Green Dragon Mountain.
Green Dragon Ridge.
Green Dragon Great Hall.
Master Lingkong sat on a Lotus seat with his eyes closed.
Wang Shuang crossed the threshold and slowly walked into the Great Hall.
“Grandmaster, you were looking for me?” asked Wang Shuang softly as he stood in front of Master Lingkong.
“Xiao Shuang, how long have you been in the Green Dragon?” asked Master Lingkong whilst slowly opening his eyes.
“Grandmaster, I entered the Green Dragon sect when I was eleven years old. It has been ten years since I started as an outer disciple.”
“Ten years…”
When Master Lingkong heard his reply, he quietly looked over at him.
After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, “I didn’t expect you to have been here for so long, Xiao Shuang.”
“Ten years. I presume you have some understanding of the entire Green Dragon sect?”
Master Lingkong looked at Wang Shuang with a kind expression.
After hearing his grandmaster’s question, Wang Shuang’s heart was filled with unusual emotions.
“Grandmaster…”
“What does this mean?”
“Why would he suddenly ask me this question?”
“Could it be that…? Was he preparing to hand over the entire Green Dragon sect to me and for it to be under my care?”
Wang Shuang could not help but think excitedly.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.
“As the wildest person in the Green Dragon sect’s younger generation, the Grandmaster would be able to see it.”
“So, is grandmaster hinting at me?”
Wang Shuang thought excitedly in his heart.
Nevertheless, his appearance remained strong and calm. He then slowly nodded and said, “Reporting to Grandmaster, I know everything in the Green Dragon sect, no matter how big or small.”
“Very good, very good.”
Master Lingkong, who was in the air nodded and smiled kindly.
Wang Shuang was delighted and immediately became more certain of his guess after seeing Master Lingkong’s reaction.
In a trance, he even saw himself sitting on the Lotus seat whilst his senior brother addressed him as the sect master.
However, just as he was getting secretly excited, Master Lingkong who was on the Lotus seat, continued to speak.
“Xiao Shuang, since you’re so familiar with the big and small matters of the sect, you can tell Victor in detail when he comes out of the Mystic Realm.”
“You’ve been in the sect for a long time and have a thorough understanding of many trivial matters. Victor just joined the sect not long ago, so I need you to give him some pointers.”
“In the future, the two of you should get along well. Victor’s cultivation talent is outstanding. Xiao Shuang, you should ask him for more advice…”
Master Lingkong stroked his beard and smiled.
On the other hand, Wang Shuang felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He stood rooted on the ground and was unable to say a word for a long time.
“This…”
“What did this mean?”
“Grandmaster, you asked me so many questions just to let me know what I already know. You want me to tell Victor everything in detail?”
“I’ve been in the sect for ten years…”
“Ten years!”
“Do you know how I’ve spent these ten years?”
“You’ve never asked me about all the hardships I’ve faced in the past, and you’ve never personally taught me the cultivation techniques of the sect.”
“I’ve followed you as the core disciple of the sect, but I’ve fought for all of this, one step at a time.”
“You’ve never given me even the slightest bit of guidance on the path of cultivation!”
“So, forget it.”
“Now, you actually want me to seek advice from a young junior who has only been in the sect for a few days, and you still want me to know everything about him?”
Wang Shuang clenched his fists tightly. Deep blue veins popped out on his neck.
“Grandmaster… disciple… I have a question in my heart. I wonder if you can answer it for me?” asked Wang Shuang as he lowered his head.
“Speak.”
“Disciple wants to know… where is the highest point that disciple can reach in the Green Dragon sect in this lifetime?”
Wang Shuang gritted his teeth whilst asking.
The sentence had a different meaning. In fact, it was equivalent to asking Master Lingkong directly:
“Grandmaster, do you think that I can become the sect master in the future?”
Speaking of which, directly asking his grandmaster such a question could be said to be great treason.
However, at that moment, the emotional Wang Shuang could no longer control his emotions and decided to directly ask the question.
After hearing his question, Master Lingkong remained silent for a long time.
The entire hall fell into a strange silence.
It was not until a long time later that Master Lingkong slowly said, “Xiao Shuang, do you know that the next sect leader will bear far more burdens than I?”
“Now that the continent is in turmoil, the spiritual energy is once again rising abnormally, and the competition between the sects is getting stronger and stronger.”
“Even I can’t see the future of the sect clearly…”
“In such a situation, the future of the sect needs a person with outstanding and shocking talent to be able to bear the heavy burden of revitalizing the sect.”
“Victor, his talent is extraordinary. Your senior sister also said that he is a peerless talent that appears once every hundred years.”
“If he can become the sect leader, it would be the sect’s good fortune…”
“As for you, Xiao Shuang…”
“Grandmaster originally thought highly of you.”
“But in this time of great strife, choosing you to become the sect leader might not necessarily be a good thing for you or the sect…,” said Master Lingkong earnestly.
His words were filled with sincerity.
However, at that moment, Wang Shuang felt that his words were extremely harsh!
“Ha!”
“What did these words mean?”
“Simply put, didn’t they say that I wasn’t talented enough, that I wasn’t capable enough, and that I wasn’t worthy of the position of sect leader?”
“Grandmaster… I understand…”
“Your choice, I’ll remember it…”
Wang Shuang’s gaze slowly turned cold.
He lowered his head and faced Master Lingkong. He cupped his hands, bowed slowly, and said softly, “Thank you, Grandmaster, for your teachings.”
He then turned around and left. He walked out of the hall without looking back.
With every step he took, the expression on his face became colder.
When he reached the entrance of the hall, he looked at the front of the sandalwood plate placed by the side of the door.
He gently took out an exquisite small bottle from his pocket and slowly opened the cork of the bottle. He then silently dropped a drop of colorless and tasteless water onto the sandalwood plate.
The moment the water drop came into contact with the sandalwood, it rose and evaporated into a stream of steam and disappeared without a trace.
Wang Shuang did not stop. He immediately put away the small bottle and strode down the Green Dragon Ridge.
At that moment, he walked with a resolute and unprecedented firmness!
…
At the same time, a few hundred miles away, in the Heavenly Narcissus Lake Mystic Realm, the Son of Water who was about to arrive at the Heavenly Narcissus Lake raised her head. She looked in the direction of the Green Dragon Ridge with a grin.
“Success.”
“Wang Shuang has been turned.”
“Master Lingkong is already in our hands.”
“Our operation can begin with a drumbeat!”
There was a hint of joy in her voice.
However, there was still an indifference on her face thousands of miles away.
Her face was still expressionless.
The Son of Fire, the Son of Thunder, and the Son of Wood who were standing beside her all smiled stiffly when they heard the news.
The Son of Fire nodded and said, “That’s good.”
“It seems that the trip to the Heaven Narcissus Lake is surprisingly smooth.”
The Son of Wood seemed to have thought of something and said, “The only variable is that Victor.”
“Son of Fire, do you think that guy will really learn our martial arts techniques with just one look?”
“Ha! It’s absolutely impossible!”
“That guy is just bragging. With his cultivation of the first layer of the foundation establishment realm, even if he really sensed our four elements spell, it would still be difficult for him to break through the spiritual energy attack of the spiritual pedestal tier!”
