The people in the courtyard were all stupefied. They hadn't expected Murong Xue to favor Linlong so much that she'd even bring up her own master. What's more, she'd gotten into a conflict with Qin De because of Linlong.
What sort of virtue or ability did this Linlong have for Murong Xue to favor him so much? For a moment, the crowd was filled with envy and jealousy.
They'd thought it was because Murong Xue liked Linlong, but there was more to it than met the eye.
After Qin De left, some people who didn't understand asked, "Who is that woman?"
"You guys don't understand. Ye Zhuangya is one of the ten great teachers of the Sky Evolution Academy. Because of her shocking knowledge and outstanding looks, many people risk their lives to get into the Sky Evolution Academy because of her," someone who knew the truth said proudly.
"She's actually one of the ten great teachers!"
When they heard that Ye Zhuangya was one of the ten great teachers, those who didn't know her immediately gasped in surprise.
They didn't know Ye Zhuangya, but they knew how powerful the ten great teachers were.
"But if Ye Zhuangya is Murong Xue's master, why did Murong Xue take this test and get into the Sky Evolution Academy?" someone asked in confusion.
"Ye Zhuangya is only Murong Xue's personal master in name. Murong Xue can't even be considered a disciple of the Sky Evolution Academy yet. Although Ye Zhuangya is extremely knowledgeable, she's still just one person. How can she compare to the Sky Evolution Academy's hundreds of years of knowledge? That's why Murong Xue wants to enter the Sky Evolution Academy. She wants to improve even more."
When they heard this explanation, many people who didn't know much immediately understood.
Now that they understood, they naturally envied Linlong even more. They envied Linlong's dog-shit luck to win Murong Xue's favor and Ye Zhuangya's care.
"Hmph, this Linlong doesn't have any real talent. He can't even pass an ordinary test. Even with Ye Zhuangya and Murong Xue's help, he won't amount to much," someone said sourly.
"That's right. This Linlong can't amount to anything."
Quite a few people agreed. Because they didn't know Qin De's background, they naturally thought Linlong really hadn't passed.
Linlong had no idea what they were discussing. Of course, even if he did, he wouldn't care.
He was currently drinking tea with Ye Zhuangya and Murong Xue at the Red Tea House.
Although Ye Zhuangya still looked as cold as ever, there was a trace of astonishment in her eyes as she looked at Linlong.
With her status, any ordinary person who sat in front of her and drank tea would be trembling with fear. However, this young man in front of her was surprisingly calm. He looked as if he was sitting in his own home.
Could it be that this young man's master was very powerful? She could not help but have such a thought.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain himself.
"Your name is Lin Long. Where are you from?" Ye Zhuangya asked Lin Long after taking a sip of tea.
"I'm from the southern region's Mo 'an City, Qingshan Town," Linlong said with an honest expression.
"Mo 'an City? That seems to be a very far place from Lianchuan City? "Ye Zhuangya said.
She naturally didn't know what Qingshan Town was, but she had coincidentally heard of Mo 'an City.
"That's right." Linlong nodded.
"Oh, then who is your master?" Ye Zhuangya asked again.
"I'm just an ordinary alchemist. Even if I told you, Instructor Ye, you wouldn't know." Linlong smiled.
Linlong knew that Ye Zhuangya was asking him these questions because of the Flame Splitting Technique. Although the Flame Splitting Technique had been lost at this stage, it was not an extraordinary technique. Thus, Linlong was not worried.
"An ordinary alchemist? Then where did your Flame Splitting Technique come from? "Ye Zhuangya stared straight at Linlong as she spoke.
"I picked it up in some ruins when I was young. Is this technique very rare?" Linlong acted as if he had discovered a new continent.
Ye Zhuangya was speechless. If he really was lying, there was nothing she could do because there was nothing wrong with his words.
"Oh." Ye Zhuang Ya nodded her head, then said, "You saw my conflict with that Qin De just now. In two days, I will let you go to the Sky Evolution Academy to confront Qin De. Can you still use that Flame Splitting Technique of yours?"
The underlying meaning of this sentence was: Do you dare to use your Flame Splitting Technique in front of everyone?
If it were anyone else, perhaps they would hesitate. Although the Flame Splitting Technique was not very useful, it was still a technique that had been lost for hundreds of years.
However, Linlong was different. Because the Flame Splitting Technique wasn't essential to him, and he didn't want to exchange it for anything. Of course, the most important thing was that besides the Flame Splitting Technique, he had many other things that these people didn't know about.
Thus, he nodded, "No problem."
"Mm, that's good." At this point, Ye Zhuangya suddenly broke into a smile.
The smile on Ye Zhuangya's face clearly had a different kind of beauty. Linlong couldn't help but take a few more glances at her. When Ye Zhuangya's eyes narrowed slightly, he pretended to take a sip of tea without leaving a trace.
"Alright, Xue 'er, see our guest out," Ye Zhuangya said.
"Mm." Murong Xue nodded, then stood up. "Sir Lin, please."
After following Murong Xue to the entrance of the teahouse, Linlong seemed to remember something. He smiled, "Miss Murong, would you like to continue with our date tonight?"
As soon as she heard Lin Long's words, Murong Xue's snow-white face flushed red once more. She hurriedly said, "Sir Lin, I originally wanted to ask you the same question that Master wanted to ask you. Since Master has already asked, we naturally don't need to meet again tonight."
"Haha, is that so?" Linlong laughed heartily, then strode away.
He left Murong Xue behind, her face bright red and her heart beating faster than anything else in the world.
What's wrong with me today? Why am I so easily embarrassed? Murong Xue hurriedly recited the incantation for a cultivation method. Once her heart had calmed down, she once again walked upstairs.
After leaving the teahouse, Linlong did not immediately return to the Heavenly Fragrance Estate. Instead, he found a few local ruffians and gave them a few instructions, then returned to the Heavenly Fragrance Estate.
Linlong naturally wanted them to gather information on Yang Zhe and Qin De.
There was an eighty to ninety percent chance that Yang Zhe was behind all of this. Linlong naturally paid attention to him. Once he had the information and was free, Yang Zhe would be in deep trouble.
As for Qin De, Linlong had originally wanted to do it himself. However, Ye Zhuangya's appearance caused him to temporarily set aside that thought. After all, Qin De was a teacher at the Sky Evolution Academy. It was best to avoid making a move if possible.
When Linlong arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly Fragrance Estate, he was stunned. Mo Tian and Mo Huarong were walking towards him from across the street with bitter expressions on their faces.
"What's going on?" Linlong's expression darkened as he asked the two of them.
