It was an honorable status to be the teacher of a prince for the Cultivation practitioners of any sect.
The so-called motto in the Cultivation circle of "not being involved in the affairs of the mortal world" was only relevant when the affairs were insignificant.
As far as the disciples like Gu Qing and Xiang Wanshu of the major Cultivation sects were concerned, it was not an alluring honor for them to give up a few years of Cultivation to become a teacher of a prince.
Yet, it would be different to be the teacher of the emperor.
Most of all, Xiang Wanshu didn't make the comment merely from his own point of view.
By now Gu Qing knew that Xiang Wanshu had been to the Palace of Prince Jing Xin. As for why the Green Mountain Sect was suddenly involved in the affairs of the royal family, the Cultivation circle had many theories. The Center Sect that should be the first one to show their anxiety had been keeping their silence until now.
