Upon hearing this, Jin Zijin fell silent for a moment before saying, "The State Preceptor position can be relinquished, if he wants to take a wife and continue the family line, he only needs to hand over the position of the State Preceptor immediately."
"And then what?" asked Gu Youyou.
"Before that, Tianzong must cultivate the next State Preceptor."
Gu Youyou gave a bitter smile, how was any of this as easy as he made it sound? Jin Zijin must be the one Tianzong was painstakingly grooming to be the State Preceptor. If he were to back out, it would undoubtedly catch Tianzong off guard.
And Xuanzong, they indeed have a legitimate heir to the State Preceptor.
How could someone hastily trained by Tianzong compare with someone meticulously prepared by others for many years?
Moreover... even if Yue Rujing takes over, it's not guaranteed to succeed, so whichever way you look at it, it's a loss.
