Summoners: One Golden Term per Level

Bai Qingzhao saw this, her originally expressionless face also revealed a smile.

She wasn’t very familiar with Su Muyu before, but during that time she went to Imperial University and had some interaction with Su Muyu, plus they went to the Ancient Secret Realm together.

Shen Fei, after all, had to deal with many things, and naturally, Su Muyu stayed with those she was familiar with.

Bai Qingzhao was relatively lucky, her tribe was one of the tribes under Jiu Li when it was formed, and she quickly joined Jiu Li.

”Familiar person?”

Su Muyu glanced at Fang Jiu, then looked at Bai Qingzhao. After all, coming to Chang’an University, naturally one would look for familiar people, and coincidentally, she had exchanged a few words with Bai Qingzhao before.

No way.

The main reason was her husband’s reputation at Imperial University was too big, not just among students of the same age, even those teachers had to call her ’Walking Lady’ when they saw her.

Perhaps only those a bit familiar with her, or her teachers, might call her by her full name.

If she wanted to make friends of the same age, people would only approach her to gain some connection, but Su Muyu just didn’t like this kind of relationship.

However, she really liked Bai Qingzhao’s personality.

Resembles her profession as a Sword Immortal, strong-willed like a sword, never bending.

”Not familiar.”

Bai Qingzhao shook her head, as Fang Jiu saw Su Muyu, his eyes lit up, unexpectedly Bai Qingzhao had such a friend, pure yet alluring.

But the next moment he saw Shen Fei beside her, and his familiar face left Fang Jiu startled, stammering, ”Shen...Shen Xingzou.”

Shen Fei raised an eyebrow slightly, just from that glance, Shen Fei knew this guy had bad intentions, and seeing Bai Qingzhao’s expression, worried it was some lecherous suitor.

”What’s your background.”

Shen Fei looked at Fang Jiu, speaking indifferently.

”I’m... Fang Jiu...” The previously swaggering Fang Jiu now completely watched his words carefully, now realizing Shen Xingzou’s wife’s appearance was identical to this woman.

Just very few reports made Fang Jiu fail to recognize initially.

”Fang Family member?”

”Yes, my humble self is from Fang Family in South China...”

”Alright.” Shen Fei was uninterested in associating with Fang Family members. He knew Fang Qingluan due to the Breaking Abyss Army, and as for Fang Ruxue, because they were both in Imperial University.

Other Fang Family members he wasn’t keen on befriending, even dealings with Fang Family were delegated to Gao Ya.

”I’ll take my leave then.”

Fang Jiu departed immediately, needing to discuss with his father.

Damn it.

Bai Qingzhao actually knew Shen Xingzou.

An aristocratic family survives for so many years not just because of hard lives; they also need sharp eyes to recognize people.

Whom can you provoke, whom you can’t!

At this moment, Su Muyu asked, ”I saw him standing here for a while, could it be Fang Family and Sword Immortal Lineage have established some ties?”

They had already arrived, avoiding appearing directly from West China Military Region’s station, just coming to Chang’an University in the usual way, seeing Fang Jiu talking with Bai Qingzhao from afar.

Initially thought they were friends, so Shen Fei and Su Muyu didn’t approach, planning to talk after they finished. But given their strength now, they quickly saw Bai Qingzhao’s impatience and Wuu Yuan’s discomfort.

Su Muyu directly came over.

”Sit down and chat.”

...

Inside the hot pot restaurant at Chang’an University.

Shen Fei and the other three walked into the hot pot restaurant, and upon seeing three stunning girls coming in together, many people’s eyes were fixed on them. But they soon recognized Bai Qingzhao.

However, Shen Fei following the three received countless stares from men, not everyone was like aristocratic family sons, who recognized Shen Fei.

But Shen Fei glanced back at each one.

It’s dinner time.

Many were here to eat hot pot.

Bai Qingzhao also had some reputation in Chang’an University, enabling her to secure a private room during mealtime.

Of course.

With Shen Fei’s name, they could clear out the place, but there was no need for that.

”This hot pot is Chang’an’s specialty, the ones you eat over there are not authentic!” Wuu Yuan used chopsticks to stir two pieces of fatty beef in the red soup base.

”Not necessarily. I had professors from the Imperial University’s God of Cookery Class prepare my broth, heard one just went through Second Transformation...” Su Muyu enjoyed spicy food as well.

Wuu Yuan was speechless, exchanging a glance with Bai Qingzhao, both seeing the other’s speechlessness.

Listen.

Is this something people say?

Having a recently transformed professor prepare your hot pot base?

No...

Professions like chefs start at the lowest as life professions, but could become rare support professions, or even unique professions.

Hence, Imperial University had corresponding classes.

But compared to combat professions, in terms of teaching staff and training plans, it was definitely far behind.

Yet this highlighted its rarity.

To reach Second Transformation in a support profession, even outside it’s a Grandmaster.

Items made with them are sold outside at sky-high prices.

Now this.

Adjusting your hot pot base.

”Your university, my university, seems different.” Wuu Yuan hummed.

”What did Fang want from you?”

Bai Qingzhao hesitated; she always felt guilty troubling others, while Wuu Yuan rushed to speak: ”Just an issue with Bai Family’s business...”

A moment later.

Su Muyu and Shen Fei continued eating and listening, realizing it partly related to Shen Fei.

After all, Shen Fei had equipment he couldn’t use, and lots of students in Innovation Association weren’t quick to utilize them.

Either given to Breaking Abyss Army or flowed into society.

Flowing into society needed a channel, and Shen Fei didn’t have a company under him.

Simply relying on Su Family, his in-laws.

Plus Shen Fei’s reputation, his market influence, while invisible, still allowed Su Family’s business to expand.

Although it didn’t impact larger influences much, as they respected him but couldn’t monopolize everything.

Yet for Su Family to grow, some had to make way.

Thus.

Families not so strong had to make space for Su Family, even squeezing Bai Family’s business.

Of course, it’s not like Su Family forced Bai Family and others to make space.

Simply.

In direct competition, even somewhat weaker competition, who could match Su Family backed by Shen Fei, not to mention Tier Four and Tier Five.

Su Family could even present King Level and Legendary Equipment.

Is that the same level?

If unable to compete, withdrawing was the only option.

And Fang Jiu wanted to leverage this for marriage with Bai Family.

”He’s so boastful, a toad wanting to eat swan meat? Even if Qingzhao wants marriage, it should be with Tang...” Su Muyu started to say something and quickly shut her mouth.

Avoiding overstating, but everyone present knew whom she referred to.

Shen Fei didn’t expect his actions to cause such changes in South China and said, ”If it’s all about cooperation, it might be better for Uncle Bai to approach my father-in-law...”

Profits are profits regardless who gets them.

Fang Family branch still having leverage over Bai Family demonstrated they held significant market share.

At this point.

Why not just let Bai Family profit, they were familiar.

”Discuss it with Muyu, take it as a minor issue, let’s eat first.”

Bai Qingzhao took a deep breath, seriously saying, ”Thank you.”

Shen Fei’s words were enough to resolve Bai Family’s pressing issues directly.

Wuu Yuan laughed: ”Should have asked Muyu, you were too proud.”

Bai Qingzhao blushed, ”What’s too proud, it’s the backbone of a Swordsman...”

”Why hesitate, all from South China.”

Shen Fei didn’t see an issue unless Bai Family intended to use his name for other purposes, but with Su Juncheng watching, it wouldn’t happen.

Su Muyu nodded, ”Should have told me earlier, it’s not a criminal act, Fang Jiu was the opportunist.”

A moment later.

Shen Fei received a call, ”Yeah, I’m at Chang’an University at this ’Seeking Fate Hot Pot’, Old Gao. Want to come and have some?”
