Chapter 880

As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. It was normal for a newcomer like Xu Tian who had just entered the Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa to be eager to try and eye the high-level missions.

There was once a newcomer who accepted a Super Special mission and even boasted that he would definitely be able to complete it smoothly.

Then Yao Xuefei never saw that newcomer in the villa again.

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister. I will consider it." Xu Tian nodded and smiled. "I won't act rashly."

"That's good." Yao Xuefei breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this newcomer was not bad; at least he listened to advice.

"By the way, if you decide which bounty mission to take, Junior, you can also come find me. I don't have much to do lately, so I can accompany you." Yao Xuefei touched her nose and said with some embarrassment, "Although I'm only one level higher than you, I've already done many Level 4 missions, so I'm quite experienced. And if the two of us do the mission together, we'll have someone to help if we really encounter any danger."

Xu Tian couldn't help but look at this girl a few more times. Nowadays, there really weren't many people like her who didn't judge people by their appearance and were enthusiastic and kind.

"Thank you, but I still need to consider what mission to take."

"Hmm, you do need to consider it carefully." Yao Xuefei didn't mind this subtle refusal from Xu Tian. "Choosing a mission is also a very important part of being able to complete it successfully."

Xu Tian looked sideways at the bulletin board in front of him again.

In fact, there were many Level 1 missions on it that he could complete, and it would be best to take the one going to Huaxia as well.

The case involving Yan Qingxue and Yan Jinsong could not be delayed any longer.

He would take people back and resolve the matters there all at once.

"Xu Tian, why are you here?"

The instructor who brought Xu Tian in walked over in a hurry.

"The assessment for the new students over there already has results. Next, we need to assign classes for you Level 4 bounty hunters. Come over quickly."

Hearing this, Xu Tian followed the instructor toward a tall building on the opposite side.

After entering the tall building, the first thing that came into view was a spacious office.

Sitting on the grand armchair in the office was a white-haired old man wearing a traditional black training suit.

"Old Su, he is Xu Tian, recommended by Queen Yue." The instructor came to the old man and introduced him.

The old man, who was imposing without being angry, looked at Xu Tian expressionlessly and nodded slightly, but did not show any other reaction.

Xu Tian waited patiently for a while. After about another minute, the old man spoke slowly.

"You were recommended by Yue Moli?"

"Exactly." Xu Tian nodded and replied.

"That girl and I are old acquaintances. Since she recommended you, I will accept you as an outer-court disciple. From now on, you must be diligent and hardworking in the villa to be worthy of your current status." Old Su said in a deep voice.

"Xu Tian, you are so lucky. Our Old Su is a high-level elder of the Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa. Many people beg to be his apprentice and don't have the chance. Now that he can accept you as an outer-court disciple, this is your opportunity..." The instructor exclaimed in surprise.

Xu Tian looked blank.

Outer-court disciple?

How did he become an outer-court disciple of the old man in front of him?

A so-called outer-court disciple is one who does not formally apprentice through a ceremony. Although they are counted under the master's name, they are not formal disciples. Because there is no formal apprenticeship ceremony, the master does not need to spend much effort on the disciple, so there is no limit to the number of such outer-court disciples.

Of course, if it is a highly respected elder, it is not an easy task to become an outer-court disciple.

"Alright, you go down first. If there is anything, I will have someone notify you." Old Su stared at Xu Tian's face for a long time, a flash of complex emotion appearing in his eyes, and then he turned his head away and waved his hand at Xu Tian.

"Then we will leave first." The instructor took the bewildered Xu Tian and left the office.

"Xu Tian, thanks to Queen Yue, you have such an opportunity." The instructor was still very emotional. "Don't look at the fact that there is no limit to the number of outer-court disciples, but Old Su does not accept disciples easily. Even for outer-court disciples who don't apprentice, they need to go through strict selection and assessment."

"For a newcomer like you who just entered the villa to be able to become Old Su's outer-court disciple is a great honor!"

"Queen Yue said your talent is not bad. As long as you are willing to be down-to-earth and practice diligently, you will definitely have a bright future under Old Su."

"Do you know that among Old Su's formal disciples, there are even Special-level bounty hunters..."

Xu Tian smiled awkwardly and didn't respond.

He didn't want to apprentice at all...

"Actually, there are not many formal disciples under Old Su. Even though he is a high-level elder of the Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa, because the number is too small, his overall strength is not as good as another elder who was his contemporary."

Xu Tian understood. It seems that this Old Su has strict requirements for disciples, focusing on quality rather than quantity. But looking at the entire Wuji Island, although there are many experts, there are not many true geniuses.

And even if one has extremely high attainments in martial arts, they may not necessarily enter the industry to become a bounty hunter or come to apprentice.

Therefore, the disciples under Old Su would naturally be crushed in terms of comprehensive strength by the disciples of those elders who cast a wide net.

It's just that he had no friendship with this Old Su, so naturally, he had no interest in other people's private affairs.

"Actually, Old Su once had a disciple with extremely high talent who was a legendary figure in the Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa and broke many records in the villa, but it's a pity that the disciple suddenly disappeared and there has been no news for so many years."

The instructor thought of something and sighed.

"Old Su has also mainly focused his energy on finding his beloved disciple in recent years, spending a lot of manpower and material resources, but has always gained nothing..."

"Such a powerful figure should be very famous, right?" Xu Tian pondered slightly and then asked curiously, "Who is he?"

"Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask. You have already entered the Xuanwu Tang family's mountain villa. After a long time, you will know sooner or later." The instructor did not directly tell Xu Tian the identity of Old Su's high-level disciple.

"I will take you to the teaching building now. From now on, you will have to rely on your own efforts." The instructor took Xu Tian out of the magnificent building and walked along the main road for about ten minutes.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the teaching area within the villa.

"That room over there is where you Level 4 bounty hunters study. You will learn theoretical knowledge here."

"But before that, I still want to warn you that even if you are a talent recommended by Queen Yue, you cannot violate the rules here."

"For a newcomer like you, if you cause any trouble in the villa, no one will protect you. If you make a big mistake, even the face of Queen Yue and Old Su may not be useful."

The instructor warned Xu Tian a few more times before leaving.

Xu Tian walked into the auditorium that could accommodate hundreds of people and found that it was already full of people.

Standing on the podium in front of the auditorium was a man with dark skin, who should be the instructor responsible for their theoretical knowledge.

When he saw Xu Tian, his face sank, and he asked sternly.

"You are late. New students cannot be without rules!"
