Silence!
The matter of Kong Shi accepting a disciple could be considered a huge matter that would shock the entire continent. Regardless of whether one was a master teacher or not, as long as one was a cultivator, they would definitely be so excited that they would lose their sense of direction upon receiving this honor.
This fellow actually … directly refused, so decisively and resolutely!
Can someone tell me what's going on?
The acknowledgement of a Celestial Master Teacher was indeed shocking, but … to reject Kong Shi's offer to take him in as his student was truly infuriating.
All of the master teachers in the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall stared at one another with frenzied looks on their faces.
If you don't want to become Kong Shi's student, I want to …
You can just leave the slot to me, why do you have to reject it?
"Pavilion Master Jiang, what is going on?"
After a long moment, a master teacher turned to look at Pavilion Master Jiang. The others also turned their gazes over as well.
"I … I don't know either!"
At this moment, Pavilion Master Jiang's heart was on the verge of collapse.
He had rushed over after sensing the abnormality in the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall, but who could have thought that he would see such a sight before him?
Rejecting Kong Shi …
Putting aside Tianwu Kingdom, even the League of Nations would be shocked to death by this news.
Even a Nine Star Master Teacher wouldn't be able to do such a thing!
"You don't know?"
The master teacher hesitated for a moment before replying, "To be able to become a Celestial Master Teacher means that he hasn't received the acknowledgement of the Master Teacher Guild yet. In other words, he isn't an official master teacher yet, or perhaps... he is currently taking the examination for a higher rank! In the past few days, there were only two examinees... Zhang Xuan and Mo Hongyi! Just tell us, where did these two go? Are they still in Royal City? "
The acknowledgement of a Celestial Master Teacher would only alarm the nearby Mingshi Tang.
Since something had happened in the Teacher Acknowledgement Hall, it could only mean that a master teacher of Tianwu Royal City had achieved a breakthrough!
With just a little thought, he knew that it was definitely one of the two. There was no doubt about it.
"They …"
Pavilion Master Jiang hesitated.
"Speak. He has already become a Celestial Master Teacher, which means that he has cleared the examination. Even if he were to reveal his identity, it wouldn't be considered a violation of the rules," Elder Zhu said.
"En!" Pavilion Master Jiang nodded. "They are still in the capital. However, in order to take the final 2-star master teacher examination, they have disguised their identities!"
"Disguise?"
The others were taken aback.
The 2-star master teacher examination and the matter of disguising one's identity to accept a student were extremely secretive. Most of the master teachers present weren't aware of it. In fact, this was the first time Jiang Chen had heard of it.
"It's like this!"
Pavilion Master Jiang explained the final test of the 2-star master teacher examination.
"You're saying that... the famous Guild Leader Liu Cheng... is the same person as Zhang Shi?"
After hearing the explanation, everyone was stunned once more. One by one, they fainted.
In the past two days, the most famous figures were none other than Mingshi Tang, Zhang Xuan, and the guild leader of the Physician Guild, Liu Cheng!
Everyone knew that these two were super geniuses, worthy of envy, but never in their wildest dreams would they have thought … that they were actually the same person!
"No wonder …"
Jiang Chen also froze in place.
Previously, he had some doubts, but he didn't dare to believe it. Only after hearing his father's confirmation did he understand!
It was no wonder why a 2-star apothecary was able to forge a grade-4 pill with such a profound pill forging technique!
Even though Zhang Xuan knew that he was no match for Zhang Xuan in the examination, he still felt that as long as he continued to work hard, he would one day catch up to Zhang Xuan …
Only now did he realize … that the f * cking gap between them was just too big. They could not be mentioned in the same breath.
Putting aside catching up, he couldn't even see the other party!
Not only was the other party skilled in pill forging, his medical skills, painting, beast taming, and so on … How could he possibly compete with him?
"Since the both of them are in the capital, the Celestial Master Teacher must be one of them. As long as we confirm the matter, we'll know who it is!"
Suppressing his shock, a master teacher said.
"Indeed. No matter what, a Celestial Master Teacher has appeared in our guild, and he almost became the student of the Sage. We have to know who he is …"
Another master teacher said.
Since there were only two of them, the rest was easy. After all, they couldn't possibly not know who such an incredible figure had appeared in their guild, right?
"Everyone, calm down. I'll send an apprentice to take a look now!"
Pavilion Master Jiang turned around and left. Not too long later, he returned.
Liu Cheng and Sun Cheng were both famous teachers in Tianwu Academy, so it wasn't difficult for them to gather information.
"How is it?" Elder Zhu asked.
"Mo Hongyi … seems to be ill, and he's currently unconscious! On the other hand, Zhang Shi is currently in seclusion, and he isn't meeting anyone … "Pavilion Master Jiang said.
"There's no need to think too much about it. It must be Zhang Shi …"
Everyone nodded their heads.
Since the other party was unconscious, it was impossible for him to be a Celestial Master Teacher, and it was impossible for him to reject Kong Shi. Thus, there was only one possibility … The one who caused such a huge commotion was none other than the one who had created so many miracles upon his arrival, Zhang Xuan.
"Since we know that it's Zhang Shi, should we report this news to the headquarter?"
A master teacher amidst the crowd asked.
"We can't!"
Pavilion Master Jiang shook his head. "If it's just a Celestial Master Teacher, we can report it to the headquarter. But … this Zhang Shi has just rejected Kong Shi. If this matter were to spread, the entire headquarter would be in an uproar … "
Everyone was taken aback.
Indeed.
Who was Kong Shi? The number one person in history, the teacher of the world … For such a person to be rejected as a disciple, it would surely cause a huge commotion!
Furthermore, it wasn't honorable for Kong Shi to be rejected. If this matter were to spread, Kong Shi might fly into a rage …
Even if he were to die ten thousand times, he wouldn't be able to absolve himself of the blame.
After a moment, Pavilion Master Jiang instructed, "This matter is already beyond our control. It's best for us to keep our mouths shut..."
"Yes!"
Knowing the severity of the matter, everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
Regardless of whether it was the Celestial Master Teacher or the rejection of Kong Shi's disciple, it was already beyond their comprehension. Faced with such a matter, it was best for them to keep their mouths shut. Otherwise, they might even die without knowing how they died.
"Since that's the case, everyone, make an oath before Kong Shi's sculpture!"
Pavilion Master Jiang spoke once more.
"Yes!"
Soon, the oath was made. Everyone felt a unique force seeping into their minds, sealing the matter in their minds. If they were to speak of it, they would be punished.
…
Zhang Xuan, who wanted to keep a low profile, didn't know that the entire Mingshi Tang already knew of his matter. At this moment, he pushed open the door of the classroom and walked out.
Even though becoming a Celestial Master Teacher had raised his Soul Depth by 1.0 and granted him the Eye of Insight, it didn't raise his cultivation in the slightest.
He was still at Zongshi realm pinnacle, and his strength was around 5000 ding.
"Teacher!"
As soon as he walked out, he saw a lady kneeling on the floor. She was completely convinced by her teacher.
She was Mu Xueqing.
At this moment, her aura was reminiscent of a dragon, and it was as though she had been reborn!
She had stimulated all of the accumulated medicinal energy in her body, allowing her to break through the bottleneck of Pixue realm and reach Tongxuan realm primary stage!
In fact, her aura seemed to indicate that she could reach Tongxuan realm intermediate stage at any moment.
Even she found it hard to believe that Zhang Xuan had made such a huge improvement in the span of a single night.
"Not bad!"
Seeing her improvement, Zhang Xuan nodded his head in satisfaction.
She had been consuming pills since she was young, and the amount of medicinal energy accumulated in her body had already reached an astounding level. It was only natural for her to achieve such a huge breakthrough in a single day.
"You should reinforce your cultivation properly. I'll bring you to a place tomorrow!"
Knowing that the other party's Trust Point in him had exceeded 40, and it was time for him to end the master teacher examination, Zhang Xuan instructed.
"Yes!"
Mu Xueqing nodded and retreated to the side.
…
The Emerald Pavilion was the most famous money-squandering establishment in Tianwu Royal City.
The expenses it incurred in a single day was sufficient to bankrupt a small clan in a Tier 2 Kingdom.
Even so, the place was still bustling with customers, and there was an endless stream of carriages.
It was the dream of countless people to spend their money here and become one of its members.
That was because the Emerald Pavilion had the strongest wine, the prettiest ladies, the best service, and the most enjoyable environment of the thirteen neighboring countries...
Any cultivator, regardless of gender, would want to come here a second time after coming here once. They would immerse themselves in it and forget about returning home!
Even before entering the Emerald Pavilion, a concentrated spiritual energy gushed toward them. It was at least two times more concentrated than the outside world. Cultivating in such an environment would be at least two times faster than the outside world.
Early in the morning, a carriage came to a halt, and the attendant hurriedly set up a dismounting stone.
"Young master, we've arrived!"
"Un!"
The curtains parted, and a young man walked out.
The young man was dressed extravagantly, and his complexion was as clear as jade. Occasionally, a hint of darkness could be seen in his eyes. There seemed to be some bruises on his exposed skin, indicating that he had been injured not too long ago.
"Young master, are we... really going to look for Lin Lang gongzi? I've heard that he can charge a hefty price just by opening his mouth! "
The attendant glanced at the young man hesitantly.
"Who else can we look for other than him?"
The young man's face steeled. "My clan has already given up on me, and they insist on sending me to that Zhang Xuan to appease his rage! Only the Lin Clan can guarantee my safety! As long as Lin Lang gongzi asks for it, so what if he passes the 2-star master teacher examination? Would he dare to offend the Formation Master Guild and Xuanyuan Kingdom? "
If Zhang Xuan were here, he would surely be able to recognize the other party as the painter who was stripped naked and hung on a tree by his subordinates back then, Ji Mo gongzi!
After learning that the person he offended was the genius Zhang Xuan, no one in the Ji Clan protected him. Even his own father, the clan head of the Ji Clan, wanted to tie him up and send him over to apologize.
Knowing that he would be in deep trouble if he were to be sent over, he found an opportunity to escape and seek protection.
No one in Tianwu Kingdom could protect him other than the Lin Clan. Not even the royal family could do so!
The head of the Lin Clan wasn't just the guild leader of the Formation Master Guild, his daughter was the princess consort of Xuanyuan Kingdom. Just based on this identity, even Pavilion Master Jiang Shu had to give him face, needless to say, Zhang Xuan, who had just passed the 2-star master teacher examination.
As for the Lin Lang he spoke of, he was known as the number one gongzi of Tianwu Kingdom!
He was the son of the head of the Lin Clan, the younger brother of the princess consort of Xuanyuan Kingdom.
As a genius and the son of the clan heads of the Three Great Clans of the capital, he was fortunate enough to come into contact with them a few times.
And this Emerald Pavilion was opened by Lin Lang.
(Sorry for the late update! Next, the show of vengeance is about to begin. Thank you, everyone!)
