Chapter 148 That's Different
The image-recording stone he was going to deliver to the Ghost Market in the Demon Realm Abyss City was still on its way, and the consequences of disrupting this part of the storyline were not yet certain.
Furthermore, if he were exposed now, not only would Xiao Qi cause him a ruckus, but his original plan to expose his identity would also fall apart midway, and he couldn't be sure what the plot consciousness would do.
Well, the most important thing is that he hasn't figured out an excuse for not recognizing his family even though he knows where they are.
For example, having another family outside is definitely not acceptable.
If he doesn't come up with a good excuse, I feel like his parents and Yao will be very angry, and I feel like his father will resort to family discipline.
Su Yu's mind raced, and she quickly said, "Actually, it's like this. Our Ghost Market has a rule: anyone who sees the Ghost Lord's true face must become my partner. That's why I used a fake face before. I do know your brother and we're good friends, but I don't know where he is right now."
“Su Yu’s sister, you really can’t take off your mask. I’m just helping a good friend take care of you. I understand how you feel, but don’t force me. Otherwise, when Su Yu comes back, I’ll settle accounts with your brother.”
"You don't want your brother to get beaten up, right?"
"But don't worry, Miss Su Yao, Su Yu's sister is my sister too. You can call me brother if you want."
Su Yu subtly included her own agenda.
Although they didn't acknowledge each other, he hadn't heard A-Yao call him "brother" in a long time.
Su Yao squinted and looked him up and down for a moment, then suddenly spoke up: "So Feng Jiu is also a pseudonym? What's your real name? I'd like to know too, you're my brother's good friend."
Without hesitation, Su Yu offered another fake name: "Feng Yue, my name is Feng Yue, the surname Feng is real! My mother gave birth to me on the day I was a full moon, so that's my name!"
It's fake. He wasn't born on a full moon. The moon in question is the moon of the Moon Demon.
Su Yao remained silent for a while, neither saying whether she believed it or not, but simply turned around and sat back down, her attitude appearing much colder.
"Then why did you want to see me this time?"
Su Yu coughed lightly, recovering from the state where she had almost become a chatterbox due to stress: "Well, based on my observations when I was Feng Jiu, you're a pretty good person, so I don't plan to keep it from you."
"In addition, you have an exceptional talent for alchemy, and my Ghost Market would like to do business with you."
Su Yao: "I used a fake identity when I was doing business with the Ghost Market selling pills."
Su Yu chuckled awkwardly twice: "I found out by accident when I was investigating Su Yu's sister's identity. If you mind, you can use your fake identity."
Su Yao chose to use the fake identity of Miss Mu.
Both parties quickly finalized the transaction terms.
Su Yao agreed quickly because the deal offered her too many benefits, and as a poor person, she couldn't bear to give it up.
Although giving away more benefits is a bit abnormal, Feng Yue's reason for taking care of her friend's sister is barely reasonable.
"Oh, right," Su Yu took out another storage ring and handed it to Su Yao, "This is your brother's allowance for you, which contains 300,000 high-grade spirit stones."
Su Yao: ...! !!
Her hand trembled slightly as she took the ring, then she held it with both hands and asked, "How much?"
"Three hundred thousand, high-grade spirit stones."
Su Yao murmured, "...Thank you for my brother's protection."
That was close! I almost blurted out the words "spirit in heaven."
Her brother isn't dead yet.
She usually only makes a large sum of money when she sells pills, which is then quickly swallowed up by various high-priced spiritual plants, crystals, compensation payments, weapon repair fees, and so on.
I haven't seen so many spirit stones in a long time, and they're all top-grade.
In the Middle Spirit Realm, mid-grade spirit stones are sufficient for daily transactions.
After the Great Path Competition, I'll have the resources to enter the Upper Spirit Realm!
Su Yao suddenly looked up: "So my brother was in the Upper Spirit Realm before, right?"
Su Yu, hiding her guilty conscience, said, "...Ah, right, go to the Upper Spirit Realm and look for him. Maybe you can find him there."
Su Yao: "Thank you for the news. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
She needed to prepare for the Path of Journey competition to ensure that her journey to the Upper Spirit Realm to find her brother would go smoothly.
After confirming that Su Yao had left, Xiao Qi happily shouted that she had successfully defended the plot and ran to share her joy with You Fujun's system.
After Su Yu had exhausted all his energy, he called Qiu Yin in and then quietly watched the match on the stage, which wasn't particularly exciting for him.
Just take this as a break.
Let's meet again in the Upper Spirit Realm. As for his identity being exposed, well, we'll have to wait until he comes up with a good reason.
Also, how should he tell them that he has a younger sister/brother outside?
As Su Yu thought this, her gaze unconsciously drifted toward Qiu Yin.
This child is only at the peak of Qi Refining, while the other contestants on the stage are far more powerful than him and are all seniors. They are watching with rapt attention.
Su Yu decided to give up thinking about the younger siblings who were giving the demon a headache and instead teach the studious child first to heal his heart, which had been ravaged by his adult siblings.
He stood up and slowly walked forward, glancing down at the arena where Qiu Yin was now looking at a battle between fire and water element cultivators.
The water and fire on both sides coalesced into beast-like forms, tearing and fighting each other.
Qiu Yin turned around somewhat flustered, saw him, pursed her lips and nodded vigorously: "I want to learn."
“You can’t learn what they’re using,” Su Yu said, setting up a concealment array to prevent anyone from detecting the demonic energy that would appear in the private room later. “Besides, we’re using demonic energy, which is different from what we’re using.”
“I remember you’re a fire elementalist,” Su Yu said, a fireball of demonic energy suddenly igniting in her palm. “I’ll teach you some minor spells, but you’ll have to follow the proper techniques carefully afterward.”
"Yes!" Qiu Yin's eyes lit up as he stared intently at the flickering fireball, glancing at Su Yu every now and then, his eyes shining with admiration.
Su Yu twitched her fingertips, and the fireball transformed into a small fire bird with a whoosh. It circled Qiu Yin once before slowly dissipating.
Then, Su Yu patiently explained the key points of this minor spell to Qiu Yin and let him try it on his own.
Su Yu's eyes held a mixture of affection and a hint of restless desire.
This kid looks perfectly normal.
Unlike Twelve who had feelings for him, and unlike A Yao who wanted to understand everything.
Raising them would definitely be a more rewarding experience, right?
Xiaoqi's voice was soft and low:
Su Yu cleared her throat:
Xiaoqi screamed silently.
No, when did the host become enlightened?
Is its plot finally going to completely collapse?
Although his parents seemed to recognize him, they thought he had some hidden reason for not revealing it. They also seemed quite happy when he talked about his relationship with Twelve.
But let's not tell Xiaoqi about this.
Anyway, the plot only requires that Ayao not know this now, because it would dampen her motivation to ascend to the spirit world.
At this moment, Su Yao, who knew nothing, was looking at the image transmission stone in her hand.
It would be strange if she were the type to so easily believe others and abandon her doubts.
She's been looking for Su Yu for so long...
From the moment he disappeared in modern times until he died and was reborn in this world, he has been searching.
She misses her brother.
