Xu Jin was in the queue at the National Taoist Institute's Foreign Affairs Hall when he heard about Lv Kun being specially recruited by the Great Academician Fang Shihan as a core disciple.
According to the rules of the National Taoist Institute, each of the twelve vice academicians had the right to specially recruit one inner court disciple.
And each of the four great academicians had the right to recruit one core disciple.
However, the special recruitment ended at the core disciple tier.
True disciples could only come from the autumn exam and were then assessed internally for advancement or demotion.
To be honest, Xu Jin had no good feelings toward Lv Kun and even despised him.
It wasn't for no reason: Lv Kun had nearly destroyed his path of cultivation, and regardless of his character or strength, Xu Jin had no choice but to dislike him.
Xu Jin was not petty, but he wasn't broad-minded enough to focus solely on the bigger picture either.
