Elder Zhou continued, "Besides, your father also took one of my 'Huangji Pills'. The son pays the father's debt, you don't have any objections, do you?"
"Er..."
Hearing this, Du Shaofu instantly frowned. His dark eyes looked towards Elder Zhou and said, "Even blood brothers should settle their debts clearly. My father is still here, so his debts should naturally be paid by him. I'm afraid that even if I helped him, I wouldn't be able to pay it back."
Hearing this, Elder Zhou's gaze towards Du Shaofu could not help but twitch, and then he said, "Indeed, like father, like son."
An indescribable smile appeared on Du Shaofu's face, but he did not say anything.
"Can you put on some clothes first before you speak?" Suddenly, Elder Zhou said to Du Shaofu.
"F * ck."
Hearing this, Du Shaofu discovered that the purple robe he had been wearing had long been burnt to ashes in the medicinal cauldron. He had actually been 'chatting' with this old man all this time. His entire person instantly felt unwell.
"Chi!"
Within Du Shaofu's palm, a small pagoda and a palm-sized bronze mountain peak rock appeared. From within the small pagoda, a Qiankun bag was thrown out.
From the Qiankun bag, he fished out a blue robe and put it on. The few clothes in the Qiankun bag were mainly purple, and this blue robe was a rare sight.
"This small pagoda seems extraordinary. Brat, you destroyed one of my medicinal cauldrons, so how about you compensate me with this small pagoda?"
At this moment, Elder Zhou's gaze was tightly fixed on the small pagoda in Du Shaofu's hand, a look of curiosity in his eyes.
"Elder, that won't do. In the future, I'll just compensate you with a medicinal cauldron."
Du Shaofu instantly kept the medicinal cauldron and mountain peak rock in his hands, afraid that the old man before him would have designs on the small pagoda and small yao.
Du Shaofu knew that although his physical body had improved a lot this time, it was still far from enough to be compared with the terrifying old man in front of him.
"Then forget about it. You destroyed my medicinal field, destroyed one of my Huangji Pills and medicinal cauldrons, and even received benefits from me. You owe me a lot. How about this, including the interest, you'll have to pay me a total of ten Huangji Pills in the future," Elder Zhou calculated and said.
"Ten?" Du Shaofu's expression turned ugly when he heard that.
"What? You think it's too much? If you think it's too much, then just return my Green Bamboo Spirit Fruit." Elder Zhou said bluntly.
"That's not it." Du Shaofu had no choice but to agree.
"You have to pay it back within five years. If you're late by a year, you'll double the amount." Elder Zhou said.
"Old man, you win." Du Shaofu glared fiercely at Elder Zhou.
"You can leave now. I'll send you out of here safely, but be careful. Although I won't settle accounts with you for the time being, the academy will still settle accounts with you. I've never asked about the academy's matters. If you're caught by the academy, I'm afraid you'll be miserable." Elder Zhou looked at Du Shaofu and said.
Du Shaofu glared at Elder Zhou again and did not say anything.
Du Shaofu felt that he had nothing in common with this old man.
Sometimes, a common language needed to be built on a similar level of strength. If there was a huge disparity in strength, there would definitely be no common language.
… … …
"Elder Zhou, what's going on?"
Elder Sun, Murong Xi, Elder He Hu, Elder Shangguan, and the other elders came early in the morning. Looking at the broken medicinal cauldron and the mess around them, they looked at each other in confusion.
"Du Shaofu, that brat, ran away. I originally planned to refine that brat like the Green Bamboo Spirit Fruit. Who knew that brat would destroy my medicinal cauldron and escape when I wasn't paying attention." Elder Zhou said to everyone.
"What?"
Hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly trembled. To be able to escape from Elder Zhou's hands, that Du Shaofu was really not simple.
"Elder Zhou, do you know which direction that brat ran to?" Elder Sun suddenly asked.
All the elders were also waiting for Elder Zhou's answer. They deliberately came early in the morning to try their luck and see if they could find Du Shaofu, that ferocious brat, at Elder Zhou's side.
If they could let that ferocious brat deal with Pan Yu, it would be fine even if they could forgive some of that brat's sins. Originally, they were treating a dead horse as a living horse. They didn't expect that they would really come early in the morning and really get news of that brat Du Shaofu from Elder Zhou.
Elder Zhou turned his head, looked at Elder Sun and the others, and said, "Are you deliberately angering me? If I knew where that brat ran to, would I still be here?"
Hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly became embarrassed.
"Elder Zhou, then we'll go and capture that brat."
After Elder Sun finished speaking to Elder Zhou, he immediately motioned for everyone to leave.
After a moment, clear light poured down, and the sky became brighter and brighter.
"Everyone, now we can only go and find that brat. If we find him, we'll have a good talk with him. As long as he can defeat that Pan Yu, we'll give him some credit for the crimes he committed in the academy." On the bluestone corridor, Elder Sun said to the many elders around him.
"There's not much time left. With that brat's ability, who knows where he's hiding. Even if it's us, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to find him in a short period of time." A long-robed elder sighed.
Elder Sun looked at the brighter sky and said, "Everyone, let's search first. Regardless of whether we find him or not, we'll meet in the Peace Plaza in two hours. If we can't find that brat at that time, we can only accept our fate."
"Huff …"
In the morning, Du Shaofu deeply breathed in the fresh frosty air of the mountain range. He felt invigorated, and his entire body was filled with energy.
"Bastard, he almost burned me to death."
In Du Shaofu's arms, the little demon's voice sounded. It had also been burned in the medicinal cauldron for eleven days, and had suffered for eleven days for nothing. One could imagine how it felt.
"You secretly ate the Green Bamboo Spirit Fruit, but that person didn't make things difficult for you. That's strange." Zhen Qingchun's voice sounded as he spoke to Du Shaofu.
"I owe him a favor." Du Shaofu nodded. No matter what the reason was, the other party didn't make things difficult for him, but he really did owe him a favor.
"It won't be too late to repay the favor you owe him when you have the strength in the future."
After Zhen Qingchun finished speaking to Du Shaofu, he immediately said, "Be careful, there's someone up ahead."
Du Shaofu's gaze immediately turned to the front. At this moment, under the slightly brightening sky, there was a faintly discernible figure of an elder sitting on a hillside. That figure seemed to give off a sense of deja vu.
"It seems like an acquaintance."
Du Shaofu's gaze moved slightly, and he slowly walked over. When he released his Mental Energy to probe, he didn't sense any aura fluctuations from the other party's body.
When Du Shaofu was able to clearly see the other party, his eyes widened. He didn't expect it to be an acquaintance.
The other party was an elder in his sixties or seventies. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a big nose, and a wide mouth. His hair was messy like dried grass, and his face was rather pale. Only his eyes were bright, but they gave off a lifeless feeling. It was the elder that he had met at the back of the mountain, and he had spent his entire life in Tianwu Academy.
The elder was also looking at Du Shaofu. He hadn't shaved for a long time, and his face was like a barren land filled with grass. Coupled with the wrinkles on his face, if one suddenly looked at him, they would really think that he was a savage.
When the elder saw that it was Du Shaofu, a smile appeared on his face as he said, "Brat, it's you again. Are you slacking off again?"
"Hehe, I'm running for my life."
Du Shaofu smiled. He didn't know why, but when he saw the elder, he felt a special sense of familiarity. After which, he looked at the elder with a puzzled gaze and asked, "Why are you here so early? This place should be quite far from the chore house. How did you get here?"
"Actually, it's not that far. I have some status in the academy, so I have a demonic beast as a mount."
The elder smiled and turned to look at Du Shaofu. He smiled and said, "Why are you still here? Aren't you going to watch the show today?"
"What show?" Du Shaofu asked.
"Don't tell me you don't know." The elder looked at Du Shaofu and said, "Today, Gu Yu from the Divine Radiance Court challenged a student from Tianwu Academy. It's quite a show."
"Divine Radiance Court."
Du Shaofu's gaze flickered. He then shook his head and said, "I'm not interested. I don't usually watch shows."
Hearing this, the elder's gaze flickered and he smiled at Du Shaofu. "That's true. As a nominal student, there's nothing much for you to watch. Anyway, you won't be able to help much. However, I'm afraid that the students from Tianwu Academy won't be able to contend against him. It's said that Gu Yu is too powerful. Yesterday, his flood dragon mount severely injured a senior student by the name of Du Xiaoman.
"Uncle, what did you say?"
Du Shaofu's expression changed drastically as he stared at the old man. His eyes, which were filled with indifference a moment ago, were now filled with a chilling intent. He hurriedly asked the old man, "Uncle, are you saying that Du Xiaoman is seriously injured?"
"That's right. I didn't hear it wrong. She was injured by the flood dragon mount of that young man by the name of Gu Yu. However, I heard that with the care of the academy's medicinal talisman masters, that young lady is fine. However, that young man by the name of Gu Yu isn't willing to give up. He said that he wants to challenge a student from Tianwu Academy today."
After the old man finished speaking, he slightly straightened his back and stretched. After which, he looked towards Du Shaofu and said, "Kid, why are you in such a hurry? Could it be that you want to deal with that youth called Gu Yu?"
"That's right, that's my intention."
Du Shaofu could no longer remain calm. Someone actually dared to injure his sister, and to such a severe extent. How could he let that person off? No matter who that lad was, he had to take revenge first.
"It's said that the young man by the name of Gu Yu isn't easy to deal with. If you want to go, you have to be careful."
The elder's beard moved slightly. He then looked at Du Shaofu and smiled. "Lad, actually, I already know who you are. Recently, your name has been spreading throughout the academy. There are even portraits of you everywhere. You're Du Shaofu, right?"
