Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 35: Instructions About Teachers
A week had already passed since the invitation of the patriarch of the Jiang Clan to come to his birthday celebration.
Jiang Yang had already been executed in the center of the city after being paraded around the city by the people of the Wen Clan. A very bad event considering that the Jiang Clan was one of the three major clans. But due to his own ambition of wanting to subdue all the clans in Qian Gu City, making all parties furious was great.
There was no longer the name of the Jiang Clan. As if his name was a taboo thing that was forbidden to mention.
On the other hand, today became an important point for the Zhang Clan because the guest from the He Family that Du Xiong led came with the intention of cooperation managing the resource mine. They came with fifty people, including twenty workers and thirty extraction experts to cultivate the raw resource crystals.
After quite a while of talking about the deal in the sealed space, the people from the He family and the Zhang Clan together headed for the resource mine. The place that was previously still very lush is now clean and decent. There was even a special building for extraction experts to cultivate the resource crystal that was not far from the mouth of the cave.
"Patriarch Zhang, you can go back and let your men and my men work. I want to talk to Zhang Yu, so you don't have to accompany me."
Zhang Lei glanced at Zhang Yu who was standing beside him. The youth who used to be known as useless trash was now gold to the Zhang Clan.
It was not just about genius talent in cultivation. But it also contributed to the clan's progress. Zhang Lei was confident, with this cooperation the Zhang Clan would develop even faster. Both in strength and economics.
"If so I'll be back. If there's anything don't hesitate to tell me." Zhang Lei smiled at Du Xiong then turned to Zhang Yu. "Zhang Yu, you serve Eunuch Du well. He's our guest."
"You take it easy, Patriarch. I'll do well."
Heem...
After Zhang Lei's departure, Du Xiong and Zhang Yu walked to a quieter place.
"Actually what does Fat Uncle want to talk about? It seems to be very important." Zhang Yu leaned against a tree while asking Du Xiong.
Du Xiong nodded his head. "I got a message directly from the Great Lord. If possible, can you invite your teacher to come to Heishan City?"
Hearing Du Xiong bring up the teacher, Zhang Yu smiled bitterly.
"Uncle Fat, I haven't seen the teacher in a while. He went somewhere and just left a jade and a farewell message."
Zhang Yu knew, Du Xiong or rather the He family was willing to cooperate with the Zhang Clan because of the existence of his teacher. Didn't know how they would react when they found out that the teacher had left. But hiding this truth will only lead to conflict later on.
Du Xiong's face became serious when he heard that Zhang Yu had not seen his teacher for some time. He blinked twice then cleared his throat with a loud voice.
Ahem...
"That's not a problem. But can I see the message he left for you?"
Zhang Yu thought for a moment. The next second he took out a piece of paper written by his teacher's hand.
When he saw the message, it appeared that Du Xiong's pupils moved to glance at Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu realized that, but tried to remain silent and did not respond.
Du Xiong sighed then handed the paper to Zhang Yu. "From these words your teacher seems to be leaving because there is some business. It's likely that he'll come back to look for you, right?"
Zhang Yu smiled bitterly again. "I don't know for sure. But even if the teacher doesn't look for me, I'll go look for him."
Such a clear determination was seen in his eyes. It's not just about devotion. But also about the book of body cultivation.
"What about the jade?"
Zhang Yu actually had no intention of showing it all to Du Xiong. But looking at the insightful Du Xiong, it might be able to give him a clue through the teacher's purple jade relic.
"Uncle Fat, take a look. This is the jade that the teacher left behind."
Du Xiong's hand took the purple-colored jade. When he looked at it closer and took a peek at it, his forehead gradually shriveled and his face became serious.
"Zhang Yu, is this really the jade your teacher left behind?"
This question is somehow like finding something. Zhang Yu had high hopes for Du Xiong. "really. Do you know the origin of the jade, Fat Uncle?"
"Not just know. I've seen the exact same jade like this."
Zhang Yu's face was shining. "really? Can you tell me?"
Du Xiong suddenly sat cross-legged, he patted the ground surface asking Zhang Yu to also sit down with him.
"This kiss ...." Du Xiong explained everything he knew about the jade.
Zhang Yu listened carefully. She unceasingly nodded her head and rounded her mouth when something she had never known was told by Du Xiong.
Unconsciously fifteen minutes had passed. Zhang Yu looked at the purple jade in his hand and muttered softly. "It was unexpected that it turned out that the teacher was from the Imperial Academy. But I didn't know his name until now. How can I identify him?"
Du Xiong heard Zhang Yu's mutter and directly told him. "That's not gonna be hard. With your teacher's cultivation level, I think he belongs to the master teachers of the Imperial Academy. Quite known, the number of master teachers in the Imperial Academy was only five people. One of the five must be your teacher."
Zhang Yu stroked his chin. He now knew the identity of his teacher was a master teacher in the Imperial Academy. The greatest academy that exists in the Xuan Empire.
"Uncle Fat, where do you want to go?" Seeing Du Xiong rise Zhang Yu spontaneously stood up.
The fat old man laughed. "Haha ... I'm not going anywhere. I will remain in this city to review the resource mine before reporting it to the Great Lord."
"Instead, what are you going to do now? Are you going to Xue He City to find your teacher?"
Finding a teacher is the goal. But for now the condition of the Zhang Clan was still alarming. There are thorns in the flesh that are dangerous. If not immediately removed it would be an unimaginable problem.
"Uncle Fat, I won't interfere with your time anymore. I'll be back first." Zhang Yu darted away while keeping his teacher's purple jade relic.
He did not know why his teacher had left the jade behind. Could it be that he had deliberately sought her out to the Imperial Academy?
Haiyan...
It seemed like talking about his teacher would be endless. Better go home and see what Sun does.
This one week the Sun showed unusual signs of development. He consumed the resource crystal that Zhang Yu brought home and awakened his power.
It only took four days for Sun to become a first-rate spiritual beast that possessed the equivalent strength of an eight-star beginner level. Zhang Yu couldn't wait to go home and see how things were going now.
