Royal Alchemist

This matter started a few days ago.

Zhu Xifeng heard about the news that Wallace sent the royal guards to arrest Feng Qi immediately.

He was not interested in working in the office, wandering around anxiously, asking people to inquire about the situation from time to time.He had guessed many possibilities, such as Feng Qi was shot dead on the spot, or was caught and the ending was more likely to be fatal, or he fled desperately and was killed anyway.

But what I didn't expect was the news that the Shining Legion had defected, Mensa's armed coup d'état, and the imperial capital was in chaos.

Qiuye and Fengqi were safe and sound, Zhu Xifeng was relieved at first, but then realized something was wrong.

Qiu Ye and the others treacherous, there must be a destination, right?Where can they go?

The heartbeat accelerated without warning, and Zhu Xifeng's body seemed to be hit by an electric current. The feeling of paralysis flowed from the heart to the fingertips, almost making him unable to breathe. A guess formed in his brain.

At the step of treason, besides going to him, what other choice would Qiuye have?No more!They can only go to him!

he……

Zhu Xifeng staggered as if he couldn't stand, and put his hands on the desk.

Qiu Ye went to find him, so what about me?

Almost without hesitation, without any worries at all, he made a decision.

go find him!

But where is he?Where can I find him?

Zhu Xifeng immediately thought of Qiuye's home on Galo Star.Back then when Qiuye was a student, Zhu Xifeng checked his information and found out that he had a real estate left by Qiu Xingyao on Jialuo Planet, and a housekeeper guarded it for him.

Since Qiuye is treasonous, the only person who can still find Qiuye is his butler.

Zhu Xifeng made a decisive decision and went to Qiuye's house on Galo Star!

Time was running out, so Zhu Xifeng packed his things immediately. If he was late and his housekeeper had already fled, it would be troublesome.

Zhu Xifeng is a person who doesn't care about anything and can give up everything, so he hurriedly saved some information, packed some personal belongings, and was about to leave with his bag.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhuo Fan standing at the door.

Zhuo Fan looked at Zhu Xifeng who was carrying a big bag in surprise: "Where are you going?"

"No! Didn't go anywhere! Going to take a vacation!" Zhu Xifeng blurted out.

Zhuo Fan was even more surprised: "It's a turmoil outside now, why don't you go on vacation?"

Zhu Xifeng sighed, retreated to the office, pulled Zhuo Fan in and closed the door.

He is not very good at lying, let alone facing his friends, and he doesn't want to deceive him with lies.

"I'm going to find...he..."

Zhuo Fan found a trace of excitement in his serious tone: "... who is he?"

Zhu Xifeng swallowed with difficulty: "Dean Clark."

Zhuo Fan took a deep breath, his voice trembling involuntarily: "Have you found him?"

"Yes." Zhu Xifeng moved closer and lowered his voice, "Do you know about Fengqi and Qiuye's defection?"

Zhuo Fan was puzzled: "I see, I came to you just for this matter, and I wanted to ask if you have a way to save them. Does it have anything to do with Dean Clark?"

"I've been holding back on this matter for a long time, and I think only you can understand my feelings." Although Zhu Xifeng tried his best to restrain his emotions, he couldn't hide his excitement, and he even sped up his speech, "I've already met him, Just when Qiu Ye came back from recuperation. Qiu Ye knew Dean Clark very early, and they have been in contact. I don’t know what they are doing, but Feng Qi and the others defected this time, I guess they will go to him in all likelihood , so I... I'm going to find him..."

At the end, Zhu Xifeng choked up uncontrollably, and Zhuo Fan opened his mouth slightly, slowly digesting the news.

"Okay...okay..." Zhuo Fan spoke intermittently, unable to form a sentence, "It's so good...for so many years, forget about your wish..."

"I'm leaving soon, and I'm afraid I won't be able to find someone to take me there if it's too late."

"Then you go quickly. If someone here asks, do you want me to delay it for you?"

"No, anyway, I don't care if I'm alone, don't get into trouble, I'll be gone when you come."

Zhuo Fan nodded, the sudden separation made him a little sad: "Then I wish you the best of luck."

"You..." Zhu Xifeng saw that his expression was not right, "Are you okay..."

"What can I do?" Zhuo Fan showed a bitter smile on Qingjun's face, "I'm just happy for you. At least you have someone to wait for and a place to go. It's really good. Be careful on the road. Mensa's men and the Emperor's men are at war."

Zhu Xifeng stepped forward and hugged Zhuo Fan, and after the two hugged tightly for a while, Zhu Xifeng left quickly.

Zhuo Fan watched him go away, his bones leaned against the corridor as if they had been pulled out.

Like two people trapped in a maze, Zhu Xifeng finally found his exit after searching for half his life, but his own maze has no exit from the beginning, so how can he get out?

Zhu Xifeng rushed from Didu star to Jia Luo star overnight without stopping, and found Qiu Ye's home according to the address.

The door of Akiba's house is closed, and it looks as if no one lives there.

Is the person already gone?Zhu Xifeng was so anxious that his heart jumped out of his throat, he forced his way into the vestibule of Qiuye's house, and broke in.

The room was quiet, and there was no one there, and Zhu Xifeng almost felt hopeless.

When he passed a room, an arc of light suddenly shot out from behind the door, Zhu Xifeng twisted his body and dodged, clinging to the wall, Paxi rushed out brandishing his saber.

Just as Zhu Xifeng was about to make a move, he saw the person's face clearly: "Don't do it! I'm going to find Qiu Ye!"

Paxi also recognized that it was Zhu Xifeng, and pointed his knife at him vigilantly, but in fact, with Zhu Xifeng's strength, Paxi was not his opponent at all.

Zhu Xifeng saw some packed boxes piled up in the room behind him, and said anxiously: "Are you going to find Qiuye? Take me! Take me with you!"

Pash looked at him suspiciously.

"Take me there, I'm going to find... Dean Clark..." Zhu Xifeng's eyes burst out with a strange color.

Paxi slowly put down his saber: "I want to confirm with the other side."

Where is he really!See you soon!There was enthusiasm in Zhu Xifeng's eyes.

When the ship arrived at Queser Star, Paxi disembarked first, while Zhu Xifeng stayed in the cabin without moving.

When he was obviously on the road, he was so anxious that he wished to flash to the destination port immediately, but when he did arrive, he felt a sense of fear.

So he adjusted his emotions silently, until he heard Qiu Ye and Dean Clark rushing onto the ship yelling.

He stood at the door of the cabin for a long time, watching them throw themselves into the pile of shiny gemstones, and listening to their thoughts about the future, he suddenly became angry again, how could such a big man ignore them while standing at the door?

"Gordon Clark, turn your head and look at me!" Zhu Xifeng shouted loudly.

Boss Jin turned his head away with difficulty like a paralyzed patient, with mixed feelings in his heart, surprise, joy, guilt and various emotions entangled together.

Zhu Xifeng took a step forward, moving slowly like a volcano about to erupt. Although Boss Jin didn't move, he leaned back involuntarily.

Qiu Ye looked at the two of them nervously. Rationally speaking, he should withdraw from this land of right and wrong as soon as possible to leave space for them, but emotionally speaking...

He couldn't bear to part with this cabin full of gems!

He really wanted to drive the two of them out, fight and quarrel with them, and then happily sleep in the gem, but judging from the current situation, it seemed unrealistic.

At this moment, Qiu Ye's communicator rang, and seeing Feng Qi's message, she jumped up as if she had received an amnesty: "Feng Qi is looking for me, I'm leaving, you guys talk slowly!"

Qiu Ye rushed out of the cabin, and closed the cabin casually with good habits, and the small space immediately became quiet.

The two looked at each other a few steps away, but neither of them spoke first.

In just a few seconds when Qiu Ye ran out of the cabin, Zhu Xifeng thought a lot.

At one time, he thought that he would not be able to restrain his anger after the meeting, so he would rush up and beat him up first.But when he saw that face that was both familiar and blurred by time, his mind went blank.

Boss Jin was even more surprised. After Qiuye decided to betray the empire, he thought about finding a suitable opportunity to contact Zhu Xifeng to see if he had any intention of joining him. However, he did not expect that Zhu Xifeng would suddenly appear in the out of sight.

Zhu Xifeng walked up to Boss Jin in a few steps, and kicked aside a gem that was in the way at his feet.

"Hey." Boss Jin said heartbroken, "Just take it out on me if you feel angry in your heart, don't toss these gems, what a beautiful gem, you can step on it."

Zhu Xifeng, who still wanted to have a normal conversation with him, immediately exploded: "You still talk about gems with me? I am standing in front of you now, what do you care about gems! I am a great alchemist now!"

Boss Jin couldn't understand the logic of these two sentences at all. He felt that he was facing a roaring lion. If the sound wave was really attacking, he had to compromise and said: "Okay, you can step on it, anyway, it's Xiao Qiuye's. not mine."

The last meeting was too hasty and chaotic, almost negligible, now the two can finally sit face to face, and more importantly, there is no barrier between that layer of mask.

Before he could react, Zhu Xifeng's hand had already touched Boss Jin's face.

"18 years..." Zhu Xifeng murmured, "18 years..."

Boss Jin did not disappear immediately after the death of Marshal Ravenor in battle. In order to avoid suspicion, he continued to arrange matters for his companions as Lieutenant General of the Empire and President of the Royal Academy of Sciences. He did not pretend to disappear until six years later. 18 years.

Zhu Xifeng has not seen this face for 18 years. Although it is difficult to tell the age of a person from the appearance due to the advancement of medicine, the years still leave faint fine lines in the corners of his eyes.Zhu Xifeng's fingertips slid on his skin, as if he wanted to engrave his appearance deeply in his heart, to make up for the lost time.

In the next second, Zhu Xifeng suddenly pinched the back of his neck with his hand, and pressed him hard against the gemstone.

"Ouch! Take it easy, I'm old and I can't stand your rudeness." Boss Jin yelled, the sharp and angular gems hurt him very much.

"How dare you say that!" Zhu Xifeng overwhelmed him with his voice.

Boss Jin felt that the lion had rushed over and pressed its paw on his face, ready to bite it off at any moment.

Zhu Xifeng still loosened his hands a little, but pressed his body up, his lips pressed against his ears: "I hate you!"

The three words made Boss Jin's heart skip a beat, and he lost all desire to fool him.

"I have hated you every day for the past 18 years. How could you be so cruel and leave me without even saying a word?"

Zhu Xifeng spoke very slowly, every word was like a blunt knife, slashing across Boss Jin's heart.

"I'm sorry." Boss Jin said hoarsely, he didn't know what else to say besides this sentence.

"You are so cruel to me!" Zhu Xifeng took a breath, as if he could have enough strength to finish what he wanted to say, "I have been chasing after you like a fool since I was a child, but you even looked back at me I'm too lazy. Will I be sad, will I be sad, I'm afraid you didn't even think about it when you left, it's not in your consideration at all, right?"

Boss Jin originally wanted to argue that he had thought about it, but suddenly he felt that he had said it, so what?I thought about it, but I still threw it away cruelly, isn't it more cruel?

"I finally caught you now, are you still running away this time?" Zhu Xifeng squeezed the back of his neck tightly.

Boss Jin turned his head to look at him with difficulty: "Are you going to join us?"

"It has nothing to do with you, I'm talking about you!" Zhu Xifeng emphasized you.

"You left the Academy of Sciences just like that?" The people of the Academy of Sciences found that they couldn't find the dean the next day, and they felt confused after thinking about it.

Zhu Xifeng's eyes widened: "How dare you speak of me? Was it a ghost who left the Academy of Sciences?"

Boss Jin sneered, it seems that it has become the tradition of the Royal Academy of Sciences for the dean to leave without saying a word.

"Your identities will be exposed soon. If I don't come to you, will you come to me?" Zhu Xifeng asked suddenly, his eyes darkened like an endless abyss.

"Yes." Boss Jin sighed, "I have plans to come to you."

As if a blind person suddenly saw the light, Zhu Xifeng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"I'm a great alchemist now." Zhu Xi said triumphantly.

"I know." Boss Jin was puzzled why he repeatedly emphasized that he was obviously not a high-profile person.

"You promised me that when I become a great alchemist, I can marry you." Zhu Xifeng was very serious.

Boss Jin was shocked: "When did I promise such a thing! How could I promise such a thing!"

Zhu Xifeng was full of hostility: "You actually reneged on your debt! You clearly promised! I worked so hard to become a great alchemist just to marry you! You actually don't recognize it now!"

"I..." Boss Jin couldn't argue, "Whether it is a great alchemist is your own business, no matter how powerful your strength is, it has nothing to do with me? Oh no, of course I am very happy that you can become a great alchemist Yes, as your teacher, I am very pleased to have taught you an excellent student, but what does this have to do with marriage? Besides, how could I agree to let you marry me? If you want to marry, I should marry you You, there is no reason for you, a little guy, to marry me. It's just out of the sky! Now it's just the two of us, you can just talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense after you go out, let people hear my old face. ?I……"

Seeing Boss Jin's chattering, constantly moving mouth, Zhu Xifeng only had one thought in his mind, which was to block it with something.

But there didn't seem to be anything suitable, and his mind was in a mess. He lowered his head and covered his lips with his mouth.

The passionate and thirsty kiss landed on the lips like fire from the sky, burning to the apex of the heart, no other kiss had tried so hard, heart-piercing, as if they were kissing with their whole life.

Boss Jin whimpered: "Ouch, my waist..."

18 years ago, one was young and the other was young.

The young one ran after the young one. Although he was half a head shorter than him, he still pressed him against the wall with all his strength: "Did you go on a blind date today! Tell me honestly, your family members Let me introduce you to the beautiful daughter, right!"

The young man didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and let him push himself into a corner: "I didn't know until I went there, oh, I didn't actually have such thoughts, besides, my requirements are quite high."

The young man asked solemnly: "What do you want?"

"Uh, at least a great alchemist."

The young man didn't understand what the other party was joking about, so he thought about it seriously: "I see."

"Ah? What do you know?" At a loss.

"When I become a great alchemist, I will marry you!" The tone was so serious that it was almost rigid.

After being stunned for a long time, a burst of laughter broke out: "Ahahaha, you are so cute, ouch, my stomach hurts from laughing."

"I'm serious!"

"Okay, hahaha, then I'll wait for you to become a great alchemist! Hey, I still have a lot of things to do, so I'll get busy first. Oh, my little lion is so fun."

Qiu Ye stumbled and ran out of the ship, saw Feng Qi was already waiting at the pier, and rushed over.

"What's wrong, you're in such a panic, have you seen Paxi?" Feng Qi hugged Qiu Ye who bumped into his arms.

"Did you already know that Pache would come?"

"Yes, I told Paxi not to tell you, but to give you a surprise."

Qiu Ye caressed her chest: "Surprise, surprise, it's really a surprise, but why buy one get one free, and there's a shock?"

Feng Qi was slightly stunned and then realized: "It's Dean Zhu, isn't it? This is a surprise I gave to Boss Jin."

"It's too scary. Dean Zhu looks like he's going to eat people." Qiu Ye bared his teeth, "Let's go! I have pity on my pile of gems!"

"That's why I came here to pick you up. They haven't seen each other for so long, they must have a lot to say."

Feng Qi's words suddenly touched the depths of Qiu Ye's heart. How does it feel to wait alone for 18 years?

Qiu Ye never dared to mention Zhu Xifeng in front of Boss Jin, even if she was curious, she didn't dare to say more, because every time he was mentioned, Boss Jin couldn't hide the guilt in his eyes, it was so much that it was suffocating.

Year after year, hopeless and helpless, just for a person who doesn't know if he can wait, wasting years.

If they fail to follow the marshal's plan in this life, or Boss Jin dies unexpectedly, then Zhu Xifeng's waiting will no longer have an end.

Maybe this life is consumed like this, and I will be alone for the rest of my life.

Thinking of this, Akiba's heart ached.

"If one day I disappear, will you wait for me?" Qiu Ye suddenly asked.

"I've been waiting for you for two lifetimes, what do you think?" Feng Qi's tone was very light, as if he was saying something that was taken for granted.

Qiu Ye held his hand tightly, her heart seemed to have fallen into a soft cloud, an indescribable comfort.

-

The next morning, Qiuye came to the restaurant early for breakfast.

After a while, Zhu Xifeng appeared at the door. He was still very unfamiliar with the environment, so he found the table and looked around in a daze.

one person?Qiu Ye slowed down chewing the steamed stuffed bun, why was he alone, and wasn't Boss Jin bringing him to the restaurant?

I saw that Zhu Xifeng ordered two breakfasts following the example of others, and was about to find a seat to sit down when he saw Qiu Ye waving to him.

"Dean Zhu, sit here." Qiu Ye pointed to the seat opposite, "Dean, why are you alone, where is Boss Jin?"

The movements of Zhu Xifeng's hands paused, and he coughed: "He's still sleeping."

"Hey, doesn't he always get up early?" Qiu Ye wondered.

Zhu Xifeng gave him a sideways look, and packed the extra copy early.

Qiuye lowered her head to drink the milk, the corners of her mouth curled up.

"I said don't pretend to be in front of me, I won't accept your trick." Zhu Xifeng saw through Qiuye's pretentiousness at a glance.

With a puff, Akiba sprayed the milk on the table.

"No, I was just thinking that with the help of the two of you, there will be great progress in the study of semi-demonized humans." Qiu Ye refused to admit it, and suddenly waved at the door, "Feng Qi, this way."

Before dawn today, Feng Qi and Yuan Da went to train the soldiers. Time was limited, so he had to adapt the soldiers as quickly as possible.

The two sat together with breakfast, Feng Qi was next to the autumn leaves, picked up the eggs in the autumn leaves bowl and helped him peel them.

Zhu Xifeng casually glanced at the people around him, but instantly jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and looked at Yuan Da in astonishment.

A few seconds later, he said in a daze, "General Yuan Tian?"

Yuan Da picked up a steamed stuffed bun, squinted his eyes and looked at him for a while: "Oh, I recognize you, Dean Zhu Xifeng, right? It's a pleasure to meet you."

Zhu Xifeng ignored his greetings and stared straight at Yuan Da's face: "Is it really you? Are you alive?"

Every time he met a person from the Solomon Empire, he would ask him this question again. Yuan Da was almost annoyed by the question, and casually said vaguely with a bun in his mouth: "Yes, life is not dead."

Zhu Xifeng's face darkened: "Do you still remember Zhuo Fan?"

Yuan Dazui let go, and the bun fell down.

Qiu Ye looked at the two of them suspiciously, not knowing why the atmosphere suddenly became tense and weird.

This time I was really puzzled.

Yuan Da picked up the bun that fell on his trousers, patted his trousers, and took a bite of the bun. Although he looked calm, the little finger of his left hand trembled uncontrollably.He smiled stiffly: "You know him?"
