However, Li Zhengzhi thought that this was not the case when he heard that Xingyuan almost died at the hands of the devil while on a mission at the Assassin's Temple Exorcism Battlefield.

If Lin Chen and Shui Wuque had not written to him again and again to explain that Xingyuan was indeed fine and there was no trace of dream seeds left in his body by the Nightmare God Lamer, given his personality, he would definitely go to the Assassin's Temple in person to demand accountability, and the whole city would have been in chaos.

However, even with so many people guaranteeing it, Li Zhengzhi still had to confirm it himself before he could feel at ease.

Li Zhengzhi grabbed Xingyuan's wrist, and then a green mental force instantly flowed through his veins throughout his body.

After a while, Li Zhengzhi let go of his hand with a surprised look on his face and asked Xingyuan, "Are you at level six?"

"I haven't made a breakthrough yet, teacher."

Xingyuan shook his head, knowing what Li Zheng wanted to ask, so he explained first: "We just came back from a mission. Because we were in the demon clan territory, our cultivation growth was temporarily suppressed, delaying the day of breakthrough."

"..."

Li Zhengzhi didn't know what to say for a moment.

You have to know that when he broke through the sixth level, he was already in his twenties. But what about Xingyuan now?
He's not even an adult yet!

And it wasn't just Xingyuan. After Li Zhengzhi's gaze lingered on Cai'er for a moment, he quickly confirmed from the condensation of the spiritual energy emanating from her that she had also reached the bottleneck period of breaking through the sixth level...

Xingyuan, this kid, really has a great vision...

You know, when Lin Chen and Shui Wuque told him that the girl from the Assassin's Temple that Xingyuan was looking for, even if she didn't inherit the legacy of a strong man from their Assassin's Temple, her talent would not be much worse than Xingyuan's, he thought that the two were exaggerating the facts.

Now it seems that it really lives up to its reputation.

Almost in an instant, Li Zhengzhi's original idea of ​​breaking up the couple Xingyuan and Caier disappeared.

Then he hoped that Xingyuan would poach talents from the Assassin's Temple and turn this gifted girl, who might even be the contemporary Reincarnation Saint of the Assassin's Temple, into a member of their Magic Temple.

When Xingyuan heard Li Zhengzhi's topic turn to whether he and Cai'er would get married in the near future, or even whether they were preparing to go through the retirement procedures as members of the Demon Hunting Group, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

The old fox is going to dig him up completely and turn Cai'er into a member of their Magic Temple camp.

Seeing Li Zhengzhi telling Cai'er his story, and then talking about his identity as a teacher, saying that if Cai'er is sure to marry Xingyuan in the future, she can call him master from today...

"anyway……"

Xingyuan made an expression as if he suddenly remembered something, and then interrupted Li Zhengzhi and asked him, "Teacher, where is Sister Tan Wan... Senior Sister? I didn't see her at the headquarters all the way here."

Li Zhengzhi was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then he looked at Xingyuan with an expression that made it hard to tell what was going on. "The first thing you did when you came back was not to retreat and prepare for your breakthrough to the sixth level. Why did you look for her?"

Xingyuan scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard this.

I almost forgot that it was Li Zhengzhi who proposed to let Tan Wan join his demon hunting team as a magic follower.

Although he had explained the reason for his refusal very clearly, Li Zhengzhi obviously could not understand him. After all, Tan Wan was his true disciple.

If it weren't for the fact that Tan Wan's talent and character were really lacking, and if Li Zhengzhi hadn't thought he was unqualified for the job of the Master of the Magic Temple, Xing Yuan, who was suspected to be lacking in loyalty to the Magic Temple, might not have been able to take the position of candidate.

However, even if Tan Wan has no chance to become the master of the Magic Temple, he is still Li Zhengzhi's most proud disciple.

In his opinion, if he had not included Tan Wan's future plan of becoming a senior member of the alliance, Tan Wan's strength would have been enough to join the Demon Hunting Group and even get a position as a leader.

Letting her join Xingyuan's demon hunting team as a magic follower in such a humble manner, in Li Zhengzhi's opinion, he has given Xingyuan the greatest attention and it is really too unfair to Tan Wan.

Although Tan Wan seemed quite happy to be able to experience the life of a demon hunter group, the experience of serving as a magic attendant would definitely have a significant impact on her future development in the Magic Temple...

However, what neither he nor Tan Wan had expected was that after Xingyuan learned the news, not only did he not show any joy at having a trustworthy right-hand man by his side, he even wrote a long letter explaining the various disadvantages of letting Tan Wan join his demon hunting team, and finally refused.

It would have been fine if Xingyuan didn't mention the matter of Tan Wan, but as soon as he mentioned it, Li Zhengzhi got angry and his tone of voice changed from being kind just now.

Xingyuan also knew that if he refused Tan Wan to join the team, he would not only be unfaithful to her kindness, but also offend his teacher Li Zhengzhi.

"I'm here to apologize to Sister Tan Wan."

So Xingyuan chose to slide to his knees at the speed of light, explaining that the reason why he had not gone into seclusion to prepare for a breakthrough since he returned was that he came here to find Tan Wan.

"Oh?"

Li Zhengzhi's tone had visibly improved, and it was obvious that he also took Tan Wan's matter seriously.

After all, if Xingyuan had not appeared out of nowhere, he would probably have only had Tan Wan as his personal disciple in the end.

In their Temple Alliance, strong men like Li Zhengzhi usually have only one direct disciple.

Because the meaning of the existence of direct disciples is inheritance. In other words, it can even be regarded as the continuation of their lives.

No one wants to see the skills they have spent their entire lives practicing being cut off from the rest of the world, disappearing along with their body and soul in this vast world without even making a ripple.

This also applies to Alex, who is nearly 6,000 years older than them.

As for why they are unwilling to make public all the secret techniques they have mastered and the magic they have created?
Because I was afraid of being stolen.

As long as someone makes a small change based on his magic according to his own insights, then this magic becomes his own creation.

No one wants to be the one who plants trees for future generations to enjoy the shade, which is why there are so many family secrets in all the major temples.

Therefore, Tan Wan should be more like his "child" to Li Zhengzhi than a student or disciple. (End of this chapter)
