"Is there a problem with the Cloudmist Flower?"
Walking out of the residence, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but turn to look at Wei Changfeng.
That fellow refused to sell it initially, but he suddenly decided to sell it at such a low price. This left him perplexed.
"There's no problem with it. It's just that it won't be easy to harvest it. Young Master, rest assured, I will definitely find it and save my daughter!" Wei Changfeng replied with a determined smile.
"Is it really that simple?" Zhang Xuan was doubtful.
Vice School Head You didn't seem to be an easy person to get along with. Was it really possible for him to exchange the Ten-leafed Flower for a single tea leaf so easily?
"Young Master, there's no need to worry. It's just a little troublesome. It won't be too much of a problem!"
Wei Changfeng said.
Saving his daughter was his own business, and he couldn't allow the young master to take the risk as well.
Even though he had no idea what was going on in the room, the fact that the young master had consumed a 6-star Minor Revitalization Pill in order to recover showed that the young master had exhausted himself greatly.
The young master had already sacrificed so much in order to save his daughter, so how could he still worry?
"It's best that there won't be any problems. If it's too difficult, you can tell me in advance. I might not be a match for you, but I still have many means up my sleeves! "
Seeing that Wei Changfeng was unwilling to speak any further, Zhang Xuan instructed.
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Wei Changfeng nodded. "The Cloudmist Ridge is still some distance away from here, so I need to make some preparations first. I'll be taking my leave first."
"Un. Hurry up!" Zhang Xuan waved his hands.
Even though he found the matter a little bizarre, considering that Wei Changfeng was a Saint realm expert and the head of the Spirit Emporium, he didn't think too much about it.
Hu!
After bidding farewell to Zhang Xuan, Wei Changfeng immediately soared into the sky, and in just a few moments, he had already disappeared from sight.
Saint realm experts possessed incredible flying speed. Even without aerial spirit beasts, they were still able to cover ten thousand li in a single day.
"Alright, I'll be heading back as well!"
Seeing Wei Changfeng leave, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. In an instant, exhaustion flooded his mind.
Meeting Hu Yaoyao, reading the terpsichorean manual, cultivating, establishing the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy, and saving Wei Ruyan … It had been two days and two nights since he last slept.
Exhausted, Zhang Xuan left the Physician School and headed straight for his residence in the Elite Sector.
Just as he pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard, Luo Qiqi walked up to him excitedly. "Teacher!"
Zhang Xuan was in a coma. In order to take care of him, she had specially prepared a key so that it would be more convenient for her to enter and exit.
"He's here …"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
After the establishment of the Xuanxuan Faction, Zhang Xuan sent Luo Ruoxin back to rest while he was discussing the rules and regulations of the Xuanxuan Faction.
"Teacher, Senior Hu Yaoyao arrived early in the morning …" Luo Qiqi whispered.
"En!" Zhang Xuan responded.
Last night, after teaching this arrogant lass a lesson, he told her to report to him the next day. It seemed that she was quite punctual.
Walking into the main hall, Zhang Xuan saw that Hu Yaoyao was already waiting for him. The haughtiness and seductiveness from before were nowhere to be seen. Instead, she was looking at him respectfully.
Yesterday's incident had left her fearful.
But it was no wonder. All of her means were completely useless against Zhang Xuan, and she was even chastised by her teacher … On top of that, she had cultivated the Dance of the Rippling Cloud Robe which he had modified, making her extraordinary. If she still didn't know what was good for her, she wouldn't be worthy of being called a monster.
"Zhang Shi …"
Walking up to Zhang Xuan, Hu Yaoyao clenched her jaws and bowed slightly.
As expected of one of the top rankers of the Academy Belle Rankings. Even though she was only dressed in an ordinary master teacher robe, her every movement exuded a seductive aura that could leave one's heart fluttering.
This was especially so when one could vaguely see her alluring figure beneath her loose robe, leaving one's imagination roaming.
However, Zhang Xuan paid no heed to all of this. Gazing at Hu Yaoyao impassively, he asked, "Do you know why I accepted you as my apprentice?"
Hu Yaoyao nodded. "Zhang Shi wants me to reveal the location of Wu Yangzi's old residence!"
After saying those words, she suddenly felt stifled.
She was the leader of the Bewitching Devil Faction, a renowned genius of the Master Teacher Academy, and on top of that, a beautiful lady as well … To think that she would be so unwilling to become your apprentice …
How could there be such a freak in the world?
Her charm was boundless, and as long as it was a man, they would be unable to control themselves and obey her. However, it was only after meeting Zhang Xuan that she realized that in the eyes of the other party, her charm was not even worth a high-tier spirit stone.
"Un. Speak!"
Seeing that Hu Yaoyao was aware of her identity and standing, Zhang Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
Indeed, this was the reason why he wanted to accept her as his apprentice. Otherwise, why would he want such an eccentric fellow to follow him? It was not like he was lacking subordinates.
"You won't believe me even if I were to tell you the location. Since that's the case, I can bring you there right now, Zhang Shi!" Hu Yaoyao said.
"Alright, lead the way!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hands.
Even though he was exhausted, it was still some time before nightfall. If he could find the place, he would be able to save himself a lot of trouble.
"Un."
Nodding, Hu Yaoyao led the way out of the residence.
Beckoning Luo Qiqi, the two of them followed closely behind her.
After leaving the Master Teacher Academy, they passed through a few alleys, and it didn't take long before a massive manor appeared before their eyes.
It was spacious, clean, and had a dignified aura to it. With a single look, one could tell that it was an extraordinary residence.
"It's here!" Hu Yaoyao stopped.
"This?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
The walls, tiles, and even the architectural style of the residence were all brand new. There wasn't the slightest hint of an ancient ruin to be seen. This was Wu Yangzi's old residence?
Was this for real?
Even if a grandmaster like Wu Yangzi were to go missing, there would surely be someone who would take care of his residence, leaving behind traces of his past for the later generations to admire.
But this place was completely new, and there was no trace of it at all.
It was no wonder Hu Yaoyao said that no one could find the old residence other than her.
Even if they were to find it, they would still find it hard to believe!
"Two thousand years ago, Elder Wu Yangzi lived here!" Hu Yaoyao nodded.
Zhang Xuan couldn't help but ask, "There are no traces of it at all. How can you be so sure that this is the old residence?"
Even Luo Qiqi was curious about the matter.
If they were to find the wrong residence, their trip would have been in vain.
If so, the treasure left behind by Wu Yangzi would be nothing more than empty words.
"It's not convenient for me to tell you how I know about it, but I'm afraid that I'm the only one in the entire Hongyuan City who knows about it!" Hu Yaoyao replied.
"Alright then."
Seeing that Hu Yaoyao was unwilling to speak of it, Zhang Xuan knew that it was futile to ask any further. In any case, they had already found the old residence, so there was no point in asking for the reason. Thus, he nodded before turning his gaze toward the residence.
The red teak wood doors seemed to have just been replaced, and the smell of paint lingered in the air.
The doors were tightly shut, and Zhang Xuan could hear footsteps and even the sounds of craftsmen working within.
However, there wasn't a single person outside, and there weren't even any guards.
Normally, with such a large courtyard, no matter what status one had, there would be guards standing guard outside the door. However, there was nothing here, which made people feel that it was strange. It was as if no one lived here.
Luo Qiqi asked, "Do you need me to knock on the door?"
"There's no need for that …" Zhang Xuan shook his head. "Let's find a place to rest first!"
Since this was Wu Yangzi's residence, they had to enter the residence to search for the so-called ancient domain. If they were to knock on the door without coming up with a plan, it would raise the guard of others, and that would spell trouble for them.
Since that was the case, they might as well ask around and see who the owner of the residence was first.
Taking a look around, Zhang Xuan saw a teahouse not too far away from where he could see the residence. He beckoned the waiter over, and the three of them walked in.
Even though the teahouse was facing the street, it was already nearing evening, and there weren't many customers in the teahouse.
Walking up to the second floor, Zhang Xuan ordered a pot of tea and casually tossed a middle-tier spirit stone to the attendant who was filling the teapot with water.
"Attendant, I have something to ask you!"
Catching the middle-tier spirit stone, the attendant's eyes lit up in excitement. He hurriedly clasped his fist and said, "Gongzi, feel free to speak. As long as I know the answer, I'll surely tell you everything I know!"
"Who does the residence over there belong to? It looks quite nice! "
Zhang Xuan gestured.
"This? I'm not too sure who it belongs to either. It often changes owners, and in the two years I've been here, it has already changed three times … No, it should be four times! "
Hearing those words, the attendant chuckled, thinking that Zhang Xuan would ask him something.
"Four times? Is the fengshui of this place not good? "Hearing that the residence had changed owners consecutively, Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
"Of course not! This place is located right next to the Master Teacher Academy, and it's on the main road as well. How could its fengshui be bad? I'm not too sure about the exact situation either. Two years ago, a merchant lived here. Barely two months after he bought the residence, something happened to his family, and his business suffered a blow. Thus, he was forced to sell it.
"Later on, it was an official, but he didn't stay for too long before he was transferred away.
"The last resident lived here for more than a year, and he goes by the surname of Zhao. He's a decent person, and he often comes here to drink tea. However, for some reason, he had to move away as well. He just sold the residence a few days ago, and the new buyer was extremely generous. Not only did he not haggle over the price, he even paid an exorbitant sum so that he could move away as soon as possible. He's currently renovating the residence, so he probably hasn't moved in yet. As for who he is, I'm not too sure either! "
The attendant said.
"You just bought it?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
Previously, he had heard from Sun Qiang that there was a residence with a good location, and he had been wanting to buy it. However, before he could come to an agreement, it was snatched away by a tycoon. Could this be the residence?
"You can leave for now."
After asking a few more questions, Zhang Xuan realized that the other party didn't know anything at all. Thus, he waved his hands and beckoned for the Great Violetwing Beast to bring Sun Qiang over. After which, he continued drinking his tea.
Not too long later, the Great Violetwing Beast arrived. Sun Qiang leaped down from the back of the Great Violetwing Beast and walked up to Zhang Xuan.
"Young Master, you were looking for me?"
Sun Qiang bowed.
"Un. Is the residence opposite the one you spoke of previously?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"That's right. I was intending to buy it, but it was bought by a rich man …" Sun Qiang nodded.
This location and the spaciousness of the residence suited the young master's requirements. However, it was a pity that they didn't have the funds to compete with the other party. Otherwise, they wouldn't have given up on it.
"Do you know anything about that rich man?" Zhang Xuan asked.
After a moment of contemplation, Sun Qiang replied, "This … I'm not too sure. However, as long as I head over to the merchant, I should be able to find out!"
The sale of a residence required a merchant to vouch for it, so it wasn't too difficult to find out who the buyer was.
Knowing that Sun Qiang used to be a merchant, Zhang Xuan said with a wave of his hand, "Help me look into the identity of the owner of this residence. I need to know something within two hours!"
"Yes!" Sun Qiang nodded before turning around to leave. Roughly an hour later, he returned with his eyes widened in shock, as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard.
Noticing Zhang Xuan's expression, Zhang Xuan asked, "What's wrong?"
Receiving no response, Sun Qiang asked, "Young Master, is there anyone else in the Master Teacher Academy who goes by the name of … Zhang Xuan?"
"Yes, there is!" Zhang Xuan frowned. "What's wrong? I told you to look into the identity of the owner of this residence, so why are you asking me this question? "
If there was anyone with the same name as him, he would have long heard of it.
"If there isn't anyone with the same name, then …"
Sun Qiang took in a deep breath and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this residence is yours!"
