Chapter 138 - 1: Taking the Throne
"Master Lin has arrived. Rumor has it that Master Lin is very young, having joined the academy merely half a year ago, yet seeing him in person, it truly feels like our years were lived in vain, like dogs."
Lin Yuan stepped into the Beiqing Hall’s main hall, and two or three dozen Pill Masters opened their eyes wide, hearts involuntarily shaken.
"As the rumors say, so young, truly a prodigy among youths." Du Rulun saw Lin Yuan with rosy lips and white teeth, elegant and handsome, undeniably dashing, and couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.
"May I ask if you are Master Lin Yuan?" Du Rulun stepped forward with cupped hands and said in a deep voice, "I am Du Rulun, greetings, Master."
"Yue Jiang’s mentor, Du Rulun?"
Lin Yuan noted the elegance of the other’s demeanor, but recalling Yue Jiang’s difficulty the previous night, couldn’t help but feel a lack of goodwill.
"In the presence of Fellow Pill Master Du, I dare not call myself a master."
Lin Yuan humbly spoke a few words, then said with a faint smile, "Yesterday, by elder’s arrangement, I was asked to come to preside over Beiqing Hall. What say Hall Master Du?"
Should Du Rulun refuse to relinquish his authority, then today, this person would be removed from Beiqing Hall. He didn’t want someone under him opposing him, disturbing his peace.
"Naturally."
Upon hearing this, Du Rulun immediately reached into his robe and took out the Hall Master’s token of Beiqing Hall.
