Luck taken away? It doesn't matter, I quietly become a god

Chapter 452: Jixia Academy, Grand Priest

The mountain breeze blew past, blowing Rong Shu's clothes and dispersing the afterimages of swords and sabers.

In a quiet thatched cottage not far away, a conversation that no one knew about was taking place.

"Master."

Duan Yuyan looked at the person in front of him——

The chief academic officer of the Jixia Academy.

He looks very young and handsome, like a handsome young man of eighteen or nineteen.

But those eyes would inadvertently reveal a profound look that could only be found after experiencing the vicissitudes of life.

Duan Yuyan respectfully performed the disciple's salute.

The chief priest said straight to the point: "Rong Shu is the person you have chosen."

Duan Yuyan didn't answer but asked, "Master, what do you think of her?"

The High Priest chuckled softly, "A very special child."

"That's right, she is special. If she wasn't special, I, your disciple, wouldn't have made up my mind to risk my life and property on her." Duan Yuyan's tone was nonchalant, and he didn't think his words carried any weight at all.

He was the only direct disciple of the Grand Master of the Jixia Academy and also the last disciple.

If nothing unexpected happens, Duan Yuyan's future is destined to follow in his master's footsteps and take over the position of Grand Priest.

No one in the outside world knows that when selecting a successor to the position of Grand Master of the Jixia Academy, they do not first consider the strength of the cultivation, but rather place more emphasis on the mysterious "appeal".

The High Priest may not be the strongest.

But his pattern and vision must be the most unique in the world.

Only in this way can the future development of the Jixia Academy be guaranteed and it will not become a rigid place where people stick to the old ways and follow strict rules.

Even such a Duan Yuyan would actually say "risk his life and property" on someone. If these words were to spread, it would definitely cause an uproar.

But the High Priest remained calm and said, "Have you made your decision? Once you've chosen, you can't change it."

Outsiders only know that he is the Grand Priest, who holds a high position and is the helmsman of the Jixia Academy.

However, no one knows that the great priests of all generations have inherited a special secret technique from ancient times - the art of pulling qi.

This technique does not involve attacking or conquering, nor does it practice longevity.

Its only function is to spy on the invisible destiny circulating between heaven and earth, and to identify those "sons of destiny" among the countless living beings who have great destiny and are even involved in the fate of heaven and earth.

Every high priest can only use this technique once in his life, and choose a person of great luck who is "destined" to be his protector from the vast crowd of people.

Through the "Qi Pulling Technique", the protector will establish a subtle and profound cause and effect relationship with the person who is destined to be with him.

This kind of relationship is neither that of master and servant nor that of master and apprentice.

It is closer to the wonderful "symbiosis" in nature, and is also like the mutual complementation of "emperor and wise minister" in secular dynasties.

By "assisting" those who are destined to do so, we can change the world's situation silently.

At the same time, if a person with good fortune is prosperous and makes rapid progress, he or she will be able to repay the favor of the protector, and vice versa.

Because this Qi-pulling technique is so shocking, every high priest is extremely cautious and careful in choosing a successor. They not only examine the person's character and talent, but also whether the person cares about the people and can adhere to the heart of "protecting the Dao" rather than "controlling the Dao".

This not only concerns personal luck and destiny, but is also closely related to the future luck and destiny of the entire world of cultivation.

"To guide the Qi, to protect the Dao, to observe the world, and to predict the rise and fall of the human race, this is the true mission of being the Grand Master of the Academy. I, your disciple, will always keep this in mind."

"What's more, you taught me to never regret a move."

Duan Yuyan chuckled, "Besides, I believe that with my vision, I can definitely surpass you, so don't worry."

"You kid..."

The high priest pointed at him twice with his finger in amusement.

Don't be afraid of flashing your tongue when speaking big words.

"You should know that the person I chose back then was Chen Wudao, the founder of Zhanming Mountain. He has achieved extraordinary things and is also Rong Shu's master."

Duan Yuyan shrugged. "That's perfect! As the saying goes, 'A teacher doesn't have to be better than his disciple, and a disciple doesn't have to be worse than his teacher.' Rong Shu will definitely surpass his teacher."

"Master, don't you want to see this result?"

"Isn't this the very purpose of the Jixia Academy?"

Only when the new generation pushes the old generation forward can the human race continue to inherit and stand firm, and only then will there be an endless supply of the spark of hope.

The chief priest said: "Since you have chosen your partner, it is time to resume your cultivation that has been stagnant for many years. Otherwise, I will be embarrassed to go to the Si family of Xianpeng Island and propose marriage for you in the future."

The topic changed so quickly that Duan Yuyan was shocked. "Ahem... Master! What are you talking about? What the hell is going on here?"

"Back then, I was quick-witted and arranged a marriage with the Si family. However, I have no children in my lifetime, and you are my only disciple. You are the only one who can fulfill my promise on my behalf."

Thinking back to the past, a trace of reminiscence finally flashed in the eyes of the High Priest: "The Si family is good at astronomy, geography, divination, and space formations... They just complement the path you have chosen."

"I think the young lady from the Si family who entered school with Rong Shu, whose name is Si Chenbi, is quite good..."

"Master!" Duan Yuyan couldn't help but interrupt loudly: "Do you have anything else to say? If not, I'll leave first. I pay my respects to you..."

The chief priest flicked his hand, freezing Duan Yuyan, who was trying to escape, in his place. "You can hide for a while, but can you hide forever?"

"The one who is close to the water gets the moon first. Now is a good time to get along with each other. You must seize the opportunity. Little Chenbi is the most talented young man of this generation of the Si family. It is not an exaggeration to call her the 'jewel in the palm'."

"The fact that she was allowed by the Si family to attend the Heroes' Conference and enroll in the Jixia Academy must be a signal from the Si family that they agree to let you two get to know each other first."

The more Duan Yuyan listened, the more uncomfortable he felt.

The high priest saw it all.

Only when talking about marriage would this shameless little apprentice feel a little bit of shame.

The High Priest paused, then seemed to have thought of something and tentatively asked, "You kid... don't you have someone else you love?"

Duan Yuyan glared: "How is that possible! Master! Don't slander me!"

What is a woman?

Are you happy making money with him?

The High Priest was incredulous. "How could I possibly know what young people like you are thinking? What if you've been traveling abroad in recent years and met a close female friend..."

Duan Yuyan's mouth twitched, and the more he listened, the more outrageous it seemed.

And a confidante?

He's almost become a beggar!

Who is so blind as to look down upon him?

"Master, why am I 'traveling'? Shouldn't you know better?" Duan Yuyan said while gritting his teeth.

In the eyes of outsiders, the chief academician of the Jixia Academy was a sage with an ethereal demeanor. However, no one could imagine that one day when the weather turned from sunny to cloudy, he would count with his fingers and calculate that there was an "unusual phenomenon in the sky", and then immediately drive his only beloved little disciple down the mountain.

There was no warning at all.

Duan Yuyan was still half asleep at the time when he was kicked out of the house for no apparent reason.

Miserable and penniless.

If he didn't have that little bit of half-baked fortune-telling skill to fool people, he would have really starved to death outside... Oh, it seems that he wouldn't starve to death. At that time, he had just established his foundation not long ago and had already learned fasting. He didn't even need to prepare a fasting pill. How convenient it was.

His master is so considerate.

I also helped him take this aspect into consideration.

The high priest looked away.

The chief priest pretended not to hear and continued to speak to himself, "Although the marriage between this old man and the Si family has been arranged long ago, I am not such a narrow-minded person. Disciple, if you have someone in your heart, the marriage with the Si family will be cancelled."

"However, I personally think that little Chenbi is quiet and reserved, and is devoted to the great Dao. She is completely different from her father's personality, so she may not be interested in you."

The high priest shook his head and sighed, looking very sad.

Sad...bullshit!

How could Duan Yuyan not know his master's "morality"?

Like master, like disciple.

Duan Yuyan felt that his master, a lonely man, was just laughing at him!

……

After a "deep and friendly" exchange with his master, Duan Yuyan was finally allowed to leave.

As soon as I came out, I took a deep breath of the cool mountain breeze.

Duan Yuyan finally relaxed.

Urging marriage or something...

It’s really scary.

The old man was a lonely man, he had an immortal look and didn't care about love, but he didn't know where he got the "bad taste" from, he had to laugh at his poor apprentice.

Turning a corner, Duan Yuyan met Rong Shu who came out with his face covered.

"Rong Shu?"

Rong Shu, who was covering his face, froze in expression, then put his hands down as if nothing had happened.

Well……

She has already taken the healing pills.

Xiao Duanzi probably can't tell that he just got beaten up, right?
