Chapter 93: Chapter 80 Mr. Bi’s Ascension Part 2
“...”
The conflicted Yu Longqing, after hearing these words, had his eyelids twitch violently, almost exploding with anger on the spot.
This old Bi Deng was too sly.
He had gone to great lengths, even willing to let his daughter become a disciple, cooperating in every possible way, just to foster a good relationship with the person before him. Now, not only had he helped to lift the siege, but all the credit had also been completely taken by someone else...
“So that’s how it is!”
Just about to die from anger, he heard Zhang Xuan sigh, prompting a curious look: “City Lord Yu, when School Head Lu asked you to do this, didn’t you think of refusing?”
With an ugly expression, Yu Longqing was at a loss for words when Steward Liao’s voice came: “Why would the City Lord refuse? It was all decided upon through discussions with School Head Lu!”
This steward, who had once helped with beast taming, had somehow arrived in the classroom at some unknown time.
Zhang Xuan: “Mutually agreed upon?”
“Yes!”
Steward Liao stepped forward: “There are no more than five people who know that Zhang laoshi can tame the Cangbai Eagle. If the City Lord hadn’t spoken to School Head Lu, how else could he have found out?”
“Correct!”
Suddenly understanding, the City Lord looked very satisfied.
This move neither denied Lu Mingrong, thereby making it impossible to maintain the lie, nor did it raise the initiative of himself. Even if there were feelings involved, he was the first recipient.
Lu Mingrong, too, hadn’t expected this steward to react so quickly, turning the situation from passive to proactive. Knowing that saying more would only raise suspicion, despite his inner turmoil, he could only nod: “Zhang laoshi, rest assured, what we did was all in order to carry on the legacy of beast taming. We had no other intentions...”
Zhang Xuan nodded.
Who would have thought that in just a minute or two, the two most powerful experts of Baiyan City had already engaged in a covert battle of words. Although he still felt something was off, the logic was consistent, and that should be the real reason.
Otherwise, why would School Head Lu give him a Miscellaneous Duties Teacher’s spot? After all, he had been very low-key and never showed any special characteristics!
“I don’t care why you wanted me as your teacher. Now, I am giving you another chance to choose again. If you do not wish to remain under my tutelage, you may leave now!”
Ignoring the two, Zhang Xuan looked towards Yu Xiaoyu and Liu Mingyue.
“I...”
Liu Mingyue was caught in a dilemma.
Just as she said before, she was forced to accept him as a teacher and was quite resistant. But the blood essence of the Cold-Backed Turtle ignited the Peak of Pinnacle Furnace; the casually taught cultivation method increased her strength by 50%...
No matter how you look at it, taking him as a teacher was better than anyone else, and perhaps even School Head Lu couldn’t compare.
But... his age was really too young. If these two things were just coincidences, what should she do once her cultivation deepened?
While she was conflicted, Yu Xiaoyu was also very troubled.
“On what grounds? Zhang Xuan laoshi is a teacher in our Baiyan Academy and is very likely to teach Horse Taming classes. What’s wrong with buying him some teaching equipment?” School Head Lu rebuked.
“You call a thousand-li horse, teaching equipment?” Yu Longqing snorted coldly.
Have some shame!
“What’s wrong with that?”
School Head Lu said, “On the other hand, our Baiyan Academy doesn’t accept an Apprentice Gift. If you really want to help buy it, how will others look at Teacher Zhang? If the same situation that just arose occurs again, where would that leave the face of Teacher Zhang and our academy?”
Yu Longqing was taken aback.
With him phrasing it that way, he really couldn’t argue back.
Liu Mingyue was a lesson to be learned. If her father accuses you of greed for taking their horse, it truly wouldn’t be easy to explain...
“School Head, your words are misguided. Our city lord has always cherished and valued talent. Besides, Teacher Zhang helped the city lord tame the Cangbai Eagle, so reciprocating with a thousand-li horse isn’t an issue, right? Moreover, Teacher Zhang is the benefactor of our Miss, and when teaching Horse Taming classes, not having a horse wouldn’t do, so it is perfectly natural for us to purchase one in advance!”
Steward Liao interjected.
“Indeed, the Steward is right! It’s just returning a horse. School Head Lu wouldn’t think that our City Lord Residence couldn’t spare such a small amount now, would you...”
Yu Longqing smiled.
“Ahem, School Head Lu, City Lord Yu, although I don’t have that much money on hand right now, as long as I am willing to earn it, I can get it soon and make it up later...”
Zhang Xuan awkwardly smiled, not expecting both of them to insist on paying the bill, “Moreover, I am just an inconspicuous little character, a very ordinary teacher, there’s no need for either of you to spend funds for me.”
Yu Longqing nodded, “Yes, indeed, as Teacher Zhang said, he’s just an ordinary teacher! An inconspicuous little character... School Head Lu, there’s no need for you to compete with me!”
School Head Lu swept his hand grandly, “Exactly, since he is inconspicuous, there’s no need to trouble the city lord with such a grand gesture...”
The two started arguing once again.
“This is 300,000 we’re talking about... Both the city lord and School Head Lu are vying to pay for Teacher Zhang?”
“Am I seeing things?”
“Even though Teacher Zhang is highly talented in beast taming, isn’t this a bit too much from these two big shots...”
As they witnessed the two quarreling until both their faces turned red, neither willing to back down, everyone around was filled with speechlessness.
300,000 Origin Currency could easily buy a house in Baiyan City, and here they were fighting to pay, as if the opportunity was a greater honor for them... And all this for “an inconspicuous little character”, “a very ordinary teacher”; they were fighting as if they were at a festival...
Tell me... where is that ordinary!
“Father, School Head Lu...”
Just then, the crisp voice of Yu Xiaoyu rang out, “The money has already been given...”
Both masters turned their heads and immediately saw Patriarch Chen Xiao standing in front of Liu Tianzheng, passing a stack of Origin Currency, counting and smiling as he spoke, “Sorry, but I’ve paid. You guys can come back next time... No matter what, Zhang Xuan is the honorary elder of our Chen Clan, and it’s not your turn to pay!”
Watching his smug expression, both School Head Lu and Yu Longqing’s argument came to a halt, and a single thought simultaneously appeared in their minds.
“Cunning Fox!”
