Chapter 245: Under the Alien 7
Zhang Chulan has grown up alone in an orphanage since his grandfather passed away. The long period of living alone has trained him to have eyes that are good at observing people's words and expressions.
When he saw that Feng Baobao no longer had the same fierce look as before, he immediately stood up from the ground with a flattering smile on his face, and called out to Feng Baobao cautiously, "Sister Baoer..."
Then, at the moment when Feng Baobao turned her head to look at him, Zhang Chulan felt a chill running down his spine. He shuddered and quickly changed his words, "Master, Master, hehehe."
Hearing this name, Feng Baobao showed a satisfied look and nodded slightly.
At this time, Zhang Chulan began to look around. Wherever his eyes swept, he saw workers busy carrying express parcels and machines and equipment that were constantly running to deliver express parcels.
The scene before him was far different from the alien company he had imagined in his mind. There was no cool feeling that people had expected, only an ordinary and common working scene.
Looking at all this, Zhang Chulan felt a little disappointed and muttered to himself, "How can this be some extraordinary company? It's clearly just an ordinary courier company!"
He had originally come here with great joy and endless anticipation, but now he couldn't help feeling a little frustrated and disappointed.
Xu San burst out laughing after hearing this. He reached out and pushed his glasses up, then slowly said, "This is a branch of Nadutong Company. From the outside, it does look like an ordinary courier company. But, you can't judge anything by its appearance."
As he spoke, he led people through a door and motioned Zhang Chulan to look inside.
Zhang Chulan followed his gaze and his eyes widened instantly. A world completely different from the outside world appeared before his eyes. The supernatural powers such as lifting objects with the mind and making them bigger or smaller were dazzling.
Lin Jiu was very satisfied with Zhang Chulan's surprise. She thought back to when she first saw the real Nadoutong, she was also quite surprised. However, compared to Zhang Chulan's shock, Lin Jiu felt that she was still quite steady. She was not as jumpy as him, and looked like she had never seen the world.
Xu San seemed to know what Lin Jiu was thinking. He glanced at her with a smile in his eyes and continued, "Chu Lan, you've already fought against Quan Xing's gang, so I won't elaborate on this point. Now the whole alien world has spread the news that you are a descendant of the Qi Body Origin. Even if you deny that you don't know the Qi Body Origin, they will never believe it! Moreover, the fact that Quan Xing sent people to arrest you this time is enough to prove the problem. Not to mention that there are other forces that are secretly watching and ready to make a move! Chu Lan, you are very smart. I don't need me to tell you these things. I think you should know them clearly in your heart."
As Xu San spoke, he glanced at Zhang Chulan with a meaningful look.
At this time, Zhang Chulan pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
He kept pulling the rubber band on his wrist, as if trying to use the pain caused by this method to relieve the turbulent emotions deep in his heart.
After a long moment, Zhang Chulan suddenly raised his head, his gaze fixed with unnatural determination and seriousness on Xu San, Lin Jiu, and Feng Baobao. He asked solemnly, word by word, "So, what about you? You also deliberately sent people to approach me because you want the source of Qi, right?"
Xu San stared straight at Zhang Chulan, his lips curled up slightly as he smiled softly. "If I told you I had no idea about the origin of Qi, you wouldn't believe me even if you beat me to death. But I can tell you one thing for sure: we really do want to protect you."
After saying that, he sighed softly.
Lin Jiu, who was standing by, blinked her bright eyes but remained silent. This was because she seemed to be one of those who "coveted" the source of Qi.
On the other side, Feng Baobao seemed to be completely out of the matter. She was in a state of emptiness, with a blank look in her eyes, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
After hearing what Xu San said, Zhang Chulan first showed a sarcastic smile on his face, but it was unknown whether this smile was directed at other people present or at himself.
But not long after, his expression disappeared without a trace, and he returned to his usual image of an ordinary, somewhat lazy otaku, and began to look around.
Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion
At this time, the old Taoist priest was sitting leisurely on a chair after finishing the last round of the game. He slowly put down his mobile phone and turned his gaze to his young disciple Zhang Lingyu, who was sitting beside him with his back straight.
The old Taoist priest frowned slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
He gently stroked his graying beard and said thoughtfully, "Lingyu, I have a question for you. Do you know the young man named Zhang Chulan?"
When Zhang Lingyu heard his master suddenly mention this name, he was startled, but he quickly regained his composure.
After a moment's thought, he replied, "Master, I know this person. I heard that he is the successor of the recently emerged Qi Body Origin School."
The old Taoist priest nodded, indicating that he approved of Zhang Lingyu's answer.
Then, his expression grew serious, and he stared intently at Zhang Lingyu and said, "Yes, it's this boy. Now that the Alien Martial Arts Competition is about to begin, I have decided to send you down the mountain in person. Make sure to find Zhang Chulan and give him our sect's invitation to attend this Alien Martial Arts Competition."
Zhang Lingyu's body shook violently when he heard this.
However, after just a moment, he quickly adjusted himself, stood up, and respectfully saluted the old Heavenly Master. He replied solemnly, "Yes, Master! I will definitely fulfill my mission and complete it."
