Ricky then shared his plan with Lloyd and the others.

It earned a positive reception from them immediately, and they all pledged their support, knowing that Ricky would far better in the inner region.

"I didn't expect you to go to the Misty South Palace so soon. But, thankfully, I'm already well-prepared for this," Lloyd commented.

With a wave of his hand, several figures suddenly showed up. They were none other than the four saints from the Five-element Sect's other branches, which included Wells and Shirley.

Ricky immediately met them halfway and greeted them warmly. "What brings you here?" he politely inquired.

"I hope you haven't forgotten that you are the holy son of the Five-element Sect, my boy," remarked Lloyd with a smile.

"Of course not! I am a disciple of the Five-element Sect first and foremost, and I will never forget that," Ricky sincerely replied.

"Very good. But now, the time has come for you to see more of the world. We have also decided to name you as the Five-element Sect's leader if that's alright with you," Lloyd declared with a serious expression.

"Ha-ha! I knew it. You are now in charge of the Five-element Sect, and from now on, you will have your own force and several saints at your disposal," the Dragon Intent Grass chimed in from Ricky's mind, sounding incredibly thrilled.

"Don't you think it's too early for me to be your leader? I'm not strong enough for that position yet," Ricky murmured with much hesitation in his voice.

Of course, when Lloyd and other saints recommended him as the holy son, it came with the expectation that he would become the Five-element Sect's leader in the future. However, he didn't expect that they would appoint him so soon.

"It doesn't matter. With your appointment as our leader, the reestablishment of our sect will finally be fulfilled. Besides, don't worry. You will still have the same freedom after you've become our leader. We will take care of the sect for you, so you can continue to do as you please," Lloyd insisted.

"Well..." Ricky murmured, his hand coming up to scratch at his neck.

"Spit it out, brat! Are you going to accept our offer or not?" Wells asked, as his patience wore thin.

"Of course! It will be my honor," Ricky finally answered, and in an instant, his hesitation was wiped away like it never existed.
