Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

At this moment, Qin Ming was certain that Zhang Xuan definitely had very deep attainments in the aspect of medicinal pills. From the looks of it, he could often discuss this little mister in the future.

At this moment, Luo Chuan knocked on the door and said: “Father, all the guests have arrived.”

Luo Yuanbai stood up and led everyone out of the study.

When they arrived at the reception hall, Luo Yuanbai, as the host, naturally had to go on stage to say a few words.

Although Zhang Xuan was Luo Jiutian’s master, he didn’t steal the limelight. He just waited patiently.

However, Zhang Xuan quickly noticed a few people. The first thing he saw was Yunlai’s dean, Zhou Wen, and a few other high-ranking administrators.

Zhou Wen and Zhang Xuan looked at each other and nodded with a smile. Their eyes were filled with praise. Clearly, Zhang Xuan had given Yunlai Academy a huge boost in its reputation this time!

As for the management from the other schools, they looked at Zhou Wen with jealousy and envy.

Apart from that, the people from the other large clans were also observing Zhang Xuan, as if they wanted to see what was so extraordinary about this young man.

However, what Zhang Xuan cared about the most was the host seat of this apprenticeship banquet. That was because there were three people in the seats who were not from the Luo family!

One of them was Qin Ming, whom they had just talked about in the study. As for the other two, one of them looked to be in his early thirties. He wore a pair of glasses and looked nervous and reserved from head to toe. The other was in his forties and had a full beard. He looked at Zhang Xuan with contempt and even a hint of hostility.

Zhang Xuan entered the Library of Heaven’s Path to take a look, and he immediately understood the reason behind it.

It turned out that according to the Luo family’s rules, the master and daughter’s teachers were of the same generation as the head of the family. At such a banquet, the teachers who had the same status as the family head naturally sat in the host’s seat. These people were the teachers of Luo Jiutian’s three brothers.

Since they were all guests of the Luo family, Zhang Xuan naturally wouldn’t cause trouble. He smiled at the bearded man as a greeting. However, the other party snorted coldly and looked at Zhang Xuan with even more contempt.

Soon, after Luo Yuanbai finished his speech, he led Zhang Xuan to his seat. He picked up the wine glass on the table and said,”

“Everyone, in order to celebrate my daughter becoming Mister Zhang’s disciple, let us drink this cup together!”

All the guests present stood up and imitated him by raising their glasses.

At this moment, the bearded man snorted coldly and said: “Wait!”

Everyone was slightly stunned. Luo Yuanbai asked with a puzzled look,”

“Brother Liu, what happened?”

That Liu guy snorted coldly and looked at Zhang Xuan from the corner of his eyes: “The Luo family is the number one family in Yanhui City. How can such a big matter like your daughter becoming a disciple be treated as a child’s play?

“Eldest Young Master’s teacher, Mr. Qin, has long been famous. Third Young Master’s teacher is the principal of Yanhui Academy. But why is this Mr. Zhang on equal footing with us?”

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuanbai frowned slightly. Did the Luo family need the approval of others to acknowledge someone as their master?

However, due to the Luo family’s rules, Luo Yuanbai could not make things difficult and could only smooth things over for Zhang Xuan.

“Younger Brother Liu, this Mister Zhang is indeed outstanding. After all, Jiutian is my biological daughter. The fact that I can hold this apprenticeship banquet is natural because I have recognized Mister Zhang’s ability.”

“Mr. Zhang is on equal footing with the other gentlemen. There is absolutely no problem.”

These words were already very tactful. Not only did he praise Zhang Xuan, but he also made his words clear. However, Liu sneered and said: “Brother Luo, I think you didn’t investigate properly. This Zhang Xuan is an influential figure in Yunlai Academy, the only intern teacher in the academy!”

“Could it be that the Luo family can even treat an intern teacher as a guest of honor?

“I, Liu Tong, do not wish to spoil everyone’s mood on this joyous day. I just wish for Brother Luo to consider carefully. If there is really a joke in the future, it will be a disgrace to the Luo Family.”

Hearing this, everyone was slightly stunned and began to discuss in low voices.

After all, they didn’t expect the fourth daughter of the Luo Family, Luo Jiutian, to have an intern teacher as her master.

At this moment, Luo Yuanbai’s face had completely darkened. If it weren’t for the Luo family rules, he would have fallen out with them long ago. But at this moment, he still suppressed his anger and asked in a stiff tone:

“In Brother Liu’s opinion, should I cancel the apprenticeship banquet today and tell the world that my Luo family is a person who goes back on his word?”

“There’s no need!” Liu Tong sneered and raised his head, “Since the Luo Clan has acknowledged Mr. Zhang, we naturally have no right to interfere. However, it’s your business if you want to be on equal footing with him.”

“This kid wants to be the master of the Luo family, but he has to go through me. Otherwise, when you see the other three of us in the future, you must be respectful and polite!”

Hearing this, Qin Ming frowned slightly. The middle-aged man with glasses was also at a loss. Clearly, he did not expect that this matter would involve them.

Meanwhile, Liu Tong looked at Zhang Xuan with a fierce expression. He was obviously set on this show of strength.

Luo Yuanbai’s expression had completely darkened. He was about to say something when Zhang Xuan raised his hand slightly to stop him.

Zhang Xuan still had a faint smile on his face. He gently waved the folding fan in his hand and said in a clear voice: “It seems that Brother Liu is truly considerate of the Luo Clan and has fulfilled his duties as a master.

“Since Brother Liu is worried that I don’t have any real talent, why don’t you tell me how I’m going to get past you?”

“Let’s just treat it as a drinking game to liven up the guests.”

Hearing Zhang Xuan’s words, Luo Yuanbai’s expression finally eased a little. The apprenticeship banquet had almost turned into a farce, but if it was described as a drinking game, it seemed to have a completely different meaning.

Liu Tong dared to make such a scene because of the Luo family’s rules of respecting his teachers, but Luo Yuanbai could not do anything to him.

This situation was already considered the best outcome. Liu Tong sneered. He already had an idea in his mind.

“Mr. Zhang is indeed a man of great courage! Since all the guests are here, why don’t we have a three-fight in front of everyone? As long as you can win two matches, I, Liu Tong, will acknowledge your ability!

“How is it?”
