In a secluded place, Feng Zhi’s eyes narrowed. She raised her hand and transformed into two icicles, shooting straight at Chu Yao.

While he was dodging, she rushed forward and pulled out a sharp blade without hesitation. She pressed it against his neck and asked.

“What exactly is your identity?”

Feng Zhi recalled the teacher’s respectful and fearful attitude toward him in the office, and her suspicion grew.

Chu Yao was too mysterious to her. Sometimes, being mysterious meant danger.

“Little girl, is this how you treat your savior?” Chu Yao chuckled.

“…”

Feng Zhi’s face heated up for a moment, but in the end, she let go of his hand.

She had originally planned to take advantage of Chu Yao’s panic to trick him into revealing his true identity, but now it seemed that his shrewdness was far deeper than she had imagined.

Forget it, at least he was really helping her now.

For such a powerful person, friends were better than enemies, so Feng Zhi had no choice but to give up.

“I once met a teacher in the black market, and he did some ugly things for me to see, so he was a little wary and gave me some face.”

Chu Yao flicked his sleeves as an explanation.

Feng Zhi did not believe it. She raised her eyebrows and dragged out her last syllable. “Is that so?”

“I’m here for business!”

Chu Yao hooked his finger and changed the topic.

Seeing that Feng Zhi did not come closer, he helplessly moved to her side and took out a map that looked like a rag.

“I’ve found the location of the fragment of the Philosopher’s Stone!”

He pointed at the place where the red paint was drawn on the map and said, “It’s hidden in the hinterland of the Dongxia Mountains. Do you want to go with me?”

Feng Zhi furrowed her brows. She was excited, but she still maintained her rationality and said, “Are you crazy?”

The East Summer Mountains was the mountain range behind the East Summer Academy. It was the holy land of cultivation in the eastern border country. There were countless magical beasts of all levels gathered there!

Although she had some confidence in her current strength and was working together with Chu Yao, she was only confident that she could barely make it past the outer mountain range!

According to the location marked on the map, the Philosopher’s Stone was in the depths of the swamp!

“That’s right. There’s a tier 2,1-star giant python guarding that place. Why? Little girl, are you afraid?”

Chu Yao shrugged and spoke.

Feng Zhi was speechless and could not help but laugh. She shook her head repeatedly as she spoke.

“Afraid? I’ve never been afraid of anything! But if I’m blindly confident, I’ll lose my life!”
