However, the elders didn't care about this.
"The child has just come and doesn't know much about the academy. It's normal for him to make wrong decisions in such a sudden situation. You should let the child come over and take a look before he chooses his mentors!"
"Yeah! Wan Zheng, you pull a long face all the time, so which student wants to follow you? They'll be frightened to death by you! Chu Yue is young. How can he suffer such torture?"
"Chu Yue, I think you should just come to my side! I guarantee you that it won't be worse than Wan Zheng!"
The few teachers swiftly said their piece.
There were already very few geniuses who were heavenly doctors, so how could they not be tempted when they met such an outstanding one? At this point, they threw all their reputation aside! They had to steal him over!
Chu Liuyue: "…"
The few heavenly doctor elders aren't weak. This…
With the sudden change and the strange atmosphere, the spectating audience was also dazed. Aren't all the elders arrogant? Aren't the mentors all high and mighty? What is this situation?!
The incoming students who had yet to be tested had various expressions when they saw this situation. Some were envious, others were jealous, and there were also expressionless ones that people couldn't tell what they were thinking.
…
"Fourth Brother, look! I said that kid definitely could do it, right!" On the Xuan Master's side, Luo Yanming looked at the distant scene and couldn't help but laugh. However, his eyes still had surprise and shock. Previously, I already knew that Chu Yue was very outstanding, but I didn't expect that he could pass Elder Wan Zheng's test! With such talent, he will have a bright future ahead of him as long as he properly cultivates in the academy!
"Mm." Luo Yanlin nodded slightly, and his impression of that youngster did change.
Actually, he didn't really think much of the other party. But it now seemed like… that Chu Yue was even stronger than he had expected… At the very least, he hadn't seen these few elders openly snatching a student in a long time—especially these few arrogant heavenly doctors.
…
"I didn't expect there to be an underdog in this assessment," said Elder Bo Yan—who was standing in Dong Huang Clock Tower—in shock. "What a surprise!"
Even though he wasn't a heavenly doctor himself, he could tell that the young man called Chu Yue did have great talent.
At this point, Elder Bo Yan saw from the corner of his eyes that Rong Xiu seemed to be looking at that youngster as well. "What? Rong Xiu, do you have any opinions about that youngster?"
Rong Xiu retracted his vision, and his lips curled up slightly. "She's… indeed outstanding."
A flash of light quickly went across Elder Bo Yan's sharp and old eyes. "How rare to get your compliment!"
Rong Xiu never had much interest in such matters and wouldn't talk about anything he didn't care about. Besides, he was already a top talent on his own. There was only a handful of people that had the right to get his compliment and acknowledgment.
Rong Xiu smiled slightly. "She definitely has her abilities if she can make Elder Wan Zheng accept her."
"That's true." Elder Bo Yan stroked his beard.
Ever since the time Elder Wan Zheng couldn't win against the director, he became even stricter than before. This was also the reason why he couldn't accept any disciples for such a long period of time. After seeing such a raw talent, he felt that other people were average and not good enough.
Elder Wan Zheng is very stubborn and refuses to lower his standards. Now that he has finally met one he likes, he definitely won't give up just like this.
"The warrior's side seems to have quite a few students too."
They seemed like they had a lot of potential, but Rong Xiu just smiled slightly and acknowledged with an 'mm.' He didn't even look over at the warrior's side; this meant that he didn't care anymore.
Elder Bo Yan felt increasingly confused and couldn't help but glance at Chu Liuyue again. This… Rong Xiu's personality hasn't changed, and he still doesn't care about anything else. He seems to care about…
…
"Elders, thank you for thinking highly of me, but I did choose Elder Wan Zheng to be my mentor. Therefore…" Facing the strong attacks from the few elders, Chu Liuyue didn't seem nervous as she smiled politely and humbly rejected them one by one.
From start to end, she didn't seem to waver at all.
Seeing her determined attitude, the few elders were quite disappointed and gave up in the end. There is no choice. Even if we snatch people, we need to see if they are willing to be stolen!
Elder Wan Zheng laughed out loud delightfully and heartily. "Hahaha! You don't even have a chance to steal him away!"
It's rare to have such a precious talent. I have to nurture him properly! Thinking about how he had harshly punished Chu Liuyue the day before, Elder Wan Zheng felt complicated. Luckily, this child is broad-minded and didn't take that incident to heart. If not, I would've missed this huge opportunity!
"Kid, don't worry! With me around, other people won't dare to bully you in the academy from now on!" assured Elder Wan Zheng boldly.
Chu Liuyue smiled.
"Then, thank you, Eld—Mentor."
With the word 'mentor,' Elder Wan Zheng burst with joy. "Great, great, great! When we go back later, we'll complete the formalities!"
Elder Wan Zheng was overjoyed and was in an extremely good mood.
This caused the mood at the heavenly doctor's side to lighten up and become slightly strange. This was because… Chu Liuyue was the first student!
She was the first to go up, yet she performed so outstandingly. She had even successfully become Elder Wan Zheng's disciple. This undoubtedly caused extreme stress for the remaining few people.
They were all heavenly doctors and were extremely sensitive in such aspects. They could all tell that Chu Liuyue was indeed very strong in this area!
If it were them, they might not even be able to remember the two formulas! How could they even deduce the authenticity of the formulas and point out the problems like she did?
In no time, there were many people in envy and also people with jealousy.
After passing the test, Chu Liuyue took a step back, stood at the side, and let someone else have her spot.
"Next!" an elder yelled.
The remaining few people exchanged glances.
That woman stood up first. "I'll do it!"
Chu Liuyue looked at that woman.
She seemed to be in her twenties. Her skin was white, her nose bridge was high and sharp, and she had watery and mesmerizing eyes. However, the faint arrogance in her eyes made her seem much more distant.
She walked straight to Elder Wan Zheng. "Elder Wan Zheng, I also want to be your student."
She looked around and glanced at Chu Liuyue in a seemingly challenging manner.
Chu Liuyue chuckled lowly. Ling Xiao Academy's students are really competitive…
