23. Their Request

Inside the academy, there was a hall where the Elder and the Dean gather, that place was known as the Hall of Ascendant Souls.

In that place, there is a platform with three layers. The top layer is reserved for the Dean, the Second and Middle Layer is reserved for the two Grand Elder Teachers, and the bottom layers are reserved for the Seven Elder Teachers.

Everyone rarely gathers as most of them have their own responsibilities, but in the face of the Heavenly Order Medallion that had been brought to the academy gates, everyone gathered to see who brought it.

Standing in the midst of the crescent platform were Teacher Bi Meng, and Yuan Xiurong who tightly held onto Yuan Long's hand.

The Dean looked down on the three, Bi Meng saw this and lowered his head and so did the other two.

The Dean did not have an oppressive air to him like most people at the top. His beard was bushy, like the fabled Santa Claus of earth. He wore a pure white robe and was rather round like a dumpling.

"In the academy, there are four of these medallions. Two of them remained here and the other two were given to two people who had done the academy a huge favor. Can you let me see the medallion that you have brought?"

Yuan Long brought out the medallion and a mysterious force carried the medallion away from his palms. Like before, the only thing he can do is wait for the verdict.

The Dean observed the medallion and the two Grand Elders waited for the final answer. But then, something occurred that caught everyone off guard.

The Dean broke to tears as his hand trembled.

"This is…the medallion I gave to Benefactor Shi Feng!"

"What did you just say?"

"Benefactor Shi Feng!? Is that true!?"

The Dean was trembling and the two Grand Elders quickly turned their heads so they can see if the words of their Dean were true. They snatched the medallion away from the Dean's hands and quickly scanned the medallion.

After confirming that it was indeed the medallion, the three turned to Yuan Long and Yuan Xiurong.

"Benefactor Shi Feng, where is he!? Is he well?"

The Dean questioned with force behind his tone.

"He died three months ago."

"That's impossible! Benefactor Shi Feng is a Sovereign! No one can kill him just like that!"

"That's the truth! Do you think his children will joke about such things!? He died of poison that had been haunting him for centuries! He's dead and that's the truth~!"

"Enough…please, brother Yuan Long…please."

Yuan Long felt Yuan Xiurong's trembling hands thus he held it as tightly as he could. Yuan Long knows the pain of having one's love one die. He had experienced it firsthand.

Seeing their reaction made the Dean calm down. He looked at Yuan Xiurong trembling and at the steadfast expression of Yuan Long.

"So, what is your wish from the Academy?"

With the Heavenly Order Medallion in this child's hands, the first thing the Dean should worry about was the fact that he needed to answer the request of the two. Thus, the Dean asked them this first.

Hearing that simple question had Yuan Long giving a simple answer, "Turn me my sister to your Prime Students. Give us everything we need to become the strongest and turn us into someone who can protect ourselves."

How do you survive with everything is going south? Go to the one on the top. Claw at them and don't ever let go, with Yuan Long and Yuan Xiurong at the end of their ropes, in a situation where they were too weak to protect themselves from the harshness of the world there was one thing they could do and this was it, hug the golden thighs of the strong and one day replace them.

The Dean looked at Yuan Long's fierce eyes and then at the Medallion. He smiled at the two of them as he nodded his head, "If that is all…then I shall create a Sovereign out of you."
