Uncle?

Ji Pingyang's nephew?

A jolt went through Qiao Yu. Although he didn't know what the Qin surname meant in Kyoto, just the identity of being Ji Pingyang's nephew was prominent enough.

You had to know that in addition to being the president of Kyoto University, Ji Pingyang was also the number one sword cultivator in the otherworld!

With such a great figure as a backer, it was no wonder Qin Xuan was so arrogant.

"Don't worry, I'm not telling you this to use my influence to pressure you."

Seeing Qiao Yu's reaction, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Qin Xuan's eyes.

"On the contrary, I'm here to give you an opportunity."

"An opportunity to follow me! Follow me, and you'll have women, power, and money!"

Qin Xuan's words were nothing if not arrogant. Before Qiao Yu could react, Ma Fei exploded.

"Being a lackey is being a lackey, what do you mean 'follow'? I'll follow your mom selling... Mmph! Mmph mmph!"

A slender hand covered Ma Fei's mouth.

Qiao Yu looked at Qin Xuan.

"Follow you? Sure, but you have to agree to one condition first," Qiao Yu said.

Ma Fei and Yang Xiangdi, whose mouths were covered, instantly revealed incredulous expressions.

They stared at Qiao Yu, their eyes full of doubt.

Qiao Yu would become someone's lackey? Was he kidding?

"Oh? Let's hear it," Qin Xuan said with interest.

"I want you to help me find someone. His name is Qiao Anqing, and he used to be a student at Kyoto University, completing his bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in succession."

Qiao Yu looked at Qin Xuan expressionlessly.

"If you can let me see him, then following you might not be out of the question."

"Qiao Yu!"

Ma Fei angrily pushed away Qiao Yu's hand that was covering his mouth.

"I've always considered you my rival, and you're going to be this scumbag's lackey?"

"I've really misjudged you!"

Bang!

An angry Ma Fei stormed out.

Unfortunately, Qiao Yu ignored him.

"I thought it was something important. Don't worry, finding someone like this is a piece of cake for my Qin family!"

Qin Xuan confidently patted his chest, then reached out to put his arm around Qiao Yu's shoulders.

Qiao Yu took a step back to avoid Qin Xuan's hand.

"In that case, let's talk after you find him."

Qin Xuan's face turned ugly, and he coldly snorted.

"Just you wait, I'll find that person in three days, and then I'll make you kneel and beg me!"

After saying that, Qin Xuan left the president's office.

Yang Xiangdi, who had been holding back the whole time, finally asked, "Yu-ge, are you really going to be that second-generation rich kid's lackey? Are you kidding?"

Qiao Yu rolled his eyes at him.

"Him? I wouldn't even want him as my lackey, he's too clumsy."

"Then why didn't you beat him up? I couldn't stand his face, could the three of us not beat him?" Yang Xiangdi asked.

"Beating him up is easy, but since he has such a background and ability, why not let him investigate my dad's whereabouts? If he can't find anything and still dares to cause trouble, then we'll have a legitimate reason to beat him up," Qiao Yu explained.

"What if he really finds him?" Yang Xiangdi asked.

Qiao Yu smiled.

"Even Principal Ji couldn't find him, what makes you think he can? If he can find him, then I'll really have to thank him, and bring him some Brain Gold during the holidays."

Hearing this, Yang Xiangdi immediately gave him a thumbs up.

Yang Xiangdi: "Yu-ge, you're really good at being a dog!"

Qiao Yu: "Hehehe, likewise, likewise."

Yang Xiangdi: "I knew Ma Fei didn't understand you enough, do you want to explain it to him?"

Qiao Yu: "It's okay, let him be angry for now, have you forgotten his talent?"

"That's right, you're so unbearable in his eyes, and others say he's not as good as you..."

Yang Xiangdi's eyes lit up instantly, and he rubbed his hands in anticipation.

"Damn, will Ma Fei directly transform into a sword god? I'm afraid even Satan would be killed by his sword."

At this time, Ma Fei, walking on campus, did indeed have some of the demeanor of a sword god.

His face was gloomy, and extreme anger caused sword energy to surge within a meter of him. His slender body was like a sharp sword gleaming with cold light.

He regarded Qiao Yu as his greatest rival, but Qiao Yu was actually going to be someone else's lackey, which Ma Fei couldn't accept at all.

It was as if the idol you had always followed had suddenly collapsed.

"This sword energy..."

Ji Pingyang, who was about to return to his office, seemed to sense something. He suddenly turned his head and stared at Ma Fei's departing back.

"Principal, what's wrong?" a teacher asked.

"It's nothing, maybe I sensed it wrong. How could a student have sword energy that even I feel apprehensive about?"

Ji Pingyang smiled and shook his head, then pushed open the door and walked into the office. Qiao Yu and Yang Xiangdi immediately stood up from their chairs.

"Hello, Principal!"

"Qiao Yu, right? Don't be nervous, I've already heard about your situation from Peng Liangji. Hold out your hand and let me take a look."

Hearing this, Qiao Yu stretched out his arm.

Ji Pingyang first stared at Qiao Yu's arm for a while, then his brows slowly furrowed.

"How is it, Principal? Is there still hope for Yu-ge?" Yang Xiangdi asked nervously.

"If it were when he first got the curse, I would have a way, but now that it's been delayed..."

Ji Pingyang frowned and shook his head.

Qiao Yu's expression also became a little ugly. He originally didn't take the drought demon's curse seriously at all, but now he was being told that he might really die?

"I'll help you ask around to see where 'Sage's Refuge' is for sale. That should be the most reliable method."

After Ji Pingyang finished speaking, he closed his eyes and began to look for acquaintances in the otherworld network.

Qiao Yu's expression was still ugly. He used to have a Sage's Refuge, but he used it up when he fought Xun Dong.

This kind of one-time S-grade item was like having an extra life. What fool would take it out for sale?

Even if there was one, it would definitely sell for a sky-high price. It was estimated that all the big shots in the otherworld would gather, after all, no one would complain about having too many lives.

The possibility of the drought demon's curse disappearing on its own was greater than the possibility of buying Sage's Refuge.

Sure enough, after a while, Ji Pingyang opened his eyes and shook his head with a dark face.

"I haven't found one yet, but don't worry, that curse should still have seven or eight days before it takes effect. I will do my best to help you find it!"

Ji Pingyang's expression was firm, and his whole person was like a sharp blade out of its sheath.

"No need, Principal. Besides Sage's Refuge, is there really nothing else that can break this curse?" Qiao Yu asked.

Ji Pingyang thought for a while, and his expression changed slightly.

"There is something, but with your current strength..."

Ji Pingyang observed Qiao Yu and then shook his head.

"Forget it, sending you to that place would be worse than letting you wait for the curse to take effect and die."
