Netherworld, Life-Taking Tower.
"You, you are such a rare guest."
The beautiful woman teased, her flowing white hair moving in the wind.
"This is all for the children," Mr. Zhao said with some embarrassment.
"Is it Zhou Chuan's child? I accepted him." The woman replied without thinking, "I had already sent someone to deliver the admission notice long before you came. This child and I have a destiny."
The three old men couldn't help showing their joy when they heard this: "Then I'll trouble you to take care of the child from now on."
"This child's talent in the way of ghosts is unique to me. When he comes to Youdu, I will be his mentor. Of course, I have to take good care of my own children. You don't need to worry about this."
The three elders were about to say something else, but a phone suddenly rang, interrupting them.
"Achuan?" Mr. Fu looked at the name flashing on the screen and quickly answered the call: "What's wrong, Achuan?"
"It's nothing serious, Grandpa Fu. I just finished registering for the exam and wanted to tell you about it." Zhou Chuan's voice came over.
"It's Youdu, right?" The white-haired woman took the phone from Mr. Fu and said with great certainty.
“…No.” Although he didn’t know who was on the other end of the phone, Zhou Chuan still answered truthfully.
"No?" The white-haired woman said in surprise, "Is there anyone who dares to snatch people from Youdu?"
"I'm sorry, senior." Someone else on the other end of the line responded, "We got the upper hand this time."
"Who are you?" the white-haired woman asked rudely.
"Zhu Xia, hate sadness."
The white-haired woman immediately hung up the call. She threw the phone back into Mr. Fu's hands and said gloomily, "I respect the three heroes, but you can't play tricks on me like this. Your child has already been selected into a school, yet you still come to me? Do you want me to be your 'next home'?"
"Isn't Youdu the city that Achuan decided to take?" the three elders said in confusion.
"Zhu Xia." The white-haired woman gritted her teeth.
“Zhu Xia? Hahahaha…” Under the cold gaze of the white-haired woman, Mr. Fu tried hard to suppress his smile, but his beard still couldn’t stop jumping: “This time, we didn’t inform the child in advance, so we made such a misunderstanding. Please forgive us.”
"Show you away." The white-haired woman's voice suddenly rose octaves.
"No need to send! The children have all been chosen by Zhuxia. I can even fly when I walk now!" said Old Fu with a heroic smile.
"Say less." Seeing that the white-haired woman's expression was getting worse, Elder Zhao quickly patted Elder Fu from behind, then smiled gently and said, "Sorry to bother Dean Li, the three of us will leave now!"
After saying that, the three old men each summoned their mount Lingka and rushed straight towards the north. Before they flew far, a laugh loud enough to shake the sky was heard.
"hateful!"
The white-haired woman overturned the small table in front of her, as if she wanted to vent her anger, but within a few breaths, she calmed down again.
"Youyou!" she called.
"Teacher, I'm here." A cold voice came over.
"Go to Baihu Lake in person and remember to pick up some quality materials from the Great Storehouse, especially the Green-Faced Ghost that was captured a few days ago. Also, take any notes or rare books as you wish. Don't let people think that Youdu is stingy."
"But... Zhou Chuan has already chosen Zhu Xia..."
"So what? I still admire him! Such a good talent, how could he be snatched away by Zhu Xia?!"
The white-haired woman patted her plump thighs and gnashed her teeth as she said, "It may take a hundred years for Jiuzhou to produce a genius in the way of ghosts. If they are led astray and ruined by those people from Zhuxia, I will chop down their old crooked neck trees! They dared to cut off my beard, and I will get back at them someday!"
“… Got it, teacher.”
"Well, go ahead." The white-haired woman waved towards the shadows and sighed after a long time.
At the same time, at the barbecue stall at the south gate of Chengfeng Middle School.
"Oops, that was a mistake!" Looking at the phone screen that had turned black, Zhu Yanbei couldn't help but scratch his cheek in pain.
"What's wrong, senior?" Zhou Chuan took the phone and asked puzzledly.
"I should have called out Lazy Dog's name! Now that vindictive woman will definitely blame me... even though it was my fault in the first place." Zhu Yanbei sighed and moved the iron plate closer to Zhou Chuan: "Eat more, junior brother."
"Okay." Zhou Chuan didn't say much. He was still quite close to this sad senior.
"By the way, do you have any plans for the next few days, Junior?"
"Arrangements? I'm going to go to Ice City the day after tomorrow to 'learn from each other' with a kid from Japan."
"Japanese? Are they here so soon?"
"No, only one person came this time, and he said he was here to serve as a vanguard."
"is that OK?"
"We fought twice yesterday and it seemed that the guy's physical skills were very poor. Later, I heard a senior mention his spiritual card and it seemed that he was not very impressive either."
"That's good. Don't hold back! You have the support of the dean and the senior brothers. After beating up the younger ones, we have to bully the older ones. Zhu Xia is not weak against anyone."
"Is that so... Actually, I am still a very kind person, junior."
"But I always feel that you are worse than anyone else... Ahem, eat your food."
Time flies and it is evening.
After helping Zhu Yanbei find a hotel, Zhou Chuan returned home.
"Son, a classmate is here to see you! Go and entertain him!" Zhang Yingli's voice came from the kitchen.
"Classmate?" Zhou Chuan looked towards the sofa and saw a girl sitting there who didn't look very pretty, but had drooping eyebrows and a melancholy temperament: "Who are you?"
"I'm a student at Youdu College. Dean Li sent me to give you something."
"Dean Li should already know that I chose Zhu Xia."
"Teacher is a person who values talent very much. Even if you don't choose Youdu, it won't prevent us from providing you with resources and help."
"Please also say thank you to her for me."
"… good."
After saying that, the girl quietly placed the things she brought on the coffee table, then slowly stood up, said to the kitchen, "Auntie, I'm leaving first", and left like a ghost.
"So generous?"
Looking at the books, resources and other items that were almost piled up into a small mountain, Zhou Chuan couldn't help but sigh softly. This favor was too great and it might not be easy to repay.
"This is… "
Zhou Chuan pulled out a material card with a purple border, and saw a green-faced and fanged evil ghost appearing on the card.
Honestly speaking, a card like this, in the hands of combat card masters, can be used as the main force in combat after long-term training.
And when it falls into the hands of a card maker like him, the variety of tricks is even more numerous.
"It's time to let that person out for some fresh air."
Zhou Chuan murmured as he looked at the sun gradually disappearing into the dark shadows outside the window.
