Chapter 1071: Everyone Disdains Han Yan

Long Congyuan initially wanted to take Mu Chengxuan as his disciple, seeking his opinion first. One reason was Mu Chengxuan’s outstanding performance, and another was because Long Congyuan, far above the other masters, wanted to show humility and brilliance.

The other masters didn’t have such scruples, nor did they need to seek anyone’s opinion.

After the slightly younger master finished speaking, no one else spoke again.

Everyone waited patiently, but after a while, still no one spoke up.

Looking at Han Yan, then at the group of masters, people’s gazes became strange.

It’s unlikely, right? Even Tang Bufan, who is the weakest and most humble, has caught the eye of a master, yet Han Yan can’t attract any master? Although her previous performance was indeed very average, even those commoner disciples who performed equally averagely had masters interested. How could no one notice Han Yan?

After all, she’s a Mu Family disciple. These masters are really not giving any face to the Mu Family, are they?

Master Tian and Master Yu’s mouths curled into a cold smile, while the other masters exchanged bitter smiles. If the person in the field wasn’t Han Yan, but any other Mu Family disciple, they definitely wouldn’t offend the Mu Family like this.

But there’s no choice. They’ve all seen the methods of the Big Playboy Mu earlier and really don’t want to court trouble.

First, offending Pang Dezong and Zhao Sinin made Zhengying Academy’s reputation plummet, and then bullying Qiu Family’s Qiu Pinghe. Later, when Qiu Ping’an wanted to avenge his brother, he didn’t gain a bit of advantage. They thought the matter would settle for now, but who knew the Big Playboy Mu couldn’t tolerate holding grudges overnight. Not even a day passed, and Qiu Ping’an’s cultivation was completely wasted, pushing a huge Qiu Family to the brink.

Even if Zhao Sinin provoked first, and the subsequent Qiu Family had it coming, they still witnessed Han Yan’s thunderous methods of revenge.

Taking him in, who knows how much trouble would be attracted, and how many people would be offended to death. They don’t want to be dragged down by him.

"Master Long, who on earth is taking Han Yan as a disciple? Haven’t you all discussed it yet?" Gong Hongru asked.

"Well... this child is exceptionally talented. After a long discussion, we feel that with our strength, we’re not capable of taking him as a disciple." Long Congyuan said thoughtfully.

Anyway, Han Yan is a Mu Family disciple. It’s best to leave some face if they can.

But unfortunately, his good intentions were destined to fall through.

As soon as Long Congyuan finished speaking, laughter erupted in the square. Han Yan’s previous performance was even inferior to Tang Bufan, yet saying he’s exceptionally talented was more sarcastic than flattering.

Long Congyuan’s face turned red, feeling that what he said was indeed quite unwise. Obviously trying to save face for the Mu Family, ended up accidentally slapping their face instead.

"Besides, Young Master Mu has been renowned in the Capital for a long time. With our reputation, we really aren’t qualified to be his masters." Master Yu followed up.

If Long Congyuan’s previous words were unintentional, then his were deliberate sarcasm. Previously, Han Yan knew Qiu Ping’an was cheating, but didn’t say anything until he and Master Tian argued fervently, making them lose face. He hates Han Yan deeply for this.

Hearing Master Yu’s words, the laughter grew louder. Han Yan’s indeed well-known, but the title of the Capital’s Number One Playboy is clearly not a good reputation, making Master Yu’s words obviously a sneer at Han Yan.

By now, everyone understood that none of the masters present were willing to take Han Yan as a disciple.

"If I remember correctly, in Longyan Academy’s selection history, there has never been such a precedent where not a single master is willing to take him."

"Indeed, as long as one passes the assessment, there’s always some natural talent and strength, even if still a playboy, a master would be interested. Han Yan not being welcomed like this is really unprecedented."

"This Han Yan, is qualified to be recorded in history. Hahaha." The square resounded with mocking laughter.

"You all aren’t willing to take him in, that’s really a bit difficult." Gong Hongru stroked his long beard, seemingly a bit troubled.

"What’s difficult? Our Longyan Academy never stipulated that a master must lead for cultivation. I believe with Young Master Mu’s talent, even without us, he would have a boundless future." Master Yu continued with mockery.

Hearing his words, everyone’s gaze towards Han Yan turned a bit sympathetic.

It’s customary for each newcomer to follow a master upon entry, but Longyan Academy indeed had no such rule. So Master Yu wasn’t wrong, even if no master noticed, Han Yan could still enter Longyan Academy.

But the Cultivation Path is rugged and uneven. Without an excellent master’s guidance, who knows how many detours they’ll take, and cultivation resources would certainly be far less than others. If Han Yan really enters Longyan Academy like this, what future is there to speak of?

With the sarcasm on Master Yu’s face and the sympathy in the surrounding crowd’s eyes, Huayue and others’ expressions were unsparing.

"So entering Longyan Academy doesn’t necessarily require having a mentor, then I won’t either, Master Yu, thank you for your kind intent." Zirong coldly mocked at Master Yu.

Master Yu’s words were obviously humiliating Han Yan, how could he possibly take him as a mentor.

"Neither will I." Huayue echoed coldly.

"I wasn’t interested in taking a mentor in the first place. You didn’t even ask my opinion before deciding to take disciples, looking down on people. Sorry, I’m not taking one either." Jiang Yuzhe immediately followed up, looking very disdainful.

"Neither will I." Tang Bufan said without a moment’s hesitation, standing tall.

"Me too." Ling Baobao naturally wouldn’t be left out.

The initially a bit quieter square erupted again.

In the history of Longyan Academy, it’s the first time anyone dared refuse the goodwill of the masters. Don’t they know what this means for them? Without a master, even if they enter Longyan Academy, what can they achieve?

Moreover, the few masters already spoke, and they bluntly refused without politeness, clearly provoking and slapping those masters in the face, ensuring even if they enter Longyan Academy, they won’t progress an inch.

They’re doomed, their future is utterly ruined! Everyone looked at them with eyes full of pity, sympathy, and disappointment.

"Do you know what you’re doing? You’re clearly ruining your future! Quickly apologize to the masters, considering your youth and ignorance, the masters probably won’t hold it against you." Long Congyuan angrily slapped his chair, shouting sternly.
