Even though she was willful and willful, her teacher didn't think much of it. Instead, he helped her resolve the pill poison in her body, imparted her a top-notch saber art, and guided her cultivation.
She thought that she could help her teacher with this matter, but who knew that... she would actually lose, causing his reputation to be tarnished...
Even so, he didn't give up. Fearing that she would be harmed, he rushed forward to save her!
Teacher, thank you!
Teacher, it was Qing 'er who was messing around, please forgive her!
Teacher, I won't dare to do it again...
Mu Xueqing clenched her fists tightly.
Even though her teacher wasn't old, he was like a towering mountain, allowing her to move forward without any hesitation.
This gave her even more motivation to cultivate!
...
Just as Zhao Ya was contemplating whether she should slash her sword down or not, she suddenly saw a figure standing in front of Mu Xueqing.
It was a twenty-four-year-old young man with a slightly yellowish complexion.
Huala!
Due to inertia, the sword didn't stop at all.
The young man frowned. Stretching out his hand, he bent his middle finger and flicked it lightly.
Weng!
As soon as his finger came into contact with the sword, Zhao Ya felt a sharp pain in her hand. Her sword broke into two and flew out of her hand.
Deng deng deng deng deng!
Taking two steps back, Zhao Ya adjusted her breathing. Only then did she realize that the other party had no intention of attacking her. He had only flicked her sword away. Due to the overwhelming might of the sword, it was broken in an instant.
"Incredible!"
Mu Xueqing narrowed her eyes.
Even she was unable to control her sword when she activated her unique constitution. Yet, the other party was able to break her sword with a single finger without injuring her in the slightest. His eye of discernment and strength was truly frightening. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have found it hard to believe!
"May I know why this elder wants to stop our duel?"
Even though she was shocked, there wasn't the slightest hint of panic on her face. Clasping her fist, her attitude was neither servile nor overbearing.
"The two of you are really... fooling around!"
Hearing those words, Zhang Xuan shook his head in frustration.
Even if the two of you want to duel, you should find someone else. Both of you are my students! It's just a disguise. Is there a need for you to compete with one another?
One was imparting swordsmanship whereas the other was imparting saber art. He was still wondering what they were up to, but who would have thought that they would come here to duel?
The heck!
Are you trying to win my reputation?
You are here to embarrass me!
No wonder Mo Yu had a strange expression on her face when she said that she wanted to watch the show. Damn it … this could really be considered a show!
"You must be Liu laoshi!"
Guessing the identity of the young man before her, Zhao Ya stepped forward. Her beautiful face revealed a resolute expression as she said, "Your student has insulted my teacher. As a student, I am competing with her to clear my name as a teacher. Why is it that in your words, it becomes nonsense? "
"Hmm?"
Zhang Xuan was stunned.
Given Zhang Xuan's identity as Zhang Xuan, it wasn't a big deal for him to reprimand a student. However, if he were to reprimand Liu laoshi, he would be belittling the other party.
Putting aside the fact that you, as a teacher, rushed up to stop a fight between students, you even said that the other party was' messing around '. If this isn't messing around, what is?
Why was it normal for your student to beat me up, but it was wrong for me to beat your student up?
"Alright, that's all for today. You can go back now!"
Zhang Xuan didn't expect to be questioned by his own student after disguising his identity. He felt a headache coming on.
He must be really drunk to have caused such a huge blunder.
Previously, when the two ladies were learning swordsmanship and saber arts, if he had paid a little more attention, he wouldn't have been stared at like monkeys by so many people!
"Go back? Why should we go back? Mu Xueqing has lost the duel, so she should apologize for her previous words and admit that you, Liu laoshi, are inferior to our Zhang Shi. Otherwise, even if we were to bring this matter to the Teacher Guild and Mingshi Tang, we won't back down! "
Bellowing furiously, Zheng Yang leaped forward and glared at Zhang Xuan furiously.
He was truly angry.
His student couldn't win the duel, so his teacher stepped forward... What do you mean by this?
It was one thing for him to stop the duel, but to say that we were messing around and that this matter should end here... He had seen shameless people before, but he had never seen such a shameless person before.
As a teacher, are you trying to deny your loss?
"That's right. We have already agreed on this before the duel. Are you a sore loser?"
"A loss is a loss, a win is a win. Are you trying to go back on your words?"
"Shameless!"
Yuan Tao, Liu Yang, Wang Ying, and the others also stepped forward furiously.
"I lost because of my lack of skills. It has nothing to do with teacher!"
Seeing her teacher being doubted by the other party, Mu Xueqing stepped forward.
She wanted to bring honor to her teacher, but she didn't expect to land him in such an awkward situation instead. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Even if I want to apologize, I can only represent myself. It doesn't mean that my teacher is inferior to your Zhang Shi!"
"What do you mean... After speaking for so long, you still don't want to admit defeat? That's not what you said three days ago. Why? You don't want to admit your defeat? "
Zheng Yang glared at her coldly.
"Three days ago, you said arrogantly that even Zhang Shi is inferior to your Liu laoshi. Furthermore, you even agreed to admit defeat. Yet, you changed your words today. Do you think that we are pushovers?
"Apologize right now and admit that your Liu laoshi is inferior to our Zhang Shi. Then, this matter will end here. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!" Liu Yang stepped forward as well.
"I..."
Mu Xueqing's face steeled.
If she were to admit defeat here, how could she, Liu laoshi, face the academy?
"Enough!"
Seeing these brats pressuring their teacher, Zhang Xuan felt even more stifled. "We'll consider today's duel a draw. You can all return now!"
I don't see you all being so concerned about other matters.
For my students to admit that they are inferior to me...
What the heck is this!
"Draw?"
"Why should we consider it a draw?"
...
It would have been fine if they didn't hear those words. Upon hearing those words, Zheng Yang and the others nearly exploded. Even Zhao Ya's face darkened.
They had seen shameless people before, but they had never seen such a shameless person before!
It was one thing for him to refuse to fulfill his end of the bet, but to be so thick-skinned as to say that it was a draw!
Initially, they thought that Liu laoshi was a genius due to his ability to impart knowledge. But from the looks of it now, they were wrong!
How can there be a genius who refuses to admit defeat?
How can there be a genius who puts on an act here and speaks as a teacher?
Do I know who you are? Putting on an act here, your head!
You are truly shameless!
"Zhao Ya didn't win, and Mu Xueqing didn't lose either. What else can this be considered other than a draw? Go back, stop fooling around here! Otherwise, I will report this matter to your teacher and have him teach you a lesson! "Zhang Xuan gestured.
He had no choice but to declare a draw.
If he were to say that Zhao Ya won, that would mean that he, who was impersonating as Liu Cheng, was inferior to Zhang Xuan. If his identity were to be exposed in the future, wouldn't he be embarrassed to death?
If he were to say that Mu Xueqing won, that would mean that Zhang Xuan was inferior to Liu laoshi...
The effects would be the same!
What the heck was this?
No matter what, he was the one who would be hurt.
Rather than go through so much trouble, he might as well get rid of this bunch of brats first.
"You..."
They didn't expect Liu laoshi to be so shameless. Not only did he refuse to admit defeat, he even dared to do it so openly. Zhao Ya and the others felt as though their lungs were about to explode.
...
"Liu laoshi is in trouble!"
Principal Xie and the others couldn't help but shake their heads.
"He shouldn't have appeared in the first place. Why should a teacher interfere in a fight between students?" An elder harrumphed.
"Even so, if he hadn't intervened, Mu Xueqing would have surely been injured. As a teacher, he can't possibly watch his student get injured without doing anything!" Principal Xie said.
"That's true..."
The crowd nodded.
As a teacher, he had the responsibility of a professor. At the same time, he had the obligation to protect his students from harm. Putting aside Liu laoshi, if it were them, they wouldn't be able to bear witnessing their students being injured.
"The academy is in a tough spot right now. If we were to help Liu laoshi, Zhang Shi would surely be displeased. If we were to help Zhang Shi, Liu laoshi would surely be displeased as well. No matter what, he isn't an ordinary teacher but the head of the Physician Guild. If we were to just watch from the sidelines, both parties would surely be angered. After all, not only did we not stop them from fighting, we even allowed them to do as they pleased... "
Principal Xie rubbed his glabella, feeling a headache coming on.
Just a moment ago, he thought that no matter which of the two ladies won, Tianwu Academy's reputation would soar and he would be able to reap the benefits.
He didn't expect things to develop to such a state.
Now, the entire academy was at a loss as to what to do.
"If it really comes down to it... Principal, why don't you step forward and invite Zhang Shi and Liu laoshi to sit together and get to know each other. They are both geniuses, so they might be able to appreciate one another's talents!"
An elder suggested.
Principal Xie hesitated.
"That's a good idea, but Zhang Shi is currently in the midst of his 2-star master teacher examination and isn't in the capital. If he learns of the conflict and refuses to come over, what should we do?" Another elder asked.
Inviting the two of them to sit together could resolve the conflict, but they had to invite the person involved first. As a teacher of the academy, it would be easier for them to do so.
Zhang Shi was a 2-star master teacher. If he didn't come over, it would be pointless for them to say anything.
"Forget it, I can only thicken my skin and invite him. I am a 1-star master teacher, so no matter what, Zhang Shi should give me some face!"
After hesitating for a moment, Principal Xie shook his head and continued, "Also, prepare a few [VIP Tokens] of the academy for me. I want to give them to Zhang Shi's students. In the future, if they wish to visit the academy, they can enter anytime. If they wish to browse through any books or require any resources, don't stop them!"
"Yes!"
An elder nodded.
… …
Below the dueling ring, Princess Mo Yu, who was waiting to watch the commotion, was dumbfounded.
She thought that it would be interesting to watch the duel between Zhang Xuan's students. She didn't expect that it would end up in such a state.
With this, Zhang Xuan was placed in an awkward position.
No matter which side won, it would damage his reputation and make him look like he was riding on a tiger.
"I have to stop this …"
Thinking of this, Princess Mo Yu pushed through the crowd and walked over.
"Zhao Ya, Zheng Yang …"
"Mo shi!"
Zhao Ya and the others were still fuming with rage when they saw the princess. They immediately recognized her. Her teacher was half a teacher to her, so they could be considered fellow students.
Back then, when her teacher was taking the master teacher examination, they met at the Mingshi Tang Academy.
"Why don't … you all return first? If Zhang Shi were to know that you all are fighting with those from Tianwu Academy here, he will surely be displeased! "
Nodding, Mo Yu persuaded.
If not for her selfishness, Zhang Xuan wouldn't have gone through so much trouble if he knew about this matter.
