140 Lineage (1/2)

Suppressing his agitation, Wang Baole immediately stood up and thanked Chen Yutong, who smiled and pulled him down to sit. After a brief conversation, Wang Baole took his leave, with Chen Yutong personally sending him out of the pavilion, before speaking cheerfully.

”Junior Brother Baole, as your Senior Brother, I look forward to the day you become an Armament Soldier. In order to qualify as an Armament Soldier, you'll have to refine a third-grade Numinous Treasure!

”Every year, there is a tournament held by the Dharmic Armament Pavilion specially for one to advance to become an Armament Soldier. I look forward to seeing you put in your best effort!”

After seeing that Wang Baole had left, Chen Yutong sipped on his Spirit tea, his lips curling into a smile. He seemed happy, and before long, the main team leader who had returned after sending Wang Baole off stood in front of Chen Yutong. He seemed to have something to say but stopped himself.

Chen Yutong took a glance at him and spoke emotionlessly.

”Zhou Penghai, are you thinking about how I seem to be biased toward Wang Baole, who has just arrived, by immediately giving him the authority to oversee all main team leaders, allowing him to be seated in a position just inferior to mine?”

The blue-shirted teen felt a tremble in his heart and immediately lowered his head. ”I wouldn't dare think of that.”

Listening to the blue-shirted teen's tone, Chen Yutong appeared calm. He then stood up and looked out of the window before speaking calmly.

”Wang Baole is an eight-inch True Breath expert and has contributed significantly to Ethereal Dao College. Even though he has just gained admission to Upper Academy Island, many major figures have already noticed him and are placing a lot of attention on him.

”Someone like him will not be an Armament Disciple forever. Whatever I said was not out of courtesy—it is a fact that it would not be long before he advances to become an Armament Soldier!

”As for me, I cannot be an Armament Soldier forever. Therefore, you must treat him like you treat me!” Chen Yutong looked at the blue-shirted teen after he had finished his words.

The youth's breathing hastened, and his heart palpitated at an even faster rate. He understood what Chen Yutong was implying with his words. The meaning behind what Chen Yutong said was that Wang Baole would be Chen Yutong's successor, a person who would be in charge of the College Administrative Department!

Therefore, he quickly pledged compliance, making the decision silently in his heart to interact more with Wang Baole in the future, bearing in mind to not offend him in any way.

”The others from the College Administrative Department do not know much about Junior Brother Baole. Since it's late now, you must remember to inform everyone tomorrow.” As Chen Yutong spoke, he raised his tea cup.

The blue-shirted teen immediately nodded. As he left respectfully, he thought about what Chen Yutong had said, and a fire grew in his heart.

Chen Yutong looked at the back view of the blue-shirted teen who was going away and smiled slightly. Even though there were some truth to what he had said just now, it was not the complete picture.

If it wasn't that there were many people who have their eyes on Junior Brother Baole, Master would have long taken him in as a personal disciple. In addition, even though I haven't known him for long and am not in a good position to comment, it isn't a big problem as I can still do some favors for him first.

Junior Brother Baole is someone who is partial on favors and grudges, and he will not forget how well Uncle-Master Lu, Master, and I have treated him. Considering him as one of my real Junior Brothers cannot be considered an exaggeration. If I am not biased toward him, who will look after him?

Chen Yutong narrowed his eyes as he thought about what his master had told him. His eyes also glowed as he thought about his understanding of Ethereal Dao College.

Uncle-Master Lu already has a firm position as the Chancellor of the Lower Academy Island, which no one can overthrow. This is the foundation of our clan. What's next will be the advancement of Grandmaster as the Deputy Sect Lord. Once this elder succeeds, it will be time for Master to become the Grand Elder of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion. Till them, within this generation of our clan, only Junior Brother Baole and I will be left to support each other and move forward.

Junior Brother Baole, you must work hard and become an Armament Soldier soon!

Chen Yutong smiled, a look of anticipation evident in his eyes.

His master was the one who looked highly upon Wang Baole and had given him the storage bracelet when he was on the Lower Academy Island. His Uncle-Master was naturally the old physician of the Lower Academy Island.

At the same time, Wang Baole, who was walking out from the College Administrative Department, was still recovering from the confusion in his head. Even though he had accepted the appointment and was agitated and excited, the entire incident seemed weird. There was no way he believed that the brief personal friendship that he had just built with Chen Yutong would make Chen Yutong bestow the rank of the main team leader of the Inspector main team upon him just like that.

Wang Baole was extremely aware of the significance of holding that position.

This puts me as the deputy chief of the College Administrative Department…

Wang Baole took a deep breath, a look of deep thought obvious from his eyes. He also did not believe that he had such privileges just because he had achieved a breakthrough at the eight-inch Spirit Root stage. He did not have any explanation for it after thinking of a long time, but he suddenly stopped after taking a few steps.

There is a possibility… If Chen Yutong's master was the Elder who gave me the storage bracelet and jade slip when I was on the Lower Academy Island, then it means that a lineage is formed between this master and apprentice duo, as well as the Chancellor. At the same time, the Chancellor treats me quite well.

Thinking of this, stories from the high officials' autobiographies immediately appeared in Wang Baole's mind. He seemed to have realized something after a while.

Lineage? Wang Baole's heart trembled. That word had always been a mysterious term in his mind. Now, as he slowly deciphered its meaning, he was agitated, despite still being skeptical.
