Chapter 97: Opportunity Delivered to the Door
"Go hide in the room. Don't come out unless necessary!" Zhang Xuan instructed Sun Qiang before turning and walking towards the door. He opened it to find Liu Tianzheng standing with a stranger, a young man about his age with a gloomy expression that suggested he wasn't easy to get along with.
However, Zhang Xuan wasn't concerned about that. He clasped his hands in greeting and said, "If you're here to persuade Liu Mingyue to go home, I'm afraid I can't help. You'll have to talk to her directly."
Liu Tianzheng shook his head. "Teacher Zhang, you misunderstand. I'm not here for that. This friend of mine heard about you and came specifically to consult with you on some matters."
Zhang Xuan looked puzzled. What could anyone possibly need to consult him about? He had been keeping a low profile since he started cultivating. After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head. "I'm sorry, but if it's just something trivial, I'll have to decline. I'm quite busy today and don't have the time."
As if expecting this response, Liu Tianzheng pulled out a stack of Source Coins and handed them over. "Teacher Zhang, please don't refuse so hastily. I was wrong to insist on taking Mingyue home earlier and to raise my hand against you. I sincerely apologize and hope you can understand the concerns of a father. To express my regret, I've brought 50,000 Source Coins as a token of my apology."
"Do you think a little money can make me agree to answer your questions?" Zhang Xuan raised an eyebrow but then quickly nodded. "Yes, I can accept that."
He took the Source Coins, counted them, and pocketed them with satisfaction. Smiling, he gestured towards the inside, "Please, Liu Clan Head and your friend, come in!"
As a teacher respected by the world, maintaining dignity was important, but there was no need to turn down money. Not when it was practically being handed to him.
