Chapter 1571: Senior Brother

Elder Qu was the first person to meet Zhang Xuan. At that time, Zhang Xuan had disguised himself as Master Yang and even caused them to display symptoms of poisoning. All his actions went against the rules of Master Teachers. This prompted Elder Qu to report to the Master Teacher Pavilion, fanning the flames and leading to the issuance of an arrest warrant.

He had thought that with so many Master Teachers from the Master Teacher Pavilion dispatched, this fellow would be unable to escape his fate. He never dreamed that Zhang Xuan's students would arrive one by one, each more powerful than the last! Even if the students were powerful, Elder Qu believed that if the three major forces gritted their teeth, they could still punish him. However, his true identity was revealed: not only did he become the head of the Zhang Clan, but he also became the Hall Master of the Saint Son Hall. Even the Glacier Plain Court, the only all-female sect, turned out to be a sect belonging to his students.

He was so powerful, Elder Qu wondered if even the Master Teacher Pavilion would soon become his subordinate. Turning his head, Elder Qu saw that everyone around him was staring blankly, utterly shocked by the news.

"Haha, son, well done!" Sword Saint Xing's booming laughter rang out.

"My son is naturally extraordinary," Sword Saint Meng said with a smile. "Not to mention how he compares to you in your youth; even you now can't come close..." The more she looked at the young man before her, the prouder she felt.

Her son had been separated from her since childhood. She had thought he must have endured countless hardships, a truly miserable life. She never dreamed that when they met again, he would already be the Hall Master of the Saint Son Hall, and the students he taught would be exceptionally outstanding and incomparably powerful! The top-tier forces on the continent had almost been integrated by him alone!

"Oh, by the way, son, we arranged a marriage for you even before you were born..." As these powerful forces came to mind, Sword Saint Meng suddenly turned to look at Elder Luo Qingchen, who was not far away. "Elder Qingchen, when will our son's wedding be held? I heard that young lady from your family already has someone in their heart... This goes against your original agreement, doesn't it!"

"We'll hold the wedding as soon as we return, the sooner the better!" Luo Qingchen chuckled and looked over. "As for our little princess's beloved, you can ask Master Zhang; he should know more than us!"

"You know?" Sword Saint Meng looked over, her face full of confusion. She had only heard that the young lady had found someone she liked, but the other party hadn't specified who it was, so she wasn't clear.

With an embarrassed expression, Zhang Xuan scratched his head. "If I'm not mistaken, her beloved should be me..."

"You?" Sword Saint Meng's eyes widened instantly.

"Yes!" Zhang Xuan nodded with a wry smile. To be honest, he was also baffled by this matter. The Luo Clan knew the little princess liked him and had sent Luo Xuanqing to hunt him down. Luo Xuanqing then found him... It had all been a huge mess, and only today did he realize that he was the very genius to whom she was betrothed. If he had known this earlier, why go through all that trouble? If he had just revealed his identity, everyone would have been happy long ago.

"This... when did you two get together? Hurry and tell your mother..." Sword Saint Meng lost her demeanor as a master, looking utterly gossipy.

"Get together... can't you use a nicer word?" Zhang Xuan shook his head with a wry smile. "We can talk about this later..."

After speaking, he looked up at Elder Luo Qingchen, who was not far away. "Elder Qingchen, since I am the young genius of the Zhang Clan and the Clan Head, marrying the little princess is in accordance with the rules. She doesn't need to be confined anymore, right?"

"Of course!" Luo Qingchen quickly nodded. He had previously worried that the little princess having someone she liked would affect her relationship with the Zhang Clan. He never dreamed that the person she liked was the very young genius of the Zhang Clan to whom she was betrothed. In that case, why worry? There was nothing to worry about! Not to mention a pure relationship; even having a child would be acceptable!

"I'll go back now and release her," Luo Qingchen said, chuckling and stroking his beard as he looked at Sword Saint Xing. "By the way, when will your Zhang Clan come to formally marry her?" This son-in-law was not only the head of the Zhang Clan but also the Hall Master of the Saint Son Hall. His students controlled multiple forces: the Poison Hall, the Combat Master Hall, the Spirit Awakener Guild, the Glacier Plain Court, and the Yuan Clan. Once these forces united, it would only be a matter of time before the Luo Clan advanced even further. They naturally wouldn't let go of such a formidable person; the sooner the wedding, the better. Otherwise, once the news spread, there would be countless individuals coming to the Zhang Clan to propose marriage.

"I will take him back to acknowledge his ancestors," Sword Saint Xing nodded. "After that, we will prepare generous gifts and come over!" The union of the Zhang and Luo clans was a matter of immense significance. He had originally worried that the two might be unwilling, leading to an unpleasant outcome. But now that the two children were deeply in love, it couldn't be better; the sooner, the better.

"Alright then, I'll go back and make preparations..." With a hearty laugh, Luo Qingchen no longer hesitated and turned to leave.

"Let's go too!" Sword Saint Xing said with a soft smile, looking at Zhang Xuan, his eyes filled with anticipation. Knowing that his parents wanted him to return to the Zhang Clan to acknowledge his ancestors, Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment but still nodded. Since his former self was the young genius of the Zhang Clan, there was nothing to be conflicted about. What's more, these parents of his former self acted decisively and possessed a grand demeanor, which greatly suited his taste.

"Wait, you can't leave yet..." As the group was about to leave, Elder Qu, who was off to the side, could no longer hold back and shouted.

"What's wrong?" Sword Saint Xing turned his head.

"He has only resolved the issues with the three major forces, but our conflict with the Master Teacher Pavilion remains unresolved!" Elder Qu gritted his teeth. "His student, Wei Ruyan, the Hall Master of the Poison Hall, poisoned so many Master Teacher Pavilion experts. And President Wang Ying of the Spirit Awakener Guild performed spirit awakening on so many Master Teachers... How should all this be handled?"

"Indeed," Ren Qingyuan also nodded, looking over. "Also, Clan Head Zhang, please return the Master Teacher Pavilion's Hall Master Token to me. After all, it represents the dignity of the Master Teacher Pavilion!"

Hearing the other party demand the Hall Master Token, Zhang Xuan's face twitched. He looked at Wei Ruyan and the others. "Ruyan, remove all the poison from these Master Teachers! Wang Ying, have the Spirit Awakener Guild members restore these buildings to their original places! As for the Hall Master Token... I cannot return it to you for now!"

"You can't return it? What does that mean?" Ren Qingyuan frowned.

"Don't worry," Sword Saint Meng interjected from the side. "No one can refine the Hall Master Token, and no one can steal it if it remains here. You slandered my son and caused such a commotion. Let's discuss this again when you restore his Master Teacher status and reputation!"

Ren Qingyuan fell into thought.

"Hall Master, his Master Teacher status cannot be restored," Elder Qu couldn't help but step forward. "As a Master Teacher, one must possess teaching ethics and conduct, setting an example for students. His impersonation of Master Yang's student has already violated the Master Teacher Pavilion's rules..."

Before he finished speaking, the space before them distorted, and two figures suddenly appeared. The figure at the forefront was an old man, none other than Master Yang!

"Master Yang, you've come at just the right time!" Elder Qu, seeing him, was filled with excitement and hastily shouted, "This Zhang Xuan impersonated your student! Not only that, he even disguised himself as you!" Again, before he could finish, Master Yang took a step forward, came before Zhang Xuan, bowed with clasped fists, and said, "Senior Brother!"
