At this moment, it was already a mess outside. Zheng Yang wielded his spear, while Wang Ying and the others looked as if they were facing a great enemy. As for Yuan Tao, he was hugging the table and stool in the room, his face filled with killing intent.
At the front of the room, ink was splattered all over the floor. Three black-skinned fellows were standing at the entrance with frenzied looks on their faces.
Clearly, when they tried to enter, their disciples splashed ink on them, causing them to be pitch-black.
"Miss Zhang, it's these three shameless fellows who come to peep on us every day..."
"To peep on female students at your age, aren't you ashamed?"
Upon seeing Zhang Xuan, Yuan Tao and Liu Yang hurriedly called out to him, as though fawning over him.
However, before they could finish their words, they saw the usually calm Miss Zhang's mouth twitching. Her body swayed, and she was about to fall to the ground.
"Liu Shi, Zhuang shi, Zheng shi... Why are you all here?"
Zhang Xuan was on the verge of tears.
Previously, when the disciples said that there were three perverted old men, he had been observing them for the past few days and thought that they were perverted men. Never in his dreams did he expect them to be the three master teachers.
Master teachers... You could have just come to look for me openly. Why did you wear casual clothes and hide by the side? What the heck are you up to?
Now, I was splashed with ink right in front of my face...
Not only so, I was even scolded for being shameless and perverted...
"Liu Shi?"
"Zhuang shi?"
"Zheng shi?"
Hearing Miss Zhang's words, Zheng Yang, Zhao Ya, and the others staggered.
News of the arrival of the three master teachers in the capital had spread far and wide. Naturally, they knew how to address them.
They thought that the fellows who came to peep on them were perverted men who coveted Zhao Ya's beauty. Never in their dreams did they expect them to be the three renowned master teachers of the kingdom...
Weren't master teachers supposed to be lofty figures who were difficult to meet?
Why were they here and stalking them?
"Teacher Zhang, did you get the wrong person? Which master teacher would be so perverted as to wear such clothes and hide by the side, fearing that we would notice you? "
Zheng Yang couldn't hold himself back anymore.
"Apologize?"
Zhang Xuan almost choked on his own saliva.
Damn it, what the hell did he teach them?
Other people would scam their fathers, grandfathers, and at worst, their grandchildren. Yet, all of you came here to scam your teacher.
The other party was a master teacher. With just a stomp of his feet, even Emperor Shen Zhui would tremble in fear. Yet, not only did the few of you splash ink on them, you didn't even apologize, and you even said that they were vulgar...
Wretched your sister!
To be honest, I really wanted to admit my mistake. That way, everything would be fine.
How do you expect me to resolve this situation?
Zhang Xuan was so stifled that he was on the verge of tears. On the other hand, the three master teachers were on the verge of going berserk. Their mouths were twitching uncontrollably, and they felt like committing suicide.
As soon as Zhang Xuan left Elder Tian Manor, he rushed straight to the academy, found his classroom, and pushed open the door. As soon as he entered, he was greeted by the sight of pitch-black ink gushing toward him. He didn't even have the time to react or dodge it …
What the hell is going on?
We are master teachers, esteemed and respected existences no matter where we go. Why would we be splashed with ink here? As a pervert?
If word were to spread, how could we still be alive?
"Miss Zhang, I am certain that it is the three of them. They have been loitering around the area for the past two days, spying on us. If they aren't up to no good, what else could they be …"
Afraid that Miss Zhang wouldn't believe Zheng Yang's words, Wang Ying spoke up as well.
"I am also certain that even if they were reduced to ashes, I would be able to recognize them!" Liu Yang said confidently.
"All of you, shut up!"
Seeing how these fellows were getting more and more unreliable with their words, Zhang Xuan couldn't hold himself back any longer.
After berating them, he braced himself and walked forward. "Master teachers, I have failed in disciplining them and brought you trouble. I will teach them a lesson later and give you a satisfactory answer …"
"It's fine, it's fine!"
"The ignorant are not to be blamed …"
"Forget it, we were in the wrong in the first place!"
Liu Ling, Zhuang Xian, and Zheng Fei squeezed out a smile that was on the verge of tears.
"Yuan Tao and Zheng Yang, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and buy some clothes for the three master teachers to change into."
Seeing that they had no intention of flying into a rage, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. He kicked Yuan Tao and Zheng Yang on their buttocks, sending them flying far away.
"Yes, yes!"
At this moment, they finally understood that these three wretched-looking old men might really be master teachers. Their faces turned green from fright.
Anyone would know how fearsome master teachers were. They actually splashed ink on the faces of three master teachers, causing them to end up in such a state ….
Just the thought of it made them want to cry.
But … they really didn't do it on purpose.
Who would have thought that master teachers would wear casual clothes and sneak around their classroom to observe and even point fingers at them?
"This … Master teachers, have you been around the classroom for the past few days?"
After finding a towel for them to wipe the ink off their faces, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but ask.
As master teachers, what are you doing here instead of enjoying the service of others in the royal palace?
Even if you want to take me in as your apprentice, knowing that I'm not around, you don't have to go so far as to point fingers at my students.
"We … we …"
Hearing his direct question, Liu Shi and the others opened their mouths in shock. They were so embarrassed that they couldn't say a word.
What should they say?
That we heard of your deeds and wanted to sneak over to check on you?
Spying on your students, discreetly gathering information, and fearing that it would be discovered …. If they were to say such words, what would become of the dignity of master teachers?
"I have an old friend in Hongtian Academy. Since I have nothing to do these few days, I came over to visit him. Your environment here is pretty good, so … we decided to stay a little longer."
Zheng Fei reacted quickly and replied with a smile.
"Environment here is pretty good?"
Zhang Xuan looked at them with a perplexed expression.
He had seen people lying through their teeth, but he had never seen someone lying through their teeth so confidently.
My classroom is the furthest corner of the academy, the worst place. How inexperienced must you three master teachers be to think that the environment here is pretty good?
Furthermore, you have friends in Hongtian Academy?
Why haven't I heard of it before?
If you did, you would have been here long ago!
"Oh, so that's the case. My students are inexperienced and thought that you are bad people. Please don't take it to heart …."
Knowing that the other party was unwilling to reveal the truth, Zhang Xuan didn't say anything.
Soon, Yuan Tao and the others returned with new clothes. After changing into them, the three master teachers felt much more comfortable.
"Miss Zhang, you should know why we are here to look for you, right?"
Regaining his disposition, Liu Ling looked at the young man before him with a smile.
After observing them for the past few days, regardless of whether it was Miss Zhang or his students, he was extremely satisfied with them. If he could take them in as his apprentice, he would have profited greatly.
Zhao Ya knew that the three of them were master teachers. Thus, she pricked up her ears, curious to hear what was going on.
"I've guessed it as well. The three master teachers wish to take me in as their apprentice, right?"
Knowing that it was impossible for him to avoid it, Zhang Xuan spoke up.
"Take in apprentice?"
"The three master teachers wish to take in Miss Zhang as their apprentice?"
"If Miss Zhang were to agree to it, she would become a master teacher apprentice?"
...
Upon hearing those words, Zhao Ya and the others flushed in agitation.
As a teacher, their greatest dream was to become a master teacher. Master teacher apprentice was an insurmountable hurdle.
Only by becoming a master teacher apprentice would they have the chance to become one.
Yet, the three master teachers chose to look for Miss Zhang instead of Lu Xun laoshi. How could they not be agitated?
"Un, that's right. The three of us have the same thoughts. You can join any of our tutelage!"
Seeing that he understood, Liu Ling nodded his head in satisfaction.
"I can join any of our tutelage?"
His disciples were so excited that they were about to jump in joy.
If that was the case, didn't it mean that the three master teachers had set their eyes on their Miss Zhang?
"This..." Zhang Xuan scratched his head in embarrassment. "Can I reject it?"
Putong! Putong! Putong!
Zhao Ya and the others fell to the ground.
A master teacher personally invited you to become his apprentice, but you rejected him?
Did we hear wrongly?
"Reject?"
Liu Ling and the others were in disbelief and they were taken aback.
"Yes!" Zhang Xuan nodded his head.
With the Library of Heaven's Path in his possession, he was destined to walk further down the path. Honestly speaking, Liu Ling and the others were still far from being his teachers.
"I know that we were a little rash on this matter, but there's no need to be anxious. How about this, I'll give you some time to consider. It won't be too late for you to reply to us tomorrow!"
Not expecting the other party to be so certain, Liu Ling knew that he had been a little rash. He smiled awkwardly.
"Tomorrow is fine too. Think about it carefully today. You must know that without the identity of a master teacher apprentice and the recommendation of a master teacher, it is impossible for one to take the master teacher examination."
Zhuang Xian spoke up.
"Indeed. With your aptitude in teaching and talent, it would be a waste if you don't take the master teacher examination..." Zheng Fei added.
"Oh... I'll consider it carefully then!" Zhang Xuan nodded his head.
He had to take the master teacher examination. However, acknowledging these three fellows as his teachers was truly a headache for him.
There was no other reason...
It was because these three fellows had always wanted to become Yang shi's students.
They had always wanted to become his student, and now, they even wanted to accept him as their student... What in the world was going on...
"Un! Alright, we'll come over tomorrow. "
Seeing that Zhang Xuan didn't reject them, the three master teachers heaved a sigh of relief.
"Right, Liu Shi, Zhuang shi, and Zheng shi, I have something I would like to ask you all."
Seeing that the other party wasn't hesitating on this matter, Zhang Xuan recalled the poison aura in his body and asked.
"Oh? What is it? Feel free to speak your mind! As long as we know something, we will tell you everything we know. "Liu Ling stroked his beard.
"It's like this. I would like to ask, where can I find books on [Poison]? The more the merrier? "Zhang Xuan asked.
As he had never seen the poison aura in his body before, he wasn't able to tell what it was. Even if he were to ask about it, it would be impossible for him to do so. On the contrary, if he were to ask about it, he might as well ask for books.
In any case, as long as he had sufficient books and the Library of Heaven's Path, he would be able to find out what kind of poison it was.
"Books on poison?"
Not expecting the young man before them to ask such a question, the three master teachers glanced at one another.
After hesitating for a moment, Liu Ling said with a grim expression, "The one who knows the most about poison is the [Poison Temple]!"
"Poison Temple?"
Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
There were many books on poison in Tianxuan Kingdom's Book Collection Vault, but this place had never been mentioned. This was the first time he had heard of it.
"Un, it's the Poison Temple!"
Liu Ling nodded his head.
