Chapter 14 Ancient God Sect’s First Appearance
On the way to the suburbs.
Su Jiu rested one hand on the bus window, looking at the yellowed rice fields along the way, she felt a strange emotion, her mind empty.
“Is this Miss’s first time seeing a rice field?” Bai Qianyu asked with a playful smile, sitting beside her.
Su Jiu knew that the other party meant no harm, so she gently shook her head, her gaze still distant. In her past life, her parents were farmers, and the rice fields were places where she played as a child, how could she be unfamiliar with them?
Seeing that she didn’t want to talk more, Bai Qianyu didn’t say anything else. She took out her phone and began to study the basic skills of the Warrior Class bloodline. She had almost mastered the common skill that everyone shared – the Avatar.
She would probably be able to master it completely after this trip to the back mountain.
“What is watching me…”
Suddenly, as if noticing something, Su Jiu looked around, but found nothing, so she continued to look at her phone.
Before long, that feeling of being maliciously watched returned.
Su Jiu lightly tapped her forehead, her pupils turned vertical, and a cold air slowly emanated from her.
Soon, with the enhancement of her dragon eyes, she discovered the source of the ill intent. Her gaze fell on the handbag of the twin-tailed girl not far in front of them. She subtly reached for her thigh, a gleam flashed, and she suddenly stood up and walked in that direction.
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing that Su Jiu had used the Avatar skill, Bai Qianyu looked confused and wanted to ask, but Su Jiu stopped her with a look.
Su Jiu silently approached the twin-tailed girl and glanced shallowly into her handbag.
As expected, a pair of red eyes were looking at her, full of malice. This didn’t look like any contract beast.
The twin-tailed girl seemed to notice Su Jiu’s strange behavior. She turned her head to look at Su Jiu, her expression a little flustered.
Then, she covered her bag and shouted loudly to the surroundings, “Why are you staring at my bag?!”
The attention of the people on the bus was instantly drawn over, and almost everyone looked at Su Jiu with vigilance, with “Is this person a thief?” written all over their faces.
“What’s in your bag? You know that bringing monster pets into the city requires registration,” Su Jiu said softly, looking directly at the twin-tailed girl.
“I… I don’t have anything!” Upon hearing this, the twin-tailed girl’s expression instantly became abnormal, but she stubbornly said, putting her neck out.
“Don’t have? Then open your bag and let everyone see.” Su Jiu smiled indifferently, the dagger in her right hand was ready to strike. As soon as she saw the monster, she would strike it down.
Originally, she was too lazy to meddle in other people’s business, but the malicious gaze made her feel uneasy.
“Little girl, open it and let us see.”
“Open it and prove it.”
Many of the adults on the bus were ordinary people with no talent. Although they were basic warriors, their strength was far inferior to those high school students.
They had a natural fear of mysterious creatures outside the city like monsters.
“Fine, I’ll open it then.”
The twin-tailed girl couldn’t stand the shouts of the crowd. She pulled open her bag, exposing it to everyone’s gaze. It was a rather cute Mischievous Monkey, a type of pet that did not require registration.
When everyone saw that it was a small monster beast without a rank, they were immediately relieved and looked at Su Jiu with some blame.
It’s just a small pet, why make such a fuss.
“Mischievous Monkey?”
Su Jiu frowned slightly. How could this be? She clearly felt a malicious gaze.
Wait…
It seemed that people from the Ancient God Sect also liked to exploit loopholes in the city, using these harmless animals as surveillance.
“Forget it.”
In the end, Su Jiu did not strike. After all, this monkey did not cause her any substantial harm. If she killed someone’s pet indiscriminately, she would have to pay money and go to jail.
Su Jiu returned to her seat. She found that the malicious gaze was gone, so she was too lazy to bother with the twin-tailed girl.
A clear and sweet scent of orange blossoms wafted over. The stop soon arrived, and Su Jiu and Bai Qianyu got off the bus. At this time, Bai Qianyu slowly spoke, “Did you discover something just now? You even used ‘Avatar’.”
“Someone was watching us. I didn’t expect it to be a monkey,” Su Jiu said softly, looking at the departing rural bus.
“Watching us? Is it from the Lin Family?”
Bai Qianyu became a little nervous. If she offended the Lin Family, she was still very afraid that they would find her home and harm her mother, who was an ordinary person.
“No… maybe it was just my imagination?” Su Jiu suddenly smiled, stood on tiptoe, and patted Bai Qianyu’s head, “Don’t worry, I’ve already asked my elder to talk to the Lin Family about this, and they won’t trouble you.”
There was definitely something wrong. That gaze was exactly the same as the monsters in space. It seemed that she had to let her elder pay attention to whether the Ancient God Sect was making any moves.
… A solitary figure stood at a bus stop.
“Sir, I think I’ve been discovered.” The twin-tailed girl from before was leaning against the bus stop sign, her expression looking rather unpleasant.
The person on the other end of the phone was clearly surprised by her words. After a slight pause, they cursed in a voice that sounded quite young, “Useless trash! You were just standing there, using the sect’s skills to control the Mischievous Monkey to watch. Did Bai Ming’s sister discover you like this?”
“It wasn’t Bai Qianyu… that person seemed to be able to sense gazes,” the twin-tailed girl said softly.
“Could it be a War General Level expert?” the other person continued to ask.
“Probably not. She looked like her classmate,” the twin-tailed girl replied honestly. She felt a little incredible. She hadn’t revealed any aura, yet the other person knew she was staring at her.
The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, “Alright, I’ll find someone else to track her! I don’t know the level of these school students? A bunch of weaklings who haven’t been to the monster battlefield.”
“Sir, I…”
The twin-tailed girl clearly wanted to say more, with an anxious look on her face. She had worked hard to get such a simple tracking mission by relying on her looks.
“Stop talking. According to you, that person is at least a High-level Warrior Adventurer or a soldier, because only they would have this intuition for danger and malice. But is that possible?”
“Use your brain, which is full of yellow waste, to think about it. Someone like that can get a public position in Huayang City. Would they be Bai Qianyu’s classmate?”
“Beep beep…” The twin-tailed girl stood there stunned, somewhat at a loss.
On the other end of the phone was what looked like a very neat office. A young man, who looked about twenty years old, had a blue inverted cross pinned deep within his inner lining.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, on which lay a roster of 58 names.
One could vaguely see that the first name in the front row was written as “Bai Ming’s sister, Bai Qianyu, suspected of having the same SS bloodline, must acquire.” The second name was “Liu Lin, S-class top-tier bloodline, must acquire.”
The words “must acquire” were written in red marker.
It was not until the twenty-first name on the list that it read “Su Jiu, A-class bloodline.” Clearly, people with A-class bloodlines were negligible in the young man’s eyes.
“Have you finished grading the homework? I ordered takeout,” Zhou Qian’s voice suddenly came in.
The young man put the roster into the drawer and showed a gentle smile on his face, “Teacher Zhou, you’re too kind. I’ll treat you to barbecue next time.”
