"No! This is... it's too dangerous!" Even though he knew Li Qian was right, and that this was the best solution at hand, Elder Tie still objected without hesitation.
He didn't care if it made sense or what would happen to Lingshui City. All he knew was that Li Qian was the Genius Cultivator the university had repeatedly and emphatically ordered him to protect at all costs.
Shazhou Beast Taming University was located in the remote Western Province and already had limited appeal for talented individuals. Having spent a fortune to recruit a genius like him, they couldn't afford any accidents!
"Don't worry, Elder Tie. I'm not one to go on a suicide mission," Li Qian said with a chuckle.
"And don't let the fact that I'm a high school student fool you. I'm actually very mature. The moment something feels off, I'll retreat immediately," Li Qian continued to plead his case.
Elder Tie shot him a sideways glance. "Couldn't tell. You're still wet behind the ears."
