Chapter 24 Learning Potion
Mi Kun raised his chin slightly, which made the host seem a little arrogant.
"Well? Do you believe me?"
"Uh-huh."
Liu Qingqing nodded.
"Since you trust me, are you willing to be my apprentice? Don't worry, you won't lose money on this deal."
Mi Kun seemed to have anticipated Liu Qingqing's next answer, but Liu Qingqing just shook her head.
"No, I refuse."
"Since you agreed, then what should we do...what did you say? Say it again?"
Mi Kun's eyes widened in disbelief. How could this be possible? How could someone reject him after knowing his identity?
Liu Qingqing looked straight into his eyes, her eyes slightly narrowed and her smile was as cunning as a little fox.
"This isn't difficult. There's a saying on Ancient Blue Star: Life is precious, but love is even more precious. If it's for freedom, both can be abandoned."
Mi Kun didn't understand why the topic suddenly took a sharp turn here.
Then he heard Liu Qingqing continue to add:
"The reason is actually very simple. I don't like being bound by constraints. If I agree to become your apprentice now, my status will be greatly restricted, right?"
Mi Kun frowned, it was indeed the case.
In the interstellar world, the restrictions on master-disciple relationships are very strict, and some masters even hold a higher status than their fathers. This is also due to the natural law of the interstellar world: the strong are respected.
In their eyes, if that person can be your master, then it means that he is better than you, and he is equivalent to a strong person. And your father must not be able to compare with your master, otherwise there is no need to follow your master to learn.
Since he is a strong man and has the mission of teaching you, you must support him. Therefore, in some articles on the Star Network, people who abandon their parents may not receive much attention, but those who refuse to support their master will definitely be criticized by many people.
The most important point is that the master's position is implicitly assumed by the apprentice. Consequently, many apprentices in the Empire have been killed because of their masters' erroneous stances. Of course, some masters, whose apprentices were too firm in their stances, were perceived as acquiescing to their side, and ultimately suffered a less favorable outcome.
After all, the master and the disciple are of one mind, and they go and return together. 【Note】
Of course, everything has two sides. The rule in the interstellar world is to treat the strong well. If you become a stronger person than your master, then even if you do many things that betray your master later, you can be forgiven by the public. Of course, don't go too far.
Therefore, many people hate the idea that the strong are respected, but they have to survive in this world. This forms a vicious circle: you despise this rule but have to act according to it.
Mi Kun frowned. He was actually not that keen on taking in a disciple. The reason he wanted to take Liu Qingqing in as his disciple was simply because he wanted her to be responsible for his three meals a day.
As for the subsequent issues, he had not given much thought to them. After Liu Qingqing reminded him, he suddenly realized it. But even so, he still did not want to give up Liu Qingqing.
Originally, he wanted to give up Liu Qingqing's craftsmanship.
"What's fine? What's the best way?"
Mi Kun muttered to himself and kept walking around Liu Qingqing.
Suddenly, he clapped his hands and suddenly realized.
It would be fine if he just didn't accept any disciples. To him, disciple was just a title anyway.
He jumped up excitedly and said to Liu Qingqing:
"In that case, I won't accept you as my apprentice. You can follow me and audit my pharmacy classes, but you can't touch or use my potion ingredients. It's up to you how much you can earn and how much you can accept. As a reward, you still have to be responsible for my three meals a day."
Liu Qingqing raised her eyebrows. It seemed that it was very easy to lure him into the trap.
Yes, Liu Qingqing had never thought about being someone else's apprentice, because she knew that she would definitely not be an ordinary person in the future, and every person related to her was a cause and effect, but she did not want to bear too much cause and effect.
Liu Qingqing never liked to owe others anything. When others helped her, gave her something, or saved her, Liu Qingqing would feel that she was being bound. Therefore, when they were in trouble, she had to give something in return.
It's true that she could act as if nothing had happened and continue living her life, but she didn't want that.
Although she is cold-hearted, she cannot be heartless.
The constraints within Liu Qingqing's heart would continue to grow, magnifying to the point where she could no longer control them. She would also feel guilty and doubt herself. She would never admit that she was particularly strong, preferring to wrap herself up in a giant egg. If possible, she wouldn't want to be exposed to the outside world, but she couldn't. She had responsibilities.
These opposing thoughts constantly collided with each other in Liu Qingqing's mind, negating each other. She couldn't think too deeply, because once Liu Qingqing thought too deeply, she would doubt the meaning of her existence in the world.
This was the case in her previous life. She kept doubting the meaning of her existence in this world and then doubting herself. In the end, she couldn't figure out why she should live in this world and slowly became depressed.
Liu Qingqing lived in this world in a daze, and then when the end of the world came, she kept telling herself that the meaning of life was to protect humanity and strive to survive.
So she was not too afraid even if she died in the end, because she did it, she protected humanity, and she fulfilled her own meaning.
But for some reason, she came to this strange world again, and lost her own meaning. So she didn't want to put herself in that state of constant thinking again. It was too tiring!
To sum it up in one simple sentence: You can have fun, but don’t take it seriously. If you take it seriously, you will lose.
After some bargaining by Liu Qingqing, she agreed to follow Mi Kun to learn his pharmacy knowledge. Liu Qingqing provided Mi Kun with a big meal every week. Mi Kun did not provide Liu Qingqing with any materials, books, etc. Liu Qingqing had to rely on her own brain, memory or means for everything.
Liu Qingqing was also very interested. Isn't this what makes it fun? If everything is too simple, then there is no challenge at all.
Feng Ze on the other side.
"Marshal, the person you want us to find, we..."
Feng Ze felt a headache looking at the soldier who was hesitating in front of him.
Hiss, I still can’t find that “woman”.
Feng Ze opened his dark eyes, which were filled with emotions that the soldiers could not understand.
"Marshal... Marshal, I..."
"Alright, no need to say anything. I know there's basically no chance of finding it. Just go down and do your own thing."
Feng Ze waved his hand and asked the soldiers to go down first, while he was thinking about how to find the stone.
He secretly felt that the stone might be the opportunity to change the current situation of the alliance, but unfortunately...
Could it be that they were really sent by the Empire?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. After all, ordinary people couldn't heal his injuries, and no one could have such amazing skills and abilities.
Feng Ze punched the table next to him, but the table couldn't bear it and broke into pieces.
Damn Empire...
"Come here, tell all our spies in the empire to move."
However, what he didn't know was that the stone that haunted him was still in Liu Qingqing's space and had no chance of seeing the light of day again.
