Back when he was in the Tianxuan Kingdom, the Old Master had spent quite some time with him, but he had never mentioned that he had a servant with him.
If he had come to look for him earlier, he would not have had to go through so much trouble. He would have been able to get that fellow to do most of the work for him.
Servant and butler … There was still a huge difference in status between them.
"You want me to listen to your orders?"
Hu Yiwei's cheeks twitched uncontrollably, and he nearly leaped forward to strangle the other party to death.
Can you be any more shameless?
Even if you can't see through my cultivation, surely you should be able to see through the attitude of Zhan shi and the others, right?
Others would be so frightened that they would faint upon seeing me, and yet you … Why is your eye of discernment so lacking?
"That's right. You are only a servant who helps the Old Master with some trivial matters, but I am the butler whom the Old Master has personally acknowledged. You should be proud that you are willing to listen to my orders! "
Sun Qiang nodded as if it was a matter of course.
The other party had bragged for a long time, but in the end, he was just a servant. On the other hand, he was a butler, someone who was in charge of subordinates!
How could one's standing and identity be the same?
The difference between the two was like gold and mud.
Since the servant had given him the token, as the butler, he naturally did not need it … Thinking of this, Sun Qiang immediately felt much more at ease. He once again felt proud of his master's decision.
"You want me to listen to your orders?"
Hu Yiwei gritted his teeth tightly. Hu Yiwei could no longer hold it in. Killing intent flashed in his eyes. With a flick of his finger, a plume of smoke quietly entered Sun Qiang's body. He snorted coldly in his heart, "As long as you can survive!"
After doing all that, he turned to the elder not too far away and said, "Zhan shi, I am here to accompany the Young Master.
"Zhan shi, I have come here to accompany the Young Master. Now that he has successfully entered the Sanctum of Sages, I have accomplished my mission here, so there's no need for me to remain here any longer. Thus, I came here to inform you that I hope that you can take good care of him.
Before Zhan shi could reply, a carefree voice suddenly sounded. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of the Young Master!"
Hu Yiwei's lips twitched upon hearing those words, and he hurriedly turned his head over, only to see Sun Qiang waving his hand nonchalantly.
"H-how is this possible?"
His eyebrows twitched.
Even someone of Zhan shi's caliber would bleed profusely from his seven apertures if he were to be poisoned without anyone noticing. Yet, the young man before him was actually completely fine despite using such a powerful poison, not to mention, he was even able to speak so confidently. Was this for real?
"Nothing is impossible."
Oblivious to the fact that he had just taken a trip to the gates of hell, Sun Qiang chuckled proudly and said, "If not for me taking care of Young Master, how could he have become a student of the Sanctum of Sages so easily? You don't have to worry about this! "
"…"
Hu Yiwei narrowed his eyes and continued flicking his finger. Seeing that the fellow's voice was getting louder and louder, and it didn't seem like he was poisoned at all, he continued flicking his finger.
Even though his temperament had changed a lot over the years, he still couldn't help but want to kill when he really provoked him.
Wu wu wu!
After a few more strikes, the strongest poison in Zhang Xuan's body adhered to the other party's body and seeped into his body.
"That's enough. What's the point of playing? I'm talking to you. Did you not hear me? Or are you pretending to be deaf? As a servant, you don't even have the slightest awareness of a servant. No wonder Master doesn't let you be a butler … Really! "
Sun Qiang's face was filled with displeasure. He looked as lonely as snow.
He was speaking nicely to the other party, but the other party was dancing around wildly, causing the zhenqi that the Young Master had left in his body to run amok.
To not have the slightest awareness of a servant at all … Was it because he had followed Young Master for too long that his temper had grown a little too good?
Otherwise, how could the other party not show the slightest hint of fear?
Just by showing him some respect, the other party really opened a dye shop …
"You …"
Seeing that the other party was still showing no signs of being poisoned, Hu Yiwei's eyes widened in shock.
The poison that he had flicked out earlier was the strongest poison in his body. Back then, even Yang shi had to go through a lot of trouble to deal with it, but the other party was completely fine. Could it be that … the plump fellow was not as simple as he seemed? Was he actually a hidden expert?
Not too long ago, he had met a young lady, but she had nearly pummeled him to the point of spurting blood!
Furthermore, he had also heard that the founder of the Poison Temple had returned, and she seemed to be very young as well!
His master's eye of discernment had always been sharp, so it was likely that he had his reasons for wanting the other party to become his butler. Without sufficient capability, how could he possibly have agreed to it?
In an instant, the seemingly insignificant plump man before him suddenly became a towering figure.
"I'll take good care of Yang shi's disciple … May I know your name? Did you just clear the examination this year?"
Even though Zhan shi had seen Hu Yiwei's actions, seeing that Sun Qiang was completely unscathed, he had thought that the other party had not made a move. Heaving a sigh of relief, he asked anxiously.
"Zhang Xuan!"
"Feng Ziyi!"
Sun Qiang and Hu Yiwei exclaimed in unison.
"Zhang Xuan?"
Before Zhan shi could reply, Hu Yiwei had already frowned. "My master has only accepted a single student, and he goes by the name of Feng Ziyi. Who is this Zhang Xuan?"
Yang shi had only accepted a single student, and that was Feng Ziyi. The only reason he had come to the Poison Temple was because he was following behind Yang shi. Why had he not heard of Zhang Xuan before?
It was one thing for Hu Yiwei to not have heard of Yang shi's butler, but there was no way he would not have heard of Yang shi's new student!
"Feng Ziyi is a senior of our Young Master. The two of them have already met, and they even had a friendly duel!"
Sun Qiang waved his hand with a smile. "If I'm not mistaken, he has already become our Young Master's junior!"
So, this fellow was the one taking care of Feng Ziyi.
While he was taking care of the Young Master, the other party was taking care of Feng Ziyi … It seemed like the Old Master was not too biased after all.
Based on his understanding of the Young Master's personality, it was impossible for him not to beat Feng Ziyi into addressing him as his senior.
"Junior?" Hu Yiwei was stunned.
"If you had mentioned Feng Ziyi earlier, I wouldn't have doubted you. We are all working for the Old Master, so there's no need for us to treat you as an outsider!"
Sun Qiang chuckled softly. "Actually, it's normal for a person of the Old Master's caliber to be unaware of how many students or servants he has accepted. After all, we are just subordinates, and it would be inappropriate for us to ask too much about our master's affairs."
It was as if he had known the Old Master for a very long time, and if not for Zhang Jiuxiao's explanation, he would not have known that the master he had known for more than a year was actually so powerful!
"…"
Hu Yiwei was rendered speechless.
Considering how confident the other party was and how Zhan shi and the others were, and how even his lethal poison was unable to kill the other party, Hu Yiwei could not help but feel a little doubtful.
Even though he was Yang shi's subordinate, he was still only a subordinate. It was impossible for him to know everything that was going on.
Could it be that his master had really taken in a student and a butler without his knowledge?
It was supposed to be a meeting with Zhan shi, but how did it suddenly turn into a meeting to acknowledge his kin?
