Zhang Chu looked at the aging Mei Dun and suddenly felt a chill run through his body.
He was unable to comprehend what had changed in Mei Dun’s body, and why he had suddenly become old.
Zhang Chu was even suddenly thinking that if he was not Shang Xuan Yue’s disciple, perhaps the last time he had chased after the orphanage, he had also turned into Mei Dun’s appearance.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chu could not help but choke for a while, this orphanage was far more dangerous than he had imagined.
At this moment, that shadow of the old dean also became extremely mysterious in Zhang Chu’s heart.
“This old lady, there is a great terror!”Zhang Chu thought in his heart.
At this moment, Zhang Chu once again looked at Mei Dun.
Although Mei Dun was old and bitter, he was in good spirits, but he was just sitting under the laurel tree sighing and lamenting about the old age of Shaohua.
Next to him, several very short little fairies were playing games around Mei Dun, and they all called him “old man”.
At this time, Zhang Chu came over and asked Mei Dun, “What’s wrong with you?”
With a bitter face, Mei Dun pointed to the laurel tree beside him, “Master Zhang, I can’t leave this place ……”
“Hmm?”It was at this moment that Zhang Chu noticed this laurel tree in the orphanage.
The laurel tree was thick, an old tree, the bark of the tree was cracked in some places, but it looked dragon coiled and gnarled, strong and powerful.
Feeling it carefully, this laurel tree unexpectedly emitted a certain mysterious aura, and its aura enveloped the entire small courtyard.
At this moment, Zhang Chu was surprised to discover that, in reality, the entire orphanage was completely under the shroud of this laurel tree.
“So, is this the real father of this place?……” Zhang Chu looked at this laurel tree, his heart jumping in fear, and felt that it would be better to stay away from it.
“You can only stay here?”Zhang Chu asked Mei Dun once again.
Mei Dun cried out, “Yes, I can feel that if I dare to step out of this courtyard door, my body will age rapidly, and I might not be able to take three or five steps before I am weathered.”
“Then let’s see, you don’t have a few years to live in your current state.”Zhang Chu asked.
Mei Dun looked too old, his eyebrows and beard hair all white ……
Oh yes, originally Mei Dun is no beard, do not know what happened, even born out of the long white beard.
It looks like the legendary Taibai Jinxing.
Meidun, on the other hand, said in a resigned general manner, “I can feel that I can live for a long time, as long as I don’t leave this small courtyard, I can live for a long time, but I can’t leave here anymore.”
“Unless, my cultivation can reach the Realm of Transformation.”
“But ……” said Mei Dun, almost crying, “I’m damn sick of cultivation, it’s over, I can’t even open my dantian, how am I going to enter the Realm of Transformation……”
Well, Zhang Chu also did not expect that Mei Dun would have such a connection with the Laurel Tree.
So Zhang Chu said, “Then you should rest well here, maybe this place is a blessing for you.”
“Blessing ……,” Mei Dun wanted to say that he hadn’t even married a daughter-in-law yet in his life, and his bodily functions had turned into that of an old man, which was completely unbearable.
But in the end, Mei Dun didn’t say anything, things were already like this, it was useless to think of anything else.
At this time, Zhang Chu looked towards Shang Xuan Yue, “Master, there are some things that I would like to say to you.”
Shang Xuanyue smiled faintly, “I have already said that I am not your master, I am Teacher Yue Yue.”
Zhang Chu understood in his heart that Shang Xuan Yue might still be concerned about something.
He recalled that it was only after he left the small courtyard last time that his master had hinted at himself.
Thus, Zhang Chu said, “Teacher Yue Yue, then I’m leaving, won’t you see me off?”
“Did you leave the money behind?”Shang Xuan Yue asked.
Zhang Chu’s face instantly darkened, and in his heart, he said, “Even though I’ve come to send you money, it’s too obvious that you’re turning your elbow outwards, isn’t it?”
Of course, Zhang Chu remained honest and handed the card to Shang Xuan Yue, “It’s all here.”
Inside was the one billion in compensation from the Pang Family, as well as the money from auctioning off the three magical artefacts, the amount had already reached Shang Xuan Yue’s requirements.
Shang Xuan Yue was satisfied, and after accepting Zhang Chu’s money, she then spoke, “Alright, I’ll see you off.”
Soon after, Zhang Chu left that small courtyard with the hot pot.
Shang Xuan Yue also followed.
At this time, Shang Xuan Yue’s eyes became much gentler as she sized up Zhang Chu, “It seems that you’ve been mixing very well lately, taking out so much money when you say so.”
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, whispered, “Master! This old dean is not a good person! I asked her a bunch of questions and she didn’t answer anything, her spine seems to be soft.”
Shang Xuan Yue then smiled faintly, “Whether she is a good person or not has nothing to do with us.”
“Hm?”Zhang Chu’s expression moved slightly, somewhat unable to understand what Shang Xuan Yue meant, what did he mean by nothing to do with it?
At this time, Shang Xuan Yue smiled faintly, “You don’t think that I am working for her, do you?”
Zhang Chu instantly stared wide-eyed, his eyes glowing with excitement, “Master, you can’t be saying that this orphanage, sooner or later, one day, is yours, right?”
“Master, why don’t we revolt!”Zhang Chu happily picked a fight.
Shang Xuan Yue smiled, “In short, this orphanage is very special, the old dean is only the nominal dean, she can’t clamp down on me, but it’s that laurel tree that’s a bit strange.”
“All in all, this place is very special, I will have to observe it for a while, of course, this place is in great need of money right now, if you have money, support it more.”
When Zhang Chu heard these words, his heart choked for a moment, why did he still need money?
At this moment, Zhang Chu’s heart was flooded with bad speculations, could it be that Master had already become Gui Shu’s puppet?
So Zhang Chu asked, “Master, it’s not possible that he’s being controlled by the Laurel Tree, is it?”
“If it is, just blink your eyes and I’ll blow up this orphanage and rescue you.”
“What are you thinking?”Shang Xuan Yue laughed, “This place does need money, and if I want to take full control of this place, I also need money.”
“But it’s just a strange tree, a few little ghosts, and a shadow, what does it need money for?”Zhang Chu was puzzled.
At this moment, Shang Xuan Yue said, “There is some mysterious change happening here, a change that concerns everyone here, whether it’s me, the old dean, the leather monkeys, Little Nezha and the rest of them, or everything around this place, it’s all changing.”
“And to bring about this change, a lot of materials are needed, not to mention, buying all kinds of clay alone cost 120 million last month, money, not enough.”
Zhang Chu stared wide-eyed, “Wait, so much was spent on buying dirt, no wonder the internal space is so much bigger, so it’s all my money?”
Shang Xuan Yue smiled faintly, “Don’t worry, there will be benefits for you in the future. Buying the soil is only a part of it, in the future, this place will need even more things, as for what this place will become, that will depend on the creation.”
Zhang Chu did not complain much, Master had even given herself the Star Tower, if she wanted money, let alone a billion, even if it was a thousand million, as long as Zhang Chu could earn it, he would definitely give it all to Master.
Only, Zhang Chu was afraid that Shang Xuan Yue would be trapped by the inexplicable laws here, just like Mei Dun.
Thus, Zhang Chu worriedly asked, “Master, are you really alright?”
“It’s fine, this place that can actually trap me hasn’t appeared yet, I just don’t want to leave here for the time being.”
“But the people from the Eight Great Xuan Clans seem to be targeting me.”Zhang Chu complained.
With Shang Xuanyue’s temperament, she definitely could not see Zhang Chu being bullied.
Sure enough, after Zhang Chu said this, Shang Xuanyue’s expression instantly turned cold, “The Eight Great Xuan Sect!”
Zhang Chu hurriedly nodded his head, “That’s right, there’s a Rune Island fellow who seems to be quite powerful, a handful of talismans striking out, very intimidating.”
“There’s also a woman from the Witchcraft Sect who is also clamouring to seize the Star Tower.”
“Apart from them, there was also an unknown mysterious sect that actually took out a treasure to fish for, almost catching me.”
Zhang Chu didn’t hide anything at all and directly told Shang Xuan Yue all the things he saw.
When one was bullied in society, was it not shameful to look for one’s own adult to complain?
Although, Zhang Chu hadn’t suffered any losses yet, but with so many opponents, Zhang Chu didn’t want to face them alone.
After hearing this, Shang Xuan Yue grunted, “It seems that there is a need to knock them down a bit.”
