“What’s wrong?”
Gu Han naturally noticed the Instructor’s unusual behavior and was a little curious.
“Why does he have that expression?”
“He…”
Jiang Feng gave a bitter smile.
“Today, it’s very likely no one will choose him.”
“Why? Is his Cultivation very low?”
“Spirit Profound Triple Realm, he’s the one with the lowest Cultivation among the ten Instructors.”
“That shouldn’t be.”
Gu Han shook his head.
“Even if his Cultivation is low, guiding Cultivation isn’t just about how high one’s Cultivation is, it’s impossible…”
“Gu Brother.”
Jiang Feng hesitated.
“Do you know, he actually has a nickname…”
“Nickname?”
“Bringer of Bad Luck!”
Suddenly.
Along with an old voice, a worn-out broom appeared in front of the two.
Who the person was.
It was naturally self-evident.
Hm?
Gu Han was startled.
Where did this old man come from?
“This person’s name is Mei Yun.”
The old man said with a sigh, introducing himself, “He came to the Martial Academy fifteen years ago to be an Instructor. When he first arrived, twenty-six people chose him. By the time the five-year period was up, seven had died, ten were crippled, and the remaining nine were mediocre for life, completely unworthy of being called Martial Academy Disciples.”
“…”
Gu Han was speechless.
Mei Yun?
In this world, who would take such a terrible name?
“Then… what happened later?”
“Later?”
The old man shook his head.
“Speaking of which, this person’s name has the character ‘Yun’ (luck) in it, but he’s actually not lucky at all.”
Gu Han curled his lips.
It’s true his name has ‘Yun’, but you also don’t look at his surname?
“Ten years ago, far fewer Disciples chose him, but there were still nine. However, this time, they didn’t even wait for the five-year period to expire. During a training expedition in the Barren Forest, all nine of them died in the mouths of Yao Beasts, with no one surviving!”
“By five years ago…”
The old man kept shaking his head.
“Only three people chose him. This time, there were no accidents, and these three all successfully lived for five years. However, by the time the period was up, these three… all went mad!”
Mad… mad?
Gu Han was dumbfounded.
How is this a Bringer of Bad Luck?
This is clearly a proper Lone Star of Disaster!
“Gu Brother.”
Jiang Feng looked helpless.
“Now you know why I didn’t want you to choose him, right?”
“I think.”
Gu Han sighed deeply.
“He should change his name… no, he should even change his surname!”
“Isn’t that so.”
The old man agreed wholeheartedly.
“Because of this, not only is this person shunned in the Martial Academy, but his nickname, Bringer of Bad Luck, has also spread throughout the Ten Kingdoms, and he even gained the attention of the Upper Sect. Speaking of which, he’s quite unique.”
“…”
Gu Han was speechless again.
It seems that being unlucky to this extent can also make one famous.
“Of course.”
The old man glanced at Jiang Feng, changing the subject.
“This talk of luck is ethereal and cannot be entirely believed! The Dao of Cultivation is like sailing against the current; if you don’t advance, you retreat! Therefore, choosing which Instructor isn’t important. What’s important is to have that indomitable belief of contending with Heaven, contending with Earth, and contending with people. Otherwise, even if you have world-shaking Aptitude, your path will be difficult, and you may not achieve any Major Achievement!”
This speech.
Made Jiang Feng blush.
“Old man.”
He quickly bowed.
“I’ve been enlightened! Your words today are like a sudden realization; I was too stubborn before!”
“Good, good.”
The old man smiled, his wrinkles all squeezed together.
“A teachable Disciple!”
Seeing Jiang Feng being completely swayed, Gu Han couldn’t help himself.
“Old man, who are you, a divine being?”
“Heh heh.”
The old man waved his hand, looking pleased.
“Divine being is too much; I’ve just been sweeping the floor in the Martial Academy for thirty years.”
Thirty years!
Jiang Feng looked at him with reverence.
Gu Han, however, was puzzled.
Swept the floor for thirty years… isn’t that still a sweep-the-floor person?
What’s there to be proud of?
In the distance.
The Deputy Deans, led by Commander Zhou, also remained silent, just watching the crowd whisper with expressionless Faces, as if waiting for something.
“They’re here!”
Suddenly.
Commander Zhou’s eyes narrowed as he looked into the distance.
As his voice fell.
The crowd outside the Martial Academy, who were watching the excitement, instantly stirred.
“Quick! Quick, move aside!”
“The First Prince is here, everyone make way for him!”
“Oh my goodness! The last time I saw the First Prince was several years ago; this time, I’m finally fortunate enough to see him again!”
“Hiss! The First Prince’s Fire Spirit Body must have reached Major Achievement! I can feel that intense heat from a hundred zhang away!”
“…”
Amidst the discussions.
Everyone consciously cleared a path.
In Great Qi.
Especially in the Royal Capital.
The First Prince, Jiang Hong, was the undisputed Prodigy in everyone’s hearts!
“Big Brother?”
Jiang Feng was a little surprised.
“Didn’t he already become a Disciple of the Upper Sect? Why… would he still come to the Martial Academy?”
“Your Big Brother?”
Gu Han suddenly understood.
“No wonder such a grand entrance, making so many people wait for him!”
“Gu Brother.”
Jiang Feng was a little worried.
“Although Big Brother may not be deliberately targeting you, you… should still be careful.”
“Is that so?”
Gu Han’s tone was slightly mocking.
“He, a dignified First Prince, wouldn’t lower himself to deal with an unknown person like me, would he?”
“You don’t understand him.”
Jiang Feng’s expression was somewhat complex.
“Big Brother is exceptionally talented and strong-willed. Since childhood, very few people have dared to go against his wishes…”
Seeing his expression.
Gu Han secretly shook his head and patted him.
“You don’t need to…”
“You don’t need to be like this!”
He hadn’t finished his sentence.
But was suddenly interrupted by the old man beside him.
“Young man.”
He shook his head.
“Although his Fire Spirit Body is very powerful, it doesn’t mean you are necessarily inferior to him. Currently, he has gone further than you, but the future is uncertain. He cannot always leave you behind. Everything depends on yourself.”
“Old man.”
Jiang Feng’s expression trembled, and he murmured to himself.
“Do I… still have a chance?”
“Heh heh.”
The old man glanced at Gu Han.
“What do you say?”
Me?
Gu Han couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
What else can I say?!
You’ve said it all!
Do you like lecturing people so much?!
“Please continue.”
He gave a stiff smile.
“I’m listening.”
The old man, however, said no more. He observed Jiang Feng for a few moments, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his murky eyes.
And at this moment.
Under the envious and reverent gazes of the crowd outside.
Three figures walked into the Martial Academy.
The one in the lead.
Was naturally Jiang Hong.
And beside him, a man and a woman, were Liu Ying and Liu Tong.
For a moment.
Everyone’s attention was drawn to them.
No other reason.
It was simply that Jiang Hong and Liu Ying were too eye-catching.
One was of noble status, with a naturally extraordinary appearance.
The other was graceful and beautiful, with a captivating countenance.
As for Liu Tong…
He seemed extremely ordinary.
However, at this moment, he wasn’t in the mood to consider these things. His gaze continuously swept around, as if searching for something.
There weren’t many people inside the Martial Academy.
He naturally found Gu Han’s figure with ease.
With a cold sneer.
He strode over.
“Gu Brother.”
Jiang Feng’s heart sank.
“He’s here!”
As he spoke, Liu Tong had already arrived in front of the two.
“Seventh Prince.”
He glanced at Jiang Feng, his words completely devoid of respect.
“I didn’t expect you to come to the Martial Academy as well.”
“Liu Tong.”
Jiang Feng took a deep breath.
“You…”
“Your Highness!”
Liu Tong gave him no Face at all.
“I hope you don’t interfere with the grudge between him and me! Otherwise, heh heh…”
Seeing his rudeness.
Jiang Feng instantly clenched his fists.
“We meet again.”
Liu Tong stared at Gu Han.
“Surprised?”
“Not surprised.”
Gu Han naturally wouldn’t be intimidated by him.
“Just a little disgusted.”
“Hmph!”
Liu Tong’s expression instantly darkened.
“I remember the humiliation of that day clearly!”
“Good that you remember.”
Gu Han was expressionless.
“Consider it a lesson for you!”
“You!”
A hint of malice flashed in Liu Tong’s eyes.
“Keep being stubborn! We’ll see later…”
“Liu Tong!”
At this moment.
A faint voice came from afar.
It was the First Prince, Jiang Hong!
“Come back!”
“…Yes!”
Liu Tong naturally didn’t dare to disobey his command.
“This is the Martial Academy, not the Murong Family! Let’s see who can protect you now!”
After speaking.
He returned to Jiang Hong’s side.
“This little bastard!”
The old man shook his head.
“He’s hopeless!”
“Old man.”
Gu Han egged him on.
“Didn’t you sweep the floor here for thirty years? You must have some connections, right? Since this bastard is already hopeless, why don’t you use your connections to completely eliminate this scourge? How about it? I think many people would be grateful for your kindness!”
“Well, about that.”
The old man chuckled, then directly picked up his broom and slipped away.
“Cough cough… We’ll talk about it, we’ll talk about it!”
“Gu Brother.”
Jiang Feng’s expression was not very good.
“Liu Tong is insidious and vicious, and narrow-minded. Now that my Big Brother is here, I’m afraid…”
“We’ll see.”
Gu Han naturally understood that given Liu Tong’s relationship with Jiang Hong, his days in the Martial Academy would certainly not be easy.
Subconsciously.
He touched the Storage Pouch at his waist.
At worst… he’d just ask Murong Chuan for help!
At this moment.
Jiang Hong and the two had already gone to the very front, standing with the Deputy Deans and Instructors.
In front of him.
No one dared to put on airs.
Even Commander Zhou, surprisingly, showed a hint of a smile on his Face.
Among them.
Liu Tong and Yu Hua naturally huddled together.
The two whispered incessantly, occasionally glancing at Gu Han.
A moment later.
Commander Zhou spoke slowly.
“How is it?”
Behind him.
An Instructor smiled: “Excluding the thirteen who died in the Yao Beast riot that day, all one hundred and thirty-five Disciples from various cities are here.”
“Good!”
Commander Zhou nodded, his gaze sweeping over the excited young people.
“You all know the rules.”
“I won’t say more; time is limited, begin!”
Everyone understood.
It was time to choose Instructors.
Almost in unison.
Fully one-third of the people instantly stood in front of Han Fu.
The remaining people didn’t not want to, but considered their Aptitude limited and not worthy of Han Fu’s Dharma Eye, so they simply didn’t bother and chose other Instructors.
For a time.
In front of the various Instructors.
More or less, some people stood.
Except for Mei Yun!
Gu Han was an exception; he didn’t understand his situation, but everyone else knew his background clearly.
Are you kidding me?!
Who would dare to choose him?
Isn’t that just asking for an early death?
At this moment.
Mei Yun’s Face showed even more distress.
If he didn’t recruit a single Disciple this year, he would no longer have the Face to remain an Instructor.
“Gu Brother.”
Jiang Feng suppressed the unease in his heart.
“Let’s go choose Instructor Han.”
With his status as a Prince, he could naturally choose any Instructor without being rejected. Bringing Gu Han along was purely for his sake.
“Seventh Brother.”
At this moment.
A voice came from afar.
It was Jiang Hong!
“What?”
He stared at Jiang Feng, his tone gentle.
“You don’t even greet Big Brother when you see him?”
