Chapter 129 Hello everyone, I'm Feng Jiu

When the mysterious person revealed his true form, Su Yao looked over with some curiosity.

The man stood at the bow of the flying boat, holding a crimson longbow with intricate patterns in his hand. He was dressed in a black outfit, with a slight smile on his face. His long hair, tied up, flew freely in the air, and a black mask hung diagonally above his face. He looked like a cheerful and handsome man.

Looks familiar. Isn't this the person Tong Yunqi bumped into yesterday?

"Hello, I'm Feng Jiu," the man said as he put away his flying boat and boarded the Nandu Academy. As soon as he stepped onto the deck, he started chatting enthusiastically, almost revealing all his secrets. "I'm from the Ghost Market. I'm here to transport supplies to Pingsha Town. Hello, Instructor Pan. Actually, I used to want to attend some kind of academy, but I didn't come because the treatment at the Ghost Market was too good, haha."

Some disciples, upon hearing that the Ghost Market offered better treatment, secretly harbored a hint of longing in their eyes.

"That was close! I was flying and suddenly a fight broke out. It scared me to death. Luckily, the instructors were amazing and resolved it so quickly. As expected of Nandu Academy."

Pan Rui was taken aback. He hadn't expected that this peak Nascent Soul cultivator would be so easy to talk to. He swallowed back all the words he had prepared and showed a friendly smile: "Fellow Daoist Feng Jiu, you flatter us. We are indebted to you for your help. Consider today's matter a favor that Nandu Academy owes you."

"No, no..."

"Yes, yes..."

Seeing that they were about to be caught in a vortex of mutual flattery, Su Yu glanced around and found a way out.

He exclaimed with great surprise, “Oh my, it’s you all! I didn’t expect you to be disciples of Nandu. Fellow Daoist Tong, and the others, what a coincidence! We just met yesterday, and now we meet again.”

This "Fellow Daoist Tong" was addressed to Chang Zhi, who had given a false name at the time.

Chang Zhi met Professor Pan Rui's meaningful gaze, and a cold sweat broke out on his brow.

Last time, Feng Jiu had restrained his aura. He really didn't realize that this was a peak Nascent Soul cultivator. Otherwise, he would never have rushed up to test him.

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me, haha, but it is indeed quite a coincidence." Chang Zhi laughed and took the opportunity to explain that he had given a false name because he was being cautious. His real name was Chang Zhi, and he hoped that the senior would not take offense.

Su Yu smiled and readily agreed: "It's alright. I didn't know you were disciples of the Southern Crossing Sect back then. I only mentioned your surnames. Let's call it even."

"It's good that the misunderstanding has been cleared up," Pan Rui said with a smile, patting Chang Zhi on the shoulder. "Since Fellow Daoist Feng Jiu is destined to be with you, why don't you treat him well?"

Then he said to Su Yu, "We are also going to Pingsha Town. Fellow Daoist Feng Jiu, why don't you come with us? It's safer with more people."

Su Yu readily agreed.

Chang Zhi was reluctant but forced a smile and agreed. He knew that this was an opportunity created by their mentor for them to get in touch with the senior and learn from him, but when he thought about how this senior had been bumped into by Tong Yunqi, he really couldn't help but feel wary.

Su Yu smoothly joined Su Yao's group of friends, and because of her senior status and the invitation given by her mentor, she was surrounded and walked in the middle.

A question came from You Fujun in his team chat:

Su Yu calmly replied:

The other end replied with "okay," and then there was no further news.

Su Yu continued chatting happily with A Yao: "So you're the top student in this year's Nan Du competition! That's amazing!"

"You flatter me," Su Yao replied with a smile. "Sometimes I worry that I might not do things well enough, like being a perfect leader, which would be a bit difficult for me."

It's strange, that eerie sense of familiarity is even stronger now.

However, not only could she not find a corresponding person in Feng Jiu's appearance and behavior, but the dissipated spiritual energy was also strangely unfamiliar.

In this world, spiritual aura is the most definite and weighty certification of personal identity. Each person's spiritual aura is unique, and it is virtually impossible to mistake one for another.

Su Yao suddenly blinked rapidly.

She made up her mind to dig out the truth about Feng Jiu.

Su Yu was still smiling, though he felt his face was getting a little stiff from smiling. Luckily, he had chosen a naturally smiling face: "By the way, how about I treat you to a meal when we get to Pingsha Town? I know that place well."

It's fake, but he can squeeze the best restaurants out of Meng'an.

In addition, he is now a demon, possessing only demonic energy and no spiritual energy. The spiritual energy he displays is merely demonic energy disguised by the Spirit Transformation Bracelet, completely different from when he was still human.

Su Yu wasn't worried about being recognized.

Su Yao shook her head regretfully: "It might not work. We still have special training, so we probably won't see each other again."

"Not necessarily," Su Yu said, shaking her index finger with a deliberately mysterious air. "Do you know about the Ghost Market's exploration team?"

Yue Minghe was interested. He raised his hand and said, "You mean the team from Ghost Market that collects rare treasures outside? Senior, could it be that Su has some connection with this exploration team?"

“Yes,” Su Yu suppressed his smile; his face was really sore. He leaned back and pressed himself against the seat back. “If fate allows, maybe we’ll meet again in the stormy desert?”

“We’ll talk about that later,” Su Yao said, looking at Su Yu. “Speaking of which, senior doesn’t look much older than us, yet you’re already at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.”

She wanted to know Feng Jiu's age.

“It shouldn’t be much older,” Su Yu said. “I’m not even fifty yet, so I’m definitely from the same generation as you.”

If one can cultivate to extend their lifespan, from the Middle Spirit Realm to the Upper Spirit Realm, fifty years is considered the age of equals.

Amazement appeared in the eyes of Su Yao's friends, who marveled at yet another genius in the world. Although they were already geniuses in the eyes of the world, more successful peers always attracted some envy.

However, Su Yao was not entirely satisfied, as the age range was too wide. So she asked again, "Is the Ghost Market very well-paid? Senior, you have such cultivation at such a young age and have found such a good job. Your family must be very proud."

This is because they want to know about Feng Jiu's family situation.

Chang Zhiyue, Minghe, and Lan Mo looked at their boss with a somewhat bewildered expression.

No, this is only the second time we've met! Even if we're destined to be together, this is no excuse for scrutinizing her background like this! Our boss can't possibly fall for someone she's only met twice, right? And You Fujun, Sister You, say something! Don't you two have some kind of secret relationship? How can you just stand by and watch our boss become interested in someone else?!

You Fujun calmly took a sip of water.

Why is she getting involved in the siblings' argument?

These young people don't understand.

However, Su Yu, disguised as Feng Jiu, seemed completely oblivious to anything amiss, and replied with a smile, "If my parents were still alive, they would surely be proud of me."

"Unfortunately, I'm currently in a situation where I'm the only one who needs to eat my fill and the rest of the family isn't hungry."
