It was true that he had doubted the other party's abilities previously, and he had intended to test the other party!
Now that it was pointed out, he felt incredibly awkward.
To think that such a formidable master teacher would think that it was fake... It was fortunate that the other party had a good temper. Otherwise, if a master teacher were to fly into a rage, countless corpses would be laid to the ground. Putting aside him, the entire Hongyuan Empire would be in deep trouble.
"Pavilion Master Mo admitted his mistake?"
"This... Doesn't this mean that Yang shi's words are correct?"
Hong Qian and Mo Chen glanced at one another.
To be able to deduce so much from a single punch, Yang shi's eye of discernment was truly fearsome... In other words, the other party was an 8-star master teacher!
The duo shuddered.
A master teacher of this caliber, not just in terms of rank, but in terms of cultivation, would be able to subdue the entire world.
"Initially, as soon as he appeared, he seemed no different from an ordinary person, so I couldn't help but feel doubtful. It seems like only an expert of this level is able to achieve such a feat. Even Pavilion Master Mo was unable to see through it! "
"Others are willing to display their strength so as to make others fearful and respectful of them. Probably, only those who have reached the pinnacle would be able to maintain such a calm demeanor, no different from an ordinary person!"
Hong Qian thought, and his admiration for Yang shi deepened.
This was what it meant to be an expert!
Even though he looked no different from an ordinary person, he was actually an expert at the pinnacle of the world. His calm disposition, his confidence... was something that no one could imitate.
If you don't believe me, take a look. From head to toe, the other party was no different from an ordinary person. No one would be able to recognize him even if he were to walk into a crowd...
It was no wonder why the butler dared to act so arrogantly. The butler of a prime minister was a grade-7 official, and as an 8-star master teacher, it wasn't surprising for him to look down on a 6-star master teacher.
In fact... it might even be possible that the strength everyone saw was a disguise, and his true cultivation was far beyond Transcendent Mortal 1-dan.
Otherwise, how could an 8-star master teacher, a Saint expert, regard an ant-like fellow so highly? Even entrusting him with great responsibility?
With such thoughts in mind, cold sweat trickled down their backs.
It was fortunate that they hadn't been disrespectful to Butler Sun. Otherwise, if he had really made a move, they would have been lying on the ground.
"There's no need to apologize to me. It's right for a great teacher to have a questioning spirit. There are indeed some people who impersonate high-tier master teachers to scam others. We have to investigate them thoroughly lest they tarnish the reputation of our Mingshi Tang! "
Despite Mo Gaoyuan's apology, Yang shi had no intention of pursuing the matter. Instead, he turned to Mo Gaoyuan and lectured him with the tone of an elder lecturing a junior.
"Yang shi is right!"
Mo Gaoyuan quickly cupped his fists and stood up.
"Alright, you can leave now. I don't want anyone else to know that I'm here. You should know how to deal with this," Yang shi said with a wave of his hands.
"Yes!" Mo Gaoyuan nodded and led Hong Qian and Mo Chen out with a bow.
As soon as they left the courtyard, they felt their bodies loosen up. They looked at each other and wiped the cold sweat off their foreheads.
Even though Yang shi did not exude a frightening aura, nor did he berate them loudly, his eyes seemed to be able to pierce through their disguises. They felt as if they were standing naked before the other party, and there was nothing they could hide from him.
"Teacher, what should we do?"
It took a long time for Mo Chen to recover, and she turned to look at Zhang Xuan.
"Let's return!"
Mo Gaoyuan waved his hand.
"Return?" Mo Chen was taken aback.
They had flown for nearly half a month before arriving. Wasn't it a little too fast for them to leave after exchanging a few words with Yang shi?
"I've already confirmed that Yang shi is a master teacher who far surpasses me. Since that's the case, what's the point of staying here?" Mo Gaoyuan shook his head.
"This …" Mo Chen was taken aback for a moment before coming to a realization.
Indeed, they were here to verify the other party's identity. Since they had already received the news, it would only incur the other party's displeasure if they were to remain here any longer.
"The Master Teacher Tournament will begin tomorrow. Since Pavilion Master Mo and Mo shi are here, can you stay behind to oversee the tournament?"
Hearing that they would be leaving, Hong Qian clasped his fist.
The tournament was about to begin. If he could invite these two over to oversee the tournament, the scale of the tournament would surely multiply.
"Forget it, this is the matter of your Miryu Empire's Mingshi Tang. We won't interfere in it!" Mo Gaoyuan shook his head.
The Miryu Empire was only a Tier 2 Kingdom beneath the Hongyuan Empire. If Mo Gaoyuan were to oversee the tournament personally, he would be overstepping his authority.
"To tell you the truth, Yang shi's direct disciple, Zhang Shi, will be participating in the tournament as well!" Hong Qian hurriedly said.
"Yang shi's direct disciple?"
Mo Gaoyuan frowned. Eventually, he shook his head and said, "I think I won't be participating!"
Since Mingshi Tang was in charge of the tournament, he couldn't overstep his authority. Otherwise, if the other branches were to look for him as well, wouldn't he be overworked?
"Even though I won't be staying behind, since Zhang Shi is participating in the tournament, I'll give you a reward!"
After which, Mo Gaoyuan flicked his wrist, and a jade box appeared in his palm. With a light chuckle, he said, "This is a high-tier spirit stone. You can give it to the champion of the tournament as a reward!"
"High-tier spirit stone?" Hong Qian's breathing hastened.
A high-tier spirit stone could be exchanged for ten thousand middle-tier spirit stones each.
Even he had never seen such an item before. Yet, Pavilion Master Mo was willing to take one out as a reward. Even he couldn't help but feel agitated.
"Un. Since Yang shi had his student participate in the tournament, it's clear that he's trying to temper him. Since that's the case, why don't I add a little more fuel to the fire? Let's see what kind of standard Zhang Shi can display!"
Mo Gaoyuan chuckled.
Since Yang shi wanted to temper his student, he might as well add a little more fuel to the fire.
A high-tier spirit stone might not mean much to a high-ranked master teacher like Yang shi, but to the master teachers of the Miryu Empire, it was a priceless treasure!
Using this as a reward would surely stir the hearts of the geniuses participating in the tournament, thus tempering Zhang Shi.
"Yes!" Hong Qian nodded, and he carefully kept the jade box.
"Alright, host the tournament well. Inform me of the results as soon as possible!"
Mo Gaoyuan chuckled softly before leaping onto the back of the saint beast together with Mo Chen. After which, he turned around and instructed, "Also, regarding the matter regarding Yang shi, it would be best for you to keep it to yourself. Also, warn the powers participating in the tournament that if anyone dares to gossip about this matter, I'll investigate the matter personally and destroy their sect! "
At the end of his words, his tone was stern.
Since Yang shi didn't want others to know of his matter, he had to keep it a secret. Otherwise, if even he couldn't handle it, the others wouldn't be able to.
"Yes!" Hong Qian hurriedly nodded.
Hu!
After which, Mo Gaoyuan flapped its wings and disappeared into the horizon.
…
Mo Gaoyuan and the others left fearfully, but little did they know that Yang shi had also heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing them leave the room. He wiped the sweat off his forehead.
It was too tiring to put on an act before a 6-star master teacher.
It was fortunate that the other party didn't use his Eye of Insight or that he hadn't comprehended it yet. Otherwise, he would surely have been exposed.
"I should be safe this time!"
Now that he had successfully fooled the other party, even if he were to discover that something was amiss in the future, his strength should be sufficient to deal with the situation.
After this, no one would dare to cause trouble for him for the time being.
"Grandteacher, may I know where Miss Zhang is? I have an urgent matter that I need to speak to her about …"
Heaving a sigh of relief, Zhang Xuan was still contemplating what he should do next when he suddenly heard an anxious voice. Raising his head, he saw Wang Ying standing before him.
"What happened?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
"Yes … This matter needs to be handled by Miss Zhang personally …" Wang Ying said.
Even though Mo Gaoyuan had a troubled look on her face, her eyes were staring intently at her grandteacher.
Based on her previous analysis, she was at least eighty percent certain that Yang shi and Zhang Shi were the same person. Thus, she intentionally requested to look for the latter. As long as Zhang Shi didn't appear, she would be able to confirm her suspicions.
"You want me to handle it personally? Wang Ying, what's the matter? Why are you acting so mysterious? "
Just as Zhang Xuan was staring intently at Yang shi to see his reaction, a nonchalant voice suddenly sounded in the air. Turning around, he saw Zhang shi walking in from outside. Zhang shi clasped his fist and greeted, "Teacher!"
"Un!" Yang shi nodded.
"This …"
Wang Ying widened her eyes in shock.
What was going on?
Yang shi and Zhang Shi appeared at the same time? Shouldn't the two of them be the same person?
Otherwise, how could the marks on their chins be identical?
Mo Gaoyuan was completely dumbfounded.
She was confident that the two of them were the same person, but now that they had appeared before her at the same time, no matter how fast her brain was, she had no idea what to do.
"Wang Ying!" Zhang Shi turned to look at her.
"Ah …"
Only then did Wang Ying realize what was going on, and her face reddened in embarrassment.
It seemed like she had really let her imagination run wild.
Zhang Shi was Yang shi's student, so how could they be the same person? Perhaps … she had really seen wrongly due to her injuries that day.
"Reporting to teacher and grandteacher, Lu Chong has awoken …" Embarrassed, Wang Ying clasped her fist.
After half a month of recovery, Zhang Shi had finally awoken after using the Soulrouse Grass.
"He's awake?" Zhang Shi's eyes lit up.
"Yes!" Wang Ying nodded her head.
"You can head over first, I'll be right there!" Zhang Shi waved her hands.
"Yes!" Wang Ying backed out of the room.
The moment she left, Zhang Shi and Yang shi stared at one another for a moment before heaving a sigh of relief.
Upon seeing the appearance of the female student, he knew that the other party would surely doubt his identity. Thus, he hurriedly sent a message to his clone.
With the appearance of his clone, Yang shi and Zhang Shi would be in the same room. Even if she was doubtful of his identity, she would be at ease.
"Alright, you should head to your room to rest. I'll go and take a look at Lu Chong!"
After gesturing for his clone to return, Zhang Xuan changed his clothes and reverted to his original appearance before heading to Lu Chong's room.
"Teacher …"
As soon as he entered the room, he saw a young man kneeling on the floor.
Who else could it be other than Lu Chong!
"It's good that you're awake!" Zhang Xuan nodded his head.
In order to save him, the other party had nearly lost his life … It was fortunate that he had woken up! Otherwise, he would surely blame himself for the rest of his life.
At least his efforts hadn't gone to waste.
"Hmm? Your cultivation … "
Zhang Xuan was just about to speak when he lowered his head to take a look at Lu Chong's cultivation, and he froze on the spot.
