"In a few years, after you break through to the Soul Emperor level, I will formally propose to the Elders that you be named the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall!"
"Holy Son?" Xuan Hao was stunned.
Although everyone calls him that in private, and there are even rumors about it outside, this is a promise that Bibi Dong officially made!
This means that she has already regarded him as the sole and undisputed heir of the Spirit Hall!
"Yes."
Bibi Dong turned around without looking back, and continued walking towards the inner hall:
"The future of the Spirit Hall belongs to you."
"Since this position will eventually be handed to you, it is only natural that you should win over these future team members, these right-hand men who can fight for you, and bestow favors upon them."
"Go, take the things to them."
“Tell them that this was given to them by you, Xuan Hao, not by me, Bibi Dong.”
As her voice fell, Bibi Dong's tall figure completely disappeared behind the screen, leaving Xuan Hao alone kneeling in the center of the empty hall, staring at the boxes of radiant immortal herbs on the table, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
"You're attacking my weakest point..."
Xuan Hao pursed his lips.
He was also thinking of taking more things so that he could feel at ease.
Is this how you do it?
"Elder Ju!"
Xuan Hao arrived at the entrance of the main hall and called Yue Guan, who was not far away, over. "Please go to the Martial Soul Academy and call Nana, Xie Yue, and that red-haired Yan over here."
"Why are you calling them?"
You'll find out soon enough.
……
Not long after, hurried footsteps could be heard outside the hall.
"Elder Ju, is there some important task your teacher has summoned us for?"
Hu Liena's voice betrayed a hint of nervousness and anticipation.
"You'll see when you get there."
"crunch-"
The heavy palace doors were pushed open, and Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan straightened their clothes and stepped in solemnly, just about to bow and pay homage to His Holiness the Pope.
However, when they looked up and saw the figure above the hall, the three of them froze instantly.
There, on the high and mighty papal throne, leaned a silver-haired boy lazily against the armrest.
He was toying with the papal jade seal that Bibi Dong used for stamping, and he was looking down at them with a smile.
The main hall was empty; there was no sign of Bibi Dong.
"Xuan...Xuan Hao?!"
Hu Liena's alluring fox-like eyes widened, her usual elegance vanished, and as she pointed at the boy above, her voice trembled:
"You...you want to go to heaven?!"
"You disappeared for months, and now you dare to sit in the teacher's seat?! Are you trying to rebel?!"
Xie Yue and Yan, standing nearby, also looked terrified, glancing around instinctively, fearing that His Holiness the Pope might suddenly rush out and kill this audacious fellow.
Yue Guan, standing to the side, crossed his arms and looked completely unfazed.
Not to mention the Papal Palace, this kid used to be able to enter and sleep in the Papal Palace whenever he wanted.
In this Spirit Hall, apart from that one position he can't sit in right now, there are basically no other taboos.
"Stay calm, stay calm."
Xuan Hao chuckled as he looked at the three of them, who seemed to have never seen anything like this before. He then lightly leaped down from the high platform and landed steadily in front of them.
He straightened his clothes, which were free of wrinkles, then put his hands behind his back, cleared his throat, and said with a serious expression:
"Let's get to know each other again."
"Just now, the teacher made a solemn promise."
Xuan Hao raised his chin and glanced at the three of them:
"From this day forward, I, Xuan Hao, am the future Holy Son of the Spirit Hall!"
"what?!"
Upon hearing this, the three of them were completely stunned.
Yan couldn't help but blurt out, "No... buddy, you're only nine years old!"
"This is the Holy Son?!"
"Whether it's the investiture of a Holy Son or a Holy Daughter, doesn't it all require a vote at the Elders' Council meeting, and even a series of rigorous tests? How come it's just a matter of a word for you?"
"What? You have a problem with that?"
Xuan Hao glanced at him sideways, "The teacher said that given my extraordinary talent, outstanding abilities, and the great contributions I have made to the Spirit Hall, he has made a special exception."
"Of course, the formal investiture ceremony will have to wait until I break through to Soul Emperor a few years from now."
At this point, Xuan Hao suddenly adopted a serious expression, patted Xie Yue and Yan on the shoulders, looked at Hu Liena, and sighed:
"The reason I'm in such a hurry to tell you this is for your own good."
"I was afraid that you might have any ulterior motives regarding my position, so I gave you this advance notice to thwart your ambitions for the throne."
"To save you from racking your brains to compete with me in the future, only to be utterly crushed by me in the end, which would be too damaging to the camaraderie among fellow disciples."
"..."
A dead silence.
Even Yue Guan, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and rolled her eyes.
A desire to seize the throne?
Can you believe this?!
Who has the guts and the ability to take it from you?!
Putting aside your abnormal talent and your soul power that has reached level 42 at this moment, Bibi Dong's unique indulgence and pampering of you is enough to make everyone hesitate!
Back when Xuan Hao's soul power was low, he could easily defeat all three of them when they joined forces at the academy.
Now this kid went out for a stroll and came back as a Soul Master, and even Qian Renxue was dealt with by him.
How could Xie Yue and Yan possibly argue with him?
As for Hu Liena...
She was indeed favored and was originally the most promising candidate to become the Holy Maiden. But compared to Xuan Hao, this prodigy, her title of "core of the Golden Generation" seemed rather dim.
Chapter 93 Distributing Immortal Herbs
……
Xuan Hao didn't waste any words and waved his hand.
"Open your eyes wide and look carefully! This is a priceless treasure that you may never see again in your lifetime!"
"Om-"
Five jade boxes appeared in mid-air instantly, lined up neatly in a row.
As the lids popped open one by one, a dazzling array of colors instantly illuminated the entire hall. A rich, almost tangible medicinal fragrance filled the air, and even just a whiff of it made one feel refreshed and invigorated, and even quickened the flow of one's soul power.
Although Hu Liena and the other two didn't recognize the value of the item, they were still stunned by its imposing aura. They stared wide-eyed, mouths agape, speechless.
"what--!!!"
A sharp, almost piercing scream came from the side, startling everyone.
Just moments ago, Yue Guan had been calm and collected, watching the show with his arms crossed. Now, he looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and his whole body tensed up.
His gaze was fixed on one of the jade boxes—where a large, blooming flower, as red as blood, lay quietly.
"This...this is..."
Yue Guan rushed forward in one stride, his speed so fast that he even left a trail of afterimages.
But he didn't try to snatch it. Instead, he stopped abruptly half a meter away from the jade box, as if it were some sacred and inviolable relic.
"Pfft!"
This dignified Title Douluo actually knelt down on one knee in front of several juniors!
He reached out his hand, trembling, wanting to touch it but not daring to, his eyes filled with fervor, infatuation, and even a hint of piety:
"The King of Flowers... the Heartbreaking Red Acacia!!"
"It really is it!! I can't believe I've actually seen it in my lifetime!!"
This scene completely stunned Hu Liena and the other two.
Is this... is this still the usually proud and effeminate Elder Ju?
Although Xuan Hao had anticipated that Yue Guan would react, he did not expect the old man to react so strongly. He almost thought that Yue Guan was going to kowtow to him on the spot.
"Ahem, Elder Ju, calm down, calm down."
Xuan Hao patted Yue Guan on the shoulder, trying to calm him down. "Although this thing is indeed very precious, you don't need to go to such lengths, do you?"
"Xiao...Xiao Hao!!"
Yue Guan suddenly turned her head, breathing rapidly, her eyes bloodshot as she gripped Xuan Hao's sleeve:
"Where...where did you find these things?!"
"One or two would be fine, but so many... so many top-grade immortal herbs appearing together, even the king of flowers..."
"Have you discovered the legendary treasure trove?! Have you?!"
