Deathly silence.
All of the elders gritted their teeth as they stared at Sun Qiang as if they were looking at a monster.
Given the young man's strength, not even Zhan shi was a match for him, and yet, he still dared to insult him and threaten to capture him.
Even if they wanted to capture him, they should at least be able to do so!
If they were to make a move, they could very well be poisoned to death.
"What did you say?"
Hu Yiwei was stunned as well, and he narrowed his eyes in disbelief.
For the past twenty years, he had been following the Old Master around, so he was well aware of whether the Old Master had a butler or a servant. Most of the matters in the Old Master's residence had been handled by him personally. It was one thing that he had never met the young man before, but to actually dare to speak to him in such a manner!
"What did I say? Didn't you hear me?"
Waving his hands impatiently, Sun Qiang said, "Speak. I would like to know what you are up to by pretending to be the Old Master's servant. Had it been any other time, it would have been difficult for anyone to notice your impersonation, but now … you must have never thought that you would meet me, the real one, right? "
"Really?"
Seeing how calm the young man was, Hu Yiwei could not help but turn to Zhan shi and ask, "Zhan Tiancheng, who in the world is that fellow?"
"You don't know him?"
Zhan shi's lips twitched.
He had thought that since they were both Yang shi's servants, the two of them should have met one another before. Who could have thought that they would be so hostile toward one another as soon as they met? It was as if the two of them had never met one another before.
"How in the world am I supposed to know such an insignificant figure?"
Hu Yiwei flung his sleeves coldly.
His master was one of the strongest experts in the Master Teacher Continent, and even the weakest of his social circle was at least a Nine Stars master teacher. How in the world could a fellow who hadn't even reached Saint realm possibly know him?
"He claims to be Yang shi's butler, and we have examined him using the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall. Indeed, he possesses Yang shi's blessing …"
Zhan shi explained.
The person who had left a blessing in the other party's body had to possess unparalleled strength. Other than Yang shi, Hu Yiwei could not think of anyone else.
"He possesses Yang shi's blessing?"
Hu Yiwei was taken aback for a moment before he turned to look at the plump man once more, only to see the latter looking at him with a deep frown on his face. "Our master likes to act alone, such that he doesn't even take in disciples. How could he possibly take in a butler? Fatty, what's going on? "
Even if he wanted to take in a housekeeper, he should at least take in a decent one. This fellow's strength was so low, what could he do?
"How dare you! My master is like a divine dragon. He can decide what kind of housekeeper he wants. Who do you think you are to question him? "
Snorting angrily, Sun Qiang waved his hand, turned around and sat on the stool he had just taken out. "Tell me, who are you? Why are you pretending to be Master's servant? "
What the hell?
People nowadays were getting more and more arrogant!
To think that a fake would not show the slightest fear in the face of the real me, even running all the way to the Sanctum of Sages to put on an act …
How audacious!
"Impersonation?"
Hu Yiwei was so angry that he was about to explode. "Do you know who I am?"
If it was in the past, such a small character would have been poisoned to death if he dared to be so arrogant in front of him.
He was the Left Guardian of the Poison Temple, the best poison user in the world. When had he ever been insulted in such a manner?
"I don't care who you are!"
Sun Qiang replied impatiently. "Do you know who I am? Our Old Master is one of the strongest experts in the world, a grand elder of the Mingshi Tang headquarters. As his butler, I represent his dignity and identity. How dare a mere impersonator like you dare to spout such nonsense? Do you know where you are? "
To think that an impersonator would dare to act so arrogantly in front of him!
"You said that Yang shi is your master, but do you have any proof?"
Even though Hu Yiwei was on the verge of exploding, he still suppressed his anger and harrumphed coldly.
Over the years, Yang shi's teachings had tempered his temper significantly. Otherwise, if anyone dared to speak to him in such a manner, the entire Sanctum of Sages would have long blown up.
"Proof? Little Zhan and the others have already tested me, and I possess the Old Master's blessing. What about you? Do you have anything that can prove your identity? Everyone knows how to spout lies. If you can't prove it, it means that you're a fake! "
Sun Qiang sneered coldly.
Even though he had used the Young Master's zhenqi to verify his identity, the fact remained that the Young Master was the Old Master's direct disciple. For it to be so effective, it was likely that the Old Master had left behind some means.
"I …"
With a flick of his wrist, Hu Yiwei took out a token and tossed it over. "This is the token that my master has given me as proof of my identity!"
"Token?"
Zhan shi and the others took a look at the token, and soon, they nodded in agreement.
"This is a unique token from Mingshi Tang's headquarters!"
"It's indeed Yang shi's. There's no way it can be faked!"
As master teachers of the Sanctum of Sages, there was no way they would be mistaken about such a thing.
"Really?"
Sun Qiang was taken aback for a moment before he took the token and took a closer look at it.
The token was only the size of a palm, and there was a unique emblem of Mingshi Tang on the front while a 'Yang' character was inscribed on the back.
It was impossible to tell what material the token was made of, but it emanated a heavy aura. In terms of tier, it was already on par with Saint high-tier artifacts!
Putting everything aside, just the token itself was bound to be of great value. Not to mention, it also harnessed Mingshi Tang's destiny of mankind.
"He actually didn't give it to me …"
Sun Qiang felt more and more indignant the more he thought about it.
Aren't you being too biased?
It's one thing for you to leave the Young Master to me, but you didn't even give him anything at all! This is too much!
The Young Master is your student, and you should have allowed him to stand on his own without interfering with his growth. But … I am your butler, and you didn't give me any money or blessings. Even though I had such a valuable token, you still didn't give it to me …
We are both subordinates, but why does it feel like I'm being raised by a stepmother?
This won't do. I must have a good talk with the Old Master the next time I meet him. I need to ask for a token or two, or else how am I supposed to face others in the future?
How am I supposed to represent the authority of Mingshi Tang's headquarters?
"How is it? Can this token prove my identity?"
Seeing Zhang Xuan's expression, Hu Yiwei asked.
"Since Little Zhan and the others have said that it's true, then it must be true. It seems like you are the Old Master's subordinate just like me!"
While Sun Qiang felt that it was unfair, he still calmed down.
It was nothing much for an expert of the Old Master's caliber to have one or two subordinates … No matter what, the Old Master was still a magnanimous person.
"As the Old Master's subordinate, you have been following closely behind him. When did you become his butler? Why don't I know about it?"
Seeing that the other party had confirmed his identity, Hu Yiwei looked at Zhang Xuan coldly.
"Old Master is elusive. You know everything he does?"
Sun Qiang asked as he tilted his head back to the past. With a faraway look in his eyes, he said, "When the Old Master found me in the trading firm, he took a liking to my character and character, and asked me to take care of the Young Master. Back then, I made up my mind to be his subordinate for the rest of my life!"
"That's a long time ago, so let's not talk about it. Right, you said that you are the Old Master's subordinate? Since that's the case, as the butler of the Old Master, you should listen to my instructions from now on! Sigh, there's no need to be grateful. This is something that I should be doing for the Old Master … "
