Ji Jiuying looked at Wen Chuyu, who seemed unaware that Shen Miaoqing liked him.
"Qingling, how are you feeling at the Sound Sect?" Ji Jiuying asked.
“Miss, my senior brothers and sisters here are all very kind, and my master is also very kind, so you don’t need to worry about me,” Qingling said.
"Okay, that's good. If you feel wronged, remember to tell me. I won't allow anyone to bully you."
"good!"
A large group of people arrived at the market, and the majority of those at the market were students from Star Academy.
Led by Wen Chuyu, the group quickly arrived at the best restaurant in the market.
"Gentlemen, what dishes would you like to order?"
"Waiter, bring me one of all your signature dishes. It's on me, he'll pay!" Shen Miaoqing said, pointing to Yan Nanzhi beside her.
Hmph, Yan Nanzhi, since you dared to come along, you should be prepared to be tricked!
Who knew that Yan Nanzhi glanced at her and raised the corners of his mouth. In the past, she would not have accepted his favors, but now she was using his money to do him a favor. Did this mean that she had changed her opinion of him?
"Alright~" The waiter responded and hurriedly went out to prepare, afraid that these little devils would change their minds!
"Sister Miaoqing, is there anything wrong with this?" Wen Longting muttered softly.
"Hmph~ I'll make him back down!"
Soon, all the dishes were served, filling the table. Ji Jiuying picked up a piece of meat and tasted it, and was immediately stunned. Why did the taste of these dishes seem so familiar?
"Miss, these dishes taste just like those from Zuixianlou!"
Qingling's words cleared up her confusion. Could this be Gu Qingfeng's business?
Just then, a familiar voice came from outside the door, "Miss Qingling has such a good memory!"
A man dressed in a pure white robe appeared before everyone. He was handsome, with a gentle smile on his lips. He exuded an aura of purity, as if he were born to be a noble young master who commanded respect.
"Gu Qingfeng! It really is you!"
"Shouldn't you be in the far north?" Ji Jiuying asked.
Gu Qingfeng remained silent for a moment, glanced at the group, and finally looked at Wen Longting with a smile.
Seeing this, Ji Jiuying roughly guessed the purpose of his visit. "Young Master Gu, you must not have finished eating yet. Why don't you sit down and eat with us?"
"good!"
Ji Jiuying took out her homemade cocktail and placed it on the table.
"Wow, it's a cocktail! It's been so long since I've had Xiao Jiu's brew!" Wen Longting quickly grabbed a bottle and started drinking. "One word: awesome! Two words: really awesome!"
"Look at you!"
Shen Miaoqing quickly forgot the unpleasantness from before and happily drank with Wen Longting.
Soon, both of their faces turned slightly red.
"Gu Qingfeng, drink up! Why aren't you drinking?" Wen Longting looked at Gu Qingfeng beside her, her brows furrowed slightly, picked up his wine glass and filled it. "Come on, drink!"
Wen Chuyu pulled Wen Longting aside, "Young Master Gu, I'm sorry, I can't hold my liquor, I hope you won't mind!"
Gu Qingfeng glanced at Wen Longting and said with a smile, "Miss Wen has a good temperament, Mr. Wen is overthinking it!"
Before long, they finished off all the food and wine on the table, and Shen Miaoqing let out a satisfied burp.
In the top-tier room.
The two stood facing each other.
"Speak, what brings you here?" Ji Jiuying asked directly and bluntly.
"Miss Jiu, these are all the medicinal herbs I found. This is the claw of the divine beast White Tiger from ten thousand years ago. I wanted to ask if you know if it can replace the blood of the divine beast as a substitute for that ingredient?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Jiuying took the head-sized paw and pretended to examine it. She had never seen a real white tiger before, so she wasn't sure if it was real or not. "Little Phoenix, take a look and see if this has the aura of your kind!"
Little Phoenix carefully observed through the spatial barrier, "It seems there's a faint aura..."
"This is the White Tiger's claw!" Evil Fire appeared behind Little Phoenix and replied, "But if you want to use the White Tiger's claw instead of the divine beast's blood to refine the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill, the chance of forming the pill will be greatly reduced, and the effect won't be as good."
The evil fire explained it incisively, and just as Little Phoenix was about to refute it, she found that it was right!
"However, the claw of this white tiger from ten thousand years ago is quite good for medicinal use. You can keep it for now! We can discuss the rest later."
Ji Jiuying knew exactly what it meant, and after glancing at Xiao Huang'er, she remained silent.
"It's possible, but there's absolutely no chance it will be very effective!"
Ji Jiuying said to Gu Qingfeng.
"Hmm, that's fine. After all, no one in this world has ever seen a divine beast, so finding its whereabouts is extremely difficult," Gu Qingfeng said.
"Let Xiao Jiu keep this white tiger's claw for now!"
"Well, since there's nothing else, I'll head back to the academy now. They're still waiting for me outside."
"Alright, just contact the manager of this restaurant if you need anything!"
Ji Jiuying gave a nonchalant reply and turned to leave.
It was already past midnight when Ji Jiuying returned to the academy. She looked into the neighboring courtyard and found that Old Man Yu was not in his room. He must have gone off to fool around somewhere again!
He flashed into the space, intending to pick up the white tiger's paw to examine it, but he couldn't find it anywhere.
"Little Phoenix, where's the tiger claw I just put in?" Ji Jiuying asked in confusion.
"I...I don't know, I didn't eat!" Little Phoenix said guiltily, then let out a burp and immediately covered her mouth with her wings.
Ji Jiuying then realized that Little Phoenix had eaten it! She shook her head helplessly and found a place to cultivate the Divine Control Technique.
The Western Jin Dynasty was far away, on the edge of the world.
Feng Che sat in the theater, drinking wine and watching the play.
Feng Luo, hiding in the shadows, looked at him with some impatience. These past few days, he had been following behind Feng Che, either drinking or watching plays. Could it be that he really knew nothing about the Third Elder's affairs?
Well, he decided not to waste his time on him. He picked up his drink, downed it in one gulp, and turned to leave.
Feng Che glanced at the direction where Feng Luo had just been, a slight smile playing on his lips, and left after sitting for a while!
Time flies when you're cultivating, and two days passed quickly.
Ji Jiuying was woken up early in the morning by Old Man Yu!
"Old Yu, what are you yelling about so early in the morning?" Ji Jiuying asked, yawning.
"Oh dear, my good disciple, have you forgotten that today is the official start of school? All students have to go and listen to the dean's speech!"
"You haven't gone yet either!" Ji Jiuying said helplessly. Besides, what's so nice about what this old man is saying?
"I don't want to go either, so let Old Man Shen go!" Yu Bugui said after thinking for a moment. It would be more enjoyable to drink in this courtyard.
Ji Jiuying, ......
Why is this old man so annoying?
(Updates will resume normally now, thank you everyone)
