Wang Tao's interruption

Lu Fengyi left the room and soon after, Zhang Xuan followed suit. Taking big strides, Zhang Xuan stopped in front of the lecture stand and began to speak, this time the students paid their full attention to Zhang Xuan's words, "Alright, I have roughly gone through the problems you all have on you. You all need to persevere in your training…"

In the middle of his sentence, the door slammed open revealing a young man who seemed not much older than the students inside the classroom. The young man burst into the room and shouted, "Zhang Xuan, withdraw my younger sister and Zhao Ya xiaojie from your lessons right now. Otherwise, I will make you will suffer!"

Lu Fengyi instantly recognised this red-eyed boy who had just barged into the room. He was Wang Ying's older brother, Wang Tao, and was a student of the head of bureau of education, Elder Shang.

Wang Ying instantly rushed forward to try and pacify Wang Tao, seeing him in such a deranged state, only to be pushed behind Wang Tao protectively.

"Don't interfere in this!" He pushed his younger sister to his back before staring coldly at Zhang Xuan. With a haughty expression, he said, "Zhang Xuan, it is one thing if you use your nonsense to deceive others, but to think that you would dare to coax my younger sister with lies. You are seeking death! I will give you ten seconds. If you withdraw my younger sister and Zhao Ya xiaojie from your tutelage now, I can let this slip. If not, even if you are a teacher, don't blame me for not going easy on you!"

Zhang Xuan blandly refuted, "I am conducting lessons right now, get out!"

"Conducting lessons? With your standard, what could you possibly be teaching!" Wang Tao mocked him coldly. "Get out? You want me to get out? Who do you think you are? The only reason why I call you a teacher is out of basic respect. Look at how you are, are you not aware of it? You are but a lowly teacher who is still in Zhenqi realm, don't act like you are a big shot before me. Even if I were to beat you up today, the most that would happen is a reprimand by the elders. What can you possibly do to me?"

Zhang Xuan's face turned dark before uttering in a low, however commanding tone, "Scram."

Instantly, Wang Tao's face turned dark with fury and indignation as he pulled out the sword by his side and swept a powerful blow towards Zhang Xuan.

The students closed their eyes, fearful of what would happen to their teacher, however Lu Fengyi was determined to capture this amazingly well written scene. Just as the novel dictated, Wang Tao's sword swept towards Zhang Xuan, creating gusts of wind as it did so, only to be caught between Zhang Xuan's two fingers.

Wang Ying and the rest of the class, who had closed their eyes stared unblinkingly at the seemingly impossible scene. Wang Tao attempted to draw the sword back, however Zhang Xuan's fingers were like iron clamps.

Smirking at what he knew would happen next, Lu Fengyi called out to Wang Tao, "I'd advise you to stop resisting and back off now!"

Hearing the sudden advice, Wang Tao originally flushed with a shade of red in embarrassment, however true to being a student of an elder, Wang Tao quickly realised that he was gravely outmatched and with the help of the warning, he let go of the sword, leaping backwards towards the door with clasped hands.

"Zhang laoshi, it seems that I have underestimated you. Although you may be weak for a teacher, you are still outside the scope of my power. I apologise for my outburst just then!" Wang Tao took a deep breath before continuing, "However don't even think about keeping Wang Ying as your student. Everybody knows that your score in the teacher's evaluation was zero meaning you must be a complete trash at imparting knowledge. I'd advise you to voluntarily release my little sister from your tutelage before I get my father involved!"

"Brother, that's enough!" Wang Ying, face completely red with embarrassment, pushed her brother out of the classroom and shut the door behind her, "Zhang laoshi, I'm truly sorry for my elder brother's behaviour. He doesn't know your true teaching ability and he was thinking for my wellbeing."

Zhang Xuan nodded wisely before replying, "I see no problem with his mindset, however he could have taken a more respectful method to address the issue. However, bygones are bygones, he's learnt his lesson already."

Wang Ying bowed, thanking Zhang Xuan for his kindness before sitting back in her seat, face still slightly red.

Outside the classroom, Yao Han saw Wang Tao exit the room, hair dishevelled, and robes creased in a mess. Despite these odd features, Yao Han still decided to ask, "Young master Wang Tao, were you able to expose that scammer's true nature? Has Wang Ying xiaojie already withdrawn from his tutelage?"

Wang Tao flushed with shame before muttering, "I was about to confront Zhang laoshi, however my little sister pushed me out immediately. I think... why don't we try waiting here?"

Yao Han looked at Wang Tao oddly, 'Only a few minutes ago you were pounding your chest and saying how you would beat up that trash and bring your little sister and the young mistress out of his grasps, yet now you change your mind and decide to wait outside? May I ask you if you're experiencing mood swings these days?'

Back inside the classroom, Zhang Xuan set the sword between his fingers aside before stepping back to the lecture stand and continuing, "As I was saying before, I have looked through most of your problems and each of you should follow my advice carefully while also increasing your cultivation. As for those I've given certain tasks to do, please complete them by tomorrow."

With that, Zhang Xuan waved his hands before exiting the room. The students stared oddly at Zhang Xuan's leaving figure before looking towards each other, seeing if there would be a general consensus on what to do.

Lu Fengyi smiled broadly at the rest of the students before raising his hand and suggesting, "How about we disband for today and return to our dorms or families to cultivate. I'm not sure about you guys, however I've gotten a load of advice from Zhang laoshi, so I need as much time as I can get to contemplate on the comments and work on my cultivation."

The other five students nodded, agreeing candidly to the suggestion.

Seeing the others agree, Lu Fengyi swept up his robes and collected his books before moving towards the door, "Then that shall be it for today, I wish you all luck in cultivation."

And with that, Lu Fengyi left the room, jogging lightly towards his room in the dormitories.

There was truly too much to catch up on!
