Bai Xu rolled his eyes at Lan Moyan:

"Have you forgotten that as the temporary lord of the wilderness, you have the authority to select those with the potential to become extraordinary individuals as reserves?"

Lan Moyan looked at Bai Xu and pointed to the place where Ye Ran had left:

"Him, a late-stage Gold Saint, and you can see that far ahead???"

If you say that someone who reaches the late-stage Diamond realm will inevitably become a transcendent being, then Lan Moyan has nothing to say.

But Ye Ran is only at the late stage of the Gold Realm, and you, Bai Xu, can already see the Transcendent Realm?

Bai Xu pondered for a moment, shook his head, and smiled at Lan Moyan, saying:

“You know, strength has never been my primary criterion for selecting people. This kid Ye Ran... I just took a liking to him. I've already made my choice, so at worst you can report me now and you guys can replace this old man as the acting Lord of the Wasteland.”

Lan Moyan looked at Bai Xu, then glanced at the spot where Ye Ran had left.

He asked, "Aren't you afraid the Eighth Floor Master will cause you trouble?"

Bai Xu listened to Lan Moyan's words and narrowed his eyes: "When 'Wilderness' was established, everyone swore an oath using a soul contract. I did not break the contract, so what's wrong with him looking for me?"

Bai Xu turned his head and looked at Lan Moyan:

"What? Do you have any other questions?"

Lan Moyan smiled upon hearing Bai Xu's question.

As stunning as a snow lotus in bloom: "That's all."

Then, Lan Moyan held out her hand: "Student ID and documents."

Bai Xu glared at Lan Moyan, annoyed.

"What, the Desolate Tower suddenly doesn't matter anymore??"

Lan Moyan looked at Bai Xu: "Important."

"Then why did you suddenly stop worrying about it?"

Lan Moyan looked at Bai Xu with a completely bewildered expression:

"She'll be mine soon, why should I hesitate?"

Listening to Lan Moyan's words,

Bai Xu handed the student card to Lan Moyan with a disgruntled expression:

"Get out, get out, get out now, don't let me see you."

After Lan Moyan received her marriage certificate, she ignored the old man who kept complaining.

With a single, sweeping wave of his hand, he cleaved through space.

He disappeared from Bai Xu's office.

After Lan Moyan left,

Bai Xu fell into deep thought once again.

"For me, and for them..."

"You brat, you're targeting me...!"

Bai Xu muttered to himself, repeating Ye Ran's words.

Although Ye Ran's words were not directly directed at him,

But how could Bai Xu, who had been around for almost a hundred years, not understand Ye Ran's subtext?

What do you mean by "on their behalf"? What kind of flimsy explanation is this?

It's simply that they don't approve of their own actions...

What Bai Xu wanted to protect was the stability and harmony of the entire country.

What Ye Ran wants to redeem is anyone in the world that she can see and touch.

Neither of them is wrong.

However, there will ultimately be cognitive conflicts...

"This kid hasn't grown up yet." Bai Xu thought about Ye Ran's words as he leaned back in his chair, trying to recall.

In a daze,

Bai Xu also recalled his past self.

When was it that I was once just like Ye Ran today?

Enjoying life and seeking revenge

Regardless of the consequences,

A passionate act of fighting for peace and stability.

That time and that moment are just like this moment.

But now?

For the sake of the bigger picture, for the sake of balance, for the sake of harmony,

For the sake of the entire Dragon Kingdom,

It seems like I haven't considered individual feelings for a long time...

"Heh." Bai Xu shook his head self-deprecatingly. "I am indeed getting old, my blood has turned cold..."

Bai Xu mocked himself.

He stared at the office door, muttering to himself:

"Just like young students, full of vigor and vitality..."

Bai Xu touched a book on his desk.

His thoughts were racing.

His eyes were filled with hope and relief.

This book is a miscellaneous book.

The pages were old and yellowed, each one so soft it seemed they would crumble at the slightest turn.

And the title of this book,

It is called,

The Stars of Humanity.........
