Jin Yuan Ding was a true Saint artifact, the guardian of the Master Teacher Academy. Even though the previous principals of the Master Teacher Academy had the authority to invite it to work, they had never been able to get it to acknowledge them as its master.
Even the previous principal, who had broken through the bottleneck of 6-star and reached Seven Star before his disappearance, was unable to do anything to it.
Putting aside how prideful that fellow was, it was extremely lazy as well, sleeping most of the time. It was impossible to get it to forge a weapon for them.
Thus, they thought that it would be impossible to get it to forge a pill for them. Who could have thought that the situation would change so quickly?
Cauldron … Cauldron your head!
You are a Saint artifact, the guardian of the Master Teacher Academy … Can you show some dignity?
Lu Feng was on the verge of going insane.
Previously, when he invited the other party to work with him, he had declared that he would turn the other party into cinders. Yet, at this very moment, he was using his cauldron to rub against Zhang Xuan, as if fearing that the other party would be angered …
Wasn't the gap between the two of them a little too huge?
After subduing Jin Yuan Ding, Zhang Xuan turned to Lu Feng with a smile and said, "It's done!"
Even if the other party was a Saint artifact, it was bound to have its flaws. With the help of the Library of Heaven's Path and the other party's promise to raise its tier, it wasn't too difficult to subdue it.
"Principal … Incredible!"
With a reddened face, Zhao Bingxu hesitated for a long moment before raising his thumb.
He couldn't help but feel impressed. Every single time the principal of the Master Teacher Academy did something unexpected, he would surely be able to bring it to greater heights in the future. Perhaps, it might even become the head of the Four Great Master Teacher Academies!
"Master, this fellow is bent on harming you. Should I turn him into cinders?"
Having been subdued, Jin Yuan Ding began to think for its master. It glared at Lu Feng viciously.
It had seen the smug look on that fellow's face earlier. As the grandteacher, its master might be able to overlook the mistakes of its grandson, but it couldn't.
"Elder …"
Lu Feng's face paled in fright.
Jin Yuan Ding was the guardian of the Master Teacher Academy, and its standing was equivalent to that of an old ancestor. If it was really turned into cinders, even Mu shi wouldn't be able to say anything about it.
"Who's your elder? Call me grandpa! "Jin Yuan Ding harrumphed coldly.
"I …" On the verge of tears, Lu Feng hurriedly turned to Mu shi, hoping that the latter would redress his grievances.
Mu shi shook his head. "Elder Jin Yuan Ding is right. You are framing a master teacher and tarnishing their reputation. I will compile a report of the matter today and report it to the headquarters. Most likely, you will lose your position as the principal of the Apothecary School, and even your master teacher license will be revoked!"
"Revoking his master teacher qualification?"
With a ghastly pale face, Lu Feng felt his legs going weak, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.
It was within his expectations that he would be stripped of his position as the head of the Apothecary School. Once his master teacher qualifications were stripped away, all of his hard work would be for naught.
Seeing Zhang Xuan's state, Mu shi sighed deeply and said, "Master teachers are supposed to be role models. For your own selfish desires, you didn't even investigate the matter properly before slandering others. You have already gone against the moral code of a teacher. You can only blame yourself for this matter. I won't be able to help you!"
After saying those words, he shook his head.
If they had listened to him and didn't give Zhang Shi a chance to explain, they would have been in big trouble.
If Zhang Xuan were to continue keeping him around, he would only become the black sheep of the master teachers. Since that was the case, it was better to expel him.
"Yes!"
Lu Feng's face turned ghastly pale. Just two hours ago, he had been a 6-star high-tier master teacher, a Half-Spiritual Perception realm expert, thinking that the principal's position was already in his grasp. Yet, at this very moment, he seemed to have lost his spirit.
He had lost the duel with Zhang Xuan, a crushing defeat.
"Chen Chengxun, for listening to the words of others, you will be stripped of your position as the principal of the Formation Master Teacher Academy.
After dealing with Lu Feng, Mu shi turned to Chen Chengxun once more.
Even though Chen Chengxun hadn't done anything wrong, he had still colluded with Lu Feng to frame Zhang Shi.
"Yes!" Chen Chengxun nodded.
"As for Dong Xin, as a student of the Master Teacher Academy, instead of working hard to set a good example for the other freshmen, she participated in the internal strife of the academy and became a tool for Lu Feng to frame Zhang Shi. Furthermore, she reported the matter to the academy without verifying the facts, nearly resulting in a huge mistake. From today onward, she will be stripped of her position as a student … In other words, you will be expelled!"
Mu shi waved his hands once more.
Now that Zhang Xuan's name had been cleared, and he had become the principal of the Master Teacher Academy, those who had framed him had to be dealt with. Otherwise, if anyone were to try to frame him in the future, what would become of them?
A principal had to have the dignity and identity of a principal. He couldn't be sullied by just anyone.
Even though Dong Xin had said that she had seen the matter with her own eyes, the reason why Lu Feng and Chen Chengxun were punished was because of her. As a master teacher, it was inappropriate for her to report the matter to the academy without verifying the facts.
She had to be punished severely.
"Yes!"
With a pale face, Dong Xin clasped her fist.
She had thought that she would be able to get back at Zhang Xuan after finding his weakness, but in the end … not only did she become his great-grandson, she was even expelled from the academy.
Even though she was still a 6-star master teacher after leaving the academy, the connections she had built in the academy over the years had all gone down the drain. With this stain on her record, it would be difficult for her to advance any further in the future.
"Of the four of us … Hu Yaoyao is the smartest!"
Mu shi sighed deeply.
The Four Great Master Teacher Academies were always competing with one another, but thinking about it now, Hu Yaoyao was still the smartest of them all. After becoming Zhang Shi's direct disciple, she had become the direct disciple of their principal … With this identity, she would be able to advance smoothly in both her cultivation and the higher examinations.
"President Zhang, is this alright?"
After dealing with those people, Mu shi turned to Zhang Xuan and asked.
Instead of addressing him as Senior Uncle, he addressed him as President Zhang. This was a clear indication of his stand on this matter. Firstly, he wouldn't overstep his authority, and secondly, he wouldn't abuse his authority for personal gain.
"This … Alright then!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
In truth, if he had gone with the flow, it would have been fine even if he hadn't punished the three of them. In any case, he wouldn't have been able to cause a ruckus. However, if he were to strip them of their master teacher qualifications and expel them … there was nothing he could say.
"I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave first … Ding Ding, come with me!"
Knowing that it would only be awkward if he were to stay here any longer, Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist and kept Jin Yuan Ding into his storage ring. After which, he bade farewell to the others and left.
Returning to his residence, Zhang Xuan instructed Sun Qiang to head to the Xuanxuan Faction to invite Apothecary Lu and the others over while he headed to the Apothecary School.
Back then, when he contacted the headquarters, the other party had said that they would be delivering the Grand Intermittence Grass to him.
Arriving at the Apothecary School, Zhang Xuan familiarized himself with the surroundings. As expected, the medicinal herb that the other party had promised had already arrived a few days ago.
It was said that the person who delivered the medicinal herb had wanted to pass it to him personally, but after waiting for an entire day, he had no choice but to return in disappointment.
After obtaining the Grand Intermittence Grass, Zhang Xuan was just about to return to his residence to check on Wei Ruyan when Luo Qiqi suddenly walked up to him.
"Teacher, you're back!"
Upon seeing Zhang Xuan, Luo Qiqi's eyes lit up.
"Zhang Shi!"
Behind the young lady were a few people. They were Yu Fei-er, Xing Yuan, Wu Zhen, Ye Qian, and the others.
At this moment, Yu Fei-er, Xing Yuan, and the others had made significant breakthroughs in their cultivation. Just like Luo Qiqi, they had reached Perfect Harmonization realm.
It seemed like Zhao Bingxu's Meridian and Marrow Cleansing had greatly benefited them. During this period of seclusion, they had made significant improvements.
"Not bad!"
Zhang Xuan chuckled.
Even though he had some conflicts with these people in the past, after experiencing life and death in the underground chamber, he had developed a special bond with them. Thus, upon seeing their breakthroughs, he couldn't help but feel gratified and delighted.
"Zhang Xuan, I told you that I would definitely return the favor. Here are three high-tier spirit stones. Take the rest as compensation for the past few days!"
Yu Fei-er stepped forward and passed a jade box over. There was a row of three high-tier spirit stones in it, and they emanated a powerful spiritual energy.
She had never won a single bet with Zhang Xuan, and in fact, she had even become his maid. Even though she had never done the duties of a maid before, she still handed the bet over to Zhang Xuan.
As a princess, she had made a breakthrough to the Perfect Harmonization realm after returning to the palace. It was not difficult for her to obtain a few high-tier spirit stones.
"I won't stand on ceremony then …"
Zhang Xuan didn't mind having more high-tier spirit stones. With a flick of his wrist, he kept them into his storage ring.
"Zhang Shi, we've heard about what you did in the Master Teacher Academy. Did the school heads … make things difficult for you?"
Xing Yuan and Wu Zhen asked.
Ever since they came out of seclusion, they had heard a lot about how Zhang Shi had crippled several schools and even challenged a vice school head to a life-and-death duel … It could be said that the commotion that Zhang Shi had caused in the Master Teacher Academy in just half a month was greater than what they had done in the past few years.
"They didn't!" Seeing the sincerity in the other party's words of concern, Zhang Xuan chuckled.
"That's good!"
Hearing that the school heads didn't make things difficult for him, the crowd heaved a sigh of relief. Yu Fei-er walked up to Zhang Xuan and hesitated for a moment before saying, "My father wishes to meet you!"
"Father? The emperor of Hongyuan Empire? "Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
Yu Fei-er was the Sixth Princess, so her father was naturally the emperor of Hongyuan Empire.
"That's right!" Yu Fei-er nodded.
"When?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
"He wishes to invite you … to the banquet tonight!" Yu Fei-er said.
"Why would he invite me?" Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
He was just a 4-star master teacher. Even though he had caused a huge ruckus in the Master Teacher Academy, it shouldn't be enough for the emperor of an empire to invite him personally, right?
"King Huai personally gifted you a luxurious mansion, and he even wanted to take me in as his servant. Not only that, he even emptied the entire Spirit Emporium … Naturally, my father wishes to meet you!"
Yu Fei-er harrumphed.
As the emperor of a Tier-1 Empire, Zhang Xuan had nearly torn down the entire capital. If he hadn't heard of this matter, he would be too foolish.
Besides, the other party had taken his daughter in as his servant. Even if Yu Fei-er didn't say anything, the emperor would have been able to find out about it.
"This …"
Zhang Xuan scratched his head. "Alright then. However, I still need to forge pills. If I'm free today, I'll make a trip over …"
Since he was in Hongyuan Empire, it was impossible for him to avoid the emperor of a Tier-1 Empire. Thus, it wasn't a big deal for him to meet the other party.
"It's settled then. I'll be waiting for you at the banquet. Here's the invitation letter!"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan had agreed to it, Yu Fei-er chuckled as she passed an invitation letter over.
"Un!"
Zhang Xuan took the invitation letter and kept it in his storage ring.
After bidding farewell to Yu Fei-er, Luo Qiqi, and the others, Zhang Xuan returned to his residence, only to see Sun Qiang rushing up to him anxiously.
"Young master, bad news … For some reason, the Ten-leafed Flower in your courtyard … has completely changed color!"
