Just as Lin Shilang regarded Yang Zhen as an equal opponent, Yang Zhen…
really didn’t take Lin Shilang seriously.
I thought I was going to meet a well-respected gentleman, but as I walked with the head sister, I came across Little Huan, who was flabbergasted and said, “Head sister, the gentleman… he’s gone!”
“He’s left?” The head sister was taken aback and asked, “Didn’t the gentleman say he was coming back with us? Why did he leave alone without saying goodbye?”
Little Huan shook her head and said, “Uncle Wang said that there was an emergency in Turtle Serpent Island, so the gentleman left first and told us to go back by ourselves.”
The head sister nodded her head and turned to Yang Zhen, “It seems that your
luck doesn’t always work out.”
Yang Zhen curled his lips, this woman had really heard the discussions from Liang Kai’s group. She could act so casually, indeed, seemingly carefree women often hid deep thoughts behind their expressions. Better not to provoke them. “Never mind, there’s one thing you’ve got wrong. Not seeing me is certainly a great loss for the gentleman. I am a unique martial arts talent. If you miss me, there will not be another like me!”
The head sister had a playful look in her eyes and said to Yang Zhen, “Even though we can’t see the gentleman, I can take you to the gentleman’s study. It might inspire you.”
just as Yang Zhen was about to speak, Lin Shilang returned and laughingly said, “I had the same idea. Since Brother Yang is destined to become the private disciple of the gentleman, he will undoubtedly complete the gentleman’s work.
As a humble person, I’m willing to witness it.
People were coming and going on the Blade’s Edge. Hearing Lin Shilang’s words, they all stopped and looked at Yang Zhen in amazement.
“Who is this guy? He looks so unfamiliar, is he a talented youngster brought by the head sister?”
“Even Young Master Lin is willing to be a witness, does this young man have any extraordinary talents in literature?”
“Didn’t you hear what Young Master Lin said? This young man is destined to become the gentleman’s private, it’s really terrifying, his talents must be astonishing.”
“A talented youngster, huh? Can’t you hear that Young Master Lin is mocking this young man? In my opinion, this young man is just a flashy pretender, and for some reason, he has offended Young Master Lin.
“My goodness, did he offend Young Master Lin? Doesn’t this young man know who Young Master Lin is?”
Everyone’s gaze towards Yang Zhen gradually became peculiar especially after they noticed the hint of mockery at the corner of Lin Shilang’s mouth, they confirmed their suspicions and one after another felt a sense of schadenfreude.
On the Coast of the East Sea, countless young talents wanted to become the gentleman’s private disciple. Even the grand overseas sects were extremely respectful towards the gentleman, it was said a lot of young and gifted individuals had come to participate in this overseas trial in hopes of getting recognized by the gentleman.
Under such circumstances, if the news that Yang Zhen was ‘destined’ to be the gentleman’s private disciple spread out, it would be difficult for Yang Zhen to take a step in the Coast of the East Sea.
“Tsk, tsk, what a pathetic guy. He dared to offend the exceptionally talented Young Master Lin. Without a drop of blood, he made it difficult for him to move anywhere, and made him an enemy everywhere.”
The head sister frowned, and with some displeasure said to Young Master Lin, “Lin Shilang, what do you mean by this?”
just as Lin Shilang was about to speak, Yang Zhen suddenly stepped up to him. Under the eyes of all, he patted Lin Shilang on the shoulder, and said, “You should learn well. To know what you know and not know what you don’t know is the essence of knowledge. A good pupil is teachable, a good pupil is teachable!”
After he finished saying that, Yang Zhen, in the confusion of everyone, turned around and walked away. His tall figure was imposing and hard to look away from.
The head sister’s body quivered, and she quickly followed him.
Lin Shilang’s face turned pale, and he retreated two steps, mumbling to himself. His face got redder and redder, his words faster and faster. All around he could only hear the “buzzing… buzzing” sounds coming from his mouth.
“What… what did that young man say just now that made Young Master Yang look so shocked?”
“Didn’t you hear what Young Master Lin said? Buzz, buzz, buzz. It’s probably some profound sentence in learning. We don’t need to guess blindly. We won’t get it.”
-My goodness, it’s indeed a profound knowledge. The face of Young Master Lin is alternating between pale and red, oh my, it’s gone white again. This young man… is he really destined to be the gentleman’s private disciple?” Everyone was struck with fright as they watched Lin Shilang’s blushing and confusing face, whispering in astonishment.
At that moment, Lin Shilang felt a sudden brightness in front of him, as if he wanted to burst into laughter. Then, remembering that the insight he had just had was triggered by Yang Zhen’s words, he choked back his laughter. He looked as miserable as if he had eaten a dead fly and exuded a sense of unpredictability. With a cold harrumph, he advanced towards the inner cabin. ■■Hey!” The elder sister tapped Yang Zhen’s shoulder and asked, “What did you mean by what you just said?”
Yang Zhen had given the elder sister quite a start. He responded with a shake of his head, “It was a saying from an old wise man back in our hometown. To him, that would be but a small piece of wisdom.”
The elder sister’s eyes widened with curiosity before she inquired, “Are there truly many powerful beings in your hometown that carry wisdom in their words?”
“IS it even questionable?” Yang Zhen almost believed his own flattering lie.
Buzz!
Upon standing in front of a cabin door, Yang Zhen’s head suddenly felt as if it had been hammered. His face contorted, and he halted his steps.
The elder sister nearly ran into Yang Zhen’s back. She asked with puzzlement, “What happened? Why has your complexion turned so pale?”
Yang Zhen shook his head and glanced at the cabin door curiously. It was a very ordinary cabin door, indistinguishable from others nearby. However, Yang Zhen could sense that beyond this door, a terrifying presence as vast as the sea was surging. It was dazzling like a constellation of stars, boundless and profound, making it difficult for Yang Zhen to breathe.
“What, didn’t you just say knowing when to admit one’s shortcomings is a sign of great wisdom? Now, you dare not even push open the master’s cabin door?” Liang Kai teased him with a sarcastic tone. A self-confident smile returned to his face Though Yang Zhen’s words were full of wisdom, Liang Kai had comprehended them within a mere instant, which proved that the gap between him and Yang Zhen was not substantial.
Yang Zhen turned to look at Liang Kai, surprisingly asking, “Did you comprehend it?”
Liang Kai chuckled, “Such a superficial understanding of wisdom can hardly be considered ‘comprehension’ in its truest sense.”
Yang Zhen nodded, “You’re right. In our hometown, even children of a few years old can fully comprehend it. Not to mention you, Brother Lin, who is the top scholar of the Dajiang Country.”
“You…” Liang Kai’s face turned cold, and he shut his mouth without uttering another word.
Little Huan was giggling by the side. The elder sister glared at her, but she couldn’t help bursting into laughter herself.
“Let’s go in!” Yang Zhen said curiously, gently laying his hands on the cabin door.
Squeak!
As the cabin door opened, an aroma of books rushed towards them. The overwhelming tide of scholarly aura flooded in, causing Yang Zhen to let out a muffled groan and look back in astonishment.
No matter if it was the elder sister, Little Huan, or even Lin Shilang, everyone seemed oblivious.
This… is quite interesting!
Yang Zhen took a deep breath and stepped inside.
The moment he entered the cabin, Yang Zhen shuddered. His face reflected the astonishment as he took in the unbelievable sight before his eyes.
If not for the fact that his feet were firmly on the ground, Yang Zhen would have thought he had arrived in the starry cosmos.
Countless stars swirled before his eyes, deep and remote. These stars’ patterns formed numerous varying sizes of words that drifted in the vast universe. Each word emanated an aura teeming with wisdom, either intense or faint.
This master is indeed extraordinary. Yang Zhen almost immediately fell in love with this place. He simply sat down, closed his eyes to meditate, completely forgetting about the three people behind him.
The three were left looking at each other in bewilderment with no idea what Yang Zhen was up to..
