Hearing Bai Letian's words, not only was Long Chen stunned, but everyone present looked at the dean in disbelief.
"Dean, isn't this making things too difficult for Long Chen?" Elder Tianlei was on good terms with Long Chen and couldn't help but say.
Tasks that none of them could complete were directly handed over to Long Chen. On one hand, he felt the pressure on Long Chen was too great; on the other, it showed their incompetence. How could such a task be pushed to the younger generation? It's hard to keep it on your face.
But Bai Zhantang had another idea. He protested, "How can a disciple bear such a major matter? If anyone has to bear the responsibility, I'll do it. Bai
Zhantang patted his chest, but as he was doing so, Bai Shishi's mother and Bai Xiaole's mother both stood up at the same time and deliberately moved their seats to the side.
"What do you mean?" Bai Zhantang said, widening his big eyes.
It was obvious that his two wives wanted to keep a certain distance from Bai Zhantang, which was essentially a silent rejection of his opinion.
Although the two of them also felt it was inappropriate to leave this matter to Long Chen, since this was the Pure Courtyard Master's wish, even if they thought it was inappropriate, they wouldn't object. Therefore, they needed to draw a clear line with Bai Zhantang now to prevent him from acting recklessly.
Long Chen gave a bitter smile and said, "Dean, are you trying to force me to be forced onto the shelf?" "
Entrusting such a task that even a group of people can't do to him is like a Divine Venerable-level disciple. Even Long Chen, who is bold beyond words, feels the pressure as overwhelming as a mountain, making it hard to breathe."
"Dean Long Chen, don't feel too much pressure. We'll handle the labor; you just need to make the decision." Bai Letian said.
It sounds easy, but if this idea is wrong, Lingxiao Academy could be doomed. The First Academy concerns its future. It can be said that Lingxiao Academy can only gamble on everything now. At this moment, who would dare to make such a move?
Seeing Long Chen's worried expression, Bai Shishi's mother felt a bit sorry for her future son-in-law and said softly,
"Long Chen, you don't need to worry, and don't be under too much pressure. If a problem can't be solved, it's because we haven't found the key yet."
And this key is sometimes found, sometimes forged. When we have no clue, it's better to wait and see. Time is sometimes part of the key.
To accomplish great things, one must have the right timing, geographical advantages, and harmony among people. All three are indispensable. We can slowly build up strength, gather chips, wait for opportunities, and proceed step by step. Hearing
Bai Shishi's mother's words, Long Chen immediately felt much less pressure. She was right—although this was inevitable, there was no set deadline for him to complete it.
Long Chen had always been impatient; whenever he heard about a task, he wanted to start solving it immediately. Now, with Bai Shishi's mother's encouragement, Long Chen felt much more at ease.
Bai Xiaole's mother chimed in, "Sister, you're right. Time is very favorable for us. You and I still have Zhantang, and it won't be long before we advance to the Heavenly Saint stage."
When the Hall Master returns, our academy's strength will be unprecedented, so you don't need to put too much pressure on us." "
By the way, where did the Hall Master go?" Only then did Long Chen think of the Hall Master. After all, the Hall Master's strength was terrifyingly powerful, yet this time he hadn't seen him.
"The Hall Master said there is something very important to attend to, whether in the shortest half a year or a year, and he will return. But he didn't specify the specifics." Bai Xiaole's mother said.
Being able to leave at this critical moment means the Hall Master's affairs must be extremely important. However, such a major event would definitely involve the Hall Master's involvement, so Long Chen wouldn't have to be so anxious.
"Those two are right. You have to eat your meal bite by bite, and walk the road one step at a time. Dean Long Chen, your top priority is to first adapt to the laws here, so your body and the laws align, so you won't be restricted by the Heavenly Dao."
Once you have fully adapted to the laws of heaven and earth, I will take you to the former site of the First Academy, and then we will discuss our next steps. Bai Letian said.
Long Chen nodded and walked out. Watching Long Chen's departing figure, Elder Tianlei couldn't help but smile wryly: "
Entrusting this kind of thing to a Divine Sovereign disciple is really awkward."
It was indeed awkward. The Heavenly Saint experts were at a loss, and letting a disciple step forward made everyone feel their faces burning.
"If you ask me, no matter what extraterritorial demons are, we'll just fight head-on. If once doesn't work, then twice; if twice doesn't work, then ten times. Sooner or later, we'll kill them all." Bai Zhantang couldn't help but say.
Elder Ling Tian shook his head and said,
"Vice Hall Master, you may not know, but that extraterritorial demon is extremely terrifying. We once tentatively attacked but suffered a heavy loss."
"Did you get the short end of the stick?" Bai Zhantang was shocked.
He didn't know about others, but Elder Ling Tian was the chief among the four great elders of Heaven, Earth, Wind, and Thunder, with unfathomable strength. In the academy, aside from the Hall Master, the person he admired most was Elder Ling Tian.
But even Elder Ling Tian suffered losses at the hands of the Outer Realm Demons, and even described them as "terrifying." Bai Zhantang couldn't help but be startled.
"Those extraterritorial demons..."
Elder Ling Tian was about to explain, but was interrupted by the dean. Bai Letian said, "Letian said, "Let's talk about this matter slowly. The urgent task now is to reestablish a new base."
Right now, we're in the most desperate situation, and there's no guarantee the enemy won't use other underhanded tricks. Even with the Lingxiao Divine Sword in hand, we must remain cautious.
No matter how difficult the situation, we must ensure the disciples' safety and allow them to cultivate with peace of mind. As
he spoke, Bai Letian looked at Bai Shishi's mother. Bai Shishi's mother said,
"My sister and I have already found a good place. Although there are evil spirits lurking there, with our strength, we can easily take it down."
But this time, the enemy knows our whereabouts inside out. I'm afraid our next move is already within their expectations..."
As she spoke, Bai Shishi's mother looked worried, as if every move they made was under their surveillance. This was going to be difficult.
Elder Ling Tian said, "This kind of thing is not impossible. We must be on guard. Now that the academy's disciples have arrived, we need to be even more cautious. The younger generation is the future of the academy." Elder
Tianlei and the others nodded. If the previous ambush had happened now, who knows how many academy disciples would have died in the chaos, and even if they wanted to protect them, they would be powerless.
For a moment, everyone frowned deeply, unable to think of a good solution. Bai Letian let out a long sigh, then gave a bitter smile and said, "
It seems all of this is being calculated by Lord Jingyuan. Forget it, let's just follow your lead."
Everyone immediately looked at each other, and at the same time, Bai Letian recalled what Bai Letian had said before: When there's nothing else to do, stop fussing and leave the tricky problems to those who have the right way.
