“That’s right. I have no time to take care of him.”

Ling Xian sipped on his tea and smiled, “Therefore, I want Stone to enter your care.”

“But he is your apprentice.” Dao Wu Zi appeared confused.

“That’s not an issue.”

Ling Xian brandished his arm, “Vice Dean Wu, how do you think Stone will turn out in the future?”

“That’s not even a question. If no accidents happen, with his talent, he will easily become a powerhouse.” Wu Dao Zi looked assured.

“Then what’s there to question? Though I am now his master, if he grows up in the Library of Fortune, he will be grateful towards you.”

Ling Xian grinned. “In the future, he becomes a powerhouse, then wouldn’t the Library of Fortune gain honor?”

Hearing this, Wu Dao Zi was enlightened.

Just like Ling Xian had said, though Stone was his apprentice that cannot be denied, if the Library of Fortune accepts him, then he could still bring honor to them.

Therefore, Dao Wu Zi was wavering.

Ling Xian laughed at this. “I don’t think there’s much else to consider, Vice Dean Wu. If I have the time, I wouldn’t even be considering handing Stone to the Library of Fortune.”

“Haha, you truly wouldn’t be considering.”

Dao Wu Zi brightly laughed, “This young man has a talent that is out of the world and even could be considered heaven-defying. You, his master, is also a monster. To have one big and one small monster be connected to the Library of Fortune is, of course, a good thing.”

“Vice Dean Wu sure has some good plans in mind.” Ling Xian shook his head and smiled.

That was true. If the Library of Fortune ever gets in trouble, Stone wouldn’t just sit and do nothing. As his master, Ling Xian wouldn’t just do nothing neither.

However, Ling Xian didn’t react negatively towards him. His future path is going to be treacherous and he will not have the energy to take care of Stone. So he has to ask the Library of Fortune for this favor.

“Haha, what a great deal!”

Dao Wu Zi laughed/ “A monstrous apprentice and a monstrous master. The Library of Fortune has some good luck.”

“Then, you are saying yes?” Ling Xian asked.

“Of course. If I don’t agree then I would be the idiot.” Vice Dean Wu smiled at Stone with passion.

Ling Xian grinned. “Then, I don’t owe you a favor, you owe me one.”

“How do I owe you a favor?” Dao Wu Zi was stunned.

Ling Xian chuckled, “But it’s okay. If you don’t want to do this favor, I can leave with Stone.”

“No, definitely not.”

Dao Wu Zi’s attitude took a 360 turn. After what Ling Xian had said, he had realized what benefits admitting Stone into the Library would bring him.

Seeing this, Ling Xian smiled, “So then, don’t you owe me a favor?”

“Alright, you win.”

Dao Wu Zi bitterly grinned. Ling Xian’s visit today may not have been a plea, but he was the one making a request at first. But now, it became the Library of Fortune owing Ling Xian a favor.

One that he cannot say no to.

He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He felt hopeless.

“Alright, let’s not joke anymore. There’s nothing to say about favor or no favor.”

Ling Xian smiled. Then, his smile disappeared and he said seriously, “I just have one thing to ask, please treat Stone nicely. Don’t let him get bullied.”

“Don’t worry about that. With me here, he will not experience any hardships.” Dao Wu Zi’s expression was stern and his voice was powerful.

“Then I won’t worry.” Ling Xian softly nodded.

“Alright, ignoring his talent, the fact that he has you as a master means nobody here would dare to bully him.” Dao Wu Zi laughed.

“Another thing, don’t spoil him. I don’t want him to grow up into someone who is arrogant and doesn’t think highly of anyone,” Ling Xian said.

“Don’t worry. I will make sure he grows up a stand-up character.” Wu Dao Zi laughed confidently.

“That’s great.”

Ling Xian nodded with a grin, then looked over to Stone, “From today on, you will live here.”

“Yes, master.”

Stone nodded. On his way here, Ling Xian had already prepared him for what will happen, which is why he isn’t crying now.

His big eyes, however, contained much unwillingness. His tiny hand was also dragging onto Ling Xian’s sleeve.

“Cultivate well here. When I have time, I will visit you.” Ling Xian patted his head.

“Yes, master, I will work hard on cultivating and I will not disappoint you.” Stone nodded seriously. His handsome face was naïve but determined.

“Very well.”

Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction and said to Wu Dao Zi, “I am going to hand Stone over to you now. I hope he can grow up safely.”

“Do not worry. There’s nothing to worry about.”

Vice Dean Wu nodded, then, he suddenly remembered something and asked, “Wait, have you ever heard of the Palace of Heaven’s Favorites?”

“The Palace of Heaven’s Favorites?”

Ling Xian was a little surprised, “What’s that?”

“It’s a mysterious place where all the top powers of Tianzhou reside.”

Dao Wu Zi wiped off his smile and said in a serious tone, “This force never intercepts with anything that happens in Tianzhou, but it’s a force that is highly respectable and nobody dares to provoke it.”

“Oh?”

Ling Xian was intrigued, “A force with such special power? It doesn’t care about Tianzhou, then what’s the point of its existence?”

“The point is unclear. More like it represents something.”

Wu Dao Zi smiled, “Countless moons ago, the Palace of Heaven’s Favorites was created. Its history is longer than all the ancient families here. Legend has it that this force has a few dozen members and everyone who is in it is extremely powerful. At the very least, they are of the original level.”

“Interesting. Then I wonder what this force represents?”

Ling Xian’s interest intensified. The least powerful person is at the original level... this means that force is extraordinary.

Dao Wu Zi’s expression turned serious and he uttered out a few words.

“To handpick Heaven’s Favorites.”

Handpick Heaven’s Favorites?

Ling Xian frowned slightly, “How?”

“That’s why I’m bringing this up.”

Dao Wu Zi said in a low voice, “Every century, the Palace opens up. When that happens, all the geniuses from Tianzhou goes over. They intend to fight for the number one title.”

“The number one title may be an exaggeration. Even if they mean number one out of the younger generation, it’s still an exaggeration.” Ling Xian smiled.

“Normally, I would agree it’s an exaggeration. Though Tianzhou is known to be the most powerful continent, there is no way the other continents do not produce heaven-defying geniuses.”

Dao Wu Zi’s expression turned serious, “But this time, it is different.”
