Chapter 246: Master and Disciple Failed Together (1/2)

Chapter 246 Master and Disciple Failed

"Liu Ling? Is he Gu He's disciple?!"

"I heard that he became a third-grade alchemist at such a young age. That's incredible."

"Although Princess Yaoyue is better. Princess Yaoyue is only thirteen years old this year and is also a third-grade alchemist."

"Wait, that Xiao Yan is also standing on the high platform with Liu Ling and Princess Yaoyue. Is he also a third-grade alchemist?"

"No way, are all third-grade alchemists so young now?"

Looking at the three people gathered on the high platform in the center of the venue, the audience couldn't help but start to discuss.

Xiao Yixian in the exclusive audience seat of the Nalan family naturally heard the audience's discussion, turned her head and looked at Nalan Yanran and asked in confusion.

"Do you know him?"

Nalan Yanran's face was a little unhappy at this time, and she waved her hand lightly in response.

"He is the disciple of Elder Gu He. He has been pursuing me since we met. I have clearly rejected him, but he still keeps pestering me. It's enough."

"Oh~~~Is that so." Xiao Yixian nodded suddenly, and then chuckled: "I think he is quite handsome, and he is also a disciple of Gu He. This status is definitely enough for you. Why don't you just accept it?"

Xiao Yixian's words were of course a bit of a squeeze, and she didn't think Nalan Yanran would accept her joking proposal.

But she didn't expect Nalan Yanran to not directly reject it, but asked her back.

"Then can you like him?"

"."

This question made Xiao Yixian stumped, and her eyes couldn't help but cast towards Liu Ling on the high platform.

In terms of appearance, he is indeed much more handsome than Xiao Yan, and his behavior is also very elegant. It can be seen that he has received a good education.

However, her personality is very different from Xiao Yan's just from her appearance. She is the kind of person who likes to show off and is very good at showing off. This is the opposite of Xiao Yan.

In short, Xiao Yixian has no interest in Liu Ling at all, let alone a good or bad impression.

At this time, Nalan Yanran folded her arms and spoke.

"I don't like him for the same reason as you do. Do you have anything else to say?"

"."

Xiao Yixian was silent.

On the high platform in the venue, Xiao Yan, who was shaking hands with Liu Ling, looked at him blankly, his head a little confused.

Little Foodie's pursuer?

Xiao Yan came back to his senses and understood.

No wonder the look at me was so hostile, because I am Little Foodie's fiancé.

Immediately, Xiao Yan smiled and let go of his hand. He did not respond to Nalan Yanran's matter, but focused on Liu Ling's teacher.

"I have received great kindness from Senior Gu He before, and I have been looking for an opportunity to repay him. May I ask if Senior Gu He is here?"

"Uh"

Xiao Yan's answer made Liu Ling, who was full of hostility, suddenly stunned.

Isn't it obvious that I am here to challenge you? Isn't my attitude obvious enough? You just skipped it?

Although he was so confused in his heart, Liu Ling was after all well-mannered. He was caught off guard by the other party when he was obviously ignoring him, and he looked like a frustrated person.

"The teacher is busy with affairs and has no time to watch the game, so the thank you should wait until next time."

After speaking, Liu Ling turned and walked towards the last stone table. At this time, Xiao Yan suddenly spoke.

"About Miss Nalan."

Liu Ling's footsteps could not help but pause, and he looked at Xiao Yan slightly, listening to his next words.

"After all, Miss Nalan and I are just engaged, and I shouldn't restrict her right to choose freely in the name of her fiancé." Xiao Yan spread out one hand slightly and said lightly: "Just please don't do anything radical when pursuing Miss Nalan, after all, she and I are still engaged. If there is any bad news, you and I can ignore it, but Miss Nalan's reputation may be damaged. Please act carefully."

Xiao Yan's words made Liu Ling stunned, and her whole head was a little confused by Xiao Yan's words.

I. I am pursuing your fiancée? Do you really have no hostility?

"Don't you hate me? I am pursuing Miss Nalan."

Liu Ling couldn't help asking, and Xiao Yan responded with a chuckle.

“要说没有敌意是不可能的，毕竟纳兰小姐是我的初恋，更是我的未婚妻，我有敌意才是正常的事情。”萧炎顿了顿，接着道：“不过纳兰小姐可是很优秀的女孩子，追求优秀之人是人之常情，莫非柳兄觉得，我将每个追求纳兰小姐的人看作是敌人，不让任何年轻男子接近她才是应该的？”

“.”

萧炎这句话，说的柳翎是无言以对。

说实话，帝都内追求纳兰嫣然的人绝对不在少数，天资优越，容貌上乘，家世卓越，凭什么没有人追求？

这还是在纳兰嫣然有婚约的情况下，若是没有婚约，怕是追求纳兰嫣然的人能在帝都绕三圈了。

他柳翎也不过是这些追求者中，最为突出的一个罢了。

这种情况下萧炎若是真将那些纳兰嫣然的追求者当作是敌人，那怕是整个帝都内的大半年轻人都得被萧炎挨个揍一遍。

在柳翎心底如此想时，萧炎接着道。

"Everyone should have their own identity, and Miss Nalan is no exception. She does not belong to anyone, and of course she is not mine. Even if I have a marriage contract with her, her life should be decided by herself. I have nothing to do with it. right to interfere.”

"After my three-year appointment with Miss Nalan, if Miss Nalan does meet another person who agrees with her and is worthy of trust, I will bless her from the bottom of my heart and wish her a good relationship."

Xiao Yan said this.

Although Xiao Yan has no plans to marry Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yan does treat Nalan Yanran as a friend. If his friend can be happy, Xiao Yan will naturally be very happy.

If Xiao Yan really wanted to marry Nalan Yanran, he would definitely spare no effort to pursue her when the identity gap between the two parties was not big. However, no matter how much effort he made towards Nalan Yanran during this period, Xiao Yan She would never think that Nalan Yanran should marry her because of her efforts.

Because of one's own initiative, to coerce the wishes of others is fundamentally the same as preying on the weak, and is what Xiao Yan hates the most.

After hearing what Xiao Yan said, not only Liu Ling, but also Yaoyue was stunned.

Is this person a little too calm?

Everyone is selfish when it comes to feelings.

This is not wrong, this is what it should be. Who doesn’t want to monopolize the one he loves?

In this mentality, it is almost inevitable to ignore the other party's wishes.

Even deep down in my heart, I don’t want the other party to have the right to choose.

But Yaoyue and Liu Ling never expected that Xiao Yan's thoughts would appear.

The two of them could tell that Xiao Yan was not a coward.

He is simply pure and respects the rights due to those he pursues.

Compared with Xiao Yan, Liu Ling suddenly felt that her own humanity seemed to be much inferior.

What's this frustration about? Why do I suddenly feel like I'm not worthy of Nalan Yanran?

".Competition, come on."

Liu Ling thought for a long time, and finally said this, and walked towards his stone table in a daze.

Yaoyue looked at Xiao Yan with deep surprise in her eyes.

At this time, she felt more and more that her sister had really good taste.

In the audience, Jia Xingtian looked at the high platform in the center of the venue and frowned slightly. "Really, I didn't expect it." Jiaxingtian turned his head slightly and glanced at the man walking slowly behind him, "I thought you wouldn't attend such an event."

The person who came was none other than the most famous alchemist in the Gama Empire, Alchemy King Furukawa!

"Haha~ What did Jia Lao say?" Furukawa bowed respectfully to Jia Xingtian, then straightened up and pushed up his glasses, "After all, my disciples have come to participate in the competition. As a teacher, it is normal for me to attend. Bar?"

"Hmph~~~That's true."

Jia Xingtian shrugged lightly, then frowned and looked at the high platform again.

Haibodong, who was sitting on the sofa and chewing an apple, stared at Furukawa and asked in a deep voice.

"Furuhe, has the Yunlan Sect looked for you recently?"

"Of course, during this period, Yunlan Sect sent people to deliver letters to me almost every day, even though I didn't reply to any of them." Furukawa smiled slightly and looked at Jiaxingtian, "Do I need to show you the content of the letter? ?”

"No need, I know what those letters are probably about even without reading them."

Jia Xingtian waved his hand lightly and responded in a low voice. This move was also silent, expressing his trust in Furukawa.

As for the letters that the Yunlan Sect handed over to Furukawa, they simply hoped that Furukawa could support the Yunlan Sect as much as possible, and they must have promised quite generous rewards.

When Furukawa heard Jia Xingtian's response, he frowned slightly, and the lenses reflected light, making it difficult to see his eyes.

"Jia Lao, aren't you worried that I, Furukawa, secretly join the Yunlan Sect for selfish reasons?"

"If it were before, I would definitely be suspicious."

In response to Furukawa's question, Jia Xingtian immediately answered, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"They may even imprison you or even kill you."

Hearing Jia Xingtian's words, Furukawa was stunned for a moment, then chuckled.

"This is really scary~"

Later, Jia Xingtian continued.

"But at the end of the Snake Tribe incident, you took the initiative to offer up the elixir just to save Xiao Yan, which made me dispel my doubts about you."

"Although I don't know what the elixir is, it must be a very expensive thing, but you can voluntarily hand it over just to save Xiao Yan, a person who has nothing to do with you."

"From this matter, I know that you know right from wrong and know right from wrong better than the people of Yunlan Sect. You will definitely not help them."

After listening to Jia Xingtian's words, Furukawa was silent for a long time, and finally showed a bitter smile with a little helplessness.

"Jia Lao, you are looking down on me a little." Gu He came to Jia Xingtian's side, caressing the railing with one hand, and looked at Xiao Yan on the stage, "The reason why I took the initiative to donate the Blood Lotus Pill at that time was I just want to confirm with my own eyes what kind of person Xiao Yan is, that’s all.”

As Furukawa said this, the pupils behind his lenses shone with a little light.

If it were anyone else, Furukawa would have the energy to fight.

But facing Xiao Yan, Furukawa really gave up completely.

It has nothing to do with talent or hard work.

Even if he spends his whole life, he will never become a person like Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan is unique.

What I can do now is just to try my best and not be too far from Xiao Yan.

"Ha, I'm thinking of sad things again." Gu He smiled helplessly, then his face became serious, and he looked at Jia Xingtian sideways, "Jia Lao, the main purpose of my coming here is that someone asked me to bring you a message."

"Oh?"

Jia Xingtian frowned and turned his eyes to Gu He. Listening to his next retelling, Hai Bodong, who was sitting on the sofa and eating an apple, also listened solemnly.

After a while, when Gu He's voice fell, Jia Xingtian suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha! You can actually think of this method. Sure enough, the future belongs to you young people."

After laughing, Jia Xingtian turned his head to look at Hai Bodong. Before he could speak, Hai Bodong waved his hand lightly.

"Don't worry, I didn't hear anything and I don't know anything."

Then, Gu He turned to face Jia Xingtian and said softly.

"Then, Master Jia, I will go to reply to Yunlan Sect now. I will leave my disciple to you first. Try not to let him be implicated."

"Huh? Leaving now?" Jia Xingtian pointed to the high platform, "This is your disciple's competition. You won't leave until you finish watching it?"

"No, whether I am here or not, it has nothing to do with the result of his competition. What's more, I have more things to do now."

Gu He waved his hand lightly, turned around and walked away slowly. No one noticed that he, the Dan King of Jia Ma Empire, had been here.

Hai Bodong, who was sitting on the sofa, glanced at Gu He who was leaving, threw the apple core in his hand on the ground, looked at Jia Xingtian with purple eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a little sarcasm in his eyes.

"You are the guardian of the royal family, but you are not as smart as the young people."

Jia Xingtian was not angry about this, but admitted it openly.

"That's right, I am indeed old." Jia Xingtian said, tapping the railing lightly, "When this matter is over, I will officially announce my abdication, and Ye'er will take over the Gama Empire."

"Without this old stubborn man like me, the Gama Empire will definitely become better under Ye'er's leadership."

Jia Xingtian's words made Hai Bodong curl his lips slightly, and he took another apple from the table beside him, opened his mouth and took a bite, chewing and talking.

"Are you planning to abdicate now? Isn't it too early for that child to be the queen?"

"Not too early, not too early, I was about the same age as her when I succeeded to the throne." Jia Xingtian grinned, "Or at that time, just invite Xiao Jing to be the imperial teacher. He can handle the affairs of the snake people that have troubled the Gama Empire for hundreds of years to that extent, and he is definitely more than enough to be Ye'er's teacher."

"But these are all things for later."

Jia Xingtian's eyes were cast on the high platform in the venue.

"Now just be good and watch the game."

When I wrote this chapter, I was worried that it would be toxic, for fear that everyone would think that I was giving my daughter away. I revised it many times, and I can be regarded as using Xiao Yan's mouth to explain my own view of love.

In my opinion, the most important thing for a relationship is only two words, respect.

In short, what I think is that the person I pursue has no reason to accept my feelings.

For me, feelings are self-giving. If you think from the beginning that the other party must respond to your feelings, it can only be regarded as a transaction.

Of course, some people may say that some men or women keep people hanging, accept a lot of material money, but only treat the other party as a spare tire, and never intend to respond to the other party's feelings.

For this kind of man or woman, I can only say that I will not pursue this kind of person from the beginning, because this kind of person and I have different values. When I find that the other party does not give me enough respect during the pursuit, I will withdraw immediately without any nostalgia.

I have seen too many people around me who always treat the object as private property and deprive the other party of freedom as much as possible. This is a behavior that I am very disgusted with.

Of course, respect is mutual. It doesn't mean that you only need to respect the other person, but also need the other person to respect you. This is a normal relationship in my opinion.

The following is my personal advice, readers can listen to it or not.

[When you are in love, please give the other person respect as much as possible. ]

[But if you find that the other person does not give you enough respect during this period, I personally recommend that you cut it off. ]

Finally, please rest assured that Nalan Yanran is the number one persecution target and can't escape (laugh)
