North of Kyoto City, Alchemist General Association, Jialiu Alchemy Room.

Burst!

The docile and peaceful flames in the Ding suddenly trembled for a moment, and then extinguished.

"Ahem, cough" Nie Yun got up from the black furnace smoke, and helplessly touched the jade talisman in his arms that was constantly flashing and was already slightly hot.

With a wisp of qi floating into the light point in the jade talisman, a female voice as crisp as a yellow bird came out with a trace of resentment.

"Nie Yun! Do you dare not return home at night? ”

Then the qi machine continued to spread to the next point of light, and a smart and playful voice also came out: "Hehe, Xiaoyunzi, you are miserable!" ”

"Not good!" Nie Yun subconsciously glanced at the pendulum in the corner, looked at the short and thick needle pendulum when he didn't know when it had passed, slapped his forehead suddenly, hurriedly put away the jade bottle all over the ground at will, and used the time between the seconds to ensure that he would definitely come back within half an hour through the transmission note, and hurriedly left the Jialiu Alchemy Room that ordinary alchemists dreamed of.

I usually have been alchemy in the university hall, and if I am fascinated by alchemy, I will naturally be called out by Li Fuzi before the time of the child, and I am used to it.

And this alchemist will always... Unless you're in arrears and out of time, no one cares about you.

Follow the spiral staircase all the way up, and soon you will be in the spacious hall again.

Because of the child's time, there were only a few figures in the hall where there were not many people, Nie Yun walked straight to a counter, and looked at the woman in Tsing Yi who was already asleep on her stomach in front of her, with a trace of helplessness in her eyes.

Although the elders of the Alchemy Association have the privilege of using the high-level alchemy room for free, the association has limited resources after all, so it is impossible for the elders to occupy the pit without, and they still have to return the key to the alchemy room when they are not in use.

"Shen Ling'er, Shen Ling'er!" Nie Yun stretched out a finger and lightly tapped her fragrant shoulder, while shouting softly.

Shen Ling'er shook her shoulders, her rosy lips curled slightly, and she slowly raised her head, but a pair of beautiful eyes did not open, and she waited for a long time before she narrowed a slit and said vaguely. "Who?"

"Me, Nie Yun." Nie Yun raised his voice slightly and continued, "Come and return the key to the Jialiu Alchemy Room." ”

"Oh~huh?" Shen Ling'er's palms rubbed her eyes stiffened, and then her eyes slowly widened, and the fog under her eyes quickly dissipated: "You finally came out." ”

"Uh... What are you waiting for me? Nie Yun handed over the key in his hand, keenly feeling that something was wrong.

Shen Ling'er took the key and put it aside, her rosy lips pursed slightly, and a pair of smart eyes seemed to have water waves flowing through, blinking: "Sir, Ling'er wants to worship you as a teacher." As he spoke, he bowed to Nie Yun Yingying, covering up the fleeting cunning, and seemed to be full of sincerity.

"I'll go!" Nie Yun dodged lightly before Shen Ling'er could completely bow down, and said in shock: "What are you doing!" ”

"Ling'er wants to apprentice." Shen Ling'er blinked, pointed to the dark red robe on Nie Yun's body, and said very naturally: "You are an elder, do I have a problem with me trying to learn alchemy?" ”

"What?! No, no, no, no. Nie Yun subconsciously waved his hand, and his voice was inexplicably panicked: "I'm still a student, teach a Mao apprentice, and your grandfather's alchemy level is higher than mine, why are you looking for me to learn, he wants to know that you want to learn alchemy, and he is probably very happy." ”

"Hey, I don't want to learn from grandpa." Shen Ling'er raised her head, revealing her snow-white slender neck and said, "The appearance of alchemy is old-fashioned, not chic at all. ”

Dashing... The corners of Nie Yun's mouth twitched slightly: "Anyway, you can't worship me as a teacher!" ”

Just kidding, I'm still so young, I'm going to be called a master? Senior sister is about to be called senior aunt? The master has to be called the master? Well, although he's about the same age ...

But no matter what, I will never be able to be this master.

I've refused like this, so you won't rely on me... Nie Yun said secretly in his heart, but then he was stunned again.

I saw that Shen Ling'er's smart eyes were instantly covered with a layer of mist, but when Nie Yun's eyes swept over, she lowered her head slightly, and her voice was also a little crying, and said pitifully: "Is Ling'er so annoying to Mr.?" ”

Holy, what the hell!! Nie Yun's eyes widened slightly, and his words became unfavorable: "No, it's not... I mean..."

"Woo~ I... I understand. Shen Ling'er covered her face, her fragrant shoulders trembled slightly and waved her hand: "Nie... Goodbye, Elder. ”

"I... It's mine... It means that such a major event as apprenticeship has to be agreed by your parents in person! Nie Yun breathed a deep sigh of relief, secretly praised his wit, and then showed a "helpless" smile and said, "It's not that I don't want to accept you!" ”

Hey, hey, Elder Shen Dan can let his granddaughter worship me as a teacher? It's not good to spread his own face... Hey, I'm so smart!

Shen Ling'er gradually stopped sobbing, but she still hid her face: "Really.. Really, my grandfather agreed to take me as an apprentice? ”

"Uh-huh! As soon as the words are spoken, it is difficult for the horses to chase," Nie Yun nodded his head quickly, and looked at Shen Ling'er, who was gradually calming down, and sighed slightly and said, "Then let's say it like this, I still have something to do, so I'll go first." ”

If it is late, it will change, if you don't leave at this time, when will you wait, Nie Yun said secretly in his heart, turned his head and quickly disappeared into the hall with big steps, and he almost didn't show the eight changes of the gods.

And the woman in Tsing Yi who hid her face in place secretly moved her jade finger away from a gap, and when she saw Nie Yun completely walking away, she put down her hands, the grievances in her eyes dissipated when she didn't know when, and the corners of her ruddy mouth slowly curved a little.

"Hmph~"

Nie Yun almost ran out of the hall, and only paused slightly when he stepped out of the curtain of light.

The two strong men I met in the afternoon were still standing in front of the gate of the Alchemist Association loyally, and when they heard the footsteps coming from behind them, they subconsciously looked towards the light curtain, and as soon as they raised their heads, they caught a glimpse of a dark red corner of their clothes, and then lowered their heads suddenly, and couldn't help but straighten their waists and said loudly:

"Hello Elder."

"Eh, it scared the hell out of me." Nie Yun patted his chest with palpitations, and then continued: "Huh? You two haven't gotten off work yet, have you? ”

"There is still an hour before a new group of brothers will take over." Listening to such a young and familiar voice, the two strong men frowned slightly, and secretly raised their heads to look at the "ear-born" elder as they spoke.

"I'm rubbing! How do you grow old! A strong man secretly looked at it for a long time, and then jumped up, pointing to the dark red robe on Nie Yun's body, and his mouth was wide open to stuff three eggs.

And the other strong man who was wandering in his heart also took two steps back sharply at this time, and then touched the handle of the knife on his waist and said in a deep voice: "Where did you kid steal the elder robe!" ”

"Speak quickly!" The other strong man also came back to his senses, and his right hand was also on the handle of the knife, they didn't believe that the guy who didn't even register as an alchemist in the afternoon would grow old when he came out at night, isn't this a trouble? If the elders were so easy to become, they would still guard the fart gate, grit their teeth, and use the savings they have saved over the years to learn alchemy.

Regardless of the fact that the elder's robe itself is very expensive, it symbolizes the face of the Alchemist Association, so it is reasonable that they need to investigate the origin of this robe.

"Uh... I said that after I registered as an alchemist in one night, I accepted the elder assessment by the way, do you believe it..."Nie Yun tried to explain, but he looked so pale, and after being looked at by the two strong men with foolish eyes for a moment, he said helplessly: "Okay, what should I verify this time... Oh, and come to think of it, I still have a token. ”

As Nie Yun spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his left hand pulled into the storage bag, so frightened that the two strong men brushed out the long knife on their waists.

"Don't be nervous..."Nie Yun took out the silver-white talisman engraved with the ancient medicine tripod in his hand and threw it casually and said, "Ah, this seems to prove my identity." ”

"I'll rub!"

The two strong men looked at the silver-white runes in their hands over and over again, and finally stared at Nie Yun carefully for a long time, then sighed violently, threw the runes back to Nie Yun casually, and walked into the hall of the Alchemist Association without looking back.

"Huh... You're not guarding the door? Nie Yun was slightly stunned and shouted.

"Gatekeeper?" The two strong men suddenly sneered: "Guard a fart, learn alchemy." ”

......

Nie Yun, who walked out of the alchemy hall, looked back at the alchemist who was still brightly lit, like an upside-down burning furnace, and breathed a deep sigh of relief, why did he feel so tired today... Then he turned his head and glanced at the night that was already dark, and his heart jumped suddenly.

After finishing the calf, he said that he would come back within half an hour, but he was dragged by Shen Ling'er and the two big brothers.... More than half an hour has passed.

And at this moment, the jade talisman in Nie Yun's arms was slightly hot again, Nie Yun had a bitter face, and a wisp of qi poured inward.

"If you don't want to come back, don't come back?"

In just a few words, Nie Yun's face instantly became a little more bitter, and he hurriedly quickened the pace under his feet and rushed all the way down the spacious Vermilion Bird Street.

......

Kyoto, Inner City, Karafu.

The main courtyard of the Tang family, which should be dark in Japan, was brightly lit at this time, and Tang Wanli, the head of the Tang family, looked at Tang Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground and "crying" that he was intercepted and killed, and his face was pale, while the Tang family's housewife on the side was wandering, looking like she had nothing to do with herself, but if you look closely, you can find that the knuckles holding the tea cup have been slightly white.

After taking a deep breath, Tang Wanli forcibly squeezed out a somewhat kind smile on his face, patted Tang Yuan's shoulder and said, "You go back first, my father will make the decision for you in this matter." ”

It wasn't until Tang Yuan turned around and his back completely disappeared from sight that he turned around suddenly, staring at the graceful and luxurious figure on the side, silently tasting tea, and his voice trembled a little: "You did this?" ”

"Yes and what!" The housewife of the Tang family suddenly slapped the tea cup in her hand on the table, and she didn't care about the tea stains splashed on the gorgeous dress, and the angry fireworks burning in her beautiful eyes made her beautiful face look a little distorted, and she cut her teeth: "This is lucky to run away and laugh at me, just forget it, if you don't help our son, forget it, now I'll do it myself, you still want to scold me?!" ”

"You... Stupid woman! Tang Wanli pointed at the Tang family's housewife, his fingers trembled slightly, and after a while, he suddenly put down his fingers and sighed: "If it's just that Yulongwei wants to exile Jingcheng through the normal process, it's not impossible for you to do this, it's just a big deal for the husband to be taken by Yulongwei." ”

Speaking of this, Tang Wanli's tone rose slightly: "But that is the exile of three thousand miles that His Majesty personally said!" It's a good thing you didn't make it, otherwise the Ichthyosaurus would have arrived at our doorstep. ”

"That looks similar to my son, plus the master I hired with a lot of money, it is enough to confuse the truth, plus because of the same lineage, it is easy to mix the bloodline test!" Xiumei, the mother of the Tang family, wrinkled, and said with slight disdain: "The fish dragon guard didn't have eyes in the sky, how could he be as godly as you said!" ”

"Stupid woman!" Tang Wanli saw that his wife still looked obsessed and waved his wide sleeve robe heavily, as a Dali Siqing, he almost knew the most about the bloody storm hidden in the shadows yesterday except for the fish dragon guard, and the more he knew, the more scared he became!

He knew better than anyone else the true power of the Ichthyosaurus.

Tang Wanli took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart: "I can tell you for sure now, now that your vain attempt to deceive the monarch has been placed on His Majesty's royal platform, the reason why you can still sit here and quarrel with me now is because you were lucky enough to let Tang Yuan run away!" ”

"That's... So what should I do? After all, it was a woman, and she couldn't help but panic when she heard her husband's categorical tone, and hurriedly asked.

"Eh, you go to see the queen mother tomorrow, first apologize to the mother for Jing Cheng's matter, and then honestly explain what you have done, and then... Leave it to fate. Tang Wanli looked at the dark night sky and sighed.

And tomorrow, he will personally ask His Majesty for his guilt.
