Hearing his anxious inquiry, Hu Xiaobei narrowed his eyes, looked at him, and coldly said, "Get lost, and don't let see you again! Otherwise, next ti, I won't be so nice!"
"Yes! Yes! Yes! I will never appear before you again!"
After hastily agreeing, he quickly turned around and ran off.
In fact, even if Hu Xiaobei hadn't said anything, he wouldn't dare to appear before Hu Xiaobei again, for he was genuinely terrified of Hu Xiaobei now…
"He runs really fast!"
Watching him flee in disarray, Haruno Nanako murmured with a smile…
The next second, she looked at Hu Xiaobei, and at that mont, she found Hu Xiaobei even more handso!
"Mom, do you think Brother Xiaobei…"
After blinking her watery eyes, Haruno Nanako started to speak while looking at her mother!
At that instant, she suddenly stopped because she saw her mother, Haruno Rei, also staring blankly at Brother Xiaobei…
Giggling lightly, she teasingly said, "Oh my, Mom, what are you looking at! Your eyes are about to pop out!"
Hearing Haruno Nanako's teasing, Haruno Rei quickly ca to her senses...
After flipping her dark hair, she said, "I… I wasn't, I was just looking around!"
Hearing Haruno Rei's explanation, Haruno Nanako giggled and said aningfully, "Oh, I see!"
Knowing Haruno Nanako clearly didn't believe her, Haruno Rei's cheeks flushed even more…
Hu Xiaobei didn't know about their whisperings, as he was looking at Ling Shangshu. Seeing Ling Shangshu's excited face, Hu Xiaobei shook his head and said, "All right, stop dreaming, I already said before that I'm not going to take you as a disciple. Also, I'm not interested in having you as a servant or anything like that, so you can leave now."
Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, Ling Shangshu hesitated for a mont and softly said, "Master Xiaobei, if I ever have any problems in the future, may I co to you for advice?"
"If I'm available, no problem!"
Hu Xiaobei thought for a mont and then agreed.
Hu Xiaobei knew he truly loved botany, so he could offer him so guidance occasionally.
Of course, that was if he showed so sense.
If he didn't show any sense, Hu Xiaobei wouldn't be interested…
Hearing Hu Xiaobei's response, he was extrely excited…
Soon, he directly said, "Okay, Master Xiaobei, I… I have so questions I want to ask you now!"
"Go ahead, just ask."
"Alright!"
After nodding quickly, Ling Shangshu was about to throw out his questions.
However, he suddenly stopped.
The next second, under everyone's gaze, he turned his head towards Haruno Nanako who was not far away.
Then, he softly said, "Um, I… I want to ask if there is a notebook here? If there is, could you possibly lend one, and it would be best if you could also lend a pen!"
Saying this, Ling Shangshu felt it was sowhat improper just to ask openly, so he quickly added, "If… if it's too much trouble, I can also buy it."
At that mont, Ling Shangshu tried to show his most amiable side...
Because he had realized that these two people were very important to Hu Xiaobei…
He knew that if he offended them now, it would be equivalent to offending Hu Xiaobei…
Hearing Ling Shangshu's inquiry, Haruno Nanako smiled!
Shortly after, Haruno Nanako said softly, "There's no need for money, I have both a notebook and a pen, I'll just go and get them for you."
While speaking, Haruno Nanako bounced off to the second floor!
"Thank you, thank you, thank you."
While Haruno Nanako was running away, Ling Shangshu repeatedly thanked her…
Five minutes later, Haruno Nanako ca back holding a brand-new notebook and a pen.
Ling Shangshu looked at Haruno Nanako, sincerely thanked her again.
After giving his thanks, he took them directly.
Having taken them, he looked at Hu Xiaobei and respectfully said in a low voice, "Master Xiaobei, I'm ready now, are you ready?"
Sensing his anxiety, Hu Xiaobei gently nodded his head and soon, Hu Xiaobei spoke indifferently, "I'm always ready, whenever you're ready, just ask!"
"Okay!"
After agreeing, Ling Shangshu took a deep breath!
Soon, Ling Shangshu seriously asked the questions that had been accumulating in his mind for many years.
As he asked them, Ling Shangshu felt that these questions would also be difficult for Hu Xiaobei.
However, he quickly realized he was just overthinking...
Because no matter what he asked, Hu Xiaobei didn't need to think and could easily provide an answer!
"Gosh! I really regret being older! If I were younger, I would shalessly cling to Master Xiaobei's side!"
After Hu Xiaobei answered his questions one by one, Ling Shangshu felt extre frustration!
He knew he was indeed too old now.
Otherwise, he could really cling tightly to Hu Xiaobei's 'coattails'.
Because spending a day learning from Hu Xiaobei was truly more beneficial than a lifeti of groping blindly on his own...
"Mom, in front of brother Xiaobei, he really acts like a well-behaved little student! If his fans saw this scene, they would probably be frightened to death..."
"Yes, I think so too!"
As the two of them were whispering, a crowd had gathered outside...
...
"Old bro, were you deceiving us before? How could Ling Shangshu, a top-tier botanical expert, appear in such an ordinary place!"
"Exactly! You must be lying!"
"I also think it's unreliable!"
Outside the hotel, five or six people were muttering quietly...
They were all journalists from a newspaper.
Earlier, they had been assigned to interview Ling Shangshu, who had just returned from Huaxia, at the airport.
However, because Ling Shangshu went through the VIP channel, they had missed him.
After failing, they were disheartened and prepared to return.
At that mont, one of the journalists suddenly received so news.
It was reported that Ling Shangshu hadn't returned to his residence after leaving the airport but had co to a hotel.
Upon hearing this news, they sward in.
They were determined to properly interview Ling Shangshu imdiately...
However, upon arriving, they were puzzled.
The reason for their confusion was that they found the hotel looked very ordinary...
In their view, even if Ling Shangshu really intended to find a place to rest, it wouldn't be sowhere so ordinary.
After all, the place, although it looked nice,
compared to the most top-tier hotels, it was far inferior.
Being loudly questioned by others, the journalist who had spread the news rubbed his nose and said loudly, "I definitely didn't deceive anyone! I saw Ling Shangshu co here earlier."
Hearing such a confident statent, the others were still sowhat skeptical but said no more!
Seeing they were still dubious, the journalist snorted, "Alright, I know you still don't believe it. So, let's go inside and see for ourselves. If Ling Shangshu isn't here, I'll admit my mistake and treat you all to a al. Does that work for you?"
Hearing his confident words, the others nodded their heads.
Soon, they collectively said, "Alright, if Ling Shangshu isn't here, you treat us to a al. If he is here, then we've benefited from your lead, and we'll treat you instead!"
"Agreed, that's settled then."
After swiftly making this arrangent, he led the way forward!
Seeing this, the other journalists quickly followed with their equipnt...
After they walked into the courtyard, they felt it was very deserted.
In that instant, they felt the likelihood of Ling Shangshu being there had decreased even more.
With this in mind, they pushed open the door and stepped inside; after standing still, they were stunned. At that mont, they witnessed a scene they would never forget...
