Chapter 246: Chapter 246

"Jiu Li, if I remember correctly, you’re from Nanjiang Luo City, aren’t you?"

"I watched the live broadcast of Nanjiang Province’s Evolutionary Science College Entrance Exam the other day, and I must say, the top scholar from Nanjiang Province is really incredible—both handsome and capable."

"During the finals, he thrashed a top student from Jingdou, seizing the title of Nanjiang Province’s top scholar in one fell swoop."

"Honestly, I never expected such a prodigious talent to come out of a small place like Luo City; even I, who was once a top student from Jingdou, feel humbled."

"Truth be told, I’m quite impressed with this year’s top scholar from Nanjiang Province. Not only is he handsome and capable, but he’s also got a good personality and is humble."

"Give him a year or two at Jing University, and I bet many of those so-called Jingdou top students will be thoroughly ground into the dust by him."

Jiu Li wasn’t stupid and quickly understood that her master was just pretending to be an ordinary passerby singing his own praises.

Right away, she chimed in cooperatively, "Yeah, I even took a day off to go see the tournament matches in person, and I was instantly mesmerized by that top scholar, Su Yan. He’s truly handsome and capable."

"Once he gets to Jing University, he’s bound to achieve great things. He might even become the new face of Jing University and lead it to glory."

"I bet by that time, he’ll have captured the hearts of all the female students."

After hearing this, Su Yan nodded in agreement and then said, "Indeed, this student named Su Yan has tremendous potential."

The two of them proceeded to boast with great intensity, leaving the people at the next table speechless. Are these guys doing this on purpose? they thought. We were just saying the top scholar from Nanjiang Province wasn’t all that. Now, these two immediately start gushing about how amazing he is. If this isn’t deliberate, then I’m a monkey’s uncle!

Just then, the bespectacled, scholarly-looking man suddenly said in confusion, "Hmm? Why does that guy look familiar, like I’ve seen him somewhere before?"

He furrowed his brows in thought for a moment, then couldn’t help but let the corners of his mouth twitch slightly as he said,

"Um... that guy at the next table who keeps hyping up the top scholar from Nanjiang Province—he looks just like the top scholar himself..."

The others immediately pulled out their phones to look up photos of Nanjiang Province’s top scholar online.

And sure enough, he looked identical to the man at the next table.

All that self-promotion, and it turns out they’ve been praising no one but themselves all this time... I can hardly keep a straight face; I’ve never seen such shamelessness!

In that moment, the whole table turned to look at Su Yan, their faces looking as if they were about to burst into laughter, struggling to keep it together.

Faced with this awkward situation, Su Yan laughed a little awkwardly and said, "You might not believe it, but I just happen to look somewhat like him..."

After leaving the cafeteria, Su Yan, with Jiu Li in tow, walked out of Jing University’s gates, planning to look around the commercial firms of Jingdou.

But first, they headed to the commercial street.

Since Jiu Li hadn’t brought any clothes to Jingdou, Su Yan couldn’t let her keep wearing his. Nor could he let her go without, relying solely on her Transform ability.

So, he had to bite the bullet and buy her a few new outfits.

Soon enough, guided by the directions from the ’shameless map,’ Su Yan led Jiu Li into a commercial street.

From then on, Jiu Li, being the one who needed clothes, took charge of the shopping.

Jiu Li, when it came to shopping, was no different from human race girls; she was very picky about clothes.

She dragged Su Yan through seven or eight stores on the commercial street, yet didn’t buy a single thing.

She seemed unsatisfied with everything.

Finally, Su Yan’s patience wore thin; he felt that accompanying a girl shopping for clothes was a complete waste of his time.

He quickly warned Jiu Li not to cause any trouble in Jingdou and then slipped away, following the ’shameless map’s’ directions to a commercial firm.

This establishment was the Qin Family’s Commercial Firm, founded by the Qin Family from Jingdou.

It had been operated for generations and boasted a history of nearly a thousand years, making it exceptionally venerable.

In all of Jiuzhou, it was undoubtedly the number one commercial firm, with chains throughout the country.

However, its main business operations were still centered in massive cities like Jingdou Devil City.

Upon entering the Qin Family’s Commercial Firm, Su Yan was immediately captivated by the dazzling array of goods displayed inside.

The first floor of the commercial firm showcased various rare and precious exhibits.

At a glance, one could see dragon horn, dragon tendon, phoenix claw, Kun beard, Qilin’s blood, Dawn grass, Dusk flower, and other invaluable treasures of heaven and earth.

These exhibits were not for sale, mainly displayed to showcase the firm’s strength. Find the newest release on novel✦fire.net

Indeed, comparisons can be harsh. Compared to this Qin Family’s Commercial Firm, the Liu Family’s Business Line in Luo City was thoroughly outclassed in every conceivable aspect.

There was no aspect in which it could compare.

An employee of the firm spotted Su Yan at the entrance and immediately approached him, her smile sweet and captivating.

Su Yan nodded politely and then briefly sized up the firm employee before him.

She was young, probably in her early twenties.

Her features were delicate. If I were to rate her out of ten, she’d be an eight, Su Yan thought.

As for her figure, she was voluptuous—truly eye-catching.

The gap! It’s a comprehensive gap! Su Yan mused. This employee from the Qin Family’s Commercial Firm, whether in terms of appearance or figure, completely outclasses the staff of the Liu Family’s Business Line. No wonder they’re the top commercial firm in Jiuzhou.
