Therefore, the old men below were all very excited when they thought of this.

"My lord, your words are enough!"

They weren't greedy; they just wanted to protect the Spirit Hall.

"I will have a good talk with Emperor Xueye."

Qian Renshang's additional statement reassured everyone.

Next is the selection of the Pope of the Spirit Hall.

"As for the choice of Pope for the Spirit Hall..."

Qian Renshang looked around the main hall and finally spotted the figure he wanted to see in a corner of the crowd.

"Let's go with her," Qian Renshang said, pointing at Hu Liena.

Everyone looked in the direction Qian Renshang was pointing and saw Hu Liena standing in the corner.

She was surprised to be chosen; why was she selected?

But she didn't say anything and waited quietly for what would happen next.

Because the elders looked even more shocked than she did.

The scene in the main hall, which had just calmed down, was disrupted again.

The elders below exchanged bewildered glances, their faces filled with undisguised disbelief.

How could it be Hu Liena? The most talented one from the golden generation?

Yes, they also recognized the girl's talent.

Moreover, as the successor groomed by the former pope, she was highly favored.

But... isn't that a bit too young?

His qualifications are as shallow as a blank sheet of paper.

Although his soul power level is outstanding among his peers, it's simply not enough to stand out in the Spirit Hall's elder council!

Not to mention that the Spirit Hall is currently facing internal and external troubles, and everything is in need of rebuilding.

What their Spirit Hall needs now is someone who can keep things under control.

A seasoned and prudent person who can keep all sorts of troublemakers in check, and you're letting a young girl like her sit in that position? This... this is no joke!
The white-bearded elder couldn't help but speak again.

"My lord, Hu Liena is indeed exceptionally talented and is the most outstanding young talent in our Spirit Hall. Given time, she will surely achieve great things!"

But... but the situation is critical now, the papacy is a matter of life and death, is it too... too hasty to let her take on this role?

She's still young and inexperienced; I'm afraid she won't be able to win people's hearts!

His tone also carried an extremely obvious anxious attempt to dissuade him.

Another elder quickly chimed in.

"Yes, sir!"
The factions within the Spirit Hall are incredibly complex these days, not to mention dealing with external forces. Every single one of these requires immense prestige and skill!
Hu Liena... she's probably not up to the task of this position!
"If we handle this improperly, wouldn't we be betraying your trust, sir, and harming her as well?"

"Please reconsider, my lord!"

"Perhaps...perhaps we can choose one of the elders to temporarily take over and assist Hu Liena, until she grows up..."

A bunch of people below were chattering and making a lot of noise.

Even Gu Yuena, who had been standing to the side, couldn't help but frown when she heard the old men chattering.

But she wasn't going to say anything; she just subconsciously looked in Qian Renshang's direction.

She was still very curious about how Qian Renshang would handle this matter.

Hu Liena, the subject of the discussion, remained expressionless, as if she had anticipated such a scene.

No matter how well you do, there will always be people who oppose you. Just like her teacher taught her before, she should make herself stronger.

That way, those who say you're not doing well will shut up.

Suddenly, an extremely impatient remark interrupted the cacophony.

"Shut up for me!"

Qian Renshang found these old stubborn people really annoying.

This won't work, and that won't work either.

What exactly do you want?
