Lu Yin was amused. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he could pass through five horizontal lines and graduate, but he just didn't want to graduate. There were probably many people like him in Yi Xian Academy.
Mr. Zheng did not say anything else. "Forget it, just treat it as an attempt. You may leave."
Bai Nan looked at Lu Yin. "Mr. Haoyu, shouldn't you broaden our horizons?
Not every mentor can pass through the eighteen horizontal lines. Of the Enlighter mentors in the academy, only Mr. Wu can do it. We hope that Mr. Haoyu can do it as well and add another outstanding mentor to our academy. "
Lu Yin smiled. "I can't do it."
Bai Nan was stunned. So direct?
Mr. Zheng was stunned as well, but he did not say anything else. He waved his hand impatiently. "Alright, you may leave. If you want to pass through the eighteen horizontal lines, do it yourself." He then looked at Lu Yin. "Mr. Haoyu, let's go."
Lu Yin nodded and left with Mr. Zheng.
Some of the male students were disdainful. "He's just an embroiderer. He doesn't even dare to try. Even Mr. Wei, who teaches history, tried. Although he couldn't pass through the eighteen horizontal lines, his courage is commendable. This Mr. Haoyu doesn't have any masculinity at all."
"Yeah, he probably got in through the back door. If the students can get in through the back door, why can't the mentors?"
Some of the girls were unhappy. "What nonsense are you talking about?
Mr. Haoyu is humble and elegant, unlike you guys. You're all muscleheads and have no temperament at all. "
"You guys are so petty. You must be jealous that Mr. Haoyu is more handsome than you."
Bai Nan was unhappy. "If we're talking about handsomeness, then Mr. Wei is even more handsome."
Some of the girls were unhappy. "Mr. Wei is clearly a woman dressed as a man. You guys saw through it a long time ago, and you're all so attentive. Mr. Haoyu is still the most handsome."
"You guys are shallow."
"You guys are ignorant."
"You guys …"
…
Lu Yin and Mr. Zheng, who had long since left, heard the argument. Mr. Zheng was unhappy, as this person had caused a conflict among the students as soon as he had arrived. Although it was a small conflict, it was still not a good sign.
"Mr. Haoyu, why didn't you try?
That wouldn't be good for establishing prestige among the students, "Mr. Zheng asked.
Lu Yin smiled. "Dean Wen said that teachers and students should be casual and harmonious relationships. Why do we have to establish prestige?"
Mr. Zheng shook his head. "That's just the way we interact with each other. This is an academy, after all. The responsibility of the instructors is to teach. If the students don't think that the instructors have the ability to teach them, why would they come to Yi Xian Academy?"
Lu Yin nodded. "Mr. Zheng is right. I've learned a lot."
Mr. Zheng didn't say anything more. Today's scene would soon spread throughout Yi Xian Academy. He really wanted to see how many people listened to Mr. Haoyu's first class.
Could it be the lowest in the history of Yixian Academy?
That shouldn't be the case. This person was enough to attract a large number of female students.
However, that would be even more embarrassing. As a teacher, if he used such a method to attract students, he would be laughed at.
He wasn't targeting Lu Yin, but rather, he didn't wish for such an unconventional mentor to appear in the academy. Yi Xian Academy was currently in a precarious situation, and the slightest mistake could cause it to capsize.
In order to prevent being seen along the way, Mister Zheng deliberately brought Lu Yin through the Astral Source Universe to a stone pillar. He did not introduce the place to Lu Yin along the way, and he did not even attend the lecture that he had originally planned to give Lu Yin.
Lu Yin raised his head and looked at the stone pillar that towered into the heavens. It was similar to Dean Wen's.
“
This is the stone pillar that Mr. Wen lives in. Wait a moment, I'll go inform Mr. Wen. "Mr. Zheng then disappeared.
Lu Yin stood under the stone pillar and looked around. It was only then that he realized that the stone pillar was slanted in the direction that they had come from.
He stared into the distance and saw another stone pillar that was slanted in a different direction. Could these stone pillars be slanted like the center of Yi Xian Academy?
If that was the case, then from the height of the stone pillars, it might look like the edges of a birdcage that encompassed Yi Xian Academy.
Did the teachers live outside to protect the students?
In that case, Dean Wen's stone pillar might be the centermost and also the tallest.
While waiting, a girl arrived and gave Lu Yin a strange look before heading towards the stone pillar.
Lu Yin looked at her and felt that she looked familiar. Where had he seen her before?
He carefully tried to recall, but he couldn't remember.
The girl looked back at Lu Yin before climbing up the stone pillar. "Are you new?"
Lu Yin nodded and smiled. "Yes."
The girl looked at Lu Yin's face and blushed. She gently said, "My name is Hou Qing. You can contact me if you need any help." She then gave Lu Yin the method to contact the Cloudvision Stone and climbed up the stone pillar.
Lu Yin felt strange, as Yu Hao's appearance really took advantage of him. Hold on, Hou Qing?
He suddenly remembered. Wasn't she Liu Yefei's disciple?
Back at the Ancestral Gazing Tower, Liu Yefei had brought Hou Qing along to meet Lu Yin and Long Kui. At that time, Hou Qing had even bowed to Long Kui. Yes, it was her.
She was also in Yi Xian Academy, and she was an Enlighter. Her appearance hadn't changed much, but her temperament had matured. She no longer had the vigor that she had when they had first met, and she seemed more like an elder.
She was of the same generation as Lu Yin and the Fourth Young Ancestor, so she could indeed be considered an elder in Yi Xian Academy.
Eh?
Lu Yin suddenly looked up and felt someone's gaze on him. Was it that Mr. Wen?
He saw a pair of cold eyes and a rather beautiful face. She was Mr. Wen Xiao?
A woman?
Not long after, Mr. Zheng landed. "Mr. Wen is confirming with the dean. He'll be done soon. Just wait."
Lu Yin was curious. "You call her Mr. Wen? Who is she?"
Mr. Zheng replied, "She's the dean's great-granddaughter, Wenzhao. We usually call her Mr. Wen."
Lu Yin nodded in understanding.
"Mr. Wen has a cold personality, and the dean asked her to give this place to you. She might have some opinions about you, but don't worry, she doesn't like to cause trouble for others. It's best if you don't disturb her," Mr. Zheng reminded Lu Yin. He shouldn't be the one saying this, but Mr. Wen had asked him to.
Mr. Zheng didn't understand Dean Wen, but how could Mr. Wen not?
When she heard Mr. Zheng mention Lu Yin's information, especially his appearance, she immediately guessed Dean Wen's intentions. Thus, she had asked Mr. Zheng to remind Lu Yin so that both sides wouldn't be embarrassed.
Lu Yin nodded. "I understand. Don't worry, I won't disturb Mr. Wen."
Mr. Zheng simply passed on a message and didn't say anything else. "I've brought you the place, and I'll send you the class times through the Cloudstone. Pick a class, and I'll take my leave."
"Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Zheng." Lu Yin smiled.
Mr. Zheng politely replied, "I hope that Mr. Haoyu can bring more talents to the Astral Tree Academy and pass down the legacy of human civilization. Goodbye."
"Goodbye," Lu Yin replied as he watched Mr. Zheng leave.
Half a day after Mr. Zheng left, two figures came down from the stone pillar. One was Hou Qing, and the other was Mr. Wen. She was the woman Lu Yin had seen when he looked at the stone pillar.
Mr. Wen looked at Lu Yin. "I've already taken what should be taken away. If you have any questions, just look for the dean."
Lu Yin nodded. "I understand. Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Wen."
She left coldly and took Hou Qing with her. Hou Qing was very curious about Lu Yin; she had heard that this person was a mentor, and he was so young and handsome.
After they left, Lu Yin stepped forward and climbed up the stone pillar.
According to Mr. Zheng, almost every mentor had their own arrangements on their stone pillars to minimize the number of times they were disturbed by students. It wasn't that they didn't want to teach, but rather that the mentors needed to rest, cultivate, and have their own secrets. Furthermore, there were more and more students in the academy, and some of them weren't any weaker than the mentors.
Mr. Wen Junior's stone pillar had been set up so that the wind would blow from the top down, and it would only cover a radius of two meters around the stone pillar. Within this radius, the wind from the top down would be enough to make it difficult for a Cruiser to advance, and only Hunters and Enlighters would be able to ascend it.
Lu Yin climbed to the top of the pillar and looked around. Sure enough, this was the case.
The stone pillars were slanted towards the center of Yi Xian Academy. Although the angle wasn't too great, they were too high up, so they gradually drew closer to each other. From the top of the pillar, Lu Yin could easily see the two adjacent pillars, as well as the central pillar whose top couldn't be seen. That was the dean's office that he had visited before.
There wasn't a courtyard at the top of the pillar, just a simple stone house with a lake, flowers, and small animals. Lu Yin liked this kind of environment.
Of the two stone pillars next to this one, one belonged to Mr. Tang, who had grasped the domain of the Empty God Realm, and the other belonged to Mr. Wen.
Originally, Mr. Wen had only needed to arrange for Lu Yin to sit on the adjacent pillar since no one lived there. However, in order to fulfill Lu Yin's desire to learn about domains, Mr. Wen had specifically asked Mr. Wen to move it so that Lu Yin could sit next to both Mr. Tang and Mr. Wen. This showed that Mr. Wen was very important to Lu Yin.
Not long after, Lu Yin saw Mr. Wen and Hou Qing climbing up the adjacent pillar.
Although the pillars were adjacent, they were still quite far apart. At the very least, a Cruiser wouldn't be able to see them, but Hou Qing was an Enlighter, so she could see them.
She smiled when she saw Lu Yin.
Lu Yin nodded.
"Mr. Wen, what's Mr. Hao Yu's cultivation?"
Hou Qing asked.
Not too far away, Mr. Wen began to arrange the stone pillars. "I don't know. I can't see through it."
Hou Qing looked in Lu Yin's direction. "Maybe he's an Envoy, but it's rare to see such young ones. If he's around our age, then his innate gift would be comparable to the Four Young Ancestors."
Mr. Wen replied, "Don't worry about him. Is there anything you don't understand about the Literary Prison?"
Hou Qing reacted and quickly asked for guidance.
The fire phoenix descended, and the dark phoenix replaced the sky. Yi Xian Academy was shrouded in darkness as a day passed.
Lu Yin reclined comfortably on his chair and enjoyed the cool breeze at the top of the pillar. It was a little cool, but it was also quite comfortable.
Mr. Zheng had sent Lu Yin his class schedule two hours ago, and since both days were full, Lu Yin decided to schedule his class for the afternoon three days from now.
