Chapter 366 Temporarily Appointing Lin Mo as the Quasi-Holy Son? Wei Huang's Compromise! (Happy Lantern Festival!)
Looking at Huang Feiyan's stern and cold expression, which did not seem like she was joking, Wei Huang and Lin Mo both knew clearly that this hot-tempered person was serious this time!
For a moment, Wei Huang shrank his neck, not daring to respond at all.
Meanwhile, Lin Mo stood to the side, eyes fixed on his nose and nose on his heart, not daring to even breathe loudly.
Truth be told, at this point, this so-called position of Saint was not that important to him anymore.
After all, the reason he had plotted for this position was merely to obtain that supreme authority, so he could handle matters in the Holy Land more conveniently and mobilize resources more easily.
But now...
He had already taken this big shot, Huang Feiyan, as his Revered Master, and he held the Fentian Token; he was basically a figure who could walk sideways in this Holy Land, having whatever he wanted.
This status was far superior to any Saint!
So, whether or not he had this Saint position was actually not that critical.
However...
If Huang Feiyan could really use her ability to help him secure this position, he certainly wouldn't refuse.
Who would complain about having too high a status?
Having more skills doesn't weigh one down, and having more titles doesn't pressure anyone either!
Of course, the position of Holy Lord was out of the question.
That thing was too hot to handle!
With his current strength, even if Huang Feiyan really forced him into that position, he truly didn't have the confidence to sit firmly.
He feared that before his butt was even warm, he would be collectively sidelined by a group of unconvinced old monsters.
"Ah hahaha..."
"Senior Sister is really good at joking..."
Wei Huang's handsome face stiffened for a long time before he bit the bullet, forced an awkward smile, and tried to laugh it off to muddle through.
However.
Huang Feiyan's expression not only did not soften in the slightest, but instead became a few degrees colder.
Her eyes, burning with rage, stared straight at Wei Huang, her voice eerie:
"Do you really think..."
"I am joking with you?"
Rumble!!!
With these words, the entire Burning Heaven Small World seemed to respond to her will, actually beginning to shake violently!
The Spiritual Qi clouds in the sky churned crazily, and an indescribable, terrifying might gradually permeated the world, as if the heavens would collapse and the earth would split in the next second!
"Damn..."
"Revered Master is playing for real!"
"Does it have to be this scary?"
Feeling this horrifying, apocalyptic aura that made one's heart jump, Lin Mo's heart pounded, and cold sweat broke out!
If this continued to develop...
Would he have the 'honor' of witnessing the magnificent Blazing Sun Holy Master being slapped into the ground by his own Revered Master, unable to be dug out?
No, no!
This scene was too stimulating; he absolutely couldn't watch it!
If he really saw the Holy Lord's embarrassing state, would he be targeted by this Junior Martial Uncle in the future and given a hard time for no reason?
Then how would he live his life in the Holy Land?
Thinking of this, Lin Mo made a prompt decision.
He took a deep breath, bit the bullet, and stepped forward, bowing to both of them:
"Well..."
"Revered Master, Junior Martial Uncle..."
"I'd like to wander around this Small World to familiarize myself with the environment and broaden my horizons."
"I won't disturb you two seniors from reminiscing."
"Please allow me to take my leave for now!"
Hearing this, Huang Feiyan, who was on the verge of erupting, was slightly stunned and glanced at Lin Mo with some surprise.
But she didn't say much, just nodded faintly, tacitly consenting.
"Phew..."
Seeing his Revered Master nod, Lin Mo felt as if he had been granted an amnesty.
Without another word, he greased the soles of his feet, his figure turned into a stream of light, and he "whooshed" away!
The speed was so fast that he used all his strength, fearing that if he was a second too slow, he would be caught in the crossfire!
"Tsk..."
"This kid is really shrewd..."
Watching Lin Mo's back, which was faster than a rabbit, Wei Huang's face became even more helpless.
With even his only shield gone, he really had to face Senior Sister's rage alone now.
He knew in his heart.
If he didn't give Senior Sister a satisfactory answer today,
His position as Holy Lord... might really come to an end!
"Senior Sister..."
Wei Huang looked bitter, his tone full of difficulty.
"It's not that I'm unwilling to give my Junior Nephew the position of Saint."
"Logically speaking, with his Taiyin Sacred Body, which is rare in all ages, being a Saint is absolutely more than enough, and one could even say it is a blessing for the Holy Land."
"But you also know..."
Wei Huang sighed.
"The position of Saint in the Yanyang Holy Land ultimately involves the solar origin Legacy left by the Old Ancestor."
"That is a major matter concerning the Luck of the Holy Land!"
"Even if I am the Holy Lord, this is not a matter I can decide on my own..."
Wei Huang tried to reason with her, hoping Senior Sister would understand his difficulties.
Unfortunately.
He secretly glanced at Huang Feiyan's expression and found that she was still indifferent, showing no signs of being moved.
Clearly, this set of excuses didn't work.
"Phew..."
"Fine!"
Seeing he couldn't escape it, Wei Huang gritted his teeth, a look of determination appearing on his face.
"Senior Sister, since you have spoken, then Junior Brother will go all out!"
"I can first use my Holy Lord prerogative to temporarily appoint Junior Nephew as—Prospective Saint!"
"This status is second only to the Saint and is above all Sequences!"
"Once he passes the Saint assessment in the future, he can be legitimately crowned as the true Saint!"
Saying this, Wei Huang looked at Huang Feiyan with sincerity and helplessness.
"Senior Sister..."
"This is the greatest concession Junior Brother can make."
"If you are still not satisfied..."
"Then I have no other choice but to truly abdicate and let someone more capable take over..."
This was indeed his bottom line.
Going any further would mean breaking the ancestors' rules, and he wouldn't need to be Holy Lord anymore.
"Prospective Saint?"
Hearing this, Huang Feiyan's beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, staring at Wei Huang for a long time.
Just as Wei Huang felt his heart go numb from being watched, she suddenly snorted.
"Hmph, you certainly know how to compromise."
"Forget it, considering you are indeed in a difficult position, this plan... is not unacceptable."
Wei Huang was overjoyed and was about to heave a sigh of relief.
"However!"
Huang Feiyan's tone suddenly changed, and a flash of brilliance crossed her eyes.
"If you want me to agree, there must be an additional condition!"
"Huh?"
"Senior Sister, please speak!"
Wei Huang felt invigorated upon hearing this; as long as Senior Sister was willing to budge, it didn't matter if it was one condition or ten, they could be negotiated!
Wasn't the turning point right here?
"Very simple."
Huang Feiyan looked at him, her tone calm, but she uttered a shocking statement:
"Help me persuade those old guys who are still in deep seclusion."
"Let them agree... to let me have full authority over that solar origin!"
"What?!"
Hearing this, Wei Huang, who had been expectant and thought there was a turning point, almost went black in his vision and fainted on the spot!
Good heavens!
He knew Senior Sister wasn't that kind enough to understand his plight!
So this was where she was waiting for him?!
The solar origin was the lifeblood of the Holy Land!
It had always been jointly managed by the successive Holy Lords and the Grand Elder group!
Now Senior Sister actually wanted to control it alone?
This was ten thousand times harder to deal with than directly appointing Lin Mo as Saint!
"Senior Sister... this... this difficulty..."
Wei Huang had cold sweat streaming down his forehead, wanting to refuse.
"Don't tell me you can't even handle this!"
Looking at Wei Huang's desperate expression, Huang Feiyan's phoenix eyes widened, her tone icy.
"If you can't even handle this little thing, what use are you?"
"..."
Wei Huang was choked so hard he couldn't say a word.
He was silent for a moment, looking at Huang Feiyan's determined expression, and finally took a deep breath, his expression becoming unprecedentedly solemn.
"Senior Sister..."
"The solar origin is the supreme treasure of the Holy Land and is of great importance."
"Even if I am willing to help you be this lobbyist..."
"But you must give me a reason, right?"
Wei Huang looked straight into Huang Feiyan's eyes and asked in a deep voice:
"Can you tell Junior Brother..."
"Why you suddenly want to control it..."
"What exactly do you want to do with it?"
Facing Wei Huang's questioning, Huang Feiyan did not avoid it at all.
She turned around, her gaze cast toward the distant horizon, and a trace of indescribable complexity and sadness appeared in those beautiful eyes.
"My purpose is very simple."
"To save someone!"
"Save someone?" Wei Huang was stunned, "Save whom?"
Who else in this world was worth using the Holy Land's solar origin to save?
Huang Feiyan turned around, her tone becoming deep and mysterious.
"To save..."
"Junior Sister!"
Boom!!!
With these words.
Wei Huang was struck by lightning, completely stunned on the spot!
