If Wang Ye can make more friends in this process, it is indeed feasible.

So, Shi Heng nodded slightly and agreed.

...

Nighttime.

Zhou Residence.

The Zhou Residence was bustling today.

Shi Heng and Wang Ye arrived at the entrance of the Zhou Residence, and just as they handed over the invitation they received from Zhou Xuan Ying, a voice came.

"Master, Grand Master."

It was Han Hong's voice.

Shi Heng and Wang Ye turned their heads and saw Han Hong with Qiu Te.

Wang Ye and the others were not surprised by their arrival.

Han Hong and Qiu Te had performed quite well in their respective generations, especially Han Hong, who, having let go of previous obsessions, had greatly improved his feng shui skills in just a few days.

Today, even if Shi Heng and Wang Ye did not attend as Patrol Commander,

Zhou Xuan Ying would surely deliver the invitation to them.

"Let's go in together."

Shi Heng greeted Han Hong, and the four of them proceeded into the Zhou's Courtyard.

In the Zhou's Courtyard.

Many feng shui practitioners were already gathered here.

Judging from their distribution, most were grouped by age.

And in each small group, there was always one person being admired by the others.

Clearly.

It was a case of a crowd fawning over a bigwig.

With the arrival of Shi Heng and Han Hong, many people turned their attention this way.

Quite a few walked towards Shi Heng and Han Hong, wanting to exchange a few words with Shi Heng.

After all, both Shi Heng and Han Hong held high status in the feng shui path and were seen as role models by some.

Those who didn't come over turned their attention to Wang Ye.

They all recognized Qiu Te.

But Wang Ye was unfamiliar to them.

Especially since Wang Ye appeared right next to Shi Heng.

It piqued more discussion.

"Who's that young man standing next to Shi Heng?"

"No idea, but anyone who can stand next to Shi Heng must have a good relationship with him."

"Could it be a newcomer that Shi Heng has taken a liking to recently? Being appreciated by Shi Heng, so he brought him specifically to meet people and make friends?"

In their discussions, no one thought Wang Ye was Shi Heng's disciple.

Because Shi Heng hadn't taken any disciples for a long time.

Prodigies choosing disciples are very selective.

They only take on those they favor.

If they don't find the person suitable, no amount of money would make these prodigies take disciples.

Unless forced by a sufficiently powerful status and strength.

But if the other party is already that strong, their juniors wouldn't lack guidance and there'd be no need for such measures.

While they were discussing, a magician returning from the Patrol Commander spoke up: "The person beside Shi Heng? I know him, he's called Wang Ye."

That statement.

Instantly attracted the attention of those discussing.

"Really?"

"Then what's his relationship with Senior Shi?"

The Patrol Commander magician glanced at someone who wasn't participating in the discussion. Being watched by so many, some with higher status than his, made him proud.

He raised his head slightly with pride, his words filled with self-satisfaction, and spoke louder: "He's Shi Heng's disciple, Wang Ye."

Disciple!

The moment the Patrol Commander magician said this, many magicians' expressions changed.

Incredible.

Surprised.

Various emotions appeared on their faces.

The Patrol Commander magician observed these changes with some self-satisfaction, having guessed beforehand that this would be their reaction.

However.

Before he could revel for long, the man he had glanced at stood up, approached him, looked down at him, and coldly said:

"I won't let you slander Senior Shi."

"Slander?"

The Patrol Commander magician was instantly displeased: "What do you mean I'm slandering?"

"Ha!"

The man sneered: "You should know, Senior Shi's eye for disciples is much sharper than most."

"Isn't my talent strong enough?"

People around nodded one after another.

This man's name was Ting Yun.

His talent in feng shui surpassed even Qiu Te.

Among the new generation of prodigies, he was ranked in the top three.

In this Zhou's Courtyard, if Ting Yun's talent and strength were second, no one dared claim first.

Yet even then, when he sought to become Shi Heng's disciple, he was directly refused by Shi Heng.

Which shows.

Shi Heng's standards for a disciple are extremely high.

Ting Yun's words made those who were surprised realize.

Indeed.

Shi Heng's standards for disciples were so high.

And yet Wang Ye, mentioned by the Patrol Commander magician, was an unknown figure, hardly someone who could catch Shi Heng's eye.

Suddenly.

These magicians looked at the Patrol Commander magician with disdain.

"Turns out it was all a lie, speaking so convincingly, yet it's all fake."

"I trusted what you said as a Patrol Commander magician, thinking you wouldn't lie, yet you deceived us. Not all Patrol Commander people can be trusted."

"I just had a moment of stupidity, believing you. In hindsight, I shouldn't have trusted you. Senior Shi, with his pride, if he were to take a disciple, it would surely be a genius, not some obscure nobody."

Being watched with scornful eyes by so many magicians, the stark contrast between before and now made the Patrol Commander magician uncomfortable.

Initially, it was these people who prompted him to speak.

Now, after he spoke,

They didn't believe him.

Wasn't it their problem?

"What I'm saying is true, and he is indeed an exceptional talent," the Patrol Commander magician explained: "Today, I personally saw Grand Tutor Zhou accompany Senior Shi and Wang Ye out, and Grand Tutor Zhou kept patting Wang Ye's shoulder, showing great appreciation, admiration, and even some reluctance."
