The next day, Wang Qi brought three people to the storeroom. "Senior Brother Su, everyone's here. Count them."
Su Junyu's mouth twitched. "What the hell am I, a human trafficker? There are only four people total—do I really need to count? Still, your efficiency was pretty good this time."
Wang Qi burst out laughing. "Of course, of course!"
However, after taking a close look at the three people Wang Qi had brought, the twitch at the corner of Su Junyu's mouth spread across his entire face. "These are the teammates you found?"
The first Qi Refining cultivator was a Half-Demon with orange hair. Su Junyu remembered her somewhat—she was the one Wang Qi had molested on his first day at the academy. He had later heard that Wang Qi had gotten along quite well with her, so Wang Qi had pulled her in to make up the numbers. But... she was a Half-Demon, a Half-Demon! Yes, Yangshen Pavilion had said there was no data proving that Half-Demons were less intelligent than humans, and the Immortal Alliance had repeatedly decreed that Half-Demons must not be discriminated against. But wasn't it universally acknowledged that Half-Demons were poor at calculations? Taking a Qi Refining Half-Demon on an exploratory trial?
Su Junyu himself was not prejudiced against Half-Demons. It was simply that Half-Demons were innately a notch inferior to humans in computational ability. Of course, this flaw could be made up through cultivation. A Golden Core Half-Demon's computational ability was roughly equal to that of a Golden Core human cultivator. Moreover, if the bloodline within a Half-Demon was related to a calculation-proficient exotic beast such as Baize, their computational ability could even surpass that of humans.
But a Qi Refining cat-type Half-Demon? Forget it!
Noticing Su Junyu studying her at length, Mao Zimiao gave
