Chapter 201 A Better Teacher

Yun Fuzhao's heart skipped a beat. Only the people of the Southern Continent knew about her contract with the dragon race. This man was also from the Southern Continent.

To be able to create such a realistic fantasy, or to allow her to enter her past memories, this man's cultivation level must be quite high.

The Hall of Rebirth? The Ghost Realm? The Xuan Tian Sect's patriarch? Or perhaps a force lurking in the shadows, unknown to her?

Yun Fuzhao's mind raced.

Just as she was racking her brains, Ji Zhiqu tapped her fingers on the armrest, the crisp sound successfully bringing her back to her senses.

Yun Fuzhao stared straight at him.

"How's your thinking? Are you willing to exchange your dragon clan for it?"

Trading the Dragon Clan for the Jade Marrow Mushroom would be a huge loss. The Dragon Clan was her trump card for survival; she absolutely couldn't give it up. But her master was waiting for the Jade Marrow Mushroom to repair his meridians…

[Yun Family Brigade 5, Ziqian: Don't change it. That's your life-saving charm; you shouldn't hand it over.]

[Qi Teng, Yun Family Team 2: That's right. Even if you hand over the Dragon Clan, he might not be willing to give you the Jade Marrow Mushroom.]

Seeing the comments from the experts, Yun Fuzhao felt much more at ease.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't agree." Yun Fuzhao looked at him. "It seems I can't pass your test."

Ji Zhi didn't say anything.

He lowered his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

Yun Fuzhao felt extremely uneasy. If she failed the test, would she be able to leave safely?

Thinking of something, Yun Fuzhao asked, "May I ask you a question, senior?"

"ask."

"If the test is an equal exchange, then why did you make me see those things?"

"..."

Whether these words touched a nerve or not, Ji Zhi's expression turned noticeably cold. He stood up abruptly.

The tall figure enveloped Yun Fuzhao.

He looked down at her, then suddenly laughed, “I’m very satisfied with how that man died. I’m willing to relive it over and over again. I’ll share it with you all as well.”

It's both perverse and reasonable.

"I'm in a good mood today. Since you're unwilling, I can give you another option."

Yun Fuzhao looked at him warily. "What?"

“I know you possess the Key to Destiny,” Ji Zhi said, extending his hand. “Give it to me. Is it too much to ask for this in exchange?”

How could he even know about the key to destiny?

Only Ge Kui, Ke Ruotong, and Yu Ze knew that Yun Fuzhao possessed the Key to Destiny. She hadn't even had a chance to tell Qi Huai yet.

How did this man know?

Could he be an undercover agent working for her?

Furthermore, does she even know how many of them she knows?

"How's your decision? I don't usually give people a second chance."

Compared to dragons, the Key of Destiny can indeed be used for exchange.

“Yes,” Yun Fuzhao said, “Can you guarantee that I can have whatever I want?”

Ji Zhi chuckled, "Of course."

“I want the Jadeite Mushroom,” Yun Fuzhao said, looking at him. “Since you are so confident, why don’t you bring it out for me to inspect?”

“Yun Fuzhao,” Ji Zhi narrowed his eyes, “Do I look like someone who’s easy to talk to?”

Since it's an equal exchange, Yunfu Zhao doesn't need to be so submissive. "It's simply a matter of each getting what they need. Besides, my request is quite reasonable, isn't it? Senior, are you perhaps feeling guilty?"

To be honest, Yun Fuzhao was the first person to dare to speak to him like that; the grass on the last grave was already three feet tall.

Logically, Kino should have twisted her head off and used it as a ball by now. But looking at the smug and cunning look in her eyes as she said this, Kino decided to let her go.

He flipped his wrist, and the jade-like translucent chalcedony appeared in his palm.

Yun Fuzhao couldn't tell if it was real or fake, so she could only ask the experts in the live stream for help. Only after receiving a positive answer did Yun Fuzhao feel relieved.

She took out a key of destiny from her storage bag.

The two exchanged places.

Yun Fuzhao clasped his hands in thanks to him, saying, "Thank you, senior."

Ji nodded.

"I have a companion who came with me, but I don't know where he is now?"

"...You'll see him when you go out."

"it is good."

Yun Fuzhao turned around and tried to leave without stopping, but she bumped into that thick wall of invisible energy. She hissed in pain.

A low chuckle came from behind. "Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Yun Fuzhao reasonably suspected that he did it on purpose; this person was like a solid black sesame-filled glutinous rice ball—black inside and out.

Before lifting his foot again, Yun Fuzhao reached out and touched it. Great, the invisible wall had disappeared.

Yun Fuzhao didn't bother to talk to him and immediately walked out.

The surrounding scenery changed little by little, and Yun Fuzhao returned to that dense forest.

Seeing the familiar scene, Yun Fuzhao breathed a sigh of relief, almost thinking he was going to die there.

"grown ups!"

Yu Che's voice came through.

Yun Fuzhao turned around and saw Yu Che looking anxious. "I don't know why I suddenly fell into a coma, and when I woke up again, you were no longer by my side. I searched all around but couldn't find you."

He carefully examined her to make sure she wasn't injured before he finally felt relieved. "It's good that you're not hurt."

Yun Fuzhao patted his shoulder, "Don't you even know who I am?"

She picked up the chalcedony mushroom and said, "Look, here it is."

Yu Che's eyes lit up. "You're amazing, sir."

"Absolutely."

Yun Fuzhao led him back the way they came.

Before leaving Linglu Mountain, Yun Fuzhao looked back. "It's called Linglu Mountain, but I didn't see a single deer. It's probably just a place to commemorate it."

Behind her, Yu Che heard every word she said.

With his lips pursed, Yu Che's expression was meaningful. But after she turned around, he transformed into a docile and obedient demeanor.

Having obtained the Jade Marrow Mushroom, Yun Fuzhao must immediately return to the Southern Continent.

Before leaving, she visited the nameless family. The lifelike puppet was indeed a treasure; no one noticed anything amiss even after she was gone for three or four days.

Of course, it's also possible that no one knows her.

Yun Fuzhao went to find Yu Zhiyue, but unexpectedly saw the proud and talented older sister she had mentioned.

"Zhiyue, stop fooling around and come back to the Yu family with me."

Yu Muqing said gently, "As long as you apologize to your parents, they will forgive you."

"Why? What did I do wrong?" Yu Zhiyue shouted. "They called me useless and beat me over the smallest things. What's the point of me going back to a home like this?"

Yu Muqing disagreed, "Your parents are doing this for your own good. They want you to be successful more than anyone else. But what about you? You gave up the resources of the Yu family and came to this kind of aristocratic family to waste your life."

"Sister, it's so easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering." Yu Zhiyue's eyes reddened. "You're not the one being compared and ridiculed, so of course you can't empathize with me."

Yu Muqing pinched her brow, annoyed by these words, and continued, "If you can't even handle this small setback, how will you face bigger difficulties in the future?"

As soon as Yun Fuzhao entered, he heard this sentence.

When Yu Zhiyue saw Yun Fuzhao arrive, she grabbed her and said to Yu Muqing, "I'm not going back. I have a better teacher!"
