Not knowing what to do, Zhang Xuan could only step forward and grab Luo Xuanqing's arms. "There's no need to stand on ceremony with me. We can be friends …"
Ever since they met, Luo Xuanqing had always been to his liking. Even though he did not become Luo Xuanqing's brother-in-law in the end, he had never changed his mind!
I treat you as my brother, but you want to acknowledge me as your teacher …
"That Zhang Xuan of the Zhang clan has humiliated the dignity of our Luo Clan and caused my younger sister to grieve. I will never forgive him for that! However, his strength is growing by the day, and I'm no longer able to catch up to him. Teacher, please impart me the method to comprehend the Spatial Quintessence of Sealing! Once I master it, I'll exact my vengeance! If I don't kill that bastard, I swear that I'm not a man anymore! "
Luo Xuanqing spat through gritted teeth.
"…" Zhang Xuan's vision darkened, and he nearly fainted on the spot. He felt as if his head was about to explode. Thus, he could only try to console the other party. "This … Zhang Xuan might not have done it intentionally …"
I treat you as my brother, but not only does he want to acknowledge me as his teacher, he even wants to kill me … What the heck did I do to you?
"You think that he can disregard my younger sister's grief just because he didn't do it intentionally? You think that he can just walk away after humiliating the Luo Clan? " Luo Xuanqing raised his head and said, "Elder, I beseech you to grant my wish. As long as you accept me as your student, I'm willing to climb a mountain of swords and plunge into a sea of flames!"
"This …"
Zhang Xuan was truly frenzied.
If only he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have come to the Luo Clan.
Putting aside the fact that he was the only friend he acknowledged, the other party actually wanted him to acknowledge him as his teacher … More importantly, the other party's motive was to kill him …
If that's the case, should I teach him or not?
Feeling stifled, Zhang Xuan turned to look at Lozosy once more, only to see a smile on the latter's face, as if she had known that such a situation would occur.
"Ruoxin, did you know that I would be tested for the Luo Clan bloodline? Could it be that … your disguise amulet is behind it? "
Zhang Xuan suddenly recalled a matter, and he sent a telepathic message over.
He was definitely not from the Luo Family. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to match the young prodigy of the Zhang family and ignite the bloodline of the Zhang family.
Since it wasn't, but the bloodline test showed 'nine', there was only one possibility. That was … there was something wrong with the disguise amulet given by Lozosy!
"Un. It's forged using the unique zhenqi of those with unique constitutions. Not only can it alter one's appearance and soul aura, it can even disguise one's bloodline as well, such that even Ancient Sages won't be able to notice it. Besides, you have comprehended the Spatial Quintessence of Sealing. If you were to reach Ancient Sage, the bloodline you leave behind will be identical to theirs. It won't be a problem for you to reach nine, "Lozosy replied telepathically.
"This …"
Zhang Xuan's face twitched upon hearing those words.
After all, it was really the talisman's problem. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have used it …
Just that, to be able to even disguise one's bloodline … wasn't he a little too powerful?
Why had he never heard of such a thing in the world before?
"Brother Tianya, please don't turn me down. The Luo Clan is in dire need of a new clan head!"
Seeing the changes on Zhang Xuan's face, Luo Ganzhen thought that the latter was unwilling to accept the offer, so he hurriedly pleaded.
"It's not that I'm unwilling, but I'm really not suited to be the head of the Luo Clan …" Zhang Xuan shook his head. "Alright, I'll have to ask my wife first."
It was all due to Lozosy's amulet that they were in such a predicament. Otherwise, he would have long been able to escape.
Left with no choice, he could only use her as a shield.
"Sister-in-law, you're here too?"
Hearing that Zhang Xuan was going to ask about his wife, Luo Ganzhen was stunned for a moment before replying.
"That's right …" Zhang Xuan chuckled softly as he turned to a certain direction and raised his hand. "Lingxi, come over!"
"…"
She did not think that Zhang Xuan would push the blame onto her. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she could only nod helplessly before leaping onto the dueling platform.
"Clan Head Luo, I've promised my wife that I'll bring her out to roam the world for the rest of her life. She's nothing more than a fleeting cloud to me, so I have no choice but to give up on your favor!"
Grabbing Lozosy's hand tightly, Zhang Xuan sent a telepathic message to her. "Help me reject it …"
"This …"
Having her hand squeezed in front of everyone, Lozosy's face reddened. She rolled her eyes at Zhang Xuan and said, "Since you want me to say it, I'll say something fair. Actually … it's not a big deal for Tianya to become your clan head! "
"Hmm?"
Zhang Xuan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Why aren't you following the script?
That's not what I wanted you to say …
"However, he's too focused on his cultivation to deal with the affairs of the clan. Furthermore, the reason why he returned this time is to pass down the method to comprehend the Spatial Quintessence to the Luo Clan so that it can walk out of the shadow of the annulled engagement. As long as Clan Head Luo agrees to this request, it's not a big deal for him to become the clan head!" Lozosy replied.
"Alright, I'll agree to it!"
Luo Ganzhen hurriedly nodded.
As long as Luo Ganzhen did not have to deal with the affairs of the Luo Clan, they would be able to handle it themselves. This was something that they had already said before. If they could pass down the Spatial Quintessence of Sealing, that would be even better!
Regardless of how one looked at it, this was a win-win situation for the Luo Clan.
How could he possibly turn it down?
"Given the current situation, there's no way that the other party will let us off so easily. Why don't we agree to it for now? In any case, our identities are just a disguise, so they won't be able to find out about it.
As time passes, they'll just appoint a new clan head … "Lozosy sent a telepathic message to Zhang Xuan.
"This … Alright then."
Given the current situation, this was the only thing they could do.
As helpless as Zhang Xuan was, he still nodded in agreement.
What the heck was this? He had only wanted to make up for his debt to the Luo Clan, but who could have known that he would end up becoming the clan head instead?
This was great …
The clan head of the Zhang clan, the Luo clan, the sanctum head of the Sanctum of Sages, and there was a good chance that he would become the next Pavilion Master Mingshi Tang …
Nearly all of the top-tier powers on the Forsaken Continent had fallen under his rule …
Right, of the Three Premier Clans, there was also the Jiang Clan. Should he head there as well?
Perhaps he could become the clan head of the Luo Clan as well?
"The Luo Clan pays respect to Clan Head Luo!"
Since Luo Ganzhen had agreed to it, the rest was simple.
It just so happened that all of the Luo Clan's members were present. In order to welcome the Zhang clan's bride, all of the necessary items had been prepared, and it did not take long for the inauguration ceremony to be carried out.
While Zhang Xuan was busy with the inauguration ceremony, Nangong Yuanfeng and the others who had just left the Luo Clan felt deeply stifled.
"Teacher, what should we do if we fail the mission?"
Unable to hold himself back any longer, a young man asked.
"What else can we do? Let's return and face our punishment! "
Nangong Yuanfeng shook his head in disappointment. After a moment of silence, he said, "Alright, let's find a place to recuperate and recover our strength. After that, we'll pay a visit to the Zhang clan. I don't believe that the Zhang clan will have such a genius as well!"
"That's the only way …" the young man nodded. However, before he could finish his words, the space beneath him suddenly froze, and he found himself unable to advance any further.
Narrowing their eyes in alarm, the crowd quickly turned their gazes over, and they saw a beautiful figure floating not too far away. There was a round orb spinning in front of her, emanating astonishing might.
"Don't you think that it's rude of you to leave just like that after causing a ruckus in our Luo Clan?"
The young lady turned around to look at Zhang Xuan calmly.
