Compared to the scramble of the three men, Liu Tianzheng frowned slightly on the opposite side.
Naturally, as the leader of a clan, he was also adept in discerning intentions. The current Zhang Xuan laoshi, who could make three experts treat him this way, must be quite extraordinary.
However, his extraordinariness lay solely in Horse Taming Techniques, which had no benefits for the Liu Clan, which focuses on commerce and the black market.
As he pondered whether to also curry favor with the other party and not take the money, he saw that Patriarch Chen Xiao had already handed him a large sum of Origin Currency, "Count it, a total of 320,000, not a penny less, rest assured, Zhang laoshi will not take any advantage of you."
Hesitating for less than a breath, Liu Tianzheng nodded and accepted, "Good!"
What did Horse Taming have to do with him?
Besides, this fellow wasn't more than twenty-some years of age; no matter how talented he was, how powerful could he be? It's probably just the others exaggerating to raise his price!
It was nothing he hadn't seen before.
Not worth mentioning!
Zhang Xuan looked around, "Now that the matter is resolved, is it time for everyone to leave this place?"
A large crowd had surged into his space, making a mess of it, but it was also good. From now on, his identity as a teacher was firmly established, and no one should doubt him anymore.
"Everyone leave, and don't forget to fix the door, Patriarch Chen..."
Seeing him shooing people away, Dean Lu Mingrong waved his hand.
Zhou Qun and the others looked over excitedly, "School Head Lu, since Zhang laoshi is going to start a Horse Taming class, can we come and be students? Don't worry, we'll pay the tuition fees!"
"Yes, please take us in..."
"We have a certain foundation, and it's easier to teach us, plus we're more obedient than the average student."
A group of renowned Horse Tamers from Baiyan City excitedly spoke at once.
Only after personally witnessing his beast taming skills did they realize how terrifying it was, and what an honor it would be to have such a person as a teacher.
"..."
Dean Lu Mingrong blinked.
From being hired as an honorary elder in the Chen Clan to Zhou Qun and the others paying homage, he knew this Zhang laoshi's level in Horse Taming was very high, but as for how high, he didn't have a clear idea, now he fully understood.
It was probably no less than his talent in cultivation.
Cultivating, imparting knowledge, Horse Taming... this Zhang laoshi seemed like a gold mine, the more you dug, the more treasures you found, dazzling and overwhelming.
With a feeling of marvel in his heart and weighing the pros and cons of accepting these people, Patriarch Chen Xiao's smiling voice came through, "If you want to learn Horse Taming, naturally you should go to the horse farm, where you can practice, and the space is large enough for you to demonstrate... isn't that right, Elder Zhang?"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
"Then it's settled, Elder Zhang will take you as students, but not at Baiyan Academy, but at Baiyan Horse Farm..." Patriarch Chen Xiao's eyes shone.
Once this group became disciples of Zhang Xuan, they would be completely tied to the Chen Clan, and it would no longer be so troublesome to ask them to tame horses in the future... With just a few words, he had secured so many Horse Tamers, the 320,000 Origin Currency was well spent!
Knowing his intentions, Dean Lu Mingrong frowned unhappily, "Zhang laoshi is a teacher at our Baiyan Academy, why should he go to your horse farm to teach? I think it's inappropriate, if it's just that the space is not large enough and you want to fit in practice, our academy can also specifically make arrangements..."
"Our horse farm has many wild horses delivered each month, which is more cost-effective for practice!"
"Our academy has specialized research personnel who can create written records, which is more conducive to the propagation of such methods..."
In the blink of an eye, the two started arguing.
Meanwhile, Yu Longqing seized the opportunity and came up with a smile, "Actually, my City Lord Residence also has a specialized horse farm with a vast area. I might as well take Zhang laoshi over to take a look before you make a decision..."
"Shut it, Old Bi Deng!"
Dean Lu Mingrong and Patriarch Chen Xiao scolded in unison.
"Since it's Horse Taming, it's better to go to a horse farm! The area is vast, and there are plenty of horses..." Interrupting the three's quarrel, Zhang Xuan provided the resolution.
Regardless, the Chen Clan had provided over 500,000 Origin Currency upfront for the sake of just a class venue; naturally, he had to give priority to them.
"Thank you, Elder Zhang, ha ha ha ha, City Lord Yu, School Head Lu, our Chen Clan will be very gracious..."
With a laugh, Patriarch Chen Xiao turned and kicked his son, who was standing not far away in a daze, "What are you staring at, hurry and kneel in the training ground!"
Chen Hao had a tearful face but had no choice but to obey his father and left the room. Once away from the crowd, he couldn't help looking back, "Dad, what is going on? Why is Zhang laoshi our Chen Clan's honorary elder, and why are the school head and city lord treating him like this..."
"With your intelligence, you won't understand even if I explain it. Just remember that Zhang laoshi is not to be offended. He is inscrutable and that's enough!"
Patriarch Chen Xiao waved his hand dismissively.
"Yes!" Chen Hao nodded.
If he had known this, he would have been crazy to trouble Zhang laoshi! Now, not only was he punished, but it seemed like his goddess also felt he was meddling too much and didn't want to bother with him...
It was a loss on multiple fronts!
...
In the dormitory of Baiyan Academy, Yu Xiaoyu's dormitory, Yu Longqing looked at his daughter with a frown, "What's the deal with the cultivation method taught to you by Zhang laoshi?"
Since Zhang Xuan sent the guests away, they naturally did not want to stay any longer, especially since staying too long could give away too much.
He had arrived late today. Although he had heard about the commotion caused by Chen Hao, he hadn't witnessed it, so as soon as he arrived, he couldn't help but ask.
"I'm not sure either. It was just some basic cultivation techniques. At the time, I was only thinking about you teaching me the 'Five Directions Energy Storage Technique', so I didn't pay much attention..."
