Chapter 181

That was why she couldn't help but actively approach Luo Jia; otherwise, one was a school-flower-level young lady with a prominent background and extraordinary strength.

Why would she fall for the plain-looking Luo Jia?

Xiao Mei was actually just an obstacle set by the old demon for Luo Jia's environment.

Ye Liuyun was an example.

As everyone knew, Ye Liuyun and Xiao Mei were childhood sweethearts, a perfect match.

Before Luo Jia met the old demon Grandpa Delan, why didn't Xiao Mei approach Luo Jia?

And it was only when Luo Jia met the old demon that Xiao Mei became close to Luo Jia; the difference was huge.

Precisely because of this.

If the old demon hadn't influenced Xiao Mei, why would Ye Liuyun have to deal with Luo Jia!

Qin Feng gradually confirmed his thoughts.

But he couldn't tell Luo Jia directly; after all, this old demon was quite good at acting.

Luo Jia trusted the old demon very much and was also very dependent on him.

Qin Feng hadn't officially met Luo Jia yet; speaking out rashly would not only alarm the old demon possessing Luo Jia,

but would also make Luo Jia's impression of Qin Feng become extremely poor.

The most feared thing was that the old demon, fearing exposure, would destroy Luo Jia, which wouldn't be good.

At the very least, there was still room for redemption now.

Luo Jia looked at the teenager in front of him who was about the same age as himself.

It was the first time a peer had been so kind and taken the initiative to talk to him.

He was suddenly at a loss and stammered: "H-hello, I, my name is Luo Jia."

Qin Feng smiled and asked: "I'm an auditor at the academy, here for the first time today. I saw you here feeling sad just now; do you have something on your mind?"

Seeing Qin Feng state his purpose, Luo Jia's instinctive guard disappeared.

He also had a good impression of Qin Feng and sighed: "There are a lot of annoying things lately."

"Student Qin, do you say... is life always this difficult? Or is it just like this in youth?"

Qin Feng smiled warmly, looking at the sky, and said indifferently: "It has always been this way."

He paused and added: "However, life is short, so we should cherish some beautiful things even more."

"Although this world is corrupt and unfair, like a long night, if we only see the darkness in our eyes, we will never be able to turn back."

"At this time, we need to look toward the light. Some people are born needing light, and some people are born to be light sources that burn to illuminate others."

Qin Feng grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "Do you want to be a light source, or do you want to pursue the light?"

Qin Feng saying this wasn't without planning.

In the late version, when public quests opened, Luo Jia would already be trapped in a dead end.

He wouldn't be able to turn back even if he wanted to, and could only walk down one path to the dark.

He became one of the strongest main forces of the Evil Faction, inheriting Grandpa Delan's dark magic legacy.

Plus, he was originally the Child of the Version, with the natural blessing of the protagonist's halo.

So he was constantly hunted, but he kept getting stronger.

In the end, Luo Jia grew up.

He followed Grandpa Delan's arrangements...

Joining forces with the Beast Race to bring very serious damage to the Continent of Gods.

That was roughly the public main storyline of the first version.

And now Qin Feng had intervened before the main storyline was made public.

Luo Jia wasn't trapped in a dead end.

He could still be saved.

Qin Feng knew that Luo Jia's nature was kind, and his actions were half guided by the old demon's schemes and half coerced by the general trend.

At that time, Luo Jia couldn't be a good person even if he wanted to.

Qin Feng guiding him like this was intended to plant a seed of light in Luo Jia's heart.

"Thank you, Student Qin," Luo Jia said very sincerely. "Your words have touched me deeply."

However, he seemed to have fewer knots in his heart.

Luo Jia said: "I will probably choose to be a light source that burns itself to illuminate the boundless darkness."

Luo Jia's parents had died when he was young, and he had been raised with difficulty by his grandmother.

It could be said he had seen the worst of human nature.

But he didn't know where this kindness in his heart came from.

Luo Jia recalled: "My grandmother told me that to be a person, one must be an upright person so that one can live in the sunlight."

Qin Feng smiled and nodded: "You are indeed a good classmate. I have to go to the Alchemist Guild tomorrow, so I'll go first."

Luo Jia felt some reluctance; for so many years, this was the first time he had met someone like Qin Feng.

Student Qin not only knew a lot and spoke well, but the key was that being with him felt very comfortable.

Hearing Qin Feng mention the Alchemist Guild, his eyes lit up.

"Student Qin, I am also an alchemist. I have a potion formula here that I haven't had time to refine."

Luo Jia said hurriedly: "Why don't we make an appointment for tomorrow to go to the Alchemist Guild to refine potions together?"

A secret smile appeared at the corner of Qin Feng's mouth.

He nodded and said: "Of course, then let's set a time."

The two set a time, and Qin Feng left.

Walking out of the academy gate, Qin Feng was secretly happy.

In his previous life, he knew that Luo Jia was an alchemist and had extraordinary attainments, especially skilled in dark-type potions.

The sentence he mentioned just now was to cast a hook.

Unexpectedly, the honest and kind Luo Jia really took the bait and took the initiative to ask to go refine potions together.

Qin Feng had long coveted dark-type potions.

The harvest this time was quite good.

Not only did he gain the friendship of the Child of the Version, but he also harvested a wave of leeks from the Child of the Version.

Anyway, the dark potions Luo Jia knew were all formulas given by that old demon.

Qin Feng had no psychological burden at all.

Compared to that old demon, he was much kinder.

Thinking of the few old demons in Mobei who stuffed his main account's image into the dungeon,

Qin Feng felt a sense of disgust.

The next day.

Storm City Alchemist Guild.

"Brother Qin."

Luo Jia took out a formula without any defense.

He handed it to Qin Feng and said: "I happen to have the first advanced potion production diagram here. I am a junior alchemist and cannot make it for the time being. Since you are a senior alchemist, please help me refine it."

Qin Feng didn't take it immediately.

He wasn't sure if the old demon in Luo Jia's body had said anything to Luo Jia after he left yesterday.

Would this advanced potion production diagram be a hook set by the old demon for himself?

Was it a test?

Qin Feng understood that he still had an advantage over the old demon in Luo Jia's body.

His advantage was knowing about the existence of the old demon in Luo Jia's body, while the old demon thought he didn't know.

Seeing Qin Feng hesitate, Luo Jia became anxious: "Brother Qin, are you too embarrassed?"

Qin Feng smiled and nodded.

Luo Jia said hurriedly: "Brother Qin, although we haven't spent much time together, I have treated you as my good friend since yesterday."

"So don't be a stranger to me."

Seeing Luo Jia say this, Qin Feng immediately felt relieved.
