"Alas, Master Mu has the confidence to say such things. With my ability, I would really like to have a family background to show off." Tang Bufan said with emotion, not hiding his envy of the children of aristocratic families at all.
It was for this reason that Mu Hanyan thought he was materialistic and looked down on him in the past.
But Mu Hanyan is now much more mature than before, so she no longer thinks so. Putting aside her prejudice, she feels that Tang Bufan's true nature without any pretense is actually much more lovable than that self-righteous hypocrite.
While it's said that a gentleman's virtue is unyielding even to might and uncorrupted by wealth, if you can't even afford to eat enough grass and yet you act disdainful of others' finery, aren't you just crazy? (The truth is, we're all ordinary people. If you're so poor you can't even afford to eat and yet you say money is like dirt and you don't care about having it, then you're just crazy.)
"Don't be too pessimistic. In fact, their qualifications may not be much better than yours. They just come from wealthy families, have been taking all kinds of elixirs to cleanse their meridians and marrow since childhood, and have strong people to help clear the meridians, so they are a little stronger than you. If you had their background, your current achievements would definitely not be inferior to theirs. As long as you work hard, you may not have no chance." Mu Hanyan said comfortingly.
"Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Mu, but I can't compare to others. It's a good thing to be selected, but if I really can't be selected, I will just accept my fate." In comparison, Mu Hanyan's consolation was much more reliable. Tang Bufan said gratefully, but it was obvious that he still lacked confidence.
"Do you really want to enter Longyan College?" Mu Hanyan could sense Tang Bufan's frustration and asked seriously.
"Being able to enter one of the four major academies to study and practice has been my dream since childhood, and it is also my...my elders' greatest expectation for me." A subtle gleam flashed in Tang Bufan's eyes, and he said with clenched fists.
Mu Hanyan sighed softly. As far as she knew, Tang Bufan came from a poor family, having lost both his parents when he was young. He was raised by his grandmother, who was in poor health but still lived frugally to support Tang Bufan's cultivation. All of Tang Bufan's cultivation resources were earned by the grandmother with her blood, sweat, and even her life.
Tang Bufan's biggest dream in life was not only to enter one of the four major academies, but also to achieve great success one day and live up to his grandmother's efforts. Unfortunately, in his previous life, he lost his life before he could realize his wish.
"In that case, I can think of a solution." Mu Hanyan said with an idea in mind.
"Mr. Mu, you don't have to comfort me. I'm not that fragile." Tang Bufan said with a wry smile.
Although he knew Mu Hanyan's background, he also knew that the four major schools held a supreme position. Whether in prestige or strength, they were in no way inferior to the eight great families, and in fact, even surpassed them. Even if he gave the Mu family face, he would only make an exception and admit a few of their children. How could he possibly show leniency to outsiders?
"I'm not trying to comfort you, I'm serious. I can't do anything about Longyan College, but if it's one of the other three colleges, I can guarantee that you can enroll directly without participating in the election." Mu Hanyan said.
She was talking about Zhengying College, of course.
In order to cover up the truth about the Valley of Strange Beasts, Zhengying Academy gave Mu Hanyan and others a hush money that included a place to directly enter Zhengying Academy.
However, because of Miss Zhao Si, Mu Hanyan and Zhao Sining had become sworn enemies. Pang Dezong had been dealt a heavy blow with that bamboo stick, earning him a deep hatred. Therefore, Mu Hanyan could never go to Zhengying Academy again. Of course, she didn't think much of it. In her previous life, she had cultivated to the level of Sword Saint solely on her own. In her rebirth, even if she were to attend an academy, it would be Longyan Academy, the premier of the four major academies. She would be ashamed to go to Zhengying Academy.
Anyway, Mu Hanyan had already made a fortune by getting the Cang Xuan Yunsha, so she didn't take this quota seriously. Now that she saw Tang Bufan, she remembered this matter again.
She looked down on Zhengying College, but others did. Not to mention Tang Bufan, even the children of many wealthy families in the county would be eager to get into it.
It would be a waste to waste this spot, so just give it to Tang Bufan.
Mu Hanyan had made up her mind, but things often changed beyond her expectations, and she soon realized that her plan would fail.
"Mr. Mu, are you serious?" Seeing Mu Hanyan's seriousness, Tang Bufan was actually a little tempted. But soon, he said with a gloomy expression, "But my family is not well off, I'm afraid I can't come up with any money."
He thought Mu Hanyan was probably trying to use money and material resources to get him into a certain academy. This tactic wouldn't work for Longyan Academy, but with Mu Hanyan's status and position, as long as she was willing to put in the effort, she wouldn't be completely without a chance at the other three academies. Even if she couldn't get into the inner courtyard, being an outer courtyard disciple wouldn't be a bad idea.
It’s a pity that his family is so poor that he can’t afford any money.
"No, no, as long as you want to go, you don't have to spend a penny." Mu Hanyan waved his hand and habitually revealed the arrogance and domineering attitude of the capital's number one playboy.
Who just said that they hated those young men from aristocratic families who relied on their family background to act arrogantly and self-righteously? Hua Yue and the others looked at Miss Mu's frivolous behavior and were speechless.
"Impossible, Mr. Mu, which academy are you talking about?" Tang Bufan looked at Mu Hanyan in confusion.
If he had not seen Mu Hanyan's other side at Feilai Peak and knew that this person was definitely not as bad as the rumors outside, he would almost suspect that he was just talking nonsense because of his frivolous attitude.
Not to mention him, even the other people around him looked suspicious: Who are you? You are so arrogant, aren't you afraid that the wind will blow your tongue away?
"He's talking about Zhengying College." Before Mu Hanyan could answer, someone next to her said coldly.
Accompanied by a dozen old men wearing the sword robes of Longyan College instructors, Pang Dezong and Zhao Sining walked slowly over with arrogant looks on their faces.
The person who spoke was Zhao Sining. Although time had passed, Zhao Sining's eyes were still full of hatred when he looked at Mu Hanyan.
"Zhengying Academy!" Tang Bufan exclaimed when he saw the sword robes on Zhao Sining and Pang Dezong.
If someone else had said this, he might still have some doubts, but after seeing these two people, he would no longer have any doubts.
The four major colleges of Anyun, Longyan College, Zhengying College, Anteng College, and Fenghua College, are all located in the suburbs of Beijing. Therefore, no matter which college holds an enrollment election, the other major colleges will come to watch the ceremony.
Of course, those who can represent the college to attend the ceremony have unusual identities.
