Chapter 142 Mysterious Portrait (2)

"Do you know why I called you over?" Tong Yuexin asked softly in a cold voice.

"Could Teacher Tong plan to give me hush money? No, no, I'll just pretend I didn't see what happened tonight. About alchemy, it's familiar once and twice..." Bai Ye could only play charades.

Tong Yuexin took a sip of tea, raised her eyes to look at Bai Ye, and it was the first time that the two faced each other.

"Since you have witnessed my failure in alchemy with your own eyes, there is no need to hide anything. I am just short of someone to discuss with, and you have read books on this subject. Student Bai Luo, would you like to discuss it with me? ?”

Tong Yuexin put down the porcelain bowl, waiting for Bai Ye's answer.

But Bai Ye didn't want to reveal that he was an alchemist, seeing her say that, he couldn't pretend to be stupid anymore, so he smiled decently: "It's a great honor to be invited by you, but I only know a little about medicinal materials, maybe I can't help you, other tutors in the academy should be more experienced, why not..."

Tong Yuexin shook her head and said: "The biggest difference between Shengying and the other three courtyards is that there is no such profession as an alchemist, because private refining of pills is not allowed here, so I chose the abandoned courtyard at the north gate where no one set foot. practise."

Bai Ye was puzzled: "Alchemists have a high status, why did Shengying resist alchemists so much?"

Tong Yuexin got up, walked to the side study, stared at the side wall in a daze for a while, and then quietly said: "Because of him, my teacher."

Bai Ye walked to her side, followed her line of sight full of doubts, there was a painting on the wall, the person in the painting was exactly the same as the biggest golden statue she had seen in the arena before , but the portrait has been colored to make it appear more plump and three-dimensional, unique in the world, as if the person is right in front of your eyes.

"The golden statue I saw in the arena is also him, but who is he? And what does it have to do with Shengying's hatred of alchemists?"

Bai Ye continued to ask, in her impression, alchemist is a profession that is generally valued and respected.

Tong Yuexin stepped forward and carefully wiped off the dust on the surface of the portrait with her sleeve.

"He is the creator of Shengying's glorious 15 years. If it weren't for his influence back then, with Shengying's strength, it would have been out of the top four colleges as early as five years ago.

As far as I know, because of his unfathomable strength, not only has he endangered his status as an alchemist, but also because of the treasures in his hands that those people dream of.Finally, he was jointly persecuted by his familiar alchemist friends. He didn't know where he was going, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. Therefore, the last thing the old man in Shengying wanted to mention was the word alchemist, thinking that they were a group of vanity and hypocrisy. "

Bai Ye was even more puzzled: "Since Shengying doesn't allow it, why do you still want to make alchemy?"

"He once said that I have a very good talent for alchemy. In time, I will definitely become the best alchemist in the mainland. He is not a teacher who can praise others. This is the only time he praised me. It's a pity...I failed him expectations."

A trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes, and she looked down at her hands.

"Your hand..."

"During the group practice five years ago, I was injured by a monster in the Qiangba Mountains. Even this white hair is the masterpiece of that beast. I can no longer use my internal force to accurately control the fire, but I still don't want to give up. I hope one day When I see him again, he can be proud of me."

Tong Yuexin smiled lightly, as expected, as Bai Ye thought, her beautiful smile was overwhelming, her smile made people feel very warm, and she could temporarily forget all the unhappy things.
