The black-robed elder harrumphed coldly . "Humph, you do have quite a glib tongue . Do you take me as one of those naive, young ladies who fall for your words easily?"
"Naive, young ladies? Falling for my words?" Zhang Xuan hurriedly waved his hands earnestly, denying the accusation . At the same time, an inconspicuous frown surfaced on his head .
He could vaguely feel that the black-robed elder was referring to something with his words, but he had always conducted himself properly, never getting involved with any women . What could the other party possibly be getting at?
If others were to hear that, they might just think that he was a playboy!
"I will just get straight to the point with you . "
With his hands behind his back, the elder slowly closed in on Zhang Xuan .
In that instant, Zhang Xuan felt as if a massive mountain was slowly making its way toward him, and the immense pressure that he felt seemed to sap the air from his lungs .
This pressure weighed on both his mind and his body, rendering him completely powerless . It was apparent that the other party wanted him to know the gap between them and force him to submit .
"Humph!" With narrowed eyes, Zhang Xuan drove his Heaven's Path zhenqi, and the pressure on him alleviated significantly .
As powerful as the other party was, there was no presence more imposing than the heavens .
"Hmm? Interesting!" Seeing that the other party was able to endure his pressure so easily, an interested gleam surfaced in the eyes of the black-robed elder .
"To be able to endure my pressure so easily, you must have some kind of formidable artifact on you . It seems like you have quite a doting teacher there . "
"I am my teacher's only direct disciple, so he does treat me quite well," Zhang Xuan replied .
The other party was too fearsome . With his current strength, he stood no chance at all . Even escape seemed unlikely at this point . Thus, he could only place his hopes in his teacher, 'Yang Xuan', to deter the other party from doing anything overboard .
The black-robed elder looked at him and asked, "May I know whom your teacher is?"
Zhang Xuan nodded . "My teacher goes by the name of Yang Xuan . "
Upon hearing the name, the black-robed elder's eyes narrowed menacingly, and he harrumphed coldly . "Yang Xuan? Young man, I still have a rather favorable impression of you . Don't lose it by lying!"
Suddenly, Zhang Xuan suddenly felt as if he was standing above a sinkhole and an unknown power would consume him at any moment .
Gritting his teeth to withstand the devastating might crushing him, Zhang Xuan asked, "Lying? Elder, why would you say such words?"
"I have met Yang shi once, and he has already long retired from worldly affairs . As far as I know, he has never accepted any students, and yet, you say that you are his student? Are you honestly expecting me to believe such words?" the black-robed elder said with a threatening edge in his voice .
"You have met… Yang Xuan?" Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up in alarm, and for a moment, he found himself in a daze .
'Yang Xuan' was a name that he came up with spontaneously back then . In other words, it was a fictional character that he had fabricated… and yet, the black-robed elder was saying that he had met Yang Xuan?
It couldn't be that there was really a master teacher going by the name of Yang Xuan in the world who coincidentally wielded unfathomable strength as well, could there?
That would be too much of a coincidence!
"Alright, I have no interest in whose student you are . I am here only to offer you a warning . It's good to dream big, but a human should know his own place and limits . If you attempt to pursue things that are unreachable to you, not only will you bring pain upon yourself, you will also hurt those around you as well . By then… things will not be resolved with just mere words . And I cannot promise that those whom you associate with will remain unharmed in the process as well . "
"Know my place and limits? Pursue things that are unreachable?" Zhang Xuan was confused as to what the other party was saying . Just as he was about to ask about it, his eyes suddenly widened in astonishment . "You are… from the Luo Clan?"
The threat, coupled with the previous words about naive, young ladies…
Could the other party be Luo Ruoxin's family?
Only a clan as powerful as the Luo Clan would be in command of experts who could subdue him without using any battle technique at all .
The pieces of the puzzle seemed to fit together perfectly .
While he and Luo Ruoxin had never told anyone that they had gotten together, it was not surprising that a family as powerful as the Luo Clan would be able to uncover that .
"Quite a keen mind you have there . " The black-robed elder harrumphed, not denying the matter . With a lofty look on his face, he gazed down at Zhang Xuan as if looking at a mere ant and said, "By this point, you should be aware that she's the little princess of our Luo Clan . She carries heavy responsibility on her shoulders . I advise you not to have any thoughts toward her . Someone like you will never be good enough for the Luo Clan!"
"Someone like me will never be good enough?" Zhang Xuan subconsciously clenched his fists tightly together .
"Indeed . The Luo Clan is one of the top three Sage Clans on the Master Teacher Continent, and there is no one who doesn't know that our little princess wields immense power . As long as she wills it so, anyone whom she favors will be able to rise to the top of the world . You might have some wits, and your talent isn't too bad either, but if you think that you are qualified to get together with our little princess, I suggest that you take a closer look at yourself . A toad lusting over the flesh of a swan will never end well!" the black-robed elder sneered in disdain .
Who were they?
One of the behemoths of the Sage Clans, a top-notch power on the Master Teacher Continent!
On the other hand, the other party was just a bumpkin from a remote place . Even if he possessed exceptional talent, he was still nowhere near to matching up to the peak .
In the first place, they were existences from two wholly different worlds .
"Who are you to judge my worth?" The other party's words left a surge of fury rising in his chest . He could not accept the other party saying that he was not good enough for Luo Ruoxin, and he raised his head proudly and bellowed, "So what if you are from a Sage Clan? A higher starting point doesn't give you the right to look down on others .
"A day will come when even Sage Clans like yours won't catch my eyes!"
So what if the other party was from a Sage Clan?
