Hearing An Ning's response left Bao Guoan somewhat stupefied.
For a moment, he couldn't tell if An Ning was sincerely recommending or just joking with him.
He personally thought it was a joke, but An Ning never joked... at least not with him.
Sect Hierarch?
He wanted that position too.
And he had for decades.
But, there was only one Sect Hierarch in the entire Flame Shrine, while there were thirteen red cardinals... They were nearly fighting their brains out for the position of Sect Hierarch, what more a newcomer?
Bao Guoan looked at An Ning with a skeptical expression and asked, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I do," An Ning nodded.
"You want to recommend him as Sect Hierarch?"
"Yes," An Ning nodded, "No one is more suited for the position than he is."
...
Bao Guoan was simply infuriated.
He didn't like An Ning's response.
First, she wasn't joking; she seriously wanted him to recommend her "big brother" as Sect Hierarch.
