Chapter 265 The Taoist Priest Sweeps the Rankings Again!

Jin Hao scratched his head and chuckled.

"Brother Taoist, there's something I want to tell you."

"explain."

Jin Hao took a deep breath, his smile fading slightly and replaced by a more serious expression.

"Brother Taoist, President Qin would like to invite you to give a speech."

Li Jun paused slightly as he picked up some food.

"speech?"

Jin Hao nodded.

"Yes, it's at Haihe University."

"What President Qin means is that now that the third wave of spiritual tides has just passed, and gods have descended to earth all over the world, people are actually very uneasy."

"Although your battle in the East China Sea stabilized people's hearts, it was still just watching it through a screen. It's not as reassuring as seeing you in person."

Jin Hao lowered his voice as he spoke.

"Brother Taoist, you have no idea how crazy the online discussions about you are right now."

"Some say you are a reincarnation of a deity, some say you are a reborn ancient powerhouse, and some even say you are the guardian deity of the Great Xia Dynasty..."

There are various versions of the story, but one thing is certain...

Jin Hao looked at Li Jun and said, word by word.

Everyone wants to know, who are you?

Everyone wants to see you in person.

The private room fell silent.

The old Taoist priest put down his chopsticks and looked at Li Jun.

Little Lingxi also stopped chewing, blinked her big eyes, looked at Jin Hao, and then at Li Jun.

Li Jun remained silent for a few seconds.

Then, he put down his chopsticks, picked up his teacup, and took a small sip.

"What else did President Qin say?"

Jin Hao quickly said, "President Qin said that if you are willing, everything will be arranged by the Night Watch. You only need to show your face and say a few words."

"No need for a long speech, just a few words will suffice."

"Even a simple greeting is a great comfort to the people."

Li Jun remained silent.

He stared at the tea in the cup, at the tea leaves that had sunk to the bottom, and remained silent for a long time.

No one spoke in the private room.

Only the sounds of noise outside the window could be faintly heard coming in.

a long time.

Li Jun put down his teacup and looked at Jin Hao.

"Can."

His voice was calm.

"Let Mr. Qin arrange the time and place."

Upon hearing this, Jin Hao's eyes lit up instantly.

"real?!"

Li Jun nodded.

Jin Hao was so excited he almost jumped off his chair. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"I'll call President Qin right now!"

He took out his phone and quickly walked out of the private room.

The old Taoist priest sat beside Li Jun, looking at him with a complicated expression.

"Jun'er, if you don't want to go, you don't have to."

His voice was very soft.

"Don't force yourself."

Li Jun shook his head.

"Master, I won't force you."

He paused, a slight smile curving his lips.

"Some things just have to be done by someone."

The old Taoist priest stared at him for a long time.

Then he smiled.

"it is good."

He said.

"it is good."

……

Jin Hao made the call, and President Qin called back in less than ten minutes.

"The day after tomorrow at 9 AM, at Haihe University Stadium, do you think it's appropriate to ask the professor?"

Jin Hao walked over to Li Jun and quietly relayed President Qin's message.

Li Jun thought for a moment and nodded.

"Can."

Jin Hao quickly said into his phone, "President Qin, the Taoist priest said it's okay."

"Great! Great!" President Qin's voice was full of excitement. "I'll arrange it right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Jin Hao returned to his seat, unable to stop smiling.

"Brother Taoist, the news that you're giving a speech the day after tomorrow will definitely spread all over the internet very quickly."

Li Jun picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and said nothing.

Jin Hao didn't care. He took out his phone, opened Douyin, and casually swiped a few times.

Then, his expression changed.

Holy crap!

His eyes widened as he stared at the phone screen, his mouth agape enough to fit an egg.

Li Jun glanced at him: "What's wrong?"

Jin Hao handed over his phone.

On the screen is Douyin's trending search list.

The top trending topic was followed by a purple "Explosive" icon.

[Master Li appears at Haihe University]

Second on the trending topics list —

[Haihe University student encounters Taoist priest Li]

Third on the trending topics list —

Master Li patted me on the shoulder and told me to study hard.

Fourth on the trending searches —

Who is the little girl next to Master Li?

Fifth on the trending searches —

Master Li

The sixth to tenth trending topics were all related to Li Jun.

Li Jun looked at the trending topics and remained silent for a few seconds.

Then, he returned the phone to Jin Hao.

"normal."

Jin Hao took the phone, looked at the Taoist's calm face, and his lips twitched.

normal?

Where is this normal?

But then Jin Hao thought about it again and realized that this level of popularity seemed quite normal for the Taoist priest.

He scratched his head and then looked down at his phone for a while.

The comments section has exploded.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Master Li is back at school? I should have staked out Haihe University!"

"Don't even think about it upstairs. Haihe University is packed with people right now. All the relevant departments have been mobilized."

"I'm a student at Haihe University! I saw Master Li with my own eyes today! He even spoke to our university president!"

"Upstairs, what does Master Li look like? Is he handsome?"

"Waaaaah, I want to see Master Li too..."

"..."

Jin Hao looked at the comments, then looked up at Li Jun.

The Taoist priest was holding a teacup, slowly sipping his tea, his face expressionless.

Jin Hao suddenly remembered a phrase—"light breeze and calm clouds."

This word is the perfect description of the Taoist priest at this moment.

……

at the same time.

The news spread very quickly.

Before Li Jun and his group had even finished their dinner, the Night Watch's official account had already released an announcement.

The announcement was very simple:

[Due to popular demand, Master Li Jun, the chief advisor of the Night Watch, will give a public speech at Haihe University Stadium at 9:00 AM the day after tomorrow. The speech will be broadcast live online. Please stay tuned.]

Within a minute of the announcement being released, it was forwarded over ten million times.

The comments section exploded.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Master Li is going to give a public speech?!"

"Really? Am I dreaming?"

"Nine o'clock the day after tomorrow? Haihe University? I'll take leave tomorrow and leave!"

"Forget about going upstairs, it's too late. I'm in Haihe City, and I've already set off to reserve a spot!"

"..."

At this moment, the leaders of Haihe University are experiencing an unprecedented "overtime" session.

The principal sat in his office, his phone ringing incessantly.

"Yes, Master Li will be giving a lecture at our school at nine o'clock the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, right in the stadium."

"What? How many people are coming? This... I don't know either..."

He hung up one phone call, and another one rang.

"Yes, it was a public speech, broadcast live to the entire internet."

"Security? The Night Watch will cooperate fully."

"Okay, okay, I understand."

The principal put down his phone and rubbed his temples.

He had been a principal for over twenty years and had never encountered such a situation before.

A student returned to school to give a speech, and the event was treated with more fanfare than a visit by a head of state.

But then I realized that this person was no ordinary student.

This is the chief advisor of the Night Watch, the one who single-handedly annihilated 100,000 gods, and the Taoist priest Li who makes the entire Blue Star's extraordinary world tremble.

Thinking about it this way, the principal felt better.

No, it's not balanced.

It is an honor to share in this.

Haihe University has produced such a person; the university president must be incredibly lucky.
