Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

In the Boundless Academy, in the residential area for human middle school students, Lu Yunshi woke up in his much more spacious room, looking quite languid.

Three days have passed since the elementary student assessment. Nothing unexpected happened during these three days, and Lu Yunshi smoothly entered the ranks of intermediate students with a ranking of ninety-ninth in the elementary student assessment. Naturally, he also moved into the new house.

As for why he is not among the top five or even the top ten?

Of course, there will only be five for the top five, and the rewards for sixth to tenth place are not really necessary. It would be better to take the extra crystals and sell them.

In the last hour of the final day of the assessment, Lu Yun and his group earned eight thousand gold coins just by selling crystals.

In Lu Yunshi's view, eight thousand gold coins were far more valuable than a reward for ranking sixth to tenth.

As for becoming famous?

This is meaningless to Lu Yunshi. Fame will not change his status and may even bring him trouble. Moreover, sixth and tenth place will not attract much attention. Few people will remember those who are not in first place.

Overall, the eight thousand gold coins are a better deal.

'Sure enough, after experiencing a better bed, there's no going back. If Lu Yunshi were to sleep in that dilapidated wooden hut again, he wouldn't want to. Forget about reminiscing about past hardships; who knows when or where he'll die? It's better to enjoy life while it lasts.'

Lu Yunshi touched the soft, warm mattress beneath his buttocks, feeling utterly bored.

He is still at the peak of the Body Tempering Realm. He did not take the pill that Lu Yuan gave him, firstly because Lu Yuan said that the pill could not directly help him enter the Spirit Gathering Realm, and secondly because he dared not take it directly.

Although the Blood Soul Curse was enough to control his life, it was hard to guarantee that the other party wouldn't do something else to add another layer of protection.

Lu Yunshi's gaze flickered with uncertainty as he recalled the last words Lu Yuan had said to him before leaving.

“Lu Yunshi, recalling the few times we’ve met and your past behavior, I’m quite certain that you’re not someone who should be confined by others. You’re born with the power to bring others to your side and will never be subservient to anyone. Such a person shouldn’t be a guard, because he’s prone to betraying his master.”

"On the contrary, she trusts you a lot, so you'd better do your job well and not force me to take action against you."

"Heh!" Lu Yunshi interrupted his memories and gave a bitter laugh. He always felt that Lu Yuan seemed to be somewhat wary of him.

Of course, this fear wasn't about what he might do to him, but rather about what he might do to Lu Yunxi.

But is this possible?

Regardless of whether Lu Yunxi would do it or not, her life was undoubtedly in the hands of the other party's whim. She knew what she could do and what she dared to do.

"There's really no need to worry," Lu Yunshi muttered to himself, straightening his clothes as he prepared to go to the backyard to check on his flowers and plants.

A little while later, just as Lu Yunshi arrived at the backyard, a figure pushed open his gate and walked in. It was Li Hongying, who had won first place in the elementary school assessment.

"Boss!"

In this assessment, the fifth, sixth, and seventh brothers dominated the top three spots, while the remaining two places were given to two other late-stage Body Tempering Realm cultivators who followed Lu Yunshi.

Of course, the rewards in the hands of these two cultivators were kept, but Lu Yunshi also gave them corresponding compensation, so they had no reason not to accept such a good thing that came for free.

As for the eighth and ninth brothers, they will continue to stay at the foot of the mountain for a while, as Lu Yunshi had previously arranged, until they have trained trustworthy people to take over their responsibilities before coming up.

As for their duties, it was Lu Yunshi's intention to continue to control the elementary students down the mountain to a certain extent.

Lu Yunshi had long known that there was nothing on the mountain that he could control, and those arrogant people wouldn't even bother with him.

But I needed to find someone to do things for me, so in the end I could only turn my attention to elementary students.

If those already on the mountain can't use it, then go find those who haven't come up yet.

Find trustworthy beginners, then spend money to train them, bestow favors upon them, and then find a way to send them up the mountain.

Some were willing to follow Lu Yunshi's orders after going up the mountain, while others were unwilling to continue following him, but were still willing to repay this kindness. At least most of them were like this, just like Brother Zhang who helped Lu Yunshi attract the law enforcement agency to deal with the crabs.

Lu Yunshi often jokes in front of Li Hongying and the others that he is a philanthropist, and this is not just talk. He is not only a philanthropist, but also an angel investor.

"Boss!" Li Hongying quickly arrived at the backyard and shouted as soon as she saw Lu Yunshi's back.

Now dressed in a middle school uniform, Li Hongying looked even more radiant and energetic than before, perhaps because of the change of location or because middle school uniforms come in a variety of colors.

"You're in such a hurry. We finally made it up the mountain, can't you at least put on some decorum?" Lu Yunshi, holding a watering can, looked at Li Hongying and scolded her.

"Boss, I can't help but be anxious. The mutual selection meeting for teachers and students is about to start. If you don't go now, you'll fall behind."

"The mutual selection meeting for teachers and students..." Lu Yunshi stopped what he was doing.

Ah... he remembered, there was such a conference.

The mutual selection meeting for teachers and students is a special benefit for junior students who have just passed the assessment.

The top 100 elementary students who pass the assessment will participate in a mutual selection ceremony with their teachers. If the mutual selection is completed, the elementary student will become that teacher's student.

If you ask what the purpose of this ceremony is, then the key lies with the teacher.

Regardless, those who pass the assessment can study on the mountain, but they are only guided by ordinary teachers, while the teachers at the mutual selection conference are the elite teachers of the academy, and their level is much lower.

Being guided by elite teachers will definitely improve your skills very quickly.

Moreover, elite teachers are all people who have special expertise in a certain area. If you become their student, you can also learn their exclusive skills.

In other words, it's the difference between regular classes and elite classes.

If I remember correctly, Shangguan Yue was an elite teacher, but she wasn't in the previous selection conferences. It wasn't that they didn't invite her, but that she didn't come.

Speaking of which, Lu Yunxi seems to be a student under some elite teacher.

"The mutual selection of teachers and students... This kind of thing has nothing to do with me." With Lu Yunshi's own talent, he felt that he had no need to go, which is why his memory of this matter was so faint.

The mutual selection process between teachers and students is not just about whether you choose someone; the key is that they choose you.

And this thing... why isn't it called "Academy's Good Master and Apprentice"?

"Hey! Let's go first and talk about it later. Boss, you're so capable, you'll definitely have a lot of people choosing you."

Seeing Lu Yunshi's reluctant expression, Li Hongying grabbed his forearm without a second thought, turned around and ran away. Lu Yunshi didn't even have time to react to the girl's actions, and felt as if his forearm was about to be torn off.

"Hey, I haven't finished splashing the flowers yet!"
