Following the principle of conservation, Hua Xiangyun passed through courtyards and arrived at the gate.
During this time, some people hurried by, only glancing at her with curiosity before going about their own business.
"Fortunately, we have a defensive array here, so the enemy can't get in." Shouheng led the people to the gate, where several senior brothers were already anxiously watching outside.
Yan Xinyu had heard Shouheng say he was going to ask someone for help, but now that she saw him bring only a little girl, she was displeased. These outer disciples were unreliable, but she also knew that they were just doing ordinary tasks, so where would they meet capable people?
He glanced at them, then observed the commotion outside, but lacked the courage to bring the people inside out.
"Senior Brother Yan, what's the situation outside?" Shouheng didn't know what this senior brother was thinking, but he was someone he had worked hard to build a relationship with.
"It looks exactly the same as when you left. Someone else who accidentally wandered in also fell in." Yan Xinyu thought that Shouheng was usually very helpful and a useful person, so she was willing to give him a good look.
"You're an outer disciple, this matter shouldn't fall on your shoulders. You should hurry up and attend to your own business."
This is a large courtyard with four entrances and exits. This is the main gate for external offices. It's just a little inconvenient and a bit of a detour for everyone, but it doesn't affect their travel. The only problem is that the fate of the people inside is currently unknown.
After Yan Xinyu finished speaking, she looked at Hua Xiangyun behind him and said, "This is not an ordinary place. If you don't need anyone, don't bring them here."
If it weren't for the fact that Shouheng usually does things reasonably well, he wouldn't have bothered to give him any pointers.
Shouheng smiled awkwardly, "This is Comrade Hua Xiangyun, Master Wu's beloved disciple. Bring her over to take a look; perhaps she has other ideas."
If what these senior brothers said is true, by the time those seniors return, these people outside might not even be alive.
Yan Xinyu then looked at Hua Xiangyun properly. He knew Master Wu. His master had a lot of opinions about these people getting in through connections. These two, master and disciple, had already taken up a spot in the Xuan Department before even entering the capital, which made those of them who had been subjected to many difficulties to get in particularly resentful.
Looking at the delicate young girl in front of him, he didn't know what was wrong with Minister Jin. He was so biased. How could someone so immature have the nerve to sit on equal footing with them, the direct disciples of prestigious families?
Shouheng didn't want to offend either side, so he could only put on a smiling face and introduce Hua Xiangyun, "This is Master Wu's esteemed disciple, and also our Senior Brother Yan."
This is Master Gu's esteemed disciple, Senior Brother Huang Mukun; this is Master Li's esteemed disciple, Senior Sister Liang Yujie.
Apart from a few senior disciples, he addressed all his direct disciples as senior brothers and sisters.
Even though he was an outer disciple of Master Jinshan, he couldn't stand up straight in front of these direct disciples.
He had personally witnessed these people's abilities during various assessments, and they were truly skilled.
Only when facing Hua Xiangyun, he knew that she had some skills, but it was hard to say exactly how.
I received two talismans as payment, but I don't know if they have any other skills besides drawing talismans.
He was an outer disciple of Jinshan, a generation higher in seniority, but he was self-aware and dared not claim to be an elder, so he could only refer to himself as a comrade.
These direct disciples may appear cheerful on the surface, but they are quite rude to the outer disciples when it comes to ordering them around.
Put those thoughts aside and focus on dealing with the immediate issue at hand.
Hua Xiangyun nodded to them, and the people around Yan Xinyu also looked at Hua Xiangyun with curiosity.
People weren't really optimistic about Master Wu's arrival.
Based on her beautiful and youthful face alone, she must either practice evil magic or rely on connections; these people didn't take her seriously.
Everyone is guessing that Minister Kim is taking care of his juniors, so even if everyone has strong opinions, they can only endure it.
This disciple is so young, only a teenager. Even if he started cultivating from birth, how powerful could he be?
"I think I heard Minister Kim mention that you're still a student, right?" The question, which was originally unremarkable, was spoken in a very sarcastic tone.
The others watched with amusement, wondering if Master Wu's so-called disciple would run away crying today.
"Yes, I just got into Peking University," Hua Xiangyun said, not taking these people's attitudes seriously. That's just how the world is; if you want people to respect you, you have to have the ability yourself.
“Peking University,” Huang Mukun grinned, “we are cultivators, what use is that piece of paper? Take my advice, instead of wasting time on that, you’d be better off spending more time meditating, lest you tarnish your master’s reputation.”
Huang Mukun emphasized the word "prestige" on purpose, which drew chuckles from the people next to him, who said, "What Senior Brother Huang said makes sense."
“I also think what Senior Brother Huang said makes sense,” Hua Xiangyun said with a cold smile after they stopped laughing. “So in order to prevent my master’s reputation from being damaged, I need to use my brain more and learn more, so that I won’t just act recklessly when I go out.”
“Senior Brother Huang, he’s being sarcastic towards you,” Liang Yujie stared at Hua Xiangyun with ill intent. “He’s trying to crush us with his intelligence. Why don’t you hurry up and try taking the entrance exam for Peking University?”
"Get out!" Huang Mukun was enraged. "A mere brat dares to challenge me here. So what if I haven't had much schooling? I've learned plenty of characters."
Their words just now hit Huang Mukun's sore spot, because his master had complained about him more than once, saying that he had talent, but he just wasn't good at learning.
If he could attend school for a few years, his comprehension skills would be much higher, and he would be able to easily understand and apply many divination techniques.
He had wanted to learn more, but his brain just wasn't big enough.
If it weren't for the fact that I was related to my master, he might not have accepted me as a student.
This Hua Xiangyun, who just arrived, is completely ignorant of her own limitations. She doesn't even know her own worth and dares to provoke me right away.
But he forgot that it all started from their side.
Hua Xiangyun touched her face and said, "Comrade Liang, don't cause trouble here. Although I am young and beautiful, my cultivation is no weaker than yours. I heard that here we determine the size of the opponent based on cultivation. Let's have a match another day."
Since these people were full of malice from the start, she didn't need to be polite to them.
"Oh, this new guy is really arrogant."
Is she issuing a challenge to all of us? Liang Yujie's face was grim. These people were all nearing thirty, and naturally, they couldn't compare to these tender young girls.
She has always been very conscious of her appearance, so she naturally felt unhappy seeing those who were younger and more attractive than her.
