"Do you know why I want to call you over?" Tong Yuexin asked softly in a cold voice.
"Is Teacher Tong going to pay me a hush money? No, I just pretended that I didn't see the matter of tonight. It's like refining alchemy, it's a bit mature again and again..." Bai Ye could only play the puzzle.
Tong Yuexin took a sip of tea and looked up at Bai Ye. The two of them looked face to face for the first time.
"Since you have witnessed my failure in alchemy, you don't need to cover up anything. I'm missing someone to discuss, and you have read this book, Bai Luo, would you like to discuss it with me?"
Tong Yuexin put down the porcelain bowl and waited for Bai Ye's answer.
But Bai Ye didn't want to reveal that he was an alchemist. Seeing her saying this, she couldn't pretend to be stupid anymore, so she smiled appropriately: "I'm very honored to be invited by you, but I just understood some knowledge of medicinal materials and may not help you. Other tutors in the college should be more experienced, so it's better..."
Tong Yuexin shook her head and said, "The biggest difference between Shengying and the other third academies is that there is no profession of alchemist. Because it is not allowed to refine pills privately, I chose the North Gate Abandoned Academy where no one stepped into practice."
Bai Ye wondered: "The alchemist has a high status, why did Shengying resist the alchemist so much?"
Tong Yuexin got up, walked to the study room beside her, looked at the wall on the side for a while, and then said quietly: "Because of him, my teacher."
Bai Ye walked to her side and looked at her gaze with confusion. A painting was hanging on the wall. The person in the painting was exactly the same as the largest golden statue she had seen in the arena before, but the portrait was colored and looked more plump and three-dimensional, unparalleled in the world, as if a person was right in front of her.
"The golden statue I saw in the arena is also him, but who is he? What does it have to do with Shengying's hatred of alchemists so much?"
Bai Ye continued to ask, in her impression, alchemists are generally valued and respected professions.
Tong Yuexin stepped forward and carefully wiped off the dust on the surface of the portrait with her sleeve.
"He was the creator of Shengying's 15 years of gloriousness. If it weren't for his influence back then, with Shengying's strength, he would have been no longer among the four major academies of Zhulu five years ago.
Unfortunately, his strength is unfathomable. His existence has endangered the status of an alchemist. He was finally killed by an alchemist and a traitor. He didn't know where to go, whether he was dead or alive. Therefore, the old man of Shengying's least wanted to mention the three words "alchemist", thinking that they are a vanity and hypocritical group."
Bai Ye was even more confused: "Since Shengying doesn't allow it, why do you still need to refine elixirs?"
"He once said that I have a good talent for alchemy. In time, I will definitely be the best alchemist on the mainland. He is not a teacher who can praise others. This is the only time he praises me. It's a pity... I failed his expectations."
A trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes, and she looked down at her hands.
"Your hand..."
"When I was in the collective training five years ago, I was injured by the monsters in the Qiangbao Mountains. Even this white hair was a masterpiece of the beast. I can no longer accurately control the fire with my internal strength, but I still don't want to give up. I hope that one day when I see him again, he will be proud of me."
Tong Yuexin smiled faintly, as Bai Ye thought, and her smile was fascinating to the whole country. Her smile made people feel very warm and she could temporarily forget all unhappy things.
