Chapter 492: Action
"Prince, I represent the Alchemist Association, and support your decision to take action against the Wen Family!" Liu Wen immediately declared with a stern face.
Now that Xu Dong was dead, naturally, he was the one in charge of the Alchemist Association.
"Good! Chairman Liu Wen, I believe the Alchemist Association will thrive under your leadership!" Zhou Shangyun said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Liu Wen’s demeanor suddenly became more serious.
The Prince had actually called him Chairman. Clearly, the Prince had fully expressed his support for him becoming the President of the Alchemist Association. With Xu Dong dead and now with the Prince’s support, the position of the Association’s President had practically fallen into his lap.
The others also exchanged glances. However, they did not say anything, as it was already a foregone conclusion that Liu Wen would become the President of the Alchemist Association. If they spoke up now, wouldn’t they be offending Liu Wen as well? With Xu Dong dead, Liu Wen was now the strongest Pill Master within Lanqu County City, and crossing him would not bode well for their families.
"Thank you, Prince!" Liu Wen expressed his thanks excitedly.
Zhou Shangyun just smiled and waved his hand.
"I, from Red Lotus Academy, also support the Prince’s decision!" Tong Bao, the Dean of Red Lotus Academy, immediately followed with his stance.
He had little to no connection with the Wen Family. Whether Jing Yan was alive or had astounding strength, or even if Jing Yan was dead or lacked strength, he would support the Prince’s decision regardless. After all, Red Lotus Academy wasn’t going to send anyone to help the Prince eliminate the Wen Family; their support was merely a gesture on the surface.
Seeing that both Dao Yi Academy and Red Lotus Academy, as well as the Alchemist Association, had all shown their support for the Prince, Guan Yue’s face became increasingly grim. Two of the Three Major Academies had made their stance clear, and if Divine Wind Academy did not do so, they would be thoroughly alienating the Prince. Even though offending the Prince wasn’t a matter of utmost gravity for Divine Wind Academy, at the end of the day the academy was still based within the territory of Lanqu County City, and they required the Prince’s support for many things.
For example, when the Three Major Academies held exams to recruit new students, if the Prince Manor had objections to Divine Wind Academy, how many talented students could Divine Wind Academy hope to attract in the future?
