Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

Chapter 125 The Mysterious Old Man

Ningbo, Beihai District, Shanghe Town.

A boy got off the bus and felt the intense sunlight; a wisp of cold air slowly emanated from his body.

Once his body cooled down, he slowly walked towards Shanghe Town.

Upon arriving in Shanghe Town, I was immediately stunned by the scene before me.

Unlike the deserted town a year ago, Shanghe Town is now bustling with people, with an astonishingly large flow of people.

Several wooden houses have been transformed into shops full of Jiangnan style, with customers lining up almost outside the door.

The river, which was originally used by women to wash clothes, is now clear, and several small boats are drifting on it.

The boatman maneuvers the small boat, taking tourists to see the scenery of Shanghe Town.

"It's been a year since I last came here, and the changes are just too great..."

Mo Xie looked around at the scene and murmured softly.

Although he usually pays attention to things in Shanghe Street and knows from the internet that Shanghe Town has been transformed, he was still shocked by what he saw when he came here in person.

If Shanghe Town is in this state, what must Shanghe Street be like...?

He pulled his hat down a little and walked towards Shanghe Street.

"Well, so you're here to count heads..."

As Mo Xie walked into Shanghe Street, he was immediately struck by the countless heads that stretched as far as the eye could see, which made his lips twitch.

The stone-paved road has been widened considerably; otherwise, the old road would not have been able to accommodate so many people walking around.

The houses that were originally uninhabited were now occupied, and each family added a shop to sell drinks and desserts.

Not only that, there are also elderly people selling their own traditional snacks, which they offer to children for free.

Hearing the children repeatedly saying "Thank you, Grandpa" and "Thank you, Grandma," the elderly people beamed with joy.

Looking at the bustling Shanghe Street, Mo Xie couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Unexpectedly, the revitalization plan launched a year ago has really made Shanghe Street more lively now, and it seems to be even larger in scale than before.

The problem is, how am I supposed to get there...?

Mo Xie sighed helplessly. Now, all she could do was slowly drift along with the crowd.

After walking for a while, we finally arrived at the hotel.

Upon entering the lobby, there was no one there. The person sitting at the front desk was not Ding Yumin, but an unfamiliar young girl.

I walked up to the counter and gently tapped on it.

Hearing the noise, the girl raised her innocent head. Upon seeing that a guest had arrived, she immediately gave a polite smile and said...

"Hello, did you make a reservation in advance? If not, there are no rooms available now."

No rooms available? Business is really booming...

Mo Xie pursed her lips and asked.

"I'm not here to stay; I'm here to find your boss. Where is your boss now?"

Upon hearing these words, the girl immediately became wary.

From the moment she joined the company, many people used the excuse of needing housing to covet the boss's good looks.

However, those people only dared to peek secretly, keeping their little thoughts to themselves.

But the person in front of me didn't even try to hide it, and directly said he wanted to see the boss.

Although this person has a perfect body proportion and looks quite good, his face is completely covered up, so he might be an ugly monster!
The thought that the person in front of her might be a stalker or something made the girl take a step back and stare at Mo Xie in fear.

She picked up her phone, which was lying to the side, and immediately called the police if Mo Xie did anything out of line.

Mo Xie's lips twitched. Seeing the girl's strange expression, it was clear that she had misunderstood something.

"Uh, well..."

"Little Evil!"

Just as I was about to explain, a silvery voice suddenly rang out.

Turning his head, he saw a beautiful figure rush over, hugging his waist and pressing her head tightly against his chest.

"Xiao Xie, I miss you so much!" Hearing those almost coquettish words, Mo Xie smiled indulgently, gently hugged the other's soft, boneless body, and stroked her smooth, long hair.

"Yu Mian, I miss you too."

Ding Yumin felt a surge of sweetness upon hearing Mo Xie's reply, and looked at him with her beautiful eyes brimming with spring water.

When did you arrive?

"I'm new here, and your receptionist seems to think I'm some kind of scoundrel."

"Who told you to wrap yourself up like that? It's no wonder people are suspicious."

"What? You're making me really sad..."

The girl behind the counter stared in disbelief at what was happening before her, her bright eyes blinking adorably.

What's going on? This ugly guy... no, he actually knows the boss, and most importantly, the two are behaving so intimately. Could they be boyfriend and girlfriend?
But why is my boyfriend being so secretive?

Ding Yumin broke free from Mo Xie's embrace, then wrapped her arms around his and smiled as she spoke to the girl behind the counter.

"Xiaoyu, he's my friend, not a bad person. I'll take him upstairs first, you watch the shop."

"Oh...oh, okay..."

"Let's go."

Ding Yumin smiled slightly, took Mo Xie's arm, and went upstairs.

The young girl behind the counter, named Xiaoyu, stood there alone.

In the hallway, Mo Xie looked at Ding Yumin and said.

"I didn't expect Shanghe Street to have changed so much in just one year."

"Yes, all of this is thanks to you. Without you, there would be no Shanghe Street as it is today."

Ding Yumin's eyes shone brightly when she looked at Mo Xie, as if they could only hold him.

"By the way, where is that old gentleman you mentioned on the phone?"

Even while catching up, Mo Xie didn't forget the main reason she came here.

During the phone call, he learned that an elderly gentleman had visited the hotel a few days earlier and said he wanted to take Ding Yumin away from Shanghe Street to live at Mingzhu Academy.

Unable to make up her mind, Ding Yumin called him for help.

“I told him I would get back to him when you arrive. After that, the old gentleman stayed at the hotel. I’ll take you there now.”

The two walked together to the old man's room. Ding Yumin knocked on the door and said...

"Sir, I've brought my friend."

"Well, come in."

As I opened the door, a rich aroma of tea wafted into my nostrils, bringing a sense of tranquility.

An elegant old gentleman with white hair and glasses sat on the sofa, quietly savoring the tea in his hand.

Upon seeing the newcomer, he gently raised his eyelids, his gaze lingering on Ding Yumin for a moment before turning to Mo Xie.

What a handsome young man...

The first thought that came to mind upon seeing Moye was this.

The old gentleman raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

I can't even sense that child's cultivation level... How interesting!
He smiled enigmatically, poured two cups of tea, and gestured for them to enter.

"sit down."

"Thank you, sir. May I ask who you are...?"

Mo Xie sat on the sofa opposite and asked.

The old gentleman stroked his beard and answered with a smile.

"My surname is Xiao, and my given name is Xiao Qiushui. I am the dean of Mingzhu Academy. You can call me Dean Xiao."
