Chen Feng walked up to Su Qingyuan and bowed in greeting.

However, that was all. Looking at this genius from a prestigious family, Chen Feng showed no fear whatsoever.

"You need something from me?" Chen Feng said loudly.

Upon hearing Chen Feng's blunt words, Su Qingyuan immediately raised her eyebrows, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

The Su family is one of the eight prominent families in Gu Yong Shangcheng.

Not only has the family managed the core institution of Gu Yong Shangcheng, the Spirit Energy Refinery, for generations, but they also own a large building in the core residential area of ​​Shangcheng. Su Chengyuan, the head of the Su family, was once the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice of the Great Xia Kingdom.

As the eldest daughter of the family, Su Qingyuan was exceptionally talented. She not only became a Heaven-rank expert at a young age, but was also chosen as the family's heir from childhood. Naturally, she was always supported and liked by those around her.

When did you ever experience the cold shoulder from an ordinary citizen?

I doubt we even have a chance to meet normally.

"Let me see your job offer letter." Su Qingyuan stretched out her hand to Chen Feng and waved it.

Seeing Su Qingyuan's arrogance, Chen Feng merely smiled and sat down in the chair opposite her, still holding the job offer letter in his hand.

"Why?" Chen Feng asked calmly.

"Because I am the academy's assistant instructor, it is necessary for me to find out the background of each student," Su Qingyuan said loudly.

"Okay then."

Su Qingyuan took the job offer letter from Chen Feng, glanced at it briefly, and then returned it to Chen Feng.

"To think you were recommended by the Great Xia Special Envoy Delegation, you must be quite capable. Where did you serve before? Which city and family were you from?"

"I am a citizen of Starfish City and I used to be the captain of the Starfish City Guard and a member of the TN71 Red Fox Combat Team."

Su Qingyuan did not respond immediately, but her clear, almond-shaped eyes, as cold as a deep pool, were fixed on Chen Feng, her fingertips casually tapping the black ebony wooden table in front of her.

The air of arrogance that had been on his face vanished completely, replaced by a scrutinizing gaze as precise as a scalpel.

Although he was simply sitting in a chair, a faint, ethereal sense of celestial power emanated from his body.

That perception was extremely peculiar. It was not the crude spiritual energy scan of an ordinary Heavenly Realm expert, but rather like a gentle spring breeze and rain, quietly seeping into Chen Feng's pores. Even Chen Feng's Vajra Core could not completely block this hair-thin probe.

"Captain of the Starfish City Guard, a member of the Red Fox Squad TN71 base?" Su Qingyuan parted her thin lips slightly, repeating Chen Feng's words, her voice carrying a faint smile at the end.

"But I think there's more to your words than what you've said."

Chen Feng's expression remained cold.

He hadn't sensed any unusual psionic intrusion, but the woman in front of him seemed to have seen through something about Chen Feng.

"You are a peak Earth-rank Demon Slayer, yet the impurities in your Demon Slayer Core seem to have been refined, leaving almost no impurities. Combined with your physical attributes..."

Ordinary Heavenly Realm experts can at most see potential of the same level. Some with weak minds might even mistakenly judge Chen Feng as a newcomer who has only recently entered the Earth Realm.

However, Su Qingyuan in front of him seemed to possess a lucky contract system, as she could actually see through his potential panel.

Could she also be an exorcist?

Su Qingyuan leaned forward slightly, her clear gaze meeting Chen Feng's eyes.

Her tone was undeniably certain: "You can't hide it from me, Su Qingyuan. You've already reached the threshold of the Earth Rank peak, a true half-step Heaven Rank. Your Demon-Controlling Core has already completed the preliminary tempering for Heaven Rank transformation, its barrier as thin as a cicada's wing, just waiting for the right opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng's smile froze slightly.

His disguise of rank is an inherent concealment ability of the Vajra Core of the Demon Slayer. Not to mention a strong early-stage Heaven Rank expert, even a strong mid-stage Heaven Rank expert would never be able to see through him so clearly.

However, Su Qingyuan in front of him not only saw through his true realm at a glance, but also had a clear understanding of the degree of tempering of his Vajra Core.

It is indeed somewhat unbelievable.

Chen Feng nodded, and he began to truly take the Su family's eldest daughter seriously.

"Miss Su's guess is correct; I am indeed not far from reaching the Heavenly Rank," Chen Feng said. "However, I don't understand why we two are just strangers who met by chance, and Miss Su is from a prestigious family. Why would she care so much about the true situation of a mere resident of Haixing City?"

Upon hearing this, the air in the room seemed to pause for a moment.

Because every rational person knows that no one would speak to Su Qingyuan like that.

Su Qingyuan clearly hadn't expected Chen Feng to make such a blunt joke. She didn't rush to refute him, but simply leaned back in her chair, revealing the noble and aloof air that was ingrained in the bones of a daughter of a prestigious family.

"Care?" She repeated the two words, her voice rising slightly at the end, carrying a hint of barely perceptible mockery. "Chen Feng, you're even more outspoken than I expected."

She raised her hand, her fingertips lightly tracing Chen Feng's job offer letter on the table, but her words were clear and distinct.

"First, I am responsible for reviewing the qualifications of students under Instructor Yu Qian. I must review the background of every student who comes to Yu Qian's tutelage. Second, you are someone personally recommended by the Great Xia Special Envoy—in the past three years, no more than three people in the entire Gu Yong Upper City have been recommended for admission by the Special Envoy Group as an exception... so I need to investigate this matter personally."

Chen Feng looked up at Su Qingyuan opposite him, his face showing genuine respect: "Assistant Su, you have a good eye. I admire you. If you have nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Chen Feng rolled up his job offer letter again and was about to leave.

"Wait." Su Qingyuan raised her eyebrows slightly, a faint hint of intimidation flashing in her eyes.

"Is there anything else, Assistant Su?" Chen Feng asked.

After a two-second silence, Su Qingyuan slowly spoke, her tone now genuinely serious: "You only see me as an assistant tutor at the academy, and you only think I was just routinely checking up on you?"

Chen Feng didn't respond, waiting for her to continue.

Su Qingyuan looked at Chen Feng's unruly nature beneath his polite demeanor, but a hint of interest seemed to appear in her eyes.

"My mentor, Yu Qian, is one of the top three Wilderness-ranked mentors in the academy. With just a word from him, all the families in Gu Yong Upper City would fight tooth and nail to achieve their goals. And I am one of his only three personal disciples, holding the reins for him to accept disciples," Su Qingyuan said, word by word.

"So, what is Miss Su trying to say in such a roundabout way?"

"What I mean is, since I saw you first, you can only be one of our mentors, Yu Qian."

"And I like your straightforward personality, which is similar to mine. I'm giving you a chance: choose to join or be forced to join by me."

Su Qingyuan spoke calmly, but a hint of a domineering smile appeared on her lips.

"Of course, I prefer the latter."
