Mu Wanying, who stood behind Le Baiyi, had a strange glint flashing in her eyes. She knew that her teacher had several precious ores. She heard that he got them from an ancient tomb many years ago and had been kept as a treasure by her teacher.
She was very curious!
She was curious about why Tan Xiu would buy those precious ores at such a young age.
"Serve the dishes!"
Professor Hu didn't care whether Le Baiyi was willing to sell those ores or not. His purpose was very simple. He wanted to figure out Tan Xiu's identity and conveniently get together with his old friend.
After taking a seat in the dining room.
Le Baiyi asked in a seemingly casual manner, "You're Tan Xiu, right? The value of Wintertide Fluorite and Star Fragment Stone is extremely high. Can you tell me what you want to use them for? "
"Forging tools," Tan Xiu replied calmly.
Le Baiyi stared blankly for a moment before he couldn't help laughing and said, "Are you kidding me? Wintertide Fluorite is a good compatible ore, easy to cut and smelt, but the Star Fragment Stone is as hard as a diamond. Using it to forge tools is not funny at all. "
Tan Xiu didn't explain.
The Star Fragment Stone might not be able to forge tools in other people's hands, but he could easily melt it in his hands. How could the method of refining weapons he knew be comprehensible by ordinary people?
Professor Hu's curiosity was aroused again. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Tan Xiu, you said you want to forge tools. Can you tell me the forging method? Also, what do you want to forge? "
"Some small objects are not worth mentioning," Tan Xiu said indifferently. "Even if I tell you the forging method, you won't understand it."
"..."
Professor Hu and Le Baiyi exchanged glances and secretly shook their heads.
Arrogant!
They felt that Tang Xiu was really too arrogant, and his remarks made them feel very dissatisfied inwardly. Even Mu Wanying felt that Tan Xiu was a bit arrogant and couldn't help but despise him.
Professor Hu looked at Mu Wanying and asked, "I heard that you graduated from Imperial Capital University and are going to Shanghai University to study as a postgraduate?"
Mu Wanying nodded and said, "I studied law before, but I don't like it. I like traveling and also like archaeology, so I'm going to Shanghai University with my teacher to study archaeology. "
Archaeology?
Tan Xiu raised his eyebrows as a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
He had just finished his college entrance examination, and he had filled in his application for archeology. The main reason he applied for this exam was to find precious materials that could aid his cultivation.
Professor Hu sighed, "Archaeology is a great field of study. Exploring the 5,000 years of civilization left in China and unearthing the knowledge of civilization that has not been recorded in the historical records will have a great impact and benefit to our future generations. Lao Le is a geology professor and the vice president of the Archaeology Association. You can learn a lot from him. "
Mu Wanying gently nodded and said, "Teacher is very knowledgeable. In just the past few days, he has taught me many things and benefited me a lot."
"Bang bang …"
The box's door was knocked as the waiter came in and said with a smile, "Ladies and Gentlemen, our Lotus Blossom House has welcomed another distinguished guest who has successfully passed the painting test. According to the old rules, he will come to the private room to propose a toast. "
Professor Hu was surprised, "The Lotus Blossom House is very lively these days! In just ten days, four or five people had successfully become VIPs here with their painting skills. Who is this person today? "
"Zhu Xiang!"
The waiter said with a smile.
Professor Hu's brows pricked as he said, "It turns out to be that arrogant and insufferably arrogant brat. I was originally too lazy to see him, but since it's your Lotus Blossom House's rule, then let him come! "
Le Baiyi was surprised, "Old Hu, your evaluation isn't very good, no? What's that brat's origin? "
Professor Hu shook his head and sighed, "He's a genius in calligraphy and painting. But he's been spoiled by his family. He doesn't know how to be modest at such a young age and is arrogant and rude to everyone. You should have heard of the Shanghai Golden Mandarin Duck Art Exhibition two years ago, right? That brat amazed the world with a single brilliant feat in that art exhibition and became known to countless people. "
Le Baiyi suddenly said, "So it's him! He's indeed a proud little guy. However, I don't know much about calligraphy and painting, so I didn't pay much attention to him. "
Mu Wanying said, "I've heard of him. His character is not good and has ruined many girls' innocence."
Professor Hu was surprised, "What do you mean?"
Mu Wanying said, "At first, I was also very fond of his calligraphy and paintings. I even collected one of them. But I inadvertently heard from a friend that he has a bad reputation. He once ruined a girl's innocence in Shanghai and then abandoned her. She was pregnant with his child and jumped from a building dozens of floors high, resulting in a corpse and two lives. His family has some connections, so they later suppressed this matter. However, in order to find out whether this matter is true or not, I asked a friend in Shanghai to help me, and the result of the investigation was true. "
"Bastard!"
Le Baiyi's complexion changed as he angrily cursed.
Tan Xiu wasn't interested in these matters. He silently ate his meal and considered whether he should immediately rush back to Star City or stay in Tianjin City for the night and go back tomorrow morning.
There was one thing he must do as soon as possible, and that was the establishment of the winery!
Although he had taught Scarblade Qiang the brewing recipe and process, but after the winery was rebuilt, it was hard to say whether it could produce the delicious wine that he was looking forward to.
Now!
The more resources he needed, the more funds he would need. If he didn't find a way to make money faster, he would absolutely be unable to support his and Gu Yin's cultivation.
In addition, he also had to go to Jingmen Island in the next few days to see Gu Yan 'er's condition. The longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for her injury. He had asked people from various parties to help him find the Chrono Crystal and the Devil Revival Grass. Although the possibility of these two things existing on Earth was very slim, he was still unwilling to give up this chance.
"Excuse me for disturbing you. I'm Bai Yu, the General Manager of Lotus Blossom House."
There was a knock on the door of the private room, and a middle-aged woman in business attire walked in with an arrogant young man.
Professor Hu stood up. Although he didn't like the young man, he had to give Bai Yu face. After all, the Bai Family also had a transcendent status in Tianjin City. Although Bai Yu was the Manager of Lotus Blossom House, the regular customers knew that she was actually the owner of Lotus Blossom House.
"Congratulations, Manager Bai. Your honorable restaurant has added another distinguished guest."
Bai Yu said with a smile, "Thank you, Professor Hu. You haven't come to our Lotus Blossom House for a while. Is it because our service here isn't good enough that you are dissatisfied?"
Professor Hu waved his hand and said, "I've been very busy recently, so I rarely come here."
Bai Yu nodded with a smile and said, "Professor Hu, and everyone, let me introduce you. This is our Lotus Blossom House's distinguished guest, Zhu Xiang. Zhu Xiang, this is Professor Hu, a former professor of history at Tianjin University. "
Zhu Xiang entered the box. His eyes swept over the others and then fell on Mu Wanying. Even his whole mind was attracted by Mu Wanying. His expression was sluggish. Even though Bai Yu and Professor Hu were talking, he didn't hear anything clearly.
As a young master of Tianjin City who studied at Shanghai University for four years, he had seen countless beauties, but none of them could be compared to Mu Wanying.
"Zhu Xiang …"
Bai Yu frowned and called out again.
This time, Zhu Xiang finally came back to his senses. He looked at Bai Yu and immediately walked a few steps toward Mu Wanying. Trying to show a refined and courteous appearance, he stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Hello, I'm Zhu Xiang. May I ask your surname, Miss? "
In an instant!
Professor Hu's face turned black. Even Bai Yu looked embarrassed as she angrily glared at Zhu Xiang.
Mu Wanying didn't get up. She didn't even look at Zhu Xiang. She just sat there and quietly tasted the dishes. Tan Xiu also didn't get up. He wasn't interested in Zhu Xiang, nor was he interested in this Lotus Blossom House. His purpose of coming here was to buy the Wintertide Fluorite and the Star Fragment Stone from Le Baiyi. Unfortunately, he failed. Therefore, he had made up his mind. After eating and drinking to his heart's content, he would find a hotel to stay for the night and directly return to Star City tomorrow.
Zhu Xiang slightly frowned as he looked at Mu Wanying ignoring him. Even though his heart was full of anger, he still pretended to be indifferent and modestly said with a smile, "Miss, I used a painting to get a VIP seat in the Lotus Blossom House. I wonder if Miss knows anything about painting and calligraphy? I've brought my work here. Do you want to appreciate it? "
Mu Wanying finally slowly raised her head as she coldly looked at Zhu Xiang. She shook her head and said, "I won't appreciate it unless it's the work of a famous master. Also, I'll give you a piece of advice. Respecting the old and loving the young is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. The manager of this restaurant just introduced Professor Hu, yet you ignored him. I really want to know if you have any upbringing or not. If you don't, I know a place that may make you more educated. "
Sitting across from her, Tan Xiu raised his head. He felt that Mu Wanying's words were quite interesting. A trace of a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he asked, "Where?"
Mu Wanying glanced at Tan Xiu and lightly said, "The juvenile detention center."
Tan Xiu looked at Mu Wanying with a strange expression. He was at a loss whether he had to cry or laugh inside. Her insulting words were really vicious. It was fine if it was a labor camp, but she had to add the word "young". Didn't this mean that in her eyes, Zhu Xiang was still underage?
"You …"
Zhu Xiang's face was filled with anger, but he suppressed it in an instant. How could he not understand the meaning behind Mu Wanying's words? However, Mu Wanying was really too beautiful. Facing such a beauty, he could only suppress the hatred inside his heart and decided to deal with her after getting her.
Zhu Xiang secretly took a deep breath. He turned to look at Professor Hu and said, "I didn't expect to see you here, Professor Hu. Are you alright? My grandpa said that you're in poor health last time, so you must take care of yourself. "
Professor Hu's face turned darker. Zhu Xiang's words seemed to be deliberately talking about his health. After coldly snorting, he sat back in his seat without saying anything.
Le Baiyi looked at his old friend's expression and secretly sighed inside. He then turned to Bai Yu and said, "Manager Bai, right? Please help us send our guest off! "
