The entire hall was silent . . .
This appointment from Skymaple came too suddenly. Nobody was mentally prepared, including the sect master, Luo Qingfeng, who was beside him.
As the sect's grand elder, Skymaple even had the authority to appoint or dismiss the sect master; let alone a vice hall head.
Ye Yuan did not have any mental preparation either and was stunned by this nomination for a long while.
The silence lasted for roughly 10 breaths of time when finally, somebody voiced out to object.
The first person to oppose it was Ling Potian. "Martial Uncle, Ye Yuan is just a newcomer disciple. Although he has some talent in the path of alchemy, isn't it rather rash to make him the vice hall head?"
"En? Your meaning is that I'm old and worthless and can't discern people clearly?" Skymaple said with a frown.
These words were rather serious. He was trying to suppress these opposing voices directly.
