After spending more than half a month together, how could he not recognize Zhao Ya's voice? The angry voice outside, who else could it be but her?
After tidying up his clothes, he pushed open the door and walked out. He immediately saw the two opposing parties in the hall.
"Indeed!"
Seeing so many familiar figures, Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
He did not expect them to arrive the moment he arrived at True Martial Royal City. Furthermore, they were all staying in the same inn. His luck was truly good.
"That is... Bai Chan?"
Seeing Zhao Ya, Liu Ling, and the others, Zhang Xuan turned to look at the fellow opposite him. Who else could it be other than the fellow whom he knocked unconscious in the alley back then?
"Looks like this fellow is trying to bully my student …"
The scene in front of them was not complicated, and they could understand it with just a little attention.
How could he not know what kind of person Zhao Ya was? Stealing … What a joke!
On the other hand, this Physician Bai Chan was lustful and greedy. He wasn't a good person.
Since he had bumped into him, he might as well teach him a lesson.
Chuckling softly, Zhang Xuan walked over.
…
"Zhao Ya, you can't go …"
"I wonder what would happen if I were to follow them …"
Hearing Zhao Ya's decision, Zheng Yang and the others were anxious.
It was obvious that this doctor was in cahoots with the patrol team. Once he went there, who knew what kind of crime he would be charged with?
"Can't you see? He's doing it on purpose. No matter how much money he offers, it's useless. He'll definitely continue to increase the price! "Zhao Ya said.
Everyone fell silent.
Indeed.
The other party was clearly bullying them because they were outsiders. Even if they gave them money, they would say that it wasn't enough. In fact, they might even say that they had lost something else. Rather than being humiliated, they might as well follow them and prove their innocence.
Everyone had been filled with hope for this Tier 1 Kingdom's capital, thinking that they would be able to show off their ambitions. However, they had not expected to encounter such a situation as soon as they arrived. They all felt a sense of helplessness from the depths of their hearts.
"If I go, it's the same as falling into the other party's trap!"
"I have no choice but to go. The patrol team is guarding here. They will definitely arrest the person who stole his medicinal herbs!"
The crowd clenched their fists tightly in anger, but there was nothing they could do.
"Fifty million … Fifty million it is! I'm willing to … settle this privately! "
Liu Shi shook his head in humiliation.
It was really a case of a dragon being toyed with by shrimps in the shallows, and a tiger being bullied by dogs in the plains.
If this were to happen in Beiwu Kingdom, this fellow would surely be beaten to death on the spot.
But here, even master teachers were helpless.
"Liu Shi …"
Everyone was filled with rage. They clenched their fists tightly and their faces were ashen.
"Alright, it's no big deal. No one needs to go!"
Just when everyone felt that there was no other way, a slightly lazy voice sounded, Zhang Xuan came over with his hands in his pockets.
"Ah … Teacher?"
"Miss Zhang, you … why are you here?"
"Miss Zhang, you live here too?"
Seeing him come out of the hotel, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then ecstatic.
Everyone went out to look for him, but no one expected him to come out from inside.
Ignoring the agitated crowd, Zhang Xuan walked up to Physician Bai Chan and said with a smile, "Are you the one who bullied my student?"
Bai Chan was in the midst of sipping on his tea, and his side was facing Zhang Xuan. As such, he didn't take a closer look, and as such, he didn't recognize Zhang Xuan. Waving his hands grandly, he harrumphed, "Your student is the one who stole my possession. I'm just investigating the matter..."
"Steal your head!"
Before Bai Chan could finish his words, he heard a voice, and his vision darkened. A teapot was smashed on his head.
Peng!
The teapot shattered, and the boiling hot water splashed all over Bai Chan's body. His entire body convulsed, and he leaped up as though he was convulsing.
"You're courting death!"
In the past few days, which one of the guild leaders and nobles didn't treat him with respect? Yet, this fellow smashed a teapot on his head. Who gave him the guts to do so?
Under the boiling hot water, all the hair on his face fell off.
Steam was rising from his head, and it looked like a braised pig's head. It was bright red, and a meaty aroma wafted from it.
"Teacher …"
"This … is way too ferocious!"
Zhao Ya and the others opened their mouths wide, and their jaws almost dropped.
They knew that Miss Zhang would redress their grievances, but never in their dreams did they expect that … she would do it in such a manner!
A teapot was smashed on his head, and hot water splashed all over his face.
The heck!
Miss Zhang didn't treat the other party as a human at all!
Liu Ling and Lu Xun's mouths twitched, and they nearly fainted.
If he could settle the matter through brute force, as a zongshi and a master teacher, why would he have to lower himself?
Given that the other party was fearless, it was clear that his standing wasn't low. On top of that, there was a patrol squad standing guard by the side. Yet, Zhang Xuan slapped him in the face so viciously. It seemed like … there was no way this matter would end peacefully.
"This is way too reckless …"
Liu Ling shook his head with a bitter smile.
His senior had always been a calm person, always making plans before making a move. Why was he so reckless today?
This was Tianwu Kingdom, not Tianxuan Kingdom. To beat someone up as soon as he arrived, not to mention that the other party was a person of high standing. This trip to the kingdom would be filled with thorns.
"Is this lad insane?"
"That's Physician Bai Chan …"
Squadron Leader Yao and the other patrol squad members didn't expect such a sudden turn of events, and they were dumbfounded.
"Do you all want to watch a show? This fellow dared to lay his hands on me, hurry up and kill him … "
It wasn't easy for him to recover from the shock. Upon seeing the patrol squad members standing by the side in a daze, Physician Bai Chan bellowed furiously.
"Yes!"
Only then did everyone recover from their shock. Squadron Leader Yao drew his sword and charged forward, "Lad, how dare you lay your hands on Physician Bai! Do you know who he is? To dare to lay his hands on Physician Bai in the capital, how dare you … Aiya, the heck!"
Before he could finish his words, he screamed in agony. His face contorted like a fried dough twist, and he flipped several times in the air before landing more than ten meters away.
"Squadron leader …"
The patrol squad members went insane.
The heck!
They were the kingdom's patrol squad, and they represented the kingdom's dignity. No matter where they went, others would tremble in fear, not daring to offend them. Yet, the moment they charged forward, they were slapped back...
"Lad, you are going against the kingdom …"
Roaring furiously, he was about to charge forward to exact vengeance for his squadron leader. However, before he could finish his words, a series of crisp sounds echoed.
Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah!
Similarly, the faces of the guards contorted, and they were lying on the ground, moaning in agony.
"It's over, it's over …"
The owner and waiter of the inn thought that they would be able to resolve the matter quickly, but upon seeing this sight, their hair nearly fell off.
It had been many years since someone dared to attack a member of the patrol team.
The only exception was a Zongshi realm primary stage wandering cultivator ten years ago. Due to a conflict, he ended up being hunted down by the entire city, and in less than a day, he was killed on the spot!
Yet, not only did this fellow beat up the patrol squad, he even scalded Physician Bai Chan's head into a pig's head …
Initially, he thought that it would be a simple matter, and that the patrol squad would be able to resolve it. Yet, the matter blew up. If only he had known, he would have called for reinforcements … Now, if the higher-ups were to question him about how he was willing to entertain such a ruffian, there was no need for the inn to open anymore.
"You're courting death …"
Only then did Physician Bai Chan recover from the searing pain. His eyes were slightly swollen, and upon seeing the patrol squad members lying on the ground, he flew into a rage. Turning to look at Zhang Xuan, he said, "You're doomed, you're really doomed this time. How dare you lay a hand on the patrol squad, no one will be able to save you …"
Before he could finish his words, he felt a sharp pain on his neck. His throat tightened, and someone lifted him up.
Pah! Pah! Pah!
A searing pain stung his face, and he was slapped more than a dozen times consecutively.
"No one will be able to save me? Are you certain? "Zhang Xuan looked at him with a bright smile.
"Wuuuu …"
Physician Bai Chan cried.
The pain was simply too excruciating.
He had never been beaten up like this in his entire life.
Not daring to speak anymore, he slowly opened his swollen eyes and looked at the fellow who beat him up. He wanted to remember the other party's appearance so that he could find an opportunity to tear him into pieces. With a single glance, his face turned ghastly pale.
It was too familiar.
At the Red Lotus Range, he was the fellow who knocked him out with a single punch along with Princess Mo Yu …
The reason why he had the status he had today was because of this person …
"That's right, it's me!"
Casually tossing Bai Chan to the ground, Zhang Xuan said impassively.
"I …"
Bai Chan's face distorted.
In this world, the person he wanted to meet the most was definitely the person before him. It was because of this fellow's impersonation that he had achieved his current status. The person he didn't want to meet the most was the person before him. The moment he met the other party, the other party would expose him as an impersonator, and that he wasn't the one who treated the Great Herb King.
Without this matter, how could the crowd in the Physician Guild still respect him? How could they treat him as a nobody?
Initially, he thought that as long as he kept his guard up against Princess Mo Yu, he would be able to avoid her. Never in his dreams did he expect to meet her in such a situation.
To think that he would even flirt with the other party's student …
Wasn't that courting death?
Even if he didn't make a move, if he were to say that he wasn't the one who treated the Great Herb King, he would probably be beaten to death by countless physicians before he could even step out.
…
"Senior, we're in trouble this time …"
Seeing the mess on the ground and the swollen Physician Bai Chan, Liu Ling walked over and shook his head.
"Trouble? There's nothing troublesome about it! "
Zhang Xuan didn't mind at all.
Since he had made a move, he naturally had a plan in mind. It would be best if he could resolve the matter peacefully, but if he couldn't, he would just feed them lethal poison.
He didn't believe that they would dare to mess around under the influence of lethal poison.
"This is the patrol team. Injuring them …"
Oblivious to Zhang Xuan's thoughts, Liu Ling hesitated for a moment before saying, "Why don't I seek protection from Mingshi Tang? Given my identity as a master teacher, Tianwu Kingdom shouldn't dare to cause trouble for me for the time being. However, if I do so, I might be judged by Mingshi Tang …"
Mingshi Tang had the duty to protect master teachers, but if a master teacher were to commit a mistake, he had the right to judge them.
Initially, they were in the right when the other party tried to cause trouble for them. However, now that they were beaten up to such a state, they were in the wrong.
"There's no need for that!" Zhang Xuan waved his hands and pointed to the swollen Bai Chan. "I believe that he will settle this matter for us."
"Him?"
Liu Ling was dumbfounded.
Even Zhao Ya and the others turned to look at Zhang Xuan in bewilderment.
This fellow was here to cause trouble, yet you poured a teapot on his head and pummeled him into a pig's head …
The grudge between the two of you is already irreconcilable, yet you want me to settle it for you?
You must be joking!
Even Lu Xun couldn't help but shake his head.
This Uncle Zhang Shi was talented in various occupations, but his only flaw was that he was too reckless.
With such a personality, it was only a matter of time before he got into trouble.
"Physician Bai Chan, regarding this matter … What do you think we should do?"
Ignoring everyone's doubtful gazes, Zhang Xuan turned to the physician whom he had beaten up previously with a smile.
"Cough cough, this …"
Seeing the other party's amused gaze, Physician Bai Chan shrunk his neck and said, "This is my fault. I was blinded by lust and caused trouble for your students. Don't worry, I will settle it soon … "
After which, Physician Bai Chan stood up and walked up to Squadron Leader Yao and the others with a righteous look on his face. Flicking his wrist, he took out a bottle of medicine and said, "This is medicine for treating external injuries. Squadron Leader Yao, take it. Also, here's a hundred thousand gold notes. Take it and bring your brothers out for a good meal …"
"Physician Bai?"
Seeing that this fellow was actually paying for the person who beat him up, Squadron Leader Yao and the other patrol members were on the verge of going insane. Just as they were feeling bewildered, Physician Bai's hushed voice sounded by their ears.
"Shh, the person before us has an unusual relationship with Princess Mo Yu, and they are traveling together … You should know what to do now …"
"An unusual relationship with Princess Mo Yu?"
Squadron Leader Yao and the others narrowed their eyes and froze.
(There's still the last day of this month. It would be a waste if I don't vote now. I'll just give them to Laoya, hehe!)
