”What? Xu Jin chose to worship Liu Qingzhu as his master and joined Feiyan Hall?”

One of the Four Great Academicians, Fang Shihan, received the report from his senior disciple Fang Ying, and a flicker of displeasure crossed his face.

”The likes of him are blind and ignorant, no need to concern ourselves.”

Actually, Fang Shihan had wanted to take Xu Jin as a disciple, but being one of the Four Great Academicians, many high officials and nobles sought to send their younger disciples to be taught by him but could not even gain entry.

It was unexpected that, having already sent a letter to recruit him, Xu Jin still could not grasp the opportunity, which could only be described as blindness!

Four Great Academicians, only four in the entire National Da Chen Daoist School.

However, there are twelve vice academicians, and a few are eliminated every few years.

One can only say, truly blind.

Senior disciple Fang Ying slightly frowned, ”Teacher, with this development, you’ll draw a blank this year.”

”Drawing a blank is all! That Liu Qingzhu, even her own nephew wouldn’t worship under her, what difference can Xu Jin make going there?” Fang Shihan confidently said.

”Teacher, indeed it’s no harm, but under the school’s rules, you’ve already accepted many disciples from the Inner Court and true inheritors this year. Now, with the real transmissions coming up short, I’m afraid this year’s younger brothers will lack someone to uphold the sect’s reputation.

Less rewards are a small matter, losing your face is a big one,” Fang Ying said.

Fang Shihan’s expression darkened slightly, indeed, there would be an impact in this area.

He had thought before that with his status as one of the Four Great Academicians, a letter sent and Xu Jin would have hurriedly come to present himself; then with some coaxing and rewarding added to earnest teachings, even a genius’s pride could be killed and subdued.

Unexpectedly, just being cold-shouldered a little was too much to bear, and Xu Jin immediately refused and left.

Too proud!

It caused such an embarrassing situation.

Sixteen scholar academicians and fifteen true inheritors.

The other three Great Academicians had already recruited Yan Chen, Yuan Feiqing, and Meng Qingqiu respectively, and the remaining twelve true inheritors were also spoken for.

This effectively put him, a Great Academician, in quite a bind.

Although there are many core disciples, no matter how many he recruited, their talents lay bare, and they couldn’t hold up a school.

This year, it would probably not look good on the face.

As for the assessments?

As one of the Four Great Academicians, he truly did not lack an outstanding genius’s results.

Unless there emerged a supremely rare great genius like the current State Preceptor that could significantly impact his future and path!

”No issue, it’s just one year, I don’t lack that bit of face, we can choose more carefully next year,” Fang Shihan said resignedly.

Suddenly, the senior disciple Fang Ying leaned in closer, ”Teacher, there’s someone who actually might have the capability to support the sect for your batch of disciples this year. By genuine strength, he could possibly rank in the top four or even top three of this year’s autumn exam, but his status is a bit inappropriate.”

”Oh? Who is it? What’s the issue with his status?”

”It’s Lv Kun, he was originally an autumn exam seed player, but was eliminated in the first round due to an accident, now only securing a special-recruitment place in the Inner Court thanks to the Lv Family’s remaining influence,” Fang Ying said.

”Is it Lv Kun?”

Fang Shihan pondered.

In fact, before this the Lv Family had approached him with heavy gifts, but he had rejected them.

Accepting a disciple should be pure.

What’s the meaning of receiving gifts beforehand?

Even if entering under him, the Lv Family paying respects could be tolerated, but before that was absolutely unallowable, so he refused.

Moreover, before this Lv Kun was just an Inner Court disciple, not attractive enough, but now hearing his senior disciple putting it this way, there was suddenly a sense of picking up a bargain.

The potential of being among the top three or four true inheritors.

Didn’t this count as a gem lost in the ocean?

Honestly, it was quite coincidental, who made Xu Jin refuse to enter his door, leaving him, a Great Academician, drawing a blank.

”Oh, have you contacted him?” Fang Shihan looked at his senior disciple, Fang Ying.

”Master, how dare I make such decisions for you? I was still considering making Xu Jin my junior brother before. But isn’t this an opportunity? And this Lv Kun, he frequently travels around Wanyi, we are already acquainted,” Fang Ying said.

”Then how do you know he’s willing to worship under me?”

”Master, look at what you’re saying! Who are you?

You are one of the only Four Great Academicians of Da Chen National Daoist School! On the Galaxy Battlefield, two-thirds of the generals come from under your guidance.

It’s only Xu Jin who doesn’t know any better!

For others, just a word from you, wouldn’t they arrive two hours early at the Academic Hall, waiting to kowtow to you?” Fang Ying said.

This speech made the Great Academician Fang Shihan start to laugh, and a smile appeared on his face.

”Then have him come over to kowtow tomorrow morning! As for the Inner Court disciple status, that’s nothing!

The cultivation resources here, I can give to whomever I want!

Who dares talk nonsense, they’ll get a slap from me,” Fang Shihan laughed.

”That’s right!

And I believe with your teaching, Master, it won’t take a few months for Lv Kun to regain a true inheritor’s position,” Fang Ying laughed.

”Indeed.”

Watching his mentor already agreeing to take Lv Kun as a disciple made Fang Ying bursting with joy inside, he didn’t expect the matter to actually succeed.

A Fourth Tier Star Artifact, clinched.

It had to be said, the Lv Family really were willing to bleed a lot for Lv Kun.

But then again, over these years, the Lv Family’s prestige had been waning, and with Lv Kun’s talent, he was indeed the most outstanding in over a decade, the Lv Family could not help but exert great effort in cultivating him!

Another Great Academician, Pan Hong, also received a report from his disciple Huang Zhen, mentioning that Xu Jin had already reported at the Foreign Affairs Hall, taking Vice Academician Liu Qing as his teacher, and he lightly chuckled.
