"What?"
Hearing this, Sun Qiang and the others in the room were all stunned.
Du Yuan, in particular, had an ugly expression on his face.
Even if his father's cultivation wasn't up to par, how could a master teacher insult him as a beast?
This was an insult to their dignity!
"Yang shi, even if my father has offended you, there's no need for you to insult him like that, right?"
Making up his mind, Du Yuan gritted his teeth and said.
"Insult?" Zhang Xuan shook his head. "Ask your father if I'm insulting him."
"Father …"
Du Yuan turned his head to look at Du Miaoxuan. If he hadn't looked, he wouldn't have realized it. However, with a single glance, he was shocked. His father's entire body was trembling, and he was no longer as calm as before.
"Yang shi, please save me …"
Thump!
Just as he was feeling puzzled, he heard his father cry out and kneel on the ground.
"Ah?"
Du Yuan was dumbfounded.
Sun Qiang also had a strange expression on his face.
Is this Du Miaoxuan sick in the head? And a little masochistic?
Just now, he was still speaking in a tough tone and acting cool, but in the end, after Old Master called him a beast, he directly knelt down?
"Xiao Qiang, send them off!"
Ignoring the kneeling Du Miaoxuan, Zhang Xuan waved his hands.
Are you kidding me? Who do you think I am? You doubt it just like that? You believe it just like that?
"Yes!" Sun Qiang walked over and said, "Please!"
"I have eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. Yang shi, please give me a chance..."
Du Miaoxuan jumped in fright upon hearing that Zhang Xuan wanted to send him off. He kowtowed profusely, his heart filled with regret.
If he had listened to his son, would this have happened?
Yet, to question a master teacher was equivalent to publicly challenging the other party's identity and authority. It would be weird if Zhang Xuan didn't get angry.
Seeing an elder of the Du Clan kneeling down and kowtowing repeatedly, Sun Qiang was at a loss as to what to do.
"What? My words don't work? "
Zhang Xuan furrowed his eyebrows.
"Yes …"
Sun Qiang shuddered and waved his hand. "Someone, please escort Elder Du out."
Upon hearing the order, several guards walked over with large strides.
"Elder Du, please!"
A few guards walked up to him.
"Father …"
Even now, Du Yuan was still in a daze. Why didn't his father get angry when Yang shi called him a beast, and even kneel down to beg for help?
"I was too rash. I know my mistake, so I'll wait outside for Yang shi's forgiveness."
Du Miaoxuan kowtowed and without waiting for the guards to chase him away, he led the way out. Du Yuan followed closely behind him.
Leaving the residence, Zhang Xuan walked out of the door and kneeled down in the middle of the road, motionless.
"Father …" Du Yuan was about to go crazy.
Her father was an existence who had once vied for the position of clan head, and even though he was only an ordinary elder now, he was still far nobler than most other elders. Yet, he was actually kneeling in the middle of the streets … Just why?
Just because the other party called him a … beast?
Could it be that … Father was really a masochist?
"You, kneel as well!"
Before he could think further, he heard Du Miaoxuan's cold voice.
"Father …" Du Yuan gritted his teeth. "I don't understand …"
"Yang shi is a true master teacher. I have offended him with my words earlier, so... I have to apologize to him! A master teacher mustn't be humiliated, not even the slightest bit of contempt. "
Du Miaoxuan bellowed, "Kneel down! We can only pray for him to forgive us now, because … he is a true master teacher. Only he can treat my illness. "
"He can treat me?"
Du Yuan was perplexed.
But Yang shi didn't say anything at all!
All he said was' you are a beast '. Could it be that his father was so certain just because of that one sentence?
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He felt like he was about to faint.
…
"Old master, Elder Du and Du Miaoxuan are kneeling in front of the door!"
Hearing the report from his subordinate, Sun Qiang stared at the old master with a bizarre expression.
Did the old master possess some kind of magic?
Initially, Du Miaoxuan didn't show the slightest bit of respect, and his tone wasn't pleasant either. Yet, after the old master scolded him once, the other party was frightened to the point of kneeling down.
If he hadn't seen it for himself, he would have thought that it was all nonsense.
But the truth was right before his eyes. He had no choice but to believe it!
"How is your family? Touching your wife … You are a beast … Seems like master teachers like to speak in such a manner … "
Sun Qiang summed up his experience.
Putting aside Du Miaoxuan, even Ling Tianyu behaved in such a manner. Back then, the billionaire was filled with rage, but the old master asked him if his family was good. Then, he asked him to touch his wife …
Seems like master teachers don't walk the normal path either. They like to exaggerate.
However, such alarmist talk was very effective.
"Seems like these so-called merchants and elders are amenable to coaxing but not coercion. Un, should I give it a try in the future?"
Suddenly recalling something, Sun Qiang's eyes lit up.
In his view, the reason why Du Miaoxuan changed his attitude so quickly was because the old master was angry. It seemed like he shouldn't be a yes-man when meeting these people in the future. He should be magnanimous and speak with dignity!
Only then would he be able to intimidate the other party.
Didn't he see how Elder Du was so intimidated that he knelt down?
Sun Qiang's thoughts became more and more active.
"In the future, when the old master isn't around, I should find an opportunity to give it a try … If I succeed, the old master will look at me in a different light …" Zhang Xuan was filled with excitement.
"Oh, let them kneel then!"
Unaware that the fellow before him had thought of so many things in the blink of an eye, Zhang Xuan casually waved his hands.
"Old master, what should we do now?" Sun Qiang asked.
Zhang Xuan frowned.
This was what he was thinking as well.
Waiting for others to give him money out of gratitude wasn't a solution!
Take Ling Tianyu for example. Even though a million might seem like a lot, it was still a far cry from 23 million. However, if he were to ask for money, it wouldn't be befitting of his identity as a master teacher and he would be labeled as a scammer.
If he were to wait for others to give him money without asking for money, how much could he give?
If the other party thought that he was a master teacher and didn't care about worldly possessions, wouldn't he cry himself to death?
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Xuan said, "I'm going out for a while. There's no need for you to follow me. How about this, help me do something."
After which, Zhang Xuan explained the matter to the butler in detail.
"This, this …"
Hearing his instructions, the butler's eyes widened in shock.
This works as well?
"Go!" Zhang Xuan didn't explain further.
"Yes!"
After the previous few experiences, he knew that the old master had his reasons for doing so he turned around and walked out. Not too long later, he returned.
Clearly, the matter that Zhang Xuan had entrusted to him had already been settled.
"If anyone comes to look for me, have them wait outside." Zhang Xuan stood up and walked out of the residence.
Upon reaching the door, he didn't even look at the kneeling Du Miaoxuan and left.
"Father …"
Seeing Yang shi leaving the residence, Du Yuan couldn't help but shout.
Since the other party has already left, why are you still kneeling here?
"I'm not doing this to show Yang shi, but to show my determination and to correct my mistakes. If I were to leave now, I'm afraid that I won't be able to resolve my problem in the future." Knowing what his son was thinking, Du Miaoxuan explained.
"I understand …"
Du Yuan lowered his head dejectedly.
An elder of the Du Clan, a former competitor for the successor, kneeling in the middle of the road … What in the world was this …
