"That won't do …"
Zhang Xuan quickly shook his head.
If that were to happen, he might soon suffer from schizophrenia.
However, if Zhang Xuan didn't acknowledge one of them as his teacher, he wouldn't be able to become an assistant master teacher, and he wouldn't be able to take the master teacher examination.
Just thinking about it gave him a headache.
"Forget it, let's not think about it for now. However, it would be good for me to meet the three master teachers using Zhang Xuan's identity. Firstly, I can familiarize myself with them. Secondly, I can also ask them about the poison aura in my body!"
After a moment of hesitation, he made a decision.
Although the black aura in his body was not dangerous for the time being, it had to be removed. If 'Yang Xuan' went to ask about it, it would be unbecoming of him as an expert.
If Lu Xun, Wang Chao, and the others were to know of his thoughts, they would definitely cry themselves to death.
Seeing that it was impossible for them to acknowledge Yang Xuan as their teacher, they specially paid a visit to the three master teachers yesterday, but in the end, they didn't even manage to meet them... Yet, this fellow, despite the three master teachers wanting to meet him, he still had to consider the matter, and he had a look of reluctance on his face...
Would you die if you didn't act cool?
"When is the birthday banquet you mentioned? Who is that Elder Tian that even the three master teachers and Emperor Shen Zhui went to pay a visit? "
Zhang Xuan was still a little puzzled.
To be able to make the three Great Master Teachers and Emperor Shen Zhui congratulate him personally, this Elder Tian is definitely not a simple character. If he is truly a formidable figure, Zhang Xuan's previous self should have known of him. Why doesn't he have any impression of him at all?
"The birthday banquet is today. We can still make it if we rush over now."
Upon hearing Zhang Xuan's question, Huang Yu knew that Zhang Xuan had made up his mind. Heaving a sigh of relief, she explained, "Elder Tian was once a teacher in Beiwu Academy. Liu Shi, Zhuang shi, and Zheng shi have all learned from him. Even though he doesn't direct his cultivation, he is still half a teacher to them. Since the three master teachers are in Tianxuan Kingdom for his ninetieth birthday, I must go and congratulate him..."
Even though this Elder Tian was a citizen of Tianxuan Kingdom, he had once taught in Beiwu Academy. The three master teachers had once studied under him, and they could be considered half a teacher to one another. The reason why Liu shi had Huang Yu return first was so that she could attend the birthday banquet.
In the end, due to Shen Hong's matter, the three master teachers gathered together. Since they are all in Tianxuan Kingdom, naturally, they have to attend the birthday banquet. Since they are going to attend, how can Emperor Shen Zhui not attend as well?
As for Beiwu Academy, it was the largest academy in Beiwu Kingdom. Huang Yu and Bai Xun were both students there.
Zhang Xuan had flipped through the entire kingdom's Book Collection Vault. With just a thought, he was able to understand these simple geographical divisions.
Beiwu Kingdom was a Tier 2 Kingdom close to Tianxuan Kingdom, and the master teachers in charge of it were Liu Ling and Zhuang Xian.
Kingdoms are divided into Conferred Kingdom, Tier-1 Kingdom, Tier-2 Kingdom, as well as Tianxuan Kingdom.
The higher the level of a kingdom and the more developed it was, the more abundant the trading resources would be, and the higher the level of martial artists would be.
"If this Elder Tian doesn't teach others how to cultivate, is he also a teacher?" Zhang Xuan was puzzled.
All of the teachers in Hongtian Academy are responsible for imparting cultivation. Even Wang Chao laoshi, who is famous for his spearmanship, not only imparts spearmanship to his students, he is also responsible for guiding them on their cultivation.
What else could he teach if not cultivation?
How could he be a teacher?
"Beiwu Academy is much larger than Hongtian Academy, and there are many different types of teachers there. Cultivation is just one of them, and there are also many teachers who teach special occupations. For example, an apothecary teacher teaches pill forging, a painter teacher teaches painting... For these occupations, students can treat it as their lifelong goal, and they can also supplement it to increase their knowledge and relax their mental state. In order to take the master teacher examination, Liu Shi and the others only studied for a short period of time, so they aren't considered as true students. Thus, they are only half teachers. "
Huang Yu explained patiently.
If a teacher only imparts cultivation to one's students, how can apothecaries, blacksmiths, and the other occupations be passed down? It can't be possible for a master teacher to do all of them for them!
If so, wouldn't a master teacher die of exhaustion?
Clearly, there are teachers who specialize in such occupations.
This Elder Tian was once a teacher of such a special occupation.
"Then what does he teach?" Coming to a realization, Zhang Xuan nodded his head.
This was similar to the schools in his previous life. There were teachers who taught physical education, English, mathematics, and physics. It was impossible for a teacher to be all-rounded, and naturally, he couldn't teach every subject.
"What Elder Tian teaches is the Way of Tea, and he is an official Tea Master!" Huang Yu smiled.
"Tea Master?"
There was an introduction on Tea Master in the kingdom's Book Collection Vault.
It was an occupation of the Lower Nine Paths, and it didn't sound impressive. However, it was highly sought after in some kingdoms.
Brewing tea could relax one's state of mind, allowing one to calm down. Some formidable tea masters were even able to brew tea that could soothe one's state of mind, allowing one to relax after drinking it. It was extremely beneficial to one's cultivation, and its effects weren't inferior to the Tranquil Heart Pill.
More importantly, the Way of Tea was much easier to learn than pill forging, smithing, painting, and the like. Even though it was difficult to become an official Tea Master, it was extremely easy to get started. In some high-tier kingdoms, there were many scions, nobles, generals, and ministers who knew a thing or two about it.
"Alright, I will go with you."
After clarifying what was going on, Zhang Xuan didn't delay any further. Since the birthday banquet was about to begin, he followed behind Huang Yu and Bai Xun and boarded the carriage.
Elder Tian resided in the suburbs of the capital, a distance away from Hongtian Academy. After traveling for nearly two hours, the carriage stopped in front of a massive manor.
Stepping out of the carriage, Zhang Xuan saw a huge crowd in the surroundings.
Elder Tian was once a teacher in Beiwu Academy, and he had guided many master teachers. Just this fact alone was enough to attract the attention of countless major powers.
"Master Zhang, follow me..."
Alighting from the carriage, Huang Yu led the way to the entrance, took out her name scroll, and easily entered the residence.
As expected of a residence that even the three master teachers had to pay a visit to, it was vast and filled with countless alleys. Those who had never been here before might even get lost.
"Liu Shi and the others shouldn't be here yet. We can wait for them in the side hall here."
Huang Yu seemed to have been here before, and she was extremely familiar with the area. The three of them proceeded forward, and soon, they arrived at a vast hall.
Even before he entered, he could already see a huge crowd. There were already quite a few people here.
"Xiao Yu, you're finally here..."
As soon as they walked through the doors of the hall, they heard a delighted voice. Following which, a young man walked up to them with a delighted expression.
This young man seemed to be around twenty-three to twenty-four years old. Dressed in white, he was extremely handsome, and even Zhang Xuan paled in comparison to him.
Upon seeing this person, Bai Xun's face darkened, and he immediately stood in front of Huang Yu.
"Bai Xun, what are you trying to do?" The corners of the young man's lips curled up.
"How dare you call her Xiao Yu? I advise you to stay away from her. Otherwise, don't blame me for getting nasty. "Bai Xun glared at the other party furiously.
"Nasty? It's not like we haven't fought before. Have you ever defeated me? "
Facing his threat, the young man paid no heed to it. "Besides, this is my home. Since Xiao Yu is here as a guest, I should be the host. Are you going to interfere in this? Bai xiao wangye, aren't you interfering too much? "
"You..." Bai Xun's eyebrows shot up, and he prepared to make a move.
"Enough!" As though knowing that the two of them would quarrel, Huang Yu frowned and looked at them. "We're here to offer our blessings to Elder Tian. If you want to fight, do it later!"
"Xiao Yu, don't worry. I can't be bothered to stoop to his level. He's just a martial artist who only knows how to fight!"
After which, the young man chuckled lightly. "Xiao Yu, I've just learned a tea brewing technique. Let's go, I'll bring you to taste it. It will definitely calm your mind. Drink it a few more times, and I guarantee that you'll reach Heart of Tranquil Water soon..."
"It's fine, I still have to wait for Liu Shi here!"
Huang Yu didn't mind the other party's enthusiasm and waved her hands to reject him.
"It's fine even if you don't want to go. I also want to pay my respects to Liu Shi, so I'll wait here with you..."
The young man didn't mind her rejection at all. Instead, he smiled.
Since he refused to leave, there was nothing Huang Yu could do.
"Shameless!" Bai Xun flew into a rage, but he didn't bring up the matter of making a move.
It seemed like he wasn't a match for this fellow. Otherwise, given his temper, he wouldn't have cared about offering his blessings.
Knowing the temper of this little wangye, the young man couldn't be bothered with him. Only then did he notice Zhang Xuan. Puzzled, he asked, "Xiao Yu, this is..."
"Oh, let me introduce him to you!" Huang Yu turned to look at him. "Master Zhang, this is Tian Long, the owner of this place, the only grandson of Elder Tian. Tian Long, this is Hongtian Academy's Zhang Xuan laoshi."
"Zhang Xuan? This name sounds familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere before... "
Upon hearing the name, the young man Tian Long frowned. After pondering for a moment, his eyes lit up, "Hongtian Academy. You are the one who challenged Lu Xun laoshi, Zhang Xuan of the Teacher Evaluation?"
The Teacher Evaluation had caused a huge commotion, so it was hard not to know about it.
"Lu Xun is the most formidable star teacher in Hongtian Academy. To dare challenge him in a Teacher Evaluation, you sure are gutsy. I am impressed!"
Even though the other party said that he was impressed, there wasn't the slightest hint of admiration on his face. Instead, he was gloating.
Lu Xun had been famous for many years. Furthermore, as the son of Master Lu Chen, he was extremely famous. Almost everyone thought that this duel would be a one-sided one.
Seeing his reaction, Zhang Xuan shook his head.
He was just another arrogant nobody.
"Tian Long, what do you mean by that?" Bai Xun couldn't stand it anymore.
"Nothing much. It's important to know one's own limitations. Overestimating one's capabilities will only make one's life more tiring." Tian Long shook his head.
"Speak clearly. Who is overestimating himself? Master Zhang is just trying to keep a low profile... "Bai Xun said furiously.
Even though he knew of Lu Xun, he wasn't familiar with him. Thus, Zhang Xuan was filled with admiration for him. Upon hearing the other party's words, he immediately flew into a rage.
"Master? What master? Do you think the title of master is something that can be casually addressed? "
Tian Long sneered. Flinging his hands, he said haughtily, "That is a title given to those who have reached a certain level in their occupation. Take my grandfather for example. Only those who have reached the pinnacle of the Way of Tea are qualified to be addressed as Master Tea Master. For a twenty-year-old teacher of Hongtian Academy to address him as teacher, it is already a show of respect. Yet, you dare to address him as master? You really don't know your place... "
Sneering coldly, Tian Long was just about to continue speaking when an elder walked over. He immediately shut his mouth and clasped his hands respectfully. "Tian Long pays respect to Master Yuanyu!"
The one who came was the number one physician of Tianxuan Kingdom, Yuanyu.
In response to his respect, Master Yuanyu nodded his head calmly. Just as he was about to continue walking forward, he suddenly caught sight of Zhang Xuan. His eyes lit up and he immediately rushed over with a passionate look.
"Master Zhang, you are here as well... Long time no see!"
