Feng Qi regretted it now. Bitterly regretted it. Afraid of causing needless trouble, he had not asked to swap seats with the person beside Su Jiu.
Now he could only grit his teeth and listen to everyone around him speculate about which sect their genius junior sister belonged to.
The banquet was quite noisy, and after hearing the chatter, the Sect Master of the Vast Righteousness Sect and several elders unconsciously paid more attention to the unusually beautiful female cultivator.
The Sect Master of the Vast Righteousness Sect had already reached the early out-of-body stage, yet he still froze for a moment when he examined Su Jiu's Cultivation Level.
He could not see through it! In other words, this female cultivator's Cultivation Level was higher than his!
It was even higher than Yun Huanling's, Yun Chao's, and Gu Ningyun's Cultivation Levels!
Never mind the other disciples present-even he could not immediately think of which sect might have sent this female cultivator.
Meanwhile, Su Jiu was still catching up with the two companions she had not seen in a long time.
From Yun Huanling and Gu Ningyun, Su Jiu learned that the two had happened to run into each other while crossing the sea to come here. Since their Cultivation Levels and traveling speeds were similar, they had decided to make the journey together.
"Did you come on your masters' orders too, like Yun Chao?"
Gu Ningyun nodded. "We aren't particularly close to the Vast Righteousness Sect, but we may cooperate in the future, so I came as the Heavenly Music Pavilion's representative."
Yun Huanling curled his lip in distaste. "Originally, my senior brother was supposed to come, but I secretly cast a divination for him and found that the signs were terrible. Ten paths to death, scarcely one to life.
