Chapter 122: 96 Where to Find the Opportunity?

“Lord Xu, he… he…” Liu Tianming was utterly embarrassed.

“What happened to him?” Liu Tianzheng frowned.

Liu Tianming: “He brought in more than ten girls, wanting to enter, whether offering food or whatever, they all need to strip naked, causing the whole Liu Clan to be fraught with shady scenes… Now many people are raising objections.”

Liu Tianzheng’s expression turned rather grim.

I knew this Lord Xu was no good man, but I still hadn’t expected him to go this far.

“Let’s have a look!”

Knowing the matter involved his daughter, Liu Tianzheng strode over and soon arrived at the entrance of a small courtyard.

The courtyard gate was tightly shut. Liu Tianzheng knocked, and with a creak, it slowly opened. A girl cautiously poked her head out. She mostly hid behind the door, but the exposed parts of her body were entirely nude.

“Clan head…”

Seeing that it was him, the girl was startled, hurriedly let go of her hands, and stood straight—indeed wearing nothing.

With a face of iron blue, Patriarch Liu pushed the door and entered. Even before fully stepping into the courtyard, a series of moaning sounds were already audible. Without getting closer, one could tell what was happening.

Suppressing the fury in his heart, Liu Tianzheng bowed with hands clasped: “Lord Xu, a subordinate discovered someone resembling the Mandate Chaos Master you described, and specially came to report!”

“Similar?”

The “smack smack!” sounds in the courtyard suddenly stopped, followed by Lord Xu’s surprised voice.

“Yes!”

Liu Tianzheng nodded.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Similar, then it’s not the one! I’ve told you before, Mandate Chaos Masters are rare. How coincidental it would be for you just to come across one. Don’t be overly nervous, worrywart.”

The “smack smack!” sounds continued.

“But… many things about the other party are indeed uncommon. I hope you can take this seriously!” Liu Tianzheng continued.

“Alright, I got it, you wait outside for a while, I’ll come out soon!”

Lord Xu seemed a bit impatient, and in the next moment, the “smack smack!” sounds noticeably sped up, with the intermittent moaning also becoming more urgent.

“Absurd! Truly absurd!”

Liu Tianzheng was about to explode with anger.

I knew from the first meeting that this guy was unreliable, somewhat frivolous, but I never knew he could be this frivolous.

I even mentioned the Mandate Chaos Master, yet he still had the mindset to speed up… Can such a person truly represent Heaven Mandate Hall?

Turning his head to look at the First Elder, Liu Tianmin, he was about to discuss how to approach the issue soon when he saw the other’s face turn slightly red, embarrassedly looking over: “Quite the stamina…”

“???”

Liu Tianzheng was stunned.

Is stamina what I wanted to talk about?

As the rapid sounds persisted for more than ten minutes just when Liu Tianzheng couldn’t help but marvel at the stamina, Lord Xu’s voice finally called from inside: “Elder Liu, come in!”

Taking a deep breath, Liu Tianzheng stepped in swiftly.

Inside the room, the large bed, unknown when, had been moved out, seating several girls, thinly clothed, lying with flushed faces, their shoulders and thighs exposed, while Lord Xu himself sat at the edge of the bed, bare-chested, with his trousers and shoes already worn.

“What’s going on?”

While dressing, Lord Xu looked over.

Knowing that the person in front of him, though absurd, still represented the Heaven Mandate Hall, Liu Tianzheng bowed: “Reporting to Lord Xu, after you mentioned the Mandate Chaos Master, I recalled a Miscellaneous Duties Teacher who emerged recently, his talents equally bizarre and somewhat resembling what you described.”

Lord Xu, curious, “Oh? Where’s the strangeness?”

Liu Tianzheng replied, “Three days ago he was still a coachman, not even knowing where the Source Pool is, yet today, having just clashed with him, he already possesses cultivation not inferior to mine! Not only that, but yesterday he also drained an entire Destiny Plate in one breath!”

“Three days… to have cultivation not inferior to yours?”

Liu Tianzheng’s pupils narrowed, gone was the earlier contempt, his eyes now squinted: “Draining the Destiny Plate, what’s that about? Tell me in detail!”

“It was like this, yesterday I bought a perfect Destiny Plate from Baiyan Academy, to test it for those registering at the Merchants…”

Without hesitating too much, Liu Tianzheng detailed the events of yesterday.

“A person, in less than a quarter of an hour, completely devoured over ten thousand strands of Heavenly Mandate Vitality. Even his horse can absorb Yuan Power?” Lord Xu widened his eyes.

“Yes…”

Liu Tianzheng nodded.

Lord Xu: “Some powerful Fate Masters can absorb Heavenly Mandate Vitality, but it seems not this fast! And even horses can absorb it, indeed something is off. Does this fellow have any other peculiarities?”

Liu Tianzheng pondered then said: “The Chen Clan employed him as an honorary elder likely due to his Horse Taming talent; School Head Lu hired him as a teacher, his impartation of knowledge seems quite good, quickly doubling the students’ abilities in a short time! As for other peculiarities… I’m not sure yet.”

“Good at Horse Taming, absorbing Heavenly Mandate Vitality, inherently strange talents… Just these three aspects alone are enough! Even if this guy isn’t a Mandate Chaos Master, he most certainly has a deep connection with them.”

Lord Xu waved his hand decisively.

Originally thinking I just came here to casually handle the task, never in my dreams did I expect that in such a remote place, such a monster would actually appear…

Liu Tianzheng: “My lord, what do we do now?”

After pondering for a moment, Xu Xin said, “Lord Ling is currently not in Heaven Mandate Hall, and the place he went to is very far from here. Even if we send a message now, it would still take him three days to arrive. Here’s what I will do — I’ll head over first to assess the situation. If it turns out to be as you said, possibly a Mandate Chaos Master, I will inform the lord and let him make a decision!”

Seeing that he would go in person, Liu Tianzheng was relieved. It seemed that this key figure was somewhat reliable. Moved, he remembered something and bowed with his fists clasped: “Lord Xu, there’s another matter that I need to report and apologize for in advance!”

Xu Xin looked over: “Oh?”

Liu Tianzheng gritted his teeth: “This suspected Mandate Chaos Master is a teacher at Baiyan Academy, and my daughter, who just started her practice and is inexperienced, has somehow been deceived by him, and taken in as a student… Lord Xu, my daughter Liu Mingyue, really isn’t aware of his true identity or his purpose. She is not colluding with him, and if it turns out that he has indeed done something wrong, I hope you can give Yue’er a chance…”

“Mandate Chaos Masters are adept at deception; I know that. Don’t worry, if it comes to that, I won’t only not blame her, but as long as she is willing to report him, she will be rewarded!”

Xu Xin waved a hand.

“Thank you, my lord!” Liu Tianzheng quickly bowed with his fists clasped.

Xu Xin: “Alright, you may leave for now. I’ll meet you in the guest hall in half a short hour!”

“Yes!”

Liu Tianzheng nodded, leading Liu Tianming out of the courtyard. They hadn’t gone far when they again heard the successive “slap, slap!” sounds coming from the yard.

“What strength!”

Liu Tianzheng also sighed. If he had had that strength back in the day, perhaps Mingyue’s mother wouldn’t have left with someone else!

Back then, because he loved her, he let her do as she pleased, which perhaps was too much freedom…

Half a short hour later, in the Liu Clan guest hall, Xu Xin, having tidied up his garments, indeed arrived.

“Should I reveal your identity directly in a while, or should I inconvenience you to pretend to be my friend…” Liu Tianzheng asked for instructions.

“Since his power is not too high, there’s no need for all these complications. Start with friend, and when the opportunity is right, reveal the true identity. If he gets scared and runs away upon hearing it, there’s definitely a problem! If there’s no issue, and he can greatly absorb Heavenly Mandate Vitality, he might even have the talent of a Fate Master, a person that even I would like to befriend.”

Xu Xin said.

…

“Young master, what do you need me to do now? I’ll do it immediately!”

Feeling steady and able to move freely, Sun Qiang came over with a smile.

As a servant, his role was always clear: when it was time to work, he never slacked off. Mistress, young master, and the misses were not around, only bringing him meant the purpose was very straightforward.

“My current situation is like this…”

Zhang Xuan thoroughly explained his situation and concluded, “If I want to settle down quickly in the Source World, I need to have enough Origin Currency, and I have no way to earn money. You think of something fast!”

“No matter which world, making money is never easy…”

Sun Qiang grimaced.

If it were easy, there wouldn’t be swindling on the Master Teacher Continent.

After thinking for a moment, Sun Qiang said, “However, we can replicate what we did on the Master Teacher Continent, when the young master pretended to be a master teacher…”

“Pretend to be a master teacher?” Zhang Xuan looked puzzled.

“Yes!”

Sun Qiang nodded. “Since they say that in this world, Fate Masters are the most powerful, the young master can totally pretend to be a Fate Master and swindle money. It won’t be too bad… Back then, I just took a hammer and smashed their favorite sculpture…”

Zhang Xuan: “…”

He had almost forgotten about that.

Back then, when he pretended to be “Yang Xuan,” even the butler was completely fooled. But was that really deceit? He had actually helped them resolve all their problems, hadn’t he?

“Let’s find the right opportunity! Otherwise, suddenly showing up as a Fate Master might easily arouse suspicion…”

Zhang Xuan did not agree immediately.

Having the Library of Heaven’s Path, pretending to be an expert held no pressure, but firstly, he didn’t know much about Fate Masters. If the other party lacked the ability to provide breakthrough guidance or treat hidden illnesses, wouldn’t his cover be blown immediately?

Secondly, there was no suitable opportunity yet.

From what he knew, Fate Masters always stayed in Heaven Mandate Hall. Opportunities to appear in a small place like Baiyan City were rare. To make people believe and willingly give money, a proper chance was necessary.

And since it was called an opportunity, it wasn’t that easy to come by.

Headache!

Thump thump thump!

While pondering, he heard the sound of knocking at the door.

“Who is it?”

Zhang Xuan frowned.

“Zhang laoshi, Patriarch Liu Liu Tianzheng is here to visit!”

The voice of Liu Tianzheng sounded.

“Didn’t this guy just leave? Why is he back so soon?”

With furrowed brows, Zhang Xuan wore a puzzled expression.
