Zhou Wanwan asked excitedly, "You mean this person is extremely rich?"

Yun Duo nodded and said:

"Rich, super rich. The Jianghu Alliance has a list specifically for the rich."

He would rank 88th on the Wealth Ranking.

Zhou Wanwan said with a look of disdain, "88th on the Wealth Ranking? Pfft! How much money is that?"

Yun Duo exclaimed in surprise, "Those ranked 88th on the Wealth Ranking are all extremely powerful; this is the Jianghu Alliance's ranking list."

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "How rich are you?"

The Yun Duo counted on their fingers:

"The person ranked 88th on the list has openly opened more than ten restaurants within the territory of the Jianghu Gate alone, with business spanning several cities, making a fortune every day."

He also secretly owned pawnshops, trading companies, carriage and horse companies, and even had a stake in dock warehouses.

But this man was incredibly low-key to the core, never showing off. Few in the martial arts world knew his true residence, and he kept his whereabouts extremely secret.

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said:

"Every person, as long as they walk and do things in this world, will inevitably leave a trace."

Alright, you're busy now! Let's redecorate our restaurant; this time, it needs to be much more luxurious.

"Huh? We've already been vandalized twice, and you're still going to renovate it even more luxuriously?" Yun Duo asked, completely puzzled.

Zhou Wanwan pulled out ten thousand taels of gold and said, "Well, we won't lose money anyway. Listen to me, the more luxuriously this restaurant is decorated, the better."

Yun Duo reluctantly accepted the gold.

Zhou Wanwan didn't linger any longer and left with the Old Scholar Tree.

The Old Scholar Tree smiled and said, "Shall we go find number ninety-three on the Earth Ranking now?"

Zhou Wanwan snorted and said, "Of course we'll settle accounts with him, but we also need to deal with the tails following behind him."

Those tails that are watching so intently belong to the restaurant across the street.

Those men, all brandishing knives and radiating murderous intent, demanded, "Where did that little girl go? How did she disappear in the blink of an eye?"

"I clearly saw her skipping and hopping out of the city! How could a six-year-old girl run so fast?"

Zhou Wanwan didn't dare sit on the Old Scholar Tree in the city, otherwise it would be too conspicuous.

She prefers to keep a low profile.

But these people just couldn't understand why a child could run so fast.

The group whispered among themselves under the tree, "That little girl is the restaurant owner; I've observed her several times already."

"How could a six-year-old girl be the boss?"

"Pshaw, who knows? Now that they're gone, what are we going to do?"

"Let's go back! Tomorrow, we'll tell our boss that the restaurant was so easily destroyed, and the little girl didn't dare say anything."

Suddenly, these people were entangled by tree roots, and the Old Scholar Tree pulled them directly in front of Zhou Wanwan.

Zhou Wanwan waved to them from the tree, saying, "Hello! How are you?"

Their faces turned green. "You... how did you get here? How did you get in a tree?"

"A monster! There's a monster!"

Zhou Wanwan pouted and said, "Where are the monsters? Are you trying to say I'm a monster?"

Those people were trembling with fear:

"My Little Ancestor, I know I was wrong, please forgive us!"

We're just employees; the boss ordered us to ruin your shop.

"I have elderly parents to care for and young children to raise, please! Waaah..."

Zhou Wanwan said calmly, "If you catch me, will you let me go?"

"Yes, yes..."

The Old Scholar Tree simply tossed them over to the other old trees nearby.

The old tree absorbed all of these people directly.

Actually, these guys are all quite strong; many of them are Earth Ranking experts, but they're not ranked highly.

After the old trees finished eating these people, they happily spun around in circles, exclaiming, "How comfortable! I feel like I've leveled up again!"

"I feel like I'm brimming with energy. Does that mean if we eat these people, we'll become incredibly powerful?"

"That's natural. Look at the Old Scholar Tree, it's practically a tree spirit! Look at its roots, they've already reached dozens of meters in diameter."

The Old Scholar Tree chuckled and said, "Brothers, do you know what our mountain stronghold's slogan is?"

"If you listen to Wanwan, life will be wonderful."

The Old Scholar Tree exclaimed happily, "Let's go! We have to find number 93 on the Earth Ranking!"

Along the way, they asked questions of thousands of trees and recruited thousands of followers before finally arriving at the territory of number 93 on the Earth Ranking.

No one would have imagined that such a beautiful mountain villa was hidden in such a remote and secluded place.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Zhou Wanwan's eyes, and she nodded with a smile, saying, "This manor is built just as well as our Black Wind Stronghold."

The white walls and black tiles are hidden among the green trees and flowers, built against the mountain, blending into the spring scenery.

A light mist swirls around the mountainside, creating a scene resembling a living landscape painting, so beautiful that it's impossible to look away.

But upon closer inspection, it becomes clear how deeply hidden this place is, and how dangerous it is.

The outside is all steep slopes and cliffs. Even if an outsider stumbles and struggles all the way to the foot of the mountain, he would at most think it is a desolate and dead-end road.

Not to mention that this place is a maze; if it weren't for the trees guiding their way, anyone who came in would have gotten lost and wouldn't have been able to find the door at all.

Zhou Wanwan gazed at the secluded mountain villa and said:

"The location is hard to find and well hidden; it would take a lot of effort for anyone to find it! This is exactly what we need."

The key is that there's so much land inside this villa; isn't this the villa of my dreams?

Old Scholar Tree and his group moved even faster, carrying Zhou Wanwan all the way through mountains and valleys.

Before long, it landed steadily in the courtyard of the mountain villa.

As soon as Zhou Wanwan entered the courtyard, she was taken aback.

This is no ordinary mountain villa.

It looks exactly like a water town in Jiangnan!

The small bridge curves gently, the stream flows babblingly, and the water is so clear that it reflects the willow trees and houses on the bank.

Dozens of old trees grow lushly, their branches and leaves drooping to the water's surface. When the wind blows, the leaves sway gently, splashing up a few drops of water.

The courtyard was paved with bluestone slabs, clean and tidy, with several flowers and plants in full bloom, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees.

Walking in such a place, Zhou Wanwan felt her heart calm down instantly.

There was no noise, no worries, only the babbling of water and the chirping of birds.

And then there were the sounds of the flowers, plants, and trees, chirping incessantly, "Oh dear! Where did this little girl come from? I just opened my eyes and there she was!"

A crabapple tree nearby chimed in, "How did she get in? We haven't seen any outsiders at our manor in ages."

"Wow! This Scholar Tree is so tall and strong! I love it!" A camphor tree next to it stared at the Old Scholar Tree with a lovestruck expression.

The Old Scholar Tree scratched its head and said, "Am I really that good? You're making me blush with praise."

Camphor Tree nodded quickly and said, "Okay, that's great, brother, what brings you here?"
