Kapitel 68: Paying Respect to Teacher Zhang Xuan

Redakteur: GaiaNova, Thaddpole&Tortex

“Grandfather, I have heard of Clan Head Wang Hong. He is listed in the potential Zongshi board and he ranks within the top ten most influential figures within the kingdom. His cultivation has already reached Fighter 7-dan pinnacle, just a step off from Zongshi! Why would a person of such standing pay a visit to you?”

Shang Bin’s eyes shone in excitement, although he still found the situation before him unbelievable.

In Tianxuan Kingdom, those who knew of the royal family were aware of the Four Great Clans as well. Clan Head Wang Hong, as the strongest individual in the Wang Clan, had already reached Fighter 7-dan pinnacle and his name spread far and wide. Normally, it was impossible to fawn on such a person even if one intended to. Yet, today, he specially made the journey to pay a visit to his grandfather. If it weren’t for him hearing the news firsthand, it would be hard for him to think of it to be true!

“Haha, it must be Wang Tao!” Elder Shang Chen chuckled.

“Wang Tao shaoye?”

Shaoye -> Young master

“That’s right. Wang Tao is the eldest son of Clan Head Wang Hong and eventually, he will succeed his position in the Wang clan. Not only did I accept him as my disciple, I even successfully brought his strength up to Fighter 4-dan Pigu realm. Thinking of it now, the clan head might be aware of my efforts to nurture him, thus, he came here specially to express his gratitude!” Elder Shang Chen stroked his beard, indescribable gleefulness could be heard from his words.

“Wang Tao… is his student?”

Listening to their conversation, Zhang Xuan was taken aback.

He was aware that Wang Ying’s brother was accepted as a disciple by an elder. However, never would he have imagined that the elder would be him.

“Yes!” Shen Bi Ru nodded her head, although her complexion was still awful. “It would be better for you to expend your energy on thinking of a solution to your problem. Elder Shang Chen is obviously against you, and now, he has the Wang clan behind his back as well. In the future, he will be even more domineering. Even if you were to stay in the academy, you will be in for a difficult time!”

“We’ll talk about it in the future!”

Zhang Xuan didn’t care about it at all.

Even if the other party were to pick against him, he wasn’t someone that could be bullied so easily. At most, he just had to reveal his strength and settle the matter with strength!

After all, with the Library of Heaven’s Path which allowed him to see through the flaws of others, it was hard to say which one of them would emerge victorious.

“You…”

Seeing the fellow behaving so nonchalantly, Shen Bi Ru stomped her feet furiously.

She had been worrying about him, and yet he didn’t care about it at all. How infuriating!

“Let’s go and welcome them!”

Gleefully, Elder Shang Chen hurriedly led Shang Bin and the rest to the entrance of the academy.

A personal visit from the clan head of one of the Four Great Clans, it would be worth the effort even if they had to welcome him from outside the academy, needless to say, its entrance.

If he could strike a connection with them, then it was possible that he might even become a candidate for the position of vice-principal for the selection that was going to be held next year!

“Elder Shang!”

Before reaching the entrance, a group of seven to eight people walked over with widened strides. The one leading the group was a middle-aged man. There was an authoritative tone between his brows. It was clear with one look that he had been in an esteemed position for a long time.

The clan head of the Wang clan, Wang Hong!

There were a few elderly following behind him, and every movement of theirs exuded the strength of one that was at minimum Pixue realm. Without guessing, it was clear to see that they are the elders of the Wang clan.

At the very back, there were two youngsters. One of them was Wang Tao while the other one was the grandson of the 2nd Elder, Wang Yan, who was just admitted into the academy this year. It was said that he had been admitted as a student of Lu Xun laoshi. Possessing decent talent, he was favored by him.

“I am flattered by the personal visit of Clan Head Wang. If there is any matter, you can always just pass a message to me. Coming over like this, I am… very honored!” Elder Shang Chen hurriedly said.

“There is no need to be so formal. To tell the truth, I do have a matter that I require your help on…” Clan Head Wang Hong replied with a smile.

“Clan Head Wang, feel free to speak!” Elder Shang Chen quickly responded.

If he was able to do him a favor, then surely he would be able to successfully climb on the massive tree known as the Wang clan…

“I’m sure Elder Shang has already heard of my youngest daughter, Wang Ying. I’ve heard that she had acknowledged a teacher named Zhang Xuan…” Clan Head Wang Hong spoke slowly.

“Zhang Xuan? Is Clan Head Wang here to find trouble with him?”

Shang Bin’s eyes twinkled. He almost leapt from the overwhelming elation upon hearing those words.

Previously, he saw Wang Tao shaoye outside Zhang Xuan’s classroom, and he knew that Wang Ying was deceived into becoming Zhang Xuan’s student. It was within his expectations that the Wang clan would not allow such a thing to happen. However, not even in his dreams would he have expected that the other party would make a move so swiftly, even having their clan head to come in person to settle the issue!

Clenching his fists tightly, Shang Bin roared frenziedly in laughter in his mind.

[So what if you have won the Enlightenment Will Trial? This is the Wang clan, one of the Four Great Clans of Tianxuan Royal City! Not mentioning how you are the worst teacher of the entire academy, even if a reputable teacher like Wang Chao were to offend them, he will also be in for a ride of misfortune!]

Given that Shang Bin was able to think of such a possibility, naturally, Cao Xiong also arrived at the same conclusion. His entire body trembled intensely in excitement, as though he was afflicted with epilepsy.

“Shut up! This isn’t the place for you to speak!” Hearing his grandson interrupt Clan Head Wang’s words, Elder Shang Chen quickly chastised him.

Even though he was the head of the Education Bureau, he had too much work that required his attention. All he knew was that Zhang Xuan had recruited five students, but as for who the five are, he was completely oblivious to it.

As such, he didn’t know that Wang Ying was also his student.

“Don’t worry about…” Clan Head Wang Hong waved his hand to show that he wasn’t bothered by Shang Bin’s interruption. However, halfway through his words, Wang Tao stepped forward and shouted, “Father!”

“What’s wrong?” Clan Head Wang Hong frowned.

“That person there is Zhang Xuan laoshi!”

Wang Tao pointed.

Upon walking into the hall of the Enlightenment Will Tower, he spotted and recognized Zhang Xuan.

“He is Zhang laoshi?”

Looking over, Clan Head Wang Hong’s eyebrows shot up.

“That’s right, this person over here is our academy’s Zhang Xuan!”

He never thought that Zhang laoshi would be so daring to even deceive Wang Ying. A gleam flashed across Elder Shang Chen’s eyes as he introduced him with a smile.

“Hehe! This time, he is in for a tough time. Clan Head Wang is decisive when it comes to killing others. He isn’t as law-abiding as us teachers…”

“He deserves it, to dare to even deceive the precious daughter of Clan Head Wang. Aren’t his guts a little much too inflated…”

Seeing Clan Head Wang Hong turning his attention to Zhang Xuan the moment he walked into the hall, Shang Bin and Cao Xiong laughed heartily in their hearts at his misfortune.

[Which of those who managed to become a clan head of the Four Great Clans aren’t vicious?

As the academy’s worst teacher, he is courting death for trying to coax the daughter of such a person!]

Just when the two thought that Zhang Xuan was doomed this time, an incredulous spectacle suddenly unfolded before them.

They only saw Clan Head Wang Hong taking two steps forward to stand before Zhang Xuan. He wasn’t as angry as they expected him to be, neither did he assault him as they expected him to. Rather… with an excited expression, he bowed deeply and carefully, “Wang Hong pays his respects to Zhang Xuan laoshi!”

His attitude made it feel as though he was paying respects to some great leader, fearful that his abrupt appearance and words would incur the displeasure of the other party.

“The heck!”

“Surely my eyes are mistaken! This… How can this be?”

Shang Bin and Cao Xiong spasmed simultaneously, and the both of them almost lost consciousness on the spot.

[What is going on?

This isn’t how the script should go. Shouldn’t Clan Head Wang Hong roar at Zhang Xuan upon catching sight of him, then pummel him while he’s at it?

Why did he suddenly bow, and even ‘pay respects’…]

It might just be a formality, but not even his own grandfather, Elder Shang Chen, had the privilege of being greeted like this just now…

What rights did a fellow with a score of zero in the Teacher Qualification Examination have to be entitled to such a greeting?

“Calm down, Clan Head Wang Hong. Being angry hurts one’s liver. The worst teacher in the academy isn’t worthy of your wrath… Un? Cough cough…”

Initially, Elder Shang Chen had wanted to play the role of a good person so as to pretend to persuade him otherwise. However, halfway through his words, he saw that sight unfolding before him. In this instant, he felt as though he had eaten a dead rat. His smile froze on his face and he almost choked to death on his saliva.

[Didn’t you say that Zhang Xuan deceived Wang Ying to become his student?

Didn’t you say that Clan Head Wang Hong is here to find trouble with him?

Can someone tell me, what the heck is going on here?]


Kapitel 69: Withdrawing from Tutelage

Redakteur: GaiaNova, Thaddpole&Tortex

“Clan Head Wang, you…”

Not just the crowd was shocked, even Zhang Xuan was slightly bewildered by the current situation.

Even if he had taught Wang Ying, there shouldn’t be any need for him to specially make the journey to visit him.

“You treated my daughter’s legs and imparted to her incredibly profound knowledge. It is only fitting for me to come in person to show you my gratitude!” Clan Head Wang nodded his head.

The issue with Wang Ying’s legs had always been a weight on his heart. Not only did this teacher treat her disability, he even brought about a rise in her strength. His capabilities were already comparable to a master teacher!

Before a master teacher, even his identity as the head of the Wang clan meant nothing at all!

“She is my student, so it is natural that I have to guide her well. This is where my responsibility lies, so there’s no need for you to be thankful to me!” Zhang Xuan nodded his head.

The responsibility of an educator was to impart knowledge, impart skills and clarify doubts!

In his previous life, although he might have just been a librarian in a high school, he was still a member of the teaching faculty. As such, he held high respect and love toward this occupation.

Since Wang Ying was his student, there was no reason for him to feel smug for solving her problems to allow her to cultivate better.

Upon seeing the calmness he spoke with, the crowd went insane once more. This was the head of the Wang clan! It was like a beggar meeting a billionaire! How could he still remain so calm, not anxious in the least at all?

“This is where my responsibility lies. Good, good!”

Taking this scene into sight, Elder Mo stroked his beard and he nodded his head in approval.

As the winds of the world changed, the ancient values gradually corroded. In the pursuit of fame and benefits, many teachers have already forgotten their primary objective. It was respectable for this Zhang Xuan laoshi to be able to remain true to his core.

“With this kind of mindset, along with Liu Yang’s high level of trust and Clan Head Wang Hong’s commendation and respect, could Elder Shang Chen be mistaken?”

At this point, doubts started to bloom in Elder Mo’s mind.

Before he came, he had heard many criticisms about Zhang Xuan laoshi from Shang Chen, causing him to think that he was truly a useless trash who is only capable of deceit, flattery and bringing harm upon others. However, by the looks of it now, this didn’t seem to be the case at all!

However, he chose to keep his misgivings to himself and continued to watch over the situation.

“Clan Head Wang, please proceed in!”

As expected of an elder, Shang Chen’s awkward expression recovered swiftly as he invited the group from the Wang clan to their respective seats.

“Clan Head Wang Hong!” Elder Mo clasped his hand.

“Oh, it is Elder Mo Xiang from the Teacher Guild. What kind of wind brought you here today?” Only noticing Elder Mo now, Wang Hong quickly stood up.

The Teacher Guild was the number one guild, rising above that of the Apothecary Guild, Formation Master Guild and many others. Even if the cultivation of the elders in the guild was not comparable to his own, they still weren’t people that a mere Wang clan could afford to offend.

“There is some minor matter that requires my attention!” Elder Mo casually replied. Then, with a puzzled look, he gazed over, “Even if Wang Ying xiaojie were to acknowledge Zhang Xuan as her teacher, there shouldn’t be any need for you to come over personally to pay a visit to him!”

Xiaojie -> Miss/ Young mistress

Who was this person before him? The clan head of one of the Four Great Clans, an incredible expert who lords over a formidable power!

Even if his daughter had acknowledged Zhang Xuan as her teacher, and Zhang Xuan had treated the disability that had been plaguing her for a long time, the situation still shouldn’t warrant a personal visit on his part.

“Looks like Elder Mo is still as wise as always! Indeed, I have something that I need to trouble Elder Shang Chen for!” Clan Head Wang Hong nodded his head with a smile.

“Oh? Trouble me? Clan Head Wang is too polite. Feel free to speak whatever you need me! As long as it is within my abilities, I will try my best to accomplish it!” Hearing that the other party had something to ask of him, Elder Shang Chen’s self-confidence recovered. He looked at Zhang Xuan gleefully as he stroked his beard, putting on an attitude of superiority.

[You just happened to treat Wang Ying’s disability by coincidence, thus impelling Clan Head Wang to spare you an additional glance. However, if we were to look at the situation carefully, regardless of identity or the ability to nurture others, you still pale too much in comparison to me!

Look, Clan Head Wang has something to ask of me…]

“It’s like this. My son has been under your tutelage for these few days and he has been under Shang laoshi’s care. I apologize for not coming over personally earlier to express my gratitude to you!” With a hand gesture from Clan Head Wang, an elder walked forward and presented something. “This is a token of my appreciation for the concern you have shown my son these few days!”

“Clan Head Wang, there’s no need to be so polite. Teaching and nurturing the young generation is the duty of a teacher, I dare not accept your present!”

Elder Shang Chen quickly rejected it.

Given that Elder Mo from the Teacher Guild was here, even if he wanted to accept the presents, he would need the guts to do so!

“Elder Shang’s upright character is worthy of admiration!” Upon the other party’s refusal, Clan Head Wang Hong waved his hand as he dropped the matter. Then, he hesitated for a moment before continuing, “Actually, there is something I would like to discuss with Elder Shang today. Recently, my son has been facing some problems in his cultivation. He realized that elder’s lessons weren’t compatible with him. So… can you withdraw him from your tutelage?”

“Withdraw from my tutelage?”

Upon hearing these words, the calm on the surface but gleeful on the inside Elder Shang Chen staggered and almost fell down.

[Withdraw from my tutelage?

Why would you want to withdraw from my tutelage all of a sudden?]

A student withdrawing from a teacher’s tutelage was equivalent to slapping him in his face, as this meant that the teacher’s ability to impart knowledge was subpar. Initially, he thought that Clan Head Wang Hong was here to delegate some task to him, so he was feeling gleeful about it. In the end, the reason for his visit turned out to be this matter. The heck, if news of it were to spread out, he might even lose his position as head of the Education Bureau!

He could very well die from the shame!

“Indeed! I hope that elder can fulfill this request of mine!” Clan Head Wang Hong said.

“This…” Elder Shang Chen felt a fiery sensation on his face, as though someone slapped it. He felt like throwing a temper, but at the same time, he dared not to. After hesitating for a long period of time, he squeezed out a smile and said, “Clan Head Wang, don’t worry about it. Since your son has already made his decision, then I will grant his request!”

After which, he took the identity jade token from the other party and drips a droplet of his fresh blood on it.

Weng!

His lessons plan on it had been erased.

“My gratitude, Elder Shang!” Clan Head Wang Hong nodded his head in satisfaction as he passed the jade token to Wang Tao.

“There’s no need for such words. The relationship between a teacher and a student should be mutual. If he is unable to adapt to my teachings, it is perfectly normal for him to want to withdraw from my tutelage. Just that, may I know which teacher Wang Tao wants to acknowledge after withdrawing from my tutelage?”

As his heart bled, Elder Shang Chen squeezed out a smile.

Wang Tao was an extremely famous student under his wing. He was an incredible existence that was able to score within the top ten in the level examinations every year!

For such a person to withdraw from his tutelage… Just by thinking about it, he felt like pulling his hair out.

At the same time, he was also perplexed. Since Clan Head Wang Hong was adamant to have his son withdraw from his tutelage, who would he have him acknowledge?

He was an elder, as well as the head of the Education Bureau. He might not be the best teacher in the entire academy, but he was considered as a star teacher. There were many people who would squeeze their way to come under his wing!

He truly couldn’t think of anyone who could make the head of the Wang clan specially make the journey here to help his son withdraw from his tutelage and switch to that of theirs.

“Oh, I already have a candidate in mind!”

Clan Head Wang Hong stood up and walked over to Zhang Xuan. Courteously, he asked, “Zhang laoshi, is it possible for you to accept my son, Wang Tao, under your tutelage? Can you accept him as your student?”

“What?”

“This…”

“This shouldn’t be happening? To withdraw from Elder Shang Chen’s lessons, just to become Zhang Xuan’s student?”

Seeing his actions and hearing those words, the entire Enlightenment Will Tower went deathly silent. Everyone had gone insane.

Especially Elder Shang Chen, he almost puked a mouthful of blood and died on the spot.

[Clan head Wang Hong, you must be joking!

Withdrawing from my lessons just to come under the tutelage of a fellow who has scored a zero in his Teacher Qualification Examination?]

Shang Bin and Cao Xiong were dumbfounded.

The trash teacher whom they had viewed contemptuously before actually made the head of a clan personally step forth to persuade an elder to withdraw his son from his tutelage, so that his son could come under his wing. [The great heavens and the vast earth, can you be any more unreasonable…]

However, before the crowd could recover from their insanity, they heard the faint voice of a young man echoing in the room.

“My apologies, but I refuse!”

Gudong!

Everyone fell to the floor.
