Chapter 168
So just as Liu Qingqing finished her meal and went home to go to the Meta World for training, she received a communication from her cheap master.
I have to say that Liu Qingqing was actually quite surprised. After all, ever since she showed her extraordinary ability in alchemy, her master "Cang Ye" has become less and less noticeable.
He spent most of his time with her chatting and gossiping, rarely looking for her specifically. Liu Qingqing could sense that he had actually given up on high-standard training for himself.
Liu Qingqing was actually quite happy at first. It was the best thing that Cangye could figure it out! She still respected this master quite a bit, so it would be even better if he figured it out himself.
However, this time "Cang Ye" suddenly sent her a message asking to meet her. Although Liu Qingqing was surprised, she went over obediently.
As soon as she walked over, Liu Qingqing saw the slightly melancholy face of "Cang Ye". This expression really made it hard for Liu Qingqing to imagine that it would appear on the face of her master "Cang Ye". It was too rare!
So Liu Qingqing obediently went over to ask "Cang Ye":
"Master, what's the matter with calling me here today?"
Although "Cang Ye" looked haggard, Liu Qingqing keenly noticed that there was a hint of guilt hidden on "Cang Ye"'s face.
What? Did Master Cangye do something to offend her?
Feng Ze didn't know how to start. After all, this was his apprentice who had grown up under his watch, so he had a very deep affection for her. However, now that he had damaged her interests, his eyes inevitably evaded her.
But a short pain is worse than a long pain, Feng Ze still said it bluntly:
"Qingchen, that's the one...um...I found a junior sister for you."
Junior sister? What's going on? And how did a junior sister suddenly appear?
Feng Ze also noticed the confusion on Liu Qingqing's face, so he continued to explain:
"I saw a girl with a very high talent for potion, so I begged Yao Lao to take her as his apprentice, and Yao Lao agreed."
As if he was worried that Liu Qingqing would be angry with him, he quickly said:
"Don't worry, she definitely can't compare to your status in Yao Lao and I's eyes. It's just that the number of outstanding talents in the Alliance is decreasing, and there is a clear gap between us and the Empire, so I have to train more talents.
Yao Lao is the best potion maker I know, so I had no choice but to ask him for help. "Qingchen, you understand Master, right?"
Liu Qingqing frowned and pursed her lips. To be honest, she didn't want an extra junior sister. It was too troublesome!
It would be fine if they got along well, but if they didn't, conflicts would be inevitable because of her unpleasant personality.
If a conflict did arise, it would be a headache for the two masters. Furthermore, people are inevitably biased. If resource allocation issues were involved, disputes would likely arise.
Given Liu Qingqing's personality, it is impossible for her to give away things that belong to her. And if the other party is allocated fewer resources than her, will she really be willing to do so?
It's troublesome no matter what...
Feng Ze also noticed the embarrassment and indecision of "Chenchen". He knew that this little disciple could not tolerate any sand in his eyes, but he had no choice now.
If possible, he didn't want the situation to develop to this point.
Feng Ze was a bit depressed. To be honest, he wasn't very good at socializing, but the environment he grew up in inevitably made him a bit chauvinistic. He knew it wasn't good, but he still had the habit of pointing fingers.
This time he was wrong after all.
Feng Ze looked at Liu Qingqing with a look of regret in his eyes, and said sincerely:
"Disciple, I am sorry for you this time. Please don't be angry with Master!"
Liu Qingqing was a little surprised. After all, they had been together for ten years, so she naturally knew what kind of temper Cangye had. Given his personality, this apology was indeed a bit difficult for him.
However, Liu Qingqing was used to thinking the worst of people. Was he suddenly apologizing to her now in order to make her accept that junior sister and force her to agree?
Feng Ze obviously noticed that his disciple's eyes were not right, so he continued:
"My apology this time is not to force you to accept that girl, but I know that I have some shortcomings, and I really hope you can forgive me.
Regardless of whether you accept her or not, or how you get along with her, I will always stand by you. Because to me, you are my apprentice since childhood, and she is the talent I have chosen as a reserve for the alliance. You two are completely different!"
Liu Qingqing had no reason to refute what Cangye said. She felt quite uncomfortable. She always felt it was strange for a master to apologize to his disciple...
But she shook her head, trying to ignore the awkwardness in her heart. Then Liu Qingqing spoke:
"Okay, I understand."
Feng Ze was overjoyed when he heard "Chenchen" say this. He didn't expect "Chenchen" to really agree to him so easily. In his eyes, it was good enough for "Chenchen" not to get angry with him!
However, he was naturally happy to see such a result. If he could appease as many people as possible, it would be a good thing. The next step was to ask "Chenchen" to comfort "Yao Lao".
The problem still needs to be solved from the root. As long as Liu Qingqing herself doesn't mind, then "Medicine Master" probably won't bother with him too much.
"Um...apprentice, there's just...one more thing I need your help with!"
Liu Qingqing's expression was a little confused, and her face seemed to have a few big words printed on it: Why are you so troublesome?
Feng Ze was a little embarrassed, but business was more important.
"It's just... I angered Yao Lao because of this matter. He must be very angry now, so I hope you can go and comfort him."
In fact, in Feng Ze's eyes, it is more important for Mi Kun to stop being so angry. After all, Mi Kun is almost 300 years old, and being angry often is not good for his health. Of course, if possible, he still hopes that Mi Kun can forgive him!
Liu Qingqing nodded, indicating that he understood. That's it, isn't it? It's very simple! Old naughty boys like "Yao Lao" are actually very easy to coax.
So Liu Qingqing also agreed. If possible, she didn't want "Yao Lao" to be angry. Similarly, she didn't want "Yao Lao" and "Cang Ye" to fall out.
To use an inappropriate description: the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh, they are both masters, and they are both very important in Liu Qingqing's mind.
Feng Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief after he finished explaining the matter. It was great that the matter was finally resolved.
He felt a little hot in his heart as he looked at Liu Qingqing's face in front of him. His own disciple was still the best. He was nothing like that Liu Qingqing who would give him a headache all day long.
After the two of them finished discussing the matter, Liu Qingqing was about to leave to find "Medicine Master", but before she left, she thought of something and asked casually:
"By the way, Master, what's the name of the junior sister you found for me?"
Liu Qingqing originally wanted to know the Metaverse ID of the so-called "Junior Sister". After all, if she were asked to call "Junior Sister" all the time when chatting with "Yao Lao", she really couldn't bring herself to call her "Junior Sister".
Unexpectedly, she watched Feng Ze smile kindly and slowly utter the name. Many years later, Liu Qingqing still couldn't let it go and couldn't forget that scene.
She heard "Cang Ye" utter those three words:
"Liu Qingqing!"
