Chapter 58 Green Brother Reappears
"Haha, Boss Su Ming, you flatter me. I was ignorant back then." Green Brother chuckled twice. He was now a member of the main campus of the Ancient Capital Academy, a mid-level lightning mage, and quite popular. He liked to wander around the new campus and show off when he had nothing to do.
Then, I unexpectedly learned that a guy named Su Ming had defeated three hundred freshmen. I immediately felt that the name Su Ming was very familiar. Now, after meeting Su Ming in person, I realized that this was the same person from two years ago.
"My sister-in-law isn't here today." Green Brother looked around but didn't see Jiang Shaoxu.
"She's not in the ancient capital." Su Ming shook his head, unwilling to talk about Jiang Shaoxu any further, lest he couldn't help but look for her. He could look for her, but the problem was that she had blocked him, and he couldn't find out where Jiang Shaoxu was.
"Hey, big brother, I'm free right now, how about we go out for something to eat?" Green Brother rubbed his hands together and asked.
"Okay." Su Ming had been planning to go out for a bite to eat anyway, so he agreed when Green Brother suggested it.
Green Brother has been in the ancient capital for three or four years and is much more familiar with it than Su Ming, especially the school area. Green Brother could walk around it three times with his eyes closed.
Crayfish are available all year round, regardless of the season. When you go out to chat and joke, you definitely have to have crayfish. Why? Because eating them takes time and you don't get full.
Green Brother was a regular here. As soon as he sat down, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Boss, ten catties of spicy, ten catties of garlic, and bring me some other side dishes as you see fit."
After saying that, Green Brother looked at Su Ming somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Boss Su Ming, please don't take offense, I just have a big appetite."
He didn't mind having a big appetite, but he felt strange and uncomfortable being called "boss" by Su Ming.
"Just call me Su Ming from now on, don't call me 'boss'."
"Okay." Green Brother hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly agreed.
"But Su Ming, you are indeed impressive. You took down three hundred people as soon as you entered school. Of all the people I've seen in public, you are the most powerful. I knew that when Wu Ku was defeated by you." Green Brother changed his words smoothly without any hesitation.
He also ordered two bottles of wine, but Su Ming didn't drink them because they tasted unpleasant, so he had to drink them by himself.
The lobsters were served quickly; they were all prepared in advance, and you just need to reheat them when you need them.
Su Ming put on gloves and started eating. He had to admit that Green Brother's taste was spot on. No wonder he was a student who had spent three years in the ancient capital. This lobster was better than any he had ever eaten before.
It's definitely not the frozen lobster; Su Ming could tell that by the taste.
After a few bottles of wine, Brother Green's face became rosy, and he started talking a lot.
They started talking about Wu Quan's experience after Su Ming and his group went on their study tour. He was also taken away for investigation because he was at the scene, but he was released quickly. After Wu Quan fell, Brother Green hired a few people to follow him, but he didn't like any of them. After a while, Brother Green looked back and there was no one behind him.
Zi Ge couldn't get into the main campus because his grades weren't good enough. After struggling for a semester at the new campus, he finally couldn't stand it anymore and dropped out. Now he's a hunter mage who hunts undead outside the ancient capital from time to time.
Although it wasn't as comfortable as school, life was better than at school, and hunters earned more money.
Although Green Brother was in the main campus, he didn't receive much attention because of his poor grades. His lightning element stagnated after the first stage of the intermediate level. Later, he awakened a water element, but he couldn't break through and was still poor and lacking resources.
"Heh, I don't know what I was thinking back then, following Wu Quan. Looking back now, I realize he never gave us any benefits, and we were always the ones paying for meals." Brother Green chuckled, not angry about what had happened in the past.
"What happened to Wu Quan afterward?" Su Ming asked. He didn't know what had happened to Wu Quan. Could it be Jiang Shaoxu?
"I thought you knew." Green Brother paused for a moment, then replied, "I don't know the specifics, but it seems that his cultivation was crippled and he was arrested because he had committed many crimes in the past."
"That's what they deserved."
"He deserved it, but you don't know, I was arrested back then, wasn't I?" Green Brother started talking non-stop when he got excited, forgetting even the important matter at hand. "Back then, I met a monk."
"Monks? What's so strange about that? Monks and Taoist priests are just people," Su Ming said.
"It's different. That monk gave me a terrifying feeling. He seemed like someone who served an evil Buddha. I think he was Wu Quan's uncle, named Wu Ku. I saw him from afar. He appeared virtuous and upright, saving people on the outer city wall of the ancient capital, but I just felt that this person deserved to die."
"Judging by actions, not intentions, if he did a good deed, then he's a good person," Su Ming replied without looking up, the table already piled high with crayfish shells.
"I know that too, but I always feel that Wu Ku is different from the others. Even I want to kill him. I don't know why I don't feel the same way about the others." Green Brother was quiet for a while and then suddenly changed the subject.
"Su Ming, there's a good job out there, do you want to take it?"
"He's finally here!" Su Ming had been waiting for a long time. He had only met this Brother Green once before, but his current enthusiasm made it hard not to suspect that he needed Brother Green's help with some difficult task.
However, given his enthusiasm, it wouldn't hurt to help him with some trivial matters that don't harm his own interests.
Tell me about it.
Seeing that Su Ming did not refuse, Green Brother felt there was hope and quickly said, "I recently discovered something in the academy. I personally estimate that it is related to a powerful creature. I estimate that as long as I find that creature, I can improve my cultivation."
"You guessed it yourself?" Su Ming asked doubtfully.
"Hehe, you could say that." Green Brother scratched his head. He had discovered this thing a long time ago and had been trying to find someone to take a look at it, but not many people were willing to believe him, thinking that it was all nonsense.
"It was a red feather that I found in the academy's archives. I used it to look up information and actually found a creature that was related to it."
Green Brother looked around warily, then suddenly lowered his voice and whispered, "Totem Beast, the book says it's called Totem Bifang."
Seeing Su Ming's confusion, Green Brother explained again: "Totem beasts are the mythical beasts of our country. I didn't know that before, but after coming into contact with that feather, I became interested in these kinds of creatures, so I looked it up and found that there are quite a few. The totem Bifang is one of them. I heard that when Bifang spreads its wings, it can cover the sky. It is incredibly powerful and is the divine beast of the Director of Flames."
"Did you see these things in a book or did you just imagine them?" Su Ming was a little suspicious, after all, it was the first time he had heard of totem beasts, and his instinct was that they were just a way to fool people.
"It's about half and half. The book doesn't describe much of it; some of it is what I made up."
"Oh." Su Ming asked again, "Then how do you know that finding this totem beast will improve your magic cultivation?"
Green Brother's eyes lit up. Su Ming was interested. This meant there was hope. "I'm sure of this. Totem beasts all have totem power. Every totem beast has it. This totem power is the purest energy. It can be used for any element. It's perfect for breaking through."
After saying that, Green Brother added, "These aren't things I came up with myself; basically, all sorts of books about totem beasts are written about them."
