Chapter 12739 He is a variable
Tianxia Shangyuan, this ancient and solemn organization, stands in the clouds. Its interior architecture is simple and elegant, yet reveals a mysterious atmosphere.

At this moment, in an ancient hall hidden deep in the bamboo forest, four distinguished deans sat around an exquisite wooden table, with different expressions on their faces, as if they were discussing a major event concerning the future fate of the Tianxiahui.

One of them was the famous Fourth Dean of the Tianxia Society. He was dressed in a black robe, with a stern face and sharp eyes, as if he could see into people's hearts.

He sat there quietly, his hands crossed over his chest, giving people a sense of authority without even being angry.

The other three are also outstanding figures in the Senate. They hold different positions as presidents and are in charge of important affairs of the Tianxiahui.

Their faces are different, some are calm and introverted, some are majestic and solemn, but without exception they all reveal the temperament of a superior.

"Fourth brother, I don't quite understand your attitude towards Ling Xiao." The second dean was the first to break the silence, with a hint of dissatisfaction and confusion in his voice.

"This kid is too flamboyant and acts recklessly. He dares to kill the disciples of the upper house and blackmail the deacons of the upper house at will. If he continues like this, our upper house will lose all its face."

As soon as the second dean finished speaking, the third dean calmly took over the conversation: "Second brother, you can't say that. Ling Xiao is indeed flamboyant, but his actions are not unreasonable."

"Zhang Luan, Red Crow, Wang Heng and others, they relied on their status as disciples of the upper house to wantonly oppress others. This behavior is really embarrassing for our Tianxia Association. The key is that these rubbish were actually killed in the counterattack. This is really embarrassing."

The Third Dean's voice revealed a sense of disdain and indifference. He continued, "Moreover, I think we should not only focus on superficial reputation and face. What is really important is the reputation and credibility of our Tianxia Association."

"If we indulge those disciples who bully the weak and commit crimes, then sooner or later the Tianxiahui will become an organization that does not live up to its name. On the contrary, if we can handle these matters fairly and allow the weak to receive the protection they deserve, then the Tianxiahui's reputation and credibility will be more solid."

The fourth dean also spoke at this moment, his voice revealing a sense of majesty and determination: "Second brother, third brother is right. We can't ignore the future of Tianxiahui because of a temporary face problem."

"Although Ling Xiao has an outspoken personality, he is also a talented and promising young man. We should give him a chance to prove himself. At the same time, we should also strengthen the management and education of the disciples in the upper house, so that they understand what true honor and dignity are."

"Third brother, what do you mean by this? Are you going to stand on Ling Xiao's side too? I understand that fourth brother is standing up for him, after all, they have some friendship between them, but why do you come and get involved?" The second dean frowned, his tone full of confusion and dissatisfaction.

The Third Dean sighed softly, shook his head, and said, "Second Brother, you misunderstood. I am not trying to defend Ling Xiao, I am just looking at this matter from a more macro perspective."

"Since its founding, the Tianxia Association has gone through many ups and downs, but has never been able to surpass the Southern Region Holy Hall. In recent years, internal corruption has become increasingly serious, and its strength has gradually declined. This decline is a problem that we have to face up to."

He paused for a moment and continued, "Although Ling Xiao is young, his arrival is like a breath of fresh air, injecting new vitality into the Tianxia Association."

"His tenacity and courage, as well as his spirit of not fearing power and daring to challenge, are exactly what we lack in Tianxia Club. I think maybe he can really bring a ray of hope to our stagnant pool."

After hearing this, the Second Dean's brows were still furrowed, but the doubt in his eyes was a little less. He was silent for a moment, then turned to the First Dean, hoping that he could give a clear instruction.

Amidst the noisy arguments, the Grand Dean finally put down the file in his hand, looked up at everyone, and said in a steady and powerful voice: "Okay, don't argue anymore. Fourth Brother, you have been defending him all the time, I guess you have your reasons, right?"

The Fourth Dean heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the Grand Dean finally speak. He quickly stepped forward and replied respectfully, "Grand Dean, the reason I defended Ling Xiao is because I learned something about the situation."

"Recently, a spiritual cultivator was unexpectedly born in our Tianxiahui cemetery. This spiritual cultivator is very powerful and is said to have been a senior of our Tianxiahui. After she appeared, she specifically found Ling Xiao and accepted him as her disciple."

After hearing this, the headmaster frowned slightly, as if he was somewhat puzzled by the matter: "Oh? Is this true? Why did this spiritual practitioner suddenly appear, and why did he choose Ling Xiao?"

The fourth dean explained: "From what I understand, this spiritual master has been living in seclusion in the cemetery, practicing for many years, and only recently appeared for some reason."

"She chose Ling Xiao because he is gifted and intelligent, and has a strong character. He is a rare talent for cultivation. The senior hopes to pass on his lifelong learning to Ling Xiao and help him become the backbone of our Tianxia Association."

After hearing this, the Grand Dean nodded and expressed his understanding: "I see. Since this spiritual master thinks so highly of Ling Xiao, we should also give him enough trust and support. However, Ling Xiao is young after all, and he still needs more training and testing."

The Fourth Dean quickly agreed: "Yes, Grand Dean. I will continue to observe Ling Xiao's performance and make sure he can live up to the expectations of the seniors and make greater contributions to our Tianxia Association."

"Have you fought with her?" The head dean suddenly asked, his voice low and serious, his brows furrowed, as if troubled by an invisible pressure. He looked at the fourth dean, his eyes revealing a bit of surprise and confusion.

The Fourth Dean took a deep breath and nodded. His voice was filled with helplessness: "Yes, I fought with her once. Her strength is unfathomable. If she really went all out, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stop even ten of her moves."

He paused and continued, "This is why I have been protecting Ling Xiao. As long as things don't develop to the point where they are out of control, we'd better avoid becoming enemies with this boy. After all, if that spiritual practitioner really stands up for him, we might be in an extremely passive situation."

"You did the right thing, Old Four." The Grand Master's voice was steady and powerful, like a towering mountain, standing tall in the wind and rain.

He nodded slightly, his eyes revealing his admiration and trust for the Fourth Dean in front of him. "Ling Xiao, this kid, although he is gifted, has a too straightforward personality, like a piece of gunpowder that may explode at any time."

"Recently, I discovered that there are some unusual movements outside the Tianxiahui. Someone is secretly spying on Ling Xiao and seems to be particularly concerned about his whereabouts. I guess this is probably his past enemies coming to visit him."
