Chapter 374: Zhao Tianxing's Problem, Entrusting the Orphan!

Qianlong City, Qianlong Academy, inside the principal's office.

Su Yu and Xiang Shaoyun and others came to the office.

But when they saw the situation inside the office, they couldn't help but their gazes sank.

Their spirits surged with waves.

All that could be seen was a middle-aged man with a full head of silver hair sitting there.

Although said to be middle-aged, the skin on his body was already like that of an old man, full of wrinkles.

Although his aura was extremely strong, beneath that skin it seemed there was no flesh left, only a layer of skin clinging tightly to the bones.

And this person was none other than Zhao Tianxing.

Beside Zhao Tianxing, Li Zhangsheng stood silently, holding a jade sword, saying nothing.

Zhao Tianxing saw Su Yu and the three, instantly smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said.

"Come? Since you've come, then come over and sit!"

Zhao Tianxing smiled, the wrinkles on his face were like a chrysanthemum, dense and dense.

Su Yu, Chu Hong, and Xiang Shaoyun seeing this, their faces were extremely solemn, but they still sat down as Zhao Tianxing requested.

Just as they sat down, Xiang Shaoyun couldn't hold back.

"Old man, what's wrong with you? How come in half an hour you haven't been seen and you've become like this?"

Xiang Shaoyun looked at Zhao Tianxing, utterly puzzled.

You should know that half an hour ago, Zhao Tianxing was in the void, slaughtering in all directions as a Five-step Ennobled King.

And now he has actually become like this.

This really makes Xiang Shaoyun unable to hold back.

Su Yu also spoke in a low voice.

"Principal, could it be that your body has encountered some problem?"

Su Yu could clearly feel that Zhao Tianxing's vitality was like a river with a breach, flowing out quickly through that breach.

Although the river is extremely wide, as time passes the breach will keep getting larger, until finally it becomes a dry riverbed.

And Zhao Tianxing now is exactly in such a situation.

Zhao Tianxing smiled slightly.

"Since you've already seen it, I'll make a long story short."

"Although I have long been settled at the Marquis Peak, if I were to break through, at most I could reach three steps, which is already my limit."

Hearing Zhao Tianxing's words, Su Yu's spirit instantly sank.

He had already understood Zhao Tianxing's meaning.

According to the original plan, Zhao Tianxing could at most break through three-step Ennobled King, but this time the ten-thousand races invasion, the four-step peak Ghost Emperor personally descended Qianlong City.

Plus the fall of Elder Xuan, causing Zhao Tianxing to have to resort to some means, forcibly raising himself to the five-step Ennobled King realm.

And this price is the continuous draining of Zhao Tianxing's vitality!

Thinking of this, Su Yu felt a little unbearable.

Xiang Shaoyun directly couldn't hold back and stood up.

"Old man, what do you mean? If vitality is insufficient, then hurry and find something to replenish vitality!"

"Why did you call us here? Is it to entrust the orphan?"

Xiang Shaoyun's eyes were red, he shouted loudly.

Although he usually seems carefree, sometimes even arguing with Zhao Tianxing.

But as Zhao Tianxing's disciple, the reason he can be so unrestrained is that his bond with Zhao Tianxing has already reached a level akin to familial affection.

Now, hearing Zhao Tianxing's words, he immediately couldn't hold back.

He even more directly shouted out.

Zhao Tianxing rarely refrained from throwing Xiang Shaoyun against the wall; he merely shook his head slightly.

"Ordinary life-extending methods cannot let me survive. I summoned you also for the later development of Qianlong Academy."

In Zhao Tianxing's eyes, a gleam flashed.

"After I leave, Li Zhangsheng will take over my position as principal, becoming the next principal of Qianlong Academy."

Beside, Li Zhangsheng moved his lips but ultimately still said nothing.

Obviously, the two had already discussed this beforehand.

Xiang Shaoyun said, extremely dissatisfied.

"That's your business, why did you call us? I, the young master, am about to graduate; when the time comes, I, the young master, will find you no matter where you are, even if it's the god or demon race, I, the young master, will find you!"

Although Xiang Shaoyun's words seemed extremely nonchalant, one could see his fists clenched tightly.

His body trembled slightly.

As if he was enduring something.

Zhao Tianxing's eyes suddenly burst forth a stern light, falling upon Xiang Shaoyun.

"Xiang Shaoyun, I am your teacher. I order you, after graduation you may become a teacher of Qianlong Academy; upon breaking through Marquis, you will become the principal of Qianlong Academy!"

Xiang Shaoyun's body jerked violently, head lowered, making his expression unreadable.

Zhao Tianxing's gaze softened, like looking at his own child as he looked at Xiang Shaoyun.

"You are my robe-and-bowl heir, also today's pride; future breakthrough of Marquis is merely a matter of time. Your Senior Uncle, although strong, is lacking in worldly affairs; after you graduate, become a teacher of Qianlong Academy, assist your Senior Uncle, manage Qianlong Academy."

Zhao Tianxing's words were not only meant for Xiang Shaoyun, but also more so for Li Zhangsheng.

Li Zhangsheng's personality is indifferent; he is the utmost sword cultivator.

Put bluntly, his emotional intelligence is low.

Such a person could perhaps fill the position of Qianlong Academy principal for a short time, but in the long run it wouldn't work.

Li Zhangsheng stood quietly beside Zhao Tianxing, saying nothing.

Afterward, Zhao Tianxing shifted his gaze to Chu Hong.

"Chu Hong..."

Chu Hong suddenly raised his head, looking at Zhao Tianxing.

Zhao Tianxing smiled faintly.

"Your talent is not weak, even not inferior to Xiang Shaoyun, but do you know why you cannot surpass him?"

Chu Hong remained silent for a moment, then spoke lightly.

"His resources are better than mine."

Zhao Tianxing shook his head and said.

"No, although Xiang Shaoyun is my disciple, all his resources are earned by himself; your problem is that you are simply too arrogant and high-spirited."

"You are about to graduate; I want you to be a teacher at Qianlong Academy for four years after graduation, not more, just four years."

"During those four years, if you can change your mindset, it may greatly help your future path."

"After four years, you can do whatever you want. Can you agree to my request?"

Chu Hong remained silent for a long time, then slowly nodded.

Seeing this, Zhao Tianxing showed a satisfied smile, then immediately turned his gaze to Su Yu, who had remained silent.

"Su Yu..."

Looking at Su Yu, Zhao Tianxing's expression suddenly turned somewhat strange, because he realized he seemed to have nothing to advise Su Yu.

For a moment, the office fell into silence.
