24 Enlightenment Will Trial 2 (1/2)
The discussion upon the topic of Zhang Xuan's possible coercion had just reached its most heated moment when the knocking came once more, ”There is someone outside who is seeking an audience with Zhang Xuan laoshi…”
Elder Shang harrumphed lightly before answering, ”Looking for Zhang Xuan? Who?”
The teacher on duty noticed elder Shang's displeasing, however he still replied shakily ,”It is… the son of Zhennan Wang, Bai Xun xiao wangye!”
Lu Fengyi placed his fingers together before interlocking them and laughing inwardly like he imagined those evil genius scientists would. The arrival of potential allies was almost perfect for what he was planning to do. After all, slapping an elder's face in public was a terribly shameful thing and could possibly cause repercussions if not backed up with sufficient allies.
”Hurry, invite him in!” Elder Shang did not dare to hesitate, quickly ushering for the teacher on duty to show the important guest in. Someone like Bai Xun was not a person he could afford to annoy, not to mention offend. Even the slightest mistreatment might cause an avalanche to fall upon him, even his death would be considered a light punishment.
Moments later, a white-clothed man strode through the door with several obscure, armoured figures behind him.
Experiencing the pressure for himself, Lu Fengyi felt as if a mountain was being weighted upon him, even though Bai Xun did not even spare a glance for him. Not only that, the figures behind Bai Xun were Supreme Soldiers, who were all experts in the way of cultivation. Without even releasing their auras, Lu Fengyi could feel an underlying danger from the figures.
Instantly, everyone in the room aside from Elder Mo and Zhang Xuan stood up and gave a respectful bow towards Bai Xun. Lu Fengyi, of course, followed suit in order to prevent any suspicion or troubles being placed upon him.
”Paying respects to xiao wangye...”
Waving away the bows, Bai Xun ignored the others, looking straight towards Zhang Xuan, ”Ah! Master Zhang, you are here indeed…”
Creasing his brows, Zhang Xuan questioned, ”Why are you here?”
”My dad will be leaving after he is done reporting on his duty, so I can't remain in the capital for long. Thus, I have to make use of every second to learn from master so that I can pass the test!” Bai Xun stepped towards Zhang Xuan before bowing slightly.
Seeing that not only did Bai Xun not punish Zhang Xuan for being rude, but instead calling him master, the others in the room stared confusedly.
”Master? Since when did this trash obtain the right to be called a master? Bai Xun xiao wangye, you must have mistaken him for another teacher...”
Elder Shang stopped speaking as Bai Xun turned an icy glare over towards him, ”Who the hell are you, trying to question master Zhang's capabilities. I'll have you know that grandpa Zhang is a master painter of this era and his prowess is incredible to the point that even three of me are incapable of matching up to him. Yet, you dare question his capabilities? The heck, you must be tired of living! Or perhaps, you are trying to look for a sparring partner? Bai Yang!”
One of the shadowy figures stepped out from the formation behind Bai Xun, clasping his hands together, ”Your humble subordinate is here.”
”Slap him!” Bai Xun commanded.
