Chapter 99: Yushan Academy

Just like that, Lin Yu stayed in the Yun Mansion, and he stayed for two whole days.

In these two days, Lin Yu transformed the spiritual root into a Demon Clan special edition, implanted it into Wangcai, and drove Wangcai to run and cultivate on Yushan every morning and evening.

At the beginning, Wangcai hadn't realized the benefits of cultivation and was very resistant to Lin Yu's training.

For this reason, it even complained and asked for help from the grandmother and little girls in the house.

But it was a pity that these authorities in its eyes couldn't make any waves in front of Lin Yu.

Even Little Ya, who stood up for it, was fascinated by something called a lollipop.

One second she was protesting with her hands on her hips, the next second she started saying "Brother Lin is so good"!

No way, in front of Lin Yu's "coercive power," Wangcai could only choose to accept reality.

But just after giving up resistance, it suddenly discovered that the feeling of running seemed quite good.

Especially after the first day of cultivation, there was a warm current in its body that could be controlled autonomously.

As long as this warm current flowed, its energy would be incomparably abundant, and its body would become light, as if it could fly into the sky and rush into the sky while running!

This was of course just Wangcai's illusion, but at the same time, it also proved that its mindset was changing.

At the same time, Lin Yu's several outings also made some people in Changancheng notice him.

Especially those families who were on good terms with the Yun Mansion, they all inquired about Lin Yu's identity in private.

But due to the grandmother's instructions, the servants of the Yun Mansion and even the entire Yun family village were not clear about Lin Yu's true identity, only knowing that he seemed to be an old friend of the Marquis, who had recently come to the Marquis Mansion to stay temporarily.

To tell the truth, the grandmother had already tried her best to block the news, but she couldn't stop Xiang Yunye himself from carrying a mysterious filter.

Even if it was just his old friend, those who knew Xiang Yunye's master would not help but think of Bai Yujing.

The second afternoon after arriving in the Tang Zhuan world.

Yushan Academy, in a simple courtyard on the back mountain, Xiang Yunye in brocade clothes was rolling up his sleeves, accompanying an old Daoist with white beard and hair in simple Daoist robes to take care of the herbs cultivated in the courtyard.

Outside the courtyard gate, which didn't seem to have any defensive ability, another old man with white hair and white beard was pacing back and forth.

In an instant, he had already walked three times outside the courtyard holding a book roll, seeming to want to attract Xiang Yunye's attention.

Finally, when the old man passed the courtyard gate for the fourth time, Xiang Yunye couldn't help but sigh, got up and looked at the old man and said: "Mountain Chief, how long have you been wandering here? Can't you just say what you have to say?"

"Then the old man can say it directly!"

Li Gang, who served as the Mountain Chief of the academy, immediately stopped, stepped into the courtyard, stared at Xiang Yunye and said: "Marquis Yun, the old man heard that a distinguished guest recently came to your mansion?"

Xiang Yunye nodded: "Correct."

Li Gang's eyes lit up: "Is it an old acquaintance from your sect?"

"..."

Xiang Yunye sighed, helplessly: "Why do you care about this too?"

Li Gang smiled: "Don't play dumb. The old man heard that the distinguished guest once drove your Wangcai to run on the mountain. Wangcai is the brother you recognized yourself. With your narrow-minded character, you would never hand it over to someone else casually."

"Unless... you absolutely trust that person!"

Xiang Yunye's heart jumped, and he said with dissatisfaction on his face: "How am I narrow-minded?"

"To tell you the truth, I ran to Old Immortal Sun here to hide from the quiet because of this matter."

"Old Immortal Sun is a person of the Daoist sect, yet he doesn't care about the identity of the distinguished guest in my house. You are the Crown Prince's teacher, the Mountain Chief of the academy, how can you be more excited than Old Immortal Sun?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Gang immediately changed his appearance, blowing his beard and staring: "Stinky boy, the old man just stated a speculation, and you started squeezing the old man, isn't this narrow-minded?"

"Alright, alright, since you mentioned the academy, then the old man will talk to you properly!"

"Since the Yushan Academy was built, as a teacher, how many times have you come to teach?"

"That so-called study of things, clearly it is knowledge that only you have mastered, but you, you are a dragon who sees the head but not the tail all day, occasionally showing up, and throwing down a few obscure textbooks, letting the old man and others study it themselves."

"Poor old man, I have to accompany the boys in the academy to do some experiments every day..."

"Hurry up, give the old man a bottom line. If it is really an old acquaintance from your sect, the old man is willing to pull down this old face and personally visit to invite this master to teach in the academy!"

Hearing the previous questioning, Xiang Yunye's face couldn't help but be a bit embarrassed.

But hearing the latter, he finally understood why Mr. Li Gang ran this trip!

It was specifically to pry the wall and invite a teacher!

Xiang Yunye smiled, shook his head, and said: "Then you really made the wrong idea..."

Li Gang raised his eyebrows, instantly turning anger into joy, and whispered: "Is it really an old acquaintance from your sect?"

Xiang Yunye's face stiffened.

Li Gang didn't care, and continued excitedly: "Listening to the villagers of the Yun family, that person is handsome and has an Immortal-like temperament. I think he shouldn't be old. Could it be a senior brother from the same sect as you?"

Xiang Yunye thought for a moment, sighed and said: "You said everything, what else can little brother say?"

Seeing Xiang Yunye didn't deny it, Li Gang's face became serious, and he said earnestly: "The old man really doesn't understand, since you don't want outsiders to know the identity of the distinguished guest in the mansion, why do you let him appear in Yushan?"

"The old man doesn't even have to leave the mountain gate to guess his identity. Do you think people in Changancheng can't guess it?"

Having said this, Li Gang lowered his voice and said: "Take the old man's advice, invite your senior brother to the academy. The old man will test his knowledge. If he is really a great talent, the old man is willing to abdicate and let the virtuous, handing over the position of Mountain Chief!"

"Don't rush to refuse. With your wisdom, you should understand that this is the safest and most stable approach..."

Obviously, Li Gang thought that Xiang Yunye hiding Lin Yu's identity was to protect Lin Yu.

But in fact, the only one who really cared about this was the Yun family grandmother.

Lin Yu himself didn't care about exposure at all. If he cared even a little bit, he couldn't have been discovered by mere mortals while supervising Wangcai's cultivation.

As for Xiang Yunye, he was just following his grandmother's wishes.

And after Wangcai implanted the spiritual root, other things became secondary.

In order to let Wangcai cultivate and achieve longevity, Xiang Yunye didn't care whether Lin Yu wanted to appear in the outside world. Otherwise, he wouldn't have performed so clumsily in front of Li Gang, just brushing it off a few times and defaulting to Lin Yu's identity.

Even so, Xiang Yunye was quite grateful for the concern shown by Mr. Li Gang.

He shook his head and said: "Sir's kindness, little brother accepts it for senior brother, but senior brother is different from a vulgar person like me. He is a true master outside the world, without any ties, only seeking freedom."

"This time coming to my mansion is just passing by this place, and coming to see me by the way."

"At most, in two days, he will leave Changan..."

Li Gang frowned: "Already out of the world, wanting to hide from the world again, it's not that easy!"

Xiang Yunye smiled: "Then let those who have intentions try!"

Seeing that Xiang Yunye really didn't care, Li Gang realized something was wrong.

He frowned, stared at Xiang Yunye for a while, and suddenly said: "If the old man remembers correctly, Marquis Yun once said that when he was under that master, he was the least promising one."

"At that time, the old man thought Marquis Yun was being humble, but now it seems that it is indeed true!"

Xiang Yunye said shamefully: "Little brother is playful, not skilled in learning, making sir laugh!"

Not right, absolutely not right!

Xiang Yunye's performance was so normal, it was extremely abnormal.

Li Gang frowned, was silent for a moment, and suddenly opened his mouth again: "Could it be that your senior brother really has some Immortal means?"

Xiang Yunye laughed upon hearing this, turned his head and looked at Sun Simiao who was still busy: "What do you think?"

Sun Simiao didn't look back and said: "The old Daoist has lived for so many years, and I really haven't seen any gods, but quite a few Daoist juniors call the old Daoist a god, and I don't know where the old Daoist is Immortal..."

Xiang Yunye shrugged: "You see, even the Old Immortal doesn't believe this!"

Not denying the senior brother's identity doesn't mean admitting he is an Immortal.

On this matter, Xiang Yunye still had to cover it up.

It wasn't for Lin Yu, mainly because he didn't want to cause too much disturbance.

Li Gang looked at him deeply, then sighed: "Since you have a plan in your chest, the old man won't say much. As long as you still remember the Yushan Academy, don't forget the academy in everything..."

Xiang Yunye understood Li Gang's meaning and immediately said with a serious face: "Little brother remembers!"

Li Gang nodded and turned to leave the simple courtyard.

After the old gentleman's back disappeared from view, Xiang Yunye turned his head and bowed respectfully to Sun Simiao:

"It's hard for the Daoist to cooperate with little brother to lie..."

Sun Simiao stopped what he was doing, turned around, and shook his head: "The Great Tang has been peaceful for only a few years, internal troubles are still there, and external troubles are not yet flat. It is definitely not a good time for Immortals to appear in the world."

"The old Daoist cooperating with you is just pitying the sentient beings in this world, not wanting to repeat the old events of Qin and Han!"

"Daoist friend is indeed high-righteous!"

A slightly unfamiliar voice came from behind.

Sun Simiao's expression moved, and he turned to look.

Only to see a white-clothed youth appear in the courtyard at some point, smiling slightly: "Passing by Changan this time to visit junior brother, hearing that Daoist friend is also in Yushan, Lin has been longing for a long time, and has long wanted to meet Daoist friend!"

"Now coming uninvited, I hope Sun Daoist friend won't blame me..."
