"I didn't know that lord was offering me pointers and failed to recognize Mt. Tai. I hope that lord can forgive me!"
Upon entering the room, Ling Tianyu saw Zhang Xuan sitting at the center of the room and he was filled with trepidation.
His attitude toward this master teacher yesterday was indeed poor and he even doubted him. It was already a blessing that he was allowed to enter.
"There's no need to apologize!" Zhang Xuan waved his hands casually. "I'm not that petty!"
Sun Qiang widened his eyes in shock.
You left the other party outside the door to be drenched in dew for an entire night and only allowed him to enter after slowly eating breakfast. Isn't this petty?
"Yes, yes!" Ling Tianyu's face flushed. Just as he was about to continue speaking, Zhang Xuan stretched out his palm and looked at him calmly, "Do you know why I made you wait outside for an entire night?"
"I..."
Ling Tianyu felt awkward.
Don't you think that I have neglected you and that you are intentionally trying to put me down?
I know my mistake, alright?
"Do you think that I am intentionally making things difficult for you?" Zhang Xuan looked at him.
"No... No!" Ling Tianyu hurriedly shook his head.
"There's no need to deny it, it's normal for you to think that way!" Zhang Xuan didn't seem to be angry. With a deep tone, he said, "Actually, the reason why I made you wait outside for an entire night is for your own good!"
"For my own good?"
This time, not only was Ling Tianyu bewildered, Sun Qiang also had a bizarre expression on his face.
Making someone wait outside for an entire night was for his own good?
What kind of theory was this?
"If I'm not wrong, your wife is gravely ill and could die at any moment. The reason why you are here is to ask me to save her life, right?" Zhang Xuan looked at him.
"Yes!"
Hearing the other party speak out his thoughts, Ling Tianyu's body trembled.
"If you want me to save her, you have to bring your wife over. However, you came into contact with the Southern Blood Jade yesterday and there is still an aura that devours one's spirit in your body. If I were to agree to it and come into contact with her once more, she would have died before she could be brought over."
Zhang Xuan sighed and continued, "So, I let you stand outside for a night. Firstly, you can completely disperse the special aura in your body. Secondly, you won't be in a hurry to go home and avoid any danger. Of course, if you refuse to listen to me and leave, your wife will surely die. Naturally, you won't have to come here anymore. Not even a master teacher is capable of reviving the dead. "
Hearing those words, Ling Tianyu's face changed and cold sweat dripped down his back.
In fact, the other party had made him stand outside for an entire night. Deep in his heart, he was quite annoyed. Although he did not dare to say it out loud, he was somewhat dissatisfied in his heart.
Not only was a master teacher capable of guiding others, they had to be dignified as well. It was impossible for them to haggle over such a small matter.
In Zhang Xuan's view, this master teacher was intentionally making a fool out of him to make him look bad.
Hearing those words, Zhang Xuan realized that he had truly misunderstood the situation. The other party had really gone through a lot of trouble.
To think that the other party would still be so considerate towards him …
The demeanor of a great teacher was truly admirable.
Compared to him, he was really gauging the heart of a gentleman with his own mean measure.
While he was grateful, he was also secretly glad.
Fortunately, he had persevered last night. Otherwise, he would have regretted it for the rest of his life.
By the side, Sun Qiang also widened his eyes in shock.
The old master is the old master, a master teacher is a master teacher. Every step he took has its own meaning.
Initially, he thought that the old master was intentionally making a fool out of him. Only now did he realize that the old master's thoughts weren't something an insignificant figure like him could fathom.
"Thank you, lord!"
Ling Tianyu was about to kneel down.
"Bring him over for me to take a look. If his illness is too severe, I'm afraid that I won't be able to do anything." Zhang Xuan gestured.
"Yes!" Ling Tianyu's eyes reddened in agitation and he hurriedly left with Master Cheng Yuan.
After the two of them left, Zhang Xuan turned to look at Sun Qiang.
"Xiao Qiang, I promised you that I would help you advance to Fighter 4-dan. Naturally, I won't go back on my words. Execute a fist technique and let me see your condition!"
"Yes, old master!"
Hearing that the old master was going to help him advance, Sun Qiang nodded his head excitedly.
Soon, he was done executing a fist technique. Not only was Sun Qiang not excited, he even revealed an awkward expression, "Old master, I was injured yesterday... My strength has decreased greatly. I'm afraid that I won't be able to break through to Pigu realm today..."
To break through a realm, one had to adjust one's condition and reach the pinnacle in one go. Given that Zhang Xuan had just beaten him up yesterday and he was still injured, it was inevitable that he would be lacking in energy. No matter how formidable the old master's guidance was, it would be difficult for him to succeed.
The moment he started, he immediately felt the pain from his injuries and the circulation of his zhenqi became a little sluggish.
"Don't worry!" Zhang Xuan interrupted his words and looked at him with a smile, "The reason why you have been stuck at Zhenqi realm for so many years is because the zhenqi you have been cultivating is too turbid. As such, you are unable to clear your meridians and nourish your physical body. If this goes on, your zhenqi might even stagnate. It would be a small matter if you are unable to advance any further. In fact, it might even regress."
"Yes!" Sun Qiang nodded his head.
In the past two years, he had indeed felt his stamina weakening and his cultivation rising slowly. If not for him desperately cultivating to maintain his strength, he might have already fallen to Zhenqi realm primary stage by now.
"In Fighter 4-dan Pigu realm, one's zhenqi would flow through one's entire body, increasing the strength of one's muscles and bones. Logically speaking, it should be difficult for your turbid zhenqi to flow through your entire body. However, things are different now! Yesterday, you were beaten up and your physical body was injured. The zhenqi that had stagnated previously was jolted out and the shackles in your meridians have cleared up significantly... "
"Old master... Yesterday... you intentionally let me get beaten up?"
Before Zhang Xuan could finish his words, Sun Qiang's body trembled and tears flowed down his cheeks.
Previously, the old master intentionally had Ling Tianyu wait outside for his own good. I thought that he had made a mistake by letting me get beaten up. Only now do I realize that... it was for my own good as well!
A pity that I thought that he was lying to me...
"Ah?"
Seeing his plump butler being moved to tears, Zhang Xuan was bewildered.
I only wanted to say that your injuries wouldn't affect your cultivation. Why... did you think of such things? Aren't you being a little too far-fetched...
However, this is good as well. It will help me build up my prestige as a master teacher...
"Cough cough!" Zhang Xuan coughed and said, "Not bad, I didn't waste my efforts in grooming you. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. If I'm not wrong, Ling Tianyu should have given you a recovery pill, right? "
"I..." Sun Qiang's face reddened.
The old master was willing to be misunderstood for me, yet I still have the cheek to take his pills...
There is really a huge difference between humans...
"It's nothing much. As long as you work for me loyally, I don't mind taking some things." Guessing what he was thinking, Zhang Xuan interrupted him. "Take out the pill and make some preparations. You will be trying to break through to Fighter 4-dan now."
"Trying to break through now?" Not expecting it to happen so quickly, Sun Qiang felt a little uncomfortable. "Old master, don't you need to find a quiet chamber? If you were to try to break through here, I'm afraid that Lord Ling would arrive before you succeed and delay your matters... "
"There's no need for that. This is something that can be resolved in three to five minutes, there's no need to find a quiet chamber." Zhang Xuan shook his hands.
"Three to five minutes? I will be able to... break through? "
Sun Qiang was taken aback. His eyes widened as he stared at the old master in disbelief.
