Chapter 2883: Chapter 1524: Success Depends on Human Effort, Fate Decides the Rest, Dreams of Blossoms Fade Upon Awakening_2
âSpeak,â Elder Zhong said with a puzzled expression, grabbing a handful of his explosive hairdo.
âBefore Hallmaster Dao resigned last time, he recommended you⊠Hallmaster Dao never acts without purpose; I want to know if you truly possess mysteries or strengths unknown to me?â
Everyone present was stunned for a moment, then thought it over carefully.
Indeed, Hallmaster Daoâs resignation had been halted by Ai Cangsheng last time, but the only person he had ever recommended was Zhong Yuanzi!
Swish, all eyes suddenly turned to Zhong Yuanzi, their hearts filled with doubts.
Could heâŠ
Could he really?
And to think, Elder Zhong really did hide something.
If Xu Xiaoshou hadnât attacked the Southern Zone gate of Jade Capital City, who would have known that Elder Zhong had developed the Great Path Diagram?
But the âGreat Path Diagramâ couldnât lead the Holy Divine Palace momentarily, let alone guide the people to resist the onslaught of the dark tide led by Saint Servant and Xu Xiaoshou.
SoâŠ
Only Hallmaster Dao knew whether there were certain qualifications in Zhong Yuanzi, more suitable for the Hallmaster than Dao Xuanji.
Previously, everyone merely suspectedâŠ
Now, faced with many doubtful but hopeful gazes, Zhong Yuanzi himself was also momentarily stunned.
Ah?
Am I mysterious?
Am I powerful?
Little Dao knew I could, but I myself didnât know if I could?
âSubjectively speakingâŠâ
Zhong Yuanzi hesitated to speak, âI believe I am not capable of taking on the role of HallmasterâŠâ
âAnd objectively?â Elder Yu couldnât wait, feeling that this old fellow was hiding some heavy artillery from him.
âObjectively speakingâŠâ
Elder Zhong grabbed another handful of his explosive hair in despair, âI really canât do it!â
He just wasnât cut out to be a Hallmaster!
He, along with everyone from Sacred Mountain Gui Zhe, blowing up the mountain and digging their own graves before Xu Xiaoshouâs return, that would have been easier.
To win as a Hallmaster?
Absurd!
And upon further thought, he still held the Apricot Realm jade talisman given by Xu Xiaoshouâam I even the type whoâd think of colluding with the enemy, and you want me as Hallmaster?
âAre you mad?â
Elder Zhong did have some affection for Sacred Mountain Gui Zhe and didnât want to destroy it himself. âAi Cangsheng, could it be possible that Little Dao had already plotted this all back then by laying out the misleading clues?â
This statement successfully silenced everyone.
Had he already calculated the possibility of failure during the pledge at the sacred mountain and layouting against Saint Servant, setting off a smokescreen in advance?
If it were Dao Xuanji, everyone now knew she definitely lacked that ability.
If it were Hallmaster DaoâŠ
âItâs not impossible, huh?â Elder Yu took another look at Elder Zhongâs stupid and foolish explosive hairdo, feeling more convinced by this speculation.
Ai Cangsheng also hesitated.
He really could not be sure anymore.
After all, that person was Hallmaster Dao; everything inconceivable linked to him had a potential element of intentionality.
If Elder Zhong were strong, and planning for the greater good, Ai Cangsheng would definitely wish for him to assume the Hallmaster to strategically position against Xu Xiaoshouâs return.
If that was Hallmaster Daoâs scheme, hissâŠ
âIf you ask me, Ai Cangsheng should be Hallmaster, and then he wouldnât need to worry about anything else, which is better than having a leaderless and disjointed group,â Elder Yu made a decisive comment, âafter all, Little Dao isnât likely to return!â
âShouldnât we at least search?â Xi knew he shouldnât speak up, but he couldnât help but interject at this moment.
He was the one who most hoped for Hallmaster Daoâs return!
Not to mention anything else, that purple vest at the Southern Zone gate of Jade Capital City, Xi vividly remembered it to this dayâbefore this, he could never have imagined that someone could detect the Aura of the Ancestorâs Power from a three-finger-thick vest, using it to set up a trap to capture Xu Xiaoshou.
Even now, thinking back, it remains absurdâŠ
But!
The fact is!
That was the closest they came to successâXu Xiaoshou nearly fell into the trap, unfortunately, Dao Xuanji intervened.
From the little seenâŠ
Hallmaster Dao had to be described as unorthodox and omnipotent.
Xi had not thought much of it before, but after following Hallmaster Xuanji for a while, day by day, he missed Hallmaster Dao even more!
His words obviously struck a chord with all the young people present, and even Beibei couldnât help but nod vigorously.
All the saints around then turned to look at Xi together, their eyes focused.
Xi felt a tremendous pressure, wishing he hadnât spoken.
But at that moment, the gaze of the elders was filled with sympathy and helplessness, without any hint of fault-finding.
The Nine Sacrifices Spiritual Body said softly, âLittle friend Xi, you should know that it wasnât that Hallmaster Dao wanted to be the Hallmaster, but that we⊠we used the position of Hallmaster to restrain him for over thirty years; he actually only wanted to research the Divine Puppet.â
The Ancestral Tree Nine Sacrifices Gui had seen more ups and downs on this sacred mountain than all the salt and rice the young ones present had ever consumed.
She had another thing she didnât say: Hallmaster Dao was nearly another Bei Huai.
Zhong Yuanzi couldnât help but interject, âHeâs crazier than I am, okay? Even he was stopped, yet he managed to create a Number Two; luckily, thereâs only oneâŠâ
Ai Cangsheng, also unaware of the Path Divisionâs situation, looking at the young ones before him, whispered back, âWhat do you think the first thing I wanted to do upon my return was? But the one who cannot be found has returned to the vast sea, without a trace.â
Elder Yu also laughed, âIf you can bring back Little Dao, I think youâd be more appropriate as Hallmaster; Hallmaster Dao could even be your deputy.â
Xi was stunned upon hearing this.
Accustomed to Hallmaster Xuanjiâs pace, that a single word from him would get feedback from all demi-saints, his first reaction wasâŠ
So gentle!
Could demi-saints really be so gentle, not interrupting, answering questions directly, purely responsive, and without Veiled Insinuations!
If only they were as blatantly condescending as the Dao siblings in their daily interactions, mocking how stupid his question was, Xi wouldnât have been so moved.
