Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 728 - Clever
The few Chu Clan disciples who were following Chu Bai were looking at Zhang En with barely hidden astonishment, wondering about his identity.
Although Zhang En had attended the celebratory banquet held by their Chu Clan Patriarch back then, these disciples had not seen him back then.
Due to Chu Bai's presence, Maung Li saw this all in surprise.
Chu Bai was one of the most talented disciples belonging to the Ancient Clan, the Chu Clan in terms of cultivation talent, so it was certain that someone like Maung Li's disciple knew about him.
Although his Master was one of the Great Elders of the Alchemist Union, as his disciple, Maung Li's status and identity were naturally higher than most disciples. However, compared to Chu Bai, he could only be second and behind him.
Zhang En nodded at Chu Bai, replying, “Yes, I came here to participate in the Alchemist Competition. You too, right?"
Chu Bai smiled, shaking his head, “Although my cultivation talent is not bad, the alchemy talent I possess is mediocre, perhaps only slightly better than that of an average ordinary disciple, so I better not embarrass myself to come.”
At this moment, the young man standing near Chu Bai spoke, "Bai'er, who is he?"
Chu Bai quickly introduced Zhang En, "Sister Zhang, this is my Big Brother, Chu Pai." Then he went on to introduce his other friends. After which, Chu Bai said to Chu Pai, "This one is the winner of the first rank during the God Battle Competition, Zhang En!"
Those who heard what Chu Bai said could not help but feel shocked, including Ting Shin and Maung Li.
The previous shopkeeper serving Zhang En was covered in cold sweat, he almost kicked the figure that the Battle God could tell out of this shop. While the two jumbo-chested women in Maung Li's arms suddenly looked at Zhang En with interest, as if they were about to swallow Zhang En round and round.
A second later, Chu Pai cupped his fists, greeting Zhang En with a smile, “So, this is Young Master Zhang. I've heard Zhang's brother's name, today's meeting is completely unexpected.”
The other Chu Clan disciples also cupped their fists and greeted Zhang En.
Zhang En countered by cupping his fist as a greeting towards Chu Bai and the others.
"Sister Zhang, before what happened??" Chu Bai could not help but ask, his gaze sweeping across Maung Li.
Maung Li took a step forward, showing a bright smile, “Nothing, just a small misunderstanding. Right, Brother Zhang?”
Zhang En replied, “I don't think it was a small misunderstanding. Besides, who's your sister?”
Maung Li's face turned ugly in a split second, anger flashed in the depths of his eyes. He had not expected Zhang En to not give him face when he had already placed himself in a lower position, calling him big brother.
Even though Zhang En was the champion at the God Battle Competition, Maung Li actually did not put Zhang En in his eyes. Just now, he was being humble just because of Chu Bai's presence, trying to clear up any misunderstandings.
Maung Li glared at Zhang En, saying, “Zhang En, do you think that winning the Battle of the Gods means you are so great? I can't believe your alchemist abilities are as good as your cultivation talent!" Then yell at the two women on the left and right, "Cih....! Let's get out of here.!"
Before leaving, Maung Li took the time to cupped his fists to Chu Bai, Chu Pai, and the other Chu Clan disciples and left.
Chu Bai turned towards Zhang En with a smile on his face, “Sister Zhang, have you come to rent a flying car? We just hired some, where are you headed? How about we travel together?”
Zhang En did not hide the fact that he was indeed planning to hire a flying carriage to head for the Alchemist Union Building.
Hearing this, Chu Bai's smile widened, "It's good, we plan to go there as well." He then invited Zhang En to join them.
Therefore, Zhang En climbed one of the flying chariots that Chu Bai's group had rented, left the shop together and headed to the Alchemist Union building.
The space inside the flying carriage was quite large, it was still spacious and comfortable even with three people inside.
On the way, Chu Bai, Zhang En and Chu Pai who boarded one flying carriage, spent time with small talk.
Chu Bai began, “Sister Zhang, I heard the troops of the Sky Tower Sect are looking for you everywhere. Xu Lang's teacher, Mou Li, is also one of the Great Elders in the Alchemist Union, since you are here in this Lousan City, you must be careful. Also, although Maung Li was nothing to be afraid of, the friendship between his Master and Mou Li was very close.! "
This caused a frown to appear between Zhang En's brows.
He had not expected that there would be such a coincidence between Master Maung Li and Mou Li.
While Zhang En's group was on their way to the Alchemist Unity Building, inside one of the Alchemist Unity halls, Mou Li received a report from his subordinates, sneering, scoffing, “Zhang En it really has the guts to get into the dragon nest. ”
"Sir, since he's already in this city, should we...?" The disciple standing behind Mou Li, Xu Yi asked as he made a gesture of cutting the line on his neck.
Mou Li tilted her head, "Making her die easily is a special thing, you just said that she is heading to the Alchemist Union Building, right? "
"real Teacher. He was with Chu Bai, Chu Pai, and a few disciples of the Chu Clan." Xu Yi quickly replied respectfully.
Mou Li instructed in a sullen voice, “From my investigation, I found that this Zhang En has not been a member of our Alchemist Union in this Ghuang World. Since he was heading there, most likely he was planning to get the alchemist mark.”
Then continued, “Because like that, I will force him to be unable to pass the assessment in front of countless people, and will become a laughingstock throughout the entire Intermediate Realm!"
Hearing this, Xu Yi trembled with excitement, “Teacher is really very ingenious, this way is much better than just taking his life. But Zhang En was an Elder of the Alchemist Association branch of Xin World, moreover, he had won first place in the alchemist competition at that time, which showed that his alchemy refining skills were not low. If it was only in general judgment, it would not pose any difficulty to him. Also, he and his Master, can be said to have a grudge against you. His teacher was that Kun Master!"
Mou Li sneered, “Master Kun? A boy taught by that man would not have any alchemist skills. Even that Master Kun and Ancestral Master Zhang En are no match for me, let alone Zhang En? Well, if it's like this, ask the people in charge of alchemist assessment to increase the difficulty of the exam.”
Mou Li gave some more instructions to Xu Yi before telling him to leave.
Xu Yi bowed respectfully, an evil sneer on his face, “Alright Master, this disciple will pass on your instructions to the Examiner Elder.” He then left the hall.
