Yun Ming pulled Director Xu and walked out, and the children also followed with curious eyes, only Nicole and a few younger sisters stayed in the house.
However, the following were all confidential topics.
Naturally, they had to avoid the children.
"Brother—"
"What's wrong, Ling'er? We can talk about it later."
Yun Ming put Ling'er on hold.
Ling'er's grievance value +10000.
Didn't he say he would take her out to play? Ling'er didn't care about playing or not, but in the end, her brother just made her watch—
He went to hug other older sisters.
It was simply too much!
He didn't even look at Ling'er before turning around and walking into the office, leaving Sister Hongdou outside as well.
Hongdou didn't think much of it.
She watched the changes in Ling'er's little face and found it a bit funny; who said she wasn't jealous just now?
The former Ling'er always gave people a timid feeling.
Her body was slender and weak, like a porcelain doll that would break at a touch, which made people feel heartbroken, and she rarely showed emotional fluctuations.
After all, they met very rarely.
But Hongdou often heard from Yun Ming about "How Cute My Picked-Up Sister Is," so even without meeting, she knew the bond between the girl and Yun Ming.
From the deepest despair and darkness, he pulled out a girl who was already waiting for death, and at such a young age.
The young girl subconsciously put herself in that position.
She also thought of the days after her mother had just passed away, when the other person was like a little sun—
Making her angry, making her happy.
What a gentle fool.
"When he comes out, will big sister help you get even?"
The young girl laughed charmingly, even more radiant than the warm winter sun, making the little boys in the Orphanage stare blankly.
Big sister is so beautiful… "No, Sister Hongdou isn't punishing brother, but rewarding him… Brother likes to tease you the most."
Ling'er was always unexpectedly insightful, puffing up her rosy cheeks, she hugged Hongdou and acted spoiled, then whispered.
"Sister Hongdou… do you think brother wants to take that sister named Nicole back?"
"Why would Ling'er think that?"
"Because brother asked her name… It was the same when brother tricked Yi Jiang and Yi Xuan to go up the mountain—"
Director's office.
It was called an office, but in reality, it was just a decent-looking table with some tea sets, which had clearly been used for many years.
Overall, it conveyed one word: poor.
Yun Ming was not polite, and immediately sat by the table, fiddling with the small wooden carvings made by the children.
It was an ugly Starlight Knight.
Equivalent to the animated heroes like Ultraman and Kamen Rider in his previous life, in this era, people always yearned for heroes.
So, whether it was toys or badges, they sold well.
Boys always have a chuunibyou heart.
However, Yun Ming did not long for heroes; he even hoped that this world would not need heroes, and even if it did… it shouldn't need the people around him.
Heroes mean countless sacrifices and salvations.
But it's unreasonable to let one person bear such heavy hope; shouldn't everyone save this world themselves?
That being said, in this unfair world, many people facing disaster can only helplessly wait for death.
They certainly struggled, but their struggle was useless.
Therefore, people yearned for heroes; he should have incredible power, absolute justice, whenever needed.
He would appear anywhere.
Yun Ming lowered his eyes as if lost in thought. After a brief silence, Director Xu brewed tea and handed it over.
"The children carved these themselves while watching TV when they had nothing to do, please excuse them."
"No, they are very well made… This shows that the younger brothers are full of hope for life."
"Yes, as long as there's life, there's always hope."
Xu Li was also moved by these words, but he changed the subject and asked about the matter Yun Ming specifically wanted to discuss with him privately.
Yun Ming was not in a hurry.
He first stated his refusal of the commission fee, then donated the money entrusted by Chen Nan to the Orphanage in his personal name.
This was not difficult to understand.
The closer the friends, especially as they get older, the harder it is to talk about money, and they always have more considerations.
Unlike when they were young, when they would just say, "Lend me five hundred."
No IOU, no idea when it would be repaid, no interest, just a grumbling transfer of money.
As for whether he donates personally… it's better to give the money to the Senior Sister to use on Yun Kui Mountain.
When poor, one should focus on self-improvement; isn't Chen Nan's money Hongdou's money, and Hongdou's money his money?
They are all family; Chen Nan's donation is equivalent to his donation, so he also gets a good reputation for free.
For this, Director Xu was naturally grateful.
"Cough cough…"
After talking for a long time, and a few cups of tea.
Yun Ming finally got to the point. He had just investigated Nicole's physique and bone structure, which he considered quite good.
After all, she would be a frequent visitor in the Void in the future.
As the leader of the Sly Rabbit's Den, her Aether adaptability naturally goes without saying; learning some low-level martial arts by scrambling on the streets, she could dominate an area.
If she learned Magic (Technique) and properly honed her body from a young age.
Yun Ming mused that in the future, she could probably barely catch up to the Senior Disciple Brother. As for comparing her with Xiaoya? It's better not to, mainly because that girl is quick-witted.
At such a young age, she already had the insight to handle things smoothly.
And the disciples of Yun Kui Mountain in this generation, apart from the Senior Disciple Brother, were mostly honest people like him, truly not fit for important tasks.
At least he could fight—
But the rest were either a bunch of slackers, health-conscious types, gossipers, or love-struck… just thinking about it was worrying.
Entrusting Nicole to the Senior Disciple Brother for guidance would definitely make a huge contribution to the future development of the sect. This matter should be done sooner rather than later!
"So, what do you think?"
"Don't worry, the conditions at my Yun Kui Mountain are definitely no worse than here. Uncle Chen should have told you that we have the final say over that small piece of land in Wei Fei Territory."
"Guaranteed to eat well and dress warmly… Hmm, and there are teachers to teach classes, and the villagers down the mountain are also very fragrant… I mean, kind!"
Yun Ming patted his chest to guarantee, but still added a sentence in his heart.
Although it's not yet, under his hand, Yun Kui Mountain will definitely grow stronger and achieve new glories!
Borrow a martial arts fanatic fox from the Hoshimi Family, then borrow a sly rabbit from you, and then go check out the Helios Organization—
To see if he can package a few more senior researchers back.
There's also the Silver Army experiment being organized by the Defense Force. Although these are top secret, Yun Ming is a transmigrator… First, grow stronger, then negotiate with the mayor and report those people for inhumane experiments, bringing the beautiful girl artificial soldiers back.
Just thinking about it makes him happy!
You see, isn't the future bright?
"Director, why aren't you speaking? Do you think our conditions aren't good enough?"
