Chapter 1611 - 591: You’re My Boss? (3)

The Green Robed Buddha, Li Changxun, and the Eternal Life Sect Leader all followed, offering their congratulations.

However, Zhou Xuan’s expression was not as calm as an ancient well, yet there was certainly no sense of overwhelming joy.

He shook his head and said, "Alas, Tianchi Pill Master, I am Dan Zheng, you are the Dan Master; henceforth, am I to be your subordinate?"

The Tianchi appeared frightened, constantly waving his hand, repeatedly saying, "Zhou Dan Zheng, the rank sometimes has nothing to do with ability but only with seniority,

Although your position is lower than mine, in terms of ability, I dare not assume superiority. I dare not call myself your superior."

The humility and refusal in these words caused those around them to feel dazed—could it be that in Bai Yujing, Dan Zheng’s status is higher than that of a Dan Master?

Otherwise, why would this person, second only to Mr. Ding, be so humble towards Zhou Xuan, not daring to even admit to rank?

The people couldn’t grasp the reasoning behind "Dan Master not daring to surpass Dan Zheng,"

Only Zhu Zhenggang felt that the Tianchi Pill Master’s attitude was appropriate,

He couldn’t help but stroke his beard, laughing coldly,

"Tianchi Pill Master, it’s fortunate for you to be humble before Zhou Dan Zheng, not daring to act superior. If you had proclaimed your superiority over Zhou Dan Zheng,

no doubt, the Palace Masters of the Four Great Divine Palaces would criticize you for being disrespectful to Zhou Dan Zheng."

Having said that, his stern expression immediately softened, cautiously stepping forward to Zhou Xuan, enthusiastically offered a handshake,

This firm handshake bore a sense of gratitude, a feeling so full that, had it been more intense, Zhu Zhenggang might have been driven to tears.

He nodded heavily, enthusiastically saying, "Zhou Dan Zheng, today, you are our Four Great Divine Palaces’ esteemed teacher of doctrine,

Your Taoist calligraphy appearing, all of our Four Great Divine Palaces were enlightened... Alas... Where is that calligraphy?"

Though Zhu Zhenggang was grateful, his eyes were searching the vicinity, looking for the whereabouts of that calligraphy,

The daughter knows the father best,

Zhu Fuyao immediately pointed out her father’s intention, saying, "Father, your eyes are like brown rats in a gutter; you are, after all, the Master of a Palace, the Demon-slaying General of Jade Capital. How can your gaze be so sneaky?

Look, the calligraphy is over there."

"Where, where." Zhu Zhenggang didn’t have time to reprimand his daughter, following Zhu Fuyao’s guidance, glanced over, and immediately saw the original "Breaking Qiang Stele" calligraphy,

"Apologies, Zhou Dan Zheng, excuse me for a moment."

Zhu Zhenggang seemed possessed, his eyes only on that piece of calligraphy, murmuring, "What a great piece, what a great piece, no wonder Yujing today, tens of thousands in the city, are all infatuated with this piece," as he stiffly made his way over,

And the Eternal Life Sect Leader and others, from Zhu Zhenggang’s foolish words and speech, realized—no wonder today’s Zhou Xuan was so valued by Jade Capital,

"So it’s Dan Zheng’s calligraphy that became an overnight sensation in Jade Capital."

The Eternal Life Sect Leader also stood on tiptoes, wanting to see the calligraphy,

He wasn’t someone who fancied literature and art, unable to discern much significance,

The Tiancan Monk also couldn’t understand, but he could see Zhou Xuan’s current influence.

"Oh my goodness, Sect Leader, though you played tricks preventing me from seeing what nearly first-grade elixirs look like—still—I must thank you."

Tiancan Monk was clear on "rights and wrongs," saying, "If not for you, Sect Leader, how else could I connect with Dan Zheng?

Our Zhou Dan Zheng is formidable, loved by both the Tianchi Pill Master and Master Zhu,

Following Zhou Dan Zheng, who among the God-level beings of the Heavenly Dome would dare disrespect us—bah, not just those God-level beings, but even the Heavenly Fire Clan, Qing Yangyu, they too must treat us well."

Tiancan Monk’s imagination ran wild,

But the Eternal Life Sect Leader placed an arm around the Tiancan Monk’s shoulder, saying, "Old Can, you really don’t understand—do you think the ones supporting our Zhou Dan Zheng are just Master Zhu and Tianchi Pill Master?

If so, you haven’t understood today’s situation."

"You understand, tell me more." Tiancan Monk said, quite unconvinced...
