Chapter 520: Impossible to Defend Against

"I just came for a stroll, not following anyone!"

Understanding what was going on, Zhang Xuan shook his head.

"Just a stroll?" The young man was stunned.

Where was this?

This was Garden Master Xue's medicinal garden; even envoys from the Ten Nations Alliance found it difficult to enter. Just coming for a stroll... what a joke!

The moment this guy entered, he had seen the maidservant at the gate personally escort him in with a respectful attitude... a treatment even his grandfather had never received!

That was why he had come to make his acquaintance. Otherwise, as the heir of a renowned medicinal cultivation family, he wasn't so idle as to run over to just anyone he saw.

Sensing that the other party might not want to say more, the young man tactfully refrained from pressing further and smiled. "I am Lu Zhan, of the Lu family in Ten Nations City."

"Zhang Xuan!" Zhang Xuan nodded.

"So it's Brother Zhang. A pleasure!" Seeing that the other remained unmoved at the mention of the Lu family, Lu Zhan's expression turned serious as he quickly clasped his fists.

As a medicinal cultivation family and one of the four great clans of Ten Nations City, the Lu family's power and status were renowned throughout the alliance.

Even ordinary nobles and ministers would respectfully address him as Young Master Lu upon hearing his identity, yet this guy remained unfazed, clearly indicating an extraordinary background.

With this thought, his attitude became even more respectful.

However, if he knew that this person had never even heard of the Lu family, he might just spit blood and faint on the spot.

After chatting for a while longer, Lu Zhan found that this person indeed knew nothing about medicinal cultivation, leaving him even more puzzled.

Others were still guessing why Garden Master Xue had invited everyone, but as the heir of a medicinal cultivation family, he already knew the exact news.

This medicinal garden had many maidservants from their family, so gathering information was quite simple.

As everyone guessed, it was indeed a problem with the Earth Vein Spirit Vine!

Thus, everyone invited today was an expert in medicinal cultivation. This guy knew nothing, hadn't even heard of medicinal cultivators... what identity could he have to be invited by Garden Master Xue?

...

While they were chatting, Luo Qingyan and Song Chao also entered.

"Master Song, that's the guy who attacked me earlier!" Scanning the room, she quickly found the person who had made her gnash her teeth, and Luo Qingyan pointed.

Following her gaze, Song Chao saw a back view.

Zhang Xuan was chatting with Lu Zhan with his back to them. Song Chao only saw a back, which looked familiar, but he didn't think much of it.

No wonder; that Master Zhang was so familiar with Pavilion Master Sai of Honghai City. In his view, he should be from Honghai City. How could he be here, and coincidentally also come to the medicinal garden?

"That's him! Relying on his status as a master teacher, he struck me ruthlessly! I beg Master Song to seek justice for me. If you teach him a lesson, Qingyan... will do whatever you want!"

Luo Qingyan pressed her full, round bosom against him.

She knew what men liked, and with her assets, she had won many favors. Otherwise, how could a young woman like her have established a lucrative medicinal garden in Ten Nations City?

"Don't worry. Even if you hadn't said anything, I would teach such a disgrace to the Master Teacher Pavilion a lesson if I saw him."

Feeling the astonishing elasticity on his arm, Song Chao nodded in agreement, speaking with righteous indignation.

Although he knew she was using him for revenge, upholding the dignity of the Master Teacher Pavilion was every master teacher's duty, especially with such a beauty's attitude!

Following the seductive figure, they soon arrived before Zhang Xuan and the others.

"We meet again!"

Knowing that this four-star Master Song would surely vent her anger for her, Luo Qingyan no longer held back and sneered as she approached.

Zhang Xuan turned around, blinked in surprise, and looked puzzled. "Don't you have an invitation? How did you get in?"

"You..."

Hearing this, Luo Qingyan nearly spat blood in anger.

How dare he say I don't have an invitation...

You stole it, didn't you?

"I came with Master Song!"

Suppressing her fury, Luo Qingyan turned to the young man beside her. "It's this Master Zhang who, disregarding the dignity of a master teacher, had his beast pet attack me. I beg Master Song to seek justice for me!"

After saying this, seeing the young man not moving, she was about to fan the flames when she heard the voice of that Master Zhang: "Master Song? Oh, it's little Song!"

"Little Song?"

Luo Qingyan was stunned, then overjoyed.

This man was a super genius among four-star master teachers and a strong cultivator from a sect!

Even the elders of the Ten Nations City Master Teacher Pavilion would treat him as an equal. And this guy, not even twenty, directly calling him 'little Song'...

She had been thinking of how to add fuel to the fire, but now it seemed unnecessary. He was digging his own grave!

Not only her, but Lu Zhan, who was speculating about Zhang Xuan's identity, also trembled, nearly fainting.

This Master Song had four stars shining brightly on his chest, clearly a four-star master teacher. Calling him 'little Song' like a junior, a mere brat...

He quickly looked at Master Song, hoping he wouldn't lose his temper on the spot, only to see the super genius with four stars looking twisted, as if about to cry.

"Your student Song Chao pays respects to Master Zhang!"

At this moment, his heart was also collapsing.

Another four-star master teacher might have questioned, but facing this guy... he really didn't dare.

Having been bewitched by Shiyan Tianshou twice, and having all his assets drained... he had already experienced the other's methods. Seeing this person, not turning and running was already a great courtesy.

Teach him a lesson? He wouldn't dare even with ten times the courage!

"Master Song, he is being rude to you, you... gah?"

Just as she was imagining this guy being beaten up by Master Song and planning to suggest a few methods, she heard this and froze on the spot.

What did 'your student' mean?

It meant shallow knowledge!

It was a term used by juniors when addressing someone more powerful. This super genius, a dignified four-star master teacher, used such a term?

Could it be... this Master Zhang, though young, was even more formidable than Master Song?

Was there a mistake?

Luo Qingyan was about to cry.

She had thought that by attaching herself to the big shot Master Song, she could definitely teach this guy a lesson, show off, and avenge her shame. Who knew... his background was even greater!

Trying to slap his face, she got slapped instead...

What kind of mess was this!

Lu Zhan's mouth hung open, his eyes wider than a goldfish's.

He had been guessing this person's identity, even considering the Alliance Lord's mansion, but never dreamed he was a master teacher... and one who made a four-star master teacher willingly call himself 'your student'!

Too terrifying!

No wonder the maidservant escorted him in; such a person indeed had that kind of capital!

"Little Song, are you going to seek justice for her?" Ignoring their shock, Zhang Xuan looked over.

Seeing this guy, he was also a bit puzzled, but then understood.

In the treatment method he had given, some herbs needed to be fresh and could only be bought at the medicinal garden. Probably, he had come for some medicine.

"No, no... I just met her by chance. I'm not familiar with her..."

Song Chao smiled awkwardly.

Having been hit by the other's Shiyan Tianshou twice, he knew this person was definitely a much more accomplished master teacher than himself. How could he still put on airs?

"You're not familiar?" Zhang Xuan pointed.

Song Chao then noticed that Luo Qingyan's full, rounded protrusion was still pressed against his arm, changing shape under pressure.

"We really aren't familiar..."

Startled, Song Chao shook his arm, pushing her away.

The plumpness that had felt so pleasurable now felt like needles, pricking him to the point of tears.

"Master Song..."

Stumbling back, Luo Qingyan finally realized that the arrogant Master Song was not only respectful to this Master Zhang but actually afraid!

What could make a four-star master teacher afraid?

What identity was this?

Frightened, she shrank her neck and quietly retreated. If she had thought of revenge before, now she wouldn't dare even in her dreams.

She had been foolish enough to provoke such a person; not being killed on the spot was already magnanimous.

"If you're not familiar, then fine. No need to make a big deal."

Ignoring Luo Qingyan, who was about to flee, Zhang Xuan waved his hand. Suddenly remembering something, his eyes lit up as he looked at Song Chao. "Oh, by the way, do you still want the Soul-less Golden Men?"

Earlier at the Witch Soul Tomb, he had Sun Qiang collect four refined gold seventh-grade coffins, one empty and the other three containing Soul-less Golden Men. Since these things were useless to him, and he had run into this spendthrift again, he thought of selling them.

"Soul-less Golden Men... Master Zhang still has them?"

Song Chao was startled.

"I still have three, stored in refined gold seventh-grade coffins. If you want to buy, including the coffins, I'll give you a discount: five mid-grade spirit stones each." Zhang Xuan said.

Previously, just one corpse had sold for forty thousand low-grade spirit stones. Adding the coffin and selling for only five mid-grade was indeed a discount.

"Five?" Song Chao's mouth twitched. "I don't have that many mid-grade spirit stones..."

His entire assets had been drained buying one Soul-less Golden Man. Although returning to Ten Nations City and meeting the sect elder had compensated for the loss, they were all low-grade spirit stones. Searching his whole body, he only had one mid-grade spirit stone!

It was even a reward from the elder for that matter!

"Not that many? How many do you have?" Zhang Xuan looked at him.

"Only one..." Song Chao answered truthfully.

"One is fine. I'll sell you a refined gold seventh-grade coffin. This thing can only be made by a four-star artifact refiner. Sleeping in it is comfortable in all seasons! Most importantly, it matches the Soul-less Golden Man I sold you before. Studying them together will surely bring breakthroughs in the path of Witch Soul!"

Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist and handed over a storage ring.

These things were no longer valuable to him; he had several rings on him. This one contained the empty coffin that Luo Zhu had used to steal the Soul-less Golden Man.

He had learned a lot about Witch Soul techniques from Mo Hunsheng. Keeping this thing was of little use; selling it was best.

"Refined gold seventh-grade coffin?" Taking the ring, Song Chao bonded it, scanned it with his spirit, and his eyes lit up.

It was indeed carved with many special symbols unique to Witch Soul masters. If studied together with the previous Soul-less Golden Man, it could indeed deepen his understanding of Witch Soul.

"Alright, I'll buy it. Here are the spirit stones."

Saying this, he flipped his hand and handed over a jade box.

"Mm." Taking the jade box, Zhang Xuan opened it a crack and immediately felt a dense spiritual energy wafting out. Knowing it contained a mid-grade spirit stone, he nodded in satisfaction and put it into his ring.

"I still have three identical Soul-less Golden Men here, and even higher-grade red gold coffins. If you want to buy more, bring enough mid-grade spirit stones and come to me. You're always welcome!"

Having obtained a mid-grade spirit stone, Zhang Xuan looked at Song Chao with satisfaction, like a stack of mobile money bags.

This guy was indeed rich; twice in a row, he had earned a lot.

As expected of a sect disciple—rich and gullible.

"Yes! I will report to the sect. If there's further need, I'll come to you!"

Nodding, Song Chao turned and walked a few steps, then suddenly froze, his face darkening as tears streamed down.

"I... was bewitched again..."

He had been so careful, yet he fell for it again...

Impossible to defend against!
