“That’s right. Chu Yunfan, why don’t you go on stage and give it a try?” Du Yue’er echoed.

“Nah.” Chu Yunfan shook his head. He was not being pretentious. With his current cultivation level, would he not be bullying others if he went on stage?

It would be meaningless.

“Don’t make things difficult for him,” Yang Lili stepped forward and said. She remembered that Chu Yunfan had not been very outstanding in class back then. Although her memory of that time was a little fuzzy. It had been many years after all.

However, there was one thing that was obvious. If Chu Yunfan’s talent had been outstanding at that time, she surely would have been remembered. Forcing Chu Yunfan to go up on stage would be akin to bullying.

“It’s a pity. This is a good opportunity. Who knows how many CEOs, elders, and other celebrities are watching? If you perform well, you might even have a chance to be noticed by them,” Ma Wu said with a look of pity.

Chu Yunfan secretly laughed. There were countless CEOs, elders, and others who wanted to curry favor with him. He did not think very highly of them. But to ordinary people, these CEOs, elders, and the like were huge figures.

“But it’s normal. Not everyone can be as outstanding as you, Senior Jia. You’ve already entered the Acquired Stage, right? I heard that one of the graduation criteria of Federation University is only to be in the Acquired Stage!” Du Yue’er said in a fawning manner.

Jia Taihua simply nodded his head in a reserved manner. There was a hint of pride on his face. Although the graduation standard of the Acquired Stage could only be considered ordinary for Federation University, for the people from other universities, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

To be able to reach the Acquired Stage before graduation was simply unimaginable. And for those who were able to do so, after graduation, their future prospects might be on par with those from Federation University.

It was very normal for Jia Taihua to have such pride.

“I will graduate next year, and I’ve already started my own company. In the future, if you’re looking for a job, you can look for me. With our friendship, it’s just a matter of words,” Jia Taihua said arrogantly. As he spoke, he looked at Yang Lili. As expected, when Yang Lili heard this, her eyes immediately lit up.

It was very common for students of the top ten famous universities to start a company when they were still students. For students of ordinary schools like them, this was very impressive.

“Thank you, Senior Jia. The two of us will ride on your coattails in advance, right, Lili?” Du Yue’er said with a smile.

Suddenly, a young man who looked like a student walked out from the crowd.

When he saw this person, the originally arrogant Jia Taihu instantly slapped a respectful expression onto his face. He quickly stepped forward and bowed slightly, saying, “Greetings, Senior Nie.”

Senior Nie barely looked at Jia Taihu and only nodded slightly. However, he caught a glimpse of a figure in the corner of his eye and instantly stopped in his tracks. His spirit was shaken.

In the corner of Senior Nie’s eyes, a young man wearing a black robe was just quietly standing there with a faint smile on his face. He felt that the person looked very familiar. Then, he felt as if a bolt of lightning that could tear apart the night sky flashed through his mind. He suddenly remembered who this person was, and his entire body trembled.

F*ck! How was this god of death here?!

Almost immediately, Senior Nie remembered who this young man with a faint smile was. Was this not the god of death of this new generation, Chu Yunfan, who was currently in the limelight?

As Chu Yunfan had only risen to prominence recently, naturally not everyone recognized him. Even among the students of the top ten universities, many had only heard of his name and did not know much about him. It was even more unlikely that they knew what he looked like.

This was the reason why Jia Taihua had felt that Chu Yunfan’s name was a little familiar previously.

Almost immediately, Senior Nie turned around and walked in Chu Yunfan’s direction.

Jia Taihua had not expected Senior Nie to turn around and walk over toward them. After all, Senior Nie was an influential figure.

Jia Taihua had entered the Acquired Stage before graduating, so he was quite famous at Qinghua University. However, compared to Senior Nie, he was far inferior. He could only greet Senior Nie from afar and did not dare to approach him.

Now that Senior Nie was striding over, Jia Taihua could not help but feel a little nervous, not to mention Yang Lili and the others. Although they did not know this guy, they thought that someone who could make Jia Taihua so nervous must be a big shot.

Du Yue’er even winked at Yang Lili. See? Such a big shot thinks so highly of Senior Jia. This guy has a bright future.

However, no one expected that Senior Nie would walk past Jia Taihua and stop in front of Chu Yunfan who had been trailing behind them.

“Are you Chu Yunfan?” Senior Nie asked with some uncertainty. It would not be strange if he only saw Chu Yunfan. However, how did Chu Yunfan get together with these students who were obviously ordinary people?

Just like how Jia Taihua did not take Chu Yunfan seriously before, Senior Nie also did not take Jia Taihua, who was boasting in front of others, seriously.

“Why? Do we know each other?” Chu Yunfan said as he raised his eyebrows.

Chu Yunfan was not surprised that someone had recognized him. This symposium was full of experts, and there were many people who knew about him. After all, he had caused such a big commotion recently.

“No, no. We don’t know each other.” Senior Nie’s face revealed a crestfallen expression. “I just heard Junior Ziying mention you before. I didn’t expect to see you here.”

“Nice to meet you.” Chu Yunfan said this, but he did not look impressed by Senior Nie. He knew that this Junior Ziying was Situ Ziying. It seemed that Senior Nie had some relationship with Situ Ziying.

Senior Nie was a little embarrassed, but the awkward smile quickly disappeared. Since Chu Yunfan did not want to reveal his identity and did not want to say anything more, he did not want to bang his head on a cold wall.

Senior Nie did not say anything more and left.

After Senior Nie left, Jia Taihua and the others looked at Chu Yunfan in disbelief as if they had seen a ghost.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Chu Yunfan said calmly.

“Do you know Senior Nie?” Jia Taihua asked quickly.

“No,” Chu Yunfan said firmly, “Why? Is he very powerful?”

“Of course! He’s one of the top 100 experts at Qinghua University!” Jia Taihua said quickly. Although he was proud, he knew the gap between himself and Senior Nie.

“Top 100?” Chu Yunfan was stunned. Although he knew some of the experts at Qinghua University, it was only limited to a few in Qinghua University like Situ Ziying. He had no interest in remembering the top 100.
