One Day, a Disciple Discovered a Secret About the Patriarch!

Kong Xiuping kept reflecting on Zhang Yang's words, feeling deeply shaken.

Because, as Zhang Yang said, he actually didn't know what he wanted.

From a young age, he learned from his father.

He did whatever his father told him to do.

Because his father was the lord of the Holy Land, a Tribulation Realm expert, one of the few in the world to achieve this.

So how could he possibly disobey his father?

So when his father told him to kneel before Azure Cloud Master, he did; when his father told him to marry Situ Mingyue, he did; when his father told him to learn from Zhang Yang, he did...

He acted passively in all of this.

"So what do I really want?"

Kong Xiuping examined this problem but found that he couldn't figure it out for the time being.

However, he has already discovered the problem; if he just goes to look for it, he will definitely be able to find it.

"Thank you for your guidance, Brother Zhang!"

Kong Xiuping stood up and bowed deeply, almost touching the floor.

This was a very solemn ceremony for scholars.

Zhang Yang accepted the bow without hesitation, then said to Kong Xiuping, "It's useless for you to stay in Azure Cloud City until you have 'Zheng Xin and made your intentions sincere.' You can return to Langya Sacred Land now."

When you return, please give my regards to the Sage Master!

Also, stop coveting my junior sister.

I'm telling you plainly, there's no way my junior sister will marry into another sect.

Speaking of this, Kong Xiuping's expression fell again.

However, after his mind opened up, his whole demeanor changed, and he was no longer as dejected and speechless as before.

He looked up at Zhang Yang with a strange expression and asked, "So, that child...?"

"Of course the child is fake!" Zhang Yang said bluntly. "But if you keep bothering my junior sister, I'll go and have a child for her right now."

You know I'm capable of doing it!

If you still covet my junior sister then, I can beat you up openly and honestly!

And you even got beaten up and you still didn't talk back!

Kong Xiuping was utterly speechless.

He knew perfectly well that Zhang Yang was capable of such things; was there anything he couldn't do?

"Brother Zhang, I admire you!" Kong Xiuping bowed again, then took his leave and departed from the Azure Cloud Sect.

Zhang Yang watched Kong Xiuping leave.

He hoped that the kid had truly understood, so that he could complete the task assigned by the Sage Master, and also to prevent the kid from bothering him every day.

At the Azure Cloud Peak, Azure Cloud Master silently sealed the video of Zhang Yang instructing Kong Xiuping Zhang Yang Talisman.

Since the Sage Master's son stayed in the Azure Cloud Sect, Azure Cloud Master naturally had to pay attention to him.

He was actually a little worried that Zhang Yang was going too far in Kong Xiuping with Kong Xiuping, and that he would have to step in and stop him if necessary.

He hadn't expected that Zhang Yang would actually give Kong Xiuping some pointers.

Moreover, he had recently discussed the Dao with the Sage Master and witnessed the Sage Master's brilliance.

However, he felt that the scene of Zhang Yang instructing Kong Xiuping was no less than Sage Master preaching.

Such precious footage could very well be considered one of the core treasures of the Azure Cloud Sect.

Because when other Azure Cloud Sect disciples rediscover it later, it might enlighten their minds.

He even included the last part, the Zhang Yang claim that he wanted to have a child for Situ Mingyue.

Because he felt that many years later, when one of his disciples saw this passage, his expression would be quite something!

Meanwhile, Kong Xiuping returned to the Langya Academy, began packing his things, and then went to bid farewell to Kong Shan.

Kong Shan was completely bewildered and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go home!" Kong Xiuping replied.

Kong Shan was even more confused. Wasn't this kid the one most afraid of going home?

Because he failed to fulfill the Sage Master's orders, he'll likely get a beating when he gets home. What on earth has gotten into this kid?

"Have you thought it through?" Kong Shan asked uncertainly.

Kong Xiuping laughed and said, "Uncle Shan, I've figured it out, but there are some things I haven't figured out yet. I need to go home and think about them carefully!"

"I'll come back to Azure Cloud City once I've figured things out."

After saying this, he left Langya Academy and returned to the Langya Sacred Land.

Kong Shan watched Kong Xiuping's departing figure, his heart filled with disbelief.

This kid looked incredibly dejected just a few days ago, but now he seems to have let go of all his worries.

Moreover, why did he feel that this kid seemed quite different?

His gaze involuntarily turned towards the Azure Cloud Sect.

During the two days Kong Xiuping disappeared, he was heading to Azure Cloud Peak.

What exactly happened on Azure Cloud Peak?

Does this mean my wish has been fulfilled?

Or did Azure Cloud Master give him some guidance?

Kong Shan didn't think Zhang Yang could accomplish such a thing, because it had an enlightening effect on one's Dao Heart —how could a mere Nascent Soul do that?

At this moment, Kong Shan also felt a sense of awe towards the mountains of the Azure Cloud Sect.

He felt it was necessary to pay a visit to the Azure Cloud Sect.

Of course, although it's just a mountain up and down, whether he can ascend to the Azure Cloud Sect depends on whether the Azure Cloud Sect is willing to let him.

However, he decided to first send a visiting card to the Azure Cloud Guesthouse, just in case he could pay a visit to the Azure Cloud Sect.

However, his visiting card disappeared without a trace after it was sent to the Azure Cloud Guesthouse.

Since he was to visit Azure Cloud Master, Azure Cloud Master felt there was no need to see him, and naturally the matter was dropped.

A day later, Kong Xiuping had returned to the Langya Sacred Land.

When the Sage Master saw his son return, he was taken aback for a moment, then instantly drew his Disciplinary Ruler and looked at Kong Xiuping with a smile.

He thought to himself, "If I don't teach you something powerful, you probably won't be able to attain enlightenment!"

"Father, don't act yet!" Kong Xiuping said hurriedly. "I understand what you mean, so I don't need to stay in Azure Cloud City any longer. I have some things to think about since I've come back!"

The Sage Master was taken aback. Was this his son?

In the past, his son would have obediently stood there and taken the beating...

Now, you've actually learned to argue back?

"Tell me first, what exactly have you figured out!"

The Sage Master looked at Kong Xiuping with a meaningful smile, the Disciplinary Ruler lightly tapping his palm, the threat unmistakable.

Kong Xiuping felt a chill in his heart. After being hit by the Disciplinary Ruler last time, he realized how painful it really was!

In the past, he certainly wouldn't have dared to speak up; he could only take the beating because it was his father beating him, and how could he dare to argue back?

Now... not wanting to be beaten, he naturally started thinking of a solution.

"Father, I know you have high expectations for me!" Kong Xiuping said eagerly, "I am dull-witted and have not been able to understand your meaning for a long time, which has disappointed you for so long."

This time, after Zhang Yang's guidance, I finally understand that what I need to learn from my father is not just... noble character and unparalleled Supreme Lore, but also all other aspects of life! Since I need to learn other things from my father, I must naturally return to his side to truly learn."

When the Sage Master heard that Zhang Yang had given him guidance, and considering that his son's attitude was also different from before, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Looks like this blockhead has finally figured it out!

He sat down, put away the Disciplinary Ruler, and asked, "What else did Zhang Yang say?"

"He said you're despicable and shameless!" Kong Xiuping was almost afraid to look at his father.

The Sage Master roared in fury, "Bullshit!"
