They are star teachers with backing from powerful clans and are considered influential celebrities in the entire Tianxuan Kingdom. No matter how influential the other party might possibly be, it means nothing at all before them.

”Un, I understand. But... Why does it seem like he is following us?”

Wang Chao felt puzzled. He glanced backward once more to look at the other party.

While the duo was speaking, they had turned at several corners, but the fellow was still behind them. What else can this be other than following?

”Perhaps he wishes to pay a visit to Yang shi as well. Let’s not talk anymore. Butler Sun is at the door, let’s go pay him the sum...”

Lu Xun shook his head. He didn’t want any troubles before acknowledging Yang shi as his master. After turning at two more corners, Yang shi’s mansion appeared before them. There were many people still queuing at the entrance, and Butler Sun Qiang happened to be at the door as well.

Wang Chao immediately walked over with his head held high and chest protruding. Putting on a haughty look, he squeezed through the crowd and handed the three million which he had just borrowed forward.

”Butler Sun, here is the fee for both of us to pay a visit to Yang shi. Now you can let us in, right?”

Didn’t you just mock us for being poor blokes?

In just a short hour, we’ve brought the money here. This is called... slapping your face in public!

In their minds, they imagined that Sun Qiang’s face would darken, and he would assume a subservient attitude, bending his back and fawning on them... But the plump man frowned instead. Without even turning to look at them, his chubby hands waved impatiently, ”Where did all of your nonsense come from? Didn’t I say just now? From now on, Yang shi won’t be accepting anymore money. It doesn’t matter how much you pay. So, for those whose names aren’t called, don’t cause any trouble here and scram!”

”You...”

Rage surged through Wang Chao, and he nearly vomited blood.

As one of the members of the top echelon of Tianxuan Kingdom, he is highly respected no matter where he went. Even Emperor Shen Zhui has to treat him with considerable respect. Yet, a mere butler dared to tell him to scram, not once, but twice. The strong sense of humiliation infuriated him so greatly that he was about to erupt.

”Sun Qiang, do you know who you’re talking to?”

With a darkened face, he walked forward and spat through gritted teeth.

”Oh? It’s Wang Chao laoshi...”

Only now did Sun Qiang clearly see the other party’s face, and he lifted his eyebrows, ”Why, you brought the money here this time?”

On the previous occasion, he was hesitant because of the other party’s identity as a celebrity teacher. However, after seeing that the old master was completely unbothered by the matter, he realized that it doesn’t matter whether one is a noble or a celebrity teacher.

If you listen obediently, I’ll speak up for you. Otherwise, it doesn’t matter who you are!

The moment Wang Chao heard Sun Qiang’s reply, he nearly passed out from rage.

The heck!

What do you mean by that look of contempt!

What do you mean by “ you brought the money here this time”?

If those who don’t know better were to hear, they would think that I had come multiple times shamelessly without money...

”Wang Chao, calm down!”

Upon realizing that his friend was about to explode, Lu Xun shook his head and took a step forward.

Even though this friend of his has good talent and is skilled in teaching others, he is hot-tempered and due to this trait, had got into plenty of trouble in the past.

If he hadn’t stepped in, it is likely that Wang Chao would have really turned violent.

Beating up this fellow means sullying Yang shi’s dignity. Not only will Yang shi not admit them as apprentices, he might just drive them away.

Holding back his agitated friend, Lu Xun clasped his hands and smiled, ”Butler Sun, I don’t there’s any need to introduce us anymore. It is our fault for not bringing the money here previously, so we brought the money this time along with the name scroll. May I trouble you to report this matter to Yang shi? If he truly refuses to meet with us, we will give up on the idea and bother you no more.”

With a single look, it was clear that Sun Qiang was a typical street person. Arguing with him would just make things more and more complicated, so Lu Xun decided to avoid unnecessary trouble and dive straight into the topic.
