"With this golden page, all of the books I have collected in the Library of Heaven's Path will become my knowledge!"
Zhang Xuan replied with a smile.
Ever since he left Tianxuan Kingdom, he had visited the Beast Hall, the Poison Temple, the Apothecary Guild, the kingdom's Book Collection Vault... There were already more than ten million books in the Library of Heaven's Path. If he were to convert all of them into his knowledge, the amount of knowledge he had would increase exponentially.
By then, even without the Library of Heaven's Path, he would be able to attract the attention of countless people with just his knowledge. It wouldn't be a problem for him to take the 2-star or even 3-star master teacher examination.
"I'll think about it after I finish reading all of the books in the Book Collection Vault!"
Knowing that it wasn't easy for him to obtain the golden page, Zhang Xuan wasn't in a hurry to use it.
After all, it was a one-time use item. The more books he collected, the more useful it would be. He had only read through half of the books in the kingdom's Book Collection Vault, so it wouldn't be too late to use it after he was done with it.
Delighted, Zhang Xuan formed a golden page. The more he looked at Lu Chong, the more satisfied he felt.
"Stand up! You are my student, and I am your teacher. As long as there is a teacher-student relationship between us... I can't just watch as you are humiliated! "
Reaching out to help the young man up, Zhang Xuan nodded.
Having comprehended the essence of a teacher-student relationship, these words were spoken from the bottom of his heart. It was as though the Heaven's Will had resonated in the surroundings, leaving one's soul in awe.
Even after he finished speaking, he felt that his mind was clear and his spirit was refreshed.
Hearing those words, Mo Yu clenched her fists tightly. "It's no wonder Zhao Ya and Mu Xueqing are willing to risk their lives for him. So this is the true meaning of 'teacher'!"
She was a master teacher, and she had students as well. However, her relationship with her students was only limited to imparting knowledge and explaining difficult questions.
Previously, she didn't understand why Zhang Xuan's students would fight so fiercely just because of a single sentence. However, after seeing this scene, she finally understood... it was due to the respect a student had for their teacher!
Only when a teacher sets an example and is a role model would his students be willing to follow him and even work hard to protect his reputation.
"Incredible!"
Mo Tianxue nodded in agreement.
As the emperor of Tianwu Kingdom, he had met many teachers and students. However, it was rare to see a teacher and student who could trust one another so deeply!
For the sake of their own interests, many teachers and students chose to distance themselves from one another.
It was no wonder why Zhang Xuan was able to win the trust of the students within a few days of entering Tianwu Academy. His charisma was something that most teachers and master teachers were unable to achieve.
"If you want the sincerity of others, you must first be sincere yourself …"
At the same time, he sighed.
This Liu laoshi treated his students with sincerity, never deceiving them, abandoning them, and treating them with sincerity. Naturally, he won the sincere support and respect of his students.
After which, he turned to look at the guards and the convulsing unconscious Elder Lin Hui. Feeling a headache coming on, he couldn't help but ask, "Elder Lin Hui, do you have any idea what's going on?
"Cough cough, it's not that I want to spoil the atmosphere, but Guild Leader Liu, you were really... too reckless this time!"
You, master and disciple, are not fighting ordinary people, but the Lin family, which has given him a headache!
Even if the Lin Clan doesn't dare to do anything to you out of fear that you are the guild leader of the Physician Guild, what about your students? What about family and friends?
Not only did the Lin Clan have the backing of the Formation Master Guild, more importantly... they had the backing of Xuanyuan Kingdom's crown princess!
That unreasonable sister of Lin Lang!
This was the most worrisome aspect of the matter.
Two years ago, the Qu Clan had a Zhizun realm subordinate to deal with the Qu Clan because of the conflict between his sister and the Qu Clan.
The royal family was well aware of this matter, but under the pressure of a Zhizun realm expert, they didn't dare to say a word!
Now, his disciple had severely injured Lin Lang, and it was said that he was even thrown into a cesspool. On top of that, his teacher had pummeled the Third Elder to the point that he was no longer a human...
This was equivalent to forming an irreconcilable grudge with the Lin Clan!
"Reckless?"
Hearing his words, Zhang Xuan didn't comment on it. Instead, he turned to Mo Tianxue and said, "Even if I didn't make a move today, do you think that the Lin Clan would drink with me?"
"This..." Mo Tianxue was taken aback.
If Lu Chong had really been captured, given the Lin Clan's influence, it wouldn't have been a problem for them to find out who his teacher was.
Even if the Lin Clan didn't vent their anger on him for this matter, the fact that the young man before him had treated the Gold-tailed Lion and pointed out that it had been poisoned was equivalent to ruining the Lin Clan's plans for the royal family... Most probably, he had already become a thorn in the other party's side, and it was only a matter of time before they clashed with him.
At this moment, the conflict had only been brought forward.
"As long as Lu Chong calls me teacher, I won't stand idly by the side!"
Harrumphing coldly, Zhang Xuan decided not to dwell on this matter any longer. Instead, he said calmly, "I'll leave the rest to you. I haven't finished reading yet, so I'll be heading back to read a little more. As for Lu Chong, wait for me by the side. Don't go out for the time being... "
After which, Zhang Xuan walked toward the library and soon, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Reading?"
"You still have the mood to read at such a time?"
Seeing Zhang Xuan turn around to read, Mo Tianxue and Mo Yu stared at one another in disbelief.
Big brother, that's the Lin Clan! Even the royal family is worried about them. Yet, you beat up an elder of the Lin Clan and tossed him to the ground...
Reading?
There were several million books in the library. Even if he wanted to, he wouldn't be able to finish them in eight to ten years. What's the use of reading a little more?
"This... fellow, perhaps... he likes to read books!" After a long moment of silence, Mo Yu finally managed to squeeze out these words.
She had known Zhang Shi for a very long time. Back then, in the Beast Hall, the other party had clamored for books as well.
After which, he went to the Red Lotus City, and the reward for saving the Great Herb King was books.
Now that the Lin Clan is on the verge of invading, he still wants to read books... Just how much of a passion does he have for books!
It's no wonder why he has so many occupations at such a young age. Perhaps, it has something to do with his hobby of reading.
The two of them let their imaginations run wild, each having their own ideas.
Actually, Zhang Xuan wasn't putting on an act. Rather, the Lin Clan's influence in Tianwu Kingdom didn't mean much to him.
Even though his cultivation was only at Zongshi realm pinnacle, with the Library of Heaven's Path and Eye of Insight, he wasn't too far off from a Half-Zhizun!
Even if his cultivation was inferior, he still had the Steelfang Howling Firmament Beast as his trump card. At the very most... he would just have to expose his identity as Zhang Shi!
He was a genius master teacher, the senior of Pavilion Master Jiang Shu, and the student of Master Teacher Yang Xuan... With these identities, no matter how daring the other party was, they wouldn't dare to do anything to him!
Thus... the Lin Clan that Mo Tianxue and the others feared didn't pose a threat to him at all.
Rather than wasting time, he might as well read some books.
...
The Lin Clan.
The most luxurious and spacious hall was where the elders of the Lin Clan would discuss matters. Usually, outsiders weren't allowed to enter, and even the elders had to apply for permission beforehand. However, at this moment, the hall was in chaos.
Two young men were lying on the floor with swollen faces reminiscent of a pig's head. It was hard to tell who they were just from their appearance.
They were Lin Lang and Ji Mo gongzi, who had been pummeled by Lu Chong.
At this moment, the two of them had already been washed clean. However, the stench had already seeped into their skin, and no matter how many times they washed it, it was impossible to get rid of it. Green-headed flies flew around them, as though they had found some delicacies. The sight of them was so disgusting that one felt like vomiting.
There were a few people standing in the room. They were the head of the Lin Clan, Lin Ruotian.
"Clan head Lin, what's going on? My son only went to the Emerald Pavilion, how did he end up in such a state? "
A huge commotion broke out, and a tall middle-aged man walked over anxiously.
Ji Clan head Ji Feng!
Walking into the hall, he saw his son lying on the floor as though a corpse. His face steeled, and rage surged within him, as though he was on the verge of exploding.
He knew that Ji Mo gongzi had come to plead for Lin Lang gongzi.
In fact, there was even a hint of encouragement in his tone. Otherwise, after being locked up by the clan, how could he possibly leave with his attendant in a carriage?
He thought that with the Lin Clan's help, this matter would be resolved easily. Yet, before he could even meet Zhang Shi, his son had already been pummeled into a pig's head.
The Emerald Pavilion was Lin Lang's business, a money-squandering establishment in the capital!
Even the nobles in the royal palace dared not act recklessly here. Yet, Ji Mo was beaten unconscious... Who in the world was the culprit? Was there still justice in the world? Was there still law in the world?
That was too arrogant!
"Clan head Ji, calm down. The Third Elder has already brought men to capture the culprit, and there should be an outcome soon!"
Lin Ruotian said. "Furthermore, your son wasn't the only one who was beaten up. Even Lang'er was killed!"
"Lin Lang gongzi was beaten up as well?"
Ji Feng had only received news of his son being beaten up, so he wasn't aware of anything else. Taken aback, he hurriedly asked, "Where is Lin Lang gongzi? Is it serious? "
"Isn't he lying down with your gongzi?" Lin Ruotian's complexion was awful.
What kind of expression is that? Your son is severely injured, and my son is lying down as well. Why can't you see him?
"This is... Lin Lang gongzi?"
Only then did Ji Feng notice that there was another person lying beside his son, and he leaped in shock.
Even though his son was severely injured, he was still able to vaguely recognize him. However, this Lin Lang gongzi had been beaten so badly that he didn't even resemble a human anymore. On top of that, he was reeking of stench. If not for Clan Head Lin admitting to it, he would have never imagined that this pig-headed fellow... was the number one gongzi of the capital.
It was impossible to tell just from his appearance...
"What's going on?"
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Ji Feng couldn't help but ask.
He thought that the other party was already lawless after beating up his son, but now that he knew that even Lin Lang gongzi had been beaten up, he realized that he wasn't just lawless anymore. He was simply disregarding the limits of the world!
"By the time I received the news, it was already like this!" Lin Ruotian shook his head.
He wasn't too sure about the exact situation, and he would have to wait for the Third Elder to return before he could confirm it.
"Then... They are severely injured, and they require treatment as soon as possible..."
Seeing that Lin Ruotian wasn't too sure either, Ji Feng hurriedly explained.
"Their injuries are extremely severe, and there's something peculiar about them as well. It's difficult for ordinary physicians to treat them. I've already invited Physician Mu Hong from the Physician Guild, and he should be arriving soon... "
Lin Ruotian nodded.
"Un!" Ji Feng nodded.
Other than Guild Leader Liu, who had recently risen to fame, Physician Mu Hong was probably the only other physician who could treat the Lin Clan.
As the previous guild leader and a 3-star physician, no matter how high his standing was, he didn't dare to reject the personal invitation of the Lin Clan.
