"Before long, those old fellows who get word will send people to win him over, eager to take him as a disciple in advance."
...
Mist Hidden Academy is backed by the Mist Hidden Sect.
All matters concerning Mist Hidden Academy are managed entirely by the Dean, Murong Suifeng.
Within Mist Hidden Academy, there is a rule:
No matter how outstanding an enrolled student may be, they must reach the age of three thousand before they can enter the Mist Hidden Sect and be accepted as its disciples.
During this process, even if someone within the Mist Hidden Sect wishes to take a certain student as a disciple, they are not allowed to come over in person, so as not to disrupt the student's cultivation...
However, despite this rule, some people still find ways to bend it.
For example, sending lobbyists.
In the history of Mist Hidden Academy, such examples are legion.
