Chapter 146: Misinterpretation

“What’s the matter? Is there something wrong with that guy?”

Upon seeing that her disciple turned her head around and began staring closely onto a random guy that had just arrived at the wedding venue, Ning Zhi asked with a slight frown on her face.

“I… I don’t know… But my body seems to be yearning to… eat him up…?”

“…? Do you mean that figuratively or literally?”

With an extremely confused look on her face, Feng Xue said with an unsure tone while scratching onto her head with her right hand, “Figuratively… I think…? After all, I am not a cannibal who likes to eat human meat…”

Upon speaking up to here, Feng Xue suddenly had a light-bulb moment as she clapped her hands together, then turned her head over to her master and began speaking excitedly while with an excited look on her face.

“Ah! Master, I suddenly recalled the last time that I had a similar feeling to this current feeling that I’m feeling within my body!”

“It was back when you gave me that tier 5 magical treasure to refine!”

“That’s right, that’s right!”

“Back then when you first passed that tier 5 magical treasure over to me, my body had this urge of wanting to “devour” the magical treasure!”

“Or to be more precise, the urge of wanting to “devour” the fire spiritual energy and fire dao that were contained within the magical treasure!”

Right as Feng Xue finished speaking, she turned her eyes back over to Sebastian.

As of right now, Feng Xue felt that the reason she currently had this urge to “devour” Sebastian was most likely because Sebastian was carrying a high tier fire-elemental type magical treasure.

Thus, to be exact, her urge to “devour” wasn’t targeted at Sebastian, but the magical treasure that Sebastian was carrying with him.

Meanwhile, upon hearing what Feng Xue had said, Ning Zhi also immediately thought the same thing as Feng Xue, and thus, without hesitation, Ning Zhi began using her spiritual sense to sweep over Sebastian’s body.

Upon sensing that Sebastian didn’t seem to be carrying anything on his body, Ning Zhi looked over to the tier 2 spatial ring that Sebastian was wearing on his right middle finger, then began muttering to herself in her own mind while with a slight frown on her face.

“I don’t sense any sort of high energy output item on this guy’s body. So… the magical treasure is most likely stored within his spatial ring?”

“However… isn’t that a mere tier 2 spatial ring?”

“Furthermore, it’s a normal tier 2 spatial ring that doesn’t have any kind of energy concealment formation carved onto it.”

“If he does indeed possess a high tier magical treasure, and he is storing it in such a garbage spatial ring, shouldn’t I be able to sense the magical treasure’s spiritual energy leaking out from the spatial ring…?”

“Hmm, this is weird…”

“In any case, Feng Xue’s institution is most likely right. After all, her phoenix rebirth body is very sensitive toward fire spiritual energy and fire dao.”

“And from the looks of things, the magical treasure that is stored within this guy’s ring is most likely very beneficial toward Feng Xue, or else, her body wouldn’t be reacting the way it is reacting right now.”

“Thus, I have to get my hands onto this magical treasure no matter what.”

“Though… why do an energy refining realm cultivator possess such a high tier magical treasure, and even more, what is he doing carrying such a high tier magical treasure with him? Is he naïve or just dumb?”

“It is fortunate that he ran into such a benevolent golden core realm cultivator such as me, who is willing to buy his magical treasure. Or else, any other golden core realm cultivator would have just robbed him blind by using pure force.”

Upon muttering to herself in her own mind up to here…

Right when Ning Zhi was about to stand up and stop Sebastian in his footsteps…

Ning Zhi heard Dave calling out to Sebastian, followed by Sebastian responding to Dave.

Upon realizing that the guy she was looking at was actually Sebastian, various thoughts began racing through Ning Zhi’s mind.

“…?”

“Wait… This guy is Sebastian? The guy who Veronica had recommended for me to take in as a direct disciple of mine?”

“If that’s the case, it may actually explain why Veronica actually recommended me to take in Sebastian as a direct disciple…”

“I was thinking that it was very weird for Veronica to actually do such a thing like recommending a person who she possesses hardly any ties with for me to take in as a direct disciple…”

“From the looks of it, it is most likely that this guy used the magical treasure that he possesses to make a deal with Veronica.”

…

Upon arriving at Veronica’s table, Dave first cupped his hands at Ning Zhi, followed by cupping his hands at Talisman Crafter Wu, then finally began introducing Sebastian to everyone that was at the table before them.

“Everyone, this person over here is Sebastian, the groom of today’s wedding!”

“Sebastian, this is Elder Zhi, a golden core realm cultivator and also the great elder of Bright Moon Sect’s talisman crafting department!”

Upon hearing that the woman who Dave had just introduced to him was actually a golden core realm cultivator, and even more, was one of Bright Moon Sect’s great elders…

Without any hesitation, Sebastian hurriedly lowered his head and cupped his hands at Ning Zhi, then greeted respectfully, “Nice to meet you, Elder Zhi!”

Since Ning Zhi was intending to obtain Sebastian’s magical treasure, Ning Zhi decided to be friendly toward Sebastian.

Thus, instead of the usual where she would ignore low-realm cultivators’ greetings toward her, and especially a greeting from a lowly energy refining realm cultivator, she actually responded to Sebastian’s greeting.

“Hmm.” With an indifferent look on her face, Ning Zhi let out a groan as she nodded her head.
