Myth Beyond Heaven Chapter 247 -Choosing New Principal

Obviously, Yun Lintian had no clue about the occurrence within the Lin clan three weeks ago, as the Cloud Shadow’s current strength wasn’t enough to infiltrate the four major clans. Since Lin Zihan said this, it meant the Lin clan was oblivious to Lin Wuwei’s deeds before, and now they had gotten rid of the relationship. It could be said the Lin clan had thoroughly whitewashed themselves.

“There is such a thing? He deserves to die then.” Yun Lintian started to act as though he didn’t know about this before.

Lin Zihan did not feel anything out of place. He changed the topic. “Which hall are you planning to choose after joining the academy?” 

Yun Lintian didn’t expect Lin Zihan to ask this question, but he understood its meaning well. He shook his head. “I haven’t made a decision yet.”

“With your talent, entering the top ten rankings shouldn’t be a problem. At that time, I hope you can consider Emperor Hall.” Lin Zihan spoke straightforwardly. His intention was clear. He wanted Yun Lintian to join Emperor Hall, which had Vice-Principal Lin as a backer.

“Thank you for your invitation, Senior Lin. I still want to wait and see first.” Yun Lintian replied out of courtesy.

Lin Zihan naturally saw Yun Lintian’s perfunctory attitude, but he didn’t mind about it. He said. “My son and daughter are going to participate in this year’s assessment, too. If it’s possible, I hope you can help them a bit.”

“You are overpraising me, Senior Lin. I don’t even know whether I can take care of myself.” Yun Lintian shook his head with a smile. “However, I will definitely help them if the chance arises.”

Yun Lintian was thinking about whether he should befriend the Lin clan. It seemed he needed to investigate more.

“With this word of your, I can be at ease.” Lin Zihan laughed slightly. Who would believe someone who could fight the Saint with Origin Profound Realm wasn’t confident to pass the assessment.

“By the way, Senior Lin. I heard the current academy principal is about to step down. Do you know why?” Yun Lintian asked. 

“It’s because of the academy’s regulation.” Lin Zihan took a sip of tea and continued. “The Sky Throne Profound Academy has a regulation where the principal has to be changed after a thousand years, and Principal Tian has been in the position more than nine hundred and ninety eights years already. It’s time for him to step down.”

Yun Lintian slowly nodded his head. “Then how do they choose the new principal?”

“The ten halls have to vote for one of the two vice-principals. Whoever obtains more votes in the end, he would become the principal.” Lin Zihan put the cup down, and his facial expression turned serious. “Currently, there are at least five halls on Peng Haoye’s side. Meanwhile, Uncle Lin only has three under him. Peng Haoye only needs one more vote to win this.”

“I see. That’s why people keep saying Peng Haoye is likely to win it.” Yun Lintian said. He felt this matter was too simple. Wasn’t this similar to a regular election on Earth? He never thought the academy would use this method to find the next principal.

“They are correct. If it continues like this, Peng Haoye is undoubtedly becoming the next principal.” Lin Zihan sighed. “At that time, there would be only the Peng clan in this divine city.”

“Is there a way to prevent this?” Yun Lintian asked purely because the Peng clan was related to Poison Valley. He could not simply watch him grasp the absolute control in the academy.

“The only solution we have right now is to make a draw. When both sides have the same votes, it will decide by the battle between the halls.” Lin Zihan replied shortly.

Yun Lintian slanted his eyebrows. “Battle? How could it work?”

Lin Zihan patiently explained. “I’m not sure myself because it had never happened before. However, from what I heard, each hall will have to send ten members out, varying from Saint to Earth Profound Realm.”

Yun Lintian went silent for a moment and then nodded his head slowly. “Thank you for telling me, Senior Lin.”

Lin Zihan smiled faintly. “That’s why I truly hope you can join Emperor Hall.”

Yun Lintian gave a light smile in reply without saying anything. Afterward, the two talked for a while before Lin Zihan excused himself and left the restaurant. 

Just as Yun Lintian prepared to take a good nap, he received a message from Yun Lingwei saying Qin Yuyan and Bai Qingyi were looking for him. Without further ado, Yun Lintian invited them to the earlier VIP box.

During the past month, the relationship between Yun Lintian and the two had significantly improved. The three of them could be considered good friends now.

“We come to trouble you again, Brother Yun.” Bai Qingyi’s pleasant voice rang out from the corridor as he was gracefully walking toward Yun Lintian with a jade fan in his hand, followed by Qin Yuyan.

“What trouble? At most, I will lose some profits.” Yun Lintian chuckled and opened the door, leading them into the box. After that, he beckoned the waitress to bring the food.

“Brother Yun, I saw Lin Zihan earlier. Did he come for you?” Bai Qingyi personally poured a cup of tea for everyone as he asked.

“Why did you think like that?” Yun Lintian asked back.

Bai Qingyi curled his lips. “You don’t know? The Lin clan has been proactively seeking cooperation with our clans recently. They are determined to fight with the Peng clan now. I also heard Patriarch Lin had visited Palace Master Han. I don’t know what’s going on between them.”

“Really?” Yun Lintian was surprised slightly. However, when he thought of Lin Zihan appearing here earlier, he felt this matter was understandable. “Well, Lin Zihan indeed came here for the same reason… What is your father’s decision?”

“Do you think my father has a choice? Of course, he couldn’t wait to agree with them.” Bai Qingyi used a fork to cut a small bite of cake and stuffed it into his mouth.. His eyes curved into a crescent shape, enjoying the sweet taste.
