Not too far away, there were a few young ladies dressed in white, similar to those from the Glacier Plain Court.
After Zhao Ya left, there had been no news of her. He didn't know how she was doing. Since he ran into them, he could ask them about it.
Considering that they had been chosen to participate in the selection of the Sanctum of Sages, it was unlikely that they were too weak. Perhaps, they might know something about Zhao Ya.
"Zhao shi, I'll head over to take a look!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hand and was about to walk over.
"Over there?"
Zhao Xingmo took a look and said, "Those are from the Glacier Plain Court. It's best not to provoke them!"
"Oh?" Zhang Xuan was perplexed. "Are the members of the Glacier Plain Court unreasonable?"
"That's not the case. Most of the members of the Glacier Plain Court are ladies, and every single one of them is exceptionally beautiful. As such, they are very popular in the Sanctum of Sages, and there are many who would be proud to marry them. Every single day, there would be quite a few people approaching them to strike up a conversation with them … If I were to approach them recklessly, I'm afraid that I might be met with a black face, and that would put me in a disadvantageous position!"
Zhao Xingmo shook his head.
This Zhang Xuan was talented, and his eye of discernment and knowledge were not bad. But... he was too lecherous!
As soon as they met, he asked about the number one beauty of the Sanctum of Sages, the little princess of the Luo Clan. Yet, when he saw those from the Glacier Plain Court, he found himself unable to move at all.
The Sanctum of Sages was not a place like the Qingyuan Empire. Even if one possessed exceptional talent and fighting prowess, if one were to act in such a manner before a woman, one would surely be put at a disadvantage!
"Uh … I'm asking them about something, not trying to strike up a conversation …"
Upon hearing those words and seeing his expression, how could Zhang Xuan not understand what Zhao shi was thinking? Black lines streaked across his face.
He had always abided by the rules, was upright and selfless, and had never crossed the line. To think that someone would think that he was lustful … He must be drunk.
"I'm just advising you to be careful. None of those who are able to enter the Sanctum of Sages are weaklings. Try your best to keep a low profile, and don't cause any trouble," Zhao Xingmo said.
Despite failing the preliminary examination, he brought two people into the secondary examination, and despite failing the secondary examination, he brought everyone else here... It was all because of this fellow.
Yet, the first thing you want to do after coming here is to look for those from the Glacier Plain Court. Can't you stop worrying?
"Don't worry, I've always kept a low profile. I won't cause trouble!"
With a smile, Zhang Xuan gave his word.
This time, he was only going to ask some questions. There would definitely not be any problems.
"It's good that you understand. I'm just your guide, so no matter what happens in the Sanctum of Sages, it's none of my business. However, I still have to give you a word of advice … The Glacier Plain Court is an existence on par with the Zhang family and the Luo Clan. Even though it has declined due to the absence of their court chief, you still mustn't underestimate it."
Zhao Xingmo frowned.
He was only responsible for selecting the candidates and bringing them here. As for whether they could pass the test and what kind of trouble they caused, it basically had nothing to do with him.
However, after spending so much time together, they could be considered to have developed some feelings for each other. Thus, he didn't wish for Zhang Xuan to cause any trouble.
This was especially so for a major power like the Glacier Plain Court.
"I understand!"
Knowing that the other party meant well, Zhang Xuan clasped his fist.
"En!"
Zhao Xingmo waved his hand dismissively.
It didn't take long for Zhang Xuan to arrive before Zhang Xuan.
"May I ask if you ladies are from the Glacier Plain Court?"
"Yes!"
Zhang Xuan turned around, but there was no expression on his face at all. It felt as if he was a thousand li away from him.
The Glacier Plain Court cultivated yin attribute cultivation techniques, so it was natural for them to be cold and detached.
"I am a cultivator from the Qingyuan Empire, and I would like to inquire about some news from you ladies," Zhang Xuan said earnestly.
"Isn't this tactic a little too old-fashioned?"
One of the ladies sneered disdainfully.
The Glacier Plain Court was one of the top powers on the Master Teacher Continent, and they were all talented beauties. Every year, there would be countless men who would approach them to strike up a conversation, and they had seen all kinds of means. Yet, the young man before them actually said that he wanted to inquire about some news … This was already an old tactic.
There was nothing fresh about it at all.
"Ladies, you misunderstand me. I have an acquaintance who has entered the Glacier Plain Court, and I haven't received any news from her since then. That's why I thought of asking you about it!"
Seeing that he had been misunderstood, Zhang Xuan shook his head with a bitter smile as he explained the reason for his visit.
"An acquaintance? You can't possibly be referring to one of us, right? "
The lady who had just spoken harrumphed coldly.
She had seen such means far too many times in the past.
Putting everything aside, in less than a day, there had already been five groups of men who had used such means to get close to her.
Things like 'Big Sister, we met in our previous lives', 'I know you … you are in my eyes, I want to walk into your heart …' and so on … She had heard so many such things that calluses had already formed in her ears.
"Of course not. I would like to ask about a person named Zhao Ya. She's a young lass, and she was taken away by a person named Liu Xuan …"
Zhang Xuan.
"Audacious! Do you think that the name of the young court chief is something that you can address as you please?"
The woman who had just spoken narrowed her eyes. Her face was filled with rage and fury.
"Young court chief?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
"Stop putting on an act here!"
The lady flicked her wrist, and a powerful aura burst forth from her body, seemingly ready to make a move at any moment. "Leave right now, and I can overlook this matter. Otherwise, don't blame me for getting nasty …"
As soon as she released her aura, her cultivation was immediately revealed. Despite her young age, her cultivation had already reached Leaving Aperture realm pinnacle. Even among those in the square, she could be considered as an expert.
"Calm down, I really just want to ask …" Zhang Xuan shook his head. Just as he was about to explain, the lady before him finally reached the limits of her patience. She raised her hand and sent a palm strike toward Zhang Xuan.
Even before her palm strike had reached Zhang Xuan, he could already feel a bone-chilling sensation, as if threatening to freeze everything in the surroundings.
"This …"
Not expecting to provoke the other party into making a move on him, Zhang Xuan shook his head helplessly. Just as he was about to teach the other party a lesson and force them to answer his question, a figure suddenly blurred before him, and the energy in the air dissipated. Zhao Xingmo appeared before him.
"Friend from the Glacier Plain Court, I am the guide of the Sanctum of Sages, Zhao Xingmo. I am the one who brought him here, and I hope that you will forgive me if I have offended you in any way …"
It was just a moment ago that he had promised Zhang Xuan not to cause any trouble, but a fight had already broken out. Unable to hold himself back any longer, he stepped forward to mediate the situation.
"Since Zhao shi has stepped forward, I have no choice but to give him face."
Seeing that a guide was making a move on her, the lady stopped what she was doing. She shot a cold glance at Zhang Xuan before flinging her sleeves and ignoring him.
"Thank you!"
Heaving a sigh of relief, Zhao Xingmo turned to Zhang Xuan and said with a frown, "Let's return."
"I really have something to ask you …" Zhang Xuan scratched his head in embarrassment.
All he wanted to know was whether Zhao Ya was doing well or not, but not only did the other party refuse to speak, she even wanted to make a move on him. What in the world was this?
"Asking about the young court chief right off the bat and even addressing her as' little lass' … Isn't this a provocation?"
Zhao Xingmo's eyebrows shot up.
With his astounding strength and the fact that Zhang Xuan hadn't bothered to conceal his words, he had heard everything clearly.
"I …" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
Zhao Ya was his student, so it was fine for him to address her as' little lass'. However, according to what the other party had said, she was the young court chief of the Glacier Plain Court, so it was indeed a little inappropriate for him to address her in such a manner.
The Glacier Plain Court was a power on par with the Zhang Clan, and it was renowned across the entire Master Teacher Continent. The standing of their young court chief was on par with even the Nine Star master teachers … It was no wonder the other party was so infuriated that a twenty-year-old fellow like him was addressing her in such a manner.
It was no different from calling the emperor by his name and calling him 'little lass'.
"Alright, let's return. I have heard of the young court chief of the Glacier Plain Court. She possesses the Pure Yin Body, and she was only found a few months ago. It's said that her beauty is on par with the little princess of the Luo Clan …"
Zhao Xingmo said as he stared at the young man before him speechlessly.
This fellow was no longer a 'pervert'; he was a man who dared to do anything about it!
Before coming to the Sanctum of Sages, he had been asking about the little princess of the Luo Clan, and now, he was asking about the young court chief of the Glacier Plain Court …
Are you unable to move just by hearing the words' beautiful lady '?
Those two might be young, but they are powerful figures who can shake the entire Master Teacher Continent with just a stomp of their feet. How dare you set your eyes on them …
"Zhao Ya is mine … We have a close relationship. I really just want to find out more about her …" Zhao Xingmo said.
The other party nearly exploded on the spot when he had just addressed the other party as' little lass'. If he were to say that the other party was his disciple, wouldn't he cause a huge ruckus?
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Xuan could only change his words.
"A close relationship? The young court chief of our Glacier Plain Court is as pure as ice and as pure as jade. How dare you insult her like that? Zhao shi, please step aside. I want to teach this fellow a lesson, so I hope that you won't stand in my way! "
Upon hearing those words, the young lady who had spoken earlier nearly exploded on the spot. Her eyebrows shot up, and she could no longer hold herself back.
"This …"
Zhao Xingmo was frenzied.
Previously, when they were talking about the little princess of the Luo Clan, this fellow had said that he knew her, and there was a glint in his eyes. Now, he was saying that the young court chief of the Glacier Plain Court had a close relationship with him … Who do you think you are?
Are you the talented young master of the Zhang Clan?
Do you really think that everyone knows you?
"There must be some misunderstanding here …" Suppressing his rage, Zhao Xingmo gritted his teeth and decided to mediate the situation.
In his view, the young man before him was someone who would surely clear the examination. He couldn't allow him to be injured before the examination was over.
"There's no misunderstanding at all. Even though our Glacier Plain Court has been living in seclusion for the past few years, we aren't afraid of trouble. You have insulted our young court chief and sullied her reputation. If we don't teach you a lesson, what will become of our Glacier Plain Court's prestige? "
The young lady harrumphed coldly as she walked up to Zhang Xuan. "Friend, how dare you spout such nonsense? Surely you won't hide behind Zhao shi all the time, afraid to face me in battle?"
"Alright then!"
Seeing that the other party was going to make a move on him, Zhang Xuan could only shake his head and say, "Will you tell me about Zhao Ya's current situation if I defeat you?"
"You're courting death!"
Seeing how Zhang Xuan was still addressing the young court chief by her name, the young lady's face turned livid. Roaring furiously, she prepared to make a move.
"Fairy over there, there's no need to get angry. Leave such an arrogant fellow to me. Don't dirty your hands!"
Before the young lady could make a move, a nonchalant voice suddenly sounded. Following which, a white-robed young man holding a folding fan slowly walked up to her.
With a flick of his wrist, the young man closed his folding fan, and an elegant smile crept onto his lips.
"Zhang Qian of the Zhang clan pays respect to the fairies of the Glacier Plain Court!"
