Lan Xuanyu even thought that if he were to put this photo in the Exchange Center, how much would the title of being the richest man in the Outer Court be worth ? Would it attract many people to spend money to look at it?
But considering that flaunting his wealth wasn’t a good habit, he decided to forget it.
Should I pay back the loan now? After returning the 50 purple emblems from the Blacksmith’s Association, he still had over 70 purple emblems. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t be able to spend all of them.
However, he wasn’t in a hurry. After all, the interest rate given by the academy wasn’t high. It was about five yellow emblems per month. It was only about four percent a year. This was definitely a low-interest loan.
What moved him more was the suggestion that the honest-looking teacher had made. A special Exchange Center? What could there be? He said it could also increase his strength faster.
Lan Xuanyu thought about it and decided to take a look.
He didn’t inform his companions. After all, no one knew that he had so much money. He would go and broaden his horizons first before talking about anything else.
With that thought, Lan Xuanyu didn’t cultivate. He kept his emblems and went straight to the Exchange Center with the mindset of a tycoon.
The Exchange Center never lacked students and teachers. Lan Xuanyu lowered his head and walked into the Exchange Center. He looked around and then went to the consultation counter.
Behind the reception desk sat a young and beautiful female student. She was dressed in a green school uniform and looked to be about 16 or 17 years old. This was the most beautiful age for a girl.
“Hello, senior sister, I would like to ask about something.” Lan Xuanyu smiled.
Good looks always had an advantage, especially for Lan Xuanyu. His big eyes were clear and gentle, and his beautiful face had a tinge of childishness.
“Junior, what do you want to ask?” The young lady stood up and asked with a smile. Lan Xuanyu realized that this senior sister wasn’t short. She was half a head taller than him and was at least 1.75 meters tall. She was already very beautiful but with her slender figure, she looked even more charming.
“I heard that our Exchange Center has a special exchange office. I want to take a look there. I wonder where it is?” Lan Xuanyu quickly explained his intention.
The young lady was taken aback. “Special Exchange office? This requires you to fulfill the entry requirements. You have to prove that you have enough assets for us to confirm that you are qualified to enter. Also, you have to go through the approval procedures.”
Lan Xuanyu frowned. “So troublesome?”
“That’s right! As the items exchanged by the Special Exchange Center are all very precious, the academy has a very clear rule regarding this. The approval process also requires about seven working days to complete. This can only be done when there are no doubts about the assets you provide.”
Lan Xuanyu was speechless. Seven working days? After seven working days, the tournament should be over.
“Just use a yellow emblem and you can use my qualifications to enter and look for something suitable for you.” Just at this moment, a familiar voice resounded. When Lan Xuanyu turned around to look, he immediately saw a familiar face. Wasn’t it that simple and honest looking “teacher” that he had just seen?
Lan Xuanyu raised his brows and finally understood what the other party meant. So he was waiting for him here. Just using his qualifications cost a yellow emblem!
“Teacher, is it really alright for you to do this? Won’t your heart ache when you earn a student’s money?” Lan Xuanyu said in annoyance and turned to leave.
Although he could be considered as a wealthy person in the Outer Court, he could not spend money recklessly! A yellow emblem was quite valuable. He could buy ten liters of Sea God Lake water, and three would allow him to cultivate in the Sea God Lake once.
Seeing Lan Xuanyu leave in a hurry, the honest young man felt helpless. “I didn’t expect this junior to be such a miser!”
The young lady behind the counter said in annoyance, “Doesn’t your conscience hurt? Do you have to earn money from your junior?”
The honest young man smiled bitterly. “My dear, that’s because you don’t know the situation. This kid might be richer than me.”
The young girl was stunned. “That can’t be. By the way, why did he call you teacher?”
The honest young man rubbed his nose. “It might be a misunderstanding.”
The young girl suddenly burst out laughing. “Are you saying that you look old? And you’re not wearing your school uniform. No wonder.”
The honest young man’s face darkened. “You won’t have any friends like this.”
The young lady scoffed. “Fine, then I don’t have anyone. Go away.”
“I was wrong.” The honest young man immediately went forward to curry favor. “I worked so hard to earn money just to provide you with a good life in the future. Dear, I was wrong. Why don’t you punish me and let me stay in your dormitory tonight?”
“Is that to punish you or me? Look over there, the door is over there. Get out yourself.”
Lan Xuanyu didn’t leave the Exchange Center. He walked to the door and made a call through his soul communication device. He was smart and knew that although he had the qualifications, it would take him a week to apply, so it would be obviously too late. But someone had it! And it was someone who would never ask him for money.
“Teacher, we won today,” Lan Xuanyu said happily once the call went through.
“En, it’s good that you won. How was the process?” Tang Zhenhua’s lazy voice came over. It seemed like this person was drinking again. Other than during class, this sloppy teacher of his didn’t seem too reliable.
“Teacher, it’s like this. I’ve borrowed some money from the Blacksmith’s Association and used the rare metals from the end of term exam as collateral. I want to see if there is anything suitable to increase my strength at the Exchange Center. I heard that there is a Special Exchange Center here but I am not qualified to enter. I wonder if you can bring me in to take a look.”
“A loan? You’re quite quick-witted, huh! That’s right, a loan isn’t a bad thing either. They can’t do anything if we don’t return it.” Tang Zhenhua’s voice became excited.
Lan Xuanyu was speechless. Is it really alright for you to teach me this?
“Teacher, then…”
“Where are you?” Tang Zhenhua asked.
“At the entrance of the Exchange Center.” Lan Xuanyu quickly replied.
“Alright, wait for me there then. I’ll go over now.” Tang Zhenhua’s emotions were stirred up. Was the word “loan” so exciting?’ Lan Xuanyu suspected that this teacher of his had never returned a loan before!
Right at this moment, the honest young man walked out with a frown on his face. He glanced at Lan Xuanyu. Lan Xuanyu felt his gaze filled with malicious intent upon him and looked back at him.
“A shame for the deal, but I’m sure we’ll meet again someday. Next time, I feel that you won’t reject my proposal.” The honest young man smiled at him and strode away.
This teacher was really strange! Even until now, Lan Xuanyu still thought that this person was probably a teacher.
Not long after, the sloppy Tang Zhenhua appeared before Lan Xuanyu. As expected, when he got closer, Lan Xuanyu could clearly smell the scent of alcohol on his teacher.
“Teacher.” He bowed respectfully.
“En. Follow me.” Tang Zhenhua walked into the Exchange Center and headed straight for the elevator without stopping in the lobby.
There were many elevators in the Exchange Center. He brought Lan Xuanyu to the innermost area and stopped in front of an inconspicuous black elevator door. He took out a black card from his pocket and swiped it at the side. Immediately, the elevator door opened and revealed the simple and bright interior.
Lan Xuanyu followed Tang Zhenhua up the elevator. There was no button in the elevator, and after the doors closed, there was an obvious upward force.
Tang Zhenhua said, “I haven’t been here for some time. If you really want to buy something good, you have to come here. Although the price is very high, it is worth it. More importantly, the things here are not for outsiders. Oh, right, tell me what you want to buy later and don’t say it here. I will buy it for you later, just give me the emblems. There is a discount for Inner Court disciples and teachers. If Outer Court disciples buy it directly, not only will they have to pay the original price, but they will also have to pay additional fees.”
