Chapter 91

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

Why would she fall for the plain-looking Luojia?

Xiaomei was actually just an obstacle set by the old demon in Luojia's environment.

Ye Ye Liuyun was an example.

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

Before Luojia met the old demon Grandpa Delan, why didn't Xiaomei approach Luojia?

And when Luojia met the old demon, Xiaomei became close to Luojia—the difference was vast.

Precisely because of this.

If the old demon hadn't influenced Xiaomei, why would Ye Ye Liuyun need to deal with Luojia!

Qin Feng gradually confirmed his thoughts.

But he couldn't speak directly to Luojia; after all, this old demon was quite good at pretending.

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

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

It would also make Luojia's impression of Qin Feng become extremely poor.

What he feared most was that the old demon, fearing exposure, would destroy Luojia, which wouldn't be good.

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

Luojia looked at the young man in front of him who was about his age.

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 Luojia."

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

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

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

"Classmate Qin, do you think... life is always this difficult? Or is it just like this when we are young?"

Qin Feng's smile was warm, looking at the sky, and he said calmly: "It has always been this way."

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

"Although this world is decaying and unjust, like a long, 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 face 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 said this not without a plan.

In the later stages of the version, public quests would open, and by then, Luojia 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 would become one of the strongest main forces of the Evil Faction, inheriting Grandpa Delan's Dark Magic legacy.

Plus, he was naturally the Child of the Version, with the natural protagonist halo blessing.

So he was always being hunted, but he was always getting stronger.

In the end, Luojia grew up.

He followed Grandpa Delan's arrangements...

Joining forces with the Beast Race to cause 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.

Luojia hadn't fallen into a dead end.

He could still be saved.

Qin Feng knew that Luojia's nature was pure and kind; what he did was half guided and set up by the old demon, and half coerced by the general trend.

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

Qin Feng guided him like this with the goal of planting a seed of light in Luojia's heart.

"Thank you, Classmate Qin." Luojia said very sincerely: "Your words have touched me very much."

However, he seemed to have much less of a knot in his heart.

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

Luojia's parents died when he was young, and he was raised with difficulty by his grandmother.

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

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

Luojia recalled: "My grandmother told me that to be a person, one must be an upright person, so that one can live under the sun."

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."

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

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

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

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

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

A hint of a secret smile appeared on the corner of Qin Feng's mouth.

He nodded and said: "Of course, 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 Luojia was an alchemist and had extraordinary attainments, especially in Dark-type potions.

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

He didn't expect the honest and kind Luojia to really take the bait and take the initiative to ask to go refine potions together.

Qin Feng had long coveted Dark-type potions.

The harvest this time was not bad.

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 that Luojia knew were all formulas given by that old demon.

Qin Feng had absolutely no psychological burden.

Compared to that old demon, he was much kinder.

Thinking of the old demons in Cloud City who stuffed his main account's image into the dungeon.

Qin Feng felt a sense of disgust.

The next day.

Storm City Alchemist Guild.

"Big Brother Qin."

Luojia took out a formula without any defense.

He handed it to Qin Feng and said: "I happen to have the first high-tier potion production blueprint here. I am a junior alchemist and cannot produce it for the time being. You are a high-tier alchemist, so please help me refine it."

Qin Feng didn't take it immediately.

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

Would this high-tier potion production blueprint be a hook set by the old demon for him?

Was it a test?

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

His advantage was that he knew of the old demon's existence in Luojia's body, while the old demon thought he didn't know.

Seeing Qin Feng hesitate, Luojia became anxious: "Big Brother Qin, are you feeling embarrassed?"

Qin Feng smiled and nodded.

Luojia said hurriedly: "Big Brother Qin, although we haven't spent much time together, I already treated you as my good friend yesterday."

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

Seeing Luojia say this, Qin Feng immediately felt relieved.
