"This Jiang Qiling, I thought she had some brains, but it seems that she is just so-so. Does she think that we can't survive in Longyan College without anyone's help?" Jiang Yuzhe said disdainfully.
When such a situation occurs, they can guess who is behind it without having to guess.
However, the former playboy Mu was not well-liked either in Black Stone City or in the capital. He had seen this kind of situation many times and didn't take it to heart at all.
"Don't underestimate her. If you can't interact with other disciples in Longyan College, it won't be impossible for you to move forward, but it will be detrimental to your future practice." Tan Yu said.
"Oh, what do you mean?" Jiang Yuzhe asked in confusion.
"It's a long story, but you will know it soon." Tan Yu replied.
Indeed, Mu Hanyan and others soon found out that Jiang Qiling's little trick didn't seem to be of much use, but sometimes it was really disgusting.
For example, now they don’t know where to report, and they don’t even know where their master Gong Hongru is. They want to find someone to ask, but everyone avoids them when they see them. Who dares to pay attention to them?
"By the way, why are you still following us?" Mu Hanyan asked Tan Yu curiously.
Everyone was afraid of having anything to do with them, but Tan Yu kept following behind them and looked very excited.
"Actually, I don't want to follow you, but if I don't follow you, do you know how to go to Jian Valley?" Tan Yu said with a hearty smile, seeming a little reluctant, but there was no helplessness on his face.
"Asking Sword Valley?" Mu Hanyan looked at Tan Yu in confusion.
"Wenjian Valley is where Lord Gong lives, and it will also be your future residence," said Tan Yu.
"How do you know?" Mu Hanyan was even more puzzled.
I remember that when they met, this Tan Yu obviously didn't know their identities and origins. Qiu Zizhong did mention it to Jiang Qiling, but he used the method of gathering energy to transmit sound, which made it difficult for even her powerful and sharp six senses to eavesdrop. This Tan Yu probably didn't have that ability.
"Because I can barely be considered a member of the Sword Valley." Tan Yu said as he took out a token that looked somewhat similar to the token in Mu Hanyan's hand.
"It turns out to be senior brother." Mu Hanyan said with a smile.
At first, she called Tan Yu "senior brother" only because they were both disciples of Longyan College. After seeing this token, she realized that he was also from Wenjian Valley. They were truly fellow disciples in the true sense of the word. Mu Hanyan felt a sense of closeness in her heart.
"Sir, please don't address me like that. I am not worthy of the title of senior brother. I am not actually a disciple of Longyan College. At most, I am an outer disciple. My status in the college is no different from that of a servant. Sir, please just call me by my name. Otherwise, if someone hears it, I don't know how they will laugh at me." Tan Yu said hurriedly.
"Does Longyan College still have outer court disciples?" Mu Hanyan had never heard of this.
"Longyan Academy only recruits students every few years, and each time, no more than a hundred people are accepted. Those who pass the assessment are all elites from major families, or talented children of commoners. Naturally, we cannot let them serve the instructors.
Therefore, every time students are recruited, some young people with decent qualifications will be selected to join the academy, or the instructors can also recruit some young people who are pleasing to the eye to serve by their side. To put it nicely, they are outer courtyard disciples, but in fact they are just servants and menial servants.
Of course, even if they are servants, they are still serving the college tutors. If they are lucky, they can get some guidance and attend the tutors' lectures. If they are lucky, they may even be noticed by a tutor and accepted as his disciple. Therefore, even if they are of low status, many descendants of ordinary families or children of common people still flock to them.
But if you're not that lucky and aren't chosen by the instructor to be his apprentice, you'll have to leave the academy in ten years at most." Speaking of this, Tan Yu looked a little lonely.
Mu Hanyan finally understood. No wonder Tan Yu said that he was about to leave the academy. It must be because his ten-year term was up and he had not been able to become Gong Hongru's disciple, so he had to leave the academy.
It can be seen that he actually didn't want to leave the college like this, but Longyan College has its own rules, and she could do nothing about it.
"Then, is there no other way to stay?" Mu Hanyan said sympathetically.
Although they had not had much contact, she could see that Tan Yu had a cheerful personality and a good heart. It would be a pity to see him leave Longyan College like this.
Although they were outer court disciples, even Mu Hanyan had never heard of the existence of outer court disciples in Longyan College. Once they left the college, no one would recognize their identities. If they learned something, it would be fine, but if they achieved nothing, they would have wasted ten years of their time in vain.
"Well, unless Master Gong is willing to accept me as his disciple, there is no other way." Tan Yu shook his head and said, obviously not holding any hope at all.
This is normal. As one of the three great masters in the academy, Gong Hongru has never accepted a disciple in his life. Mu Hanyan is his first one. He doesn't dare to expect to have such good luck.
"I will plead for you and see if Master can keep you." Mu Hanyan wanted to help him, but did not dare to promise easily.
Gong Hongru was known for his fairness and impartiality. The reason he accepted Hua Yue and others was because he was provoked by Wenren Qingqiu. She was not sure that she could convince him.
"Thank you very much." Tan Yu said politely, but not too excited.
Mu Hanyan probably didn't understand Master Gong's temperament, but he knew it all too well. In his opinion, no matter how talented Mu Hanyan was, being able to become Master Gong's disciple was a blessing for generations. She probably didn't have the ability to influence his decision.
