Chapter 1429: Newest Mentor
"Mentor Chi Chan, are you also here for the Celestial Mirror Pagoda?" Li Luo asked with a grin after the initial exchange of greetings.
Mentor Chi Chan nodded. "The Astral Sage College has a serious shortage of manpower, but Vice Principal Su Xin understands the importance of the Celestial Mirror Pagoda. She thus chose the three of us to come here. Although our lineup seems a little shabby, it is the best the Astral Sage College can produce, considering what we have to spare. With the three of us gone, the other mentors and students will be subject to much more pressure and perhaps even more will be injured."
Her eyes dimmed slightly. The situation of the Astral Sage College wasn't optimistic, and they had engaged in countless battles against the Others throughout the years. Many mentors had perished because of this, and their hearts and bodies were weary. Thus, every single Duke was an important cornerstone of the college's power.
Three of the main mentors had suddenly been taken out of the balance, so the school had weakened significantly as a result.
"Vice Principal Su Xin's decision is the right one. Mentor Chi Chan, if you can obtain suitable opportunities in the Celestial Mirror Pagoda, your strength can rise, and you can better alleviate the pressure on the college when you return," Li Luo said in an attempt to console her. He understood Vice Principal Su Xin's decision. In order to improve the college's strength in the long run, they had to take advantage of any opportunity that came their way.
Mentor Chi Chan continued, "Furthermore, Vice Principal Su Xin asked me to express her thanks to you. Because of your actions, we were able to return from Heavenly Origin Ancient College with a large amount of cultivation resources. This helped relieve some of the pressure, and the many students who received the resources are very grateful to you."
"Ah, I'm also a student of the Astral Sage College, so I would never shirk from my duty as a student. After all, House Luolan has been in the Xia Kingdom for many years and has benefited from the college's care. This is something I'll have to repay." Li Luo smiled. At this point, he asked, "How is the situation of the Other Disaster in the Xia Kingdom? Particularly, where Principal Pang is..."
When the Xia Kingdom experienced an upheaval, Principal Pang had single-handedly sealed two Other Kings, dragging them down with him. Otherwise, they would have descended upon the Xia Kingdom, and with its limited strength, it could very well have been completely reduced to a barren wasteland. The Others would wreak havoc, and the consequences would be horrific.
That said, the seal would not last forever. It would weaken over the years and could already be at its limit. Once the seal wore off, the two Other Kings would appear and the Xia Kingdom would encounter a catastrophe.
