Chapter 73 - Cao Xiong's Counterattack

“Xiao Yu is here too?”

Bai Xun’s eyes lit up.

Right after Master Lu Chen tasked them to study under Zhang Xuan yesterday, he rushed here early in the morning. If so, how could Xiao Yu lag behind him!

In the midst of his words, an elegant figure walked through the doors. Her light yellow top brought out her slim and delicate figure perfectly. Her skin was as white as snow and she didn’t pale in comparison even to Shen Bi Ru.

“Paying respects to Zhang laoshi!”

The moment she entered the room, she headed toward Zhang Xuan and bowed deeply.

“Un!” Knowing that the other party was here for the same motive as Bai Xun, Zhang Xuan’s head hurt and he rubbed his glabella.

Glabella -> Center of eyebrows

Actually, he knew nothing about painting at all and all he could do was to point out the flaws in them! He didn’t even know where he should start from to teach them about painting.

“Paying respect to young mistress!”

Just as he was conflicted over how he should confess this to the other party, Elder Mo walked forward and courteously, he clasped his hands and greets Huang Yu.

“Young mistress?” A thought seemed to have flashed through Elder Shang Chen’s mind, causing a feeling of weakness to grasp his legs, resulting in him stumbling backward. With a face devoid of color, he asked, “Could she be… Could she be the daughter of guild leader Huang of the Teacher Guild, the… genius who managed to become a low-level Associate Master Teacher despite not even reaching her twenties?”

Just a moment ago, he was still chatting with Elder Mo about the genius in the Teacher Guild who became a low-level associate master teacher at a young age, and he was thinking about how she was even more incredible than an old man like him. Never in his dreams did he expect her to be this Huang Yu xiaojie and from the looks of it… She seemed to be close with Zhang Xuan!

Xiaojie -> Miss/ Young Mistress

[Heavens, what is going on?]

The moment when he accused the other party of being incapable of imparting knowledge to nurture others, the Wang clan sent their son over to him, even withdrawing him from his tutelage to do so! The moment when he said that the other party was lacking in strength, Bai xiao wangye ran out to verify the strength of the other party, claiming that he himself wasn’t a match for him! The moment when he said that only a master teacher and an associate master teacher could revoke Cao Xiong’s teaching license, an associate master teacher came running over…

[The heck… Zhang Xuan, the heavens must have specially sent you here to deal with me!]

Elder Shang Chen only felt disconsolate and even suicidal thoughts ran through his head.

Cao Xiong, who was still arrogant a moment ago, paled in fright and cowered backward.

A moment ago, he was at least reassured by the fact that the other party would be unable to revoke his teaching license, however, at this instant, he was truly frightened.

“Isn’t he just a trash who scored zero in the Teacher Qualification Examination? Why does he know so many people? Why do they all respect him? I will not accept this…”

Cao Xiong gritted his teeth and howled frenziedly in his mind.

Before today, the other party meant nothing in his eyes. He wasn’t even qualified to compete with him, yet now… The other party had already become a tall mountain that he could only look up towards.

“He… He…” Shang Bin’s teeth were also clattering.

At this moment, Zhang Xuan seemed to have transformed from an ant whom he could crush whenever he pleased into a giant dinosaur.

Such a transformation was beyond his wildest imagination!

“You are an associate master teacher?”

Hearing Shang Chen’s astonishing words, Zhang Xuan looked at the lady in uncertainty.

This lass was even younger than him. For her to be an associate master teacher, it was indeed true that one should not judge a person by their appearance.

“I just happen to catch Liu shi‘s eyes, and he brought me in to assist him!” Huang Yu smiled. Her words might be humble, but self-confidence radiated clearly from her eyes.

Shi -> Somewhat a shorter version of laoshi

To become an assistant master teacher, first and foremost, one needed to have talents surpassing others. Secondly, one needed to be granted an opportunity!

Even if you possessed overwhelming talent and your ability to guide your students and impart knowledge was incredible, if you were unable to gain the recognition of a master teacher, it was all just empty talk.

Huang Yu, as the daughter of Tianxuan Kingdom Teacher Guild’s head, she had the privilege of going through a good education from young. Furthermore, given the contacts her father possessed, becoming an associate master teacher wasn’t beyond expectations.

“It is great that you are an Associate Master Teacher. This Cao Xiong laoshi has lost to me in an Enlightenment Will Trial and he refuses to fulfill his end of the bet…”

Previously, Elder Mo had said that Cao Xiong laoshi‘s teaching license could be revoked if an associate master teacher spoke up for the case. Against those who were out against him, Zhang Xuan would not let them off the hook so easily.

“To think that there would be such a matter!” Huang Yu frowned. “As a teacher, to hold grudges over such a minor affair, even resorting to using the Enlightenment Will Trial to frame your colleagues, he will only soil the name of teachers if he were to remain as one. Elder Mo!”

Elder Mo stepped forward.

“I believe that he doesn’t have the qualifications to be a teacher. Go and settle the procedures required for it now!” Huang Yu said authoritatively.

“Yes!” Elder Mo nodded his head. Turning to look at Cao Xiong, he shook his head.

As an associate master teacher, Huang Yu was of esteemed position, not to mention that she was the daughter of the guild leader as well. With just a few words, she had sealed Cao laoshi‘s fate.

Those who possessed the identity of a teacher were respected no matter where they went. If a teacher was stripped of their teaching license, that could only mean that there was a problem with his conduct. With such a track record, no one would employ him no matter where he went.

“I…”

Hearing the verdict, Cao Xiong collapsed onto the floor, his ashen face shrouded in despair.

He had spent so much effort just to attain this teaching license. To think that… it would be revoked just like that!

Just because he challenged a trash who scored a zero in the Teacher Qualification Examination?

[I won’t accept this, I refuse to accept this!]

“Right…” Cao Xiong stood up once more. He looked at Zhang Xuan savagely, “Zhang Xuan, you haven’t won yet! You scored a zero in the Teacher Qualification Examination and caused a student’s cultivation to go berserk. As long as this matter is reported to the Teacher Guild, after a thorough investigation, you will be stripped of your teaching license as well!”

Zhang Xuan might have scored a zero in the Teacher Qualification Examination, but that was actually an internal examination within Hongtian Academy and wasn’t authoritative. Even so, if the matter was reported upwards to the Teacher Guild, and once the matter was proven to be true, he could be stripped of his teaching license because of it as well!

Furthermore, he had a case of a student’s cultivation going berserk under his records.

Just this itself crossed the bottom limits of a teacher!

“That’s right, Zhang Xuan, you need not be gleeful over this! You might have gotten Cao laoshi‘s teaching license revoked, but you won’t keep yours for long either! I will report this matter up to the Teacher Guild right now and have them carry out an impartial adjudication on the matter!”

Upon hearing Cao Xiong’s angry roar, Shang Bin’s eyes lit up and flames started to burn in them once more.

The relationship between him and Zhang Xuan had already torn asunder. Now that the other party was proven to possess a strong backing, he probably wouldn’t be able to live in peace in the academy anymore with him here. Thus, he could not allow Zhang Xuan off the hook!

Furthermore… Even the goddess was speaking up for him now. If he allowed himself to be beaten without making a move, how could he lift his head in the future?

Shang Bin glared at Zhang Xuan as cold intent emanated from his gaze.

[Aren’t you incredible?

Liu Yang’s trust level in you exceed 60? The Wang clan urges you to accept Wang Tao?

Things might be going well for you now, but let’s see how you will fare after you lose your teaching license!

Let’s see what rights do you have to remain in Hongtian Academy and what rights do you have to teach your students!]

“Zhang Xuan laoshi‘s capabilities and morals are indeed doubtful. Associate Master Teacher Huang Yu, Elder Mo, the words that the both of them speak of are true. This Zhang laoshi has driven the cultivation of a student berserk, and he has scored a zero in the previous Teacher Qualification Examination as well. I hope that the guild can handle this matter impartially and rid the academy of this cancerous tumor!”

In an instant, Elder Shang Chen regained the glow on his face. With a straightened and dignified stature, he spoke.

He might not be able to save Cao Xiong, but he would not allow Zhang Xuan to get away scot-free either!
