"I do!"
Zhang Xuan replied with a nod.
Not only so, he even became the only candidate for the position.
"There's a set of criteria for selecting the head of the Sanctum of Sages. Those who don't meet the requirements are unable to inherit the position. You should have heard of this before, right?" Yuan Xiao asked.
Zhang Xuan nodded.
To become the head of the Sanctum of Sages, one had to possess the Eye of Insight, be a master teacher, be an upright person, be humble, humble, noble, dashing, and lovable … It was due to these criteria that Sage Kui had bestowed him with the Sanctum of Sages Token.
Without these criteria, it would be impossible for him to become the head of the Sanctum of Sages.
"The same goes for the clan heads of Sage Clans. Only those with a pure bloodline are qualified to become the head of the Sanctum of Sages. It's not just because you are strong enough that you are qualified to take over the position. Take the current head of the Zhang clan for example, the Xingmeng Sword Saint, for example, is just a substitute clan head. The true head of the Zhang clan is the young prodigy. In the past several thousand years, he's the only one whose bloodline purity has reached the required level! "
Yuan Xiao said. "The same goes for the Luo Clan. Even though Brother Xuanqing's bloodline is pure, he's still not qualified to become the head of the Zhang clan. It's just that he's still too young at the moment, so the elders are the ones to represent him! "
Zhang Xuan nodded in realization.
It was the same as his situation.
Even though the Sanctum of Sages had a substitute sanctum head, as long as he could decipher the seal, he would become the head of the Sanctum of Sages.
This was a rule set by Sage Kui, and it was a 'gift' that Kong Shi had left behind. No one would dare to disobey it.
Otherwise, they would become the target of everyone's criticism.
"So, it's impossible for the clan to assassinate the young prodigy. Furthermore, this young prodigy possesses a pure bloodline. Once he matures, the entire Zhang Clan will grow stronger, and the entire clan will gain glory. Who would be foolish enough to ruin their own future? "" That's right.
Yuan Xiao explained.
"Ah …"
Zhang Xuan felt a little awkward.
He had only made a casual guess. He did not think that the Sage Clans would have so many rules.
If what the other party said was true, the possibility of the Zhang family launching a sneak attack on the young prodigy was indeed not high.
"This is a secret that my teacher has only told me once, so I can't confirm whether it's true or not. Besides, considering how large the Zhang family is, there are at least several thousand people born in the same year as him. There's a good chance that he might be the child of a friend of the Xingmeng Sword Saint!"
Bi Hongyin shook her head.
The legacy of the Zhang family had been around for tens of thousands of years, and it was already on the level of a colossal empire. Its core and branches were intertwined with one another, and its population was innumerable. As such, it was hard to say how many juniors were born in the same year. As long as the other party didn't say it out loud, no one would be able to confirm that the young prodigy was indeed the young prodigy.
After all, for a super genius that only appeared once in ten thousand years to be on the verge of death not long after he was born … If it was anyone else, they would think that it was a fantasy and find it unbelievable.
"That's true …" The crowd nodded.
"Alright, let's not talk about the Zhang family anymore!"
Bi Hongyin knew that no matter how much she said, it would be impossible for her to confirm the matter. Thus, she turned to Luo Xuanqing and asked, "Brother Luo, I heard that the little princess has been away from the Sanctum of Sages for the past few days. Has she returned yet?"
Hearing her question, Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly turned his gaze over.
Initially, he was still a little disgusted by Bi Hongyin, who had made a move on him as soon as they met, but after hearing her question, he couldn't help but feel grateful.
Speaking of his younger sister, Luo Xuanqing nodded with a smile. "She has already returned."
"She's back? That's good. May I know if there's an opportunity for you to bring me over to meet her? We're both students of the Inner Sanctum, but I've never met the legendary genius before! "
Bi Hongyin said.
Even though the little princess had been in the Sanctum of Sages for two years and left behind many records, there were only a handful of people in the entire Sanctum of Sages who had met her.
They had only heard rumors that she was the number one beauty in the world. As for what she looked like, they could only speculate.
"I don't know who she has offended, but she has been so engrossed in her cultivation that she doesn't even want to meet me, let alone others!"
Luo Xuanqing waved his hand.
"Engrossed in her cultivation? She's already so powerful … "Zhang Xuan felt a twinge in his heart.
Back then, back at the Qiu Wu Palace, the young lady had hesitated for a very long time before agreeing to be his girlfriend. Most likely, it was because she knew that it was a marriage agreement, and she was unable to reject it. But even so, she still agreed to it.
Most likely, she already had a plan in mind, and she wanted to cultivate as quickly as possible so that she could control her own destiny.
She didn't want to be tied down by her clan.
"You seem to be very interested in my younger sister."
Luo Xuanqing turned to look at Zhang Xuan with narrowed eyes.
Zhang Xuan had lost control of his emotions earlier, allowing Bi Hongyin to see through his emotions.
"I …" Zhang Xuan was just about to say that Bi Hongyin had already agreed to be his girlfriend, but he suddenly stopped himself from saying anything.
Putting aside whether Bi Hongyin would believe him or not, even if she did, once the news spread, he would surely become the target of public criticism!
The fiancée of the young prodigy of the Zhang clan had fallen in love with an unaffiliated cultivator from an insignificant place …
That would surely lead to an uproar, and if things went awry, it might even bring Lozosy even more trouble.
The reason why she was cultivating so hard was so that she could be with him, so he could not drag her down.
Just wait until I break the seal and become the head of the Sanctum of Sages … Then, I'll be able to say it out loud …
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan suppressed the agitation in his heart.
At the moment, the most important thing for him was to cultivate in a low-profile manner so that he could break the seal as soon as possible. He did not want to bring trouble upon himself by revealing his relationship with Bi Hongyin.
He was not afraid of trouble, but if he were to cause trouble for Lozosy, he would have to bear the consequences.
"Little Princess, I have heard of your name back when I was still in the Qingyuan Empire, and I have always been impressed by you. Naturally, I am a little curious about you!"
Driving his Tranquil Will, Zhang Xuan replied with a smile.
"Humph! If I learn that you have any designs on my younger sister, even if we are acquaintances, I'll beat you up so badly that you won't be able to find your bearings! "
Luo Xuanqing harrumphed threateningly.
"Of course," Zhang Xuan replied with a bitter smile.
To be threatened by his brother-in-law … What the heck was this?
At the same time, he was also glad that he had not admitted to it earlier. Otherwise, not only would their relationship have collapsed, he might even have been pummeled once more.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Right, Zhang Shi, of the freshmen in your cohort, Zhang Yu can be considered as a formidable figure. There's another person who isn't from the Zhang Clan, but he possesses exceptional talent. His name is Feng Ziyi. You should know him, right?"
Yun Lianhai chuckled as he changed the topic.
"I know Feng Ziyi. He's the champion of the Mountain Gate selection this time around," Zhang Xuan replied. "I heard that he's the direct disciple of one of the grand elders of the Mingshi Tang headquarters!"
"Indeed. The three grand elders of the Master Teacher Pavilion headquarters are usually very elusive, and it's hard to pinpoint their whereabouts. To be able to become their direct disciple, that Feng Ziyi sure is lucky. Not to mention, the one who accepted him as his direct disciple is the head of the three grand elders, Yang shi! "
Yun Lianhai remarked.
"Yang shi?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"That's right, Yang shi, Yang Xuan!" Yun Lianhai replied.
"Yang … Xuan?"
Zhang Xuan's body jolted upon hearing those words.
