    The five stood on the walkway.


    Gu Yue Jiao Sanughed kindly and said to Fang Yuan, “Little brother Fang Yuan, your performance


    really impressed all of us. It seems we did a correct thing inviting you to join us. You have just


    graduated from the academy, and might be unclear of some things. Let me introduce you to them.”


    “Firstly, the n missions, each Gu Master mustplete at least one a month. The more you


    complete and the more perfect it is, the higher your evaluation.”


    “Secondly, the missions are distributed by the internal affairs hall or the external affair hall, each Gu


    Master can only ept one. Once epted, they mustplete it.”


    “Thirdly, under special conditions, a Gu Master may choose to abandon a mission, but that will cause


    their evaluation to fall greatly. At the same time, Rank one Gu Masters have no rights to give up, and


    only Rank two Gu Masters do. But they can only abandon one mission a year.”


    “Fourth, the n’s evaluation is very important. It concerns your future in the n, and the higher your


    evaluation, the greater your future and the brighter it is.”


    Fang Yuan listened, nodding. These things were already memorized by him. Gu Yue Jiao San was


    right and did not misdirect him, but many key contents were not spoken.


    “Alright, the permafrost decayed soil’s mission has just beenpleted. Next, I epted a wild deer


    hunting mission. The danger is low, so it is suitable for you to practice.” Jiao San said to Fang Yuan.


    Fang Yuanughed coldly in his heart, but said, “Thank you for your concern, group leader.”


    Gu Yue Kong Jing immediately followed up, “Little brother Fang Yuan, you should really properly thank


    the group leader. Although simple missions are easilypleted, they have a small reward. The group


    leader’s actions are to take care of you.”


    The other two female Gu Masters also spoke, “Yeah, yeah, little brother Fang Yuan, action speaks


    louder than words. Why don’t you thank the group leader by treating him to lunch.”


    “Little brother Fang Yuan, you just left the academy, society isplicated. Human rtionship is very


    important. If you don’t know anything, just ask us during lunch.”


    Gu Yue Jiao Sanughed, purposely waving his hand, “Don’t put him in a spot, he just left the


    academy, he must be tight on primeval stones.”


    “How can that be! Besides, just being the first ce in the year end exam gave him a hundred primeval


    stones as reward right?” A female Gu Master purposely said, and then showed an expression of envy,


    “I’m really envious of you, a hundred primeval stones is a huge sum even to us.”


    “Group leader, you’ve mistaken our little brother Fang Yuan. How can he be so stingy. Am I right, little


    brother Fang Yuan?” Gu Yue Kong Jingughed heartily, as if he was very happy.


    Another female Gu Master got nearer to Fang Yuan, as if they had a close rtionship, saying, ” Little


    brother Fang Yuan, a word of advice. You can choose not to suck up to us, but the group leader, you


    have to. You know, our group’s evaluation has a portion written by the group leader. If he says you’re


    outstanding, you’re outstanding. If he says you performed badly, it means you really performed badly.”


    “That’s right, that’s right. Evaluation is very important to us Gu Masters, we need at least an


    outstanding evaluation to be noticed by the higher-ups. In the future where we have sufficient


    achievements, we would be able to work for several years less!” Kong Jing immediately followed up.


    Throughout the entire process, Gu Yue Jiao San was smiling and watching.


    Finally he waved his hand with a kind expression andughingly said, “Ah, don’t speak nonsense. I am


    always impartial when writing my evaluation, and will not be easily bribed by you. But don’t worry Fang


    Yuan, you are a neer, so now that you’re in our group, I will take good care of your evaluation.”


    If it were a normal teenager, they would’ve been led by the nose by these few people, feeling touched


    secretly. They are bullying a neer’s ignorance and naivety.


    But Fang Yuan’s iris was calm as the sea.


    Group leader being involved in the member’s evaluation, that was the truth. This is the n’s system,


    giving the authority to the group leader, so that they can manage each small group.


    But it is not as severe as these people said.


    For the n evaluation, the group leader’s evaluation is only a very small portion, and it is still mostly


    attributed to the n’s internal affairs hall.


    Or rather, even if the group leader had a great influence on it, so what?


    Fang Yuan didn’t give a damn about the evaluation.


    He had already decided — quickly raise his cultivation, reach Rank three, and then leave this ce. He


    had never thought of staying in this n for over a hundred years to slog his life away.


    To these ignorant and lowly peasants, the evaluation was the most important thing. But to Fang Yuan, it


    was lower than dog shit!


    Thus, their somewhat threatening tone was of no use to Fang Yuan.

    “I understand what you all have said. I still have something on, so I’ll take my leave,” Fang Yuan after


    being quiet for a while, said.


    Eh?


    At once, the four Gu Masters showed a shocked expression.


    “What is the meaning of this? Did you not hear what we said earlier?” A female Gu Master stared with


    her eyes wide, screaming in her heart.


    “Is yourprehension ability really okay?” Gu Yue Kong Jing at this moment, really wanted to grab


    Fang Yuan by the cor and ask him.


    Jiao San’s mouth twitched.


    Fang Yuan’s indifference caused their self-directed performance to look like a joke. It made the scheme


    that they set up be aughingstock.


    Seeing Fang Yuan turning around and walking away, the fury in his heart zed on.


    “Come on Fang Yuan, don’t leave so quickly, don’t listen to their nonsense.” Jiao San controlled his


    temper and conjured a smile, quickly chasing up and blocking Fang Yuan, “You’re going to rent a


    house right? Let us go with you. I have some personal rtions, I am more familiar with the rental


    situation.”


    “I am indeed going to rent a house, I can’t stay at the hostel anymore, do you have any ideas?” Fang


    Yuan raised his eyebrows, asking calmly.


    “I know a few houses that are considerably cheap, and with good location.” Jiao San smiled, leading


    the way.


    …


    “My house, fifteen primeval stones a month, no second price.”


    “Pfft, renting my house with eight primeval stones? In your dreams.”


    “You must pay a deposit, 25% deposit. Other vendors are doing this too.”


    “My house has good Feng Shui, and its quiet at night. More importantly, it is facing the n leader’s


    pavilion, you know how good the location is. It is really cheap, only twenty-five primeval stones a


    month.”


    All the way until night time, Fang Yuan did not find a house to stay.


    “Little brother Fang Yuan, you’re too stingy. The vige is only so big, the prices are all like this.”


    “In my opinion, you should get the house near the n leader’s pavilion, the second floor is very


    spacious and the scenery is nice. Little brother Fang Yuan, don’t be so thrifty, it is only twenty-five


    primeval stones. The reward that you got is enough for you to stay four months.”


    The two female Gu Masters continued to urge him on with ill intent.


    Fang Yuan shook his head, “I do not have many primeval stones, I cannot be wasteful.”


    “Then rent an underground apartment, it’s cheaper.” Gu Yue Kong Jing’s eyes shone with cold


    brilliance, suggesting.


    Fang Yuan snorted in his heart, this Kong Jing has such a vile heart!


    The vige is already high in precipitation, and now that it is winter, the underground apartments would


    have poor airflow, and tenants would easily catch a cold. Even if there aren’t diseases, it would cause


    problems in the long term.


    Seeing that Fang Yuan kept his silence, Jiao San said, “Actually the big hall’s first floor is good too. Co-


    staying with other people causes the rent to reduce as well.


    Fang Yuan shook his head, “I want to stay alone, I do not like to stay with others.”


    Gu Yue Kong Jing snorted, saying unhappily, “You don’t want this, you don’t want that. I’m not trying to


    scold you, little brother Fang Yuan, but you’re too picky and expect too much. With such high


    standards, it is not realistic.”


    Fang Yuan listened,ughing coldly in his heart while thinking, “Even if they fulfil the criteria, I would not


    ept any house you rmend.”


    His act of pacifying them was just for the sake of being careful, finding out if there are any traps.


    Just as Fang Yuan was about to leave, Mother Shen appeared.


    “Young master Fang Yuan, I finally found you. The academy can no longer be stayed at, and the old


    master and his wife have already prepared a banquet, specifically asking me to invite you home.


    Staying at home is so much better, there is no need for you to go about renting houses outside,” She


    urged.


    Finally here……


    Fang Yuanughed coldly in his heart, this Mother Shen really found a good time. Finding him here at


    once, someone must have notified her!


    Just as he had expected, the masterminds were his uncle and aunt!


    And Jiao San was the chain that his uncle and aunt created to bind him.


    Fang Yuan’s silence looked like hesitation.


    “Fang Yuan, why don’t you stay at your uncle and aunt’s house, why make life difficult? Renting a


    house will spend a lot of primeval stones.” Gu Yue Jiao San spoke in a ‘concerned’ manner at an


    appropriate juncture as he looked at Fang Yuan, his eyes shining ominously.
