81 Chapter 1238: Are You Still Suckling Milk? (1/2)
Pu!
Song shi spurted a mouthful of blood after hearing Zhang Xuan's words before fainting from sheer rage and indignation.
As a quasi 8-star master teacher coming to the weaker Qingyuan Empire, he should have been in a position of absolute prestige and authority with none daring to oppose him…
But things didn't seem to go as he anticipated. Firstly, all the master teachers that should have been under his command ended up turning against him. As if that was not enough, a cauldron even crippled him. What further intensified his wrath was that Zhang Xuan was even putting on a look of innocence, as if he had nothing to do with it at all.
You might have given pointers to your cauldron very discreetly, but as a quasi 8-star master teacher, did you really think that I wouldn't be able to notice it?
In secret, you gave pointers to your artifact to teach it how to cripple me, but publicly, you put on an innocent front, as if everything that happened had nothing to do with you…
Can you get any more shameless than that?
Furthermore… sever?
Sever your head!
Crippled as it may be, it still beats having nothing at all!
Seeing that Song shi had really fainted, Zhang Xuan shook his head and sheathed his dagger. He placed his finger on the latter's renzhong 1 to help him regain consciousness. After which, he turned to the Golden Origin Cauldron and bellowed furiously, ”What are you standing around there for? Come over and apologize!”
”Yes, Master!” The Golden Origin Cauldron walked over awkwardly with its stubby legs, reminiscent of the movements of a duck. Standing before Song shi, it apologized earnestly. ”Song shi, I shouldn't have kicked your crotch. To make up for the damage you have incurred… why don't I allow you to kick me twice?”
After saying those words, the Golden Origin Cauldron spread open its legs, as if inviting Song shi over.
Pu!
Song shi spurted yet another mouthful of blood.
The heck! Is you kicking my crotch the same thing as me kicking your crotch? Do you even have anything there for me to kick?
Besides, I am a quasi 8-star master teacher! If I need someone else to spread his legs for me to kick him back… what would become of my honor?
Song shi struggled free out of Zhang Xuan's support as he bellowed, ”Zhang Xuan, you forcefully freed the prisoners on death row, disrespected your senior, and ordered your artifact to make a move against me. It's clear that you have no eyes for the rules of the Master Teacher Pavilion at all! Have no doubt that I'll have this matter reported to the headquarters!”
”You will report this matter to the headquarters?”
”That's right!” Song shi roared with gritted teeth.
”Very well. Golden Origin Cauldron, I'll leave our Song shi over here in your care. Make sure to give him plenty of love…” Zhang Xuan waved his hand nonchalantly.
”Sure thing!” Excited, the Golden Origin Cauldron lifted its short and stubby legs, and it looked as if it would shoot up toward a certain location once more.
”You!” Alarmed, Song shi hurriedly staggered backward weakly. He swiftly drove his zhenqi, thinking that he would at least make Zhang Xuan pay the price for his actions even if he died there. However, at that moment, the sharp call of a saint beast suddenly echoed across the sky.
A moment later, something reminiscent of an inferno appeared by the horizon.
”It's the Saint 6-dan saint beast, Inferno Cloud Phoenix!” Song shi narrowed his eyes in astonishment. Following which, a thought came to his mind, and he began trembling in agitation. ”It's… the Empire Alliance Master Teacher Pavilion's Yao shi, Yao Mantian!”
”Yao Mantian?” Zhang Xuan frowned.
Activating his Eye of Insight, he began examining the inferno closely.
There indeed a figure standing on the back of the Inferno Cloud Phoenix. It was a lady who appeared to be in her forties. Dressed in plain clothes, her external appearance could not be said to be beautiful. However, the graceful disposition that she commanded set her apart from the crowd, giving the impression that she was a noble goddess from the heavens.
Pinned on her chest was a master teacher emblem, and the eight stars on it gleamed conspicuously beneath the brilliant rays of the sun.
8-star master teacher?
To think that the other party was a real 8-star master teacher!
In other words, at the very least, she was a Saint 6-dan Grand Dominion realm expert!
Amid shocked gazes, the Inferno Cloud Phoenix halted right above the execution platform. Following which, Yao shi slowly took walked down from the back of the aerial saint beast.
Before she reached the platform, a graceful voice filled the area. ”I am 8-star low-tier Master Teacher Yao Mantian from the Empire Alliance Master Teacher Pavilion. I have come under the orders of the headquarters to investigate the death of Pavilion Master Gou. May I know if Vice Pavilion Master Wu of the Qingyuan Empire Master Teacher Pavilion is here at the moment?”
”Investigate the death of Pavilion Master Gou?” Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment before coming to a realization.
Back when Zhang Xuan crashed the pavilion and Tian Qing escaped, Pavilion Master Gou had applied for the help of the headquarters in order to track the latter down, so the headquarters had sent Song shi over. After which, Pavilion Master Gou died along with seven other 7-star master teachers, and in view of the massive threat that the Qingyuan Empire Master Teacher Pavilion was in at that moment, Wu shi also sent another application for help.
The second matter was too huge for Song shi, whom they had dispatched previously from the Qianchong Empire Master Teacher Pavilion to deal with Tian Qing, so the headquarters had decided to send an 8-star master teacher over as well.
Due to the lag in between the two matters, Song shi and Yao shi had not been informed that the other would be going to the Qingyuan Empire as well.
”Qianchong Empire 7-star Master Teacher Song Xuan pays respect to Yao shi!” Song shi stepped forward and greeted.
Quasi 8-star master teacher was an informal title created by the master teachers themselves in view of the vast disparity in strength inherent among the 7-star master teachers. This title was never officially recognized by the Master Teacher Pavilion, so in front of a higher ranking master teacher, Song shi did not dare to address himself as a quasi 8-star master teacher for fear that he might appear impudent.
”Un. I remember meeting you once when I visited the Qianchong Empire Master Teacher Pavilion to conduct a lecture a few years back.” Yao Mantian nodded before a hint of intrigue crept into her voice. ”What are you doing here? Also, your injuries…”
With her eye of discernment, she could immediately tell that Song shi's crotch had been injured.
For a Leaving Aperture realm pinnacle expert to be injured in such a location, could he have been facing a formidable opponent prior to her arrival?
”Reporting to Yao shi, I came here at the orders of the headquarters to investigate the matter concerning Zhang shi's pavilion crashing and the disappearance of Vice Pavilion Master Tian.
”However, when I arrived, I learned that Emperor Chu Tianxing had been assassinated. I was unable to find the murderer, but I did manage to uncover his accomplices. By the rules of the Master Teacher Pavilion, those criminals should be publicly executed to serve as a strict warning to others against doing the same.
