Chapter 1554: The Master Teacher Hall Apologizes (Part 1)

"Senior Brother?"

Elder Qu staggered as if struck by lightning.

What was going on?

Yang Shi was not only the strongest in the entire Master Teacher Hall headquarters but also the highest in seniority. Even he had to address him as Uncle-Master. Moreover, Yang Shi valued rules greatly. In Elder Qu's view, once he heard that someone had impersonated him, he would surely fly into a rage and give a severe lesson...

He never dreamed that upon arriving, Yang Shi would directly bow and address him as "Senior Brother"!

If he was your senior brother, then wouldn't I... also be a generation lower?

Not only him, but Ren Qingyuan also nearly stumbled and felt like crying.

That his disciple was the Hall Master of the War Master Hall, the Palace Master of the Icefield Palace, the Hall Master of the Poison Hall, the President of the Spirit Awakener Guild... all that he could accept. That he himself was the head of the Zhang family, he could barely accept... But Yang Shi calling him senior brother—what was that about?

Since when did the person with the highest seniority in the Master Teacher Hall become your junior brother?

If so, wouldn't that mean all master teachers on the continent were your juniors?

A mouthful of blood held in his mouth, ready to spit out at any moment, Ren Qingyuan felt so stifled he was about to explode.

Having been acting hall master for centuries, he had seen countless geniuses and experts, but this was the first time he had encountered such a thing...

He had originally thought that by rushing over and capturing him, regardless of punishment, he could first extract the secret of his rapid advancement. But in the end, he was half-dead from the blows, and in the blink of an eye, he had become his own uncle or grand-uncle in seniority...

A twenty-year-old uncle... how surreal was that?

"..."

Xing Jian Sheng and Meng Jian Sheng exchanged glances and swallowed their saliva.

They had thought that the most shocking thing about this newly acknowledged son was his strength. Now it seemed that was nothing... becoming Yang Shi's senior brother was the truly mind-blowing part!

If that was the case, wouldn't they become Yang Shi's uncle generation?

Ignoring everyone's shock, Zhang Xuan looked at Sun Qiang behind Yang Shi and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing him appear safe and sound, it seemed nothing had gone wrong.

"Young master, I thought I would never see you again..."

Seeing him, Sun Qiang hurried forward, weeping bitterly.

The past day or so had probably been the most terrifying period of his life.

Hearing Yang Shi personally say that he was not his master, he finally understood that he had been living in a lie all along. His confidence instantly collapsed, and he nearly broke down.

In a daze, he was brought to the Master Teacher Hall headquarters. Under the guidance of many nine-star master teachers, he went berserk and thought he would surely die. Unexpectedly, Yang Shi returned.

This time, Yang Shi's attitude was countless times more amiable than before, without any of his former威严. He directly told him... he had made a mistake; it turned out that the young master was his senior brother...

Instantly, he went from the bottom back to the top. Life's ups and downs... were truly thrilling.

If not for being in the Master Teacher Hall, he would have suspected he had seen a fake Yang Shi.

"Train hard from now on!"

Seeing this fool seemed to have gained a bit more weight, Zhang Xuan ignored his excitement and waved his hand.

"Yes..." Sun Qiang quickly nodded.

"Zheng Yang, Sun Qiang is in your hands for now. If he doesn't obey, use the War Master Hall's torture instruments to temper him well!" Zhang Xuan turned and instructed.

"Yes, Teacher!" Zheng Yang cupped his fists and grinned: "Uncle Sun, please!"

Hearing about training, Sun Qiang immediately lost his earlier excitement and became listless, looking as if he had lost his parents.

"Thank you for the trouble, Junior Brother."

After arranging Sun Qiang, Zhang Xuan said politely.

"Not at all. It is my honor to serve Senior Brother..." Yang Shi quickly nodded.

"..."

Seeing the world's number one person being so courteous, Xing and Meng, the two sword sages, were once again shocked.

"You're too kind."

Knowing that the other knew he was a Heaven-acknowledged master teacher, no amount of courtesy or attitude was too much. Zhang Xuan didn't say much and gave a look, signaling him to keep a low profile.

Yang Shi then came to his senses, his old face reddening. His eyes fell on Zhao Ya, full of disbelief, and he exclaimed in wonder: "Senior Brother truly has divine methods. In such a short time, Miss Zhao has already recovered completely, and her cultivation has even advanced..."

He had personally examined Zhao Ya's condition. All her meridians were shattered. With his ability, it was almost impossible to cure her. Yet his senior brother had restored her to her original state in just over an hour... Truly worthy of being a Heaven-acknowledged master teacher, possessing such incredible means!

Hearing his exclamation, Zhang Xuan didn't say much. He then remembered Ren Qingyuan's earlier question and turned to look at him: "Hall Master Ren, it's not that I don't want to return the Hall Master Token, but..."

Just as he was about to say that the item had already been refined by him, he heard Yang Shi speak from the side: "The Hall Master Token is something I asked Senior Brother to hold onto for now. Ren Qingyuan, this time you acted rashly without distinguishing right from wrong, causing the Master Teacher Hall to fall into public controversy. That itself is a great fault. Continuing to hold it would only harm the prestige of the Master Teacher Hall. Let Senior Brother keep it temporarily. With his strength and status, he will not let the Hall Master Token be damaged!"

"Yes..."

Not daring to say more, Ren Qingyuan could only shake his head and summon the elders: "Let's go!"

They had come with great fanfare, only to return with such a result.

"Hold on!"

After only a few steps, they saw the War Master Hall's people surrounding them.

"What does War Master mean?"

Ren Qingyuan turned to look.

"Nothing much! Your matter is settled, but my teacher's matter is not! You falsely accused my teacher, issued a warrant for his arrest, and even attempted to kill him. If we hadn't arrived in time, you would have succeeded! You tarnished my teacher's reputation and status, and tried to kill him... Do you think you can just walk away like that?"

Raising his eyelids, Zheng Yang's spear hummed with a mournful cry.

"Teacher is benevolent and let your Master Teacher Hall people go, but that doesn't mean we are easy to deal with. If you don't give an explanation today, stay here!" Wei Ruyan also stepped forward, her body boiling with poison.

The three major forces had reconciled with Zhang Xuan, and the Master Teacher Hall was no longer pursuing the matter. But you, as the Master Teacher Hall, the model of the continent, falsely accused someone of being innocent and wanted to leave without an explanation—how could that be so easy!

They didn't want their teacher to continue bearing others' blame.

Since they were here to seek justice for their teacher, they would fight until the other side was afraid. Otherwise, if it didn't hurt, what if they did it again?

Whoosh!

With their words, Zhao Ya, Wang Ying, Lu Chong, and the others also surrounded them again, their auras soaring as if they would cut down the Master Teacher Hall if they weren't satisfied.

"This..."

His face twitching, Ren Qingyuan's body trembled, but he couldn't speak.

The Master Teacher Hall headquarters, which governed the continent, when had it ever been pushed to such a state!

"What do you want?"

A nine-star master teacher could no longer hold back and asked loudly.

"Nothing much. Apologize! And circulate the apology to all Master Teacher Halls on the continent! Also, compensate with tens of millions of top-grade spirit stones or something, and this matter will be over..."

Yuan Tao said.
