His eyes narrowed, Ling Buyang ultimately said nothing, turning away to leave.
Back when that incident happened, he had endured even greater humiliation. He had survived till now; this bit of shame was nothing to him.
“My lord...”
Liu Tianzheng looked anxious.
Being praised by that fat man and exchanging a punch with Zhang Xuan, then just leaving like that? You are a Fate Master, and you haven’t made a move yet...
“Let’s go back!”
Cutting off his words, Ling Buyang strode outward.
Liu Tianzheng and Xu Xin had no choice but to follow closely.
“Teacher, all this money...”
Seeing that the greatest crisis in her life had just been resolved like this, Xiaoyu hurriedly handed over the Origin Notes in her hand.
“Keep it, the trouble I caused implicated you all, consider it compensation!”
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
“That’s too much... Besides, we aren’t really hurt, and the teacher has already been so good to us, we can’t repay you enough...” Xiaoyu hastily shook her head.
“Buy some supplies and improve your strength as soon as possible, consider that as repaying me!” Zhang Xuan gestured with his hand.
Having just earned nearly ten million, three hundred thousand was a small sum to him and didn’t matter much.
The key point was, it was truly because he had implicated them that they had suffered these humiliations; otherwise, given their status, who would dare to offend them!
Hearing the teacher say this, Xiaoyu and the others said no more, instead silently hiding their gratitude in their hearts.
Especially Liu Mingyue, filled with guilt.
She knew some of the dealings between the Liu Clan and Heaven Mandate Hall. If nothing unusual happened, both Xu Xin and Ling Buyang were brought over by her father... yet the former hadn’t taken any anger out on her...
Such trust alone made her feel exceedingly unworthy.
“Teacher, rest assured, I will definitely work hard to gain your approval as soon as possible and become your official disciple...”
Liu Mingyue secretly vowed in her heart.
She was still just an auditing student now, far from becoming a real student, but no matter how far, she would strive and make it her life-long goal never to give up.
“Teacher Zhang... what... what exactly happened?”
City Lord Yu and others approached.
“Let’s talk in the classroom!”
Seeing more and more students gathering around to watch, Zhang Xuan gestured with his hand.
Entering the room, Yu Longqing and Lu Mingrong could not hold back any longer, all looking over in unison.
That was a real Fate Master who came to arrest him with such a mighty force, and it was resolved just by a few words? Most importantly, he made them apologize to a few kids and actually agreed to do it, even giving them so much Origin Currency...
“Are you... indeed a young lord from a major clan here on a training expedition?”
The room fell silent for a while; then Yu Longqing spoke.
As the two chatted, the remaining four Destiny Plates from Baiyan Academy were also brought over. Zhang Xuan had Sun Qiang give School Head Lu eight million Origin Currency. Things that cost nothing are the most expensive, and it’s best not to owe favors if it can be avoided by spending money.
After asking for a while longer and seeing that their knowledge on Fate Masters was limited, Zhang Xuan stopped inquiring and instead looked over, “Do we have enough cultivation methods for the Divine Soul Realm?”
School Head Lu responded, “The School only has about ten. Elder Zhang, if you want to look at them, I can bring them all to you!”
Yu Longqing added, “The City Lord Residence might have more, but also not more than twenty...”
“Ten or twenty books?” Zhang Xuan frowned.
That number was too few. To synthesize the Heaven’s Path Divine Art, it seemed somewhat difficult.
“Just bring them to me for now!”
He thought he might study them first and perhaps utilize the ability of Heaven’s Order to proactively form suitable secret manuals.
...
In the Liu Clan’s main hall, silence was so profound that one could hear a pin drop. Liu Tianzheng sat cautiously to the side, hardly daring to breathe.
After what seemed like an eternity, Xu Xin asked incredulously, “Lord Ling, could that fellow really be a young master from a major family?”
Ling Buyang nodded, “With his peak Jade Bone Realm cultivation at such a young age, it’s highly likely he’s from a major family. But, even if he is, what then? Each year, countless clan descendants venture out for trials, but only those who return alive gain status and glory; otherwise, they’re no different from ordinary people.”
Due to the sheer number of people in major families, the competition is even more brutal.
If they are not of the Direct Lineage, even if they die out there, no one would care.
Thus, countless young members of great families are killed every year, so the families have an unwritten rule: once they leave the family for trials, they’re no longer considered members of the clan. Only those who return safely from the trials are eligible to regain everything they would have inherited.
Xu Xin was startled, “You mean...”
Ling Buyang’s eyes narrowed, “He dared to insult me, and if it’s not possible to kill him outright or even covertly, why not?”
Merely demanding an apology, given his status as a family descendant with a powerful backing, Ling could endure. But this guy knew too much about the incident seventeen years ago, in such detail... If it got out, how could he continue to live?
Thus, these two must die!
Xu Xin’s eyes lit up, “Do you mean to lock his fate? To ensure his constant misfortune?”
Ling Buyang shook his head, “It’s not that simple! Locking one’s fate poses a great harm to me and for him, it would only mean a temporary inability to get what he wants. It’s not worth it!”
Xu Xin puzzled, “Then...”
Ling Buyang’s gaze flickered, “In the Dharma Form Realm, one can detach the soul, invisible and intangible. If the cultivation is not high enough, they won’t be able to detect it. I will go tonight and kill him, and that fat one too... before taking action, just think of a way to obscure his Fate, then no one can trace it back to me!”
“Great, I’ll prepare the Array now!” Xu Xin exclaimed excitedly.
Ling Buyang nodded and looked toward Liu Tianzheng not far away, “The reason I’ve endured such a great loss is because you falsely reported him as a Mandate Chaos Master!”
Liu Tianzheng’s face turned pale, “Please, Lord, forgive me...”
Ling Buyang said, “Wanting my forgiveness is simple. The expenses for setting up the Array and all my losses, your Liu Clan will make up for them!”
Liu Tianzheng’s eyebrows twitched as he looked over cautiously, “May I know... how much is this so-called loss?”
Ling Buyang’s eyes flashed, “Not much, just thirty million Origin Currency! I want to see it by nightfall. If you can’t produce it... the Liu Clan can make up for it with their lives!”
“Thirty... thirty million? Make up for it with their lives?”
His face turning pale, Liu Tianzheng collapsed on the floor.
It was over; such an amount was unthinkable; even if they sold their entire Liu Clan, they couldn’t raise that much!
One million, thirty million... In just a few days, he had doomed the entire Liu Clan. It all started from preventing his daughter from becoming a disciple of Zhang Xuan...
