He had seen his fair share of beautiful women, and there were even two who had confessed to him just a moment ago. Just that, he had never seen such a huge millstone before.
"Forget it!"
Zhang Xuan couldn't be bothered with him. Thus, he asked around for the whereabouts of Wu Shi before heading over.
But a short distance later, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly rushed forward.
"Mu shi!"
A figure appeared before him, and it was none other than Mu Yuan, Mu shi!
After leaving the Qiu Wu Palace, he had returned to the Conferred Empire and promised Wu Shi that he would pay a visit to Mingshi Tang, so he had intended to meet Mu shi along the way.
"Senior Uncle!"
Mu shi clasped his fist and greeted.
"Un." Zhang Xuan nodded. "You have achieved a breakthrough to Saint 4-dan?"
Previously, Mu shi had only been a Saint 3-dan cultivator, and due to the metal attribute energy suppressing his cultivation, he had been unable to achieve a breakthrough. As such, his cultivation had been stuck at Seven Star intermediate-tier. Who could have thought that after a month of absence, he would be able to overcome his bottleneck and reach Primordial Spirit realm?
"Indeed. It's all thanks to Yang shi's guidance that I am where I am today," Mu shi said gratefully.
Back then, he had met Yang shi in Hongyuan City and received the latter's guidance. Otherwise, he would have been stuck at Saint 3-dan for the rest of his life.
"May I know if Yang shi is in the capital? I would like to pay him a visit and thank him personally! "
After chatting for a moment, Mu shi asked.
This benefactor of his had helped him walk out of his trauma and resolve the metal attribute energy suppressing his body, allowing him to achieve a breakthrough. He had been looking for an opportunity to express his gratitude to the other party, but the other party had always been elusive. Ever since they parted ways, he had never met the other party.
"Teacher is always the one looking for me. Even I am unable to get in touch with him …"
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Yang Xuan's identity was just a background that others feared. Otherwise, he would have been coveted by others, and perhaps, he might even have been captured for research purposes … However, things were different now that Yang shi was around. No matter who wanted to make a move on him, they would have to reconsider whether it was worth it to offend a master teacher who had the potential to surpass 8-star.
After all, not only was a master teacher of that caliber powerful, more importantly, he had the backing of the number one occupation.
If they dared to offend them, they might face the possibility of being annihilated.
Soul oracles were powerful, but before Mingshi Tang, they were easily crushed.
Since it was his background, he couldn't possibly show it to others too often. Otherwise, a master teacher of his level would become worthless, and others would be able to see through his disguise.
"I was still thinking of meeting Yang shi before I leave to thank him personally … but it seems like I won't be able to do so!"
Mu shi shook his head bitterly.
"Before leaving? Where is Master Mu going? "Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
He was a master teacher of Qingyuan Conferred Empire, so where was he heading to?
"Now that I have regained my cultivation and the metal attribute in my body, I have recalled the words that Yang shi told me back then. Thus, I have decided to return to the Mu Clan. No matter how the Mu Clan deals with me, I will accept it!" Mu shi said resolutely.
Zhang Xuan suddenly understood.
Mu Yuan was a member of the Mu Clan, a Sage Clan. However, due to his liking for a woman, he had leaked his cultivation technique to her, and as a result, he was expelled from the clan and ended up here.
"Yeah! The fallen leaves return to their roots. I want to go back too. I can't keep drifting! Even if the Mu Clan doesn't forgive me, it's still better than being a vagabond in the outside world! "Mu shi nodded.
Zhang Xuan fell silent.
He had never been to a clan, so he didn't know what it was like.
However, he could see the determination in the eyes of the person before him. It seemed like even if the Mu Clan were to sentence him to death, he would be willing to do so.
"I don't want to be a deserter forever!" Mu shi smiled bitterly.
"Deserter?"
"That's right! Going against the rules of the clan and acting on my own makes me a deserter! Even though I didn't think much of it back then, ever since I left the clan, there hasn't been a day that I haven't regretted it … "Mu shi shook his head.
Looking at the other party's expression, Zhang Xuan had no idea how he could persuade him otherwise.
"Zhang Shi, I know that you are in love with Luo shi, but … I still have to give you a word of advice!" Mu shi said.
He had seen through the relationship between Zhang Shi and Luo shi, so he was well aware of it.
"Feel free to speak," Zhang Xuan replied respectfully.
"I'm not too sure about Luo shi's exact identity, but it's likely that she's closely related to the Luo Clan. Unless Yang shi makes a move personally, it won't be easy for you to marry her!"
Mu shi said.
"You aren't too sure about her identity either?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
Mu shi was the one who had brought Luo shi to the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy, so he had thought that he knew a lot about her. Who could have thought that he would say such a thing?
"Indeed. It has been many years since I left Qingyuan City, and it has been many years since I've returned to a Sage Clan. However, given how young Luo shi is, her strength far surpasses mine, so she's likely to be the young prodigy of the Luo Clan. Not only does she wield the most important treasure of the Luo Clan, she also possesses the purest bloodline. There's no way she would marry an outsider! "
Mu shi shook his head.
"I know." Zhang Xuan sighed.
He had heard from President Han and Wu Shi about it.
He knew how difficult it would be to marry Luo shi.
However, he did not care about it.
As a Celestial Master Teacher and a Celestial Saint, he had the confidence and courage to do so.
No matter who the other party was, as long as they dared to stand in his way … he would just crush them!
"It's good that you understand. I only have one word of advice for you: don't make her regret her decision," Mu shi said.
"Regret her decision?" Zhang Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
Previously, he had been thinking that if the Luo Clan really refused to marry him, he could just snatch her away once he grew stronger, and if anyone dared to resist him, he would crush them. However, after hearing the other party's words and witnessing the other party's experiences, he knew that even though he would be able to get Lozosy to marry him, she would probably regret it for the rest of her life.
Indeed.
Ever since she was born, she had enjoyed the care and love of the entire Luo Clan, and she had already developed deep feelings for it. If she were to fall out with the Luo Clan just because she liked him, she would really regret it for the rest of her life.
Don't worry, I'll marry her openly. I won't make things difficult for her, Zhang Xuan thought as he clenched his fists tightly.
There was only one way for him to ensure that Luo shi wouldn't fall out with the Luo Clan, and that was to make the Luo Clan acknowledge him!
This was the only way he could avoid putting Ruoxin in a difficult position.
"It's good that you understand …" Seeing that Zhang Xuan had made up his mind, Mu shi nodded.
"Right, Mu shi, Ruoxin … said that she had some matters to attend to, so do you know where she might have gone? Just where is the Luo Clan? "
Zhang Xuan couldn't help but ask.
Lozosy had left in a hurry, and she hadn't told him where she was going or where he should look for her. Since Mu shi was from a Sage Clan, he should be able to find some clues.
"The Luo Clan is located in Qufu … However, I don't think that she has returned to the Luo Clan but the Sanctum of Sages!"
Mu shi said after a moment of hesitation.
"The Sanctum of Sages?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
"Un. The Sanctum of Sages is a gathering of the most talented youths in the world. Those who are able to enter it are mostly the offspring of the Sage Clans and the top geniuses of the Master Teacher Continent. I have heard that the little princess of the Luo Clan is actually a student of the Sanctum of Sages, but due to … something happened, she escaped from the Sanctum of Sages. "
Mu shi pondered for a moment before replying.
"A student of the Sanctum of Sages?" Zhang Xuan was astonished.
Even though he had no idea how powerful Lozosy was, the fact that she was able to subdue the Leaving Aperture realm Skyleaf King so easily was already beyond his imagination.
To think that she was only a student …
Wasn't the Sanctum of Sages a little too fearsome?
"The Sanctum of Sages is a place where Inceptive Sages are groomed. Most of the previous generations of Pavilion Master Mingshi Tang and the clan heads of the Master Teacher Continent have come from there. Zhang Shi, if you really want the Luo Clan to acknowledge you and marry Luo shi, it would be best for you to enter the Sanctum of Sages and stand out from the crowd. That way, no one will dare to look down on you, even if you don't have a clan backing you! "
Mu shi said.
Zhang Xuan nodded in agreement.
Even though everyone knew that he had a 'Yang shi' backing him, he knew that he had an extraordinary background.
'Yang shi' was a fake. If he really wanted to marry Lozosy openly, there was no way he would be able to bring it out.
It might be easy for others to see through his disguise, but if he were to meet a top-notch master teacher, he would surely be exposed in an instant. Perhaps, he might even die before he knew it.
If the Sanctum of Sages really existed and he could enter it, it would definitely be the best choice for him.
Of course, what tempted him the most was that he would be able to meet Lozosy in advance.
For a person who had just fallen in love, putting aside the fact that it had been a long time since they last met, even if it was just a single day, they would still miss each other.
"May I know how I can enter the Sanctum of Sages?"
Zhang Xuan asked.
"The Sanctum of Sages opens in the middle of the ninth month every year, and a new batch of students will be recruited. Conferred Empire Mingshi Tang has a slot, and if you can get it, you will be able to enter the Sanctum of Sages," Mu shi replied.
"The middle of the ninth month … That's less than two months?" Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up.
It had been a year since he arrived in this world.
In other words, it was less than two months before the start of the new semester.
"That's right. To be more precise, it's a month and seventeen days," Mu shi replied.
"This …" Zhang Xuan frowned. "May I know if there are any requirements on one's strength and master teacher rank to obtain the slot?"
Since the Sanctum of Sages was a place where the top geniuses of the Master Teacher Continent gathered, there was bound to be a prerequisite for it.
"Of course!" Mu shi nodded. "One has to become a Seven Star intermediate-tier master teacher before thirty, and at the very least, one has to reach the Embryonic Soul realm," Mu shi said.
"Seven Star intermediate-tier …" Zhang Xuan nodded.
He was only a step away from reaching the Embryonic Soul realm at the moment. As long as he could find the Heaven's Path Divine Art and concentrated high-tier spirit stones, he should be able to achieve a breakthrough easily.
That shouldn't be a problem.
Mu shi paused for a moment before frowning. "However … the slot for Mingshi Tang has already been decided by Pavilion Master Gou himself. I fear that you might not be able to get it, Zhang Shi!"
"Decided? Who? "
Zhang Xuan's face darkened. All of a sudden, a figure surfaced in his mind, and he asked, "Could it be that you are referring to that person … Zhang Jiuxiao?"
"Are you talking about … Zhang Jiuxiao?"
Mu shi nodded. "Indeed. If I'm not mistaken, he should be a descendant of the Zhang family!"
