to Lin Chuan, not only can we become good friends with Master Xu Hanyi and his apprentice, but we can also benefit from the resources they exchanged for us and benefit every disciple."
Long Zhantian explained his considerations to the elders in earnest words.
"Although doing so can indeed maximize benefits, will the disciples have any objections? After all, this opportunity only comes once every ten years, and they have been preparing for it for a long time." An elder said with some concern.
"That's not that difficult. They're going to hold a competition to compete for spots anyway, so why not just send Lin Chuan to compete then?"
Long Zhantian waved his hand nonchalantly and gave his own solution in a relaxed tone.
"But what if Lin Chuan loses?"
"..."
"What should I do?"
Xu Hanyi's closed disciple, the first place winner of the Holy Land Competition, if he can't even win this competition, then there is no point in investing in him.
……
Inside the house.
"So I have to participate in the quota competition tomorrow?" Lin Chuan tilted his head and asked with a puzzled look.
"Yes, it is."
The female disciple at the side responded with a smile, and cast a coquettish glance at Lin Chuan as she spoke. She looked cute and had a bit of playful thoughts, as if she wanted to get closer to Lin Chuan.
"Brother Lin Chuan, please be kind to Junior Sister..."
Before she could finish her words, a powerful pressure suddenly descended upon her, instantly turning her face pale. The rest of her words were abruptly blocked in her throat. She could only stare wide-eyed in horror, her body trembling slightly.
At the door, Xu Hanyi stood quietly, her clothes fluttering gently in the wind. Her face was as cold as ice, and her eyes were deep and cold, as if hiding endless chill. She was quietly staring at the female disciple in the room.
She was originally full of doubts, thinking that they could just send someone to inform her about the competition, why would they call her out to tell her? Oh my god, they were waiting for her here.
"Master." Lin Chuan called softly, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.
"Go back and tell Long Zhantian that if you try to take advantage of Chuan'er again, I don't mind having a few sword fights with him."
Xu Hanyi's voice was as cold as snow, and his words contained an unquestionable warning.
"Yes!"
The female disciple responded hurriedly, her body shivering unconsciously, her face full of panic. Not daring to delay for even a moment, she immediately agreed and turned and left in a hurry.
"Chuan'er really makes me worry. I was away for less than half an hour, and my junior sister came to visit me."
Xu Hanyi gently closed the door, walked to Lin Chuan with slightly anxious steps, and hugged him in his arms.
"That female disciple just came to inform me to participate in the quota competition tomorrow. Master, please don't think too much about it."
Lin Chuan buried his face in Xu Hanyi's arms and explained softly.
"You may not have meant it, but she might not. As a teacher, I will never allow anyone to take you away from me!"
There was an unquestionable determination in Xu Hanyi's tone, and his originally cold face now looked a bit more fierce because of this paranoia.
As she spoke, she subconsciously tightened her arms around Lin Chuan, and the strength in her arms continued to increase, as if she wanted to hold Lin Chuan firmly in her arms. It seemed that only in this way could she feel completely at ease and prevent those potential "threats" from getting close to Lin Chuan at all.
"..."
"Master, don't worry. There's no way I could be snatched away. Even if I were, I would definitely run back immediately. After all, Master is so charming."
As Lin Chuan spoke, he gently rubbed against Xu Hanyi's arms, trying to dispel Xu Hanyi's concerns with such an intimate gesture.
"Chuan'er..."
Xu Hanyi looked straight at Lin Chuan, who was a little restless in his arms, and the strong emotions in his eyes seemed to be about to burst out.
"Master, do you still need a massage today?"
"I'll listen to Chuan'er."
