Chapter 1609: New Vice Principal
As they heard Li Luo's clear and energetic laughter, everyone was amazed by his bold words. Slaying a King was far too much for a welcoming gift; it was unimaginably grand.
Pang Qianyuan grinned and then let out a sigh. "I never thought that the One Star Hall student who had been chased down by the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf in the Umbra Cave would reach such heights. The Astral Sage College is truly fortunate to have you."
The rest couldn't help but laugh.
"Hmm..." Li Luo shook his head and smiled. He remembered what had happened that year very clearly. He had entered the Umbra Cave with a squad to cleanse the area and encountered the Grinning Demon. In order to resolve that danger, they had to break open the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf's seal, taking advantage of the wolf to devour the devil. Afterwards, Pang Qianyuan helped him seal away the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf. In the end, the Three-tailed Heavenly Wolf had repeatedly aided Li Luo and brought him out of dangerous situations. It could be said that without the favor Pang Qianyuan had bestowed upon him, his life would have been much harder.
After that, he received the Golden-Jade Onyx-Elephant Blade, the weapon Pang Qianyuan had used for many years. The sword was still accompanying him even now, although it had been refined into a completely different form from before.
Li Luo clasped his fist and said with utmost sincerity, "I’d like to thank Principal Pang and the Astral Sage College for everything you’ve done for me."
This simple sentence summarized all of his feelings towards the Astral Sage College. During House Luolan's most tumultuous period, the Astral Sage College was his and Jiang Qing'e's biggest guardian and thus, he had always regarded himself as a part of it, even representing them to earn resources and bolster their reputation.
Pang Qianyuan and Vice Principal Su Xin both sensed the sincerity in his words, and relief appeared in their eyes.
"Li Luo, we also need to thank you. If you hadn’t earned those resources in the competition between sage colleges, I'm afraid the Astral Sage College might not have lasted so long," Vice Principal Su Xin softly said.
