Chapter 1397 The Real and Fake Steward (Part 1)

After a long while, Sun Qiang stopped, filled with reluctance.

It wasn't that he didn't want to continue experimenting, but the true energy the young master had left in his body was limited; he couldn't just use it for such trivial matters and needed to keep some for self-preservation.

Whoosh!

As he stopped, Master Zhan and the others flew up again, looking at the fat man before them with expressions of shock.

This method of testing required sealing one's cultivation, like the many ancestors who had passed away, using mental perception to sense. Under normal circumstances, as long as the one who left the blessing was not far stronger than them, they would at most feel admiration; making their bodies stiff and fall from the air was absolutely impossible!

But now, it had actually happened!

"What did you see?"

An elder shrank his neck and asked in a low voice.

"A silhouette, a towering silhouette that filled the heavens and earth, pervading everything... like the Heavenly Dao!"

Another elder said.

"What I saw was also..."

"Could it be that Master Yang has already reached such a level of strength?"

Swallowing their saliva at the same time, everyone drew in cold breaths.

What level of strength would one need to reach for the blessing they left behind to have such power?

"Master Yang has good relations with the ancestors of the three great families, especially the Zhang and Luo families... The reason for the marriage alliance was precisely because he served as the witness! His strength had already surpassed the Ninth Level of Saint Domain many years ago, reaching an unfathomable level! Moreover, he has profound insights into the soul and bloodline; calling him the foremost in the world is not an exaggeration."

Master Zhan slowly shook his head: "To make the Seal Master Hall become like this, with no power to resist... besides him, I really can't think of anyone else!"

The others knew little about this elusive supreme elder, but as the acting hall master of the Saint Son Hall, he knew quite a bit; his strength had already reached a realm he could not fathom.

Other than him, he truly couldn't think of anyone else who could make them fall from the air without any resistance.

"So... he really is Master Yang's steward?"

Elder Ge's body stiffened.

"It's almost certainly true!"

Master Zhan waved his hand, displeased: "Master Yang holds a revered status; as his steward, having some pride is perfectly normal. Otherwise, where would the dignity of a master teacher be? To question him and specifically bring him to the Seal Master Hall for testing... no wonder he's unhappy, turning the entire Seal Master Hall into this! Elder Ge, you caused this mess; think about how to apologize!"

Could the steward of someone like Master Yang be easily impersonated?

Anyone with a bit of common sense should understand how serious the crime of impersonation is. Yet you insisted on questioning him. Now look, the entire Seal Master Hall is destroyed, and the dignity of the Saint Son Hall, accumulated over tens of thousands of years, is ruined.

"Yes..."

With a bitter smile, Elder Ge gritted his teeth and walked up to Sun Qiang. The latter seemed to have realized his own 'strength,' standing with his hands behind his back, full of arrogance: "Well? Have you confirmed my identity?"

"Yes!"

Elder Ge nodded.

"Hmph, your student wanted to throw me out, and you even had me brought here. How are we going to handle this?"

Waving his hand grandly, Sun Qiang lifted his chin.

Fortunately, the young master had left a strand of true energy; otherwise, he would have been in an awkward situation today!

Of course, the young master's true energy couldn't be this powerful. In his view, the reason it had such an effect must be that the master had left some other means he didn't know about.

As the steward of the foremost person in the world, with a revered status, to be harassed by a small figure... the more he thought about it, the angrier he got!

"Steward Sun, Elder Ge's offense was due to ignorance..." Master Zhan hurried forward.

"I already told him who my master is... Not only did he not listen, but he also raised all kinds of doubts. I, Sun Qiang, have come all the way from Tianxuan Kingdom and have seen all kinds of storms, but this is the first time I've seen such an arrogant person!"

Sun Qiang sneered: "If everyone acted like this, where would Master Yang's dignity be? Where would the dignity of the Master Teacher Pavilion headquarters be?"

"This..." Master Zhan was full of distress.

Master teachers, although they didn't need to throw their weight around, as the actual rulers of the continent and leaders of humanity, they still needed status and dignity.

If everyone didn't respect teachers and revere the Way, and had no reverence, then the so-called dignity of the teacher would be meaningless.

"As for punishment, Steward Sun, just say the word. As long as I can do it, I will not refuse..."

Knowing that this time it was indeed his fault, and no one could shirk responsibility, Elder Ge gritted his teeth.

"You are a master teacher; I am just a steward. Although I work for the master, I am not qualified to punish you. Otherwise, he would surely blame me!"

Raising his eyelids, Sun Qiang waved his hand: "How about this: our young master just happens to need top-grade spirit stones. If you can find some, this matter will be dropped. Rest assured, I will give you equivalent items in exchange; I won't force a sale or extort!"

Having followed the young master, he had come into contact with higher and higher levels of master teachers and knew some of the rules.

Although he could rely on the master's prestige to gain respect and awe even from eight-star master teachers, he himself was not a master teacher and was not qualified to punish such a strong individual.

"That's simple..."

Hearing about an equivalent exchange for top-grade spirit stones, Elder Ge immediately breathed a sigh of relief. With a flick of his wrist, a jade box appeared in his palm: "These are five top-grade spirit stones, as an apology for my disciple's actions. Please accept them, Steward Sun. As for future transactions, just come to me directly. As long as the quantity doesn't exceed fifty, it should be manageable."

"You are very sensible!"

Taking the jade box, Sun Qiang nodded with satisfaction.

His purpose in coming out this time was precisely to obtain top-grade spirit stones. Not only did the other party give them as a gift, but he also offered to trade freely, which greatly satisfied him. At the same time, he marveled at the power of the master's reputation.

If not for the detection of the master's blessing, not only would he not have gotten the spirit stones, he might not even have been able to leave.

"Steward Sun, may I ask what level of strength Master Yang has reached and where he is?"

Seeing the conflict resolved, Master Zhan smiled and approached.

The silhouette they had seen, towering and filling the heavens and earth, was truly terrifying. Could it be that Master Yang had indeed reached such an unfathomable realm?

"Our master is always elusive; even I find it hard to see him. As for his specific strength, although I don't know, it is unfathomable... invincible!"

Speaking of the master, Sun Qiang's eyes shone brightly, full of excitement.

The master was not only powerful but also kind, filling him with admiration.

"Master Yang is indeed admirable..."

Master Zhan nodded and was about to speak when an elder, as if receiving a divine message, came to him with a strange expression.

"Master Zhan, someone outside wants to see you..."

"See me?"

Master Zhan frowned: "Who is it?"

As the acting hall master of the Saint Son Hall and a super-strong expert at the Ninth Level of Saint Domain, he couldn't just see anyone.

Glancing at Sun Qiang, the elder's mouth twitched, and he said with slight embarrassment: "He says he is... Master Yang's steward!"
