Zhang Chu looked at this old lady at the door, the Master had actually instructed to finish her business first.
So Zhang Chu spoke, “This lady, please come in.”
The old lady slowly walked in and sat down opposite Zhang Chu, and then the old lady faintly said, “Mr Zhang is still really busy, I’ve been coming here for several days in a row, and I can’t imagine that I can only see you today.”
Zhang Chu on the other hand, carefully observed this old lady, and immediately afterwards, Zhang Chu was shocked as he found that this old lady was as if she was a piece of stubborn stone or a piece of wood in his own senses, devoid of any breath of life.
“Eh?”Zhang Chu frowned.
The old lady then faintly said, “Don’t try to see through me, I don’t even know what’s going on with me.”
After this statement was finished, Zhang Chu stood up on the spot, “You are the old director of the …… orphanage!”
At that mysterious orphanage, the old dean was only a shadow, and at that time, Zhang Chu was unable to sense the old dean’s true form.
Zhang Chu remembered that the old dean at that time, also told Zhang Chu that she did not know who she was.
Now, this old lady in front of Zhang Chu, even said the same thing, Zhang Chu instantly felt that this old lady, most likely, was the incarnation of the old dean of the orphanage.
However, this old lady gently shook her head, “I am not any elder, I am just an old slave.”
“Old slave?”Zhang Chu observed carefully and still could not see anything clearly.
She clearly had five senses, and she clearly did not wear a mask, or wear anything to hide her face.
However, the more Zhang Chu’s gaze fell on her face, the less he could remember her appearance.
In the end, Zhang Chu shook his head forcefully and did not look at her.
Zhang Chu knew that this old lady was, inevitably, some super powerful figure that had separated a shadow, and it was impossible for him or her to discern any information from this shadow.
Since she did not admit that she was the old director of the orphanage, Zhang Chu simply treated her as someone else.
So Zhang Chu asked, “This madam, do you know my master?”
“Should know.”
“Should?”Zhang Chu frowned, “Knowing means knowing, not knowing means not knowing, should know, what does that mean?”
This old lady said, “As soon as I see that woman, I can call out her name, but whether I’ve ever seen her before, or whether there was ever any past between me and her, I don’t know.”
Alright, another confused person.
So Zhang Chu asked, “Then, this madam, is there something you are looking for me for?”
“I want you to help me find someone.”The old lady said.
Without waiting for Zhang Chu to open his mouth, the old lady directly took out a clay figure.
The clay figure was only the size of a fist, as if a child had made it out of clay, and its figure was very awkward, however, the clay figure’s five senses were very clear.
After Zhang Chu received the clay figure, he observed it a little and did not feel anything special.
The old lady, on the other hand, said to herself, “The missing person, is my granddaughter, named Mu Yao.”
“She was a college teacher, of course, not your school in Jinling, but a school in Wangdu.”
Zhang Chu was instantly interested, “Since it’s a school in Wangdu, how did it find its way to Jinling?”
The old lady did not answer Zhang Chu’s question, but said in a slow pace as if she was reciting a book:
“She is a teacher who teaches archaeology and needs to study various ancient tombs all day long, so, instead of being in Wangdu often, she often wanders outside.”
“Normally, Mu Yao would call me once every half a month, to report that she is safe.”
“But this time, I suddenly felt that something wasn’t right, and when I tried to contact her, I couldn’t get through.”
“Thus, old slave I used the Immortal Crane Seeking Technique to find my way to Jinling.”
Zhang Chu nodded his head slightly, Immortal Crane Seeking was a kind of searching technique that was often used by Feng Shui masters.
As long as the missing person’s clothes, fingernails, and the like were used as a guide, through the use of some Taoist talismans as well as incantations, a smoky crane could be formed.
Then follow the crane’s guidance, you can find the missing person.
At this moment, the old lady said, “After I searched for the missing person according to the immortal crane, I failed to find Mu Yao, but found such a clay sculpture instead.”
“I ran out of options before I inquired about a young Feng Shui master in Jinling who was very powerful, so I came to find you.”
After the old lady finished speaking, Zhang Chu pondered for a while before asking, “Ma’am, mind if I ask a few questions?”
“Feel free to ask.”
“Since you said that the missing person was your granddaughter, then why did you call yourself an old slave?”
The old lady was silent for a while, but eventually she shook her head, “I don’t know, in fact, I don’t know my true identity as an old slave, I call myself an old slave, but I just find it smooth.”
“But who I really am, and how my relationship with Mu Yao is, I’m not even sure.”
Zhang Chu was surprised, “Then why did you say that Mu Yao is your granddaughter again?”
“Because she keeps calling me grandma.”The old lady said.
Zhang Chu still felt outrageous, “Then when did you and Mu Yao meet?”
“I raised her from a young age.”
“How did she get here?”Zhang Chu asked again.
This time, the old lady was silent for a while, but eventually shook her head, “I don’t know where Mu Yao and I came from, anyway, I’ve been carrying a little girl by my side since I can remember.”
“As for how she and I came to be, what we had experienced before, I’m not even sure.”
“I have raised her for more than twenty years, she has called me grandmother for more than twenty years, and I have always called myself an old slave.”
Zhang Chu felt more and more strange, “So, you have been living in this state?”
The old lady nodded, “Right.”
“What kind of girl is Mu Yao? Like you, is she a member of the Xuan Sect?”Zhang Chu asked.
The old lady, on the other hand, shook her head, “I don’t count myself as a Xuan Sect member, I was just in a hurry and suddenly remembered some spells.”
“As for Mu Yao, Mr Zhang Chu should not think too much about it, she is just an ordinary person who obtained a doctorate degree in archaeology at the age of seventeen and entered a national level special department, just an ordinary person.”
The corner of Zhang Chu’s mouth twitched, to obtain a doctorate degree at the age of seventeen and enter a national level special department, this was an ordinary person?
At this time, Zhang Chu said, “I’m probably clear about the matter, so what’s the deal with this clay man?”
At this time, the old lady said, “After I came to Jinling in accordance with the Immortal Crane Seeker, I found this clay figure in the place where the crane landed.”
“Eh?”Zhang Chu’s heart stirred, “That means that this clay figure replaced Mu Yao.”
“Right.”
“Where was the clay figure found from?”Zhang Chu asked.
The old lady said, “It was found at the back of the Jinling University of Finance and Economics.”
“Oops, that’s our school!”Ye Lei exclaimed in a small voice.
Zhang Chu was instantly moved in his heart, so it was no wonder that Master had told him to settle the old lady’s matter first.
It was highly likely that Ye Lei’s school matter, and the old lady’s matter, were one and the same.
Thus, Zhang Chu said, “I see.”
At this moment, Zhang Chu held that clay figure sculpture in his hand and silently deduced in his heart, wanting to try and deduce Mu Yao’s information.
Soon, Zhang Chu frowned, “Hmm? The aura is obscure and hard to understand, why is it the same as when deducing Gu Nai Nai?”
Last night, when Zhang Chu deduced Gu Nai Nai’s situation with his stand-in wooden man, it was the same, and it felt as if there was a mysterious boundary between himself and Gu Nai Nai.
Now, deducing Mu Yao’s aura, he unexpectedly encountered the same situation.
“Could it be that just like Ancient Nai Nai, it had also fallen into some other strange place?”Zhang Chu thought in his heart.
At this moment, Zhang Chu’s heart stirred, “Star Tower.”
