âZhang Xuan?â Luo Xuanqingâs eyes narrowed as well. He anxiously turned his gaze over to the elder and asked agitatedly, â Which Zhang and which Xuan? 1â
â Zhang, as in the Zhang with the side characters of âbowâ and âlongâ, and Xuan, as in the Xuan from hanging on a noose. 2 â the elder explained.
âThe both of them have the exact same name? This... canât be possible... right?â It was as if an explosion had occurred in Luo Xuanqingâs mind. With widened eyes, he staggered backward weakly, his face pale with disbelief.
That name was identical to that of his good brother. They couldnât possibly... be the same person, right?
He had only hung out with Zhang Xuan because the young manâs temperament was to his liking, and to him, all that really mattered was that the young man wasnât from the darned Zhang Clan. As such, he had never thought of looking into the young manâs origin.
Could he really be from Qingyuan Empire too?
If that was truly the case...
Wouldnât that mean that the man he had been looking for was the very same person he had called his brother all this while?
Luo Xuanqingâs body trembled uncontrollably as the various scenes of how he came to met Zhang Xuan flashed across his mind.
The first they met, the young man had said âYour sisterâ to his face and ended up being pummeled into the ground. After the incident, the young man suddenly became exceptionally nice to him, never hesitating to offer a helping hand in his time of need. And all of this, it went without saying that he attributed them to his personal charisma...
But could it actually be because of his younger sister?
âYoung Master Luo...â Noticing the huge fluctuations in Luo Xuanqingâs mood, the elder couldnât help but quiver in fear, fearing that the other party would vent his anger on him.
âIâm fine, you donât have to worry about me.â Luo Xuanqing exhaled deeply and calmed himself down. âI would like to look into the background of a student from our Sanctum of Sagesâ Elite Division.â
âIt should be much easier to obtain information on a student in the Sanctum of Sages. Young Master Luo, whose background do you want me to look into?â the elder asked.
âI want you to look into a student who has just enrolled into the Sanctum of Sages just earlier this year, Zhang Xuan!â Luo Xuanqing said.
âActually, thereâs no need to look up that. Zhang shi is the principal of the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy that I have just spoken about.â Hearing that name, the elder couldnât help but chuckle softly, and he remarked in admiration, âDespite coming from an Unranked Kingdom, Zhang shi has managed to progress this far within a short period of time, successfully becoming an 8-star master teacher when he had just barely stepped into his twenties. Due to his legendary accomplishments, Zhang shi is regarded as the new idol amongst the student populace of the Sanctum of Sages. In fact, the young lady who has attended to you earlier is his loyal fan!â
âIdol? Fan?â Luo Xuanqing quickly turned his gaze toward the young lady who had attended to him earlier and saw that the latterâs eyes were twinkling in reverence upon hearing her idolâs name being called. It was to the point that he could almost imagine saliva streaming down the corner of her lips.
âDamn it!â Luo Xuanqing bellowed furiously as he stabbed his fingers deep into the flesh of his palm. In this moment, he felt as if a million ants were running across his scalp, and unimaginable rage bubbled furiously within him.
In less than a month after coming to the Sanctum of Sages, that fellow had actually seduced so many young ladies, converting every single one of them into his devoted fan. Given how his younger sister had no experience with the opposite gender, it was no wonder why she would end up falling into that fellowâs trap!
I thought of you as my brother, but you flirted with my younger sister?
More importantly, you even acted so innocently before me... Zhang Xuan, just how much more shameless can you get?â
Luo Xuanqing couldnât stop his lips from quivering in shock. He felt like he had fallen into the other partyâs trap right from the very start.
âHe intentionally got close to me in order to obtain news about my younger sister... This wonât do. I must kill that despicable bastard!â Frenzied with fury, killing intent billowed through Luo Xuanqingâs veins.
Previously, he was still a little hesitant at the notion of killing his younger sisterâs lover, but now that he knew who that man was and the despicable means that man resorted to, he couldnât suppress his fury any longer.
All along, you are the person whom my younger sister likes, and yet, you feigned ignorant whenever I brought up the topic, acting as if you were an outsider to the matter. To think that I actually thought of someone like you as my brother...
This must be the greatest stain of my life!
More importantly, I even foolishly told you everything I knew...
âItâs no wonder why he turned down my request... How could he possibly kill himself?â
The more Luo Xuanqing thought about this matter, the more infuriated he became. If his emotions could materialize, the area around him would be swiftly overwhelmed by a raging inferno and burned down to cinders.
âThis isnât good... Hurry up and get Elder Ge over! Tell him that the King of Destruction is going to destroy the Hall of Integrity!â Seeing that the young manâs strength was on the verge of bursting forth, the elderâs face immediately paled in fright, and he hurriedly turned his head around to instruct the female attendant.
As a managerial elder, his cultivation was only at Saint 7-dan, a long way off from matching up to Luo Xuanqing. If they were to go head-to-head with one another, there was no way he would be a match for the other party.
Sensing the dangerous aura shrouding around the young man before him, he couldnât help but recall the various âincredible accomplishmentsâ of the young man before him. At this point, there was little doubt that the young man was going to do something very soon.
âYes, elder!â the attendant hurriedly nodded. But as just as she was about to turn around and leave, Luo Xuanqing suddenly appeared right before her eyes. With reddened eyes, he roared, âTell me, why do you revere that Zhang Xuan so much? Is he stronger than me? Is he more good-looking than me?â
In terms of strength, he was a Saint 8-dan expert whereas Zhang Xuan was only at Grand Dominion realm pinnacle. In terms of looks, that fellow was no different from a Fighter 1-dan to his Saint 9-dan! He just couldnât understand why others would idolize that fellow instead of him!
âI-I-I... Wahhhhhhhhhhhhh!â Feeling the immense pressure that Luo Xuanqing was emanating, the young ladyâs face paled in fright, and she began to bawl uncontrollably.
âLet go of her!â the elder bellowed angrily.
âI...â It was only in this moment that Luo Xuanqing finally regained his rationality, but even that was insufficient to quench the indignance that he felt inside.
To show a look of reverence when speaking of Zhang Xuan, only to be scared into tears when facing him... Why? WHY?!
The elder could guess what Luo Xuanqing was thinking of just by the look on his face, and he suddenly felt completely speechless.
Just by that terrifying look on your face, it would take a miracle for any girl to like you!
Take a look at Zhang Xuan! Even before the most frightening lightning tribulation, he was still able to stand firmly with a composed smile on his face, diving into it fearlessly and eventually send it fleeing even... n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Now, take a look at yourself! How can you ever begin to compare with him?
âForget it, Iâll kill that fellow right now!â Knowing that he wouldnât be able to get an answer out of the female attendantâs mouth, Luo Xuanqing spat coldly as he dashed straight for Jian Qinshengâs residence.
Now that he had found out that Zhang Xuan was the culprit who had seduced his younger sister, there was no reason for him to hesitate anymore! There would be more than enough time for him to think the matter through after smashing that fellowâs head into the ground!
It didnât take long before he was standing right above Jian Qinshengâs residence, and he bellowed loudly, âLuo Xuanqing is here to pay a visit to Elder Jian!â
His deep voice reverberated deafeningly throughout the entire residence, reminiscent of the rumbling of thunder.
âLuo Xuanqing, what are you up to this time around?â A mere instant after Luo Xuanqingâs loud voice echoed throughout the entire residence, an infuriated voice suddenly sounded.
Following which, a beautiful figure flew over.
Shui Qianrou!
âQianrou... What are you doing here?â Luo Xuanqing was so surprised to see the young lady that the imposing disposition he carried a moment ago began withering away.
âJian Qinsheng is my teacher, so there shouldnât be any problem with me living in his residence, right?â Shui Qianrou harrumphed coldly. âLike I have told you before, I donât have the slightest bit of feelings for you. If you continue harassing me like this, Iâll have no choice but to call on my clan to deal with you!â
âI...â Luo Xuanqing was rendered speechless.
The truth was that when he boasted to Zhang Xuan back then that he had a beautiful girlfriend, he wasnât entirely lyingâit was just that his âbeautiful girlfriendâ of his hadnât accepted his confession yet!
And the âunbelievably beautiful girlfriendâ he had referred to then was none other than Shui Qianrou!
Luo Xuanqing was intending to say that he wasnât here for Shui Qianrou but Zhang Xuan, but the latterâs words triggered the intense feelings of indignance within him once more, and he exclaimed, âJust what kind of man do you like? I can always change if thereâs anything Iâm lacking in!â
Given the outstanding and dashing man he was, why didnât the other party like him? He simply couldnât understand it!
âWhat kind of man do I like?â Shui Qianrou harrumphed coldly. âThe man that I like must possess unparalleled talent in swordsmanship. He must possess utmost discerning eyes that are capable of seeing through and complementing all of my flaws, and more importantly, he must be able to impart to me profound swordsmanship...â
âImpart to you profound swordsmanship? It canât be that...â Luo Xuanqing suddenly widened his eyes as he shook his head in disbelief, hoping that everything was just his imagination.
âThatâs right, I like men who are like Zhang Xuan! As for you...â Shui Qianrou waved her hands disdainfully, âYou should just give it a rest!â
