"So, I would ask at the outset, were you thinking of using money or power to sway or buy our academy?" Xiu Lin responded in this way.
Hearing this, Hexia fell silent for a mont, also pondering how to resolve this issue.
In her mind, this collaboration was not just about defeating Saint Yingo; she had a vague idea of using this opportunity to break down the barriers between the north and south and consolidate the power within the entire Star Domain. Only by stopping internal strife and working together could they quickly restore the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain.
Seeing Hexia deep in thought, Xiu Lin did not press further but quietly sipped her tea, allowing her to think in peace.
Ti passed quietly, and l watched both parties carefully, not daring to speak, just sitting quietly, feeling a slight anxiety for Hexia.
About a minute later, Hexia looked up again at the Great Witch opposite her.
"I admit I am still sowhat naive, lacking a mature thod to solve this problem, but now that Senior Xiu Lin has pointed it out, you must have your opinions and insights on what you expect to change."
"So, can you tell directly what I should do?"
Xiu Lin swirled the wooden cup in her hand with the tea turning a slight red, her eyebrows lifted gently. She leisurely finished the liquid and then her gaze shifted to the young girl opposite her.
"Yes, I do have so thoughts, and you are the only one who can accomplish them," her eyes shimred with a mysterious smile.
"It seems you are completely unaware of your own value, Hexia."
"Although you're not of age yet, you are a federally recognized official Songstress and were recently the champion of the winter festival competition, unmatched in the spotlight."
"Three albums, all related to the Witch culture and each marked with our academy's logo, that's my condition," Xiu Lin stretched out her finger, showing the number three.
"Our academy, or rather, the 'Witch Sect,' needs revitalization. We need soone to promote us, to draw in the masses who yearn for witch culture. If it were just plain advertising, hardly anyone would watch or care, but you are different. You are like a walking spotlight, the idol worshiped by countless young people across the Star Domains. With your influence, even if just 1% of the youth beca interested in the 'Witch Sect,' that would an millions, and I believe you have far more charm and attraction than that."
"The people at Edith Academy are so conservative and old-fashioned, thinking only of defeating Saint Yingo through strength, failing to understand that the young are the future. Whatever they like, capital will flow towards, and whatever that is will rapidly develop."
"The sequence should be, first, draw people and resources, then leap forward at a rapid pace. Not the other way around, thinking of developing first and then attracting people and resources, which is far too slow and uncertain."
After listening to Xiu Lin's demands, although Hexia did not fully agree with her, she realized that this was indeed a viable path.
"Three albums are not difficult, but if I'm to beco a figurehead for the 'Witch Sect,' I will need a few days to observe and think it over," Hexia also stated her decision, as she was not wholly familiar with the 'Witch Sect.' If there were any hidden malevolence, she wouldn't want to inadvertently do harm.
"No problem, you can take the coming week to explore the academy as you wish, with both the library and the archive open to you. If you are not convinced, you can even use the resources from Edith's side to investigate our past and history," Xiu Lin replied with undoubted confidence.
Although the 'Witch Sect' was sowhat in decline, its history had its monts of glory, widely acknowledged, with no underhanded deeds hidden, fearing no such investigation and verification.
With the decision made, the atmosphere between the two relaxed and beca more amicable. Later, Xiu Lin asked Hexia so other questions and even imparted a few simple, useful 'Witch Sect' secret techniques.
After so more conversation, they temporarily parted ways, led by an elder witch to their provisional residence within the academy.
