Dark Phoenix Prince - Chapter 128

Old Egan smiled with satisfaction as he watched Alu introduce himself. He nodded several times.

Alu’s appearance can kill women even when he acts cruel.

But when he acts so politely, he can easily arouse anyone’s affection. Especially women.

Among the senior disciples, nearly half of them were women.

When they saw such a handsome and polite youth, even women with cold hearts couldn’t help but feel emotional.

With just one introduction, they already felt a very good impression of Alu.

Of course, among those senior disciples, there were still those who looked displeased when they saw Alu.

As the saying goes; you can’t satisfy everyone’s heart.

Old Egan brought him to this place probably because the senior disciples in this place were students who were quite close to him. They will probably follow Old Egan’s words. But now, it was clear that not all of them would follow Old Egan’s words.

One of the ten disciples of the nirvana ninth layer stepped forward a few moments after Alu introduced himself.

That person was a handsome young man with a cold expression. He was well dressed and his style looked very elegant.

The young man then said. “Master Egan, I don’t understand what you mean. Soon we will have a competition for the position of the holy son. If you want to nominate someone, you can register that person.”

“Isn’t it inappropriate for someone of unknown origin to suddenly become the holy son of our shrine.”

He glanced at Alu as he spoke.

And his eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced at Alu. He was openly showing his displeasure.

Old Egan looked displeased when he heard the young man question his decision. He wanted to answer but before he could speak, Alu had already spoken.

“If senior brother wants me to enter the competition, I will definitely enter the competition. I agree with senior brother’s words. It is not appropriate for me to be a holy son just like that.” He said in a gentle tone.

The people who heard his words couldn’t help but feel pity.

Right after Alu spoke, another person finally stepped forward.

That person is also a young man. But not like the previous youth who looked neat and elegant. The youth this time looked a little messy.

Several rips were visible in his trousers.

But if we ignore his messy clothes, this young man actually has a more handsome face. And for sure, he looks very manly for a man.

Just by looking at the young man’s appearance, Alu knew that this young man was a person who had gone through many storms. He’s probably the kind of person who gets up from below with no background.

Right beside the young man, stood a beautiful woman with an elegant appearance and a calm expression.

Most of the senior disciples in that place were within a few paces. But that messy looking youth and that elegant woman stood side by side.

After he took a step forward. He stared at Alu for a moment before staring at the youth who rejected Alu. He then spoke.

“Darold, don’t you agree with master Egan’s decision?”

“I Garret decided to support this young man.” He said while looking at Alu.

“What is the purpose of our fire temple choosing a holy son? Isn’t it to seek out talents who might be able to acquire the essence of fire and inheritance so that our fire temple can rise up.”

Garret spoke aloud. He openly supports Alu.

Even Alu was confused about why he supported him just like that.

And Darold immediately showed a displeased expression the moment he saw Garret speak.

He looked at Garret, but his gaze fell several times on the woman beside Garret.

“Hmph.” He then snorted. “This is the rule of the temple.”

“Master Egan is the strongest master in our temple of fire. Are there any rules better than his words?”

Darold looked even angrier. He raised his finger to point at Garret.

“Garret, you are just a man from a lower realm. I would not be surprised if you would support people who are of no clear origin as you are.”

“…” Alu

“Ehmmm.” Old Egan finally cleared his throat as the two of them were about to fight.

He then spoke.

“This old man’s decision cannot be changed anymore. Anyway, from now on Alu is the holy son of our fire temple. As for the holy son selection competition, this old man decided to make the winner the vice of the holy son.”

“…”

The people were dumbfounded when they heard Old Egan’s words.

Holy son’s vice? Since when did their temple have a holy son’s vice.

Even though they were shocked, they now knew how important Alu’s position was.

Old Egan never even acted like that to his offspring, but he did to Alu.

“Very well, you can go now. And don’t forget, spread this old man’s decision throughout the temple.” He waved his hand.

He then looked at Garret and the woman beside him.

“And Garret and Clara, you two lead Alu to the pavilion of the holy son.”

“This old man is going to meet the other temple masters.” He says.

After saying that, he immediately flew towards the top of the mountain.

After Old Egan disappeared, the senior disciples in the place were still silent. Several people seemed to be discussing via voice transmission.

“Hmph.” Darold was the first to speak. But he just snorted.

He stared at Alu for a moment before staring at Garret with cold eyes.

“Garret, just wait. This matter is not over.” He says.

He then stared at Clara for a brief moment before flying off in a certain direction.

The other senior disciples also started leaving after Darold left.

Now, only Alu, Garret, and Clara were left in that place.

“Thank you senior brother.” Alu immediately thanked Garret.

He also paid his respects to Clara.

“Dont worry.” Garret smiled as he waved his hand.

“Darold’s younger brother is also fighting over the position of the holy son, so it’s only natural for him to be angry.”

“Apart from Darold’s younger brother, there are many other competitors. But I think you can handle them.”

“Oh.”

“Well, sooner or later they’ll come to you.”

“Now how about we go to the holy son’s pavilion first.”
