"Come out! Your Excellency has been peeking for so long, haven't you seen enough?"
After Tiedan left, Li Zexuan did not leave immediately. He put his hands behind his back and said lightly to the air.
Quiet, quiet!
It seemed that Li Zexuan heard wrongly.
After three breaths, Li Zexuan still didn't leave, just stood there firmly.
"Haha! Marquis Yong'an is so keenly alert! A certain family was noticed not long after they arrived. I admire you! I admire you~!"
From the big tree behind Li Zexuan, a man suddenly jumped down. Who else could it be if he wasn't a bearded man?
"Ha! Is this also the case when senior visits Duke Wei's house?"
Li Zexuan turned around, looked at the bearded guest and sneered.
"Well……"
The bearded man was speechless. He was a pirate, but he was not a thief! How could he do this kind of sneaky, "gentleman-like" thing so often?
"Hmph! And as far as I know, senior came to the academy early today, right?"
Li Zexuan exposed the lies of the bearded guest without mercy.
In fact, when he was teaching Tai Chi to his students in the morning, he felt a little uncomfortable, as if he was being watched.
In modern times, people often joke that if looks could kill, so-and-so would definitely die miserably.
In this life, at this moment, Li Zexuan truly realized the power of eyes.
"Cough cough cough cough!"
The lie was exposed, and the bearded man was immediately embarrassed. However, his face did not turn red at all, mainly because his face was dark and it was not easy to see if he was red.
"Zhang was so happy when he saw that Yong'an Hou's boxing technique was quite magical, that he couldn't help but take a second look!"
The bearded guest explained awkwardly.
"Haha~! Then senior, have you ever heard that - the Tao is not taught to non-human beings, and the law is not transmitted to the six ears? No matter how exquisite my Tai Chi is, it is not very good for senior to secretly steal my master like this, right?"
Li Zexuan refused to give in. He was very angry at the sudden intrusion of the bearded guest. Yanhuang Academy was his hard work. He would not allow people with strong martial arts skills to treat this place as his own back garden. He could come and leave as he pleased!
"This... Marquis Yong'an, you have taught Tai Chi to so many people, a certain family..."
In any era, people who steal their master's skills are looked down upon by people in the world. The bearded man didn't want to be labeled like this, so he defended himself with his eyes widened.
"Hmph! The people I passed on to you are all people from Yanhuang Academy. Did you ever say that you want to pass it on to outsiders?"
Li Zexuan sneered when he heard this.
The bearded man's expression froze, and he was immediately speechless. Taking something without telling him was stealing. He studied on his own without others' permission, which is no different from stealing from a teacher!
"Hey, you can't say that! A certain family came to see Marquis Yong'an today just to tell you that a certain family has decided to become the guards of Yanhuang Academy. In this way, they are not considered outsiders, right?"
Suddenly, the beard's eyes lit up and he said with a smile.
Li Zexuan remained calm on his face, but he was surprised in his heart. He never imagined that a bearded guest would sacrifice his freedom for a year for a mere chart. Is this really worth it?
"Senior, have you really thought about it?"
Li Zexuan looked at the bearded guest intently and asked in a deep voice.
"Of course, a certain family always says the same thing!"
The bearded man replied with certainty.
In fact, Li Zexuan had a misunderstanding. The reason why his bearded guest agreed to such a demanding request was that, in addition to the sea map, more importantly, he saw the hope of breakthrough from Yanhuang Academy, Tai Chi, and Li Zexuan. He has been at the half-step grandmaster realm for several years.
To a certain extent, Qiubeard's situation is very similar to Cheng Chumo's. Both of them are people who have all their abilities but cannot use them in the right place. The Tai Chi yin and yang theory that Li Zexuan just told Cheng Chumo suddenly made the bearded man who had no hope of breaking through suddenly see the slightest hope of breakthrough, so he agreed to Li Zexuan to join Yanhuang Academy.
Although it's a bit unpleasant to be a guard and say it out loud, it's all worth it for the breakthrough.
Don't think it's an exaggeration, because ordinary people will never understand a top master's desire to break through. Especially in today's Central Plains martial arts world, there is only one great master left, and the bearded man is eager to find some "sense of presence."
"Senior, don't you feel that being a guard in the academy is a bit unfair to your status?"
Li Zexuan asked calmly.
"Huh? Aggrieved? That's not necessarily true, right?"
If it were left in the past, the bearded guest would definitely feel that becoming a guard at Yanhuang Academy would weaken his prestige. However, after these few days of contact, he discovered that Yanhuang Academy is a real place where crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and ordinary people would never think of it. In a small Yunshan Mountain, there will be a peak master, a mid-level master (whose combat power is close to the peak of the master), and thirty or forty masters in the Qi Transformation realm? This strength can be regarded as the strength of a superior sect when looking at the world!
But don’t forget, Yunshan is not a Jianghu sect, it is an academic place, and this is the most deceptive thing! When the bearded guest was beaten to the ground two days ago, he complained in his heart, "You said you are a teaching place, why are you hiding so many masters?" He failed to show off and was raped instead, calling Li Zexuan such a trick!
"Don't worry, Marquis Yong'an. Since the certain family has agreed to be a guard at Yanhuang Academy, they will definitely fulfill their duties. If anyone comes to Yunshan to cause trouble in the future without opening his eyes, the certain family will teach him how to behave without the help of Marquis Yong'an!"
The bearded guest was a little worried that Li Zexuan would not agree, so he quickly expressed his stance solemnly.
In the eyes of many people, it is embarrassing for him, the bearded guest, to be a guard at Yanhuang Academy, but what he wants now is that he is a top master who is a half-step grandmaster. If he wants to be a guard for Yanhuang Academy and is rejected, wouldn't it be even worse? Shameful?
"Okay! Since senior insists on this, then on behalf of Yanhuang Academy, I welcome you to join! Senior, just call me Shanzhang like everyone else from now on!"
Li Zexuan thought about it seriously and found that this matter would be of no harm to him, so he smiled at the bearded guest and said.
"Haha! From now on, Chief Mountain Chief, you can just call someone Zhang San! In terms of strength alone, you and I should be equals!"
Zhang Zhongjian's surname is Zhang Xingsan. He has a red beard like a Qiu, so he is nicknamed "Qiu Bearded Guest". Only a few people would call him Zhang San.
In the world of martial arts, strength has always been important, not age. Li Zexuan was already a mid-level master at a young age, and he was fully worthy of being on the same level as his bearded master.
"No, I'll call you Mr. Zhang San! In addition to being a guard of the academy, I hope you can also serve as a martial arts instructor in the academy. If there are students in the academy who are keen on martial arts and want to ask you for martial arts lessons, I hope you can You don’t hesitate to teach me!”
