Chapter 180: A Midsummer's Rain

"If I scare you to death, where can I find my successor?"

"The problem is that it doesn't sound real to me."

"Why not?"

"Chang'an City, God-stunning Array, to pass them on to me...? Why? For what?"

"The number of Divine Talisman Masters who are eligible to preside over the God-stunning Array is small, yet they who can be absolutely trusted by the Empire are even much less. As for the three cloistered Divine Talisman Masters in the Academy, only little Huang He is a citizen of the Tang Empire, and uncle Gongsun has something wrong with his health. Yet, you are a student of the Headmaster of the Academy, and a disciple of mine, so why can't the imperial court trust you? Why can't I pass them on to you?"

"Who can agree?"

"I agree."

"Master, is it enough only with your consent?"

"His Majesty has agreed, and he told me that he promised to show you something after you formally stepped into Talisman Taoism."
