The old man walked with his hands behind his back and stopped in front of Feng Jiu with a look of a highly learned person: “Little Scoundrel, do you know how powerful this old man is?”
“Yes, I know.” Feng Jiu nodded in response.
At his candid response, the words the old man was going to say suddenly choked up in his throat. He stared and asked: “You really know it? Do you know what kind of existence I have in the Nebula Immortal Sect?”
“Yes, you are the sacred symbol of the Immortal Sect.” She smiled, her smile was a sharp contrast to the old man’s stare.
“Even when the Sect Master sees me he has to greet me as Senior Brother.” He stretched out his hand and stroked his beard as he spoke, putting on the airs of a highly learned man.
“Yes, I know.” She nodded and smiled again.
“Since you know that, why don’t you want to acknowledge me as your Master?” He stared at her and asked.
Upon seeing his persistence, Feng Jiu sighed lightly: “I already have a Master.”
“Your Master, who is he? Which old monster from the Four Great Immortal Sects is he?” He was sure that such a good student would have a master with some backing.
“You don’t know my Master.”
Feng Jiu shook her head and replied.
The body of her Master Chu Ba Tian had been in the secret underwater mansion for decades. However, if his name were mentioned in the lower continent, the people of the older generation would know of this resounding character. It was strange that no one knew of him in the upper continent.
“I don’t know him?” Sage Hun Yuan was startled when he heard this and said with a weird look: “Anyone that I don’t know would be unknown people, does your Master not have a backing? He’s just some small nobody?”
Feng Jiu smiled slightly: “No matter what kind of person he is, he is still someone. The world is so big and there are so many hidden powerful people, can Senior dare say that he knows them all?”
Upon hearing this, the old man choked and was at a loss for words. There were many powerful people hidden in the world, and of course he didn’t know them. But what powerful hidden person would this cunning kid’s Master be?
As they chatted over here, the others had already lit the fires and called them over. The old man walked over with his hands behind his back and sat down while Feng Jiu jumped up onto a tree and leaned against a branch to rest.
“Little Jiu, aren’t you coming down to eat something by the fire?” Chai Feng asked as he came over to the tree.
“No thank you, I still have some food here.” Feng Jiu said and took a sip of wine.
Upon seeing this, Chai Feng took out his dried rations and threw them up the tree: “Here, catch it, it’s for you.”
Feng Jiu caught it and said: ” Thank you.”
Chai Feng smiled, then walked over to the fire and chatted with everyone.
Feng Jiu closed her eyes and rested. When she felt the branch move slightly, her eyes opened. She saw Zhuo Junyue resting between the branches holding his sword with both hands, his eyes closed.
Upon seeing that, she retracted her gaze and they slept in their own spaces. Originally, she thought that she would be able to have a good night’s sleep. However, she heard movement in the middle of the night and she opened her eyes and sat up quickly.
At the same time, Zhuo Junyue who was resting on the same tree opened his eyes and sat up. After glancing at Feng Jiu, he looked around their surroundings. Sage Hun Yuan, who had been resting by the fire had also noticed the disturbance. He looked up instinctively at the tree Feng Jiu was resting in and was surprised to see that she had also woken up.
This kid was quite alert! He thought to himself secretly as he kicked Fan Yixiu and the others beside him.
“Grand Uncle?” Fan Yixiu had awoken and looked around a little dazed in his sleepy state.
