To be fair, Shen Feng was indeed cute when he was a child, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but now his baby face has a bluish tinge.

He glared at Gu Yu, but spoke to Jiang Ning, "How did you know it was me?"

Could it be that Gu Yu secretly told them using his divine sense? This liar, he clearly promised not to reveal his identity.

"Gu Yu said you're stupid, and that's true."

When Jiang Ning faced Shen Feng, he could hardly say anything nice. "Have you forgotten that we met when we were kids?"

The Green Mountain Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect are the two largest sects in the Southern Continent. No matter how much they try to trip each other up behind the scenes, they maintain a very harmonious state on the surface. The Jiang family and the Shen family are both prominent families in the cultivation world, so it is not surprising that they have met.

Shen Feng felt a pang of guilt and didn't continue the conversation.

Ye Lan, on the other hand, looked at Jiang Ning with curiosity. He had never heard of the two having met in their childhood. However, there were many things he had never heard of before. If he hadn't remembered the contents of the introduction, he wouldn't have thought anything of it.

Meeting his gaze, Jiang Ning explained in a low voice, "I was only seven years old then, and this idiot even stole my things. If my father hadn't stopped him, he would have beaten him sooner or later."

Shen Feng gritted his teeth: "I'm still here! Can't you speak a little quieter?"

Gu Yu looked at him more like he was an idiot. Even if Jiang Ning spoke in a low voice, did he think it would be okay if he couldn't hear her?

Shen Feng was furious, but he was only up to their waists and looked insignificant.

Yun Zhi listened for a long time before realizing that this "little friend" was actually an adult just like them, and the Shen Feng they were talking about was him, only he didn't know why he had turned into a child.

She pointed at Shen Feng and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

Gu Yu's expression showed a slight disdain. "Because he was stupid and insisted on following others, he was cursed by the demons and turned back into a child."

Ye Lan: "So, this time you've come..."

If this child really is Shen Feng, it shouldn't be like what Gu Yu said, a chance encounter.

Gu Gu put away his disdainful expression and became serious. He said in a deep voice, "There has been a famine all over the Southern Continent recently. The Heavenly Sword Sect sent people out to purchase food, but they were a step behind you. After those disciples arrived in the Northern Continent, they did not find anything and only managed to buy some in the Eastern Continent."

Needless to say, Xizhou has always been relatively poor, so they wouldn't go there for procurement.

Gu Yu paused briefly, then continued, "According to reports from our spies in the Northern Continent, someone is purchasing large quantities of grain there, and they are not from the Southern Continent."

"When this fool received news that a large amount of grain had been transported to Haicheng, he said he wanted to come and see for himself who had gotten there before him."

As a result, Gu Yu encountered Jiang Ning and others at Sanshengxuan, and then led his men to the seaside.

Jiang Ning asked, "Then why did you come along as well?"

The two have always been at odds, and they even fought each other before. Although their relationship seems to have eased now, Gu Yu still shows his disdain for Shen Feng in every way.

Gu Yu replied with a grin, "I came to see him lose face, and I'll leave with you after I'm done. It's been a long time since I've tasted Brother Ye's cooking, and I've missed it very much."

Jiang Ning stood in front of Ye Lan, slightly shielding him behind her.

Gu Yu narrowed his eyes, realizing that the relationship between the two was clearly different now.

Shen Feng shared the same feeling. He looked Jiang Ning up and down, never expecting that Jiang Ning would like men.

Gu Yu fanned himself again, and said with a slightly sour tone, "Brother Jiang is really going to have endless good food in the future. I am truly envious."

Ye Lan wanted to complain when she heard this. This person clearly had no feelings for her, but her tone sounded like a sour chicken.

Jiang Ning: "Tell the truth, or you two will leave together."

"Tsk," Gu Yu said, feigning annoyance, "Talking to smart people like you is such a hassle; you can't even tell a lie."

"Because when he was being chased by the demons under a curse, he happened to meet me. He gave me 100,000 high-grade spirit stones and asked me to protect him for a month, so I came along with him."

Young Master Shen is truly wealthy, giving away 100,000 high-grade spirit stones so readily. Previously, Sang Yu only earned 30,000 high-grade spirit stones for a single mission, and Ye Lan and the others had to scrape together the money for quite some time. Even Yun Zhi was astonished when she heard this amount.

Ye Lan: "So, if you're coming with us, are you taking him with you?"

"No, no, today is the last day. I have something to discuss with Brother Jiang. Let's go quickly."

Gu Yu then stopped wasting time and called over the guards hiding in the shadows to protect Shen Feng. He then pulled Jiang Ning and the others away.

Jiang Ning didn't say anything about Gu Yu following him. Anyway, even if he wasn't allowed to follow, Gu Yu would find him on his own later.

As for Shen Feng, Jiang Ning made it clear that he didn't want to see him, and now that Gu Yu isn't bringing him along, that's exactly what he wanted.

After bidding farewell to General Li, they flew away on their swords. Gu Yu and Yun Zhi followed behind, side by side. Yun Zhi asked him curiously, "Is that person your older or younger brother?"

The two look quite alike, but their personalities are very different. The person in front of them seems to have a more approachable personality.

Gu Yu: "No, even if it were, it wouldn't be anything special."

Once they reached the empty forest, Jiang Ning controlled his flying sword to descend, and the others followed him.

The surrounding area was filled with lush, tall trees, and when he explored the surroundings with his divine sense, he found no other people.

Jiang Ning set up a barrier, surrounding the four of them. "Speak, what do you want to say to us?"

Gu Yu was unusually serious. He said, "The Demon Clan will soon find out about your large-scale grain purchases. Other sects in the Southern Continent are doing the same thing. This famine will be over soon. I wonder if you understand the Demon Clan's purpose this time?"

Jiang Ning recalled the old city lord's words and asked, "To resurrect the Demon Emperor?"

The other party is aware of this matter, so things will be easier from here on out.

Gu Yu: "Since you all understand, then I'll be frank. They are determined to do this. If there is no famine, they will definitely use force, and then it will probably be a bloodbath."

Ye Lan's heart sank. "So, we're just going to let the people starve to death?"

Gu Yu shook his head: "Hunger will also cause many people to die. I just want to remind you that we are likely to have a tough battle ahead, so we need to prepare in advance."
