In Zhang Xuan's residence.
A beautiful figure walked in. It was the princess of the alliance, Zhao Feiwu.
"Your Highness, our young master isn't back yet..."
Upon seeing her, Sun Qiang hurriedly walked up with a bitter smile.
Ever since the young master left, Princess Zhao had been coming by once every two to three days. She was already treating this residence as her own residence.
"I know, I'm just here to take a look..."
Hearing that the young master wasn't back yet, Zhao Feiwu's expression dimmed slightly.
"Your Highness, rest assured. The moment the young master returns, I'll send someone to inform you..."
Knowing that this princess might be interested in his young master, Sun Qiang hurriedly said.
"Alright!" Nodding her head, Zhao Feiwu was just about to speak when another person walked in from outside the residence. It was the garden owner of the Southern Herb Garden, Xue Yiyao.
This garden owner was known for her eccentric personality. She didn't even pay much attention to the Alliance Head Residence, so why was she here all of a sudden?
Perplexed, Zhao Feiwu asked, "May I know the reason why Garden Owner Xue is here?"
"Zhang shi, you have saved the Earth Vein Spirit Vine and saved all of the medicinal herbs. I have come here to express my gratitude to you …"
Garden Owner Xue hurriedly said.
After the past few days of recuperation, the new spirit had already fused with the Earth Vein Spirit Vine, and the withered medicinal herbs had regained their vitality. At this moment, she was certain that Zhang Shi's means were effective, so she decided to pay a visit personally to express her gratitude.
Even though she had given him quite a number of spirit herbs as compensation, it was still insignificant compared to the medicinal herbs in the garden.
"In order to prepare for the Master Teacher Tournament, Zhang Shi has gone out to cultivate, and he hasn't returned yet..."
Sun Qiang explained.
Before Zhang Xuan left, he didn't mention that he was heading to the Yin-Yang Lake. Instead, he instructed everyone to go out to cultivate so that they could avoid a lot of trouble.
"Cultivate?" Garden Owner Xue was taken aback. "Alright, I'll pay Zhang Shi a visit once he returns!"
Since Zhang Shi wasn't around, there was no need for her to stay. Just as she was about to leave, she felt a powerful aura pressing down on her. A group of people appeared outside the residence.
"Is Zhang Xuan, Zhang Shi here? Sect Leader Luo Huang of the Flowing Cloud Sect, Sect Leader Bai Kaizhi of the White Sun Sect, Sect Leader Huang Qi of the Cascading Sand Sect … fourteen sect leaders and His Majesty of the Empire have arrived. Ask him to come out immediately! "
A clear shout soared into the sky.
Not many people knew that Zhang Xuan had left the Myriad Kingdom City.
These powers didn't view the rising master teacher as a threat, so they didn't pay too much attention to him. As such, they didn't know that he wasn't in the residence.
"Fourteen Sect Masters and His Majesty?"
"What are they doing?"
"Zhang Shi is a master teacher of our Myriad Kingdom City. Why are you looking for him?"
…
His voice echoed in all directions, and the guards and soldiers who heard it were all stunned.
Zhang Shi was a master teacher participating in the Myriad Kingdom Alliance Tournament. Why would these people come looking for him?
Sun Qiang, Zhao Feiwu, and Garden Owner Xue glanced at one another, feeling that something was amiss.
Even if they wanted to look for Zhang Shi, they would have to come one by one. There was no way that it would be that simple to deal with fourteen of them at once.
"Everyone, our young master isn't in the residence!"
After a moment of hesitation, Sun Qiang took a step forward and stood before the crowd.
"He isn't in the residence? I think he must be hiding somewhere. Get him to come out, or else don't blame us for sending men to search for him. "
An elder waved his hands grandly.
The implications of Kong Shi's handwritten letter were too great. What if that fellow were to learn of it and escape?
"Search?"
Sun Qiang frowned. "Our young master is a 4-star master teacher representing the League of Nations in the Master Teacher Tournament, and his residence is under the protection of Mingshi Tang. May I ask if he has violated his duties as a master teacher, or has he done something that is detrimental to the reputation of the Master Teacher Pavilion for you to mobilize such a large force to search his residence? Besides, even if he is to be searched, it should be Mingshi Tang of the Myriad Kingdom Alliance. What rights do you have? Do you have a search warrant? "
As a competent butler, he was well aware of the authority of a master teacher.
As a 4-star master teacher, Zhang Shi was a respected figure. Without Mingshi Tang's warrant, who would have the right to search his residence?
"Even though we don't have a search warrant, given that so many master teachers of a higher rank than him are here, as a junior, a 4-star primary master teacher, he should come out to welcome them!"
"That's right. Get him out to welcome us! Is he going to violate the etiquette of a master teacher? "
The two middle-aged men bellowed.
They had come all the way here just to ask about Kong Shi's handwritten letter. If that fellow were to continue hiding, how could they interrogate him?
"Welcome him?"
Hearing the arrogant words of the other party, Sun Qiang felt rage surging up his face. His face darkened, "Audacious!"
"What?"
Zhao Feiwu and Garden Owner Xue's bodies swayed.
The audacious one … seems to be you!
These are the heads of the various sects, experts, and half 5-star master teachers who have come to the Master Teacher Tournament … You, a mere Transcendent Mortal 1-dan cultivator, how dare you berate them?
"Our young master is the direct disciple of Master Teacher Yang Xuan. A bunch of trash who haven't even reached 5-star yet, what are you doing here?"
Sun Qiang waved his hands haughtily, "What are you waiting for? Scram!"
The old master, Yang Xuan, was a 6-star master teacher. As his butler, he had to display the bearing and pride of a master teacher of that level.
For a bunch of trash who hadn't even reached 5-star to ask the young master to welcome them, who gave them the guts to do so?
"…"
Sect Leader Luo Huang and the others were stunned. They stared at one another with their mouths agape.
They thought that after revealing their identity, Zhang Xuan would surely piss his pants in fear and rush out to welcome them. Never in their wildest dreams did they expect to be blocked by the butler at the entrance … Even saying that they were audacious and asking them to scram …
The heck, did they hear wrongly?
"What did you say? Say it again? "
Sect Leader Luo Huang's eyebrows shot up.
He was the sect leader of the Fleeting Cloud Sect, a Transcendent Mortal 5-dan Consonant Spirit realm pinnacle expert. To be chased out by a small fry from nowhere, he felt as though his lungs were going to explode.
"What did I say? Are you deaf? Master teacher … Pui! How did you manage to get into the sect with such poor hearing? "
Sun Qiang waved his hands grandly, "Alright, I can't be bothered to waste my breath on you. Since you didn't hear me clearly, I'll say it once more … This butler is asking you to scram, don't cause trouble here!"
"You're courting death!"
Seeing his teacher being humiliated, Luo Xuan's face turned green. His body swayed, and he raised his hand to slap Sun Qiang.
Boom!
A massive palm print descended from the sky, and a violent aura swept up the dust on the ground.
Qiu!
But before the palm could land on Sun Qiang, a shrill cry echoed in the sky. Before Luo Xuan could react, a massive shadow fell from the sky.
Due to the incredible speed, a shrill cry sounded in the air, threatening to pierce one's ears.
"The heck …"
Luo Xuan's face warped in horror, and before he could even exclaim in shock, he was already pinned to the ground by a massive butt.
His body was twisted to such an extent that it looked as though it would snap at any moment, and a mouthful of blood spewed from his mouth.
Demon Cinque Beast!
Back then, before Zhang Xuan left, he had instructed this fellow to protect everyone. Thus, upon seeing that Luo Xuan was going to make a move on Sun Qiang, how could it possibly hesitate? Thus, it immediately descended from the sky.
As a Transcendent Mortal 4-dan pinnacle expert, it was on the verge of achieving a breakthrough at any moment. Its strength was significantly higher than Luo Xuan's, and on top of that, it possessed incredible speed and an invincible defense. Before the latter could even react, he nearly died.
At this moment, Luo Xuan was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
The most popular genius in this Master Teacher Tournament, an existence on the verge of achieving a breakthrough to Consonant Spirit realm, was nearly killed by a spirit beast … Just the thought of it left him frenzied.
"Beast, how dare you!"
Sect Leader Luo Huang bellowed furiously.
He was the sect leader of the Fleeting Cloud Sect, the strongest expert in the twenty-eight regions … Yet, his student was actually pinned to the ground and nearly killed. Infuriated, he prepared to make a move.
"Why? As a half 5-star master teacher, you are going to make a move on an ordinary person? May I ask, what have I done wrong? What has Zhang Shi done wrong? "
Sun Qiang stepped forward.
As master teachers, they wouldn't make a move on ordinary people as long as they didn't commit any grave mistakes. All he did was stop the other party from entering. If this fellow were to really make a move on him, he would be the one to embarrass himself.
Even though he was confident that the other party wouldn't lower himself to such an extent, he still felt uneasy.
"You …"
Upon being questioned, Sect Leader Luo Huang's palm abruptly halted.
The other party was just a servant. To kill him for offending him was simply too ungentlemanly.
"I'll say it once more. The young master isn't in the residence. Regardless of whether you are here to acknowledge him as your teacher or to do something else, please leave!"
Seeing that the other party didn't make a move, Sun Qiang heaved a sigh of relief and harrumphed.
"Acknowledge him as my teacher?"
Hearing those words, the crowd felt light-headed once more.
Acknowledge your head!
Have you ever seen a person coming to acknowledge a teacher with killing intent?
Besides, this Zhang Xuan was only a 4-star primary master teacher. What right did he have for them, who were experts from the twenty-seven powers, to acknowledge him as their teacher?
"Sect Leader Luo, what do we do now?"
Seeing the awkward situation, an elder walked over.
With so many top-notch experts from the various powers, they couldn't possibly barge into the other party's residence to wreak havoc and even torture his servants!
If they were to do so, even if the headquarters were to investigate this matter, they wouldn't be able to face anyone.
But … if they didn't do so, how could they determine whether Zhang Shi was around or not?
"Let's return first!"
Sect Leader Luo Huang's face darkened and he waved his hands.
"Return?"
Everyone was taken aback.
Were they really going to end up like this?
Wouldn't that be too embarrassing!
"What else can we do?" Sect Leader Luo Huang harrumphed.
Actually, he was feeling a little troubled as well.
From the looks of it, Zhang Xuan wasn't around. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to not appear even after causing such a huge commotion.
Since the person he was looking for wasn't around, he couldn't afford to argue with a mere butler!
More importantly, this butler was a little 'idiotic'. When others heard that they had so many experts, they would be scared speechless. Yet, this fellow … didn't think much of them at all ….
It was hard to tell whether this fellow had a big heart or he had some sort of backing!
He was afraid that he might just die from anger if this continued.
"Let's return first and send someone to keep an eye on this residence. The moment Zhang Xuan returns, report it to me immediately and we'll arrest him!"
After a moment of hesitation, Sect Leader Luo Huang waved his hands.
Rather than continuing to embarrass himself here, he might as well leave first.
