Just as Feng Jun was wearing a strange expression, someone spoke up from not far away. "Since the choice has been made, disperse."
Everyone turned to look and saw the distinguished female guest in Qingyi whose name they did not know.
Though they did not know her name, everyone present knew full well that she was at least an Emergence from Dust Adept. Upon hearing her words, they could only leave.
Tian Wanjun remained where she was. After hesitating for a moment, Tian Lewen stayed as well, while Tian Yang Ni led the Tian Family away.
Feng Jun glanced at Tian Wanjun and spoke gravely. "Go back and inform your family that you have been selected for now. Make the necessary arrangements. But you only have four years left, so remember to make the most of them... You do not have much time."
Tian Wanjun froze for a moment, then cupped her hands toward Feng Jun. "Thank you for your consideration, Master. I'll be back shortly."
Feng Jun waved a hand and said blandly, "You have not entered the Qi Refining Stage yet, so you are not qualified to call me Master."
Tian Wanjun turned and left. Tian Lewen paused before hurrying after her. Only after they had gone some distance did he speak. "Wanjun, this is your opportunity. You must seize it. If you need anything, remember to tell me."
"Mm." Tian Wanjun nodded, but inwardly she pondered, Four years... You want me to make the most of them, but how am I supposed to do that?
After they left, Feng Jun invited Kong Ziyi to sit beneath the eaves for tea. Sumiao also sat down without any ceremony.
When the hot tea arrived, Kong Ziyi asked directly, "Mountain Lord, what aptitude does the person you chose possess?"
