Looking from high above, the outskirts of Seattle were still filled with the grand spectacle of a beast tide attacking the city, but there were many more forces resisting. They had established countless small camps outside the city, with the central grand camp as their base. The aerial view looked like a drop of ink of a different color falling onto paper, quite magnificent.
The plane flew over the beast tide, attracting the attention of many red-eyed monsters, but they could only watch – they couldn’t reach it.
Soon, the plane landed at Seattle’s international airport. People began to move around. Because of the ring for storing items, Su Jiu directly exited the plane. Seeing Su Jiu sending a message to Vivian, Bairnis silently transformed into a stream of light and entered the spiritual space.
No matter what Su Jiu said, she just softly said, “Miss and that person should be given some private time.” She absolutely refused to come out.
Su Jiu had no choice but to follow behind Mr. Green alone, feeling the unique vitality of a big city.
To be honest, she really wanted to see Vivian immediately, but Su Jiu had already agreed to have dinner with Mr. Green and the others. She simply sent her a message: “I’m back.”
Walking on the street, as if sensing something, Su Jiu suddenly stopped and looked up to see several “mages” sitting cross-legged on brooms in mid-air. Obviously, the brooms were also alchemical items.
Their target seemed to be Mr. Green in front of her. The leading young man, wearing a magic hat, pressed down on his hat and said to Mr. Green with great joy, “Teacher, you’re back early?”
“Thanks to the lady behind me.”
Mr. Green nodded with a smile, then turned sideways to reveal Su Jiu, and waved to them, “Come down, have someone lead you to the booked hotel for dinner, and I’ll introduce you to this lady.”
Hearing Mr. Green’s words, the leading youth put his broom into his storage bag and descended to the ground. The others followed suit and began to look at Su Jiu curiously. Someone exclaimed in surprise, “Blood Clan?”
Mr. Green glared at that person and said sternly, “Don’t be so surprised, this lady is my guest.”
As they were sizing up Su Jiu, Su Jiu’s eyes swept over them. They were indeed around twenty years old, and the leading youth had a subtle aura close to Intermediate Battle King. It was probably that young man named Morin.
These students all wore a red book-shaped badge on their chests, with a silver-white vertical pupil carved into the book.
Soon, the students withdrew their gazes. Without Mr. Green’s confirmation, they naturally wouldn’t dare to stare rudely at Su Jiu.
“Teacher, and this lady, please follow me.”
Then, the leading youth bowed slightly to Su Jiu and Mr. Green, and gestured for them to go. Naturally, they had to treat someone who was their teacher’s peer and could talk to him with respect.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Green nodded and then turned to Su Jiu with a smile, saying, “This is our school’s Morin, and those are also students from Stanford University. After that doctor from Dragon Country blew the whistle, they all wanted to know about the situation in Erus. You can tell them about it then.”
“The whistleblower… it should be Dr. Liu Gang, right?”
Su Jiu nodded lightly, her mind making a guess. Then, with her hands behind her back, she followed Mr. Green. Seeing that they didn’t choose to take a car, she estimated that the journey wouldn’t be too far. She then started to use her phone to chat with Vivian, only to find that she still hadn’t responded.
However, a news push from the browser stunned her: “The Truth of Erus – An Indictment from a Doctor.” Su Jiu clicked on it and indeed saw a familiar bald head.
“Judging by the professor’s tone, this lady should also be a participant in the Erus counter-invasion war. Judging by her attire, she should be a noble lady.”
“A noble lady? She must have contributed a lot of food and supplies.”
“She couldn’t possibly be doing other work. Judging by the teacher’s attitude towards her, she might even be a young lady close to the royal family.”
While Su Jiu was looking at her phone, the students were also secretly looking at Su Jiu, chatting about this and that. Soon they arrived at the designated hotel, which was a rather large restaurant.
Everyone entered the hotel and was led to a customized private room, which was exceptionally quiet. The pale yellow lighting made Su Jiu, who had been tired for days, feel unexpectedly sleepy.
Once inside the private room, the students immediately quieted down, their gazes falling on Mr. Green to varying degrees, waiting for him to speak.
“Everyone…”
Slowly standing up, Mr. Green surveyed the students, then tapped his ring, taking out a bottle of cloudy blue-white liquid and two crystal-clear cups. He smiled and poured a cup for Su Jiu, handing the crystal-clear cup over.
Soon, a student recognized the wine. A girl who looked like an assistant covered her mouth and pointed at the wine, looking at Mr. Green in shock, and exclaimed, “This is a Demigod-level wine gifted by another country to Teacher for saving tens of thousands of people. It is said that only the Principal and a few directors in the school have ever tasted it.”
Upon hearing this, Su Jiu looked at the wine with great curiosity. The bottle was already covered in frost. If it weren’t for the special bottle, it would have shattered completely.
Mr. Green poured himself another cup and said with a slight smile, “This is an elder of the Night Watcher from Dragon Country. When protecting civilians, she single-handedly killed General Yela, a High-Rank Battle King, and several Initial Stage Battle King officers.”
As soon as he said this, everyone present was instantly stunned, looking at Su Jiu, who was dressed like a noble lady, with astonished eyes. They were all children of noble families and were not unfamiliar with the Night Watchers; they were simply the epitome of the elite among elites.
As for the outstanding ones – the elders, each of them could exhibit invincible combat power at the Battle King stage, and it could even be said that those elders were a few notches stronger than their teacher.
“No wonder Teacher is willing to use this Demigod-level Snow God’s Drink. It turns out this lady is not some noble lady at all, but… a strong person who can be a Great Noble herself.”
Morin’s gray pupils couldn’t help but widen slightly. The Night Watcher elders were figures that even their War God families treated with awe. He didn’t expect this Blood Clan lady, who looked younger than him, to have such a significant background.
However, he couldn’t help but feel fortunate – thankfully, such a monster wouldn’t compete with him on the same stage, otherwise, he might not even get the soup while it was hot.
“Thank you…”
Taking the wine brewed from special plants, Su Jiu thanked Mr. Green slightly and put the frosty wine glass aside.
Under the gaze of several people, a “beep beep” sound occurred. Su Jiu apologized to them, first glanced at Vivian’s message on her phone: “Where are you?”
So, she smiled and sent the address of the restaurant: “Having dinner with friends, going to have some drinks later, do you want to join?”
“Heh, this wine can be used for foundation building. Don’t look at it as just Demigod-level, even a regular War God can’t withstand it easily…”
While Su Jiu was replying to the message, Mr. Green smiled and took out two small, fiery beads from his ring. He first put one into his cup and explained with a hearty laugh, “You need to use this Blazing River Pearl to sober up to reduce the coldness. But even if it’s reduced, you need Battle King level strength to barely endure it.”
Su Jiu’s phone quickly received a reply: “Half an hour later, I’ll wait for you downstairs. I won’t join your dinner party with friends.”
“Okay.”
Without paying attention to Mr. Green’s words, Su Jiu typed another character and took a gentle sip. She felt the coldness instantly surge through her body, and all her pores were covered in a layer of white frost, but her expression remained as usual as she sighed, “This is indeed good wine.”
As she sighed, a hint of green flickered in her eyes. All her pores seemed to be absorbing it. Su Jiu felt exceptionally comfortable, and the next moment, an unprecedented desire surged within her.
Then, she involuntarily took another gulp. The moment it entered her mouth, the secondary extraordinary ice attribute seemed to stabilize completely, no longer restless, as if it was very satisfied with Su Jiu’s feeding.
The moment Su Jiu used that ice attribute, she actually touched upon some realm’s charm, but it was still far from being able to use it.
And those people, including Mr. Green, were all dumbfounded. He was still holding a fiery red Blazing River Pearl with his external qi. His throat involuntarily moved, looking at the green ice qi on Su Jiu. Then, his face became more and more solemn. After a moment, he said word by word in a deep voice, “Top-tier secondary extraordinary ice attribute!”
Ordinary secondary extraordinary attributes are difficult to obtain. Top-tier secondary extraordinary attributes, unless gifted, can only be obtained from top-tier War God level monsters for raw materials.
And upon hearing this, the others were speechless. They all looked foolishly, feeling that Su Jiu was inexplicably powerful.
The banquet continued. Su Jiu recounted her personal experiences to everyone. When she mentioned “Jialuo,” she paused slightly, clearly perceiving the anger on the faces of these young students, who were full of vigor.
Sighing, Su Jiu pursed her lips and continued the incomplete story. She tried to make her story less personal, but when she talked about killing the Ancient God Sect’s Black-clad Bishop and the high-ranked Battle King professor who colluded with them, the students burst into enthusiastic applause.
Before these students became politicians, they all had passion. At least later, when Su Jiu talked about defending the hospital, the students almost yelled. They knew Su Jiu was powerful, but when someone powerful was as passionate as them, a resonance would inexplicably occur.
However, Morin discovered a blind spot. He hesitated for a moment, then looked at his teacher in surprise, “According to what Lady Su said, you didn’t just go through the motions, did you…”
Exposed by his own student, Mr. Green’s slightly wrinkled mouth twitched. Then he rolled his eyes and snorted, “If it weren’t for the special device there that caused the positioning to malfunction, I wouldn’t have…”
“It is brave of old sir to come to Erus, probably braver than many invited guests…”
Seeing Mr. Green explaining to his student, Su Jiu couldn’t help but chuckle. She glanced at the time and realized more than an hour had passed. Then she slightly stood up and was about to clasp her fists goodbye, “Everyone, someone is waiting for me downstairs. Let’s gather again another time!”
“Okay!”
Seeing Su Jiu about to leave, Mr. Green also became a little serious. Then, he followed Su Jiu’s example, clasped his fists, and then twisted his face towards Morin, saying softly, “Morin, go and see Miss Su off.”
“Yes, Teacher.”
Morin quickly stood up and nodded. He looked at Su Jiu and nervously made a gesture for her to go. He couldn’t help it; after hearing that she had killed three Battle Kings in just a few days and had various astonishing achievements, any student would be nervous.
“I’ll see you off here. It’s not far from the Dragon Country station.”
Soon, the two arrived outside the hotel. Morin scanned the surroundings and said with a smile.
“Merry Fishing Squad? Why are they here? Are they here to pick up this distinguished lady?”
Suddenly, on a black car, Morin saw several familiar figures. His gaze swept over the girl in the white dress at the front, who seemed to be coming over.
It seems like the captain of the Merry Fishing Squad has changed to her.
“Hello…”
Thinking for a moment, Morin was about to greet them, as their teams might meet in the upcoming competition. But the next second, the other party brushed past him.
“Captain, you’ve lost weight.”
But before he could speak, Vivian walked towards them first, her hands behind her back, a brilliant smile on her face, like a rose after frost, delicate and moving.
“Captain?”
Morin was completely stunned. Then he looked around and found that besides the waiter, only Su Jiu was beside him. His heart trembled violently, and the figure in the wheelchair in his mind overlapped with this black-dressed shadow.
But when people get the worst outcome, they always subconsciously think of the good – that’s Frost Blade, and this is Su Jiu, haha, the names don’t even match!
He quickly looked at the sweeping waiter, flashed a smile that was more like crying than laughing, took off his magic hat, and looked at him with a pleading gaze, asking, “Are you the captain of the Merry Fishing Squad?”
“Nonsense, talking nonsense with your eyes open. I’ve always been working, how could I be slacking…” The waiter looked at him with disdain and left with his broom.
Seeing the waiter leave, Morin’s neck mechanically turned towards Su Jiu and found that Vivian was already hugging Su Jiu tightly.
“It really is her!”
Contrary to the joyous atmosphere around him, he instantly became dejected and staggered towards the corridor entrance, his eyes seeming to have lost their luster. He muttered to himself with a silly laugh, “Haha, am I supposed to fight Su Jiu? Hehe…”
Fight a Night Watcher elder?
What would he fight with? A slide?
“Captain, what’s wrong?” a female voice sounded, as if she had come down to see why Morin hadn’t returned yet.
Suddenly stopping, Morin looked at the female team member, his eyes clearing up a lot. He shook his head with a bitter smile and said, “Let’s aim for second place this time.”
“But Captain, aren’t you confident about dealing with Mr. Wend…”
The female team member looked puzzled.
“No… you won’t understand how strong our enemy will be.”
Before she could speak further, he heard a voice. He looked in the direction of the sound and found that Morin’s face showed a rare expression of fear. This incomparably powerful prodigy actually showed such an expression.
She knew that although he was humble on the surface, he was arrogant at heart, and even Mr. Wend couldn’t make him show such an expression.
