Chapter 786: Chapter 789: Grandmaster Chapter 786: Chapter 789: Grandmaster A person in their forties or fifties actually knelt in front of all the students to a young man in his early twenties. This… this is too shocking, too astonishing. Everyone was baffled, everyone was dumbstruck.

Xiao Han’s face was filled with astonishment and embarrassment.

“You…” Xiao Han was at a loss for words.

“Grandmaster, please teach me the Internal Martial Art Heart Method!” The Mizong Quan Successor said with a mix of snot and tears, “The internal heart method was lost by the time it passed down to my father’s generation. Please… please have mercy, Grandmaster.”

“Damn it…” Xiao Han was going crazy inside. He’d only wanted to mess with the other guy, but he had taken it seriously without any hesitation. Could it be… Could it be that his own story actually matched up with the legends of the other’s ancestors? Damn it, I’m only twenty-one this year, for God’s sake, how could I have had any interaction with your ancestors a hundred years ago?

Xiao Han took a deep breath and hastily said, “Get up, we’ll talk about it later!”

“Yes, yes!” The Mizong Quan Successor hurriedly got up. Kneeling like that in front of so many people felt inappropriate to him. He quickly said, “Grandmaster, why don’t you… come back with me to Mount Huang after this? My Mizong Fist has established a school at the foot of Mount Huang and recruited over 300 disciples. It’s quite a large sect now!”

Upon hearing this, a look of bafflement flashed across Xiao Han’s heart. Over three hundred people and you dare to call yourself a Large Sect?

Back in the day, when Xuan Mingzi founded his sect, there were a hundred thousand disciples under Xuanzong. That could truly be called a Large Faction. Sadly, time flies, and the glory of Xuanzong is no more. Nowadays, not even a shadow of Xuanzong can be found.

“You don’t even know the Internal Martial Art Heart Method and you dare to start a faction?” Xiao Han asked with a laugh.

“This…” The other party also felt embarrassed and said, “The fire of Mizong Fist must not be extinguished. Now that I’ve met the grandmaster, that’s why I was so ecstatic and behaved inappropriately just now. I just ask that Grandmaster, for the sake of the ancient connection with my ancestors, please save Mizong Fist.”

“What do you mean ‘save it’ again?” Xiao Han said with a speechless face.

“We’ll talk later, I will explain it to the grandmaster afterwards!” The Mizong Quan Successor said hurriedly.

Xiao Han nodded slightly; with so many people around, it indeed wasn’t a good time to go into details. He turned and walked towards Huang Liang.

Seeing Xiao Han coming over, and noticing that the Mizong Quan Successor, this middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, had kneeled to Xiao Han without knowing what had happened, Huang Liang thought the situation was rather strange. Hence, he felt rather panicked inside.

“Xiao Han, you… what do you want to do!” Huang Liang asked anxiously.

“You lost!” Xiao Han said coldly, looking at Huang Liang.

“Here’s the card!” Huang Liang swallowed nervously and said, “There’s a million in it, the password is on the back of the card. I… I’m leaving!”

After saying this, Huang Liang prepared to sprint away.

“Stand still!” Xiao Han rebuked.

“What… what are you going to do now?!” Huang Liang looked at Xiao Han awkwardly.

“This time is just a warning,” Xiao Han said coldly, looking at Huang Liang, and then continued, “If you dare to do this again, I promise I’ll break your legs. Remember the lesson of Huang Xiaolong!”

At the mention of Huang Xiaolong, Huang Liang shuddered all over.

Last year, Xiao Han had broken Huang Xiaolong’s arm, and that memory was still vivid in his mind. The scene of the broken limb was horrifying. Huang Liang nodded repeatedly and said, “Okay, this… this ends here, I won’t bother you again!”

After speaking, Huang Liang turned and left, probably not daring to trouble Xiao Han again for a while after today’s lesson.

Huang Liang left quickly.

The scene erupted in cheers.

“Xiao Han!” Liu Yiyi ran over excitedly.

Xiao Han opened his arms and embraced Liu Yiyi, then said, “Sorry to worry you.”

“You scared me to death!” Liu Yiyi had a frightened-baby expression and said, “But I’m glad you’re alright, otherwise, I would have been so worried!”

Liu Yiyi, this simple and innocent girl, looked incredibly pretty when she smiled, her eyes sparkling like bright crescents, her eyebrows elegant and flowing.

“Damn, she really has something going on with Xiao Han!”

“Damn it, there goes my hopes!”

A lot of boys were devastated. Many girls were also looking on with envy.

“Grandmaster…” The Mizong Quan Successor watched Xiao Han awkwardly.

“Stop calling me grandmaster, I… I was just talking nonsense,” Xiao Han quickly explained.

“Yes, yes!” The Mizong Quan Successor nodded repeatedly and said, “Grandmaster, why don’t we… find a place to talk in detail?”

“You…” Upon hearing this, Xiao Han said with a wry smile, “I told you, I was just talking nonsense, why do you still believe it? You should just call me Xiao Han in the future. Otherwise, don’t blame me if I turn my back on you and don’t recognize you!”

“Okay, okay!” The Mizong Quan Successor thought Xiao Han was just trying to conceal his identity. In his eyes, Xiao Han had strong inner strength and such formidable power; he must possess some kind of face-changing ability. That’s why he claimed to be talking nonsense. He chuckled and said, “Xiao Han, let’s… find a place to talk, shall we?”

“Fine!” Xiao Han was helpless; being harangued by this old guy left him no choice. Holding Liu Yiyi’s hand, he said, “Yiyi, he wants to talk to me about something, how about I come find you later?”

“Sure!” Liu Yiyi was quite agreeable and quickly nodded in agreement.

The crowd of onlookers quickly dispersed. Many were astonished by Xiao Han’s performance today, proclaiming it otherworldly.

“Xiao Han, you’re freaking amazing!”

“Damn, hiding your light under a bushel!”

Zhang Feng and the others immediately gathered around. They completely ignored the Mizong Quan Successor and instead encircled Xiao Han, wishing they could lift him up and toss him into the sky to celebrate properly.

“You guys!” Xiao Han looked at them awkwardly.

“Hehe…” The group chuckled, then said, “With you being so powerful, and since you’ve earned another million today, don’t you think you should show some gratitude?”

“Alright, alright!” Xiao Han nodded and said, “Tonight at Hanmen Restaurant, we feast!”

“Damn straight, that’s what I was waiting for you to say!” They cheered upon hearing this.

“Leave me alone for now, you guys!” Xiao Han spoke up, “I’ve got something else to handle.”

After saying that, he decisively pulled the Mizong Quan Successor away with him.

The two walked toward the tree-lined paths within the campus.

“Spill it, what’s the matter?” Xiao Han asked.

“Sigh…” He sighed deeply, then said, “Grandmaster, I am the one hundred and eighth successor of the Mizong Quan…”
“I know!” Xiao Han said, exasperated. This fellow kept harping on about being the Mizong Quan Successor, really just an ordinary person.

“I…” He said awkwardly, “My name is Zhou Jianquan.”

“I haven’t noticed any disabilities; you do seem quite whole!” Xiao Han nodded.

Zhou Jianquan was speechless again and with a wry smile said, “Recently, the Mizong Sect was plotted against. Several of our disciples went missing, their bodies gutted and tossed at the entrance of our Mizong Sect. Even though I know who’s behind it, I… sadly lack the strength. I can only endure their trampling, but now that I’ve finally found you, I hope you could stand up for the Mizong Sect.”

“Crap, this tough job falls to me?” Xiao Han cursed when he heard this. “You old scoundrel, clearly playing someone else’s lackey to come after me, and now you want my help? What’s your angle here?”

“I…” Zhou Jianquan’s face was a picture of distress as he said, “I’m sorry, Grandmaster, I… I didn’t expect to encounter you. But, it’s also a stroke of luck that I did!”

“You…” Xiao Han grew more annoyed. Damn it, one moment he didn’t expect to encounter me, the next it’s lucky that he did. This is ridiculous.

Zhou Jianquan’s words seemed contradictory, but actually, they weren’t.

It was just like an old Chinese saying goes, “No discord, no concord.”

“Grandmaster, I can only plead with you.” Zhou Jianquan covered his old face and said, “I fear if I sought an outsider, they would say the Mizong Sect has no one. With you this time, there’s no need to fear their gossip!”

After considering it, Xiao Han initially felt that this matter had nothing to do with him. However, after giving it some thought, not only had he stolen someone else’s Mizong Quan, but he also took advantage of them, so it felt somewhat inappropriate not to help. Besides, hadn’t he always wanted to meet those so-called cultivation sects and see what they were really like?

“Fine!” Xiao Han nodded and said, “I’ll go, but…”
“You want a fee, right?” Zhou Jianquan quickly said, “No problem, I’ll give you… one million!”

“One million?” Xiao Han raised an eyebrow and said, “Your large faction can only spare me one million?”

“I…” Zhou Jianquan’s face showed his struggle, but he couldn’t speak.

Xiao Han quickly understood; they probably didn’t have much money at the Mizong Sect. Otherwise, why would the famed Mizong Quan Successor travel all the way from Anhui to be someone’s lapdog for just a few hundred thousand? It’d be a joke if word got out.

“Fine!” Xiao Han nodded, saying, “Since that’s the case, I’ll reluctantly agree to help.”

“Yes, yes!” Zhou Jianquan was overjoyed and proposed, “Why not set off today?”

“No, we’ll leave tomorrow!” Xiao Han declared, “You’ll need to cover my round-trip airfare!”

“No problem!” Zhou Jianquan immediately nodded in agreement.

After exchanging contact information, Xiao Han returned to his dormitory, while Zhou Jianquan went to the hotel. Zhou Jianquan was staying in a nearby hotel and had originally been funded by Huang Liang, who likely wouldn’t care about them after this debacle. Zhou Jianquan had received six hundred thousand from Huang Liang to come help, and what was supposed to be an easy task ended with him being beaten to a pulp. However, the misfortune turned into a blessing as he met Xiao Han.

Back at the dormitory.

Zhang Feng and the others were still discussing the recent events. Xiao Han had truly become a legend at Shuimu University.

“Damn, you’re back!” Zhang Feng said excitedly.

“What’s up?” Xiao Han asked.

“You’re on the campus headlines!” Liu Bin opened his computer and laughed, “You, my friend, are trending!”

“Trending my ass!” Xiao Han dismissed, then said, “What’s there to pay attention to.”

“I heard you defeated the experts from the Five Great Sects and even made the successor of Mizong Quan kneel and call you grandmaster. This news is already spreading like wildfire on the campus network,” Liu Bin laughed heartily.
