Chapter 635: The Gloomy and Cold Beast King Captures the Charming Alchemist (29)
Ming Chenque no longer dared to use the communication device to contact her. Sometimes he would take it out at night, look at it for a few seconds, and then put it away.
But this gives us greater motivation.
But the young man, who was full of worries, didn't know that his every move was being observed by his beloved.
Lin Muqing discovered that one day his favorability rating was rising slowly, a little bit every day, so she focused her consciousness on Ming Chenque and found that he was standing by the window every day, holding a communication magic tool, gazing at the bright moon with longing and entanglement in his eyes, but in the end he said nothing and went to train the spirit beast overnight.
As the days passed, both of them were working hard on the same path, but one was almost at the finish line, while the other was trying to catch up with her and walk shoulder to shoulder with her at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

One month after coming out of the Fireworks Secret Realm, Dean Dongfang came back from his outing.
After hearing what the Seventh Elder said about Ming Chenque's performance in the Fireworks Secret Realm, Dongfang Wenluo was determined to accept him as his disciple this time.
When Ming Chenque went to the dining hall at noon, Dongfang Wenluo, dressed in a white robe and with fluttering white hair, came towards him.
He nodded slightly, "The students have met the dean."
"The dean wants to talk to you about something. How about we have lunch together?"
"Okay." Ming Chenque guessed the purpose of the visit.
The fifth floor of the dining hall is the exclusive box of the dean. Outside the window, on the curved eaves, there stands a group of birds and beasts, singing and dancing, the sky is clear and cloudless, and the scenery is picturesque.
The two sat opposite each other.
Dongfang Wenyu asked bluntly: "It has been three months since you started school, boy, have you not considered becoming my apprentice?"
Ming Chenque had already made up his mind and smiled calmly, "Can I ask the dean why he wants to take me in as his apprentice?"
"Is it because of talent? Or something else?" He had never asked these questions because he had never considered becoming a disciple.
Now that I have considered it, I want to understand it clearly.
Dongfang Wenyao laughed heartily for a few seconds, then looked at him with a thoughtful and steady expression, and said earnestly, "Boy, do you know why I want to take you as my apprentice? Because I see that you are ambitious, and I admire your ambition."
"If you are a mild-mannered person, I would not want to accept you as my disciple no matter how talented you are."
"Although you are ambitious, you are not a vicious and cruel person. You are brave and resourceful, and you can distinguish right from wrong. This is what is valuable."
"I have never accepted a disciple in the past five hundred years, nor have I ever thought about it. You are the only young beastmaster that I admire."
At this moment, the dean looked at the confident and steady young man in front of him, as if he saw the young man who fought against all beasts in the painting.
Ming Chenque gradually understood the hidden meaning of the dean's words. The dean wanted to train the next...dean.
Five hundred years old.
The dean has at most another five hundred years.
Over the past few months, he has also gotten to know the dean's character. He is fair and just, and is loved by all the elders and students in the academy. The dean is not only able to ward off beasts, but is also proficient in both alchemy and the use of beasts. His weapon refining is also top-notch. He is a highly respected and powerful figure in Xuantian Continent. People often describe him as coming and going without a trace.
Such a person deserves his respect.
"Okay, I've thought it through."
Dongfang Wen Yao looked up at the young man and stood up.
"Master, please accept my disciple's greeting."
The young man held a white porcelain tea bowl and walked closer to the dean, the tea in the bowl stagnant.
Dongfang Wenyao happily took it and drank it all in one gulp, his tone full of indulgence and joy: "After the competition, go with Master to pay homage to the Grandmaster, and you will be my official disciple and the senior brother of Shengtian Academy."
Dongfang Wenxuan stood up and patted his shoulder with relief.
Ming Chenque felt a little excited, but it was nothing compared to the ripples of emotion he felt when he thought of that person. So she meant so much to him?
The young man showed an elegant smile, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Master, let's eat."
"Okay." Dongfang Wenyao was overjoyed by being called "Master". "I remember that this afternoon is a day off. Let's have a couple of drinks."
"Master, please." Ming Chenque spent the entire afternoon here drinking and dining with Dongfang Wenluo.
It was not until dark that Dongfang Wen Yao was helped away by the third and fifth elders.
"Xiao Chen, please slow down. The dean drank so much that we have to take him back."
The fifth elder gave the dean a pill. The dean was just happy and not very drunk. He even said a few words to him before leaving.
"Come and see the Master tomorrow."
Ming Chen Que's eyes wavered between confusion and clarity, and he replied bluntly, "Okay."
He still remembered to take some hangover elixir, so he took it out of his storage bag. At the same time, he also took out a communication device.
He left the bottle of pills on the table and only looked at the spirit weapon card in his right hand.
What is this?
The boy stood up reflexively and went to the window, as if he had done it many times before.
But I don’t know what to do while standing there?
He summoned a little colorful parrot. Ming Chenque looked normal except a little confused. "Little parrot, what is this?"
"I don't know, I don't know~" The little colorful parrot kicked it with its tiny nails, and the tiny circle of light shocked the spirit weapon card, and then a confused female voice came out of the spirit weapon card.
