Chapter 105: Chapter 97: Profession Analysis: The Sealed [Saint]
But he didn’t think much of it. After eating and drinking their fill, everyone went their separate ways.
Su Chen was also about to leave, but Zhang Yunqing stopped him.
“Wait a moment…” Zhang Yunqing, in her slender crystal high heels, was tall enough to reach Su Chen’s chin. She looked awkward, unable to bring herself to say the two words “Martial Uncle.”
“Someone’s looking for you. Gu Bing asked me for your location. They’ll be here soon.”
“Who?” Su Chen couldn’t help but be curious, but Zhang Yunqing didn’t have an answer.
He didn’t have to wait long. A jet-black Hovercar descended from the sky and landed by the roadside. A young man got out, his head down as he swiped at a virtual screen, a weary look on his face.
It was unclear what had happened, but he seemed to mutter a few curses before closing the virtual screen.
Looking up, he quickly locked onto Su Chen, his face finally showing a hint of excitement. “Junior Brother!”
he shouted.
’One of Old Xia’s students,’ Su Chen realized instantly.
“Junior Brother…” The man walked up and looked Su Chen up and down, then couldn’t help but say, “Teacher was right. He said it’d be the most handsome guy in the crowd.”
’Would Old Xia say something like that?’ Su Chen pictured the gloomy-faced old man. ’Doesn’t seem like him.’
“Senior Brother Bu Siqi, you’re just as distinguished as our teacher described,” Su Chen replied.
Xia Hanshi had told him someone would look after him when he arrived. This must be the person.
Old Xia had many students, not just those with high Talent, but also some whose Talent wasn’t considered exceptional.
Bu Siqi couldn’t help but grin and explain:
“I miscalculated the time. I thought you guys wouldn’t arrive for another two days. Good thing you didn’t end up stranded on the streets, or Teacher would definitely have my head when he gets back.”
“I’m sure Teacher wouldn’t have the heart to,” Su Chen said with a smile.
The two had a foundation of trust, and before long, they were chatting comfortably.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yunqing had seen off the last guest and bid them farewell.
“Junior Brother, where are you staying? I’ll give you a ride,” Bu Siqi asked.
“Moyun Observation Courtyard…” Su Chen gave the location. Bu Siqi was taken aback. “The one in North City? Why are you staying way out there?”
“It’s convenient for getting to the Translation Department…” Su Chen had to explain it all over again.
“The Translation Department?” Bu Siqi’s eyes suddenly grew deep. He pondered for a long time before saying, “Impressive, Junior Brother.”
“I’m just helping out temporarily.”
He started the Hovercar, merging into the traffic lane above. Hearing Su Chen’s words, he couldn’t help but laugh. “Plenty of people wish they could help out and don’t even get the chance.”
The two chatted casually, and Su Chen gradually learned more about him. Bu Siqi only had a Silver Level Talent, but he was the son of one of Xia Hanshi’s old friends. His father had already passed away.
“The judgment assessment is in about twenty-some days. With your Talent, becoming an Inner Court Seed shouldn’t be a problem,” Bu Siqi said, getting to the point. “But there are a few things you need to watch out for.”
“The Fourth Chief Judge—Wei Yinsuo. That Zhou Xian is his grand-disciple and funnels a lot of benefits to him every year. Lately, he’s been very displeased with our teacher.”
’The Fourth Chief Judge… Wei Yinsuo…’ Su Chen frowned. ’Isn’t he the guy who took on a student with an Ink Jade Level Talent?’
“This year, he’s the chief examiner again. He might try to trip you up.”
Su Chen shook his head. “Zhou Xian colluded with the Deceitful God Sect. Why would he be displeased with our teacher?”
“It’s precisely because Zhou Xian’s collusion with the Deceitful God Sect implicated him to some extent. Add that to some previous grudges, and the resentment naturally fell on our teacher’s head,” Bu Siqi said helplessly.
Seeing Su Chen’s silence, Bu Siqi added, “Don’t worry about it too much. As long as Teacher can make it back before the assessment, all he can do is swallow his anger.”
“He took on a student with an Ink Jade Talent?” Su Chen asked.
Bu Siqi’s expression changed. After a long moment, a bitter smile appeared on his face. “Yeah. I don’t know how that old bastard got so lucky. An Ink Jade Level Talent…”
Seeing Su Chen fall silent again, he had intended to offer a few words of comfort, perhaps saying something about one’s Heart and the importance of effort.
But for some reason, the words died on his lips, his enthusiasm fading.
’That old bastard has a successor now, but on our teacher’s side…’
He glanced at Su Chen. Double Red Gold. A step below Ink Jade, but not without a hope of catching up.
