Chapter 728: The Mysterious Old Man (First Update)
"What kind of challenge is the all-round department? Senior brother is to bring a junior brother to sign up......"
Huo Buchao motioned for Lin Yu to come over and cut in line.
"Isn't that okay?"
Lin Yu frowned, these people are all veterans of the academy, don't accidentally provoke difficult people just because you cut in line.
However, the seven or eight people before and after the cholera said that it didn't matter.
This made Lin Yu a little surprised at the time, Huo Buchao seemed to have a good relationship in the academy.
In the house in disrepair, there was only a white-bearded old man with a broom to clean, and other than that, Lin Yu didn't see anyone.
"Sweeper?"
Lin Yu was slightly shocked in his heart, in his subconscious, anyone who swept the floor in this kind of place was definitely a hidden peerless master.
The name of the sweeping monk has never been in vain.
"Where can I fill out the form?"
Lin Yu was puzzled, only the old man sweeping the floor was seen in this mansion, and there was no shadow of anyone else at all.
"I saw the room behind the old man, and when the old man finished sweeping the floor, he could go in and fill out the form...... said the old student in front of Lin Yu.
"I see. ”
Lin Yu nodded, and then dozens of people stared at the white-bearded old man in the courtyard sweeping the floor.
The old man's sweeping movements were extremely slow, and his palms trembled, just like he had Parkinson's disease.
At this rate, it is estimated that after sweeping the front yard, it will be dark.
Lin Yu had to accompany Zhu Xiaoyun to the quasi-outer courtyard to report on the assessment later, and he didn't want to waste time in the process of waiting.
So he took the initiative to stand up, walked up to the white-bearded old man, and said softly: "Uncle, why don't you clean up for you?"
Seeing Lin Yu take the initiative to go over to pick up the work, the old students who were queuing up had a smile on their faces.
"I've done this before, and it turned out later that the old man was really just a ...... sweeper"
"I can understand, anyone would guess that the person who can clean in this mansion must be a senior member of the academy with a special fetish......"
"Doomed to work in vain......"
Those old students did this last year or the year before last, and they originally wanted to be familiar, but who knew that they were really just an ordinary old man sweeping the floor.
So with the first experience, basically everyone ignored the existence of the old man, and it didn't matter if you waited a little longer, there was plenty of time.
The white-bearded old man slowly raised his head, glanced at Lin Yu, and then trembled and handed the broom in his hand to Lin Yu, and said, "There is this little man...... Lao"
The old man staggered to the side and sat down, looking at Lin Yu who was sweeping the floor with a broom.
Zhu Xiaoyun looked at Lin Yu with a look of surprise.
How could she not know that Lin Yu would also do this kind of work done by subordinates before? Could it be ...... This old man is a rare and powerful man?
Zhu Xiaoyun looked at the old man sitting not far away, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't touch the word strong.
Huo Buchao on the side, looked at Zhu Xiaoyun with a smile on his face and said: "Senior sister still needs to conduct the quasi-outer courtyard assessment, if Senior Brother Lin doesn't clean this house, at the speed of the old man, it is estimated that it will take a few hours, Senior Brother Lin is afraid of delaying your assessment......"
"Ah......h
Zhu Xiaoyun covered his mouth in surprise, feeling extremely warm in his heart, and his eyes looking at Lin Yu became as moving as autumn water.
Even if Lin Yu didn't think so, she thought so now.
Lin Yu felt that it was definitely a matter of self-interest for himself to help the old man and save time.
I don't think it's a shame to do this kind of thing.
After sweeping the open space in front of the house, the closed door suddenly opened, and a deep voice came from inside: "Disciples who want to participate in the assessment of the all-round department, come in quickly......"
"Rush, ......"
As soon as the voice fell, the people in the line, all like crazy, ran towards the open portal.
Lin Yu put down the broom and watched this scene in amazement.
He kind of got it...... The reason why everyone is so happy to let Huo Bu cut the queue is ......
There is no use in queuing, who can go first when the portal is open is the most important.
However, Lin Yu was a little confused...... It's just filling out a form to sign up, so what's the reason for all this madness?
Is there a plus point for the person who comes out on top?
"Senior Brother Lin, what are you still doing in a daze? Don't look at seventy or eighty people coming every day, but only ten people can sign up successfully......
Huo Buyan hurriedly shouted at Lin Yu, he didn't have to participate in the assessment, so naturally he didn't have to squeeze his head with those academy disciples to break the bloodstream.
"Why didn't Senior Brother say it earlier?"
Lin Yu was stunned at the time, no wonder these people were so crazy, there were only ten places a day.
Just when Lin Yu was about to use the handling technique to pull all these people out.
I don't know when, the white-bearded old man with weak legs and feet, out of nowhere, appeared behind him.
“???”
Lin Yu was shocked at the time, this was still the bad old man who couldn't walk just now?
"Little boy, this is the old man's reward for you......"
The white-bearded old man was holding a small wooden sign with the words 'Almighty' written on it.
"For the assessment?"
Lin Yu looked at the old man suspiciously, this brand is an ordinary small wooden card, and the three words are even more crooked.
It looks like it was written by a child who had just learned to write.
No matter how Lin Yu looked at it, he felt that it was carved by the old man out of boredom, and then gave it to him as a treasure.
The white-bearded old man glanced at the top of Lin Yu's head, then nodded and said, "Take this brand and let that little baby take you to the assessment......"
"No need to sign up?" Lin Yu was skeptical, did this little wooden sign have this effect? He was completely able to reproduce the exact same.
"No need to ......"
The white-bearded old man looked at Lin Yu deeply, picked up the broom, and continued to stagger, and his figure disappeared around the corner of the house.
"Senior brother, what are you doing in a daze? Go quickly......"
Huo Buchao was in a hurry and was about to smoke, if Lin Yu went to the all-round department to participate in the assessment, the day would have almost passed.
These ten talent crystals are quite comfortable.
But if Lin Yu fails to register, how will the next time pass? It is estimated that everything at the bottom of the box will be asked.
In this way, how will Lin Yu's business be done in the future?
It is really not easy to meet such a financier among the freshmen who are admitted to the hospital.
"That old man was talking to me just now......" Lin Yu said.
The corners of Huo Buyan's mouth twitched twice, and he said, "Senior brother, I'm only twenty-seven, and I'm not blind...... The old man has long since left, when will he talk to you?"
"What?"
Lin Yu's whole body was shocked, and he looked down at the small wooden sign in his palm, his excited body was trembling.
That old man is really not an ordinary person, he was obviously by his side just now, but Huo Buchao didn't see it at all.
What does this mean?
Explain that old man!
It is conceivable that the wooden sign in the palm of this hand is by no means an idle thing.
