"You want to fall out with me?"
Zhang Qian was stunned. He dared not believe what he was hearing.
He had gone through so much just to win the other party's favor so as to build a good relationship with the Glacier Plain Court. Yet, not only did he fail to do so, he even said such words?
Weren't you on the verge of beating me up just a moment ago? Why are you defending me all of a sudden?
"That's right. Zhang Qian, I only made a move earlier as a warning to you. I hope that you know your place!"
Chen Leyao said with a wave of her hand.
"You … I want to know why!"
Zhang Qian bellowed furiously.
He really couldn't understand why Chen Leyao would suddenly change her attitude.
"You don't need to know why. You just need to remember that if you dare to provoke Zhang Shi, you're going against me, Chen Leyao!"
The young lady said coldly, as if she would make a move on Zhang Qian if he dared to disobey her.
"You …"
Zhang Qian clenched his fists tightly as his body trembled in anger. He wanted to fly into a rage, but he didn't dare to do so.
Putting aside the fact that the other party was no weaker than him, just the influence of the Glacier Plain Court itself was not something that he could afford to offend.
"Let's go!"
Flinging his sleeves, Zhang Qian helped Zhang Yu up before walking away.
He had come all the way here to fawn on the other party, only to be pummeled by the other party instead … The more he thought about it, the more stifled he felt.
"Zhang Xuan, it's all that Zhang Xuan's fault … If I don't make you suffer a fate worse than death, my surname won't be Zhang!"
Gritting his teeth furiously, he directed all of his rage toward the fellow who had humiliated him earlier.
If not for the other party, how could he have suffered such humiliation? How could he have ended up in such a state instead of building a good relationship with the other party?
Walking a distance away, Zhang Qian turned to look at Chen Leyao, only to see the latter looking at Zhang Xuan with a complicated look in her eyes.
"Damn it …"
Seeing this sight, Zhang Qian felt even more infuriated, but at the same time, he couldn't understand what was going on.
Chen Leyao seemed like a normal person, and she didn't even bother to show any respect to others. Why would she suddenly treat that fellow in such a manner?
Was he possessed by a demon?
…
"Senior Leyao, Zhang Qian is a talented individual, be it in terms of background or background.
A young lady from the Glacier Plain Court walked up to Chen Leyao.
She was not present when Zhang Xuan made his move earlier, so she did not hear their conversation. Thus, she was perplexed to see Senior Sister Le Yao making a move.
This Zhang Qian, be it in terms of background or appearance, was top-notch. Not only that, but he was also well-mannered and courteous. Why did he make a move?
"Do you know who the person who came to inquire about the Young Palace Lord was?"
Chen Leyao said.
"I don't know …" The young lady shook her head.
"It's Zhang Xuan, Zhang Shi!" Chen Leyao nodded.
"Zhang Xuan? Zhang … Senior Martial Sister Zhang, are you talking about … the benefactor who cured our cultivation problems? "The woman's body stiffened.
"That's right, it's him! If I'm not mistaken, he's the teacher of the young court chief as well! "
Chen Leyao nodded.
"How is this possible …"
The lady widened her eyes in disbelief.
The Yin Formula and Yang Formula of their Glacier Plain Court had a natural drawback to it. Those who cultivated the Yin Formula and Yang Formula would usually die young! Even those who managed to reach Saint realm would only have a lifespan of three hundred years, a far cry from the lifespan of other cultivators.
This was also the reason why even though there were many ladies in the Glacier Plain Court, they would wither at their most radiant moment, just like a fresh flower.
Yet, who could have thought that eight months ago, Elder Liu Xuan would bring a young lady back to the Glacier Plain Court. Due to her Pure Yin Body, she was immediately promoted to the position of the young court chief. Not only so, she even imparted a modified version of the Yin Formula to the young lady!
This modified version of the Yin Formula and Yang Formula could easily restore the lifespan of a cultivator to that of an ordinary person!
Even though the origins of the cultivation technique had been suppressed by the higher-ups, as the core geniuses of the Glacier Plain Court, they still knew a little about it.
It was created by the teacher of the young court chief, a master teacher named Zhang Xuan …
They had thought that their benefactor would be an elder, or at the very least, an 8-star master teacher. Who could have thought that the other party would be so young, around the same age as them!
"By modifying the cultivation technique and resolving our problems, he's our benefactor!"
Upon realizing this, the young lady's face flushed crimson in agitation.
"Indeed. To think that I intended to make a move on such a benefactor … Why don't we head over to pay him a visit?"
Chen Leyao suggested with a bitter smile.
"Alright!" The young lady nodded. She hurriedly beckoned the remaining members of the Glacier Plain Court over and explained the situation to them. Astonished, they quickly made their way over to Zhang Xuan.
…
"How can you be so reckless?"
Zhao Xingmo couldn't help but bellow furiously at Zhang Xuan.
The other party was a genius of the Zhang clan, and yet, he had slapped the other party to the ground with a single slap. That was equivalent to offending the entire Zhang clan. How was he supposed to continue staying in the Sanctum of Sages?
"I just want to ask some questions. It was Zhang Qian who did it …"
It was Zhang Qian who did it … "Zhang Xuan replied nonchalantly.
As powerful as the Zhang clan was, they were still on the Master Teacher Continent, the Sanctum of Sages. They had to abide by the rules!
As long as it was within the rules, there was nothing for him to fear.
If he was forced into a corner, he could just crash the Zhang clan like he did with the Sanctum of Sages Pavilion crashing!
"You have just arrived, so you don't know how powerful the Zhang clan is in the Sanctum of Sages, so you might not think too highly of it.
However, once you learn more about it, you won't think so anymore … "Seeing how nonchalant Zhang Xuan was, Zhao Xingmo shook his head and said," Let me put it this way. Even though the Sanctum of Sages is an academy that transcends beyond the Sage Clans, as the number one clan in the Sanctum of Sages, the number of slots that the Zhang clan receives every year is simply too high. There are people from the Zhang clan in every single grade of the Sanctum of Sages, and most of them occupy the most important positions in the academy. Offending a single one of them is equivalent to offending a whole bunch of them.
Offending a single one of them is equivalent to offending a whole bunch of them. Offending a single one of them is equivalent to offending a whole bunch of them! "
"Even if they have the advantage in numbers, surely they can't act recklessly?"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
"Even if they don't act recklessly and act according to the rules, it's still going to be a huge headache for them. Putting everything aside, do you really think that you will have the time to cultivate if every single one of them comes to challenge you?"
Zhao Xingmo said.
"This …"
Zhang Xuan fell silent.
That was true.
The Sanctum of Sages did not forbid students from fighting one another, but the other party had the advantage in numbers. Even if the other party's strength was insufficient and they were no match for him, the Sanctum of Sages would still find it troublesome.
"Furthermore, not only did you offend the Zhang clan earlier, you even offended the Glacier Plain Court! While the Glacier Plain Court can't compare to the Zhang clan in the Sanctum of Sages, it's still a top-notch power. More importantly … all of them are female, and their rallying power is formidable! As long as they publicly declare that they are going to teach someone a lesson, even if they don't make a move themselves, there will still be countless geniuses rushing over to cause you trouble! "
Zhao Xingmo said.
It was one thing for them to be female, but more importantly, they were extremely beautiful. On top of that, as one of the overlords of the Master Teacher Continent, every single member of the Glacier Plain Court was capable of driving countless people into a frenzy.
As such, there was almost no one in the Sanctum of Sages who dared to offend them. Offending a single one of them was equivalent to offending countless experts.
Yet, this fellow actually went to look for the other party several times, and in the end, things didn't go too well …
Can't you just stay here and take the test peacefully and not cause any trouble?
Low profile …
Even someone like you wants to keep a low profile?
If that's what you call low profile, there won't be any high-profile people around!
"If you really can't do it, you should apologize to the Glacier Plain Court and resolve this matter. Otherwise, with the alliance of the two powers, even ten heads won't be enough for you to chop off!"
Zhao Xingmo said after a moment of contemplation.
Even though he was only responsible for guiding Zhang Xuan in, they had already developed a bond of affection for each other. He didn't wish for Zhang Xuan to be ganged up on just after arriving at the Sanctum of Sages due to his recklessness.
"This …"
Zhang Xuan scratched his head, not knowing how he should respond to Zhao Xingmo's words. At this moment, Zhang Jiuxiao's face suddenly warped, and a nervous voice sounded, "The Glacier Plain Court is here …"
"Hmm?"
Zhao Xingmo and Zhang Xuan turned their gazes over, and soon, they saw Chen Leyao and a few other ladies from the Glacier Plain Court slowly walking over.
"The fact that they are here together means that they have some sort of agreement with Zhang Qian."
Zhao Xingmo frowned.
He had not seen Chen Leyao teaching Zhang Yu a lesson earlier, so what else could the Glacier Plain Court be doing other than provoking him?
"Alright, why don't you apologize to them first? At most, you'll just have to compensate them a little … As long as it can save us some trouble, I'll be happy!"
Zhao Xingmo hesitated for a moment before sending a telepathic message to Zhang Xuan.
"Apologize?" Zhang Xuan was conflicted. "What do you mean by that?"
It was not that he couldn't apologize, but … he couldn't bring himself to say it out loud.
"What do you mean by that?"
Not expecting to meet a fellow with such a low EQ, Zhao Xingmo sighed helplessly. "Alright, I'll teach you, and you just have to repeat it word for word!"
"Un. When they arrive, say this: 'Fairy Leyao, I was too rash earlier, and I sincerely apologize to you. I hope that you can forgive me …' "
"Alright!"
Knowing that Zhao Xingmo was saying this for his own good, Zhang Xuan quickly memorized the words that Zhao Xingmo had said. At that moment, the ladies from the Glacier Plain Court had already arrived before him.
"Leyao …"
Clearing his throat, Zhang Xuan was just about to repeat what Zhao Xingmo had told him when the young lady before him suddenly bowed deeply and said, "Zhang Shi, I was too rash earlier, and I sincerely apologize to you. I hope that you can forgive me …"
"Ah?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
"Cough cough …"
Zhao Xingmo also widened his eyes in shock, and he nearly fell to the ground.
Wasn't she here to cause trouble?
Why was she apologizing?
More importantly, it was exactly as he had said …
"This is a specialty of our Glacier Plain Court, the Wintry Spirit Essence. It's extremely effective on Leaving Aperture realm cultivators. If Zhang Shi doesn't mind, please accept it. Take it as compensation for my earlier recklessness …"
Before Zhang Xuan could recover from his shock, Chen Leyao flicked her wrist and passed a jade bottle over.
"Wintry Spirit Essence? That … is the most precious treasure of the Glacier Plain Court. A single bottle is worth at least a thousand concentrated high-tier spirit stones … "
Zhao Xingmo's eyes widened in shock as he gulped down a mouthful of saliva.
Wintry Spirit Essence was an extremely rare treasure even in the Glacier Plain Court, and there was hardly anyone who sold it. Yet, Chen Leyao actually took it out and gave it away …
What in the world was going on?
Shouldn't she be angry and denouncing him?
Why was she acting so carefully? Not only did she apologize, she even gave him a gift?
He couldn't make sense of the situation at all.
