Invitation, Part 2

At that moment, a trace of envy and resentment rose in Yu Xiaogang's heart. Why wasn't he the one blessed with such talent?

But Yu Xiaogang quickly adjusted his mindset. After all, he had endured this humiliation for over thirty years; a few more years would make little difference. He then got down to business.

"Xiaowen, I can call you that, right?"

Although Yu Xiaogang had been freeloading at the academy all this time, he still bore the title of teacher. Though Ye Wen felt somewhat uncomfortable, he nodded anyway.

Yu Xiaogang smiled in satisfaction before continuing.

"It's like this, Xiaowen. You've been at Nuoding Academy for nearly six years now and will soon graduate. Have you given any thought to which academy you'll attend next?

With your cultivation, going to an intermediate academy would be purely a waste of time. I imagine you intend to go straight to an advanced academy.

In that case, a friend of mine runs an academy. Though it isn't an official advanced academy, its teaching staff is exceptionally strong. Would you be interested in studying there?"

Just moments ago, Ye Wen had been thinking about how to brush Yu Xiaogang off and get away. But upon hearing this, his heart immediately sank.

During his time at Nuoding Academy, Ye Wen had never made a move, and he had concealed his cultivation perfectly. He had not revealed even the slightest bit of information about his cultivation or Soul Rings to anyone.

So who had revealed information about his cultivation to Yu Xiaogang?

It certainly was not Xiao Wu or Huo Yu'er. Though Tang San possessed the Tang Sect inheritance from his previous life, if Ye Wen never made a move, he definitely could not see through Ye Wen's cultivation either.

That made the answer obvious.
