Chapter 646: The Gloomy and Cold Beast King Captures the Charming Alchemist (40)

After leaving this secret realm, Ming Chenque took the initiative to ask the dean to learn two more skills, so he added courses on alchemy and weapon refining, and thus he became a "transfer student" in the alchemy room.

He almost gave up on the Beast Warding courses because the memories in his mind told him that those Beast Warding courses were the simplest versions of the "Laws of Beast Warding Talents".

The fifth elder heard that this young man was very familiar with Lin Muqing, was an old friend, and was also the dean's apprentice, so she asked her to take care of him more and learn as much as she could.

Lin Muqing was naturally happy to do so. With the experience of giving a lecture last time, she had become the most popular person among the students in the Alchemy Room except for the Fifth Elder. Many people liked her, including many young men. Ming Chenque would always call her away on the pretext of asking about Alchemy knowledge.

Ming Chenque would learn a lot of alchemy knowledge on his own when he got home at night, just so that he and her would have more common topics to talk about in class during the day.

…

Lin Muqing saw that he was really trying hard to express his love and surround her with love.

Once she took his hand on her own initiative and held it for a long time.

He didn't dare to ask out loud. Apart from holding hands, Mingchenque did not do anything inappropriate.

The six-month study period has passed.

There are also assessment competitions for alchemy. Lin Muqing relied on his extremely skilled alchemy techniques to rank among the best in terms of heat, sequence, and innovation, and won first place.

The reward was a holy-grade alchemy furnace. She already had one, so she gave it to Ming Chen Que.

She smiled and said, "You gave me so many spirit beasts, so I'll give you this alchemy furnace for your practice."

There was no way he would use the Mingchen Que to practice. If it exploded, he would never be able to find a second one. Not to mention it was a prize, which had a completely different meaning. So he put it in a spiritual weapon box and took it out to look at it from time to time.

After Ming Chenque's assessment results came out, it was no surprise that Yu Beast took first place, Refining Equipment took second place, and Refining Pills took third place. He was so strong that people admired him.

There were many girls in the academy who admired him, but Ming Chenque always refused them by saying that the dean wanted to see him for something, and that was it.

With so many young men in the academy eyeing his sweetheart, he couldn't give anyone the chance to take advantage of her.

People in the academy only knew that he and Lin Muqing were close, but outside, he always kept his distance and would never do anything that would damage her reputation.

As for Lin Muqing's fiancé, it was just a rumor, and this time the rumor would disappear as they all returned home.

At that time, the Ming family had already made great progress in Yuesuo City relying on the spiritual beasts, gold coins and elixirs brought back by Ming Chenque, and returned to Cangwu City in three months.

On the day of leaving the academy, Ming Chenque and her agreed to meet in the forest outside Shengtian City in the morning.

Lin Muqing was surprised to see the Dark Sun Eagle beside him.

"Does the dean know that you kidnapped it?"

Mingyang Eagle took the initiative to explain: "I can't be considered Dongfang Wenyao's contracted beast in the true sense. I am just a guardian. He has no power to control me. Even before I recognized my master, I could go wherever I wanted."

“So that’s how it is.”

Ming Chenque patted the Mingyang Eagle. The Mingyang Eagle knew that its current owner had a beloved who loved and cared for him, so it stopped talking after he explained and behaved exceptionally well, squatting on its owner's shoulder with its two paws standing together.

"It's very fast. Do you want to ride with me?"

She put away the Fire Phoenix and held out her hand to him, "Okay."

This time, extending a hand seemed to Ming Chenque like fulfilling her promise.

Go back and propose marriage.

These two words flashed through Ming Chenque's mind, and he couldn't help but laugh.

The Dark Sun Eagle suddenly grew larger, and Ming Chenque pulled her up and stopped.

When the Dark Sun Eagle took off, it suddenly turned to the right. Lin Muqing lost his balance and fell into his arms, so he simply hugged his waist. Ming Chenque was obviously surprised, and then he was ecstatic, and his whole face began to feel hot.

"Have you prepared the betrothal gifts?"

“We only have two months.”

She could clearly hear her voice speaking from her chest, and even though the morning breeze was blowing in the air, he could still hear it clearly.

She said that if she performs well, she can propose marriage.

"I'm... ready." Ming Chenque handed her a storage bag and said frankly, "All my belongings are in here."

He collected a lot of treasures in the secret realm. He exchanged the useless ones for money and kept the useful ones. There were over 100 million purple gold coins alone.

Lin Muqing opened it and took a look with his spiritual sense, and his mind was filled with boxes of treasures.

A rough count shows there are at least five or six hundred boxes.

"I don't know if my dad will agree." She gave him a heads-up so that he could be prepared.

After all, she couldn't guess what Lin Boyan meant, and she almost got embarrassed by him last time.

Ming Chenque was originally very happy, but he calmed down a little after hearing this. He put his hands on her back and hugged her tightly, "I will convince him."

"Don't worry, I'm on your side this time." Lin Muqing's words gave Ming Chenque more confidence.

He couldn't help but lower his head and kiss the girl on the forehead.

The dragonfly's kiss on the water is full of cherishment and joy.

He was finally going to get what he wanted.

The boy was very innocent. Lin Muqing sometimes couldn't bear to tease him, so she didn't take the initiative, fearing that she would lose her mind if she teased him too much.

The Dark Sun Eagle pricked up its ears to eavesdrop, while flying faster. Its master was finally going to have a mistress, so it had to fly faster and try to get a marriage contract or even get married before returning to the academy.

…

Cangwu City.

People in the city were discussing the dispute between the Lin and Ming families yesterday.

At this time, the discussion at the city gate was even more heated.

"They started a fight over a spiritual herb. It seems the Ming family is just taking advantage of the situation to stir up trouble!"

"Who made Young Master Ming suddenly awaken his talent? I heard that he is now the apprentice of the dean of Shengtian College and can walk freely in Xuantian Continent!"

"The Lin family failed to gain anything by trying to steal the chicken, and lost a good son-in-law."

"The academy is closed, Mingchen Que should be back soon."

"It's going to be fun."

Everyone likes to watch the excitement and no matter how big the event, the melons of powerful people taste better.

"Look, isn't that the head of the Lin family?" someone said, and everyone's eyes were focused on the direction being pointed.

Lin Boyan, dressed in a neat and majestic white robe, brought ten elders and waited at the city gate in a mighty manner.

"Xiaoqing told me she would be here today. Did she take a day off early?"

The elder also found it strange, "It's possible that the eldest lady's test results were excellent, so she took a leave early."

Otherwise, how could he come back when it was only five days? In previous years, it took a month.

A huge black-brown eagle was approaching in the sky.

The people below all looked at him with surprise and curiosity.

There is only one eagle in the entire continent, and it is the patron saint of Shengtian Academy.

They didn't dare to recognize it and just thought it was a magical beast shaped like an eagle.

Until the huge creature stopped at the city gate, the five stars on its forehead symbolized its supreme rank.

"It's an eagle! It's the Dark Sun Eagle!"

"Mingchenque?"

"Isn't that the eldest lady of the Lin family?"

Everyone in Cangwu City thought that Ming Chenque hated the Lin family so much that he asked the Ming family to attack the Lin family. As a result, he and the eldest daughter of the Lin family got off the Mingyang Diao together.

Apparently they came back from college together.

Although they were not close after they separated.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that their relationship, even if it’s not a close one, is certainly not ordinary!

"You guys?" Lin Boyan was not calm anymore, his brows were wrinkled like soybeans, "Good girl, come here to daddy!"

"Young man greets Uncle Lin." Ming Chenque was dressed in blue, with a smile on his face, a warm and sunny look, and a respectful tone.

He has changed a lot from the gloomy, indifferent and never-smiling boy a few months ago.

Lin Boyan narrowed his eyes and did not respond.

Lin Muqing had already walked to Lin Boyan's side, "Dad, don't be so serious, let's go home first."

She also greeted all the elders, and the elders treated her like their own daughter, smiling all the time and asking about her well-being.

Lin Boyan nodded, "I'm glad you came back safely. What is this eagle?"

The Dark Sun Eagle was quite smart. It could tell at a glance that its master was not well-received, so it answered in an old voice that seemed particularly steady.

"Lin Muqing won first place in the alchemy test with the best results. Ming Chenque also won first place in beast refining, second place in weapon refining, and third place in alchemy. They are all the best students in the academy. I came here specially to protect them and bring them home."

Ming Chenque: Does the dean know that you are fooling around like this outside?

The people around were surprised, and their eyes seemed to be full of jealousy and admiration.

What a concept of being the first!

But apparently this sentence worked, not only explaining why they came back together, but also making them both famous.

"Thank you for protecting my daughter." Lin Boyan nodded gratefully to Mingyang Eagle. The seriousness on his face instantly broke. He looked at his daughter beside him and chuckled happily, "First? My good daughter is awesome!"

The elders also looked happy.

"The young lady is so amazing, we must hold a celebration party!"

"The elders will all ask for your advice in the future!"

"Xiao Qing is even better than his teacher. This time the assessment should include an alchemy furnace. Let's go back and show it to the Third Elder!"

Lin Muqing exchanged glances with Ming Chenque across the crowd.

"Okay, I'll show them to you when I get back." There are so many alchemy furnaces in the space, he can always get away with it by taking one out.

Just when the Lin family wanted to leave.

Ming Wei, the head of the Ming family, Shen Yunshu, the mistress, and the elders of their family also came to pick up Ming Chenque.

The battle array is no less than that of the Lin family.

When Lin Boyan saw Ming Wei, the smile on his face faded a little and he was obviously unhappy.

But he turned and left without saying goodbye to the other elders. Lin Muqing was also escorted away by the elders, her dress fluttering, leaving only her back to Ming Chenque.

"Father, mother." Ming Chenque retracted his gaze and asked Ming Wei tentatively: "What happened between you and the Lin family?"

Mingwei patted his son's shoulder. The beard he had grown before was now shaved cleanly, and his face was somewhat similar to Ming Chenque.

"We are tired after the journey. Let's talk about it when we get home."

"Son, what kind of spirit beast is that?"

Shen Yunshu looked towards the Dark Sun Eagle.

"The academy's Dark Sun Eagle is going back." Ming Chenque raised his eyebrows to signal the huge creature that it could leave.

Otherwise it would be difficult for him to explain.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Dark Sun Eagle hung its head and could only fly away alone.

But the look in his eyes says, "Master, I will be back soon."

The Ming family also took their children back.

…

Ming family.

Ming Chen Que noticed something unusual from the strange atmosphere when the two families met just now.

"Mother, did you have a conflict with the Lin family when you returned to Cangwu City?"

Mingwei paused while drinking tea. Shen Yunshu explained, "Your father and Lin Boyan were competing for the young seedlings of the holy fruit at the auction. He might have been holding a grudge and the two of them kept arguing. They bid tens of millions of yuan. They were in the next private room, so they quarreled and started fighting as soon as they left the room."

"The Lin family lost 5 million purple gold coins to the auction house, and so did we."

"Although there is no winner, the relationship is broken."

Ming Chenque was troubled as to why they started quarreling at this critical moment.

No wonder Lin Boyan didn't look at him kindly just now.

But he didn't understand, and his voice became colder, "Sacred fruit? Just for a sacred fruit!"

Shen Yunshu also felt that her son's reaction was too strong. "Yes, didn't you say that you really needed the spiritual herbs? Of course your father wants to get them! The Lin family is also determined to get them. Anyway, we don't have to interact with the Lin family anymore."

Ming Chenque felt helpless and regretful, regretting that he had not made it clear earlier that he liked Lin Muqing.

"Father, I forgot to tell you that the spiritual herbs I collected are all for Miss Lin."

Because when he was in Yueshou City, he found that due to the terrain, some places in Yueshou City did not have spiritual herbs that were not available in other places, and Lin Muqing often made pills which required a lot of strange spiritual herbs, so he asked his parents to keep an eye out for them and take pictures of the rare ones. He didn't expect that such an oolong would happen.

"Cough cough." Mingwei almost spit out a mouthful of tea, but he held it in and choked.

Shen Yunshu quickly patted him on the back, then looked at her son with suspicion and surprise, "For her?!"

"Why?" Both the couple looked towards Mingchenque.

"When I had no talent and was bullied and nearly died, she saved me and sent me to the Monster Forest. That's how I awakened my talent for beast control."

Even though Ming Chenque later knew that he would still be able to unlock the seal and obtain the talent when he was about to die even without her, he still did not change his thoughts about her. Even if she had ulterior motives, it was true that she saved him.

"She is my savior, father and mother, I love her, and I want to propose marriage again this time when I come back."

"This..." Shen Yunshu's eyes widened, "Why didn't you say it earlier! Now that we're in such a mess, you, kid, eh, we've already made a grudge."

Ming Chenque had no confidence at that time that he could regain her favor, but then a series of things happened that were beyond his expectations.

For example, the memory of Ruchen.

It is difficult to tell right from wrong at the moment, because everyone is speaking from their own perspective, and we can only retain it later.

Ming Wei was a little slow to react and said sternly, "Being her lifesaver is one thing, and you can repay her, but her family did look down on you. They were so quick to agree to the marriage, and then they broke off the engagement so quickly! They are so powerful! Do you still want to propose marriage now?"

"Father, I couldn't even protect myself at that time, how could Lin Boyan be confident in giving his daughter to me?"

When he was completely unable to defend himself after being beaten by Nangong Haotian, he realized the profound meaning of Lin Boyan's words.

"Uncle Lin didn't mean to insult me ​​before. The housekeeper acted on his own and was punished."
