Finally, the minor incident that occurred on my eighteenth birthday ended with me revealing my true identity to a small circle of friends.
At the same time, under my repeated instructions, my classmates and friends who attended the birthday party also said that they would keep it strictly confidential for me.
It can be seen that everyone seems to be very excited...
It seems like having a “practitioner” friend is so much fun!
Regarding the situation of the fight with Zhao Feifeng, I also told Niu Bi, Xiaoyuan Baisu and others in detail afterwards. They all exclaimed that they were surprised. Only Madoka, a stupid bird, looked down upon her and shouted that she was even more powerful than Zhao Feifeng before...
…
Shortly after the birthday party, it was the first day of January for the [Eling Ghost Market] to open.
Naturally, I wanted to take this opportunity to visit Sun Wukong.
"Uncle Sun, Aunt Feifeng came to see me a few days ago."
"who?"
"Zhao Feifeng. She said she is my master's best friend. You should know her, right?"
"It turns out to be this woman!"
Sun Wukong crossed his legs and sounded a little unhappy.
"Then she didn't come to see me when she came to Yucheng? And that woman of your master is really... obviously she has found Zhao Feifeng and told her about you. But she has never come to see me before! Obviously I should get to know him first. Your master’s.”
There was some dissatisfaction between the words.
"Maybe my master knows that Uncle Sun, you have been tricked by the order holder of Eling Ghost Market, and you need to stay here all the time. Coming to you will only make things difficult for you."
I smiled and recounted the situation at that time, and also explained a few words to Zhao Feifeng, saying that it was because my master urged her to go to Tibet to handle important urgent matters. Passing by Chongqing, time is in a hurry.
"Huh! They're all excuses. Anyway, when I, the old man, complete the agreement with the old man, I will go out to find them."
Sun Wukong complained, then jumped down from the table and walked around me a few times.
"Not bad, not bad! That woman Zhao Feifeng is not simple, she is a ruthless person, very powerful. Although I estimate that she did not even show 30% of her strength when she tested you, it is already very rare for you to be able to break through to her repeatedly. With your cultivation level The progress has been rapid.”
"In the Age of Ending Dharma when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is so thin, you have reached the realm of [Condensing Energy into Reality] at a young age, and your real combat power is obviously much higher than that of people in the same realm. It does not mean that you have lost the reputation of your master."
I quickly flattered him.
"Then Uncle Sun, you must be on the same level as Aunt Feifeng!"
Snapped!
Sun Wukong raised his furry palm and patted my head.
"Although you, Uncle Sun, and I think very highly of myself, I have one thing to say... you are indeed no match for Zhao Feifeng, and his level is not as good as hers. I guess this old man holding the order in [Eling Ghost Market] is about the same as her."
After a pause, he added another sentence.
"But this is when everyone is sensible and fighting normally. If we really have to fight hard, I, Old Sun, will still be stronger than the two of them!"
Sun Wukong looked very confident.
Although I don’t know why he is so sure, if in a desperate state, he is stronger than Zhao Feifeng and the [Eling Ghost Market] leader...
Maybe there is some special method?
It probably has something to do with the fact that neither Zhao Feifeng nor Sun Wukong themselves were willing to tell me about his cultivation realm?
I didn't think much about it.
When leaving, Sun Wukong gave me another pale gold earth-level low-grade talisman - he believed that I should have one close to me at all times to enhance my strength when encountering threats.
The previous one had been consumed during the "fight" with Zhao Feifeng.
At the same time he muttered curses and complained.
"This woman Zhao Feifeng! She wasted a good charm on my old grandson. She can test you if she wants. Why make it so real! Next time we have a chance to meet, I have to ask her to compensate..."
I laugh while saying nothing.
…
My senior year of high school was like being on the fast track.
Soon, the time came to May 2005, less than a month before the college entrance examination.
There is an atmosphere of anxiety and tension throughout the campus.
Although Yucheng No. 1 Middle School has always been known for its open and relaxed educational atmosphere, that is also relative. In front of the college entrance examination, no one can really relax!
After all, for 99% of people, getting admitted to a prestigious university can change their destiny. Or to stabilize the inheritance of one's own family class.
This is understandable.
But I happen to be one of the one percent!
After all, in the past three years in Chongqing, by helping various wealthy people solve supernatural events, reading Feng Shui, moving ancestral tombs and other "business" activities, as well as taking jobs from the Xiuxing Company's task library... I have accumulated a lot of money. I spent five million in cash and three large houses in downtown Chongqing.
In fact, I no longer have to worry about money!
He is no longer the poor boy from the countryside.
This is normal, as long as a practitioner in the realm of [Condensing Qi into Reality] is not deliberately practicing hard and making himself miserable. You can't be too poor!
So for the college entrance examination, I just have to abide by the agreement I made with my master, and I am not worried about getting into a prestigious university or making a good living in the future. So I need to relax a lot...
What's more, in the several city-wide mock tests before the college entrance examination, my scores were among the best in the city.
Compared with the college entrance examination, there is another thing that makes me really anxious and worried!
That is, after a year of continuous increase in the supernatural frequency of the entire Chongqing City, it has now reached a very alarming level...
Xiuxing Company’s statistics on [supernatural murders] have changed from once a month to once a day!
In other words, in this bustling reinforced concrete forest, people are being harmed by evil spirits every day!
In mid-May 2005, a forced pop-up window appeared on the chat interface of my smartphone, which was an overall notification from Xiuxing Southwest Branch.
Very formal!
The pop-up window will not disappear until you have finished reading it and confirmed it with your electronic signature.
Before this, all functions of the smartphone were locked.
This is the first time I have received this kind of pop-up message in more than two years since I joined Xiuxing Southwest Branch.
The pop-up message is very simple: Xiuxing Southwest Branch will hold an all-staff meeting on May 21, and all members must arrive on time!
The tone was unusually harsh.
You know, Xiuxing Company's rules have always been very loose. Even when Shen Rufeng brings senior executives back for meetings, there are often people who don't attend...
So everyone should not be careless when receiving this pop-up message!
Even members who perform tasks outside the main city must come back within a time limit.
That day, from the moment I walked into the lobby, I felt the atmosphere in the entire company was solemn.
When I walked into the conference hall with Niu Bi, Xiaoyuan, and Hu Xiaoyue, my colleagues from the company were already halfway there. But it was very quiet, without the usual relaxed and noisy sound.
Everyone sits according to the location of their special operations group.
I easily found a seat in the [Group Group].
When I walked over, I saw Yu Jing, Chen Junhui, Huang Hao and others with whom I usually had a good relationship, and they all just nodded slightly.
Company executives at executive level and above were all sitting on the stage. And I have never seen Shen Rufeng, who always smiles, look so serious!
His face was as dark as water, his eyebrows were furrowed into the character "Chuan", and he was talking quietly to Hu Ling who was sitting next to him...
Clearly, big changes have come!
The rest of the people entered one after another, and after everyone arrived, Shen Rufeng spoke.
