"Lu Xun, what do you mean by that?"
Upon hearing those words, Huang Yu couldn't hold it in any longer.
What do you mean by being scolded? What do you mean by losing my reputation?
Miss Zhang was invited by the three master teachers to the birthday banquet. Why did it become an embarrassment in your words?
"I don't mean anything. You should go to a certain place based on your identity. Huang Yu xiaojie, I know that you are an assistant teacher and you are deeply trusted and doted on by Liu Shi. However, you mustn't act recklessly. This is Elder Tian's birthday banquet, so it's best for you to be careful! Who is Elder Tian? He was once Liu Shi's teacher, and he is half a teacher to you. If you bring a disreputable low-level teacher here and incur the displeasure of Liu Shi, you will be in trouble! "
Lu Xun shook his head.
There was no sarcasm or anger on his face. It was as though he was stating the simplest of facts.
In his eyes, it didn't matter whether Zhang Xuan scored a zero in the Teacher Qualification Examination or not. That fellow was just a low-level teacher. He didn't have the right to participate in such a high-class birthday banquet. If he were to forcefully bring him here, it would only lower his standing.
This was like bringing a beggar to a restaurant. No matter how beautiful the beggar was, if he were to be dragged down by his companions, he would become a joke.
A dragon is a dragon when it is with a phoenix. If it is with a pig, it is a dog.
"You..."
Upon hearing those words, Huang Yu was about to say something when Zhang Xuan waved his hands, walked to the table, and sat down.
He casually picked up a teacup and poured a bowl of tea. Then, he lifted his head to look at the two arrogant star teachers.
"In the end, I am just a disreputable low-level teacher. Since that's the case... Great Lu laoshi, why do you want to compete with me in the Teacher Evaluation? Wouldn't that be a disgrace to your reputation of being wise and mighty? "
Initially, he couldn't be bothered with these two fellows acting cool. Who knew...
Didn't I give you face? So what if I'm unhappy if you don't step on me?
Upon hearing those words, Huang Yu and Bai Xun glanced at one another. At the same time, they were impressed. As expected of Master Zhang, his words were vicious.
Right, didn't you say that he would drag me down?
Since that's the case, as a star teacher, why do you want to compete with him? Aren't you slapping your own face?
"You?" Lu Xun smiled lightly, not showing any signs of being slapped in the face. He raised his eyelids and said, "You're just a stepping stone for me to climb up. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame your bad luck for bumping into me."
"Springboard?"
"That's right. The Teacher Evaluation tomorrow will definitely attract Yang shi and the other three master teachers. At that time, Brother Lu will display the results of his teaching. At that time, the four master teachers will surely view him in a different light. Brother Lu will be able to leap through the dragon gate and become a true assistant master teacher. On the other hand, you are just an accessory!"
Wang Chao smiled gently and looked at him with a pitiful expression.
He was just a stepping stone. Did he really think that he was someone important?
To be honest, it's your honor to be able to trample on you. You should feel honored.
"Are you sure you can win?"
It was only at this moment that Zhang Xuan realized the other party's intentions, and he shook his head.
He didn't know the thoughts of the three master teachers, but 'Yang shi' definitely wouldn't come and watch. Furthermore, it was impossible for him to accept Lu Xun as his apprentice.
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether we win or not. There might be something else that you don't know about!"
Just as Wang Chao and Lu Xun were about to continue speaking, Tian Long laughed.
"What?"
Wang Chao turned to look at him.
Tian Long smiled confidently. "One of the reasons why Liu Shi came to the capital is to celebrate my grandfather's birthday. The main reason is to accept Brother Lu as his assistant master teacher. This matter is supposed to be a secret, but Liu Shi mentioned it in his letter to the old master. I happened to see it and know about it."
"Oh? Really? "
Lu Xun's eyes lit up. "Of course.
With Brother Lu's reputation, it's normal for a master teacher to recognize you. Liu Shi is my grandfather's student, so he didn't dare to hide anything from him. Thus, he wrote about it in detail in his letter. It's precisely because of this that I decided to send you an invitation. I intend to introduce you to him so that he can acknowledge you as his teacher and accept you as his disciple on the spot. This will become a legend! "
Tian Long said.
"Thank you for your kindness, Elder Tian..."
Hearing the other party's confirmation, Lu Xun stood up excitedly.
Knowing that there was no hope on Yang shi's side, he turned his attention to the three master teachers. However, the three master teachers seemed to be absent for the past two days, and he couldn't pay them a visit. This made him anxious.
He thought that he would fail like Yang shi. Never in his dreams did he expect that Liu Shi had already taken a liking to him.
This is great.
"Looks like we're going to be fellow apprentices in the future..."
Smiling happily, Lu Xun turned to Huang Yu and revealed a kind smile.
"Who's going to be fellow apprentice with you!" Huang Yu harrumphed coldly.
She had no idea what Liu Shi was thinking, but since Tian Long dared to say such words, he must be confident. Could it be that... she was really going to be fellow apprentice with this fellow?
Huang Yu was conflicted.
This fellow's arrogant expression made her extremely displeased.
However, to be honest, this fellow was indeed capable. Even she was impressed by him.
To be able to thrive in Tianxuan Kingdom without the guidance of a master teacher, he must have a deep understanding of teaching.
"Did you hear that? Brother Lu is going to be a master teacher apprentice soon. Do you still have the face to remain here? "
Upon receiving such good news, Wang Chao was delighted as well. He glanced at the nonchalant Zhang Xuan and felt even more disgusted.
"Going to be? Didn't you say that you haven't accepted him yet? "
Zhang Xuan couldn't be bothered with their happiness.
He didn't expect that Liu Shi had already taken a liking to Lu Xun. He couldn't help but consider whether he should use his identity as' Yang Xuan 'to persuade him.
After all, if 'Yang Xuan' were to accept Liu Ling as his student, Lu Xun would be his grand-disciple. This fellow was so arrogant and pretentious...
He didn't want such a grand-disciple!
He really didn't want it!
"Let's see if you can still keep up the act later..."
Seeing how this fellow refused to shed a tear even in the face of the coffin, the two men who desperately wanted to become his grand-disciple looked at him with disdain.
They had seen arrogant people before, but this was the first time they had seen such an arrogant person.
As long as the three master teachers arrived, Lu Xun would immediately become an assistant master teacher. Yet, he still had the cheek to remain here... How could he be so shameless?
Furthermore, he was still sitting on the spot, pouring tea for himself... How could he possibly drink this tea!
If it was me, I would have jumped off the building in embarrassment...
"Hehe, Brother Wang, you can't say that. I just heard Xiao Yu and Bai xiao wangye addressing this Miss Zhang as Master Zhang. I heard that he is a master painter, and he is an awe-inspiring figure!"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan's skin was unimaginably thick, Tian Long said with an impassive smile.
"Master painter?"
Lu Xun placed his hands behind his back and glanced at Tian Long with disdain. "Master painter? Don't you find it laughable? There should be a limit to your bragging! "
Even though he hadn't returned home for many years, how could he not know how difficult it was to become a master painter?
It was one thing for a famous trash teacher in the academy to strike up a relationship with Huang Yu, but the more he acted, the more he got addicted to it.
"Indeed, Brother Tian must have heard wrongly. Brother Lu was born in a family of painters, and his father, Master Lu Chen, is the most formidable master painter in Tianxuan Kingdom. Even Emperor Shen Zhui learned from him. Brother Lu has come into contact with painting ever since he was young. How could he not know whether there are any master painters in the kingdom? "
Wang Chao shook his head with a smile.
"With the two of you speaking up, I am relieved. I really thought that it was true. After all, Yuanyu..."
Just as Tian Long was about to tell them about Master Yuanyu's attitude, a commotion broke out downstairs.
"Hurry up, the three master teachers are here!"
"And Emperor Shen Zhui, hurry up and welcome them..."
Discussions broke out.
"The three master teachers and Emperor Shen Zhui are here?"
Hearing the commotion below, Tian Long immediately fell silent. He turned to Lu Xun and Wang Chao and said, "Brother Lu, Brother Wang, let's go down and welcome them as well!"
"Alright!"
With the arrival of the three master teachers, the people in the room could no longer sit still and hurried down the stairs.
"Senior Huang Yu, let's go and welcome our teacher!"
Lu Xun chuckled.
"Who are you calling your senior..." Huang Yu harrumphed and glanced at Zhang Xuan.
"Let's go down!"
Knowing that Huang Yu, as a student, had to welcome her teacher, Zhang Xuan nodded his head.
Besides, he was here to meet the three master teachers. Since he was here, he might as well go and take a look.
Hualala!
The few of them walked out in a single file. At this moment, there was no one on the first floor.
Walking out of the hall, they saw a few figures walking along the corridor ahead. They were Liu Ling, Zhuang Xian, Zheng Fei, and Emperor Shen Zhui.
Even though they were respectful before Yang shi, they still carried an imposing aura here.
"Paying respect to Liu Shi, Zhuang shi, Zheng shi, and His Majesty!"
There was no lack of clan heads and elders who came to attend the birthday banquet. At this moment, all of them lowered their heads.
"Just like you, we are here to offer our blessings to Elder Tian. There's no need to stand on ceremony."
Emperor Shen Zhui chuckled.
Even though he spoke casually, no one dared to do so. Thus, all of them smiled apologetically, not daring to speak a word.
"Let's go over!"
Upon seeing the three master teachers and Emperor Shen Zhui walking over, Tian Long smiled and led Lu Xun and Wang Chao forward to welcome them. As a master teacher apprentice, how could Huang Yu fall behind? Thus, she walked alongside Bai Xun and Zhang Xuan.
"Teacher!"
Upon arriving, Huang Yu and Bai Xun bowed.
"Did you manage to invite him?"
Upon seeing the duo, Liu Ling, Zhuang Xian, and Zheng Fei's eyes lit up.
For the past two days, they had been waiting in Hongtian Academy, waiting for Zhang Xuan to return so that they could find an opportunity to take him in as their apprentice. Never in their wildest dreams did they expect that fellow to never return. It was as though he had vanished into thin air. Even Emperor Shen Zhui was unable to find a trace of him.
Left with no choice, they could only send Huang Yu and Bai Xun to look for him. Initially, they didn't hold much hope for him. However, upon seeing that there wasn't the slightest hint of dejection on the duo's faces, their hearts jolted.
"We managed to invite him. He's the one beside me..."
Just as Huang Yu was about to introduce him, Lu Xun interrupted her and clasped his fist in agitation. "I am Lu Xun. Paying respect to Liu Shi, Zhuang shi, Zheng shi..."
After introducing himself, he thought that the three master teachers would immediately greet him warmly and accept him as their apprentice. However, the three of them ignored him, as though they didn't see him at all. Instead, they walked up to Tian Long and surrounded him with smiles on their faces.
"You must be Zhang Xuan laoshi. We have finally met you in person. It took us so long to find you..."
"Ah?" Tian Long was stunned.
