Ming Zhitian shook his head, "Since there is no result, why indulge in vain hope?"
He turned to look at her, with a slight sense of accusation, "You still haven't explained clearly why she is here? Making me send people to search for her everywhere? Your Hun Ying Tian Xue is indeed not simple."
Dongfang Min'er flicked her hair, "Isn't this to avoid awkwardness between you two? The root of a problem's evil is often forgotten by the river of time, so aren't you two burying the hatchet now?"
Ming Zhitian praised, "Then should I thank you?"
Dongfang Min'er immediately changed the subject, clearing her throat, "Ahem... I almost forgot I invited you here to be a coach for a day. This is your task for today, and I hope you can complete it well."
Ming Zhitian nodded, "Since I promised you, I can naturally do it. What do you need me to do?"
Dongfang Min'er, "It's very simple, just a formality. Today there will be a selection conference for mentors in the training grounds. The top one hundred students of my academy will register, and you will give them a lecture."
Ming Zhitian asked, "Mentor selection? Am I selecting them?"
"No," Dongfang Min'er said, "The students select the mentors. Of course, with your excellence, you will definitely be in high demand, so don't say you're too busy to handle it."
"Students select mentors? Your academy is truly quite strange," Ming Zhitian said dismissively, "Isn't it just teaching? Easy, simple."
Dongfang Min'er smiled enchantingly, "Those who can rank among the top hundred in Hun Ying Tian Xue are elites among elites. Don't just look at their cultivation, their minds are top-notch."
Ming Zhitian understood, "Then we'll have to see which lucky ones there are today."
Arriving at the training grounds...
At the entrance, the vice dean came to inform, "Dean, there is something that requires your attention."
Dongfang Min'er turned to Ming Zhitian, showing a slight apology, "I'm sorry, I'm busy with affairs and cannot be present..."
Ming Zhitian waved his hand slightly, "You go ahead and attend to your business."
Dongfang Min'er instructed the instructor beside her, "Jian Chi, this is our distinguished guest, Instructor Ming, whom I've invited. Do not neglect him."
Wang Jian Chi, "Yes! Dean."
He then respectfully turned to Ming Zhitian, "Instructor Ming, this way please."
Ming Zhitian nodded and followed him into the training grounds. He saw various elite mentors already in place, and a hundred elite students were successively lining up to register.
"This is it, please sit," Wang Jian Chi led him to a seat.
Ming Zhitian nodded and sat down. Wang Jian Chi said, "Please make yourself comfortable. I have to go and attend to other matters. I'll be over there. If you need anything, you can find me directly."
Ming Zhitian nodded, then leaned back in his chair to wait.
After a while...
None of the students thought highly of Ming Zhitian, finding him too young. He looked the same age as them, so why was he seated in a mentor's seat? While they had to work hard to start as students?
Soon, eight or nine out of the hundred elite students had already rushed to register with various elite mentors. The mentors' disdainful gazes still swept towards Ming Zhitian: "I heard this guy got in through connections."
"I saw him. The dean personally brought him, and Wang Jian Chi escorted him in."
"But he's just famous for nothing. Look, not a single student has signed up."
Ming Zhitian closed his eyes to rest, not dwelling on it. It was even better if no one came; he could have some peace and quiet.
The students who had registered left, casting peculiar glances at the lone figure. Wang Jian Chi finished his work, and the selection conference in the training grounds was nearing its end.
He then walked over to Ming Zhitian, "Instructor Ming, are you leaving?"
Ming Zhitian slowly opened his eyes, "Let's go back."
