"Come out! You've been peeping for so long. Haven't you seen enough? "
After Iron Egg left, Li Zexuan didn't leave immediately. He put his hands behind his back and said calmly to the air.
Silence, complete silence!
It seemed like Li Zexuan heard wrongly.
After three breaths, Li Zexuan still didn't leave and stood rooted to the ground.
"Haha! The Marquis of Yong 'an is so alert! I've only been here for a short while and you've already noticed me. Admirable! Admirable! "
A person suddenly jumped down from the tree behind Li Zexuan. Who else could it be but the bearded man?
"Heh! Senior, are you also like this when you're a guest at Duke Wei's house? "
Li Zexuan turned around and sneered at the bearded man.
"Uh …"
The bearded man was speechless. He was a pirate, but he wasn't a thief! How could he do this kind of sneaky and shady business often?
"Hmph! From what I know, Senior came to the academy early in the morning, right? "
Li Zexuan exposed the bearded man's lie mercilessly.
Actually, when he was teaching Taiji Fist in the morning, he felt a little uncomfortable, as if someone was peeping on him.
In the modern world, people often joked that if looks could kill, someone would definitely die a horrible death.
In this life, at this moment, Li Zexuan truly experienced the power of looks.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"
The bearded man was instantly embarrassed after his lie was exposed. However, his face didn't even turn red. It was mainly because his face was dark, and it wasn't easy to see that he was red.
"I saw that the Marquis of Yong 'an's fist technique was quite magical and was excited to see it. That's why I couldn't help but take a few more glances!"
The bearded man explained awkwardly.
"Haha! Then, Senior, have you heard of the saying 'Dao is not passed down to the wrong person, and Dao is not passed down to the wrong person?' No matter how exquisite this Marquis' Taiji Fist is, it's not very good for Senior to secretly learn it like this, right? "
Li Zexuan didn't give up. He was very angry about the sudden intrusion of the bearded man. Yanhuang College was his blood, sweat, and tears. He wouldn't allow people with strong martial arts to treat this place as their own backyard, coming and going as they pleased!
"This … Marquis Yong 'an, you've already taught the Taiji Fist to so many people, I …"
Regardless of the era, secretly learning from others was despised by the people of Jianghu. The bearded man wasn't willing to be labeled with such a label. Thus, he glared and defended himself.
"Hmph! This Marquis only imparted it to people from Yanhuang College. Have I ever said that I would impart it to outsiders? "
Li Zexuan sneered.
The bearded man's expression froze, and he was instantly speechless. Taking without permission was stealing, and he was learning without permission. It was no different from stealing!
"Hehe, you can't say it like that! I'm here today to tell you that I've decided to become a guard of Yanhuang College. In that case, I can't be considered an outsider, right? "
Suddenly, the bearded man's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile.
Li Zexuan's expression didn't change, but he was shocked in his heart. He never thought that the Curly-Bearded Guest would actually sacrifice a year of his freedom for a mere sea map. Was it really worth it?
"Senior, have you really thought it through?"
Li Zexuan stared at the bearded man and asked in a deep voice.
"Of course, I always mean what I say!"
The bearded man replied with a look of certainty.
In fact, Li Zexuan was mistaken. The reason why the bearded man agreed to such a harsh request, other than the sea map, was that he saw hope for a breakthrough from Yanhuang College, Taiji Fist, and Li Zexuan. He had been stuck in the half-step Grandmaster realm for several years.
To some extent, the bearded man's situation was very similar to Cheng Chumo's. They were both people who had strength, but couldn't use it in the right place. The theory of Taiji Yin and Yang that Li Zexuan had just told Cheng Chumo made the bearded man, who didn't have any hope of breaking through, suddenly see a tiny bit of hope. Therefore, he agreed to join Yanhuang College with Li Zexuan.
Although becoming a guard didn't sound good, in order to break through, it was all worth it.
It wasn't an exaggeration, because ordinary people would never be able to understand the desire of a top master to break through, especially now that there was only one Grandmaster left in the martial arts world of the Central Plains. The bearded man was eager to find a sense of "existence".
"Senior, don't you think that being a guard in the college is a bit of an insult to your identity?"
Li Zexuan asked faintly.
"Huh? Insult? That's not necessarily true, right? "
If it was in the past, the bearded man would definitely feel that being a guard in Yanhuang College would weaken his prestige. However, after a few days of contact, he realized that Yanhuang College was really a place of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Ordinary people wouldn't think that a small mountain like Yunshan would have a Grandmaster Peak, a Grandmaster Middle-stage (whose combat strength was close to that of a Grandmaster Peak), and thirty to forty experts in the Qi Transformation Realm. This strength could be regarded as the strength of a superior sect in the martial arts world!
But don't forget that Yunshan wasn't a sect in the martial arts world. It was a place for academics, which was the most deceptive! Two days ago, when the bearded man was beaten to the ground, he had cursed in his heart, "Say, why are you hiding so many experts in a place for teaching?" It made him fail to show off, and instead he was attacked, calling Li Zexuan a fraud!
"Rest assured, Marquis Yong 'an. Since I've agreed to be a guard in Yanhuang College, I'll definitely do my best. In the future, if anyone dares to cause trouble in Yunshan, I'll teach them a lesson!"
The bearded man was a little worried that Li Zexuan wouldn't agree, so he quickly expressed his stance solemnly.
In the eyes of many people, it was embarrassing for him to be a guard in Yanhuang College. However, the bearded man was thinking that if he, a half-step Grandmaster, wanted to be a guard in Yanhuang College and was rejected, wouldn't that be even more embarrassing?
"Alright! Since senior insists, then I welcome you on behalf of Yanhuang College! Senior, you can call me Yamachō like everyone else in the future! "
Li Zexuan thought about it seriously and realized that this matter was beneficial to him, so he smiled and said to the bearded man.
"Haha! Then Yamachō, you can just call me Zhang San in the future! In terms of strength, you and I should be on the same level! "
Zhang Zhongjian's surname was Zhang Xingsan, and his red beard was like a dragon. Hence, he was known as the bearded man. Zhang San was a name that very few people would call him.
In the martial arts world, strength had always been important, not age. Li Zexuan was already a Middle-stage Grandmaster at a young age, so he was completely worthy of being on the same level as the bearded man.
"No, I'll call you Mr. Zhang San! In the future, other than being a guard in the college, I hope you can also be a martial arts instructor in the college. If there are any martial arts enthusiasts in the college who want to learn from you, I hope you can teach them! "
