19 Chapter 19: Framing (2/2)

”Not bad!” Zhang Xuan nods his head in approval.

”Hehe, since teacher said that I did not bad, is there any reward for my effort? Like some martial art or cultivation technique and such. You can casually reward me with three or five of them...”

Hearing Zhang Xuan's acknowledgment, a wide smile appears on fatty's face.

This fellow is the type who would go too far when you give him some leeway.

”Wait by the side first. I will start the lesson after the other students arrive!” Zhang Xuan gestures.

The first to arrive is fatty. Unexpectedly, the second to arrive is the student whom he won from the bet, Liu Yang!

However, Liu Yang's attitude isn't as good as fatty's. Indignation spells on his face as he gazes at Zhang Xuan with a look of contempt.

In his opinion, Zhang Xuan only won the bet by luck and it is a torture for a genius like him to come under the tutelage of a teacher of such horrendous standards.

The third to arrive is the youth who specializes in the way of the spear, Zheng Yang!

After Zhang Xuan pointed out the problem in Zheng Yang's spear, his strength rose by more than a single fold. As a result, Zheng Yang holds great confidence towards his teacher and out of the current few students who acknowledged Zhang Xuan, he is the only one who came to him on his own free will.

The fourth to arrive is Wang Ying. The shy lass couldn't help but blush upon catching sight of the other students when she enters and immediately hides at the corner.

.....................

”I should be able to solve the problem of my body today...” Zhao Ya opens her eyes.

Yesterday, the academy's worst teacher claimed that he is capable of solving her problem. After returning to her dormitory, she felt lost and worried, causing her to roll about her bed, only falling asleep after a long time later.

Regardless of whether the other party is telling the truth or lying, there would surely be a conclusion by the end of today!

When such a thought strikes her, she gargles her mouth, puts on her clothes and leaves the room swiftly.

As the daughter of Baiyu City Lord and one of the top ten scorers of the entrance examinations, she is granted a personal residence, unlike the shared dormitory of the other students. There are many rooms in the residence and the butler, Uncle Yao, stays in one of the rooms not too far away from hers.

”Uncle Yao, I'm going to class!”

Seeing no movements in the room after shouting, Zhao Ya prepares to walk off.

”Young mistress, wait for me. I will go with you!” A shout echoes from beyond the door. The door opens and Yao Han walks out.

Looking at his face, Zhao Ya is taken aback. ”Uncle Yao, you... What happened?”

Zhao Ya is stunned to see Yao Han's swollen face and the dark rings around his eyes. In a single night, the dignified Yao Han has been disfigured. If it wasn't for the familiar voice, she wouldn't have known who he is!

”Oh, I accidentally hit myself after getting too absorbed in my training yesterday!'

Yao Han explains.

”...”

Who would hit themselves in the midst of their training?

Is it possible for anyone to find an even worse excuse than that...

”Uncle Yao, what happened? Who did it? No, I have to tell my dad!” Zhao Ya exclaims furiously.

”Young mistress, don't bother yourself with this. This is my own problem... I can resolve it myself! You better hurry to your class first. I want to see how the teacher you acknowledged is like. If his standards are exactly like what the rumors dictate, I will immediately report this to the city lord and have the Hongtian Academy get a new teacher for you...”

Yao Han waves his hand imposingly. However, as his movements are too big, his wounds are pulled on and cold sweat drenches his back.

”Fine!”

Seeing how adamant Yao Han is against her interference in the matter, Zhao Ya doesn't touch on any further on the subject. The two of them walk towards Zhang Xuan's classroom.

”Uncle Yao, given how severely wounded you are, I think you should go back and rest first. I can attend the lesson by myself, there is no need for you to send me!”

After walking a short distance, Zhao Ya noticed how his entire body is trembling and drenched in sweat, she couldn't help but say these words.

Yesterday, Zhang Xuan didn't pull back his blows even in the least. Despite applying medicine on the wounds and resting for a few hours, his wounds are still severe. It is quite incredible that he is even able to walk.

”Young mistress, the city lord has tasked me to find a good teacher for you before we set off. Yet, you had to choose such a fellow. How can I face the city lord in the future!” Yao Han says. ”No matter what, I want to expose the true face of that fellow before you and prove to you that he is a fraud! Only our pure and innocent young mistress would fall for his tricks. Given those standards of his, it is impossible for him to recruit a second student. When you finally witness that there are no other students in his class, you would know that...”

Jiyaaaa!

The door to the classroom is pushed open, revealing its interior.

Within the classroom sits Zhang Xuan and his four new students.
