Chapter 792: It's Yours!

Is there something wrong with this Cloud-Mist Flower?

Walking out of the side courtyard, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but glance at Wei Changfeng not far away.

That fellow had refused to sell at first, but suddenly changed his mind and sold it at such a low price, which struck him as very strange.

There's nothing wrong with it; it's just a bit hard to gather. Rest assured, young master, I will definitely find this item and save my daughter! Wei Changfeng smiled, his face filled with determination.

Is it really that simple? Zhang Xuan found it hard to believe.

This Vice Dean You clearly seemed like a difficult person to deal with. Could he really be so willing to exchange the Ten-Leaf Flower, which he had refused to sell at any cost just moments ago, for a single tea leaf?

Young master, don't worry. It's just a bit troublesome; there won't be any major problems.

Wei Changfeng said.

Saving his daughter was his own affair; he couldn't let the young master take risks as well.

Although he had been shut outside and didn't know what had happened in the room, the fact that the young master had taken a six-star Minor Rejuvenation Pill to recover indicated that his loss was terrifyingly great.

The young master had already done so much to save his daughter; how could he let him worry further?

It's best if there are no problems. If it really becomes too difficult, let me know in advance. Although I'm not as strong as you, I still have many tricks up my sleeve.

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to say more, Zhang Xuan gave a reminder.

Thank you, young master!

Wei Changfeng nodded. Cloud-Mist Ridge is still some distance from here. Two days is a bit tight, so I need to prepare first. I'll take my leave now!

Mm, go ahead! Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

Although he found it a bit strange, thinking that Wei Changfeng was a Saint realm expert and, as the head of the Spirit Materials Pavilion, had seen all kinds of situations, he decided not to dwell on it.

Whoosh!

After taking leave of Zhang Xuan, Wei Changfeng did not linger. He moved his body and flew into the sky, disappearing from sight in moments.

Saint realm experts flew extremely fast; without needing a flying spirit beast, they could travel ten thousand li in a day.

Alright, I should head back too.

Seeing him leave, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately felt a wave of fatigue wash over his mind.

From meeting Hu Yaoyao, reading the Swan Goose Scripture, various cultivation sessions, establishing the society, and treating Wei Ruyan, a series of events had kept him awake for nearly two days and two nights.

Now utterly exhausted, he left the Physician Academy and headed straight for his residence in the elite district.

Just as he pushed open the door and stepped into the courtyard, he saw Luo Qiqi approaching excitedly. Teacher!

While Zhang Xuan was unconscious, she had specially obtained a key to his place to take care of him, making it convenient for her to come and go.

You're here...

Zhang Xuan nodded.

After the establishment of the Xuanxuan Society and the discussion of rules and regulations, he had sent her back to rest. She had been taking care of him recently and was also quite tired.

Teacher, Senior Hu Yaoyao came early this morning... Luo Qiqi lowered her voice.

Mm! Zhang Xuan responded.

Last night, after teaching that arrogant girl a lesson, he had told her to report the next day. It seemed she was punctual.

Entering the hall, he indeed saw Hu Yaoyao already waiting inside. Gone was her previous arrogance and allure; instead, she looked at him with awe in her eyes.

Yesterday's events had frightened her.

No wonder. All her tricks had been useless against this Zhang Xuan; not only that, but she had been outmaneuvered and scolded by her teacher. Moreover, having practiced the modified Rainbow Ripple Dance, which was indeed extraordinary, if she still didn't know her place, she wouldn't deserve to be called a prodigy.

Master Zhang...

Approaching him, Hu Yaoyao gritted her silver teeth and bowed slightly.

As expected of someone near the top of the school beauty rankings, even in ordinary master teacher robes, her every move exuded an alluring charm that stirred the heart.

Especially under her loose clothing, her seductive figure was faintly visible, sparking even more fantasies.

Unmoved by all this, Zhang Xuan glanced at her calmly. Do you know why I took you on as an apprentice?

Hu Yaoyao nodded. Master Zhang wants me to reveal the location of Wu Yangzi's former residence.

After saying this, she felt a bit frustrated.

She was the president of the Prodigy Society, a renowned genius of the academy, and exceptionally beautiful... yet becoming an apprentice to a new student was something he wasn't even willing to do... The thought was intoxicating.

She really wondered how such a freak could exist in the world.

Her charm was boundless; any man who met her would be irresistibly drawn and obediently listen. But encountering this man, she realized that in his eyes, her charm might not even be worth a high-grade spirit stone.

Mm, go ahead.

Seeing that she knew her place and status, Zhang Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

She was right; taking her as an apprentice was precisely for this purpose. Otherwise, why would he keep such a temperamental person around? He wasn't short of servants.

If I tell you the place, you won't believe me. How about this: if Master Zhang wants to go, I can take you there now. Hu Yaoyao stopped hiding and said.

Alright, lead the way.

Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

Although he was very tired, it was still early before dark. If they could find it, it would save a lot of trouble later.

Mm!

Nodding, Hu Yaoyao walked out of the courtyard first.

Beckoning Luo Qiqi, the two followed behind.

Leaving the Master Teacher Academy, they bypassed a few alleys and walked for a short while before a massive mansion appeared before them.

Spacious and vast, clean and tidy, exuding dignity and grandeur, it was clearly extraordinary.

"It's right here!" Hu Yaoyao stopped.

"Here?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.

The courtyard before him—the walls, bricks, tiles, even the architectural style—was almost entirely new, showing no trace of antiquity. Was this the former residence of Wu Yangzi?

Was it real or fake?

For a super master like Wu Yangzi, even if he had disappeared, his mansion and courtyard would surely have been tended by someone, preserving the old traces and style for posterity to admire.

But this place was completely new, with no traces whatsoever.

No wonder the woman confidently said that no one else could find it.

Even if someone came looking, they wouldn't dare believe it!

"Two thousand years ago, Senior Wu Yangzi lived here!" Hu Yaoyao nodded.

"This place is all newly built, with no traces at all. How can you be sure?" Zhang Xuan couldn't help but look at her.

Even Luo Qiqi was full of curiosity.

If they had found the wrong place, they would have come for nothing.

The so-called treasure left by Wu Yangzi would then be empty talk.

"How I know, I'm not at liberty to say in detail. But in all of Hongyuan City, I'm probably the only one who knows!" Hu Yaoyao didn't explain.

"Alright!"

Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Zhang Xuan knew that asking more would be useless. Since they had already found the place, asking for the reason was meaningless. He nodded and looked toward the mansion before him.

The red rosewood gate seemed freshly replaced, emitting the smell of paint.

The double doors were tightly shut, and he could hear people moving inside, even the sounds of craftsmen working.

However, there was no one outside, not even guards.

For a normal mansion of such size, regardless of the owner's status, there would be guards at the door. Here, there was nothing, which made one involuntarily feel strange, as if no one lived there.

"Should I go knock?" Luo Qiqi looked at him.

"Not yet..." Zhang Xuan shook his head. "Let's find a place to rest first!"

Since this was where Wu Yangzi had once lived, they would certainly need to enter and search for the so-called relics. Without a plan, going straight to knock would arouse suspicion and cause trouble later.

It was better to first inquire about who the mansion's owner was and what background they had.

Looking around, he saw a teahouse not far away that had a good view of the mansion. Zhang Xuan called out and the three of them walked in.

Although it faced the street, it was nearly evening, and the teahouse was quiet with few people.

Going up to the second floor, they ordered a pot of tea. Looking at the waiter who was refilling their cups, Zhang Xuan smiled and casually tossed him a mid-grade spirit stone.

"Waiter, I have a question for you."

Taking the spirit stone, the waiter's eyes lit up, and he quickly clasped his hands: "Young master, please speak. If I know, I will tell you everything without reservation!"

"That mansion across the street—whose is it? It looks quite impressive!"

Zhang Xuan pointed ahead.

"This one? I'm not too sure whose it is specifically. It changes owners often. In the two years I've been here, it's changed three times... Oh, no, four times!"

The waiter laughed, having thought he would be asked something else.

"Changed four times? What, is the feng shui bad here?" Hearing about the frequent changes of owners, Zhang Xuan was curious.

"Of course not. This place is right next to the Master Teacher Academy and on the main road. The location couldn't be better. How could the feng shui be bad? I don't know the specifics either. Two years ago, a merchant lived here. He bought it but within two months, his family had an accident, his business suffered, and he was forced to sell."

"Later, it seemed to be an official, but he didn't live long before he was transferred."

"The last resident lived here for over a year. His surname was Zhao, a nice man who often came for tea. But for some reason, he also had to move. Just a few days ago, he sold the place. The new buyer was very generous. I heard he not only didn't haggle but even paid extra to get the previous owner to move out quickly. Now it's being renovated. He probably hasn't moved in yet. As for who it is... since he's never come out, I don't know either!"

The waiter said.

"Just bought?" Zhang Xuan was startled.

Earlier, he had heard from Sun Qiang that there was a courtyard in a great location that he had wanted to buy, but before negotiations were settled, a wealthy man snatched it away. Could this be the one?

"You may go now."

After asking a few more questions and finding that the waiter knew nothing else, Zhang Xuan waved his hand. In his mind, he summoned the Celestial Beast to bring Sun Qiang over, then continued drinking tea.

Before long, the Celestial Beast flew over. Sun Qiang jumped off its back and hurried over.

"Young master, you called for me?"

Sun Qiang bowed.

"Mm. Is that courtyard across the street the one you mentioned last time?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"Yes. I wanted to buy it, but it was bought by a wealthy man..." Sun Qiang turned to look and nodded.

This location and the spaciousness of the mansion were very suitable for the young master's requirements. Unfortunately, they didn't have enough funds to compete with the other party; otherwise, they would never have let it go.

"Do you know any specific information about this wealthy man?" Zhang Xuan said.

"This... I'm not sure. But if we ask at the trading firm that handled the transaction, we should be able to find out!" After thinking for a moment, Sun Qiang said.

When a mansion is sold, a trading firm acts as a guarantor. It's easy to find out who bought it.

"Now, help me find out who the owner of this mansion is. I need to know within an hour!" Knowing that Sun Qiang used to sell houses and was good at this, Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

"Yes!" Sun Qiang acknowledged and turned to leave. About half an hour later, he returned, his eyes wide and his face full of shock, as if something unbelievable had happened.

"What's wrong?" Seeing his expression, Zhang Xuan looked at him.

"Young master, among this year's new students at the Master Teacher Academy, is there another... Zhang Xuan?" Instead of answering, Sun Qiang couldn't help asking.

"I'm the only one!" Zhang Xuan frowned. "What's wrong? I asked you to find out who owns this mansion. Why are you asking this?"

Among the thirty thousand new students, if there was someone with the same name, he would have known long ago. He had never heard of such a thing.

"If there's no one with the same name, then..."

Sun Qiang took a deep breath and couldn't help but say: "This mansion, barring any accidents... is yours!"
