Even though this master is a little lazy and spends more time in seclusion, Mu Hanyan still feels that it is worth it to be his disciple.
"Is there nothing else?" Looking at Mu Hanyan's mercenary smile, Gong Hongru asked unhappily.
"Master, I'm now officially a disciple of Longyan Academy. What should I do tomorrow?" Mu Hanyan asked. She had lived two lives, but had never practiced in any academy, so she really didn't know what to do.
"You can just ask Tan Yu about these things. If you have any questions during your cultivation, just go to the study room behind the courtyard. All my life's experience in cultivation is there. Unless the sky falls, don't disturb my retreat easily." Gong Hongru yawned again and said impatiently.
"Oh." Mu Hanyan's smile faded, and she responded with a bitter face. This master is really terribly lazy.
"Sir, I have been in the academy for ten years, but my cultivation has not improved much. According to the rules, I should leave the academy. I came back this time to say goodbye to you." Tan Yu also had a bitter face and looked at Gong Hongru pitifully.
"I actually forgot. You've wasted so many years following me. It's time for you to go out and gain some experience. I have some elixirs and cultivation techniques in my study. You can copy down whatever you like and take it away. But don't spread it to others, otherwise it may bring you fatal disaster." Gong Hongru patted his forehead before he remembered this.
"And you, you have been in the academy for quite some time, but your cultivation has not improved at all. You should also go and take a look. When you have the opportunity, you can excerpt some information. After a while, you can go out and make a living on your own." Gong Hongru paused and said to the Yushu Linfeng brothers.
"Sir..." Tan Yu and the other two looked at Gong Hongru with tears in their eyes. They obviously didn't want to leave, but they didn't know how to start. Subconsciously, they looked at Mu Hanyan, hoping that she could help plead and think of a solution.
"Master, I'm unfamiliar with Longyan College, and you're busy in seclusion. If they leave, I won't even be able to find anyone to ask for directions. Can you think of a way to keep them here?" Mu Hanyan couldn't bear to see the pitiful looks of these people, so she pleaded with Gong Hongru.
"It's not easy for you to keep them. Just accept them as your disciples." Gong Hongru saw Mu Hanyan's intention and said disapprovingly.
"So simple?" Mu Hanyan was slightly stunned.
"No, absolutely not." Just as Mu Hanyan was stunned, Tan Yu and the other two were shocked and shook their heads like rattles.
"Anyway, I have already told you the solution. Whether they can stay or not depends on you. I will go into seclusion and go out to visit friends in a few days. You can discuss it among yourselves when you have something to do." After saying this, Gong Hongru walked towards the inner room.
"Swoosh!" A black shadow flashed before his eyes, and a chubby little strange beast hung on Gong Hongru's body. It was Mu Hanyan's little auspicious beast.
"Hey, what is this?" Gong Hongru pinched the little auspicious beast's neck and lifted it up, looking at its two pig nostrils with interest. The little guy also opened his eyes wide, which was rare, and looked at him curiously.
The man and the beast stared at each other, which was quite amusing.
"Master, this is my sword pet." Mu Hanyan said quickly, fearing that Gong Hongru would crush the little auspicious beast to death.
"So it's your sword pet. This little thing is destined to be with me. I'll help you raise it for a few days." After Gong Hongru said that, he threw the little guy onto his shoulder and walked leisurely into the inner room. The little guy actually lay obediently on his shoulder and nudged his neck affectionately.
As for Mu Hanyan, she had long been thrown into oblivion by it.
"It's strange. This guy usually ignores us, so why is he so close to Master?" Hua Yue and the others were all surprised.
Mu Hanyan has had this little auspicious beast for quite some time, and is familiar with Hua Yue and the others. However, she usually doesn't let anyone touch it except Mu Hanyan. Unexpectedly, it gets along so well with Gong Hongru and takes the initiative to hang on him.
"I think it's probably because they all like to sleep in... Oh no, it's because they are in seclusion." Mu Hanyan held her chin and was stunned for a long time before she accepted the reality that she was ruthlessly abandoned by the little auspicious beast. She said after thinking about it, this was the only possibility she could think of.
As if to confirm Mu Hanyan's words, soon, the sound of a man and a beast snoring like thunder in seclusion could be heard from the room.
In order not to disturb Gong Hongru's "retreat", Mu Hanyan and others walked out of the house quietly.
"Mr. Mu, please don't take what Lord Gong said just now seriously. At worst, we can just leave Longyan College. Anyway, with our strength, we won't starve to death. We can always find a way to make a living." As soon as he returned to his yard, Tan Yu said anxiously to Mu Hanyan.
"Why?" Mu Hanyan had just seen that they opposed taking her as their master, and she had thought that they were too embarrassed to admit defeat. After all, they were of similar age, and being friends was fine, but being master and disciple was beneath their dignity. However, now that she saw their worried faces, she knew that she had misunderstood, and there might be another reason.
"Master Mu, do you think we're too embarrassed to accept you as our master?" Tan Yu gave a wry smile and continued, "In the Holy Court Continent, the strong are respected, and the capable are the masters. Not to mention that we are of similar age, even cultivators in their fifties or sixties learning from powerful people in their twenties wouldn't be unusual. What's more, we are called outer disciples, but in reality we are just servants. Being able to accept you as your master is truly a blessing. However, in Longyan Academy, accepting a master and a disciple is not so easy."
"Oh, what's going on?" Mu Hanyan asked curiously.
"Not everyone can accept disciples at Longyan Academy. Only those who have defeated the guardian beast souls in the Beast Soul Hall are qualified. Master Xiang Gong, Master Long Congyuan and other academy instructors were qualified to accept disciples only after defeating the guardian beast souls. Although some instructors have their own unique skills, they are still not qualified to accept disciples because they have not been able to defeat the guardian beasts." Tan Yu did not hide anything and said frankly.
After hearing what he said, Mu Hanyan also remembered that there were quite a few tutors in Longyan College, but not many of them participated in the enrollment election a few days ago to accept disciples. It turned out that many tutors were not qualified to accept disciples at all.
"Is the beast soul guarding the temple very powerful?" Mu Hanyan suddenly thought of the Qiongqi Temple in the Valley of Strange Beasts, and became even more curious.
"It's more than just formidable. It's said that since the founding of Longyan Academy, very few masters below the rank of Grand Swordsman have defeated the Temple Guarding Beast Spirit. And even fewer have defeated Temple Guarding Beast Spirits as disciples.
The most terrifying thing is that once you enter the Beast Soul Hall, you can't leave freely. You must either defeat the guardian beast spirit or wait three days for the hall to open automatically. But if you can't defeat the guardian beast spirit, who can survive three days? Throughout history, countless self-proclaimed geniuses have perished in the Beast Soul Hall, or suffered grievous injuries that ruined their lives. Even some masters of the Grand Swordsman realm have been unable to escape this fate," said Tan Yu.
