At the top of the steps was the College.
After walking through an arched door, there was a square in front of them. The surroundings were still mountain walls, and there were many winding staircases leading to different places on Book Mountain. There were ancient palaces and courtyards in each place, and it was as though they were surrounded by rolling clouds. It was a magnificent sight.
Today was the day the new disciples of the College were admitted. Naturally, there would be people to welcome them.
At this moment, there were many people in the public square. Looking at the group of people entering the academy, many people smiled. It was said that this batch of disciples who entered the academy were all very outstanding. Especially some of them, they were extremely talented and were rare geniuses.
"Is Kua Shan here?" someone shouted.
"Yes." Kua Shan walked out.
"Are you willing to cultivate with Mountain Elder Zong Xu?" the person asked.
The disciples' eyes sparkled. Many looked at Kua Shan enviously. There were seven mountain elders in the College. Zong Xu's ability was definitely in the top three. There were many outstanding geniuses under him.
"I am." Kua Shan nodded.
"Nangong Jiao," the person shouted again.
"Yes." Anticipation flashed in Nangong Jiao's eyes.
"Are you willing to cultivate with Mountain Elder Zhu Qingshan?"
"As expected." Joy appeared in Nangong Jiao's eyes. She nodded and said, "I am willing."
"Tuoba Yun, are you willing to cultivate with Mountain Elder Qin Mu?"
"I am willing." Tuoba Yun nodded.
The young people who were admitted were all called and assigned to the seven mountain elders. However, no one was qualified to cultivate with the College Chief.
Of course, they also knew that this was almost impossible. Every disciple under the College Chief was extremely outstanding.
As for the Cottage, no one thought about it.
However, there seemed to be some people whose names weren't called.
Ye Futian and Yu Sheng had been standing quietly by the side. They wanted to ask, but before they could, the other party began to call out names. They had no choice but to stand quietly by the side and wait. Fortunately, there were not many disciples enrolled, so it ended quickly.
All the mountain elders sent people to welcome the new disciples. Clearly, the College had already made a decision and knew the news.
In reality, they'd already confirmed during the entrance examination. Only those who were favored by the mountain elders could enter the College to cultivate. Otherwise, it would be awkward if no one accepted them.
The disciple also looked at the two and smiled. "If you two are here to study, please wait until next year to participate in the College's examination."
Tuoba Yunnan, Gong Jiao, and the others glanced at Ye Futian, thinking that these two fellows had indeed snuck in. They were asking for trouble.
However, the disciples of the academy were polite and just smiled as they allowed them to leave.
"May I ask where the Cottage is?" Ye Futian asked.
"Cottage …" The person's eyes froze. The surrounding College disciples all turned to look at Ye Futian, stunned.
Even Kua Shan, who had never cared about these things, looked at Ye Futian. He was actually asking about the Cottage?
"Why are you asking about the Cottage?" the disciple asked after being stunned for a while.
"I want to go to the Cottage to cultivate," Ye Futian replied.
The disciple was stunned again and said, "The Cottage probably won't accept disciples. You should go back."
Everyone looked at Ye Futian as if they were looking at an idiot. He actually wanted to cultivate in the Cottage?
"My name is Ye Futian."
Ye Futian said. He wondered if the people from the College knew him.
As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent. All the disciples of the College looked at him and stared at the handsome figure.
Ye Futian was a very familiar name. At the end of last year, this name was often mentioned in the College. Only when the College announced that they wouldn't go to Cangye did the name gradually fade.
However, the College disciples had naturally heard of this name. At this moment, not only did this name appear again, but Ye Futian was also standing in the College.
Since he was Ye Futian, he obviously had the right to appear in the College. Even if he didn't participate in the examination, since he was here, he had the right to enter the College. The Mountain Elder of the College would definitely fight for him. The College disciples had no doubt about this. After all, he had broken the record in the Ancient Barren World.
But Ye Futian had come for the Cottage.
Tuoba Yun's eyes froze. As a member of a noble family, he had obviously heard of Ye Futian. Although he didn't experience what happened in the Ancient Barren World, Ye Futian's name had been mentioned by many people at the end of last year.
Before coming up the mountain, he mocked Ye Futian for thinking that he was Xiao Wuji.
He wasn't Xiao Wuji. He was Ye Futian.
At the peak of Mirror Mountain, he had broken all of Xiao Wuji's records.
Nangong Jiao also looked at Ye Futian in surprise. On the stairs up the mountain, she didn't think that such a handsome young man was actually Ye Futian, who had shown off his abilities in the Ancient Barren World.
It was hard to imagine that the arrogant person who had broken the war drums on Mirror Mountain and said that those who knew him would understand his arrogance would be so handsome. His smile was harmless and one couldn't feel any arrogance from him. Instead, he seemed humble and bright.
After the silence, there was an uproar.
Ye Futian actually came to the College. Did he want to enter the Cottage to cultivate?
However, even if he had broken many records in the Ancient Barren World, only the heavens knew if the Cottage would accept disciples.
"Why are you asking about the Cottage?" The disciple asked Ye Futian after being stunned for a moment. His eyes grew serious. Just Ye Futian's name was enough to make him take him seriously.
"Someone from the Cottage asked me to come to the Cottage to cultivate. Oh, I think his name is Gu Dongliu," Ye Futian said with a smile. Telling him his name was quite useful.
"Gu Dongliu."
The surrounding people gasped. The College disciples all looked at Ye Futian enviously. The College announced that they wouldn't go to Cangye.
However, the Cottage went and didn't tell the College.
Moreover, the person who went was Gu Dongliu.
The Cottage did things their own way as usual.
Why was Gu Dongliu so famous? Many people said that he would be the next Sword Saint.
Why was the Cottage so famous?
That year, the Sword Saint walked down from Book Mountain and became a god after one battle. From then on, everyone in the world didn't know the Cottage.
When the surrounding College disciples heard that Gu Dongliu had asked Ye Futian to come to the Cottage, they didn't know what to say.
Not far away, a group of people walked over.
Tang Ye was in the crowd. His gaze passed through the crowd and landed on Ye Futian.
After a while, the group of people walked up to Ye Futian.
Tang Ye's expression was very ugly. Back then, he had humiliated Ye Futian on the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall. He was so arrogant. Later, he became a laughing stock and lost all face. Luckily, the College announced that they wouldn't go to Cangye. He thought that Ye Futian had missed out on the College.
However, the College announced that they wouldn't go. the Cottage went.
Gu Dongliu went.
The seniors in the College only found out about this later. The Cottage didn't inform the College at all. This made the College lose some face.
Thus, the College didn't publicize this.
Ye Futian looked at Tang Ye calmly. That day, Tang Ye had humiliated him. What happened afterward must have made Tang Ye feel bad.
Beside Tang Ye, there was a figure. This person had an outstanding temperament and was elegant.
His name was Su Muge, the direct disciple of the College Chief. Among the younger generation of the College, his talent could be ranked in the top ten.
At this time, Su Muge stared at Ye Futian and said, "Welcome to the College."
"Thank you, senior brothers, for your guidance," Ye Futian said, cupping his hands. The atmosphere was a bit strange. However, since the other party welcomed him, he naturally couldn't be rude.
"I've heard about what you did in the Ancient Barren World. Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, you were able to break records repeatedly and snatch the glory of the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall. I'm sure your talent in some aspects can be compared to yours," Su Muge said slowly as if he was praising Ye Futian.
"However, cultivation doesn't just rely on talent. Temperament is equally important. Tang Ye once criticized you in the Ancient Barren World. You used facts to prove him wrong. But even so, in the Ancient Barren World, your performance was still too obvious. Even if you can use external forces to unleash great power, it is ultimately not your own power. If one day you find that your own power is not as strong as your talent, wouldn't it be very embarrassing? Moreover, your state of mind would be easily damaged."
Su Muge said slowly, "After all, talent is not the same as power."
Ye Futian was stunned. Was this a compliment or a lesson?
Why did his words sound so strange?
Liu Feiyang had told him that although the Cottage belonged to the College, the relationship between the two was slightly strange. Now, it seemed that it was true.
Not only him, but the surrounding College disciples also realized that Su Muge was the College Chief's disciple and Ye Futian was about to enter the Cottage.
He had just arrived. Su Muge seemed to be welcoming him but was actually teaching him a lesson. The College's attitude towards the Cottage was evident.
However, thinking of the College announcing that they would not go to Cangye, the Cottage turned around and left. Everyone understood that the Cottage did not give the College any face.
"How many Noble statues did you leave on the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall?" At this time, a voice sounded. Su Muge looked over and saw a slightly rotund fatty walking over. The fatty squinted his eyes and smiled at Su Muge. Step by step, he walked up to him.
Su Muge frowned. The fatty said again, "How many inches did you leave on the image on the wall?"
Su Muge's frown deepened.
"Did you control the statue to make it move?" the fatty asked again.
Su Muge's expression was slightly ugly.
"You did nothing. You don't even have talent. What are you talking about?" The fatty did not give the College Chief any face and said coldly. Then, he ignored him and looked at Ye Futian. Squinting his eyes, he smiled. "I am Yi Xiaoshi. Junior, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
A smile gradually appeared on Ye Futian's face. The Cottage was indeed to his liking.
"Hello, senior," Ye Futian said.
"Nice to meet you. Let's go to the Cottage." Yi Xiaoshi did not care about everyone's expressions and turned to leave with Ye Futian.
"Senior, what's your ranking?" Ye Futian walked to Yi Xiaoshi and asked.
"Seventh." Yi Xiaoshi smiled shyly. He used to be the youngest.
"What about Senior Brother Gu Dongliu?" Ye Futian asked again.
"That's the third senior brother."
"The third senior brother is so powerful?" Ye Futian's eyes brightened. Thinking of Gu Dongliu's prestige in the Cangye Kingdom, it seemed that he would have someone to protect him in the future!
Then, who would the first and second senior brothers be?
