"It is not the aged but the skilled who becomes the teacher, this has always been how we master teachers work . Considering how Luo Qiqi was willing to address him as her teacher without the slightest indignation in her voice, it can only mean that he possesses ability surpassing her significantly in certain aspects," Hu Yaoyao said .
There was no human who could possibly be skilled in all aspects . Even the most formidable of cultivators had their own weaknesses .
As a result, there were cases where a higher ranked master teacher acknowledged a lower ranked master teacher as their teacher .
Even Empyrean Kong shi had sought guidance from Tan shi, an inconspicuous 5-star master teacher from the remote Tan Kingdom .
Understanding this fact, the others nodded in agreement . After which, Dong Xin asked, "Since you have met him, what is your evaluation of him? Are there any flaws he has that we can exploit against him?"
"We barely traded a few words, so I am unable to make a complete evaluation of his character . Nevertheless, based on what I have seen so far, he seems to be an honest and upright person . It doesn't seem like he will do anything against his principles . However, if there is one flaw I have to name about him… it will be that his words are infuriating!" Hu Yaoyao said .
Even though she was a 6-star low-tier master teacher, she was still unable to discern anything significant about Zhang Xuan . The only thing that she came out of the encounter with was her raging fury from the other party's words .
"His words are infuriating?" The others blinked in surprise .
To make a person like Hu Yaoyao, who could take most things in her stride, angry, that fellow was indeed a genius in some ways .
After a moment of contemplation, Hu Yaoyao added, "Oh, right! That fellow seems to be interested in the old residence of Wu Yangzi . I feel that we can use this as a leverage against him to teach him a lesson!"
Even though the competition among the four of their factions was rather rife, perhaps due to mutual respect for one another, the four of them were surprisingly on relatively good terms .
"Wu Yangzi's old residence? It's good that he has something that he desires; we should be able to use it against him . Why don't we give him a false location and set up a trap there so as to teach him a lesson? This way, we might be able pull him out of School Head Mo and School Head Zhao's notice to teach him a lesson!" Xue Zhenyang's eyes glowed in excitement .
The years of cultivating the True Helios Art had slowly shaped his personality to be more forceful and decisive . If it was something he could resolve easily with brute force, he wouldn't hesitate to do so .
"That isn't safe . If he were to report the matter to School Head Mo and the others afterward, we will surely be punished for it! We have to find a way to make him suffer without having him speaking about it . In order to do so, it will be best if we can find something to threaten him with so that he won't dare speak of it," Long Cangyue said .
Unlike Xue Zhenyang's straightforward personality, Long Cangyue tended to be more thorough and scheming in his actions .
Since Zhang Xuan was favored by School Head Mo and School Head Zhao, it would be safe to assume that they would be inclined to protect him if something happened . Thus, they had to be careful when dealing with him, or else they would suffer two of the Ten Great Master Teachers' wrath, and that wasn't a joking matter at all .
Thus… the only way it would be safe for them to strike was to obtain some kind of material they could blackmail him with, so that even if they were to make him to suffer, he wouldn't dare speak up about it .
A thought came to Dong Xin's mind, and her eyes lit up .
"Something to threaten him with… That is indeed a good idea! Yaoyao, you are better than us with such matters . I recall there are quite a few students who have crossed the Bewitching Devil Faction over the past few years, and while they ended up suffering immensely for their actions, none of them dared to speak up about it . "
Hu Yaoyao's reputation in the academy was resounding . This wasn't just due to her incredible talent in cultivation and her beauty, but for her unconventional means in dealing with problems as well . There were many master teachers who had challenged her authority in the past, but she had managed to resolve them beautifully while giving the other party the humiliation of their life .
"Now that you speak of it, I do have an idea in mind . Doesn't that fellow like to sell others his favor? Since that's the case, why don't I drag his reputation down to his gutters and let him understand the price of offending me, Hu Yaoyao!"
A sharp glint flashed across Hu Yaoyao's dark eyes as a chilling smile crept onto her face . "And that Luo Qiqi as well . It seems like she cares for her teacher quite a fair bit… If she were to learn how shameless and immoral her teacher is… Let's see if she will still be able to respect him as before!"
Knowing that Hu Yaoyao would never say anything she was unconfident of, the eyes of the others lit up in excitement .
"Leave this matter to me . However, I want an additional share of that item for dealing with that fellow . This request of mine isn't too much, isn't it?" Hu Yaoyao said .
"An additional share?"
"… Fine . As long as you can deal with that fellow, we will give you an additional share!"
The others nodded in agreement .
"That's good . For the time being, you should focus your efforts on acquiring the Origin Heavy Water . We'll set off once the preparations are ready . As for Zhang Xuan, just wait for the good news! As long as he wants to know the location of Wu Yangzi's old residence, he will have no choice but to obey my commands obediently," Hu Yaoyao said as her lips curled up .
Obey her commands obediently? It seems like she has some plan up her sleeves… Zhang Xuan thought .
Considering how confident Hu Yaoyao sounded, it seemed she had already found a sure-kill way to deal with him .
Zhang Xuan mused over the various possibilities for a moment, but without anything else for him to work with, it was impossible for him to determine the other party's next course of action . Thus, he could only give up in the end .
If the other party was going to go after him, he would just have to deal with it accordingly when the time came .
At the very least, he did know of the other party's intentions, so he wouldn't be caught completely off-guard when something happened .
After Hu Yaoyao and the others were done negotiating, they swiftly left the gazebo and flitted down the hill .
Only after ensuring that everyone was gone did Zhang Xuan finally stand up .
Even though I know that she means me harm, I still have to get the location of Wu Yangzi's old residence out of her… After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Xuan eventually decided to follow Hu Yaoyao . He activated the Eye of Insight and hurried off in the direction the latter had departed in .
As for the treasure which Hu Yaoyao and the others seemed to be targeting, that had nothing to do with him, so he had no intentions in getting involved either . As for the Heavy Origin Water, since he knew that it was possible to procure it with high-tier spirit stones in Hongyuan City, he would just have to earn sufficient money to purchase it in the future .
Thus, the only thing left for him to do was to find Wu Yangzi's old residence .
Considering Wu Yangzi's prestige and standing in Hongyuan City back then, it was likely that his treasure would hold great wealth . Thus, as long as Zhang Xuan could lay his hands on it, he would not need to worry about having insufficient funds for his cultivation anymore .
Following Hu Yaoyao's trail, he soon arrived at a vast courtyard .
