Chapter 641: Chapter 641: This Child Needs To Be Disciplined, Don’t Bother About Him

Wei Linchen looked down at Liuliu, he honestly hadn’t expected the kid to take advantage of the situation this time and demand so much.

The pay raise from eight thousand and eight to nine thousand eight, was nearly a third of his monthly salary at Shengshi Academy, not including bonus and various allowances.

Liuliu appeared hesitant, probing, "What about nine thousand six?"

Wei Linchen narrowed his eyes, there was no hint of smile in his stare as he looked at Liuliu who held onto his thigh.

His expression was void and his voice lowered, "Remove the change."

Liuliu grimaced in pain, "Nine thousand five!"

Wei Linchen’s lips curved slightly, "Nine thousand."

Liuliu grinded his teeth, angrily declared, "Nine thousand three, can’t go any lower!"

Nine thousand three was his bottom line.

Wei Linchen, this time, did not voice any objections.

He reached out to touch Liuliu’s hair, his fingers curling around it.

As the hair was too short, it was not forming a complete curl.

Despite this, he continued to roll it half a curl at a time, tirelessly.

Liuliu shivered, a chill ran up his spine.

When Wei Linchen buried his fingers in his short hair, Liuliu’s survival instinct instantly kicked in.

He let go of the other’s thigh and yelled, "Nine thousand it is, but I want a steak dinner at the Imperial Court Hotel!"

"Deal!" Wei Linchen narrowed his eyes, showing a lazy smile on his scholarly face.

Liuliu quickly got up, brushing dust off his leg.

All his bemoaning, only for a raise of just two hundred.

No matter how he calculated, it felt like a loss.

Thinking about the secret recipe steak at Imperial Court Hotel, Liuliu began to salivate.

The steak was more in demand than salary, every time he had it, the boss bled money.

Qin Ruan, Lin Hao and others watched this extraordinary performance between superiors and subordinates, after the initial shock, they quickly returned to normal.

Qin Ruan hadn’t expected the seemingly mature and steady Wei Linchen to have such a lively treasure by his side.

Wei Linchen met Qin Ruan’s mocking gaze, with an open and honest expression, smiling, "The kid just needs a little discipline, so pay him no mind."

Liuliu walked to the table, picked up the data that he had brought back from Odi’s School archive room.

Hearing the boss’s words, he angrily glared back at him.

"Boss, this is the personal record of the six male victims."

Liuliu, holding the data in his arms, walked over and handed him six file bags, still holding two in his hand.

Wei Linchen took them, and together with Qin Ruan, began reading the files in the room.

Liuliu put the last two files from his arms onto the table.

"These two files are Cheng Xuelan’s personal records, and the records of Huangjue Tree’s excavation from Qi Mountain in Cloud City."

Qin Ruan, who was reviewing the victims’ files, suddenly looked up upon hearing this.

"Qi Mountain?"

Her sharp, icy gaze fixated on Liuliu.

Her chilling aura was undisguised, and fervently emanating.

Liuliu’s legs trembled a little, this woman was quite pretty, why was her gaze so murderous?

He hadn’t provoked her, had he?

Wei Linchen pulled Liuliu closer to him and turned to look at Qin Ruan, "Is there a problem with Qi Mountain?"

Qin Ruan narrowed her brow, "The problem lies with the Huangjue Tree."

The core entity of Lingfeng and Lan An was in Qi Mountain in Cloud City, for thousands of years, they had never moved.

Qin Ruan picked up the record file of the Huangjue Tree, flipping through the contents.

It was written in traditional Chinese characters, some of the words were a bit unusual for Qin Ruan, but she could generally understand the contents.

Huangjue Tree was indeed moved from Qi Mountain in Cloud City.

If one were to follow the standard procedures now, moving the Huangjue Tree from Qi Mountain would require a lot of paperwork.

Transplanting a tree a hundred years ago wasn’t this complicated.

This record exists because when the school was established, a Taoist suggested planting an ancient tree at the school.

The choices were the Huangjue Tree and the Bodhi Tree, and the school leaders eventually chose the former.

This Huangjue Tree was transplanted from Qi Mountain.

It has been planted in Odi School for hundreds of years.

If the Huangjue Tree came from Qi Mountain, it’s no wonder that they have a piece of dead wood from the Blue Eucalyptus.

In the small grove, when Qin Ruan extracted the soul of a little girl, she learned that the Huangjue Tree had been thriving on killing for the past hundred years, using the lost souls’ Puppet Power to cultivate

In his hand, he had a treasure, which was the dead wood of the Blue Eucalyptus, a wood spirit.

The Blue Eucalyptus has survived in this world for thousands of years, and even a broken branch is filled with thousands of years of cultivation.

The Huangjue Tree used the dead wood of the Blue Eucalyptus to control humans who had come to make a wish to it.

Over so many years, it has already claimed the dead wood of the Blue Eucalyptus as its own.

The piece of Blue Eucalyptus’ dead wood has thousands of years of spiritual power, which the Huangjue Tree has taken for itself.

Everyone it controlled in their afterlife would be implanted with the wood spirit of the Blue Eucalyptus.

Those implanted with the wood spirit are its marked prey.

When the prey dies, the Huangjue Tree can absorb their final Puppet Power and transform it into its own cultivative energy.

Puppet bodies that have lost their utilitarian value will be torn apart, their souls scattering into the wind.

The dead wood of the Blue Eucalyptus that falls from the Puppet body of the deceased soul will be continuously used by the Huangjue Tree to find the next prey.

This has been going on for hundreds of years without a break.

The process is brutally cruel and shatters one’s world view.

The little girl’s experience still leaves Qin Ruan feeling heavy-hearted.

Qin Ruan threw the information she was holding onto the table.

She glanced down at the seven lost souls cowering by the table.

Cheng Xuelan had awakened, her eyes full of anger and resentment, staring at Qin Ruan.

Qin Ruan gave a deep command to the seven Puppets, "Take off your clothes."

The male Puppets all covered their collars as if Qin Ruan was going to do something indecent to them.

Qin Ruan scoffed, "Which of you have dead wood inside you? Show me."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xuelan’s pale face changed drastically: "Why? If we give it to you, we will all die!"

Qin Ruan didn’t bother to argue with her. She reached out to grab a male Puppet from across the space.

As the male Puppet trembled with fear, Qin Ruan tore open his clothes.

There was a bulge in the heart position on the male Puppet’s chest. It was clear that something was hidden there.

Qin Ruan furrowed her brow and reached out to grab it.

The pale skin was torn off by hand, revealing a terrifying wound that looked dark and red.

Black blood flowed down the wound, dripping onto the floor of the room.

The piece of dead wood in the male puppet’s chest was clearly visible to Qin Ruan.

It was the same kind of wood and had the same aura as the dead wood left in the room before Nangong Yunlong died.

Qin Ruan frowned, looking puzzled.

Why does the original wood of the Blue Eucalyptus have a faint lingering aura of Lingfeng on it?

Under the hundred year refinement of the Huangjue Tree, the aura of the Blue Eucalyptus and Lingfeng had not completely weakened.

In the horrifying acts brought about by the Huangjue Tree, what roles did the Blue Eucalyptus and Lingfeng play?

Qin Ruan looked solemn, she took a deep breath and carelessly threw the male Puppet in her hand onto the ground.

Seeing her looking serious and the oppressive aura she was releasing, Wei Linchen sat upright.

"What happened?" he inquired

Qin Ruan glanced at him: "Things are getting more complicated. The Huangjue Tree is involved with two... people I know."

She hesitated for a moment at the end.

After a moment’s hesitation, she still didn’t acknowledge Lingfeng and Lan An’s identities.
