I Become a Teacher and Begin with a Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 29

Chapter 29: Why Would There Be a Dragon Egg in an Intermediate Mystic Realm?!

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

As the saying goes, father and son are connected. Luo Yuanbai and Luo Tian’ao looked at each other on the spot. They could tell from each other’s eyes that they had the same thoughts.

At this moment, the two of them were thinking of ways to get closer to Zhang Xuan.

The matter of building a relationship was actually not a big deal. Logically speaking, the simplest and crudest way was to give him benefits directly. However, if this method was not done well, Zhang Xuan might think that the Luo family was throwing money at him. Moreover, being overly enthusiastic and proactive might make the Luo family’s ‘status’ seem too low.

But then again, if they put on airs, it might make Zhang Xuan think that the Luo family was arrogant and high and mighty. If they didn’t show the proper courtesy, he would feel that they were not sincere. It was actually very difficult to grasp the limits.

If it were any other teacher. Luo Yuanbai or Luo Tian’ao could tell at a glance what kind of “price” was most suitable. However, facing Zhang Xuan, they did not know how to speak for a moment.

This was because this young teacher looked unfathomable. It was very difficult to “appraise”!

Although the two of them didn’t show any change in expression, they were already secretly troubled in their hearts.

At this moment, Luo Chuan, who was standing at the side, was shocked. He exclaimed:

“What? Had little sister already mastered all of the Swordsman techniques?! Is Teacher Zhang that amazing?”

Luo Chuan had already become Zhang Xuan’s little fan, so he naturally attributed all the credit to Zhang Xuan. Luo Yuanbai’s expression changed slightly when he saw his son’s lack of shrewdness. He was about to scold him immediately.

However, Luo Tian’ao took a step forward without batting an eyelid. This subtle action naturally stopped Luo Yuanbai from speaking. At the same time, it gave Luo Tian’ao an opportunity to rope in Zhang Xuan.

“Mr. Zhang, I didn’t expect that you would be so considerate to your little sister when she’s just an auditing student. This kind of rapid improvement is something I have never heard of before.”

“In the past two years, little sister has never made such progress under Shi laoshi’s tutelage. Since Mister Zhang and little sister hit it off so well, I’ll be bold to ask you.”

“There are two seasons this year, winter and summer. When Yunlai Academy is on break, would you be willing to come to the Luo family to relieve the heat and avoid the cold? In this way, not only can I have Mister Zhang to guide me in my cultivation techniques, but I can also learn from you. Our Luo family can also get closer to you.”

Zhang Xuan immediately understood what Luo Tian’ao meant: He wanted him to be the Luo family’s ‘guest agent’!

If he were to say this directly now, he might seem a little anxious. However, if he were to invite her over as a guest, it would be much more natural. He was called a guest, but after staying there for a long time and becoming familiar with each other, the guests became guests.

Zhang Xuan had his own considerations regarding this. If he could successfully establish a good relationship with the Luo family, it would naturally be a good thing for him. However, he still needed to observe.

If both sides had a friendly relationship of equals, Zhang Xuan would naturally be willing. However, if he wanted to be a member of the Luo family, then there was nothing much to say.

With a plan in mind, Zhang Xuan smiled and said:

“Many thanks for Young Master Luo’s kindness. I also have the intention to spend more time with Jiutian. However…”

Hearing Zhang Xuan’s words, Luo Tianao’s eyes lit up. He smiled and asked:

“If you have any concerns, feel free to speak!”

Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment before smiling and saying:

“However, Jiutian isn’t my only student. If I only teach Jiutian, I’m afraid it’s a little unfair.”

As he said this, Zhang Xuan glanced at Xiang Xiaowan, who had a confused look on her face.

Luo Tian’ao immediately agreed: “Since the Luo family has invited you as a guest, Jiutian must naturally invite her senior sister and the others as well.”

“Since everyone is from the same sect, we will definitely support each other in the future. Little sister also needs this senior sister to take care of her.”

These words could be considered to have completely given Zhang Xuan enough face and a way out. Moreover, since Zhang Xuan said that Luo Jiutian’s assessment standard was half of Xiang Xiaowan’s results, this “Big Sister” must be a strong person. It was definitely not a bad thing to build a relationship.

Hearing this, Zhang Xuan nodded slightly and said: “Since Young Master Luo is so hospitable, there’s no harm in paying a visit to your residence.”

With that, Luo Tian’ao felt at ease. As long as Zhang Xuan was willing to do him the honor of visiting the Luo family, there would be plenty of ways to get closer to them. There was no need to rush!

…

Since the Luo family was here, they naturally took over the matter of the All-rounded class going to the intermediate mystic realm. Along the way, Luo Yuanbai and Zhang Xuan chatted fervently. They did not seem like elders talking to juniors at all. They even seemed to be of the same generation.

This made Zhang Xuan slightly surprised. He had long heard that the Luo family had always valued the etiquette of respecting their teachers, but he did not expect them to go so far.

From the looks of it, it seemed like it was the right choice for him to build a good relationship with the Luo family.

Soon, the group arrived at a catacombs in the suburbs. This catacomb was the only intermediate mystic realm near Yunlai City: Eternal Night Underground Palace!

Generally speaking, no one was allowed to enter an intermediate secret realm without being above level 30.

However, Luo Jiutian, who was only level 20, had been here once, and his results were quite impressive.

However, at this moment, Luo Jiutian was extremely nervous. She was confident that she could gain experience in the underground palace. However, she was not confident that she could achieve the same results as Xiang Wan.

In the past month, although he had comprehended a lot through listening, she had greatly improved her cultivation. However, Xiang Xiaowan’s improvement was even more terrifying. Luo Jiutian, who had spent every day with her, knew this very well.

Seeing their little sister’s nervous look, the Luo family couldn’t help but look at Xiang Xiaowan: This girl’s strength was definitely extraordinary!

Before entering the Eternal Night Underground Palace, Zhang Xuan smiled and instructed the two:

“This time, when we enter the secret realm to train, we must prioritize safety. Remember, the test is just a test, not a battle of life and death. Don’t engage in meaningless battles.”

Then, he took out a blueprint from his storage ring and handed it to Luo Jiutian.”

“Take this blueprint. If you can get it, I will take you in as my disciple no matter what the result is.”

Luo Jiutian’s eyes lit up. If she had to compare herself to Xiang Xiaowan, she didn’t have the confidence. However, if her master had a mission for her to do, she would naturally spare no effort!

Luo Jiutian immediately nodded and entered the underground palace. This time, the mythical realm would only be open for three hours. They had to race against time.

Xiang Xiaowan looked at Zhang Xuan curiously and asked: “Mr. Zhang, what exactly is in the center of the third floor of the underground palace?”

Zhang Xuan smiled faintly and said: “It’s nothing. It’s just a Wind Spirit Dragon’s egg.”

Zhang Xuan’s words were spoken casually, but Luo Yuanbai’s eyebrows trembled slightly.

There was actually a dragon egg in this intermediate mystic realm?! How was this possible?
