Chapter 1072 The High Priest's Decision
Deng Kuang and Nine-Star Priest Shui Jingyuan guessed something when they saw Lin Shen and Shi Zhongqing together.

After greeting each other, Deng Kuang asked Lin Shen with a smile: "Did the high priest tell your fortune? What was the result?"

"Forget it, I don't know what the outcome will be." Lin Shen said.

Upon hearing this, Deng Kuang looked at Shi Zhongqing and asked, "Great Priest, what did my brother ask, and what was the result?"

Shi Zhongqing smiled slightly and said, "You, my little brother, have a destiny with my Zhongtian Star Palace. You should stay and work in Zhongtian Star Palace in the future."

Deng Kuang was slightly startled when he heard this, and looked back and forth at Lin Shen and Shi Zhongqing with some surprise.

The Deng family has some interactions with the high priest Shi Zhongqing, but the friendship is not deep and can only be considered some business intersections at most.

Deng Kuang is now somewhat suspicious as to whether Lin Shen has any relationship with Shi Zhongqing, and whether the method he mentioned is to find the connection with Shi Zhongqing.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? Although Shi Zhongqing has a hobby of fortune-telling, his level is really average. Privately, Shi Zhongqing has a nickname that nine out of ten fortune-tellings are wrong.

Normally, Shi Zhongqing would occasionally come here to tell fortunes for people during open days. But now it is not an open day, so why would Shi Zhongqing come here to tell fortunes for Lin Shen? Obviously, things are not that simple.

"It is A Tian's blessing to be favored by the great priest." Deng Kuang said.

If Shi Zhongqing is willing to come forward, I think the Changsheng Star Palace will have to give him some face. Wu Qing will not reject Shi Zhongqing's face just because of a suspicion.

Shui Jingyuan said anxiously: "Great Priest, A Tian is an outstanding Star Priest of the Changsheng Star Palace. They may not release him. We should consider this matter carefully."

Just now, Deng Kuang mentioned Lin Shen’s matter to Shui Jingyuan. Originally, Deng Kuang thought that based on his friendship with Shui Jingyuan, Shui Jingyuan should be able to help.

But who knew that after Shui Jingyuan heard about this, she told Deng Kuang that this matter was very difficult to handle and asked him to think of other ways.

It’s not that Shui Jingyuan doesn’t want to sell his friendship with Deng Kuang, but because Shui Jingyuan knows the situation of the Changsheng Star Palace better than anyone else.

After the high priest of Changshengxing Temple disappeared, Wu Qing became the acting high priest.

Shui Jingyuan and Wu Qing joined the Star God Palace at the same time. They had a good relationship before and had faced each other many times in competitions. It can be said that they could not reach a deal without fighting.

He knew Wu Qing too well. That person didn't care about the views and opinions of outsiders, nor did he care what others thought.

As long as he has determined something, he must make it clear.

Maybe others would think that Wu Qing targeted A Tian because of Wu Xiaoming’s matter.

But based on Shui Jingyuan's understanding of Wu Qing, he would never target A Tian because of Wu Xiaoming's matter, so there must be something wrong with A Tian, which is why Wu Qing targeted him.

If such a problematic person were transferred to Zhongtianxing Palace, it would obviously be detrimental to Zhongtianxing Palace.

Therefore, Shui Jingyuan rejected Deng Kuang from the very beginning. When she heard Shi Zhongqing say this, she hurriedly spoke out to stop him.

He wanted to stop the matter first, and then find Shi Zhongqing in private to explain the situation.

Shi Zhongqing has been the high priest in the Star God Palace for so many years. He can be said to be the one with the longest tenure among the current six high priests.

Moreover, Shi Zhongqing had the best temper. Even if his subordinates raised any objections, he would generally consider them carefully, unlike other high priests who were generally so unkind. Shui Jingyuan thought that Shi Zhongqing would definitely understand what he meant by saying this.

But today seemed a little different. Shi Zhongqing said with a smile, "It should be said that it is our blessing that Ah Tian can come to our Zhongtianxing Palace."

"High Priest..." Shui Jingyuan was shocked when he heard this. He thought that Shi Zhongqing didn't hear what he said clearly, and wanted to say something else.

Shi Zhongqing interrupted Shui Jingyuan and said, "Jingyuan, the position of the head of Xingxiu Pavilion is still vacant. When A Tian is transferred here, let him go to Xingxiu Pavilion."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Shui Jingyuan's face changed drastically, even Deng Kuang, who already had a bad complexion, showed a look of astonishment.

When Deng Kuang heard Shui Jingyuan say that just now, he cursed all his ancestors in his heart.

Given his friendship with Shui Jingyuan, it would have been fine if Shui Jingyuan didn't help, but she actually stood there to stop him.

If this wasn't the Star God Palace, Deng Kuang would have wanted to draw his sword and fight Shui Jingyuan.

But now after hearing Shi Zhongqing's words, Deng Kuang was really a little scared.

What is Xingxiu Pavilion? Even though Deng Kuang is not a Star Priest, he knows that Xingxiu Pavilion is where the Great Priest communicates with the Emperor of the Immortal Court.

Each of the six major Star God Palaces has a Star Hall. The owners of the Star Halls in all generations are strong contenders for the position of High Priest, and most of them will become High Priests.

Shi Zhongqing actually said to let Lin Shen go to Xingxiu Pavilion, which is equivalent to saying that he wants Lin Shen to become his successor.

This really scared Deng Kuang, and Shui Jingyuan was so frightened that his emotions were completely out of control.

"High Priest... No..." Shui Jingyuan no longer had time to think of some euphemistic words at this moment.

If a problematic Star God Palace is allowed to become the owner of the Star Hall, if something goes wrong, the Zhongtian Star Priest will not only become a laughing stock, but may also cause unimaginable disasters.

Shi Zhongqing was very different today than usual. He didn't let Shui Jingyuan continue talking and interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "I have already made the decision on this matter. No need to say more. You should go through the process now and transfer Ah Tian from the Changsheng Star Palace. The sooner the better."

Things have come to this point, Shui Jingyuan knew that he couldn't say anything more.

If he continued speaking in front of outsiders, he would be disobeying the high priest.

Shui Jingyuan could only respond first, planning to wait until Deng Kuang and Lin Shen left before explaining the situation to Shi Zhongqing in private.

Deng Kuang and Lin Shen were both overjoyed. Deng Kuang originally thought that this matter was impossible, but he did not expect that there would be a sudden turn of events.

With Shi Zhongqing's intervention, Lin Shen would not only be able to be transferred here, but he might even become the master of Xingxiu Pavilion, which is the cradle of great priests.

Thinking that Lin Shen might become the high priest in the future, Deng Kuang felt happy for him. At the same time, he was a little surprised. He wondered what the relationship between Lin Shen and Shi Zhongqing was, and why Shi Zhongqing would treat Lin Shen like this.

"Atian, you go back to the Changsheng Star Palace first and go through the normal process, otherwise it will be unreasonable. Don't worry, whether the Changsheng Star Palace agrees or not, I will definitely transfer you here, and no one can stop me." Shi Zhongqing's words made Shui Jingyuan numb.

Shi Zhongqing, who has always been gentle, actually made such a promise to an outsider. Shui Jingyuan has begun to doubt whether he has not woken up today.
