Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong was stunned for a moment.
"By the way, if you're not here to befriend Peach Garden Academy, then what are you here for?" Feng Xiaotian suddenly asked.
Liu Erlong turned and walked in the direction Feng Xiaotian had pointed, leaving only one sentence:
"I'm here to become a disciple."
"Become a disciple?"
Watching the beautiful woman's retreating figure in the drizzling rain, Feng Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of something:
"Become a disciple? She can even become a disciple? Oh right, they were all taught by Peach Garden Academy. Since I can't beat them, doesn't that mean I can only join them?"
"I heard that three students from Plant Academy go to Camp One every evening to study, and their combat records are getting better and better. That person from Peach Garden Academy might really have something."
"This older sister is probably thirty years old, right? If she can become a disciple, then so can I!"
Feng Xiaotian suddenly stood up and also walked towards Peach Garden Academy.
When Feng Xiaotian arrived outside Camp One, he saw the beautiful woman who had asked him for directions kneeling in the muddy ground outside the camp:
"Su Teacher, student Liu Erlong has come to become a disciple."
"This time, even if Su Teacher slays Erlong with a single sword here, Erlong will not leave by a single step."
The beautiful woman's umbrella fell into the mud, and the rain quickly soaked her hair.
From inside Camp One, a burly man walked out. It was Wang Sheng. He looked at Liu Erlong:
"Dean Liu, the teacher made it very clear last time. Our Peach Garden Academy cannot accommodate you, nor do we allow those with ulterior motives to enroll. You are a person of status and position; why go to such lengths?"
Liu Erlong said with a deep breath: "I have already understood the meaning of the two sentences Su Teacher taught me earlier. This time, I truly came to seek knowledge."
Wang Sheng's voice grew colder: "No, you don't understand. If you truly understood, you wouldn't be kneeling here in this manner. If you don't leave, the only one who will lose face is yourself."
Splash, splash~
At this moment, the rain fell even harder.
A faint ripple appeared in the beautiful woman's eyes, but she did not get up and leave. Instead, with a thud, she touched her head to the ground, bowing deeply to seek a teacher:
"As long as Su Teacher is unwilling to accept Erlong, Erlong will kneel here for a day, until Su Teacher is willing to accept me."
"Stubborn! How can you be even more obtuse than me!"
Wang Sheng flicked his sleeve and left.
…
"Becoming a disciple of Taoyuan is actually this difficult?!"
"Dean? This beautiful woman is even a dean of an academy?"
"Even a dean came to become a disciple? How competitive is this?"
"They won't even accept a dean. If I were to become a disciple… Hiss, no, no, no. Although I, Feng Xiaotian, can't defeat Xiao Wu, I am still a genius. To be rejected after such a humiliating kowtow to become a disciple would be too embarrassing. Would Huo Wu still look up to me then?"
Feng Xiaotian imagined himself kowtowing to become a disciple, kneeling endlessly, attracting students from other academies to watch and mock him. The feeling, just thinking about it, was humiliating.
I'm out, I'm out.
I'll figure out a way to break Xiao Wu's fist technique eventually!
…
Su Ran originally thought that a woman with a fiery temperament like Liu Erlong would definitely not be able to endure criticism and would leave on her own within a couple of days.
Unexpectedly, Liu Erlong's resolve this time was surprisingly firm.
Regardless of wind, sun, or pouring rain, she simply knelt there, not moving an inch.
Even though many students and teachers from the promotion rounds pointed and whispered about her.
The rain soaked her clothes, clinging tightly to her fiery body, causing many boys to drool.
Until a figure walked up to her, draped an outer robe over her to cover her body, and then set down a bowl of warm rice, saying indifferently:
"The teacher said that in your situation, a gentleman does not accept, and a saintly person does not yield. However, the teacher does not wish to be a saint, so no matter how long you kneel, the teacher will not accept you. You should go back; why seek hardship?"
"The teacher has already told us about your situation with Jade Puppy. If a person truly loves you, would he bear to see you endure ten years of loneliness? And would he bear to see you abandon your students and academy, letting you suffer here?"
"With all due respect, this is simply not something a responsible and accountable man would do. He is not worthy of your love, and you simply do not understand self-respect and self-love."
Liu Erlong slightly raised her head. Is it wrong to love someone?
Can she be blamed? A woman alone for over ten years, enduring unbearable loneliness and desire, what's wrong with being impulsive for love?
