Chapter 1421: Identity Leaked

"A suitor..."

Zhang Xuan was struck dumb.

He had thought it was merely a dispute over swordsmanship, but it turned out to involve matters of the heart.

On second thought, it made sense.

Only such feelings could persist for years without fading. For instance, if he truly married Luo Ruoxi, that little genius of the Zhang family would surely be driven to challenge him madly, for decades or centuries, never giving up!

In cultivating the sword path, achieving unity of man and sword, one already harbors a special obsession. Without it... how can one be utterly pure and spotless?

"Indeed, to be honest, Jian Qinsheng is persistent enough; he hasn't married even now... Enough, let's not talk about them. Your going to the Zhang family is indeed very important..."

Luo Xuanqing's face was full of conflict.

Killing his sister's beloved was imperative, but the other matter could not be delayed either.

Because of his sister, humiliating the Zhang family had always been something he tirelessly strove to do.

"Yes, so I'm truly sorry, but I have to decline..."

Zhang Xuan nodded, then looked over again, his eyes carrying inquiry: "Is the decision to kill that person the will of your Luo family, or the Zhang family?"

"What difference does it make? If we don't act, the Zhang family will do it anyway. Rather than being passive, it's better to strike first..."

Luo Xuanqing shook his head.

Ever since his sister admitted she had someone she liked, that low-ranked master teacher was doomed.

Neither the Zhang family nor the Luo family would let him off.

"The Zhang family..."

His eyes narrowed, Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth.

And they called themselves the number one family in the continent... utterly shameless!

Forcibly marrying someone was bad enough, but they also wanted to kill—this was lawlessness to the extreme.

"I hope you can keep this secret and not spread it around!"

Since the other party had refused, Luo Xuanqing no longer pressed, saying.

"Rest assured, my lips are sealed!"

Zhang Xuan nodded and looked over: "Actually, I think it's best to discuss this matter with the little princess before making a decision. Otherwise, I'm afraid... your sibling relationship might become strained."

"Mm!"

After a moment's hesitation, Luo Xuanqing nodded: "I'll consider it..."

The main issue was that his sister was currently confined and couldn't be contacted; otherwise, he would certainly find a way.

"I'll take my leave then!"

Without saying more, Zhang Xuan leaped into the air and flew straight toward Jian Qinsheng's residence.

Seeing him leave, Luo Xuanqing shook his head and also left the courtyard, but instead of returning to his quarters, he went to the Message Hall.

"I want to look up a Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy within the Qingyuan Empire."

Approaching the counter, he gave the order.

The Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy was just a small place under the Qingyuan Empire, which he hadn't paid attention to before. Now that Zhang Shi wouldn't act, he would have to do it himself.

"Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy? Young Master Luo, please wait a moment; I'll go check right away."

The attendant was a girl in her twenties, who recognized his identity and didn't dare to be negligent. She hurried into a room and after a short while, came back with a book.

As long as one was a master teacher, various information had to be reported to headquarters. The Saint Son Hall, as a subordinate unit, could also retrieve a lot of information if queried.

"The Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy is within the territory of the Hongyuan First-Class Empire under the Qingyuan Empire. Its strongest member is at most the peak of Saint Realm One..."

The girl said.

"Peak of Saint Realm One?"

Luo Xuanqing's face twitched.

His sister's taste was truly too poor.

The strongest in this academy was only at that level. What charm did that person have to earn her favor, even to the point of opposing the family and the Zhang family?

"This is just the lowest-level master teacher academy, training at most five-star master teachers. The low level is normal..." the girl smiled.

"Where exactly is it? Do you have detailed information here?" Luo Xuanqing asked.

"Of course. Here is a map. It's over a million kilometers away; a Saint Realm Eight sacred beast would take about half a month to fly there." Opening the book, she took out a map, calculated for a moment, and said.

"Half a month? Not too far..."

Luo Xuanqing breathed a sigh of relief.

From the Saint Son Hall to the Luo family, even a Saint Realm Nine sacred beast would take over a month to fly. This place, only half a month for an Eighth Realm beast, wasn't too far.

It seemed that as long as he moved quickly, he could find and kill that person before the Zhang family acted.

After studying the map for a while and fully memorizing its contents, Luo Xuanqing relaxed. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and turned around: "Do you have more detailed information about the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy here? For example... which master teachers have become famous in recent years?"

For his sister to like and hold in high esteem, even if that person's strength and master teacher rank were low, his talent must be good!

Even in a place like Hongyuan Academy, such a person should shine like a pearl, attracting countless people's attention.

"More detailed information? That requires elder-level authority to access. Young Master Luo, if you're not in a hurry, I'll go invite an elder over..."

The girl paused, then said.

She was just a service attendant at the Message Hall; only elders had the authority to access such detailed information. She didn't have that permission.

Luo Xuanqing nodded.

If he could find out who his sister liked here and prepare in advance, he wouldn't have to travel so far.

After waiting less than half an hour, an elder came over following behind.

Whether it was his reputation as the Destroyer King or his own status, Luo Xuanqing made these ordinary managing elders dare not be negligent.

"In reply to Young Master Luo, I've checked all the famous master teachers at Hongyuan Academy recently, and there is indeed one with a great reputation!"

Coming up to him, the elder took out a book, slowly opened it, and said.

"Great reputation? Tell me about it!"

His eyes lit up, and he quickly looked over.

"This master teacher rose to fame about half a year ago, coming step by step from a small kingdom. He has twice challenged the Master Teacher Pavilion and succeeded both times, foiled the schemes of the Otherworldly Tribe, personally killed ten Otherworldly Tribe kings, and even directly killed a sovereign, earning countless merits!"

"He also elevated a kingdom to an empire, educated countless talented students... and became the academy's principal!"

The elder introduced.

"It must be this person..."

His eyes immediately narrowed, and Luo Xuanqing clenched his fists.

Successfully challenging the Pavilion had only been accomplished by their ancestor. That this person could do it showed his talent, matching his sister's description.

Without a doubt, this should be the one his sister liked!

"What is his name? Is he still at Hongyuan Academy now?"

He couldn't help but look over.

"Well... we don't have the authority to check his exact whereabouts, and even if we did, the information would be from months ago and not accurate. However, we can find out his name..."

Shaking his head with a wry smile, the elder continued flipping through the book, looked carefully, and frowned: "This master teacher's name is..."

"Zhang Xuan!"
