"Un!"
Seeing that the Crimson Tiger had indeed reached Zongshi realm pinnacle, Zhang Xuan nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, he turned to Jiang Shu and said impassively, "I am Yang Xuan.
I am only passing by Tianwu Royal City and will be staying here for a period of time. During this period of time, we will be master and disciple. After we leave, you will still be you, and I will still be me. It is just fate that brought us together. You mustn't use my name to swindle others, or else, I will kill you! "
The reason why he accepted this student was to form the golden page. Naturally, he couldn't bring him along with him all the time.
"Yes!"
Jiang Shu nodded his head in disappointment.
Even though he didn't reject the other party's request, he was still a little reluctant.
When he fed the pill to the Crimson Tiger, the latter achieved a breakthrough. Only then did he realize how fortunate he was to be able to acknowledge such a person as his teacher.
To casually forge an ordinary recovery pill and turn it into a treasure for a savage beast to achieve a breakthrough, he had never heard of such means before.
Just from this alone, it was clear that the person before him wasn't just a 3-star master teacher.
"May I know where teacher lives so that I can pay you a visit?"
Knowing that it was a blessing to be able to become the other party's student for a period of time, Jiang Shu suppressed his disappointment and clasped his fist.
"I don't know where I will be staying for the time being. Once I do, I will send someone to inform you!" Zhang Xuan waved his hands. "Alright, you should return first!"
It wasn't something that could be accomplished in a short period of time. Accepting the other party as his student and gaining a certain level of trust from him was already a huge improvement.
If he were to hasten his footsteps, it might just backfire.
"Yes!"
Knowing that an expert had his own way of doing things, Jiang Shu didn't dare to say anything else. He leaped onto the Crimson Tiger and left.
"Hu!"
Seeing the other party leave, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
It was troublesome to pretend to be an expert before a master teacher.
After all, the other party possessed an incredible eye of discernment. The slightest mistake could lead to a huge problem.
"Right, I forgot to ask for the location of Tianwu Academy!"
He was intending to ask for the location of Tianwu Academy so that he could accept a few more students and groom them together. However, he ended up forgetting. He could only return to the city to look for more students.
Returning back to the capital.
This time, there was no one following them, and there were no other matters, so it was much easier to ask.
Tianwu Academy was the largest gathering place of talents in the capital, and almost everyone knew of it.
Soon, he found out the exact location.
Surprisingly, it was near Mingshi Tang, close to the center of the city. It would take at least one to four hours to walk there.
Hearing that it was so far away, Zhang Xuan, who originally wanted to find someone to trick overnight, stopped.
By the time Zhang Xuan arrived at Tianwu Royal City, the sky had already darkened. Eating, taking the painter examination, and reading books took more than two hours. Now, dealing with the assailants and accepting Jiang Shu as his student took another two hours. Going by the time of his previous life, it was already eleven at night.
If he were to rush over at this hour, most of the people would already be asleep by the time he arrived. If he were to go over in the middle of the night, he might very well be mistaken for someone who had crawled out of a grave and be buried once more.
"Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow. Let's find a place to rest for the night!"
The continuous journey, coupled with the examinations, battles, and acting tough, had left Zhang Xuan exhausted.
"Hmm? "Tianwu Hotel?" Let's stay here! "
After walking along the streets for a moment, Zhang Xuan scanned his surroundings. An inn appeared before him, and he walked in.
The inn was spacious and clean. After asking around, he confirmed that there were still rooms available. Thus, he moved in.
Just as he entered his room, a few figures rushed into the hall anxiously.
"Zhao Ya isn't back yet?"
"That's right, Liu Shi!" Wang Ying replied timidly.
"Didn't I tell you to return within two hours regardless of whether you find her or not? It has already been so long, why isn't she back yet? "Liu Shi frowned.
"We … split up the moment we left. I didn't see her when I returned, so I thought that she had already returned to her room. Who knew that she wouldn't appear even after such a long time …" Wang Ying said.
"Lu Xun, bring Zheng Yang with you to the east. Sun Qiang, you, Liu Yang, and Yuan Tao will head to the west. Wang Ying, Huang Yu, and I will head to the north. The south is where the city gate is, so there's no need for you to head there!"
Liu Shi instructed. "No matter what, just like the previous time, you must return within two hours!"
"Yes!"
Everyone nodded their heads and left the room.
…
Physician Bai Chan had been on a roll recently.
Ever since he returned from the Red Lotus Range, all of the physicians treated him with utmost respect.
Even the attitude of the guild leader of the Physician Guild had changed.
In the past, he had always been neglected, but now, he had become the center of attention. Those 2-star physicians who used to be arrogant didn't even dare to speak loudly before him now …
This made him happier and more satisfied with his current life.
"To think that I would receive such benefits after being knocked unconscious in an alley …"
Today, after drinking with the president for a while, he felt a little dizzy walking on the road.
The starting point of his life was when he was knocked unconscious in the Red Lotus City.
After he woke up, the attitude of countless physicians toward him changed.
Just thinking about it made him feel as though he was dreaming.
Of course, after the past few days, he finally understood what was going on.
That day, the young man who appeared with Princess Mo Yu knocked him unconscious and used his name and appearance to save the Great Herb King.
There were two reasons why these physicians tried to get close to him. Firstly, they wanted to use his connections to buy some high-quality medicine from the Great Herb King at a low price. Secondly, they wanted to know what the so-called Contract Gu was and how it could be treated.
Back then, he was lying in the cold alley with his clothes stripped off. How could he possibly know the Great Herb King? Naturally, he didn't know about the Contract Gu either …
However, it wasn't easy for him to make a comeback and gain the respect of so many people. If he were to deny it just like that, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him to be beaten to death?
After much consideration, he had been lying ever since.
Whenever someone asked him about the Great Herb King, he would grit his teeth and avoid the topic.
Seeing that he wasn't willing to speak, everyone knew that it might be a secret, so they didn't probe any further. Instead, his status rose even higher.
This outcome made him excited. Every time he came across an alley, he would dive into it, hoping to be knocked unconscious once more.
Today, after bidding farewell to the guild leader, he returned to the residence alone. Just as he was about to enter an alley, he saw a young lady walking toward him.
The young lady looked to be around sixteen to seventeen, but she was exceptionally beautiful. Even the number one beauty of Tianwu Kingdom, Princess Mo Yu, paled in comparison to her.
He was known for his lecherous nature, and that was precisely the reason why Mo Yu disliked him back then. After pretending to be an expert for so long, upon seeing that there was no one around and the effects of alcohol, his eyes lit up.
...
Upon learning that Miss Zhang had appeared in the Painter Guild, Zhao Ya and the others left the inn to search for her.
In order to increase their efficiency, they split up.
They searched all of the streets and taverns in the vicinity, but to no avail.
After searching through the alley, Zhao Ya rubbed her tired eyes. Just as she was about to return to her residence, a vulgar-looking elder walked up to her.
"Lady, why don't you accompany me for a few cups?" Physician Bai Chan stood in front of her.
"Get lost!"
Zhao Ya frowned.
With the awakening of her Pure Yin Body, her appearance and disposition had undergone a qualitative change. She often met with such harassment, but they were mostly around the same age. An old man who was old enough to be her grandfather suddenly appeared, and her complexion darkened.
"What if I refuse?"
Physician Bai Chan harrumphed.
It was nearing midnight, and the previously bustling alley was deserted. Furthermore, even if there was someone, upon seeing his luxurious clothes, they probably wouldn't dare to step forward.
"You're courting death!"
Seeing this fellow's ruffian expression, Zhao Ya frowned. Flicking her wrist, a sword appeared in her hands.
Driving her Pure Yin Body to its limits, a chilling sword qi flew toward the fellow before her.
"You don't know how to appreciate my kindness!"
Seeing that Zhao Ya dared to use a sword against him, Physician Bai Chan harrumphed coldly and grabbed the sword.
Ding!
The sword fell into the other party's hand.
Physician Bai Chan was a fellow who could be knocked unconscious by a single punch from Zhang Xuan, but he was a Tongxuan realm pinnacle expert. He wasn't someone whom Zhao Ya, who had only opened two acupoints, could deal with.
"This is bad!"
With her sword snatched away, Zhao Ya's heart jolted. She knew that she was no match for the fellow before her. With a leap, she dashed toward the inn.
With her Pure Yin Body activated, even though her speed wasn't as fast as Wang Ying's, it was still extremely fast. She wasn't too far away from the inn, and as long as she arrived there, Liu Shi would definitely be able to beat up that fool.
"Still thinking of escaping? Do you think you can escape? "
It wasn't easy for him to meet such a beauty, so how could Bai Chan allow her to escape? Thus, he quickly chased after her.
"Zhao Ya?"
After sprinting for a while, Zhao Ya arrived at the hall of the inn and happened to bump into Liu Shi and the others, who were about to leave.
"What's wrong?"
"What happened?"
Seeing her rush in, everyone was perplexed.
"This old man is teasing me..."
Zhao Ya pointed behind her.
At this moment, Physician Bai Chan also walked into the hall.
"What?"
Hearing that she was being teased, Zheng Yang and the others flew into a rage. Frowning, they prepared to charge forward.
"Wait a moment!"
With a single glance, Liu Shi saw through the other party's strength and immediately stopped them.
Upon seeing that there was someone here, a glint flashed across Physician Bai Chan's eyes. "No wonder you ran so quickly, so there's someone here! Since that's the case, this will be easy! "
As a wily old fox, he had seen such a scene many times, so he wasn't afraid at all.
"May I know why this friend is chasing after my student?"
Knowing that this was Tianwu Royal City, and that there were all sorts of people here, even though Liu Shi was infuriated, he forcefully suppressed his anger. Stepping forward, he clasped his fists and said.
"This young lady stole something of mine, so I'm here to demand it back! Since you know each other, this will be easy. Either hand over the item, or I'll deal with her! "
Physician Bai Chan waved his hands and said calmly.
"Stole something of yours? You... Nonsense! "
Not expecting that this fellow would accuse her of stealing after teasing her, Zhao Ya's face reddened in anger and she nearly exploded.
