My clan is super powerful

Zhang Zhi chuckled and shook his head upon hearing this: "That person has probably been in a remote area for a while, so this method is rather crude."

"Don't say it outright, but secretly having people watching my every move is, at best, harmless, but at worst, it's like monitoring members of the highest governing body of the human race!"

"If you want to give Him a hat, you'll make sure He's in deep trouble."

Zixia, who was standing to the side, sensed the anger in Zhang Zhi's words and said with some concern, "Your method can indeed make those people from Yueshan suffer a great loss."

"However, He is a half-step God of the Heavenly Star Domain."

"This is the first time He has come to you asking for a favor."

"If you try to mess with Him, it might have some negative effects on you."

"After all, he is a mentor at Tianxing University, and his connections in the Tianxing Domain can certainly be described as deeply rooted."

Upon hearing Zixia's words, Zhang Zhi nodded with a cold smile and said, "Of course I know that."

"Similarly, the people of Yueshan also knew that time."

That's why He's so confident and fearless.

"Not to mention, the Liu residence is still within the Seven Dragons Mansion."

"Therefore, He is very confident and fearless."

Upon hearing Zhang Zhi's words, Liu Wanwan and Liu Xiaoxiao said in unison, "Don't worry about my family."

After exchanging a glance, Liu Wanwan said, "Ever since the three of us returned from my Seven Dragons Mansion, many of the clan's businesses and personnel have begun to move towards Fengjing."

"Now there are quite a few people in the clan here in Fengjing. Even if the Yueshan people wanted to deal with our Liu family that time, there was nothing He could do."

"Not to mention that within the Seven Dragons Palace, it's not up to Him alone, Yue Shanren, to make the decisions."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhi shook his head slightly: "Even if I disregard your family, I still can't do anything to him."

"After all, in many people's eyes, I should be considered a favored official, a kind of lucky person."

“In their eyes, if I weren’t a disciple of Confucius, I would be utterly worthless.”

"Therefore, if I dare to try to deal with those people from Yueshan, the criticism I receive will definitely be much greater than you imagine."

Upon hearing Zhang Zhi's words, the three women beside him all looked rather unpleasant.

Those who were inseparable from Zhang Zhi naturally understood just how hard he worked.

After letting out a long breath, Zhang Zhi said, "However, no matter what, I'm definitely going to have a showdown with him when I return to Yueshan this time!"

"If I can't do anything to people like the Huiyue Mountain people who are monitoring my every move, then I, as an honorary professor, can be said to have completely lost my reputation."

"At that time, everyone will be able to ride on my head."

"No one will take me seriously anymore."

"Next, let me see what the people of Huiyue Mountain are relying on!"

Just as Zhang Zhi was thinking about how to deal with the people from Huiyue Mountain, someone else came to visit outside the cave.

When Zhang Zhi received the visiting card from Zixia, a strange look flashed across his face. This was yet another being at the half-step God Realm.

Needless to say, this person is definitely aiming for the associate professor position as well. I didn't expect that there was more than one person who had their eyes on me as a half-step God Realm professor so early on.

Zhang Zhi glanced at the name on the invitation card and, confirming that he didn't recognize it at all, pondered for a while before asking Zixia to go out and politely decline the person's offer, saying that he had too many things to do.

After politely declining that person's offer, Zhang Zhi was surprised when a half-step God Realm expert came to visit. Since they were not acquaintances, Zhang Zhi declined that person's offer again.

After politely declining the offer from the half-step God Realm expert, Zixia returned to the living room and, seeing Zhang Zhi's furrowed brows, suddenly said, "Find a way to help me collect more high-level spiritual energy crystals."

Upon hearing Zixia's request, a hint of doubt flashed across Zhang Zhi's eyes, but he still nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to the logistics management department in the next few days to exchange for some high-grade spiritual energy crystals."

"We killed a large number of alien half-step gods and gods a few days ago, so we should have a lot of spiritual energy crystals in stock."

After hearing Zhang Zhi's words, Zixia nodded slightly, her eyes sparkling.

Early the next morning, Zhang Zhibian contacted Professor Confucius via paper crane.

Of course, he wasn't a three-year-old child, so he certainly wouldn't go directly to Professor Confucius to complain.

Upon arriving at Professor Confucius's cave dwelling, and seeing Professor Confucius nod slightly to him, Zhang Zhi went straight to the point: "Teacher, I said I wouldn't participate in the discussion of the second batch of associate professors, right?"

Professor Confucius could naturally understand the hidden meaning in Zhang Zhi's words. He pointed at Zhang Zhi and said, "You rascal, are you trying to advance by retreating?"

"Or perhaps you also want an associate professor position?"

"I thought you could hold back from mentioning it. Your Qi Refining cultivation path does indeed require an associate professor to help you with related matters."

"As for the specific candidates, let me know once you've decided, and I'll help you gather the nominees."

Hearing Professor Confucius say this, Zhang Zhi felt a warm current flow through his heart. He shook his head slightly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Professor. I really came here this time to decline the matters related to the associate professor."

Upon hearing Zhang Zhi's words, Professor Confucius's expression showed a hint of surprise. After a moment's thought, he said, "You rascal, just say what you want to say!"

"Don't go around in circles like this, teacher."

Zhang Zhi naturally wouldn't say it directly, but instead said, "The students have discovered that, because of this second batch of associate professors, quite a few people are keeping a close eye on the students."

"You could even say that every word and action of yours is being watched."

"This makes the students very uncomfortable, and many of the people inside are definitely more skilled than the students."

"Although there is no worry about any accidents happening at school, students still feel a little uneasy."

Professor Confucius's face darkened upon hearing Zhang Zhi's words: "Are you saying that someone has been monitoring your every move all this time?"

Zhang Zhi nodded slightly and said, "Yes, yesterday afternoon a gentleman at the half-step God Realm came to me because of this associate professor position."

"I declined at the time, and I probably won't even get a share of the whole process."

"But unexpectedly, another half-step God Realm expert came looking for us yesterday evening."

"At first I thought it was a coincidence, but after I learned that the other person was also there for an associate professor position, I felt something was very wrong."

"After refusing that half-step God Realm lord, two more half-step God Realm lords actually came looking for us."

"Obviously, if they hadn't had people constantly watching my every move, how could they have known that a half-step God-level expert had come to see me yesterday afternoon?" (End of Chapter)
