In Tianwu Academy, in Zhang Xuan's classroom.
After instructing Mu Xueqing, Zhang Xuan started his lesson.
With the Eye of Insight, Zhang Xuan's understanding of cultivation had changed.
Previously, when he was guiding Meng Tao and the others, he had to make use of the ability of the Library of Heaven's Path to find flaws in their cultivation.
But now, just by expending a sliver of his Soul Depth, he was able to discern the flaws in the other party's cultivation and make the most accurate judgment.
"This is the strength of a true master teacher..." Zhang Xuan's eyes glowed in excitement.
In the past, his understanding of master teachers was just a formality. Even though he had become a teacher, he didn't have a clear concept of what a master teacher was.
But after this enlightenment, his Soul Depth had been raised to a whole new level. Every single action of his carried the disposition of a teacher, and the dissonance from before was no longer there.
Furthermore, with the Eye of Insight, even without the Library of Heaven's Path, he was able to grasp the essence of an object easily. He wasn't like before, where he had to knock the other party unconscious or execute a battle technique before doing anything.
Even though he could only see the surface of what was written in the Library of Heaven's Path, and he wasn't able to see through those whose cultivation was higher than his, it was still a good start. As his cultivation grew, he would surely be able to improve further.
At the very least, compared to his previous pretense, he was starting to embody the disposition of a true master teacher, and he was getting closer and closer to a true master teacher.
Soon, the lesson was over, and all of the students were immersed in it. They could feel their cultivation surging once more, and they would achieve a breakthrough at any moment.
In the past, they had to force themselves to learn in class, and as time passed, many of them began to feel tired of it.
However, after the arrival of Liu laoshi, everyone was eager to attend his lessons. Every single lesson felt as though they were drinking divine wine, and their pores opened wide.
Imperceptibly, their trust in him slowly increased, slowly increasing.
"Teacher, Princess Mo Yu requests for an audience!"
Right after the lesson ended, Meng Tao walked in.
"Un!"
Nodding, Zhang Xuan walked out of the room.
Walking up to him, Mo Yu smiled. "Didn't Liu laoshi say that he would be heading to the kingdom's Book Collection Vault to browse through books? My father instructed me to invite him over... "
Previously, when Zhang Xuan was treating the kingdom's guardian divine beast, he said that he wanted to take a look at the kingdom's Book Collection Vault. However, after the duel between his two students, a series of incidents occurred, so he didn't have the time to visit.
Now that he had nothing to do, he specially came over to invite him.
Firstly, it was to express goodwill to him on behalf of the royal family. Secondly, it was to apologize for concealing the matter regarding the duel between Zhao Ya and Mu Xueqing.
"Alright!" Zhang Xuan agreed.
He had no idea where Lu Chong had gone to exact vengeance, and Zhao Ya was definitely in the midst of awakening her unique constitution. Even if he went over, he wouldn't be able to help.
He had agreed with Mo Hongyi that he would only head to the Master Teacher Academy tomorrow. After pondering for a while, he decided to head to the kingdom's Book Collection Vault to browse through some books and gather some knowledge.
With the princess leading the way, as well as the fact that he had been here before, it didn't take long for him to arrive at the library.
"This is our kingdom's Book Collection Vault. Within it are the books that Tianwu Kingdom has collected for more than a thousand years. You can browse through any type of books you wish to browse through!" Mo Yu introduced.
"Yes!"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
Since Tianwu Kingdom had been collecting them for more than a thousand years, there was bound to be a huge quantity of them. To Zhang Xuan, it didn't matter what species they were, as long as there was sufficient quantity.
When it came to reading books … he really wasn't picky.
If others were to learn of his thoughts, they would definitely spurt blood.
No matter how incredible a master teacher was, even if he could memorize the contents of more than ten thousand books in a single day, he would still be limited by his stamina.
It wasn't just because he didn't have that much time. More importantly, these books were left behind by the predecessors. Everyone had different thoughts and perspectives, so naturally, the contents would be different as well.
Many of the opinions in the books were contradictory, making it difficult for one to discern the truth from the lies. Reading too many books was equivalent to assimilating the thoughts of countless people, and this would cause one's mind to be in a mess.
Thus, it wasn't that the more books one read, the better it was. Instead, one had to browse through them selectively in order to accumulate more knowledge and clear one's mind.
If one were to browse through all kinds of books, one might just fall into a state of chaos and go berserk.
However, Zhang Xuan was different. As long as he recorded the books in the Library of Heaven's Path, he would be able to discern the errors and flaws of the books. To him, such matters were nothing at all.
Walking into the Book Collection Vault, Zhang Xuan raised his head and saw countless bookshelves filled with books. Adding all of them together, there were probably more than ten million books.
"What type of books do you wish to browse? I'll bring you there …"
Princess Mo Yu said with a smile.
The reason why she was known as a genius was because she was a well-read person.
Ever since she learned how to read from the age of six, she would come here to browse for two hours every single day. Among her peers, she was definitely the most knowledgeable, and she was the most familiar with the Book Collection Vault.
As long as she told him where the books were, she would be able to find them swiftly.
"You can continue with your work. If you need anything, you can look for it yourself. There's no need to trouble the princess! Besides, I prefer silence when I'm reading, so … "
Zhang Xuan waved his hands apologetically.
The books he read were simply too astounding. Just by running all the way here, he was able to memorize all of the contents of the books in the Library of Heaven's Path.
If others were to see this, they would definitely think that he was a monster. It was best for him to keep a low profile.
"Then I'll be leaving first!"
Seeing that the other party didn't require her help, Princess Mo Yu walked out in disappointment.
Before this young man, she felt that her beauty was completely useless.
Men of the opposite sex of the same age would be attracted by her beauty, and they would flaunt their beauty. Yet, this fellow didn't seem to care at all, treating her as air.
Sometimes, she felt stifled just thinking about it.
Could it be that he wasn't interested in women? Was he … an incompetent?
Cough cough!
Princess Mo Yu's face reddened.
Given the other party's incredible medical skills, even if he was, he would surely be able to treat her. Impossible … Perhaps, her charm wasn't sufficient to attract the other party!
That made sense as well.
The other party was a genius who couldn't even match up to Mo Hongyi, so his standards were bound to be unbelievably high. Even if she wasn't bad, her standards were only that of a Tier 1 Kingdom. On the other hand, the other party's standards must be even higher, so it wasn't surprising that he wouldn't be interested in her.
Understanding all of this, she turned to look at the young man standing before the bookshelf, deep in thought. With a slightly regretful expression, she turned around and left.
Emperor Tianxue had instructed her to find a way to get on good terms with either Zhang Xuan or Guild Leader Liu. It would be best if they could become lovers, but from the looks of it … that was impossible!
If Zhang Xuan were to know of her thoughts, he would definitely shake his head.
It wasn't that he didn't have any interest in beauties, but that he hadn't seen one that could move his heart.
Mo Yu might be beautiful, but could she be more beautiful than Zhao Ya?
The latter was just a student.
Besides, he had lived in the information age of his previous life. What kind of beauty hadn't he seen before? He was already immune to such things.
More importantly, he had just arrived at an unfamiliar environment, and he hadn't fully assimilated with it yet. On top of that, he was afflicted with lethal poison. If he couldn't become a Nine Stars master teacher before thirty, he would die. Under such circumstances, he didn't have the mood to consider such matters.
"Let's begin!"
Seeing that there was no one else in the library after her departure, Zhang Xuan exhaled deeply. Walking to the first row of the bookshelf, he stretched out his hand and ran forward.
Hualalala!
Row after row of books entered his mind under his touch, and he stored them in the Library of Heaven's Path.
Having reached Zongshi realm pinnacle, his soul had grown stronger, and the speed at which he could store books had increased as well.
…
Hu!
In a quiet alley, Lu Chong stopped and panted heavily.
After leaving the Emerald Pavilion, he changed into the clothes he had prepared beforehand, changed his hairstyle, and concealed his aura. He thought that it was safe, but who could have thought that someone would still be chasing after him?
Even after dodging multiple times and changing his clothes, the other party was still chasing after him.
"After entering the Emerald Pavilion, I intentionally concealed my appearance so that no one would be able to see my true appearance. After escaping, I made sure to conceal myself as well. How could someone be chasing after me?"
Perplexed, Lu Chong's eyebrows shot up.
Despite his young age, he had experienced life and death situations, and he knew how to escape from pursuers. Even though his cultivation had increased significantly under Liu laoshi's guidance, reaching Zongshi realm intermediate stage, he didn't act recklessly!
He had prepared for this assassination for a long time, and from the moment he entered the Emerald Pavilion, he had been concealing his appearance. Why would someone still chase after him even after escaping for so long?
"I can't allow myself to be chased down like this …"
Lu Chong's complexion turned awful.
With his strength and alertness, he had managed to avoid several pursuers. However, this wasn't a good idea.
Looking at the other party's perseverance, it was only a matter of time before he was caught.
"I can't go to Tianwu Academy. I'll only implicate my teacher and fellow students. Even more so, I can't go to the outskirts of the city. It's a vast expanse of land, and it's easy for me to be discovered! The best solution is to hide in the capital … "
Even though Lu Chong was anxious, he didn't panic.
If he were to head to Tianwu Academy at this moment, he would definitely be recognized as Liu laoshi's student. At that time, he would bring disaster to his teacher.
He was indebted to his teacher, so he mustn't do such a thing!
As for escaping …
Once he lost the protection of the crowd, it would be easier for him to be caught.
Given the standing of the Lin Clan, they could mobilize the kingdom's army to surround him.
If he were to be trapped in the wilderness, there would be no way for him to escape.
The only way out was to remain in the capital. There were many buildings and a huge crowd, making it easier for him to hide.
"Where can I hide so that the Lin Clan won't be able to find me?"
After coming up with a plan, Lu Chong swiftly thought of a solution.
Given that the other party was able to catch up to him even after escaping so many times, this meant that the other party must have some kind of special means. If he didn't hide in a good place, he would be easily discovered. As long as he was trapped, he would surely die.
"Right, Tianwu royal palace!"
Lu Chong's eyes lit up as he suddenly thought of a place.
Back then, despite the huge commotion caused by his clan's annihilation, no one in the Mingshi Tang knew about it. If the Tianwu royal family wasn't involved, Lu Chong would never believe it!
Since they were colluding with one another, he might as well hide in the royal palace.
No matter how powerful the Lin Clan was, they couldn't possibly search the royal palace openly!
With such a plan in mind, Lu Chong turned around and headed straight for the royal palace.
After successfully cultivating the Poison Body, his current cultivation had reached Zongshi realm intermediate stage. Even though his cultivation wasn't the strongest in Tianwu Kingdom, it wasn't too far from it. Ordinary guards wouldn't be able to notice him.
Not too long later, he entered the royal palace.
