"I'm just here to take a look around. I'm not following anyone!"
Understanding the situation, Zhang Xuan shook his head.
"Take a look around?" The young man was taken aback.
Where was this?
Even the envoys of the League of Nations would find it difficult to enter Garden Owner Xue's herb garden, let alone take a look around... You must be joking!
He had seen the other party entering the garden, and the maid guarding the entrance personally escorted him in with a respectful attitude... Even his grandfather didn't receive such treatment!
That was precisely the reason why he wanted to make friends with the other party. Otherwise, as the successor of a herbologist clan, he wouldn't be so free as to come here on sight.
Knowing that the other party was unwilling to speak, the young man tactfully chose not to pursue the matter. Instead, he smiled and said, "I am Lu Zhan, from the Lu Clan of Myriad Kingdom City!"
"Zhang Xuan!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
"So it's Brother Zhang. It's an honor to meet you!" Seeing how the other party's expression remained unchanged even after he introduced himself as the Lu Clan, Lu Zhan clasped his fist with a grim expression.
As one of the Four Great Clans of Myriad Kingdom City, the Lu Clan was renowned throughout the entire alliance.
Even the nobles and officials would have to respectfully address him as Lu gongzi upon hearing his identity. Yet, this fellow's expression remained unchanged. From this, it could be seen that his background wasn't simple.
At this point, Lu Zhan's attitude became even more respectful.
However, if he were to know that the person before him hadn't even heard of the Lu Clan, he would probably spurt blood and faint on the spot.
The two of them chatted for a while longer, and Lu Zhan realized that the other party was indeed ignorant of herbology.
While the others were still guessing the reason behind Garden Owner Xue's invitation, as the successor of a herbologist clan, he had long heard of the matter.
There were quite a few herbologist maids in the herb garden, so it wasn't too difficult for him to gather some information.
Just as everyone had guessed, there was a problem with the Earth Vein Spirit Vine!
As such, those who received the invitation today were all skilled herbologists. Yet, this fellow actually knew nothing about herbology, not to mention, he hadn't even heard of herbologist before... What kind of identity did he have for Garden Owner Xue to invite him over?
...
While they were chatting, Luo Qingyan and Song Chao walked in as well.
Luo Qingyan swiftly scanned the surroundings and found the fellow who had left her gnashing her teeth. Pointing at him, she said, "Song shi, that's the fellow who made a move on me earlier!"
Looking over, Song Chao saw a figure.
As Zhang Xuan was chatting with Lu Zhan, Song Chao could only see his back. Even though he looked familiar, he didn't think that he was Zhang Xuan.
It was no wonder that Zhang Shi was so familiar with Master Sai of Honghai City. In his opinion, the other party should be from Honghai City. How could he possibly come here and coincidentally come to the herb garden as well?
"That's right, it's him! Just because of his identity as a master teacher, he dared to make a move on me! I hope that Song shi can redress my grievances. As long as you teach him a lesson, Qingyan... will do as you say! "
Luo Qingyan's large and round breasts rubbed against him.
She knew what men liked, and with her assets, she had obtained quite a bit of help from them. Otherwise, how could a young lady like her possibly establish herself in Myriad Kingdom City and even open a herb garden?
"Don't worry. Even if you didn't say anything, I would have taught him a lesson if I saw him!"
Feeling the astonishing elasticity of her arms, Song Chao nodded.
Even though he knew that the other party was making use of him to exact vengeance, protecting the dignity of Mingshi Tang was something that every master teacher should do. Not to mention, a beauty like her was acting in such a manner!
Following behind the alluring figure, they soon arrived before Zhang Xuan and the others.
"We meet again!"
Knowing that the 4-star Song shi would surely stand up for her, Luo Qingyan walked up to Zhang Xuan and sneered coldly.
Zhang Xuan turned around and was taken aback. Blinking his eyes, he asked doubtfully, "Didn't you say that you don't have an invitation letter? Why are you here? "
"You..."
Luo Qingyan was so angry that she almost vomited blood when she heard this.
You still have the cheek to say that I don't have an invitation letter...
You snatched it from me, alright?
"I came here with Song shi!"
Suppressing her rage, Luo Qingyan turned to the young man beside her and said, "This is Zhang Shi. He disregarded the dignity of a master teacher and ordered his tamed beast to attack me. Song shi, please redress my grievances!"
Seeing that the young man before her didn't respond, she was just about to continue fanning the flames when Zhang Shi's voice sounded, "Song shi? Oh, it's Little Song! "
"Little Song?"
Luo Qingyan was taken aback for a moment before leaping in joy.
The person before her was a genius 4-star master teacher, as well as an expert from a sect!
Even the elders of Myriad Kingdom City's Mingshi Tang would treat him as equals. Yet, a fellow who wasn't even in his twenties addressed him as Little Song...
She was still thinking of ways to add fuel to the fire, but it seemed like there was no need for that anymore.
Not only her, even Lu Zhan, who was trying to guess Zhang Xuan's identity, nearly fainted on the spot.
The four stars on Song shi's chest made it clear that he was a 4-star master teacher. Yet, he addressed the other party as Little Song as though he was a junior, a young lad...
He hurriedly turned to look at Song shi, hoping that the latter wouldn't flip out on the spot. However, the face of the 4-star genius warped in agony, and he was on the verge of tears.
"Junior Song Chao pays respect to Zhang Shi!"
At this moment, he was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
If it was any other 4-star master teacher, he might have questioned him as well. However, before this fellow... he didn't dare to do so.
He had been beguiled twice by the other party's Impartation of Heaven's Will, and he had even lost all of his assets... He had already experienced the other party's means. It was already a huge honor that he didn't flee the moment he saw the other party.
Teach him a lesson... Even if he had ten times the guts, he wouldn't dare to do so!
"Song shi, he is being rude to you. You... What?"
Luo Qingyan was just thinking about how Song shi would pummel the fellow before her when she heard those words. She froze on the spot.
What did 'junior' mean?
Shallow knowledge!
Usually, this was a term that only juniors would use when they met someone stronger than them. Yet, this 4-star genius actually used such a term?
Could it be that... this Zhang Shi was even more formidable than Song shi despite his young age?
Was there a mistake?
Luo Qingyan was on the verge of tears.
She thought that with Song shi's backing, she would be able to teach this fellow a lesson and avenge her humiliation. Who could have thought that... the other party's background was even greater!
Not only did she fail to slap his face, she ended up getting slapped instead...
What the heck was this!
Lu Zhan's mouth was also agape, and his eyes were even larger than those of a goldfish.
He had been wondering about the other party's identity all this while, and he had even guessed that the other party was from the Alliance Head Residence. Never in his wildest dreams could he have imagined that the other party would be a master teacher... Not to mention, a master teacher who could make a 4-star master teacher willingly call himself a 'junior'!
This was too frightening!
It was no wonder he could get the maid to send him in. He did have the qualifications to do so!
Ignoring the shock of the duo, Zhang Xuan turned to Song shi and asked, "Little Song, are you intending to redress her grievances?"
He was also a little perplexed when he saw the other party, but after thinking about it, he came to a realization.
Of the treatment method he had imparted to the other party, some of the medicinal herbs required to be fresh, so he could only purchase them from the herb garden. Most likely, the other party was here for some kind of medicinal herb.
"N-no... I only met her by chance. I don't know her that well..."
Song Chao smiled awkwardly.
Having been struck by the other party's Impartation of Heaven's Will twice, he knew that the other party was a master teacher who was much more formidable than him. Thus, how could he possibly dare to put on an act?
"You don't know her that well?" Zhang Xuan pointed.
Only then did Song Chao realize that Luo Qingyan's round and supple mounds were still pressed against his arm, and they were being squeezed so tightly that their shape was changing.
"We really don't know each other that well..."
Taken aback, Song Chao pushed the other party away with a jolt of his arm.
The plump mounds that made him feel so comfortable a moment ago felt as if needles were pricking him, leaving him on the verge of tears.
"Song shi..."
Luo Qingyan staggered from the push, and only then did she realize that the haughty Song shi felt not only respect for Zhang Shi, but fear as well!
To be able to make a 4-star master teacher feel fear?
Who in the world was he?
Frightened, Luo Qingyan retreated discreetly. If she was still thinking about how she could exact vengeance on Zhang Xuan a moment ago, she would never dare to entertain such thoughts at this moment.
To think that she would be so bored as to provoke such a person. It was already a blessing that she wasn't pummeled to death on the spot.
"It's fine if we don't know each other, there's no need for you to do this!"
Ignoring the fleeing Luo Qingyan, Zhang Xuan waved his hands. Suddenly, he recalled something, and his eyes lit up. Turning to Song Chao, he asked, "Oh, right. Do you still want the Soulless Metal Humanoid?"
Previously, in the soul oracle tomb, he had Sun Qiang collect four grade-7 metal coffins. One of them was empty, and the other three were filled with Soulless Metal Humanoids. In any case, those things were useless to him. Since he had met with this foolish fellow, he might as well sell them to him.
"Soulless Metal Humanoid... Zhang Shi still has more?"
Song Chao was taken aback.
"There are still three of them, and there are grade-7 metal coffins outside to store them. If you wish to buy them, I'll give you a discount. Five middle-tier spirit stones for one!" Zhang Xuan said.
Just the carcass of the Soulless Metal Humanoid had sold for forty thousand low-tier spirit stones. Adding in the coffins, it was indeed a discount.
"Five middle-tier spirit stones?" Song Chao's mouth twitched. "I don't have that many middle-tier spirit stones..."
All of his assets had been used up just to buy a single Soulless Metal Humanoid. Even though he managed to make up for his losses after returning to Myriad Kingdom City and meeting the elders of the sect, it was only low-tier spirit stones. As for middle-tier spirit stones... Even if he searched through his entire body, he only had a single one!
Furthermore, it was a reward from the elders for this matter!
"I don't have that many. How many do you have?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"Only one..." Song Chao replied honestly.
"One is fine too. I'll sell you a grade-7 metal coffin. This is something that only 4-star blacksmiths are capable of forging. It's extremely comfortable to sleep in! More importantly, it's the same set as the Soulless Metal Humanoid that I sold you previously. If you study it, you'll surely be able to achieve a breakthrough in your soul cultivation! "
With a flick of his wrist, Zhang Xuan passed a storage ring to Zhang Xuan.
To the current Zhang Xuan, storage rings were no longer valuable. He had several of them on him, and this one contained the empty coffin that Luo Zhu had stolen from the Soulless Metal Humanoid.
Through Mo Hunsheng, Zhang Xuan had gained a deep understanding of the means of the soul oracles. Thus, it would be best if he could sell it.
"Grade-7 metal coffin?" Song Chao recognized the storage ring as its owner. He scanned the contents of the storage ring with his consciousness, and his eyes lit up.
There were indeed quite a few unique symbols inscribed on it. If he were to study it together with the Soulless Metal Humanoid, he would be able to gain a deeper understanding of the soul oracles.
"Alright, I'll buy it. Here are the spirit stones!"
After which, he flicked his wrist and passed a jade box over.
"Un!" Taking the jade box, Zhang Xuan opened it slightly, and he immediately felt concentrated spiritual energy gushing out. Knowing that there was a middle-tier spirit stone within, he nodded his head in satisfaction and kept it into his storage ring.
"I have three more Soulless Metal Humanoids and a higher tier Crimson Metal Coffin here. If you wish to buy more, you can come to me with a middle-tier spirit stone. Feel free to look for me anytime!"
After obtaining a middle-tier spirit stone, Zhang Xuan looked at Song Chao in satisfaction. It was as if he was looking at a moving bag of money.
This fellow was indeed rich. He had earned quite a sum of money two times in a row.
As expected of a disciple of a sect, he was a fool with a lot of money.
"Yes! I'll report this matter to the sect. If there's anything I need, I'll look for you! "
Nodding his head, Song Chao turned around. However, barely after taking a few steps, he suddenly froze on the spot. His face darkened, and tears streamed down his cheeks.
"Damn it … I was bewitched again …"
He hadn't expected that he would fall for it once more …
It was impossible to guard against it!
