Chapter 249.1: White-Haired Elder (Part one)

In Shangcheng, under a pavilion in a park sat a white-haired elder. He was in a tunic suit. The white hair was a clear indication of his age, and he was sitting under the pavilion and drinking tea of a moderate temperature.

Beside him stood a guy in a similar tunic suit who was around 30-or-so years old. He stood humbly and respectfully beside the white-haired elder and reported, I heard that an exceptional elite appeared in this years competition.

No one, right? Those five elders can still wait, but I cannot anymore. If the Dragon Division still cant find a successor for me, then I will be a sinner, and Im afraid that the Dragon Division will really become history. Finding my next successor is my responsibility, and I need to do this to find the next protector for our nation. Otherwise, I will be ashamed to face our country.

The guards heart moved. Master, you have your eyes on Xu Cheng?

The elder shook his head. We will see. Maybe hes just a really talented genius but still cant reach the standard of becoming my successor. We will see after we meet him. Alright, for the next two days, you dont have to fo
