“What’s so great about a mere alchemist that deserves your trouble?
Finding a way to kill Lin Xiaodong is the most important thing right now!"
Chen Xu did not dare to disobey his father's will, so he quickly nodded in agreement, and then retreated with a look of fear on his face.
Although they have a father-son relationship, he is very afraid of his father. This fear has arisen since he was a child and has become more and more profound as he grows up.
The source of fear is his father's cruel treatment of enemies, and the punishment of those who disobey his orders. Even blood relatives will never end well.
What he has to do now is to complete the task as quickly as possible.
...several days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, an important guest came to Chenguang Academy, none other than Master Shi'an.
Master Shi'an had already given up his plan to recruit disciples after being rejected by Lin Xiaodong that day, but the more he thought about it along the way, the more he felt it was a pity.
But he had been rejected face to face, so how could he have the nerve to go back and find Lin Xiaodong again?
After all, Master Shi'an still has some reputation in this world. How could he possibly ask others to become his disciples?
This is so embarrassing! However, when he returned to the temple, he became more and more disappointed when he saw his dissatisfied disciples.
When I think about what I have learned all my life but no one will succeed me, I can't help but feel sad in my heart.
After enduring for a few days, Master Shi An felt that it was more important to find an outstanding apprentice to pass on his skills, so he put aside his dignity and came to Chenguang Academy again.
The moment he entered Chenguang College, word spread throughout the college.
First of all, because his reputation is already very loud, and because he is a mage, he is very recognizable and many people know him.
Secondly, because Lin Xiaodong fought with the young master of the Chen family a few days ago and was rescued by him at a critical moment. Then he opened his mouth to accept a disciple but was ruthlessly rejected. This caused a huge sensation in Chenguang Academy.
So he was noticed as soon as he entered the college, and the dean quickly got the news and hurriedly came out with the deputy dean to greet him.
"I've met Master Shi'an!"
Master Shi'an nodded and said with a smile: "You two are welcome, this is not the place to talk. Can you find a quiet place?"
A large group of students were watching around him, and he really didn't want to talk about it here.
The dean understood his concerns and made a gesture of invitation: "Master, please come with me."
With that said, he took Master Shi'an to his office.
After the three of them sat down, the dean arranged for refreshments. After chatting for a while, Master Shi An spoke.
"Excuse me, dean, how is Lin Xiaodong doing in school?"
The dean's heart moved, and he knew that the real drama was about to begin. His purpose towards Master Shi'an was the same as that of Ming Jing.
But he didn't want to hand over Lin Xiaodong, but he couldn't help but answer Master Shi'an's questions, so he could only tell the truth.
"This Lin Xiaodong's performance is naturally very good. He practices very hard, is very powerful, and has awakened two kinds of star powers. He can be considered a genius."
Master Shi An nodded and asked again.
"Excuse me, Dean, what is Lin Xiaodong's character like?"
The dean felt secretly bitter in his heart, but regarding matters such as character, he had no choice but to tell the truth, so he could only tell the truth.
"Master Shi'an, you understand the situation of our college. We must have carefully investigated a genius like Lin Xiaodong, and his character must be indisputable.
Just because he didn't hesitate to fight against the Qian family and the Chen family to save my daughter, how can he be a bad person?"
Master Shi'an nodded, feeling completely reassured. He stared at the dean and told him the purpose of coming here today.
"You must have guessed the purpose of my coming here. I want Lin Xiaodong to be my apprentice so that I can pass on what I have learned. I hope you can give this student to me."
The dean was very troubled in his heart.
Emotionally speaking, Lin Xiaodong saved his daughter and was his daughter's benefactor, and indirectly his benefactor.
If Lin Xiaodong hadn't been there that day, who knows what the Chen family would have done to his daughter who had a strong personality and would rather break than bend.
From the perspective of the future of the college, Lin Xiaodong is the hope of revitalizing the college and building its prestige. Such a genius can only be encountered but cannot be sought, so how can he be willing to give up?
"Master, I'm sorry. Lin Xiaodong is too important to our college. Please forgive me for not being able to obey."
Master Shi'an didn't seem surprised at all and nodded.
"Of course I understand how important Lin Xiaodong is to you, but I also have several reasons for letting him leave here.
First, the Chen family has been so humiliated. They will not retaliate against me, but they will never let Lin Xiaodong go. Even in your college, it is difficult to guarantee his safety. Do you agree with this?"
The dean looked slumped. He knew that there was nothing wrong with what Master Shi An said.
With the Chen family's style of retribution for many years, it is impossible for this matter to end here.
In addition, Lin Xiaodong is a genius from Chenguang College, so they will not let him go.
As for Master Shi'an, he has a transcendent status and is followed by the entire group of alchemists. The Chen family really does not dare to offend him.
So the dean could only nod helplessly.
Master Shi'an continued.
"Second, if Lin Xiaodong follows me, his future will be bright. You can't stop your students from moving towards a bright future, right?"
The dean said solemnly: "Of course I hope that every child can have a bright future, but as far as I know Lin Xiaodong himself is not willing."
"Whether he is willing or not is one thing, first you have to be willing.
And the third thing is that as long as you are willing to hand over Lin Xiaodong to me, then I owe you a favor, and if you ask for anything in the future, I will definitely not refuse!"
Master Shi'an's favor is a great condition. If there is an emergency and you need some precious elixir, you don't have to run around asking for help.
It can save lives in emergencies.
Master Shi'an had already moved when he saw Yuan Xudong, and then said: "Your Chenguang College has been kind to Lin Xiaodong in teaching and receiving karma, and he will definitely not forget you. When he succeeds in his studies, wouldn't it be a great help to your college?"
"
As soon as he said this, the dean's eyes lit up, and then he turned to look at the deputy dean beside him.
The vice president's eyes also flashed, and he nodded gently.
"Shout! We agree to this!"
Anyway, it’s hard to refute Master Shi’an’s reputation, and you can get so many benefits, why not?
Hearing the dean's answer, Master Shi'an was very happy and laughed.
"Thank you, thank you two for giving me such a good apprentice, haha!"
He smiled proudly, but the dean felt something else in his heart, a deep sense of helplessness welled up in his heart.
