After a long period of time, Zhang Xuan finally finished 'browsing' through the drumstick and placed it down.
It was indeed impossible for him to 'look' at other objects, but books were unique. With a single glance, he could store them into his Library of Heaven's Path.
"It's fine as long as I can read faster!"
Even though the upgrade of the Library of Heaven's Path wasn't too drastic, Zhang Xuan was still satisfied.
In the past, he would run around madly whenever he entered the library. It would be fine if no one saw him, but if someone did, they would surely think that he was a fool. But now, he could record books with a single glance. Not only was his speed faster, his movements were much more elegant as well. This was a huge improvement.
Nodding his head in satisfaction, Zhang Xuan quickly finished his meal and stood up. "Alright, let's go!"
Back then, when Wu Yangzi was in the underground chamber, he had said that his most important heritage and the treasures he had collected throughout his life were at the location of the Three Stars Earth Dragon in his old residence. Two thousand years had passed, and what the Three Stars Earth Dragon was more important than finding the location of his old residence.
As soon as Luo Qiqi returned, she had looked for someone to look into the matter. While taking care of the unconscious Zhang Xuan, she had also been searching for him. Now that there was finally news, she wanted to take a look as well.
"Un." The young lady nodded.
As soon as Zhang Xuan walked out of the residence, he saw a young lady knocking on his door. Upon seeing him, she hurriedly clasped her fist and greeted, "Zhang Shi!"
"Ran Xiaoxiao?"
Zhang Xuan recognized her.
She was the female master teacher who had challenged him previously, the third-ranker of the Grade-1 Tournament, Ran Xiaoxiao.
She had challenged him to a duel in the Impartation of Heaven's Will, but he had easily beguiled her into teaching the second-ranker, Wu Chan, and fourth-ranker, Xiao Nan a lesson.
"Yes! The reason I came here is to thank Zhang shi for his guidance, "Ran Xiaoxiao said with a nod.
She had been unwilling to accept the fact that a freshman was going to occupy the top seat, but the other party was able to point out the crux of her cultivation. Only then did she realize the disparity between them.
In the past two days, her bottleneck had been removed, and she had finally achieved a breakthrough in her cultivation. Filled with agitation, she had rushed over to thank Zhang Xuan. At the same time, she had also heard some news, so she wanted to share it with Zhang Xuan.
"There's no need to stand on ceremony. We are classmates, so it's only right for me to do so!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hand.
"If not for Zhang Shi's guidance, I might have been stuck here for a long time …" Ran Xiaoxiao nodded. Just as she was about to continue speaking, she suddenly froze. "Senior Qiqi?"
Earlier on, when Zhang Shi came out first, he had been too preoccupied with exchanging pleasantries. He had not expected that there would be someone behind him, and it was the most famous Senior Luo Qiqi among the Grade-2 students.
"Un!" Luo Qiqi nodded.
The other party was one of the top five geniuses among the first graders, so she had naturally seen him before.
"You …"
Ran Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes in astonishment.
Luo Qiqi was a well-known figure in the Master Teacher Academy. It wasn't just due to her outstanding talent that allowed her to be ranked amongst the top of Grade 2 students. More importantly, it was due to her beauty, and it was rumored that she came from a powerful clan as well.
In terms of appearance, she was definitely one of the top few in the so-called Campus Belle List. She had never been in contact with other men. How did she end up in Zhang Shi's courtyard?
And it was so dark … What were they doing?
"I learned alchemy from Zhang Shi, he is my teacher!" Luo Qiqi said.
"Teacher?" Ran Xiaoxiao swayed. Her eyes widened in disbelief.
That Zhang Shi had just arrived at the academy, and he was a Grade-1 student. To acknowledge a Grade-2 genius and the most famous Campus Belle as his teacher …
Wouldn't all of the male students in the academy go insane if word of this were to spread?
Not wanting to waste any more time here, Zhang Xuan waved his hands and prepared to leave with Luo Qiqi. "If it's just to thank him, there's no need for that. We are fellow students, so it's only natural for us to help one another!"
"Ah!" Ran Xiaoxiao finally recovered from her daze, and she hurriedly said, "Actually, there's another matter that I have to tell Zhang Shi!"
"Oh?"
"I have been cultivating for the past few days, and I heard that … that Zhang Shi has offended quite a few student factions, and it seems like … they are going to work together to deal with you!"
Ran Xiaoxiao hurriedly said.
"Offended the student factions? When did I offend them? "Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
Even though there were some student factions who wanted him to buy their books during the public lecture, he didn't buy them, so it shouldn't be considered as offending them.
How could an organization formed by the Master Teacher Alliance possibly deal with him over such a small matter?
"You didn't offend them?" Seeing that Zhang Xuan didn't seem to be faking it, Ran Xiaoxiao shook her head. "Those student factions have compiled the information of the teachers and staff of the academy into books in order to sell them to the freshmen, but in the end … their business was disrupted by Zhang Shi, and not only did they fail to sell a single book, they even came under suspicion. How could they not bear a grudge against them?"
"I disrupted their business?" Zhang Xuan scratched his head. "I didn't do anything at all!"
Disrupted what?
He had been unconscious for the past three days, so could he have really done something that he was unaware of?
"What did you not do?" Ran Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly. "Does Zhang Shi know a freshman named Jun Ruohuan? And Song Chao and Luo Xuan as well? "
"Of course!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
"The three of them distributed the Teacher's Manual to the freshmen under your name, and the copies they distributed were even more detailed and accurate … Not only did they cause a huge uproar among the freshmen, they also caused a huge commotion among the seniors!"
Ran Xiaoxiao said.
"Distributed for free?" Zhang Xuan rolled his eyes.
No wonder.
Those student factions wanted to sell the Teacher's Manual to him, so he had compiled it into a book and given it to Jun Ruohuan and the others out of goodwill so that they could choose their teacher wisely. Yet, who could have known that those fellows would actually give it to the freshmen for free?
While the other student factions charged a hundred middle-tier spirit stones for a single copy, the Teacher's Manual was free, and it was even more accurate … It would be weird if they didn't incur the wrath of others for ruining the market.
However, Jun Ruohuan and the others must have done it out of goodwill to help him build up his reputation. Who could have thought that they would end up offending quite a few student factions?
"Indeed. If the freshmen offend the student factions, it will be difficult for them to move forward in the future. I hope that Zhang Shi will be careful. If it comes down to it … just find a stronger student faction to join!" Ran Xiaoxiao said.
She was a member of the student faction as well, and after hearing the news, she had decided to inform Zhang Xuan about it.
If he were to join a student faction alone, he would surely be punished by the other student factions. However, if he were to join a stronger student faction, he would have to think twice before making a move.
"Thank you!"
Knowing that the other party was doing it out of goodwill, Zhang Xuan smiled.
To be honest, this didn't mean much to him at all. So be it if they offended him.
How many people had he offended ever since he came from Tianxuan Kingdom?
It would be one thing if they didn't cause trouble for him, but if they did, he wouldn't mind teaching them a lesson.
Even the head of the Spirit Emporium, a Saint realm expert, was driven mad by him, let alone a few students.
This was nothing.
"I'll be taking my leave then!"
After saying everything that needed to be said, Ran Xiaoxiao clasped her fist and left.
"Teacher, these student factions are a little troublesome. You must be careful!"
Seeing that Ran Xiaoxiao had left, Luo Qiqi frowned.
As a senior, she knew how despicable these student factions could be. If they really wanted to teach a student a lesson, they could even force the student to quit the academy.
This was precisely the reason why one had to either have backing or strength. Otherwise, they would have to find a student faction to join, or else they would intentionally cause trouble for you.
"Alright!" Knowing that the other party was doing it out of goodwill, Zhang Xuan nodded.
Knowing that her teacher didn't think much of this matter, and with School Head Mo and School Head Zhao's protection, the other party wouldn't dare to go too far.
The two of them walked along the street, and not too long later, they arrived at a gazebo by the lake.
"I have an appointment with the other party here …"
Luo Qiqi suddenly stopped.
"Who is it? Is it a student of the academy? "Zhang Xuan asked.
"I'm not too sure either. I sent a letter requesting for help from the academy's Request Tower, and someone replied to me and asked to meet me here. Most likely, it's either a teacher or a student! "
Luo Qiqi said.
"I see." Zhang Xuan nodded.
The academy's Request Tower was a place where students or teachers could turn to for help when they were faced with a problem they couldn't solve. Usually, they would have to pay with Academic Credits.
It was similar to the Wall of Dilemma in the Physician Guild.
As long as one's answer was correct, they would receive the other party's Academic Credits or remuneration.
Wu Yangzi had disappeared for two thousand years, and it was hard to tell how long it would take for Luo Qiqi to find him. Thus, she wrote a letter requesting for help and left it in the Tower of Dilemma, promising him some benefits.
She thought that it would take some time before she could answer the question, but on the third day, someone left her a message, asking to meet her here.
However, she had no idea whether the person who asked her was a male or female, a teacher or a student.
"Let's wait for a while!"
Knowing that the other party would definitely come, Zhang Xuan chuckled. Just as he was about to continue speaking, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and a figure flew over from the darkness.
Under the starlight, Zhang Xuan could tell that it was a lady. She had a tall figure and a slim waist, reminiscent of a snake.
Her figure was beautiful, and her chest was protruding beautifully. In fact, it was even more beautiful than Luo Qiqi's.
Hu!
The figure landed in the gazebo.
Luo Qiqi also got a clear look at the other party's appearance.
It was a lady in her twenties. Her appearance didn't pale in comparison to Luo Qiqi's, perhaps even more mature.
"Senior Yaoyao?"
Luo Qiqi was taken aback for a moment before hurriedly clasping her fist and bowing.
"Un, so it's you!" The other party also recognized Luo Qiqi, and her eyes were filled with curiosity. "Are you the one who is looking for Wu Yangzi's old residence?"
"That's right!" Luo Qiqi hurriedly nodded. "Does senior know about it?"
"I do know a thing or two!" The lady with an alluring figure nodded.
Hearing the other party's confirmation, Luo Qiqi clenched her fists tightly. She turned to look at her teacher, only to see the young man looking at her with a perplexed expression, seemingly wanting to ask who the lady before him was.
Without hiding anything, Luo Qiqi said, "Teacher, this is a Grade-5 student of the academy … Hu Yaoyao!"
"Hu Yaoyao?"
Zhang Xuan scratched his head in confusion.
Hu Yaoyao, Luo Qiqi, Ran Xiaoxiao …
Hu Yaoyao, Luo Qiqi, Ran Xiaoxiao …
"You don't even know me?"
Seeing the perplexed look on the young man's face, Hu Yaoyao couldn't help but ask, "What's your name? Where are you from? "
"Me?" After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Xuan looked at Hu Yaoyao earnestly and said, "I am Xuanxuan!"
(It's all free now. If you don't vote, I'll make Xuanxuan cry in front of you! Humph!)
