Hong long!
As soon as those words were spoken, a unique energy immediately shrouded Zhang Xuan. Following which, a unique token materialized in his palm.
On the front of the token was the emblem of the Empire Alliance, and at the back were the words' Specially Appointed '. It emanated an imposing aura.
"Specially Appointed Elder? I'm going to become an elder just like that? "
Zhang Xuan was stunned.
It was just a moment ago that Yao shi said how difficult it was to become an elder, such that it was practically impossible for him to become one … and yet, in the blink of an eye, he was bestowed with such an identity?
This was way too easy!
Zhang Xuan turned to look at Yao shi, only to see her face flushed crimson, and her body trembled uncontrollably. It seemed like she was on the verge of tears.
It was no wonder why she would react in such a manner.
Her teacher had spent a lot of time and effort on this matter, only to fail. On the other hand, the other party was only a Seven Star master teacher, and he hadn't even gone to the Empire Alliance yet, but he had already been appointed as an elder …
Did it have to be so fast?
"Thank you!"
Knowing that Wu Shi and the others had attributed all of the credit to him, Zhang Xuan did not turn down the offer.
Other than appointing Zhang Xuan as an elder, he also announced that Wu Shi would be the next head of the Qingyuan Empire's Mingshi Tang Pavilion.
"Yao shi and Pavilion Master Wu, I'll leave the matters here to you two. I still have some matters to attend to, so I won't be staying here any longer!"
Zhang Xuan clasped his fist and bade farewell to Zhang Xuan.
The trouble that Sun Qiang and the others had caused had already been resolved, so there was no point in him staying here any longer. Dealing with the Mingshi Tang Pavilion and the Qingyuan Empire's affairs was much more proficient than he was.
"Zhang Shi, now that Chu Tianxing is dead, the Qingyuan Empire will be without a leader. Who do you think should be the next emperor?"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was about to leave, Wu shi hurriedly asked.
The Qingyuan Empire couldn't afford to be without a leader for a single day. Chu Tianxing was dead, so they had to find a suitable successor. Otherwise, it would only be a matter of time before the Qingyuan Empire was swallowed up by the other empires.
"This … Chu Tianxing has a son named Chu Xiang. He's a decent person, and he's on good terms with me. I can consider him!" Zhang Xuan said.
Previously, when Sun Qiang explained that he was going to the royal palace to rescue Chu Xiang, he had sent him a message.
Even though Chu Tianxing was somewhat lustful toward women, he was actually quite talented. If he were to become the next emperor, he would probably fare better than Chu Tianxing.
"Yes!"
Wu Shi quickly nodded.
"En!"
Without any hesitation, Zhang Xuan leaped off the stage and walked up to Sun Qiang and the others. "Where's Liu Yang's letter? Let me see! "
Shortly after Chu Tianxing's death, Liu Yang had disappeared, leaving only a letter behind. Song shi had spent so many days searching for him, but he was still unable to find him. Considering how Zhang Xuan had caused such a huge commotion, it was likely that the other party had already left Qingyuan City.
Sun Qiang did not know why he left and when he left. He only left a letter behind.
Now that the crisis was over, it was a good time to take a look.
"The letter says that it has to be opened personally by Young Master, so I didn't dare to open it!" Sun Qiang passed the letter over.
Taking it, Zhang Xuan took a look at it.
Lines of words immediately appeared before his eyes.
"Teacher, I'm sorry, but I have to leave now. Killing Chu Tianxing and stirring up trouble is just one of the reasons. More importantly, I don't want to be a burden to you. You have already done too much for me … "
The handwriting was neat and clear, and it carried a sense of resolution.
Soon, Zhang Xuan finished reading it, and he shook his head in disappointment.
He finally understood why Liu Yang had left without bidding farewell.
As the first male student to be accepted into the academy, he had entered the academy earlier than Zheng Yang, Lu Chong, Yuan Tao, and the others. Now, Zheng Yang had become the Progeny of Combat, Lu Chong had gone to the Ancient Land of Soul Oracles, and Yuan Tao had returned to the Yuan Clan.
Of the three female students, one had gone to the Glacier Plain Court, one had entered the Poison Temple, and the last had joined the Spirit Awakener Guild.
Only he had not accomplished anything at all, and he was still following behind his teacher.
It was unimaginable how much pressure he was under.
It was one thing for him to expend his teacher's resources, but he could easily be used as a hostage by others as well …
He was finding it hard to withstand the immense pressure he was feeling.
Perhaps … only by leaving his teacher would he be able to avoid being used as a hostage and not put his teacher in a difficult position …
After much contemplation, he decided to leave without any hesitation.
"Sigh … You are my student, how can you be a burden?"
Zhang Xuan sighed.
Even though Liu Yang was not particularly outstanding among his seven direct disciples, he was still the one who had brought him up step by step from Tianxuan Kingdom.
He had already regarded the other party as his child, so how could he possibly think of him as a burden?
"Young Master, what should we do about Young Master Liu Yang?"
Sun Qiang had also finished reading the letter at this moment, and he couldn't help but ask.
"There's no need to look for him. Given his capability, it's impossible for him to find him. We can only wait for him to think things through and contact me on his own …"
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Liu Yang was his direct disciple, and he had studied under him for nearly a year now. Not only had his cultivation improved significantly, his other aspects had also grown by leaps and bounds. If he really wanted to hide from Liu Yang, he would be the only one who would be able to find him. Even a Seven Star master teacher wouldn't be able to recognize him!
"I have neglected his feelings …" Zhang Xuan sighed deeply.
The fact that Zheng Yang had become the Progeny of Combat had left a huge impact on Liu Yang.
As fellow disciples, Zhang Xuan was already able to bring honor to his teacher, but he could only rely on his teacher … It was not hard to imagine how dejected he felt.
However, it was a pity that he had been too busy to notice this, or else such a thing would not have happened.
"Nurturing a student isn't just about cultivation and capability …"
Zhang Xuan sighed deeply once more, and his heart was filled with disappointment.
Over the past year, he had been focused on raising their cultivation, but he had not taken into consideration their feelings.
They were not just fellow disciples, but they would also compete with one another and compete with one another.
Of the seven of them, six had already made a name for themselves. It was impossible for him to not feel pressured being the last one.
…
In the sky far away from Qingyuan City, a beautiful figure was seated cross-legged on the back of a ferocious beast. Her eyes were tightly shut, and a surge of pure zhenqi was flowing through her meridians, producing a peculiar sound.
Kacha!
Some time later, as if some kind of barrier had been broken, the young lady slowly opened her eyes.
"I've finally made a breakthrough …"
After a period of relentless cultivation, she had finally made a breakthrough. While she was still a distance away from reaching Saint realm, it was no longer too far away.
"Zhang Shi, I'll look for you when my strength is on par with yours!"
The young lady said with a determined look in her eyes.
She was very fond of the talented master teacher who had taken her in as his maid, but she also knew that following behind the other party would only lead to greater and greater despair.
Since that was the case, she would just have to cultivate diligently so that the other party would spare her another glance.
Over the past ten days or so, she had thought about many things, and she had come to understand many things.
Leaving was not to give up or admit defeat. It was just so that she could have a better reunion with him … She wanted to have the courage to speak to him as an equal when they met again.
Qiu!
While Zhang Xuan's thoughts were running wild, a sharp cry suddenly echoed in her ears. Following which, she felt the ferocious beast beneath her trembling uncontrollably, as if it was facing an existence that she dared not offend.
Raising her head, she saw a light green beast slowly flying over from the horizon.
This beast was over ten meters long, and it was extremely beautiful. This was especially so for its nine tails. Not only did it not seem like a burden to her, it even felt like it could control space itself and soar into the sky.
"This is … a Saint 9-dan beast … Nine-tailed Celestial Phoenix?"
The young lady's body stiffened in disbelief.
She had not been in Qingyuan City for too long, but she had learned quite a lot, especially regarding saint beasts.
Based on what she knew, the beast that had just appeared before her was an extremely rare Saint 9-dan beast … the Nine-tailed Celestial Phoenix!
Ordinary cultivators would find it difficult to even lay their eyes on it, so why would it appear here?
While Zhang Xuan was still in shock, she saw a figure standing on the back of the Celestial Phoenix.
She was wearing a veil over her face, making it impossible to discern her appearance and age. However, she had a tall and slender figure that did not pale in comparison to her at all.
Just from her appearance alone, she could tell that she was a rare beauty.
To be able to stand on the back of a saint beast of such caliber, it was clear that she was an extremely powerful individual.
Not daring to hesitate, Zhang Xuan hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully.
There was no way she could afford to offend such a formidable expert.
Hu!
The Nine-tailed Celestial Phoenix came to a halt not too far away.
"You are Yu Fei-er?"
A faint and crisp sound rang out.
The veiled lady on the back of the Celestial Phoenix had a pair of eyes reminiscent of the stars in the night sky.
"Yes!"
The young lady nodded.
She was no other than Yu Fei-er, who had just bid farewell to Zhang Xuan.
"My teacher wishes to take you in as his disciple. May I know if you are willing to accept him?"
The young lady asked with a smile. Her voice was reminiscent of an oriole, crisp and pleasant to the ears.
"This …"
Yu Fei-er's body stiffened in disbelief.
The other party was riding on a Saint 9-dan beast, and her cultivation was unfathomable. Did that mean that the teacher she spoke of was even more formidable?
"May I know who your teacher is?"
The young lady asked.
"My teacher is a Nine Stars master teacher from the Mingshi Tang headquarters, Elder Ji Ruochen!" the young lady replied calmly.
"Nine Stars master teacher? An … elder of the Mingshi Tang headquarters? "
Yu Fei-er's breathing hastened, and she found it hard to wrap her head around the situation. "I am just an ordinary lady from a Tier-1 Empire, and I have never met or heard of Ji shi before. Why would he … accept me as his student?"
Happiness had come so suddenly that she found it hard to believe.
"I don't know either. Teacher has instructed me to do so."
The young lady shook her head before turning to Yu Fei-er. "Are you willing to leave with me? If you are, you can leave with me. If you aren't, I'll return to report on the matter! "
"Of course I'm willing!"
Yu Fei-er hurriedly nodded.
If she could become the disciple of a Nine Stars master teacher, her cultivation would surely soar by leaps and bounds. Perhaps, she might even be able to catch up to Zhang Shi!
This was definitely much better than fumbling around on her own!
This was an opportunity that countless people dreamed of. She would be a fool if she were to let it slip by.
"Alright then … Follow me then!"
Seeing that Yu Fei-er had agreed to it, the young lady raised her hand, and Yu Fei-er's body immediately flew forward. In the blink of an eye, she landed on the back of the Nine-tailed Celestial Phoenix.
Hong long!
Before Yu Fei-er could react, the Nine-tailed Celestial Phoenix beneath her abruptly disappeared from the spot, as if teleporting several thousand li away.
"How fast …"
Yu Fei-er's face flushed red as she looked in the direction of Qingyuan City once more. Clenching her fists tightly, she muttered, "Zhang Shi, wait for me! I'll definitely stand before you openly and force you to make your choice!"
