Considering everything he'd been through so far, Li Yundong honestly thought that nothing in this world could surprise him anymoreUntil he was suddenly bequeathed a title that he was sure he didn't deserve

Li Yundong, the frigging Head of the Fox Zen School

WhatThehell

He wasn't even a fox spirit, for Heavens' sake!

Grand out of his dazeLi Yundong glanced around a few tie the fox spirits' reactions to this sudden turn of eventsCao Yi and the other fox spirits looked just as shocked as he felt

”Lead… the Fox Zen School,” Grandmaster Liu wheezed”Protect these… woain”Safe…” The oldeyes held a glimmer of hope”I… know… that… that S- Su Chan… will… be happy… if… if you… beco's ht then—echoes of a past conversation between Su Chan and himselfIndeed, Su Chan had expressed that same wish beforeShe'd expressed to him hoonderful it would be if he could take over the leadershi+p of the Fox Zen School

”Pro's hand again

Li Yundong allowed the old rab his hand

”Promisepulled in a breath and looked deep into Grand eyesThen, he exhaled slowly”You have my word”

Grand breathLi Yundong waited with bated breath for the old wu… City… pond…”

Li Yundong leaned in closer”Pond? What pond?”

”Foot of Mount Qili… Pond… Please… I'… on you…”

Grandmaster Liu's eyes rolled upwards as he released his final breath

Li Yundong sighed and lay the old man's hands across the center of his chest

Cao Yimet the woman's eyes and noted the pools of unshed tears they held

”G- Grand rose to his feet and mutter a quick prayer to AcalanathaPlease watch over him…

Then he turned around to face the other fox spirits

”My deepest condolences,” he said”The grandmaster has passed

”Heavens… Zi Yuan jiějie,” Hongling whispered”What on earth did he do to you?”

Zi Yuan opened her eyes and saw Hongling's panicked expression hovering above her own faceZi Yuan went for a sling…” Zi Yuan shi+fted her head on Hongling's lap

”A- Are you alright, Zi Yuan jiějie?”

Zi Yuan sighed”I'ling muttered under her breath”How could he hit you for real after everything you've done for hirabbed Hongling's dress and gave her a pointed look”Hush,” she whisperedHongling scowled at Zi Yuan before turning awayZi Yuan released her protégé's dress and closed her eyes again

She could've co the same pseudo telepathic spell; but then she only had one talis before their battle began

Hopefully nobody heard Hongling's careless remark just now

On the plus side, the croas still in an uproar over her defeatMore than half of the army had fled; those who remained were either the loyal ones, or those with too h, Zi Yuan blinked her eyes openWith one hand, Zi Yuanto shi+ft their positionsThankfully, Hongling co at the te with Liu Ye

Zi Yuan shook her head slightly

Zi Yuan let out a soft sighAdht now, the man who had come so far in his Cultivation journey in just months

Heavens…

The Nine Elixirs Method

How on earth did he even o? Did he come up with it on his own? NoHe knew the exact name of the methodSo he couldn't have come up with it on his own

Zi Yuan forced her tired h the verses in Master's prophecyPerhaps another verse had just been fulfilled through tonight's eventsA ave up the effortShe couldn't see any connections at all between any of the verses and the Nine Elixirs Method

”HelpTianhé”

Hongling glanced down at Zi Yuan worriedly

”Hurry up” Zi Yuan gave her protégé a nudge

Hongling sighed and moved to help her up

The crowd fell silent theTianhé's eyes flicked towards her body, where they lingered for a moment or two

Zi Yuan schooled her features and held Zhang Tianhé's worried gazeTiainColdCo zhenren” Zi Yuan tilted her head towards the Heir”The plan has failedIt is futile to continue” It had been futile from the moment the HeirTianhé and took in the rehtened faces stared back at her”He has defeated even me” Zi Yuan paused for effectAfter a moment, she quirked a brow”Do any of you really think you stand a chance against hiot, although Zhang Tianhé now had a conflicted look on his faceAnd for so at each otherZi Yuan would have to ask her protégé about it later

”Call it off, Zhang zhenren,” Zi Yuan continued in a harsher tone”End this fruitless battle before it results into suppress her sunsZi Yuan arched a brow andTianhé's eyes”I'ood nayi School thus tainted” Zi Yuan paused pointedly”By his son, no less”
