It was no different from the plot lines in dramas.
The Lu Clan, which Lu Chong came from, couldn't be considered a prestigious clan in Tianwu Royal City, but it was still a wealthy one.
Ever since he was young, his talent had always been mediocre. On the contrary, his elder sister was the one who succeeded the formation apprentice examination at seventeen.
However, this was also the cause of the calamity.
She was talented and beautiful, but her beauty attracted the attention of a profligate scion.
It wasn't hard to guess what happened next. Her love turned into anger, and eventually, tragedy befell her.
"My entire clan of 137 was massacred in a single night. It just so happened that I was out hunting, so I was spared..."
Recalling the hatred in his heart, Lu Chong's body trembled, and he clenched his fists tightly.
"Your clan is in Tianwu Royal City?" Zhang Xuan asked.
If he wasn't in Tianwu Royal City, he wouldn't have to be so careful.
"Yes!" Lu Chong nodded. "Due to my weak cultivation, I knew that it was impossible for me to escape. That's why I snuck into the academy and lived in seclusion. Of course, it's also possible that the other party didn't think much of me, which is why I was able to survive till now. "
"The most dangerous place is also the safest place. The other party probably didn't expect you to hide in the most conspicuous place. Just that... the massacre of 137 members of a clan should have caused a huge uproar. Could it be that Mingshi Tang and Tianwu Kingdom didn't do anything about it? "Zhang Xuan found it hard to believe.
Mingshi Tang ruled over a region. Not only did he groom master teachers and instruct his students, more importantly, he maintained order in the region. He might not pay much attention to minor incidents, but massacring an entire clan would definitely cause a huge uproar.
Besides, even if Mingshi Tang didn't do anything about it, wouldn't the Tianwu Kingdom royal family be eating sh * t? Could they kill anyone in the capital? Or even exterminate the entire clan?
"I don't know the exact details either. All I know is that everyone is dead, and I'm the only one alive. I don't dare to ask around for fear of being exposed." Lu Chong's face was twisted in savagery, and hatred flowed in his eyes.
After asking a few more questions, Zhang Xuan realized that Zhang Xuan's words were vague. Thus, he decided not to pursue the matter any further. Instead, he consoled him, "Don't think about anything else. Focus on your cultivation. As long as you persevere through five times with the method I imparted to you yesterday, you will be able to kill a Tongxuan realm pinnacle expert easily. Take a rest today, adjust your condition, and replenish your energy. We'll do the second round tonight! "
"Yes!" Lu Chong clasped his fist before heading back to his dormitory.
He made it sound simple, but Zhang Xuan knew that it wasn't that simple.
For Tianwu Kingdom to remain unfazed by such an incident, it could only mean that his enemy was either extremely powerful or held a high standing in Tianwu Kingdom.
Most importantly, if it was love that turned into hatred, the most he could do was kill his sister. How could he destroy the entire family?
Perhaps the things involved were not as simple as they seemed.
From the looks of it, even though this student was speaking seriously, his words were insincere and he was hiding many things from him.
"It's fine if he doesn't want to talk. I'll ask him in detail when he wants to talk!"
Zhang Xuan shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Even though he had helped the other party raise his cultivation, they had only known each other for a short period of time, so it was normal for the other party to be unwilling to talk about it in detail.
As for the Library of Heaven's Path, he could only tell that the other party had a huge grudge against him, but he wasn't able to tell who the other party was and why he had the grudge against him.
Just like how it was with Zhao Ya and Mu Xueqing, he could tell that they were injured, but he wasn't able to tell who the other party was.
...
Walking out of the classroom, Lu Chong glanced at the young Liu laoshi, and his eyes reddened as he clenched his fists tightly.
It wasn't that he didn't want to talk about it, but... he didn't dare to!
He was well aware of the identity and standing of his enemy, and he didn't want the only teacher in the world who had given his all to him to fall into the hands of the other party.
"Liu laoshi, you have helped me raise my cultivation, and I already owe you a huge debt of gratitude. I don't want you to get involved in this matter... After all, you are just an ordinary teacher in the academy! If someone were to discover me and take me in as their student to impart my strength to you, you will surely be in deep trouble! "
"My vengeance... I will settle it myself!"
Making up his mind, Lu Chong turned around and left.
Having gained so much strength in a single night, the hope of exacting vengeance reignited in his heart.
...
Not long after Lu Chong left, the other students returned.
After imparting some basic knowledge to them and offering some pointers on their cultivation, he called Mu Xueqing into his room and imparted her a saber art.
Initially, when Mu Xueqing heard that there was only a single saber art, she was slightly disappointed. However, after learning for a while, she realized how profound the saber art was, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
Even though she couldn't recognize the level of this saber art, she could tell that it was many times more profound than the Falling Flower Fist that her father had imparted to her.
They were two completely different concepts.
This saber art harnessed the profound principles of the world, turning the complex into the simple. As long as it was executed, it felt as though no one would be able to withstand it.
"Liu laoshi, thank you for your generosity!"
After practicing for two whole hours, zhenqi flowed through her body without any obstruction. Only then did Mu Xueqing kneel to the floor in excitement. She was filled with gratitude and respect for the teacher before her.
The other party had helped her resolve her pill poison and imparted such a formidable battle technique to her...
This gratitude was indescribable with words.
"I must defeat that woman and clear Liu laoshi's name!"
Gritting her teeth, Mu Xueqing made up her mind.
There was no way she could repay the kindness her teacher had shown her. She could only help him make a name for himself, and defeating Master Teacher Zhang Xuan's student was the best shortcut.
Oblivious to the fact that his new student was already determined to teach Zhao Ya a lesson, Zhang Xuan instructed everyone to cultivate properly before leaving the classroom.
It wasn't easy for him to gather Zongshi realm cultivation technique manuals, but due to the lack of spiritual energy, his cultivation was progressing slowly. Now that he was free, he decided to head to the Apothecary Guild to look for pills that contained spiritual energy.
...
"Do you think that Liu laoshi is as incredible as they say? Just a few pointers from him can help someone achieve a breakthrough? "
Not too far away from Zhang Xuan's classroom, two young men were standing by the side.
One of them said.
If there were any other students here, they would surely recognize the duo as the most famous stars in the academy, the champion of the tournament, Zhao Wuxing and the runner-up, Liu Changyan.
The one who spoke was Zhao Wuxing.
"Since that's the case, there must be a reason behind it! It's not like you don't know Mu Xueqing's temperament. To be able to make her obedient, even going to the extent of falling out with Zhang Shi's student, this Liu laoshi must have some means up his sleeves, "Liu Changyan said.
After witnessing the fight between the two ladies yesterday, the duo was filled with curiosity toward this legendary Liu laoshi.
"No matter what, I must go and see if it's true. I don't believe that there is anyone in the academy who can surpass Bai laoshi in terms of teaching!" Even though Zhao Wuxing knew that there was no doubt about the other party's words, he still found it hard to believe.
They lived in the academy, so they weren't aware of the huge uproar that Liu laoshi had caused in the Physician Guild. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so curious.
As for Bai laoshi, he was the most famous star teacher in the academy, just like how Lu Xun was back in Tianxuan Kingdom.
"Hmm? What is the royal carriage doing here? "
Just as Zhang Xuan was muttering, Liu Changyan suddenly pointed forward.
Turning his gaze over, Zhao Wuxing couldn't help but freeze on the spot.
Right in front of them was a golden carriage, slowly driving along the street.
It was the carriage of the Tianwu Kingdom royal family.
"Eight fine steeds, it seems like... only the core members of the royal family are allowed to ride on it. Could it be the crown prince or... the third princess?"
Upon speaking of the third princess, Zhao Wuxing and Liu Changyan's eyes burned with desire.
The third princess, Mo Yu, was the perfect goddess in their hearts. She was beautiful, talented... On top of that, she had passed the master teacher examination, and her name had spread far and wide across the capital.
If not for the reputation of Master Teacher Zhang Xuan and Mo Hongyi, she would have been even more dazzling.
Hu!
The carriage came to a halt, and a beautiful figure walked down.
"It's indeed Her Highness..."
Upon seeing this figure, the faces of the two talented youngsters flushed in agitation.
However, they soon realized that something was amiss. "What is she doing here?"
Princess Mo Yu was already a 1-star master teacher, and she possessed incredible talent and cultivation. Naturally, it was impossible for her to attend the academy, and there was no need for her to conduct lessons here.
Just as they were perplexed, she walked up to Liu laoshi's classroom and bowed.
"I am Mo Yu of Tianwu Kingdom. I am here to pay respects to Liu Cheng laoshi!"
A crisp and clear voice echoed in the surroundings.
"Pay respects to Liu laoshi?"
"A 1-star master teacher, 2-star apothecary, 1-star beast tamer... Princess Mo Yu is actually here to pay respects to Liu Cheng?"
Zhao Wuxing and Liu Changyan were taken aback. Their teeth nearly fell to the ground.
Princess Mo Yu was a genius of Tianwu Kingdom, second only to Mo Hongyi. Not only was she a master teacher, her cultivation had also reached Tongxuan realm... Yet, she was here to pay respects to an ordinary teacher in the academy?
Were their eyes playing tricks on them?
Didn't he just enter the academy yesterday?
What rights did he have for a master teacher, the princess of a kingdom, to pay him a visit?
However, before they could recover from their shock, Liu laoshi, who had piqued their curiosity, walked out and glanced at Princess Mo Yu.
"Why are you here... Cough cough, why are you looking for me?"
Putong!
Zhao Wuxing and Liu Changyan staggered, and they felt the urge to spurt blood.
What kind of attitude was this?
Even if he was capable, he should at least bow to the princess, right?
Even if he didn't do so, he should at least address her politely as princess... Instead, he should have asked her 'Why are you here'... "Why are you looking for me?"
Who do you think you are?
You are just an ordinary teacher in the academy, not even a star teacher. Yet, before a 1-star master teacher, you don't even show the slightest bit of respect. On top of that, you even spoke with a tone filled with doubt. Aren't you looking down on me a little too much?!
The duo felt rage surging to their faces. Just as they were thinking about how they should report this matter to the academy and warn this arrogant fellow to abide by the rules of the Teacher Guild, Princess Mo Yu stepped forward and said, "My father is waiting outside. He hopes that Liu laoshi can pay him a visit..."
"Father? Emperor Mo Tianxue of the kingdom? "
"He hopes that Liu laoshi can... meet him? What is going on? His Majesty is here to pay respects to an ordinary teacher? "
Zhao Wuxing and Liu Changyan widened their eyes. At this moment, they felt as though they had gone insane.
