Chapter 118 Picked Up

After tidying up all of Su Yu's belongings, Feng Shi silently left through the exit designed for the cave.

His older brother was waiting for him to go find him, and he couldn't waste any time.

He had just emerged from that hidden cave entrance when he bumped into a group of eerie black-robed demons gathered together, whispering amongst themselves.

"Is this the place? Hua Xian, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

“My eyesight is excellent. Anyway, I saw that the demons were coming in this direction. Look, look, the corpses are all lying here!”

"This corpse looks like one of the people who were chasing after Second Senior Brother."

"It seems like our senior brothers can win. Should we go help them?"

Feng Shi, who was right behind them, blinked slowly and recognized them as his junior brothers and sisters from Yuanfu.

He should have turned around and left. After all, Feng Shi had no interest in anything other than his partner. He must have started to value his life's experiences in order to get closer to his partner.

However, he still made some noise as he moved.

The demons who were discussing the matter looked over warily, and then jumped up on the spot.

"Holy crap, it's twelve!"

"Second Senior Brother, you're covered in blood! Where's Eldest Senior Brother?"

"Enough talk, give Second Senior Brother a healing pill first!"

Feng Shi was surrounded by his noisy junior brothers and sisters, his head spinning.

He is not Feng Shi, he is Feng Huaijin.

In his past life, Feng Shi was simply a fool who wanted to destroy the world. Feng Huaijin has an older brother, a teacher, and fellow disciples, and he will definitely have a partner in the future. He would never allow that.

Feng Huaijin's gaze was deep as he answered in a low, husky voice: "Senior Brother, the teleportation array mechanism is temporarily missing, but I will find it."

The demons hesitated for a moment before Hua Xian spoke up: "Well, it's alright. If you can't find it, then the Demon Palace will be even less likely to find it. Doesn't that mean our senior brother is safe? We'll keep an eye out for him later; we'll find him eventually."

Wan Qin nodded in agreement: "That's right, that's right. In a few years, our batch of disciples will be kicked out of the Yuan Mansion to venture out on our own. We'll definitely be able to find our senior brother."

After the Yuanfu instructors have imparted most of the knowledge, they will send their disciples out to explore and gain experience. They are not allowed to act in the name of Yuanfu. Once their cultivation reaches the graduation standard, they can return to Yuanfu for confirmation and then graduate.

Feng Huaijin responded softly, "If my brother and I kill these demons, the Demon Lord will be even more enraged. I cannot stay any longer, so let's take our leave."

"Wait a minute!" Fang Fang shouted, raising her hand to throw two storage bags at him. "These are resources that our fellow disciples have saved up for our two senior brothers. Second senior brother, take these with you. If you find our eldest senior brother, give him his share."

Because she is recognized by her fellow disciples as the most reliable demon, the items are kept by her.

Feng Huaijin accepted it: "Okay, I've got it."

The senior brother they had just met left after only a few words. The remaining disciples of Yuanfu looked at each other for a while, and Fang Fang waved her hand and said, "Alright, go and train on your own. Even if we can't keep up with the cultivation speed of those two senior brothers, we can't fall too far behind."

"Okay, okay..."

"I'll ask my senior brothers for advice and practice next time when I have the chance."

After the demons dispersed, Yu Ronglan also left seemingly without any abnormality, his lowered eyelids concealing a trace of confusion in his eyes.

Wasn't it said that his second senior brother was already the former Demon Lord? How come he doesn't seem any different from before?

Well, this is fine too.

Meanwhile, Su Yu, who had already left the Demon Realm, woke up feeling dizzy and disoriented due to the dizzying effect of the spatial teleportation.

His eyelids felt heavy, and his eyelashes trembled a few times before finally revealing his pure black eyes.

He was lying flat, with the low beams of the roof above him instead of the sky, and a somewhat hard wooden plank bed beneath him.

Although he didn't know where he was, he was found by someone and didn't end up in the wilderness.

Su Yu thought about her previous experiences of always waking up in the wilderness and felt a little touched.

Xiao Qi said awkwardly:

Su Yu actually landed deep in the mountains and forests.

Just as Su Yu was chatting with the system, a hoarse young voice came from the side.

"Hey, you're awake."

The boy looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old. His clothes were made of rough fabric, clean but faded from washing. His black hair was messy and covered most of his face. He was holding a bowl of dark... medicine in his hand.

"Drink your medicine, and once you're better, pay and leave," the young man said coldly as he placed the bowl in his hand on the bedside table when he saw Su Yu looking him up and down. "I'm the one who picked you up, so you have to repay my kindness."

What a crude attempt to take advantage of someone's kindness.

Su Yu didn't drink the medicine. He was just dizzy from the teleportation, but otherwise he was in excellent health. Even if there were any problems, the pills in his storage ring would be enough to solve them.

He looked at the seemingly indifferent but actually nervous child with clenched fists and felt a long-lost sense of fun in teasing the little guy: "Repay a debt of gratitude? How do you want me to repay a debt of gratitude?"

The boy quickly replied, "Fifty, no, one hundred mid-grade spirit stones."

He decided to take the man in because he thought he was well-dressed. The villagers didn't allow him to go out during the day, so he carried the man back all night, which delayed his time for chopping wood and hunting.

He even got some tonics from the village doctor, hoping to make all the money back from this man.

“Okay.” Su Yu didn’t even haggle and agreed immediately, taking out a pile of spirit stones from her storage ring and placing them in front of him.

He still had some spirit stones left over from his last trip to the Upper Spirit Realm in his storage ring. The amount this child wanted was not even a drop in the ocean.

He became incredibly wealthy after becoming the Ghost Lord of the Ghost Market.

But he still had doubts, so he casually said to the child, "I thought you would want me to teach you cultivation?"

This child had absolutely no spiritual energy and showed no signs of cultivation whatsoever. Even in the Lower Spirit Realm, he would probably be ridiculed as a waste, let alone in the Middle Spirit Realm, where the overall cultivation level was much higher.

It's possible that he was born unable to cultivate, but there's not even a trace of him trying to cultivate. This child has a really big problem.

Qiu Yin, who was stuffing spirit stones into his pocket, stopped abruptly, stopped counting, and quickly gathered the pile of spirit stones in his arms and ran outside: "The kindness has been repaid, we owe each other nothing. You can leave now, don't stay in my house."

They're surprisingly principled.

Su Yu slowly sat up and stood up, not intending to find out the truth behind the child.

There are only about twenty days left until his mysterious appearance. He needs to plan carefully, especially his first meeting with A Yao and the part where the ghost master's identity is revealed and the siblings recognize each other.

Just then, a quarrel broke out outside.

"Where did that brat get so many spirit stones? He must have stolen them!"
