Chapter 572
It was true that he visited with the intention of testing the other party!
Having his intentions pointed out so directly left him in an incredibly awkward position .
For him to actually doubt the identity of such a formidable master teacher . . . It was fortunate that the other party had a good temper . Otherwise, if the other party were to offended by this matter, even the destruction of the entire Hongyuan Empire wouldn't be sufficient to placate his wrath . Mountains of corpses and rivers of blood would be left in his wake .
"Pavilion Master Mo admitted his mistake?"
"Does this mean that . . . what Yang shi said was true?"
Hong Qian and Mo Chen glanced at one another in shock .
To be able to deduce this far through a mere punching routine, Yang shi's eye of discernment was nothing short of terrifying . . . In other words, there was little doubt that he was a bona fide 8-star master teacher!
The moment such a thought surfaced in their minds, a jolt ran through their bodies .
Putting aside the other party's esteemed ranking, just his cultivation as an 8-star master teacher made him a fearsome adversary that few would dare to cross the line with . The might he possessed was so powerful that it would leave any opponent in despair .
"When Yang shi first appeared, I was baffled by the lack of a powerful disposition that any experts should harness . It was as if he was an ordinary human . But thinking about it now, only a master teacher of Yang shi's level would be capable of concealing his cultivation so thoroughly that not even Pavilion Master Mo is capable of peering through his facade!"
"Most choose to use their strength as a tool to win the deference of others . Only a person standing at the very top, having seen through the illusion of glory and prestige, would be willing to humble himself as an ordinary person!"
Harboring such thoughts in mind, their respect for Yang shi deepened .
There were no experts they knew of that could compare to the middle-aged man standing before them!
To view prestige and glory as nothing more than dirt, to remain humble despite being one of the strongest experts on the continent, and that charming confidence and astounding composure . . . These were qualities that too few possessed .
From the start to the end, the other party never tried to leverage his superior cultivation against them—a common move used to instill respect and fear . Throughout the entire encounter, he remained nothing more than an ordinary person . . .
Thinking about how they had acted as compared to the other party, they felt deeply ashamed of themselves .
It was no wonder why the butler would act so arrogantly . To the butler of an 8-star master teacher, a 6-star master teacher was indeed not any different from an ordinary person .
In fact . . . the cultivation they perceived in him might even be fake . There was a good chance that he wasn't just a mere Transcendent Mortal 1-dan cultivator .
After all, how could an 8-star master teacher, a Saint expert, possibly regard a weakling so highly as to allow the other party to serve by his side?
As this thought came to mind, cold sweat drenched their backs .
It was lucky that they had maintained their etiquette before this Butler Sun . If they had really attempted to make a move against him, who knew what would remain of them now?
"There's no need to apologize . It is only right for master teachers to question everything around them . There are those who pass off as high-rank master teachers to deceive others for their own profits, and it is imperative for us to investigate such matters to prevent such frauds from sullying the name of the Master Teacher Pavilion!"
Yang shi didn't seem to have any intention of pursuing Mo Gaoyuan's faults . Instead, with a deep tone, he lectured the other with in the capacity as an elder .
"I've benefited from Yang shi's guidance!"
Mo Gaoyuan quickly stood up and clasped his fist .
"Alright, you may leave now . I don't want anyone to learn of my presence here . You should know what to do . " Yang shi waved his hands .
"Yes!" Mo Gaoyuan nodded before retreating from the room with a bent back . Hong Qian and Mo Chen hurriedly followed suit .
Only after leaving the residence did the tenseness finally leave their bodies . Glancing at one another, they subconsciously wiped the cold sweat off their foreheads .
Yang shi didn't fly into a tantrum or suppress them with his cultivation in the encounter . However, his clear eyes made them feel extremely uncomfortable . Those deep eyes seemed to peer right at their souls, and it felt like no disguise or facade could possibly fool those eyes . Before the other party, they felt stark naked .
It took a moment before they finally regained their composure . Mo Chen turned to Mo Gaoyuan and asked, "Teacher, what should we do now?"
"Let's return!"
Mo Gaoyuan waved his hands .
"Return?" Mo Chen was taken aback .
They had taken nearly half a month to get here, and yet, just after trading some words with Yang shi, they were leaving already? Wasn't this a little too fast!
"Since we've already achieved our aim here, what other reasons do we have to remain here?" Mo Gaoyuan shook his head . "Become a nuisance?"
"This . . . " Mo Chen was tongue-tied .
Indeed, their aim here was to confirm Yang shi's identity, and since they had already achieved what they were here for, remaining here would only incur his displeasure . Since that was the case, they might as well leave immediately .
Hearing that they were about to leave, Hong Qian clasped his fist and asked, "The Master Teacher Tournament is going to commence tomorrow . Since Pavilion Master Mo and Mo shi are here, won't you remain here to host the event?"
If the both of them could host the event, the prestige of the tournament would immediately shoot up several levels . This could also boost the reputation of Huanyu Empire as a whole .
"We'll decline on the offer . Since that is a matter of Huanyu Empire, we shall not get involved in it!" Mo Gaoyuan shook his head .
Huanyu Empire was a Tier-2 Empire under Hongyuan Empire . There might be several troublesome implications if he were to disregard his identity and host the event .
"To tell the truth . . . Yang shi's direct disciple, Zhang shi, will be participating in the tournament as well," Hong Qian added in hopes of persuading the other party .
"Yang shi's direct disciple?"
Mo Gaoyuan frowned . But soon, he shook his head once more and replied, "I'll still have to pass!"
It wouldn't be good for him to get involved in the affairs of a branch . His prestigious identity as the pavilion master of the Hongyuan Empire Master Teacher Pavilion meant that even the slightest action and gesture of his could have political implications, so it was imperative for him to act with caution .
"But still, since Zhang shi is participating, allow me to up the stakes!"
Mo Gaoyuan flicked his wrist, and a jade box appeared in his hands . With a light chuckle, he said, "This is a high-tier spirit stone . I shall leave this with you as the prize for the champion of the tournament . "
"A high-tier spirit stone?" Hong Qian's breathing hastened .
One high-tier spirit stone was worth ten thousand middle-tier spirit stone .
High-tier spirit stones were an important cultivation resource even to a Saint . Hong Qian had never even seen one before, and yet, Pavilion Master Mo was actually offering it as the prize for the tournament . He couldn't help but feel agitated by the matter .
