Long Congyuan had previously wanted to take Mu Chengxuan as his disciple and sought his opinion. One reason was that Mu Chengxuan's performance was indeed too outstanding, and the other was that Long Congyuan was far superior to other mentors, so he just wanted to pretend to be humble and talented.
Other mentors don't have such concerns, and there is no need to ask for their opinions.
After the younger mentor finished speaking, no one else spoke.
Everyone waited patiently, but after waiting for a long time, no one spoke.
Looking at Mu Hanyan, and then looking at the group of instructors, people's eyes became strange.
That's not possible. Even Tang Bufan, who was the weakest and came from the most humble background, was favored by some instructors, but Mu Hanyan was not favored by any instructor. Although her performance just now was indeed very ordinary, those common people's children who had performed equally mediocrely before were also favored by their instructors. How could no one favor Mu Hanyan?
After all, they are members of the Mu family. Aren’t these mentors really disrespecting the Mu family?
Teacher Tian and Teacher Yu both sneered, while the other teachers looked at each other and smiled bitterly. If the person in the field was not Mu Hanyan, but any other member of the Mu family, they would never offend the Mu family like this.
But there was no way. They had just seen the methods of this playboy Mu and really didn't want to get themselves into trouble.
As soon as he arrived, he offended Pang Dezong and Zhao Sining, causing the reputation of Zhengying Academy to be ruined. Then, he bullied Qiu Pinghe of the Qiu family. Later, Qiu Ping'an wanted to avenge his brother, but he didn't gain any advantage. He thought that this matter would be temporarily dead, but he didn't expect that Mu Dawanku's revenge would not last overnight. In less than a day, he had dealt with Qiu Ping'an so that his cultivation was completely destroyed, and pushed the huge Qiu family into a desperate situation.
Although Zhao Sining was the one who provoked the previous incident and the Qiu family brought it upon themselves, they still witnessed Mu Hanyan's thunderous revenge.
If they accepted him as their disciple, they didn't know how much trouble it would cause and how many people would be offended. They didn't want to be implicated by him.
"Master Long, you haven't decided yet who will accept Mu Hanyan as your disciple?" Gong Hongru asked.
"Well... this boy is extremely talented. We have discussed it for a long time and feel that with our strength, we are not yet capable of accepting him as a disciple." Long Congyuan said carefully.
No matter what, Mu Hanyan is a member of the Mu family, so we should try our best to give her some face.
But unfortunately, his good intentions were doomed to fail.
As soon as Long Congyuan finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter in the square. Mu Hanyan's performance just now was not even as good as Tang Bufan's. To say that he was gifted was more like sarcasm than compliment.
Long Congyuan's face turned red, and he felt that what he said was not very smart. He obviously wanted to save some face for the Mu family, but he accidentally slapped the Mu family in the face.
"Besides, Young Master Mu has long been famous in the capital. With our reputation, we are really not qualified to be his master." Teacher Yu followed up.
If Long Congyuan's words were unintentional, then he was being sarcastic. Mu Hanyan had known Qiu Ping'an was cheating, but she hadn't said anything earlier, waiting until he and Instructor Tian were arguing fiercely before revealing the truth, causing them to lose face. He hated Mu Hanyan to death.
After hearing what Yu said, the laughter around them grew even louder. Mu Hanyan was indeed famous, but the title of the capital's most dissolute playboy was clearly not a good reputation. When Yu said this, he was clearly mocking Mu Hanyan.
At this moment, everyone understood that none of the instructors present were willing to accept Mu Hanyan as their disciple.
"If I remember correctly, there has never been such a precedent in Longyan College's admissions election. Not a single instructor is willing to accept him."
"Yes, as long as one can pass the assessment, he or she has some talent and strength. No matter how spoiled he or she is, there will be a mentor who will take a fancy to him or her. I have never seen someone as unpopular as Mu Hanyan."
"This Mu Hanyan is worthy of being recorded in history, hahahaha." A burst of ridicule was heard in the square.
"If you are all unwilling to accept him as your disciple, then it will be a bit difficult." Gong Hongru stroked his long beard, seeming to be in a dilemma.
"What's so difficult about this? Our Longyan Academy doesn't stipulate that one must have a mentor to lead the practice. I believe that with Mr. Mu's talent, he will still have a bright future even without us." Teacher Yu continued to sneer.
After hearing his words, everyone looked at Mu Hanyan with some pity.
Although every new student is assigned a mentor upon enrollment, this is merely a convention; Longyan College itself does not have such a rule. Therefore, what Instructor Yu said was correct; even if no mentor selected her, Mu Hanyan could still enter Longyan College.
However, the path of cultivation is bumpy and rugged. Without an excellent mentor to guide, there is no telling how many detours one will have to take, and the resources for cultivation will definitely be far inferior to others. If Mu Hanyan really enters Longyan College like this, what future will she have?
Hearing the sarcasm on Teacher Yu's face and the pity in the eyes of the people around him, Hua Yue and others all looked gloomy.
"It turns out that it is not necessary to become a disciple to enter Longyan College. Then I won't do it. Teacher Yu, thank you for your kindness." Zirong sneered and said to the teacher.
Teacher Yu's words were clearly meant to humiliate Mu Hanyan, so how could he possibly accept him as his master?
"I won't worship you either." Hua Yue said coldly.
"I have no interest in becoming your disciple. You want to take me in as your disciple without even asking for my opinion. You are so disrespectful. I'm sorry, but I won't become your disciple either." Jiang Yuzhe said immediately afterwards, looking very disdainful.
"I won't bow either." Tang Bufan said without any hesitation, chest puffed out.
"And me." Ling Baobao certainly wouldn't be left behind.
The square, which had finally quieted down, was in uproar again.
In all the years of history of Longyan College, this is the first time I have heard of someone daring to reject the kindness of a tutor. Don’t they know what this means to them? Without a tutor, what good will it do them even if they enter Longyan College?
What's more, these instructors have already spoken, and they refused without hesitation. This is clearly a provocation and a slap in the face of those instructors. Even if they enter Longyan College, they are doomed to have difficulty making any progress.
Ruined, their future was completely ruined! Everyone looked at them with pity, sympathy, and regret.
"Do you know what you are doing? You are clearly destroying your own future! Come and apologize to the instructors. Considering your youth and ignorance, I believe the instructors will not bother with you." Long Congyuan slammed the chair and shouted angrily.
