Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 221: Disappointment
A shocked glint flashed from Mu Wanying's eyes. He knew that this professor had some precious ores that he had obtained from the ancient tomb many years ago. They are considered as his precious collection.
Therefore, he was very curious. Tang Xiu was so young, why would he want to buy some of those precious ores?
“Alright, let's have dinner!”
Professor Hu himself did not care whether Le Baiyi would sell the ore or not. His goal was to clarify Tang Xiu's identity, and meet his old friend while comfortably.
After they sat down, Le Baiyi asked with a seemingly unintentional attitude, “By the way, your name is Tang Xiu, right? You also know that the value of Wintertide Fluorite and Star Fragment Stone is very high. Could it be that you told Me for what purpose you bought it? ”
“To forge some tools.” Tang Xiu said calmly.
For a moment, Le Baiyi stared blankly. Afterwards, he laughed involuntarily, “Hahaha, are you kidding?” Then, he immediately continued, “For Wintertide Fluorite I can believe it, because the structure is easy to melt and cut. But the Star Fragment Stone had a level of hardness comparable to that of a diamond! This joke is not funny at all. ”
Tang Xiu did not explain. Others might not be able to forge the tools from the Star Fragment Stone, but he could easily melt them down. Was an ordinary person even able to understand his refining technique to begin with?
Professor Hu's curiosity was triggered once again. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, “Tang Xiu, you said you want to forge tools. Can you tell me about the forging method? Also, what kind of object will you build from it? ”
Tang Xiu said lightly, “That's just a few small objects and isn't worth mentioning, honestly. However, for the forging method, you won't be able to understand it even if I say so. ”
“… …”
Professor Hu and Le Baiyi looked at each other and stopped before they quietly shook their heads.
So arrogant!
Tang Xiu was too arrogant in their minds. What he said made them angry. Even Mu Wanying also felt that Tang Xiu was arrogant and could not help but feel disgusted at him.
Looking at Mu Wanying, Professor Mu asked, “I heard that you just graduated from Beijing University and are preparing to take your Master's degree in Shanghai Uni.”
“I did. I'm majoring in Law, but I don't like it. I love traveling and archaeology so I'm getting ready to take my Master to Shanghai University and take up Archaeology. ”
Archaeology?
Tang Xiu's eyebrows shot up as a shocked expression flashed from his eyes.
He had just completed his CET and filled out his application form to register there. He also chose Archaeology. The reason being, he especially wanted to find valuable ores, as it would be of great help to his cultivation.
Professor Hu sighed, “Archeology is indeed a gateway to greater knowledge. It is important for us to explore the traces of culture and civilization of the five millennia left behind in China, delving into historical data that has not been recorded in intellectual literature. It has a great influence and will be of great help to future generations. This Old Le is Professor of Geology and also Vice President of the Association of Archaeologists, you can really learn a lot from him. ”
Mu Wanying gently nodded and replied, “Teacher is indeed very knowledgeable. He has taught Me many things and I have also benefited greatly even though I learned from him for only a few days. ”
“Tap, tap ..”
The door of the box was knocked when the waiter walked in and smiled, “Mistress and Gentlemen, our Lotus Flower House welcomes the VIP today. He has successfully passed the test in painting skills and exercised his right according to our old habits. He wanted to come to this box and toast here. ”
“Ah, The Lotus Flower House is very much alive in the last few days! In just 10 days, four to five people had managed to become VIPs through the painting test. Who is the one who passed by today? “Professor Hu spoke in wonder.
“Zhu Xiang!” The waiter said with a smile.
Professor Hu's eyebrows pierced and said, “Ah, it turned out to be an arrogant prick. A rampant young man and someone who thought he was no match in the world. I was too lazy to see it at first. But since it is the custom of your Lotus Flower House, then let him come! ”
Le Baiyi was surprised and asked, “Hu Old, you have a bad judgment about him? Who is this child and what is his background? ”
Professor Hu shook his head as he sighed, “Aii, he is indeed a genius in painting and calligraphy. But his family overindulged him, turning him into a young man without a hint of modesty; one would only be able to see his arrogance and rudeness. You heard about the Shanghai Golden Duck Exhibition two years ago, right? The boy reached his peak in a single bind in the art exhibition and many people have known him since then. ”
Le Baiyi suddenly said, “Oh, it turns out it was him! He is a proud little man. But I don't know much about calligraphy and painting. So it didn't catch my attention. ”
“I've also heard of him. She is famous and has destroyed much of the chastity of girls, “ Mu Wanying said.
“How do you know that?” Professor Hu was stunned.
“Basic bastard!” Le Baiyi's face changed as he fiercely cursed.
Tang Xiu was not interested in this matter. He secretly ate, thinking whether he should return to Star City immediately after dinner or spend the night in Tianjin City and return in the morning.
He still has to do something as fast as possible – set the wine!
Although he had taught the recipe and the process to Scarblade Qiang, but he could not tell whether Scarblade Qiang would be able to produce delicious fermented wines after the rebuilding of the winery.
And at this moment, as the need for resources increased, he would also need more money. If he had not thought of a way to accelerate the speed of making money, he would definitely not be able to support his cultivation and Gu Yin.
In addition, he also had to travel to Jingmen Island in the near future to see Yan's condition. The longer he delayed, the more severe his injuries were. He had already asked everyone he knew to help him find the Chrono Crystal as well as the Demon Recovery Grass. Although there was only a minute chance of finding them on Earth, he did not want to give up even if the chances were very low.
“Excuse me. I am Bai Yu, General Manager of this Lotus Blossom House. ”
The box door knocked as a middle-aged woman wearing a blazer approached the box along with a young man who looked arrogant and haughty.
Professor Hu stood up. He disliked this young man, but he had no choice but to give Bai Yu face. After all, the Bai Family had the status of being alone in Tianjin City. Although Bai Yu called herself the manager of Lotus Blossom House, but the regulars here knew that she was actually the owner of this place.
“Congratulations, Manager Bai. Your restaurant has added VIP again.”
Bai Yu smiled, “Thank you, Professor Hu. I haven't seen you for some time at our Lotus Blossom House. Could it be that our service here is too bad that it does not meet your elderly satisfaction? ”
Professor Hu waved his hand and said, “No, I've only been very busy lately so I rarely have a chance to come.”
Bai Yu nodded, “Professor Hu and all. I'll introduce you to the esteemed VIP of our Lotus Flower House, Zhu Xian. Zhu Xian, this is Professor Hu, he once served as a Professor in the History Department at Tianjin University. ”
Zhu Xian went to the box. His eyes swept across everyone before his gaze finally landed on Mu Wanying. All of his attention was focused entirely on the woman, even his expression was frozen. He did not hear anything spoken by Bai Yu and Professor Hu.
As the son of an influential family in Tianjin City and also having studied at Shanghai University for four years, he had already seen many beautiful women, he had already seen many beautiful women, but he could barely find any of them compared to Mu Wanying.
“Zhu Xiang ..” Bai Yu furrowed her brows and called again.
This time, Zhu Xian was finally able to regain her composure. He looked at Bai Yu and immediately walked towards Mu Wanying. Trying to look as friendly and graceful as she could, she pushed a handshake and smiled, “Halo, I'm Zhu Xiang. Could it be that I asked this young lady's surname? ”
At this moment, Professor Hu's face blackened as an awkward expression was written all over Bai Yu's face as she angrily glared at Zhu Xiang.
Mu Wanying did not wake up or even look at her. He sat quietly in his chair and quietly enjoyed his dishes. Tang Xiu did not wake up either. He had no interest at all towards this Zhu Xiang or the Lotus Flower House. The purpose of his visit here was to purchase the Fluorite Wintertide and Star Fragment Stone from Le Baiyi, although it was a pity that it was a wasted trip. Therefore, he had decided that he would find a hotel for the night after eating and return to Star City tomorrow.
Zhu Xian frowned. Looking at Mu Wanying who ignored her, even though inside was angry, she still pretended not to care because she still held her friendly smile, “Nona, based on my painting skills, I got a VIP membership in this Lotus Blossom House. . May I ask if Miss knows about the painting? I also brought My work, do you want to appreciate it? ”
Mu Wanying finally looked slowly. He coldly looked at her as he shook his head and said, “No. Unless it's the work of a famous expert, I won't see it. Furthermore, I offer you a suggestion, we — Chinese have a traditional nature, which is to respect the elderly and take care of the young. The dining room manager just introduced you to Professor Hu, but you blatantly ignored him. I'd really like to know if you're educated or not. Otherwise, I know a place that might make you educated and cultured. ”
Opposite him, Tang Xiu looked up and thought that Mu Wanying's line was quite interesting. A smile line showed itself at the corner of his mouth when he asked, “Where is it?”
“Teen Correctional Center.” Mu Wanying glanced at Tang Xiu and lightly said.
Tang Xiu looked at her with a strange expression. Inside, she was confused as to whether to cry or laugh. The words he spoke were truly venomous. The correctional institute was actually enough to express it, but he still added “teen”. This meant that in his eyes, Zhu Xian was not an adult!
“You..”.
Anger finally filled Zhu Xiang's face. But he suppressed the flames of anger in an instant. He could not get the subtle meaning behind Mu Wanying's line. But facing Mu Wanying who was truly too beautiful, she simply put hatred inside and decided to teach him well after she managed to relate to him.
Zhu Xiang quietly sighed. He turned around and looked at Professor Hu, saying, “Ah, I did not expect to see Professor Hu here. Are you all right? My Grandfather previously said that you are in poor health, so you should take better care of yourself. ”
Professor Hu's face became darker. The meaning behind Zhu Xiang's words was as if he was deliberately making his health deteriorate. He snorted coldly as he sat quietly in his chair.
Le Baiyi looked at the expression of his old friend and quietly sighed inside. He turned towards Bai Yu and said, “Manager Bai, right? I'll have to trouble you to help us send visitors! ”
