Chapter 63: Meeting in the Sun (Part II)
The thoughts that were circling in Bai Quartz's mind before had proved that even if he was indeed a walker who walked in the dark, this fact would not prevent him from separating work and life to the extreme, so when the middle-aged man in front of him mentioned the right thing, when he turned around, there was no superfluous emotion in his eyes, just blindly calm and steady.
"Yes. β
After a pause, Bai Quartz then introduced: "Xia Kucao, the Forbidden Seal Master, the first-year freshman of the Jifen Wang Li Seal Master Academy, because he killed Bai Alum, he is in some trouble. β
Maybe it was his third brother mentioned in his words, and when he said the second half of the sentence, the corners of Bai Quartz's mouth twitched slightly, and there was a little indescribable taste.
The middle-aged man lowered his head and waited for a moment, then his eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "Is this the end?"
Bai Quartz was silent for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly smiled, and there was a trace of extremely strange emotions hidden in his smile.
Then he stared into the eyes of the middle-aged man and said something very seriously.
"I'm a very good person. β
"So even if I'm not in the industry for a long time, I don't think there will be anyone else in the world...... Can be more professional than I am. β
"But I must admit that in the ten days since I became acquainted with Prunella, I have tried my best to find out his past, but I really can't find anything more than the above. β
"So in the very beginning, I naturally thought with great horror that Prunella was ...... It's a darkwalker who is more professional than me. β
But I immediately disproved that perception. β
White Quartz touched his chin, a habit he did when he was lost in thought, and continued, "But the reason why I overturn this assumption is not because of my pride and reluctance to admit it. β
"But there is no such thing as a dark walker in the world...... Will clean up his way so clean, as if it just appeared out of thin air. β
"Because this kind of background seems to be perfect, but too perfect is itself the greatest imperfection. β
"So I'd rather believe - Prunella vulgaris...... It is indeed a character who appeared out of thin air. β
Speaking of this, Bai Quartz glanced at the man in front of him and solemnly emphasized: "An 'ordinary person' who appeared out of thin air. β
"And I know that the organization will never accept people of unknown origin, but I also know that," Bai Quartz smiled slightly, laughing at himself, "but I also know that because of my existence, this convention is not unbreakable." β
"Because I don't know my history, I, as a blue-blooded nobleman, or a blue-blooded nobleman of the Bai clan who are extremely close to the Holy See, are even more difficult to be accepted by the organization. β
"But since you can recommend me to join the organization, I think that one more prunella grass is nothing. β
Speaking of which, Bai Quartz remembered that after last night's dinner, Xia Kucao had secretly found him, and proudly told him that he had obtained the so-called 'dormitory use rights' for himself, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
So he reciprocated with today's recommendation, and finally said this.
"If you need a teacher, you still need a reason why I recommend him. β
"Then I can tell you that the reason I recommend him is that he is my friend, a true friend. β
"And I believe that he will be my like-minded friend. β
Maybe it was Bai Quartz's words that played a role, the middle-aged man didn't speak for a while, but just looked at his best student in front of him with some complexity, and as the other party's teacher, he was one of the people who knew him the most in this world, so he understood that the reason why Bai Quartz was able to distinguish work and life so openly was not that the other party was really professional to a certain extent, but that Bai Quartz ...... Since four years ago, I have begun to look at everything very indifferently.
But this is such a person, and now he is extremely serious about saying the word 'friend', so he ...... But what was the original intention at the time?
Thinking of this, his tone was extraordinarily stern.
"From the moment you are willing to join the organization, you should know that you are not qualified to have friends, and you cannot have friends!"
"And even if he's your friend, that's not a reason for you to recommend him to the Order, thenβ"
The middle-aged man didn't ask the 'why', because he was one of the people in the world who knew the most about white quartz, so in the blink of an eye, he guessed the answer.
"You see him as yourself. The middle-aged man said with some incomprehension: "A self who walks on the opposite path." β
White Quartz was silent.
Like this middle-aged man, he is an extremely good dark walker, so he is a natural skeptic, and he doesn't believe that there will be any love and hate in the world for no reason, so the friendship between him and Prunella grass will not really be an inexplicable friendship as Prunella Cao thinks.
Among them, there are reasons of their own.
And at this moment, the middle-aged man is slowly saying this reason-
"Four years ago, you were in a very similar situation to the prunella grass you are now. β
"But you're so much calmer than him, so you don't have the option to fight that huge pressure. β
"But after that, you...... You lost her, and in remorse and hatred, you went down the dark path. β
"So you now see Prunella as another self, a self that has withstood that pressure and walked towards the light. β
"It's just that I don't think you're a person who would be jealous of Prunella Grass's path to the light, so I'm curious why you're ...... Are you going to drag him into the dark?"
The middle-aged man's sentence seemed to be a question sentence, but just like he could see Bai Quartz's mind in the blink of an eye before, he quickly found the answer again, and changed this question sentence to a question sentence.
"Because you're worried that he, the bright, might become a roadblock to our careers, and you'll have to be hostile to him then?"
"You don't want to see that, so you can't wait to make him your fellow traveler. β
White Quartz remained silent.
So the middle-aged man knew that he had guessed correctly.
But the question is-
"I'm afraid you're not the only one who wants to turn him into a fellow traveler in the future. The middle-aged man thought of a certain figure that had just jumped into the room, and said with a sigh: "Even if his identity as a forbidden canon sealer will inevitably be a thorn in the eye of the Holy See, a thorn in the flesh, but just as you can be absorbed into the organization, he can also be absorbed into the Holy See." β
Bai Quartz could understand what the middle-aged man meant, so he said very directly and deservedly: "Su Hexiang, I will deal with it." β
Bai Quartz's words were full of coldness from beginning to end, and as his teacher, the middle-aged man knew how cold and bloody he was hiding under his extremely beautiful and graceful appearance, but when it came to friendship and even love, he didn't think that Bai Quartz's thoughts were the most reasonable choice, and although he and Bai Quartz were only teachers and students, and engaged in extremely dark work, this did not mean that he would want his best student to fall deeper and deeper because of this.
After all, people who are trapped in darkness also have the power to yearn for the light and embrace the sun.
-- And the cause to which they devote themselves also allows them to have some good thoughts.
So when he hesitated for a while, he asked with a little meaning: "If the prunella grass can't support it just now, will you just make a move like Su Hexiang?"
If the answer is yes, then what about how to deal with her...... There's more than one. β
Bai Quartz was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then he responded in a low voice: "Yes, teacher." β
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to take care of this. β
"As for now, we should talk about Hai Jinsha, and his ...... Forbidden!"
