Master Wang is really willing to spend money on "scholarship"!
As Shen Yuan sat in the pavilion, her mind drifted back to the events of her previous life concerning the old man Murong.
In her previous life, before the Banquet of Enlightenment, Chu Yuning was introduced to Elder Murong by the Dean of Ziyun Academy. Because Elder Murong and Dean Sun of Ziyun Academy were old friends, Elder Murong took special care of Chu Yuning and gave him a special opportunity to show his talent at the Banquet of Enlightenment.
Later, the old master Murong took Chu Yuning as his last disciple, personally teaching him literature and scholarship, and guiding him through his difficulties.
However, after the autumn examination the following year, for reasons unknown, the old master Murong broke off his master-disciple relationship with Chu Yuning in a fit of anger and refused to acknowledge that Chu Yuning had ever been his student.
At the time, Shen Yuan was very curious about what had happened to anger Old Master Murong, but no matter how she asked Chu Yuning, Chu Yuning would not say.
Chu Yuning even yelled at her because she was annoyed by her questions.
He mocked her for not knowing many words herself, yet daring to criticize his studies.
But she clearly didn't mean it that way; she was just concerned about him.
Later, Chu Yuning passed the imperial examination with the highest score among the southern students and became a Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial-level imperial examinations). After that, no one mentioned Mr. Murong again.
Looking back now, Shen Yuan thinks that Master Murong must have discovered Chu Yuning's true colors before the autumn examination that year, which is why he expelled him from the sect in a fit of anger.
Therefore, this time, Shen Yuan will not let Old Master Murong waste his energy on Chu Yuning again. She will let Old Master Murong know in advance that Chu Yuning is not worthy of being a son or daughter, and is not worthy of studying and taking the imperial examinations.
Just then, someone outside said, "Isn't that Chu Yuning, the scholar from Ziyun Academy? Why is he here too, and in the carriage of the Wang family?"
"I heard that Elder Murong is going to select a student to personally teach at today's Dao-enlightening Banquet. The two of them are traveling together in the same carriage. Could it be that Elder Murong came here today specifically for him?"
