Chapter 269

~5 min read 880 words

Shi Difen opened his eyes and stood up, trembling unsteadily.

It turned out his legs had gone completely stiff.

Shi Difen had been sitting here for three days.

Wang looked at Shi Difen with curiosity and asked.

"What did the Ancient One say to you in the end?"

Shi Difen looked at the Eye of Agamotto before him, then looked back at Wang and said.

"Guard it at all costs."

Wang thought for a moment: "The Ancient One passed the position of Supreme Sorcerer to you?"

"No, she didn't have time." Shi Difen admitted very frankly, but immediately added: "But I will properly take on her duties."

Wang thought for a moment.

He actually didn't have that much ambition for the position of Supreme Sorcerer.

Although this position was one every sorcerer longed for.

But what Wang recognized was the legitimate position.

So he still reminded him.

"The Ancient One did not publicly announce passing the position of Supreme Sorcerer to you."

"So when you're outside, it's best to say the Ancient One passed it to you in the end."

"Only this way can you have better leadership as a sorcerer."

Shi Difen heard this answer.

He immediately pretended to be puzzled and asked Wang.

"Does no one know about me driving Dormammu back in the end?"

"No, of course not." Wang immediately shook his head: "Every sorcerer knows about this, and it's still spreading."

"But what I mean is, there will be sorcerers with ill intentions eyeing your current position who use this as a breakthrough."

Hearing these words.

"Oh~~~"

Shi Difen's expression turned to one of sudden realization.

Of course, at least half of this sudden realization was faked.

He was just humorously exaggerating a bit.

"Then what should I do?" Shi Difen suddenly looked at Wang.

When the Ancient One was still around.

Wang was the caretaker of Kamar-Taj.

More precisely, the librarian.

And also the guard protecting the library.

Or one could say the Ancient One's assistant.

Because basically Wang did all these jobs.

So Shi Difen's meaning was...

Wang was qualified to become Supreme Sorcerer.

And Shi Difen's question was precisely probing whether Wang wanted to become Supreme Sorcerer.

Actually, when the Ancient One was leaving.

The Ancient One had already transmitted the position of Supreme Sorcerer to him in his mind.

It's just that after Shi Difen saw sorcerers betray as well.

He deliberately said this to fish.

Otherwise he had no time to wait and see who the real traitor was.

Wang heard Shi Difen's 373rd question.

He looked into Shi Difen's eyes, squinted slightly, then asked back.

"You suspect I want your position?"

"When you were learning spells, it was I who taught you."

"When you snuck into the library, it was I who, following the Ancient One's will, deliberately let you in."

"The Ancient One's departure saddens me even more than you!"

"And now you suspect I want to seize the position of Supreme Sorcerer?!"

To be honest.

Wang had been a sorcerer by the Ancient One's side for so many years.

So he could sense Shi Difen probing him.

"Sorry."

And Shi Difen, hearing Wang's words, also slightly awkwardly rubbed his nose.

"These past days I've seen too many sorcerers betray their hearts for power."

"So I had to be on guard against everyone here."

"Besides, we haven't known each other that long."

Wang nodded after hearing: "I understand you, if it were me I'd do the same."

For men to become familiar with each other, it takes talking.

Now Shi Difen and Wang had a round of heart exchanged for heart.

So the trust between the two of them immediately rose quite a bit.

Wang also knew that Shi Difen had his own plans and didn't need him to worry about them, so he stopped asking.

And Shi Difen also roughly understood Wang's true nature.

So he stopped testing him as well.

This was very good.

The two of them continued chatting like this late into the night.

But as they chatted on and on.

Wang suddenly seemed to remember something and said seriously.

"Right, there's one person you must treat with respect when you meet them again."

Shi Difen was stunned when he heard this.

"I am the Supreme Sorcerer."

Right, I'm already the Supreme Sorcerer — who would I need to specially treat with respect?

Wang glanced at Shi Difen, then still nodded seriously and said: "Yes, precisely because you are the Supreme Sorcerer."

Shi Difen:???

Shi Difen was completely baffled.

"Then tell me, who is it."

"You've met them."

"I've met them?"

The more Shi Difen listened, the more confused he became.

Wang looked at Shi Difen and knew he couldn't remember.

So he gave a hint.

"That day, the man who guided you together with the Ancient One — there was also a little girl with green hair following beside him."

That day, huh.

Shi Difen recalled for a moment, then suddenly reacted.

"Su?!"

"Yes." Wang nodded in confirmation.

Then he began to brief Shi Difen.

"Don't think that just because you've become the Supreme Sorcerer you can act recklessly."

"Godfather Su's power surpasses the Ancient One's."

"After a certain debate one day, the Ancient One took the initiative to acknowledge Godfather Su's status."
