Chapter 23 Do you know Xiao Yuan? Choose her.
Teacher Huang carefully touched the red fruit, "This... is real."

That's the feel! Cool and refreshing.

"Why does it look like it's growing even better than before? And how come it's produced so many fruits?"

Teacher Huang had seen Lin Xiaoran's tree before, and it definitely didn't have so many red fruits, nor was it this tall.

Looking at the tree in front of her, Teacher Huang was filled with confusion. "Student Shen, how...how did you do that?"

After confirming that the tree in front of him was real, Teacher Huang immediately turned to look at Shen Baisu.

Lin Xiaoran's four trees were broken beyond repair. It's true that cuttings can be propagated using the branches, but it would take several years for them to grow to this size.

Lin Xiaoran was also very excited. When she heard the teacher's question, her eyes were full of expectation, curiosity and fervor as she stared at Shen Baisu. She also wanted to know how Shen Baisu had done it.

It's only been less than a month, how did it grow like this?

Meeting the inquisitive gazes of the two, Shen Baisu pondered for a moment, then his expression suddenly became mysterious. "Do you know what cultivators are? I am actually a cultivator, and I used my immortal techniques to bring this tree to life."

"..."

After Shen Baisu spoke, Lin Xiaoran and Teacher Huang both fell silent.

After a moment of silence, Teacher Huang laughed awkwardly, "Haha, Shen is quite humorous."

He thought to himself: This student Shen is indeed quite different from the rumors; he's a bit... hard to judge.

As a well-known figure at Yao Nong University, Professor Huang had heard of Shen Baisu.

However, having lived for decades, she naturally wouldn't think she understood Shen Baisu based on hearsay.

She had thought that Shen Baisu was different from the rumors, but she didn't expect Shen Baisu to be so...unique.

Beside her, Lin Xiaoran tentatively asked, somewhat unwillingly, "Junior, can't you really tell us the method?"

Shen Baisu was somewhat perplexed after hearing this.

It's important to know that not everything she said was false.

These trees, besides being watered with the spiritual spring water, were indeed stimulated to grow by her spiritual power. She certainly wouldn't give the spiritual spring water to two people she had just met, but...

"Cultivate immortality? Maybe after you cultivate immortality, you can also make fruit trees grow."

Before she has the ability to protect herself, there are some things she won't reveal. However, she doesn't mind recruiting people to join her; everyone can start by becoming fellow Daoists.

"..." Lin Xiaoran was silent for a few seconds, then she gave up, "Since it's inconvenient for you to say, then I won't make things difficult for you."

Lin Xiaoran assumed that Shen Baisu had purchased some fertility-inducing potion at a high price but couldn't explain it to them in detail, so she didn't ask any further questions.

Anyway, we should be able to find out by having the fruit trees and fruit tested later.

I don't know if the growth-inducing chemicals have affected the fruit trees. I hope these four fruit trees are no different from the original ones.

As she thought about it, Lin Xiaoran began to worry again, and the joy she felt upon seeing the fruit trees was overshadowed.

Ms. Huang noticed four red jujube trees planted nearby. "Um, Shen, what are these four trees?"

Shen Baisu: "These four trees were originally meant for my senior, but the fruit was picked, so I got four new ones instead."

After listening, Teacher Huang nodded.

She finally understood; the base for growing the red jujube was not here.

After pondering for a moment, Teacher Huang said earnestly to Shen Baisu, "The Red Beauty Fruit is a new variety cultivated by Xiao Ran, you should know that."

"I hope they will be officially published through Xiaoran's paper."

"Therefore, please do not give the fruit and fruit trees to other people, especially... those engaged in research."

Shen Baisu thought for a moment and understood. She nodded and replied, "No problem."

Teacher Huang was relieved. "Thank you so much." "I am truly grateful. If it weren't for you, Xiaoran's paper would have been delayed for at least another two or three years before it could be published."

However, many changes may occur in two or three years.

Those four trees only started to flower and bear fruit this year, and Lin Xiaoran's thesis topic was also changed at her request.

only……

An accident occurred.

I thought that four trees would be enough to protect them, but to my surprise, they were all destroyed.

Back when Lin Xiaoran changed the topic, she had dragged Lin Xiaoran to plant a large number of cuttings. Now, those trees are only a few months old and have just begun to sprout leaves.

it's good now……

"Now we have fruit trees and fruit, and Xiaoran can continue publishing her papers." Teacher Huang looked at Xiaoran, her joy barely concealed.

"The final assessment at Imperial University should be completed on schedule, but I don't know if it still counts. I'll contact them later to check."

"Now let's see what that old geezer Dou Wenhong can do... In short, we're determined not to choose him as our mentor."

"Dou Wenhong? What happened to him?"

Teacher Huang was happily holding Lin Xiaoran's hand and chattering away when Uncle Lin, hearing the commotion, walked over. As soon as he got close, he heard a familiar name and asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Teacher Huang subconsciously turned her head to look.

Upon seeing Uncle Lin, Teacher Huang looked at Shen Baisu and asked, "Student Shen, who is this?"

I was so excited just now that I think I said something I shouldn't have. Could this person be an acquaintance of Dou Wenhong?

Teacher Huang felt uneasy.

Shen Baisu: "This is my family's gardening manager, Uncle Lin. This is Professor Huang from the College of Botany at Yao Nong University. This is my senior, Lin Xiaoran. The new variety was cultivated by my senior."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Lin's eyes lit up instantly, and he reached out to shake hands with Teacher Huang and Lin Xiaoran.

"Good, good, good! You're a promising young woman. I never imagined that this new variety was developed by a young girl." Uncle Lin was very enthusiastic towards Lin Xiaoran, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at her.

"By the way, I just heard you mention Dou Wenhong? What happened to him?"

After thinking for a moment, Teacher Huang said, "Xiao Ran needs to choose a supervisor for her postgraduate studies. We originally wanted to choose Professor Dou, but due to some reasons, we may not be able to choose him."

Because he was unclear about the relationship between Uncle Lin and Dou Wenhong, Teacher Huang did not speak ill of Dou Wenhong, but instead gave a half-truthful explanation.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Lin immediately said, "Definitely don't choose him! That guy is not someone to be trifled with."

"Isn't this student a graduate student?"

"With such achievements now, he is bound to have a bright future. We must not let that old man Dou Wenhong hold him back."

Hearing Uncle Lin address Dou Wenhong, Teacher Huang felt relieved. It seemed that the old gentleman and Dou Wenhong did not have a good relationship, and might even have had some grudges. In that case, they were on the same side.

Unaware of Teacher Huang's thoughts, Uncle Lin continued, "Child, if you're choosing a teacher, I'll recommend one to you. Do you know Xiao Yuan? Choose her!"

Teacher Huang and Lin Xiaoran: ?!

Upon hearing Uncle Lin's words, Teacher Huang and Lin Xiaoran immediately lost their composure.

Xiao Yuan? How dare they choose Professor Xiao Yuan?
Xiao Yuan is a legendary figure in the College of Botany at Yao Nong University.

This person has worked at Yao Nong University for over thirty years and has produced countless research results. However, she has an eccentric temperament. Although she teaches graduate students, she almost never supervises them.

Teacher Huang and Lin Xiaoran would never dare to choose Xiao Yuan as their mentor.
