Chapter 153: Chapter 15 I’m Late [Combined Version]_3
Knowing that the other party harbored ill intentions, he still rushed over without hesitation.
This time, he was a true teacher, truly putting his student first.
Ling Buyang hadn’t expected him to appear so abruptly and couldn’t help but be momentarily stunned, frowning as he looked over at the young man before him.
About twenty-four or twenty-five years old, tall, with a profound gaze, it was impossible to ascertain his cultivation level, but every move he made gave off a sense of immeasurable depth, especially the chubby man following him, who was holding a rein in one hand and the other hand resting behind his back, looking at them as if viewing a bunch of ants.
That indifferent look in his eyes was definitely not feigned but a genuine disdain, not considering them worth his attention.
Puzzled in his heart, his soul power spread out stealthily towards this chubby man, and in an instant, the other’s cultivation level was openly revealed before him.
“Accumulative Realm pinnacle?”
A corner of his mouth twitched.
He thought it might be a high cultivation level, but it turned out to be just the pinnacle of the Thirdfold of Source Pool Accumulative Realm, his total strength amounting to no more than 5 horsepower… And he still showed such disdain?
Is this some kind of joke?
Knowing what Liu Tianzheng had said was correct, this Zhang Xuan probably didn’t have high strength either, and at once, he felt no fear, his eyes narrowing as he looked over, “So, you are Zhang Xuan… ”
Before he could finish speaking, the chubby man he had looked down upon raised his eyebrows and shouted, “Audacity! Who are you to directly address our young master by his name?”
“???”
Ling Buyang was startled.
You, a mere being at the Accumulative Phase, where do you get the courage to speak to me like this?
Not only was his expression like this, but Xu Xin, Liu Tianzheng, and others were utterly dumbfounded, too.
They had previously met this steward, whose cultivation was low and who was greedy for money. They thought he was just a cannon fodder character and could never have imagined that he would dare to boldly scold someone like Lord Ling, whom they revered…
“What did you say?”
Ling Buyang’s expression darkened.
“I said you are being audacious, are you deaf?”
Sun Qiang, with a grand gesture, spoke arrogantly, “Our young master has come to Baiyan City to cultivate in peace and didn’t want to reveal his identity. Yet, you, this fool, wrongly accuse him of being a Mandate Chaos Master. You really have a big gall!”
“Young master? Cultivate?”
Ling Buyang frowned.
He had read the notes recorded by Liu Tianzheng. This Zhang Xuan was just a coachman of the Mo Family and had only become a teacher at Baiyan Academy a few days ago… How could it be both a young master and a cultivation trial?
With doubts in his mind, he looked closely at the chubby man, whose cultivation indeed wasn’t high. Yet, facing him, a Dharma Form Realm powerhouse, without a trace of fear, and even with a look as if viewing a fool, suggested an exceedingly high status was behind such composure.
Could it be… he actually was some young master?
Thinking about it, it became quite possible.
After all, to claim to have been cultivating for four days without even unlocking the Source Pool, achieving a level comparable to the Jade Bone Realm… was indeed too incredible.
If he already had cultivation before and the so-called cultivation was all a disguise, it would make sense!
“Indeed!”
Sun Qiang snorted coldly.
The reason he spoke up and said these things was naturally at Zhang Xuan’s instruction.
Some things coming from him would have a better effect than coming from the young master. Also, when the other party used their Soul Power to force Yu Xiaoyu, the young master had specifically used the Library of Heaven’s Path to check and shared some of the content he saw in detail with him.
Unless something unexpected occurred, they should be able to keep the other party fooled for the time being.
This was also the effect the young master desired.
Knowing his steward liked to boast, even if the other party was powerful, it wouldn’t be a big problem. Zhang Xuan, uninterested in speaking up, dismounted and walked over to Yu Xiaoyu and the others, “How are you guys?”
“Teacher, we’re fine…” Yu Xiaoyu hurriedly shook her head.
Liu Mingyue was full of pride and excitement, “Teacher, I, Liu Mingyue, didn’t let you down…”
“You guys did very well!”
After checking their pulses and sensing, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn’t know if it was because of Lord City Yu and Liu Tianzheng’s faces, but although they seemed severely injured, their internal injuries were not severe.
Seeing the young master dismount, Sun Qiang also jumped down, remembering his teachings, he looked at Ling Buyang with a cold snort, “You better pray that the young lady and the others are alright, otherwise, there’s no need for the Mo Dao Sect to exist…”
“…”
Ling Buyang’s eyelids twitched, and although he initially wanted to make a move, he involuntarily stopped.
The other party actually knew about the Mo Dao Sect?
Most crucially… They seemed utterly indifferent about their Heaven Mandate Profession, giving the impression, with just a flick, they could be extinguished… If what was said was true and not mere boasting, how terrifying would that identity be?
Could it be that he really made a mistake, and this Zhang Xuan wasn’t a Mandate Chaos Master but a great family’s young master here for a trial?
Others might not know, but as a Destiny Master from Han Yuan Imperial Capital, he was privy to some secrets.
Some ancient and mysterious Heaven Mandate Families, to prevent their direct descendants from being targeted because of “Unique Destiny,” would have them live incognito…
Could it be such a coincidence that he happened to encounter one…
Doubts in his mind, he couldn’t help but ask, “You know about our Mo Dao Destiny?”
Sun Qiang looked indifferent, “Of course, I not only know about these but also know your biggest secret!”
Startled for a moment, Ling Buyang let out a scoff, “Sir, you jest, what secret could I possibly have!”
“Oh, you don’t believe?”
Sun Qiang looked over, showing a faint, playful cold smile, “You surely don’t want me to speak it out loud here, do you?”
“If you think spouting nonsense can win others over, you are probably mistaken!”
Ling Buyang made a grand gesture.
