My clan is super powerful

However, upon hearing that this man from Huiyue Mountain was actually from Tianxing University, Zhang Zhi thought that if this man was decent in his dealings with others, giving him the associate professor position wouldn't be out of the question.

I wonder what this person from Huiyue Mountain has a good reputation, what his abilities are, and what he plans to use to gain support?

Just as Zhang Zhi was thinking about how he would have to trouble the school's logistics department again, Hui Yueshanren stood up and stopped Zhang Zhi from bowing, saying, "Professor Zhang Zhi, you're too kind."

"It was just a small favor back then."

After everyone sat down again, Zhang Zhi glanced at Clan Chief Liu and saw that he was looking at Liu Wanwan and Liu Xiaoxiao, and his gaze seemed to be fixed on their stomachs.

Zhang Zhi blinked, thinking to himself, "Chief Liu, isn't your gaze a bit presumptuous?"
After withdrawing his gaze and clearing his throat, he said, "I wonder what brings Lord Huiyue Shanren and Clan Chief Liu here today?"

Upon hearing Zhang Zhi's question, Huiyue Shanren pondered for a moment before replying, "Professor Zhang Zhi must have some idea of ​​the purpose of my visit."

"I'll be frank with you."

"I came here this time for that associate professor position."

"I presume that Master Xuanhai sought out Professor Zhang Zhi this afternoon because of this matter?"

Zhang Zhi nodded slightly upon hearing this: "Yes, that's right. Today, Master Xuanhai came to me and said he wanted to ask me for an associate professor position."

Upon hearing the conversation between the two, Liu Xiaoxiao and the others nearby widened their eyes in surprise.

The second batch of associate professors is currently causing a great stir in the market, with countless people discussing who will be on the list.

Therefore, whether it is Clan Chief Liu, Liu Wanwan, Liu Xiaoxiao, or Zixia, they are all extremely familiar with the current status and responsibilities of associate professors.

An associate professor can be considered the main person in charge and executor of a certain human affair that affects hundreds of billions of people.

But judging from what the man from Huiyue Mountain said, it seems that Zhang Zhi is now able to decide on the selection of an associate professor.
Although they already had some understanding of Zhang Zhi's status among the human race, everyone present felt a sense of absurdity when they heard that a half-step God Realm expert had come to ask Zhang Zhi for an associate professorship.

They already had some understanding of Zhang Zhi's status, but they never expected that his status would be so high now, high enough that a single decision could affect hundreds of billions of humans.

Clan Chief Liu finally understood why this man from Huiyue Mountain had been in such a hurry to find him today, and why he had taken him directly from Qilong Mansion to Fengjing via a teleportation array.

It turns out that He was so anxious because He learned that someone wanted to take the associate professor position from Zhang Zhi today.

As for why he knew about what happened this afternoon, it goes without saying that it was because He had been keeping an eye on Zhang Zhi.

Or rather, He had been plotting all along, thinking of getting an associate professorship from Zhang Zhi.

No wonder the people from Huiyue Mountain have been a little too enthusiastic towards the Liu family lately.

It turns out, it wasn't just because of Wanwan and Xiaoxiao, but because of the number of associate professor positions available.

Thinking of this, Chief Liu looked at Zhang Zhi with a strange gaze.

After Liu Wanwan and Liu Xiaoxiao came to their senses, they began to whisper to each other.

At this moment, Huiyue Shanren disregarded the thoughts of others present, staring intently at Zhang Zhi, and asked somewhat nervously, "Professor Zhang Zhi, do you agree?"

Zhang Zhi chuckled and shook his head, saying, "How could I possibly agree?"

"Let me tell you, this is the first time I've ever met that True Man Xuanhai."

“Even though I’m very familiar with Him, I can’t just conjure up an associate professorship for Him.”

"I am only an honorary professor; I only have the right to deliberate, not the right to participate in decision-making."

"So, while other professors can nominate associate professors based on their own needs, I don't."

"I have not participated in human affairs at all, so I have no need for an associate professor to share the workload, and therefore there is no way I could have an associate professor position."

Upon hearing Zhang Zhi's words, Huiyue Shanren's eyes flickered slightly before he slowly said, "So, Professor Zhang Zhi, this is how you replied to that Xuanhai Zhenren."

After a slight pause, Huiyue Shanren asked, "If I may be so bold as to ask, Professor Zhang Zhi, could you please tell me what Xuanhai Zhenren said?"

Zhang Zhi was taken aback when he heard this, because the question about Huiyue Mountain Man was really presumptuous. Why should he tell you what he had been talking about with others?
But then he realized that the man from Huiyue Mountain probably thought he was bargaining or waiting for a better price.

Therefore, He wanted to explain the conditions proposed by True Man Xuanhai so that He could weigh the resources He could provide and compare them with those of True Man Xuanhai.

If they can't even compare to Master Xuanhai, then there's no need to continue the discussion.

After gently shaking his head, Zhang Zhi said, "The Xuanhai True Person didn't actually say anything. He said he could help me fully promote the Qi Refiner path in the Immortal Cultivation Main World in the shortest possible time and give me back an associate professor position."

"I felt I couldn't offer an associate professor position, so I declined and left."

After hearing Zhang Zhi's words, Huiyue Shanren pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "Professor Zhang Zhi, my university, Tianxing University, is quite influential and has a good reputation within the Tianxing Domain."

"Moreover, you also come from the Celestial Star Domain, so you naturally know that the Celestial Star Domain has a very low presence in the human race's main world."

"Therefore, we believe that the Tianxing Domain needs a person with sufficient influence to step forward and integrate the entire Tianxing Domain, so that in the future, the Tianxing Domain can make its own voice heard in certain matters."

After hearing what Huiyue Mountain Man said, Zhang Zhi's gaze turned cold, and he had already removed Huiyue Mountain Man from the list of candidates in his mind.

His meaning was quite clear: if I was willing to give him the position of associate professor, he was willing to support me in becoming the person in charge of the Tianxing Domain.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhi even doubted whether he had heard correctly.

Putting aside other things, the human race's leadership has actually been intentionally suppressing this kind of regional factionalism.

People with this kind of thinking will basically all be marginalized, yet he's here talking about being the head of the Heavenly Star Domain.

Not to mention, as an honorary professor and a disciple of Confucius, a member of the highest ruling body of humanity, why would I need to be the person in charge of that star field? Even if I wanted to, why would I need your support?
Does He think that because He's an orphan from a humble background, He's so easily swayed? Is some so-called leader of the Celestial Star Domain really enough to make Him so happy?
How much do the people of Yueshan think of themselves this time?
Logically speaking, Yue Shanren is also a half-step God Realm being, a ten-thousand-year-old fox spirit, so how could he have such a strange idea?
Is He not afraid of offending Him at all?
Or are they just fearless and reckless?

Zhang Zhi glanced at the man from Huiyue Mountain with some doubt, and after a slight hesitation, shook his head and said, "Not at all, Tianxing Domain has become a household name among the human race recently."

"After all, how many people don't know that Yu Kun was discovered by Yuzhang No. 3 Middle School?"

"Furthermore, the human race now emphasizes that there is no distinction between the world, regions, or north and south; some cultivation paths are shared by fellow human beings."

"That so-called Tianxing Domain leader sounds like he emphasizes region too much, which seems to go against the current principles of people at the top."

After saying this, Zhang Zhi raised his head slightly, a glint of light in his eyes as he looked at the man from Huiyue Mountain.

After hearing Zhang Zhi's words, Huiyue Shanren chuckled dryly and said:
“Professor Zhang Zhi, you are certainly right. However, Professor Zhang Zhi, you also grew up in the Tianxing Domain, so you naturally know very well that compared to the domains surrounding Fengjing, the resources available to cultivators in the Tianxing Domain are far too few.”

"Therefore, if you stand up on behalf of the Tianxing Domain and speak out for the cultivators of the Tianxing Domain, the cultivation resources of the Tianxing Domain will definitely be much more abundant than they are now."

"At that time, everyone in the Tianxing Domain will be indebted to Professor Zhang Zhi. This is how you repay your hometown."

Zhang Zhi's smile faded, and he slowly shook his head, saying, "You are mistaken, Master Yueshan."

"I am but a nobody, and my voice carries no weight; I cannot influence how humanity allocates resources."

"Not to mention, there are many ways to give back to one's hometown. For example, I can ask for a few places for the Fengjing University test for Tianxing Domain, or I can promote the Qi Refining path in Tianxing Domain."

"Furthermore, resources between the various domains are allocated according to the contributions each domain makes to the human race."

"Yu Kun was discovered at Yuzhang No. 3 Middle School. In the near future, the human race will definitely allocate more resources to the Tianxing Domain, so there will be no need to ask for resources from other places."

It seemed that Huiyue Shanren wanted to say something more, but Zhang Zhi waved his hand and said, "I am very grateful to Mr. Huiyue Shanren for taking the time to visit me."

"However, I have many matters to attend to at the moment, and time is limited. I hope you will forgive me, Mr. Huiyue."

He then turned to Liu Wanwan and Liu Xiaoxiao beside him and said, "Wanwan and Xiaoxiao, please see Chief Liu and Lord Huiyueshan off for me."

The two women, who had been whispering to each other, immediately stood up and bowed slightly to Huiyue Shanren after hearing Zhang Zhi's words, saying, "Senior Huiyue, please."

Huiyue Shanren looked at Zhang Zhi, who was holding a teacup, with a somewhat unpleasant expression. He seemed to want to say something, but seeing the two women staring at him, he finally stood up, bowed slightly to Zhang Zhi, and turned to walk out of the hall.

After Yue Shanren had gone far away, Zixia in the hall snorted softly, "This time, Yue Shanren played a clever game."

"He just wants to use a nominal title to exchange for an associate professorship from you."

"I really don't understand what's going on in His head."

Zhang Zhi said leisurely, "What else could they be thinking? They think I'm young, inexperienced, and have never even left school, so they can easily fool me."

"After all, as the saying goes, 'Wealth and honor should not be returned to one's hometown, for it is like wearing fine clothes at night.'"

"I haven't even had a chance to properly show off since I became an associate professor in the Tianxing Region. Just give me a title, gather some people to flatter me, and that would satisfy my vanity perfectly."

"Also, I achieved early success and suddenly rose to a high position without much strength. People like me are usually eager to gain recognition, so they thought of giving me a title like 'Head of the Heavenly Star Domain,' which sounds like the number one person in the Heavenly Star Domain."

"Let me satisfy my vanity of returning home in glory, and at the same time, let me think that after becoming the person in charge, all the cultivators in the entire Tianxing Domain will recognize me."

"This will satisfy my vanity and make me feel recognized, which will definitely make me happy."

"He's a cunning old fox; he really understands people's hearts."

Zixia chuckled after hearing Zhang Zhi's words: "It's just a pity that He still couldn't see through your thoughts, so all of this was in vain."

Zhang Zhi looked at the two women who had returned and shook his head slightly, saying, "So what if we worked for nothing?"

"Even if I disagree, at most he will only lose a favor from the Liu family, and he will not lose anything else."

"But if I really do as He predicts, he could get an associate professorship for free."

"How can such a highly profitable business be considered a waste of time?"

He then chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I'm still too weak right now. Although I am indeed a member of the Professors' Alliance, even if I don't hold a high position, I am at least in a high position."

"But I didn't expect that even a casual half-step God Realm being wouldn't take me seriously."

"They are not worried at all about any bad consequences if they offend me."

At this moment, Liu Wanwan had already stepped into the hall. Her first words were: "Zhang Zhi, you don't need to pay attention to that Huiyue Mountain person."

Liu Xiaoxiao chimed in, "Our Liu family and those people from Huiyue Mountain haven't had any contact for a long time."

"The clan chief just told me that the Yue Shan people suddenly came to our door during this period."

"At the time, the clan leader thought it would be good to have another friend who was half a step into the main god realm."

"He knew that the Yue Shan people came to the Liu family because of you, but he never expected that the Yue Shan people would act in this way."

"By the way, the clan leader said that the people from Yueshan suddenly came to our door around 6 pm today, saying they had something important to discuss with you, and then they teleported here directly through the teleportation array."

“I just discussed it with Liu Wanwan and we found that it was around that time that Master Xuanhai was looking for you.”

"The people of Yueshan have been keeping an eye on your movements ever since." (End of Chapter)
