"I, Lu Xun, have made a name for myself in Tianxuan Kingdom, so I do have this much confidence in myself. As for whether Yang shi will accept me or not, and whether I can return the three million RMB, you don't have to worry about that!"
Seeing that the emperor and the three master teachers were silent, a merchant dressed in a fur coat and a brocade hat asked. Lu Xun couldn't help but frown.
The fact that the other party was able to sit together with the three master teachers and the emperor meant that his standing wasn't low. However, Lu Xun had his own pride as well. Putting aside the fact that he came from the royal tutor's family, just the fact that he had become the most famous star teacher in Tianxuan Kingdom at such a young age gave him the right to sit on equal footing with the clan heads of some of the major clans.
Even the head of the Wang Clan, Wang Hong, had to address him respectfully as Lu laoshi.
The person in front of him looked like a nouveau riche. He did not have the slightest bit of elegance. So what if he had some status? I am speaking to Emperor Shen Zhui, it is not your place to point your fingers at me and make comments!
Who do you think you are?
Seeing how confident Zhang Xuan was, the three master teachers and the others nearly choked on their saliva.
Even the three of us master teachers dare not show the slightest disrespect to you... As a star teacher who isn't even an apprentice, what are you putting on airs for?
"I'm not worried. I just feel that if I don't return the money, I won't be able to pay it back. How am I going to explain it to His Majesty? Even if I sell you, you won't be worth it!"
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
He had reminded Zhang Xuan out of goodwill, but the other party replied in such a manner. He was truly helpless.
"Sir, please watch your language!"
This time, before Lu Xun could speak, Wang Chao narrowed his eyes and said, "Lu Xun laoshi is the number one star teacher in Hongtian Academy. It is only a matter of time before he becomes a master teacher. Would he renege on a mere three million gold coins? What kind of joke was this? To put it bluntly, this sum of money is something that others might not even accept. Do you think that the favor of a future master teacher is so easily owed? "
"Alright!"
Ignoring Zhang Xuan, he clasped his fist toward Shen Zhui and said, "Your Majesty, you should know what kind of person I, Lu Xun, am. Even if Yang shi refuses to return the money, as long as I am willing to, I am confident that I can repay the debt within a short period of time. This bit of money isn't enough for me to go back on my word!"
Star teachers might not be able to match up to master teachers, but they were still capable of guiding others in their cultivation. Three million might be a huge sum, but as long as one was willing, it was still possible to earn it within a short period of time.
"This …"
Emperor Shen Zhui hesitated.
Three million gold coins was nothing much to a kingdom. The reason why Zhang Xuan was hesitating was because he was worried that he might incur the displeasure of Yang shi.
Paying no heed to the other party's rude attitude, Zhang Xuan continued, "I seem to have heard that Yang shi is no longer meeting outsiders. Even if you have the money, you might not be able to meet him!"
This fellow is Master Lu Chen's son. It is impossible for the latter to know that he is here to borrow money. No matter what, he has to dissuade him from doing so.
Even though Zhang Xuan's relationship with Zhang Xuan could be considered as enemies in the Teacher Evaluation, this was a completely different matter. Master Lu Chen had helped Zhang Xuan a lot, and as an elder, he had the right to remind his son of his foolishness.
"Whether I can see him or not is my own business. Mister, don't you think that you're overstepping your boundaries and meddling too much?"
Seeing that the other party was being so tactless, Lu Xun finally got a little displeased. "I am borrowing money from His Majesty, not you. His Majesty will make his own decision on whether to lend it to me or not. There is no need for you to worry about it."
He flicked his sleeves.
Are you sick in the head? You have been obstructing me from borrowing money from Emperor Shen Zhui. Not only are you unable to pay me back, you also say that the money I borrowed is useless. What do you mean by that?
Do you think that I, Lu Xun, am a pushover?
As a star teacher, if he doesn't have the slightest bit of dignity and allow others to speak of him as they please, how can he continue to exist in Tianxuan Kingdom in the future? Besides, the three master teachers are still watching. If he were to be criticized by others and become a yes-man, how would he be qualified to attempt to become an apprentice master teacher in the future?
"Mister, regardless of your identity, this is a matter between Lu Xun laoshi and His Majesty. Don't you think that your mouth is too big for you to butt in?"
Wang Chao harrumphed coldly.
Who do you think you are? Can't you see that the three master teachers aren't saying a word?
Will you die if you don't speak?
"Mouth is too big for me?"
Zhang Xuan was only trying to dissuade the other party out of goodwill. He didn't expect to be despised by the other party, so he shook his head helplessly.
His identity as' Yang shi 'is going to disappear very soon. Clearly, you are making a mistake by trying to become his apprentice. Initially, he thought that he would be able to dispel the other party's thoughts with a few words. Yet, never in his dreams did he expect that his goodwill would be treated as ill intent.
Not only did the other party not appreciate his goodwill, he even became a chatterbox.
However, given the other party's attitude, there was nothing for him to be angry about. If he were to borrow money from someone else, he would definitely be displeased if the other party kept interrupting him.
"You are Lu Xun, right? I have heard of your name before I came here. I think that Yang... is right. You should consider it!"
While Zhang Xuan ignored the other party's sarcasm, Liu Ling couldn't tolerate it any longer.
Initially, he had a good impression of Lu Xun and intended to take him in as his apprentice. However, he didn't expect to see such a scene on their first meeting. To speak to Yang shi in such a manner, the other party was simply too arrogant. The last bit of goodwill he had for Lu Xun vanished without a trace.
"Thank you for your advice, Liu Shi. I have already made up my mind..."
Upon hearing Liu Shi's words, Lu Xun didn't dare to act arrogant. He hurriedly clasped his hands, and his attitude was completely different from when he spoke to Zhang Xuan.
Seeing that the other party didn't understand his intentions, Liu Ling shook his head silently.
Yang shi had stopped Emperor Shen Zhui from revealing his identity. Clearly, he didn't want the other party to know of his identity. Since that was the case, he wouldn't say anything either.
"It's just three million, there's no need to talk about borrowing it. Master Lu Chen is my teacher, so there's no harm in giving it to you directly!"
Seeing that Yang shi didn't seem to have any intention of blaming him, Emperor Shen Zhui felt reassured.
This sum of money was nothing to the prestigious clans, not to mention a kingdom. As the son of his teacher, he didn't mind giving it to him for free.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! However, since I have already said that I will borrow it, I will borrow it. I don't want to be indebted to him! "Lu Xun waved his hands proudly.
He had already fallen out with the old master of his family. His father was him, and he was himself.
How could he possibly take advantage of the other party?
"Go and withdraw three million gold coins!"
Knowing that there was some conflict between father and son, Emperor Shen Zhui didn't say anything more. Instead, he waved his hands to the eunuch beside him.
The eunuch turned around and left. Not too long later, he returned with a stack of gold notes.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I, Lu Xun, will return it soon!"
After receiving the gold notes, Lu Chen clasped his hands once more.
"Un!" Emperor Shen Zhui waved his hands.
If he could return it, so be it. If not, so be it. He didn't mind it at all.
Now that the old ancestor had achieved a breakthrough to Zongshi realm, Tianxuan Kingdom would surely grow stronger and stronger. Once it could attract a master teacher, it might even become a Tier 2 Kingdom. A mere three million gold coins meant nothing to him.
"Lu Xun (Wang Chao), I won't disturb Your Majesty any longer. Farewell!"
With the money in his hands, Lu Xun turned around to leave.
However, after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and lifted his head to look at Zhang Xuan.
"I don't know who you are, but to be able to discuss matters with the three master teachers and His Majesty here, you shouldn't be a simple person. However, I still have something to warn you about!"
"Oh?" Zhang Xuan looked at him.
"It's best not to interrupt a conversation between others. It's annoying!" Lu Xun swung his arm with a proud expression, and he seemed like a pure and untainted lotus flower, pure and arrogant. His footsteps didn't stop as he walked out.
Glancing at Zhang Xuan, Wang Chao sneered and chased after him.
After the duo left, the room fell silent. The three master teachers stared at one another speechlessly.
"This fellow... Where does his confidence come from?"
After a long while, Zhuang shi couldn't help but ask.
He had been holding it in for too long.
A mere star teacher, who couldn't even be considered an apprentice, actually dared to criticize Yang shi, whom even they were wary of...
Isn't he way too gutsy!
"Initially, I intended to accept him as my apprentice, but from the looks of it now, I think it's better to forget about it. He is impolite and disrespectful..."
Liu Ling shook his head.
Lu Xun's reputation was so great that it was no longer limited to Tianxuan Kingdom. Liu Ling and the others had long heard of him, but they didn't expect that their first meeting would be so awkward.
"Yang shi, I'm sorry. He probably... doesn't know your identity. He didn't mean to offend you..."
Seeing the dissatisfaction of the three master teachers, Emperor Shen Zhui hurriedly turned to look at Yang Xuan, hoping that he wouldn't get angry.
"It's nothing much. Having achieved so much at such a young age, it's inevitable for him to be a little arrogant!" Zhang Xuan shook his head and stood up. "Alright, since Shen Hong has achieved a breakthrough, it's time for me to leave. I hope that Your Majesty can gather all the Tongxuan realm secret manuals as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Emperor Shen Zhui hurriedly nodded his head.
"Farewell!"
After bidding farewell to the other three master teachers, Zhang Xuan felt that there was no need for him to stay. Thus, he clasped his fist and left. Seeing this sight, the three master teachers and Emperor Shen Zhui felt their blood boiling once more.
Did you see that?
If it was anyone else, they would definitely try to extort someone for a breakthrough. On the other hand, Zhang Xuan acted nonchalantly, not taking a single cloud with him...
Even when he was questioned and mocked by a junior, he didn't feel the slightest bit of anger or anger.
"This is the magnanimity and magnanimity a true master teacher should have!"
Liu Ling praised.
"Indeed! I'm impressed by this Yang shi. It would be a blessing of three lifetimes to be able to come under his tutelage! "Zheng Fei hurriedly nodded his head.
"I've heard of Lu Xun's reputation, but to think that he would behave in such a manner after meeting him!" Recalling Lu Xun's previous performance, Liu Ling shook his head. Then, he suddenly recalled something and asked, "Your Majesty mentioned that he will be conducting a Teacher Evaluation with a teacher named Zhang Xuan in a few days. May I know if that is true?"
After staying in Tianxuan Kingdom for a period of time, Liu Ling had paid special attention to Hongtian Academy. This matter wasn't a secret and he could easily find out about it.
"There is indeed such a matter!" Emperor Shen Zhui nodded his head.
Upon returning to the royal palace, he received a report from Pavilion Elder Qian and learned of this 3-star incident.
Even though the battle between the two teachers wasn't as shocking as Master Teacher Yang Xuan's visit to Tianxuan Kingdom, it had stirred up a huge commotion and attracted the attention of countless people.
"To be able to compete with him, this Zhang Xuan should be a star teacher of Hongtian Academy as well, right? Why haven't I heard of it before? "
Liu Shi looked at Zhang Xuan doubtfully.
A soldier against a soldier, a general against a general. Lu Xun is the number one star teacher of Hongtian Academy. Since this Miss Zhang dares to challenge him, she shouldn't be too far off from him.
However, he had heard of many young and promising teachers, but why hadn't he heard of this name?
