Chapter 29 Good Materials and Craftsmen (Thanks to the leader of Hejian_Shouhu)
Half an hour later.

In the corner of a milk tea shop on Tianmen University Commercial Street, Ji Jue looked at the ice in the cup that was almost melting, and at Wen Wen, who was standing across the table like a ghost about to ascend to heaven.

Ever since she came out of the office, she looked as if she was on fire, she looked as if she was floating when she walked, and her soul was about to fly to the empire.

In this short life, life bears too much unbearable embarrassment.

"Sister? Sister Wen? Are you okay?"

Ji Jue mustered up his courage and waved his hand in front of her eyes: "Don't scare me."

The main thing I'm not worried about is that something might happen to her. Even if Tianmen University was blown up, it would be impossible for her to be in trouble. The main thing I'm worried about is that if she can't get over it, she'll take me with her!
“…I want to die.”

Wen Wen lay on the table, as if she had finally reacted, her voice sounded like the wronged souls in the underworld crying, sobbing and complaining: "Why didn't you tell me, why didn't you say it!

Ahhhhh, I want to die! Please let me die..."

"I don't know either!"

Ji Jue felt innocent, and his head was buzzing: "You suddenly pointed at my professor and told me that she was a master of alchemy. I was also confused. She has taught me for two years, and I have never seen her wave her hand and the sky and the earth change color, or the sun and the moon lose their light. Otherwise, how could I hide it?"

Besides, you didn't give me the chance to stop you!
Of course, he didn't dare say the last sentence, in case Wen Wen got so embarrassed and angry that she pinched him to death.

Although she certainly wouldn't do that, but she's been so nice to you, how could you possibly provoke her?

He did not send Ji Jue and half of Tianmen University into the sky with one punch, thus destroying his dark history that he would regret for the rest of his life.

After drinking two liters of craft beer in one breath, Wen Wen finally recovered her breath. She folded her arms and looked at Ji Jue, who was shrinking his head. After confirming that he really didn't laugh at her, she finally didn't use the amnesiac technique to erase his memory.

Why is it that every time I meet a bastard like you, something weird always happens?
Is there something wrong with you?
Damn, I'm still so angry! I want Bang Bang to punch him twice!
I'll blow your head off!
She sighed and said quietly, "It's a good thing I didn't drag you into this quagmire of the Security Bureau, otherwise it would have become a problem now. All the luck you have accumulated in your life has been used up here, right?"

Ji Jue was still confused: "Ah?"

"Ye Xian, that's Ye Xian!

The youngest master in the Federation in decades, she received the red rating of Taiyi Ring when she was 24 years old. It is said that she is only one step away from the Grandmaster now. What do you think? "She looked at me with a squinting eye and said unhappily: "Anyway, you should be happy to hold on to this thick thigh."

"Even if you say so, I have no idea." Ji Jue smiled bitterly.

"Lawrence, do you remember?"

Wen Wen brought up an old friend that everyone is familiar with: "If Lawrence's medical attainments were replaced with alchemy... it would take him another 70 or 80 years to barely catch up with the footprints left by Professor Ye when he was 24 years old."

"So awesome?!" Ji Jue was speechless.

Who would have thought that Professor Ye, who usually kept quiet, was actually a super Lawrence-level expert like Wen Wen in private? !

It's really scary!
Wen Wen rolled her eyes. She knew what he was thinking even with her heels: "Destructive power is another matter. Although the Way of Embers doesn't have much lethality, people like Professor Ye are more respected wherever they go than people like me who do rough work."

"I also respect Sister Wen, from the bottom of my heart!" Ji Jue was shocked. Without thinking, he wanted to tie a piece of cloth on his forehead with "loyalty! sincerity!" written on it.

"Okay, stop flattering me. I've really embarrassed myself this time. If you really respect me, just don't tell others about it. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to kill you and run away to the Empire to make a living."

Wen Wen sighed and glanced at him: “Master Ye is reliable, don’t worry.”

Ji Jue nodded.

This kind of thing is, of course, natural.

He stayed with Professor Ye much longer than Wen Wen.

To be fair, Professor Ye is not the kind of good man in the books who is afraid of hurting the lives of ants when sweeping the floor, or who is careful to protect moths from flying around the lamplight. On the contrary, on the first day of contact, he felt... the undisguised indifference, harshness, arrogance, and even the absolute non-existence of empathy.

In her world, there is no air for idiots to breathe.

What’s even more regrettable is that, in her opinion, most people in this world are idiots.

As for Ji Jue?

He is the one among so many idiots who is willing to work hard to make himself less stupid.

As the only one who managed to persevere and get a passing score in her elective course, he had a deep understanding of the rigor of it.

However, for Ji Jue, almost all of the above are advantages.

A teacher who will hold his nose and revise all the stuff you wrote, give revision suggestions, reference books and directions, no matter how strict, how bad-tempered, how contemptuous he is, or how many demands he has, is a good teacher worthy of being sent to the temple to have a golden statue.

As long as you can keep up with the progress, she will tell you everything she knows.

As long as you have talent, she will not hesitate to use it, no matter how big or small it is, she will make full use of it.

Otherwise, there are only a few vacancies for Tianmen to take the second-level engineer exam every year. How can Ji Jue compete with those chosen ones whose families have power, status and are extremely rich?
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Professor Ye's letter of recommendation, he wouldn't be able to catch up even if he sold his ass!

As a price, he was called a dog and a struggler, and was isolated and ridiculed by his so-called classmates. Ji Jue really didn't feel anything at all, and he didn't care at all. I'm wandering in the ocean of knowledge, okay? Go and have fun!
click!
The brief chat ended with a crisp sound.

A clear crystal flower appeared in the beer glass next to Wen Wen's hand, and then quickly dissipated.

"Okay, I'm leaving first."

Wen Wen stood up and waved goodbye, "Now that you have found a great person, hold on tight. When you become a great master in the future, remember to take care of me." "So urgent?"

Ji Jue was stunned: "Where are you going?"

"It's been humid lately, and I feel a little irritated."

Wen Wen turned her head away, hiding her expression that could no longer be suppressed, and tried hard to maintain her demeanor and style: "Go find a few wanted criminals who are not open-minded, and talk to them about life and ideals."

Tell them that grandma misses them in the down below, and send them to talk to grandma!
So, go away with high spirits.

Turn embarrassment into motivation and add to the number of nameless graves outside Yacheng.

Half an hour later, Ji Jue, who had been lingering in the milk tea shop until he had finished every last drop of water, finally took small steps back to the office.

He gritted his teeth, pushed open the door, and forced out a warm, hearty, and innocent smile, like a Samoyed with kiss marks all over his face: "Professor, I'm back."

"Ah."

Behind the desk, the professor, who was making his second cup of strong tea, looked up at him, pointed at a chair and motioned him to sit down. Before he could sort out his thoughts, he asked abruptly, "The person who was recruited by the Chosen One last month, was it you?"

"……what?"

Ji Jue froze for a moment, subconsciously trying to cover it up, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded, "If there is no one else."

Now it was the professor's turn to be silent.

She lowered her head and stared at the tea leaves in the cup rising and falling in the boiling water until the dust settled. She seemed to be thinking about something, or just distracted.

After a long while, he let out a long sigh.

"You really did give me such a big surprise."

"Ah?" Ji Jue was at a loss.

"I originally said that I would wait for you to do hard labor for another two years, and then consider whether to introduce you to the Path of Ashes after seeing your situation when you start graduate school. Now it seems that there is no need to go through so much trouble..."

Professor Ye adjusted his glasses and said solemnly, "But before that, I want to tell you that a chosen one who can attract the nine supreme rulers will be sought after wherever he goes. There is no need to tie him to a tree like mine.

I know Miss Wen might tell you that I am very powerful and famous, but in fact, compared with the real giants, I am just a marginal figure doing research. Apart from teaching you to be a craftsman, there is no other future for you, and even your matrix is ​​not complete.

And as long as you are willing, those old guys from the Security Bureau, the Grandmaster of Taiyi Ring, the leaders of Huangji, and even the Chongguang Church, Huanyu Heavy Industry, and Hope Hospital will all offer sky-high prices. In another four or five years, maybe there will be another Su Biluo, or another Wen Wen..."

"No, Professor!"

Ji Jue was so scared that he shook his head: "I haven't even taken the Level 2 exam yet! Where are you asking me to go?"

It's not that he was in a hurry to show his loyalty or curry favor with someone powerful. It's simply that after Ji Jue knew Professor Ye's identity, he never considered any other options.

Let’s not talk about the Security Bureau, which is a place that Sister Wen herself said is a quagmire. Other places may be very cool, powerful, and awesome, but so what?

When I was penniless and unknown, did they ever even look at me?
Isn't it the professor in front of you who is willing to lend a hand to a poor student who has nothing to offer except the ability to write?
"I think it's fine here with you." Ji Jue scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "At least, if I were asked to call someone else teacher, I wouldn't be able to open my mouth."

"..."

Professor Ye didn't say anything, just drank his tea, not moved at all, and didn't look at me differently. But when he exhaled, he seemed to sigh:
“That’s why it’s troublesome.”

"what?"

Ji Jue was confused.

"Don't feel bad if a cheap wrench breaks, Ji Jue. Sometimes, it's easier to use the leftovers."

The slightly aged alchemist rubbed his brows and said slowly, "I originally thought that you were just a mediocre person who could work hard, so it would be no burden for me to arrange the food for you. Anyway, no matter how bad it is, it is better than before.

But after I realized that I had made a mistake, I began to regret it... I haven't touched a piece of heavenly material for many years."

It's like an old craftsman examining the raw materials.

If it were a piece of stubborn stone, it would be damaged, carved, or broken if you carve it at will. It would be useless and could be thrown away. Even if it was completed, it would just be a decoration. There would be no achievement and no regret.

But if someone wrapped a raw stone in red silk, handed it to her with great care, and told her that there was a piece of beautiful jade inside the stone, which was peerless and beautiful, and asked her to carve it.

Which craftsman doesn’t worry about gains and losses?
"Don't worry, I'm just reflecting on myself. I haven't fallen to the point of sending my project to others."

Just when Ji Jue was feeling uneasy, Ye Xian put down his teacup, and finally stood up and said, "The Twelve Great Virtues each have their drawbacks, but the Path of Embers is the most troublesome. Once you step into this path, no one can tell whether it is good or bad.

But since destiny has placed you under my nose from the beginning, let's see if you can become a work of heaven!"

For a moment, Ji Jue froze, and subconsciously, he felt cold all over.

All along, he felt that he had long been accustomed to Professor Ye's harshness and criticism, and could solve even the most troublesome tasks step by step. Brave Ji Jue was not afraid of difficulties.

It was not until just now that he realized that the cold light cast upon him by the pair of thick lenses was sharper than that of an axe.

tell him,
The real training has not even begun!
