Chapter 93

Over the next two days, Zhan Yi's life finally stabilized. Not only did the three girls successfully enroll in school, but Hu Meier also stopped making things difficult for him. The three young men, due to their romantic pursuits, became more well-behaved.

This made Zhan Yi feel that life seemed to have returned to the past, but he did not abandon his surveillance of the Zhao family. Now, with Wang Temin and others as his subordinates, it was much easier to gather information. However, what puzzled Zhan Yi was that the Zhao family, particularly Zhao Dalong and his son, seemed to have no intention of making a move against him. Zhao Guang's injuries were almost healed, and he was about to return to school.

This left Zhan Yi perplexed. Based on his understanding of the Zhao family, they were not the type to let things go so easily. Could there be some kind of plot?

After school one day, as Zhan Yi was about to leave the school gate, Hu Meier blocked his path, looking very anxious. "Zhan Yi, can you help me with something?"

Zhan Yi didn't know what had happened, but seeing Hu Meier's anxious expression, he knew it must be serious. Without hesitation, he said, "What's wrong, Meier?"

"Follow me, I'll tell you when we get there." Hu Meier then pulled Zhan Yi and started walking.

Zhan Yi had no choice but to follow. They ran for a while and soon arrived at a villa complex not far from the school. Hu Meier led Zhan Yi directly into one of the villas and stopped in front of a particular one.

Hu Meier pressed the doorbell a few times, and the door was quickly opened. Zhan Yi, puzzled, asked, "Meier, you're not going to tell me this is your home, are you?"

"Of course it is, but the main reason I brought you here today is not to introduce you to my home. I really need your help with something important. My parents will explain it to you inside." Hu Meier said matter-of-factly.

As they spoke, they entered the villa's courtyard. A middle-aged couple came out of the villa, and upon seeing Zhan Yi and Hu Meier, they seemed particularly happy. They smiled at Hu Meier and said, "Meier, is this the classmate you mentioned?"

"Yes, Mom and Dad," Hu Meier nodded lightly, seeming especially happy to have brought Zhan Yi back. She then introduced Zhan Yi to her parents.

Using his ability to recognize demons, Zhan Yi knew that Hu Meier's parents were fox spirits, and their demonic aura was even stronger, with more powerful energy fluctuations. Zhan Yi politely nodded at them, "Uncle and Aunt, hello."

"Ha ha, young man, you certainly have a good appearance. Come, let's go inside and talk." Hu Meier's father laughed heartily, seemingly very appreciative of Zhan Yi.

They all entered the house, but once inside, Zhan Yi noticed that there were many people, or rather, many fox spirits, with varying levels of cultivation. There were men and women, old and young, and they seemed to be discussing something important.

Seeing Zhan Yi enter, their expressions varied. Some smiled, some looked disdainful, some seemed very disappointed, and others scrutinized him closely.

Zhan Yi felt slightly uncomfortable. He didn't know why Hu Meier had urgently called him here, so he could only nod slightly at the people in the room.

Hu Meier seemed to notice Zhan Yi's awkwardness and quickly led him to a middle-aged beauty sitting in the center. She bowed and said, "Grandma, this is my classmate Zhan Yi. I brought him here to ask for his help."

"Hello, Grandma," Zhan Yi nodded. He could tell that this middle-aged beauty was the most respected person in the room, and he could also sense the strongest energy fluctuations from her.

"He he, young man, please sit down," the beauty smiled at Zhan Yi.

"Thank you, but may I ask what exactly is going on here?" Zhan Yi felt uncomfortable with the roundabout atmosphere and decided to ask directly.

"Ah... Zhan classmate, since Meier has brought you here, I believe you are someone we can trust. But I wonder if she has told you about our background?" The beauty sighed lightly, seeming somewhat helpless.

"He he, actually, there's no need for Meier to tell me. I already know that you are fox spirit cultivators," Zhan Yi smiled faintly.

"Ah, how did you know?" Hu Meier asked immediately, and the others in the room also stared at Zhan Yi closely.

"Everyone, please don't be surprised. This is a personal ability of mine. Actually, this is also why I didn't want to get close to you at first, Meier. Even though you were wearing a mask, I already knew you were a demon," Zhan Yi explained.

The others understood after Zhan Yi's explanation, and Hu Meier looked enlightened. The middle-aged beauty, however, seemed even more interested in Zhan Yi after hearing his words: "He he, Zhan classmate, you are indeed no ordinary person. Since you know, I won't hide it from you. Yes, we are fox spirit cultivators, and we have brought you here today to ask for your help in dealing with our enemies."

"Oh, I see. But Grandma, with so many people here, how can you be sure I can help you?" Zhan Yi finally understood the situation, but he felt a bit uncertain. Although his overall strength had greatly improved recently, he also realized that there were many people in the world he could not defeat.

"He he... Zhan classmate, you are too modest. According to Meier, you are not afraid of cultivators at the Lianxu stage. What could you not help us with?" The beauty laughed lightly.

"Well... actually, my survival that time was purely by chance," Zhan Yi knew the old lady was referring to his battle with Xuanyang on Zhongnan Mountain.

"Grandma, I don't think he can do it. He's just a young man in his twenties. Even if he started cultivating from birth, how much could he have achieved?" Before the old lady could respond, a handsome young man named Hu Jun spoke up.

"Hu Jun, don't speak rashly. Cultivation cannot be measured by age alone," the middle-aged beauty scolded Hu Jun, but without much severity.

"Grandma, Cousin Hu Jun, you don't know how strong Zhan Yi is. Zhan Yi, show everyone what you can do," Hu Meier, understanding that no one in the room believed in Zhan Yi's strength, pleaded with him.

"Well... Meier, this place is so small, how can I demonstrate anything? And there's no one to spar with," Zhan Yi was hesitant. He had just mastered the technique of externalizing energy, and there wasn't much he could truly demonstrate.

"He he, isn't that simple? If Zhan classmate is willing to perform, I, Hu Jun, will accompany you. What do you say?" Hu Jun spoke up before anyone else could.

Zhan Yi looked at him, feeling a bit frustrated. This guy had been looking down on him since he entered, and now he was challenging him. Zhan Yi felt it was necessary to give him a lesson. With a sincere expression, he said, "Sir, don't be hasty. I do need someone to help me demonstrate, but you definitely won't do. I think you are too weak, and I'm afraid I might accidentally hurt you badly."
