Enchanting Alchemist

0The pain in Hua Ruge's heart when he looked at his child was gone now. He only felt a bit more worried as he whispered into Xiao Bao's ears, "You will be able to see your father in a few days. When that time comes, you can't ignore your mother, understand?"    

    

"Even if you are a boy, and are related to your father, but you were born to be filial to your mother, you still have to kiss me."    

    

Little Treasure, of course, didn't understand this. He only wanted to learn from her, so he opened and closed his little mouth and called out, "Empress?"    

    

"It's a single word." Hua Ruge corrected him.    

    

"Empress?"    

    

"Mother."    

    

"Empress."    

    

Hua Ruge was speechless.    

    

Su Nianxia who was at the side could not help but laugh. She very rarely saw Hua Ruge feeling troubled, but she never expected that he would lose to a child.    

    

Hua Ruge shook his head, and asked her: "How many days have we been down from the Sacred Palace?"    

    

"Seventeen days." Su Nianxia said accurately.    

    

Hua Ruge was a little surprised: "I remember it very clearly."    

    

Su Nianxia dragged his chin and said: "Of course I am clear, I keep count every day."    

    

"Speaking of which, it's strange, the Protector Liu said that they would treat us to a meal, why is there no movement?" Hua Ruge had a troubled expression.    

    

"Yeah." Su Nianxia frowned: "Logically speaking, it's about time."    

    

"Although their injuries have stabilized, I am still worried." Hua Ruge looked at her and said: Why don't we think of a way? Another trip? "    

    

"Alright." Su Nianxia lifted his head, agreeing with great satisfaction.    

    

Hua Ruge looked at her snappily. "You're just waiting for me to say that right?"    

    

Su Nianxia nodded without batting an eyelid.    

    

"It's not hard to go. On the surface, they are my patients, so it's understandable for us doctors to be kind enough to go see them." Hua Ruge thought for a while, then said: "I'll ask King Head to send a message over to me tomorrow."    

    

Su Nianxia nodded his head. Back then, she wasn't able to speak with Jun Tianxia at all. After returning, she had been hoping that Protector Liu would invite them to a banquet everyday, and she didn't even have the mood to cultivate anymore. But who knew that after waiting so many days, there wasn't even the slightest movement?    

    

Hua Ruge was also worried in his heart, he did not hesitate at all. The next day, he took advantage of the time while he was patrolling the street to find the King Head, and asked him to help inform them.    

    

King Head had drank a lot of Hua Ruge's wine recently, his mouth was short for words, thus he agreed to it extremely happily.    

    

That day, King Head came to the top of the mountain to discuss this with Protector Liu. Recently, Protector Liu had been watching Tuoba Rui and Jun Tianxia's recovery and felt very happy.    

    

When he heard the King Head mention it, he smacked his forehead in annoyance: "It was my negligence. Please help me walk over there and invite the two cousin brothers to the feast tomorrow."    

    

"Yes, this subordinate will do it right away." King Head turned around and left.    

    

Protector Liu ordered some people to prepare a feast for the next day. He also personally walked towards the courtyard where Tuoba Rui and the others were staying, and asked them to meet their savior.    

    

At this time, Tuoba Rui and Jun Tianxia were playing chess in the courtyard. They seemed to be much more spirited, and their movements were filled with the dignity of not disturbing others. Even though they had already restrained themselves, other people were still unable to ignore them, so the junior disciple that served them was trembling with fear all day.    

    

The two of them had been trapped in the forbidden area for a long time and had gone through countless difficulties and dangers. Aside from being physically injured, their minds and souls were also very tired.    

    

The content of their conversation was very simple, it was all about their own wives.    

    

"With their temper, how could they not come visit us after so many days?" Tuoba Rui's voice was filled with dissatisfaction as he held Hei Zi in his hand.    

    

Jun Tianxia placed his hand on Bai Qi's chess box, and upon hearing that, he frowned: "That's right, we haven't even properly spoken a word, yet she is so heartless, throwing me here for half a month."    

    

If one were to listen carefully to the resentment in the voices of these two people, it was as if they were young wives that had been abandoned.    

    

"Could something have gotten in my way?" Tuoba Rui guessed.    

    

Jun Tianxia picked up the chess piece and placed it on the Go board, then said: "We cannot be too passive, if we have the chance we have to find the people here and test their words, if possible, we can go down the mountain early this morning."    

    

"Just what I want." Tuoba Rui said.    

    

While the two of them were conversing, Protector Liu walked in and smiled at the two of them: "Seems like the two gongzis have recovered well today."    

    

Seeing that, the two of them got up, and opened his mouth: Thank you Lord Protector for taking care of us, we are much better now.    

    

Tuoba Rui did not say much, so he just nodded.    

    

"The two gongzis, your rate of recovery is really fast. The doctor and I were greatly puzzled when you brought up this matter yesterday." Protector Liu treated the two of them with extreme gentleness.    

    

Jun Tianxia laughed and said: "To be honest, it's because of the medicinal pellets that the doctor who treated Brother Tuoba gave us that we were able to recover faster."    

    

"So that's how it is?" Protector Liu nodded his head repeatedly after hearing this and said, "Hu Gongzi is really kind."    

    

Although he said that, he was actually sighing at Hua Ruge's wealth. He took out the lifesaving pellet right when he said it, and even gave it to Hua Ruge as a healing pellet for daily use.    

    

Seeing the rate at which the two were recovering, the pills were definitely of high quality. This degree of generosity was something that these people, who were used to being poor, found hard to understand.    

    

Tuoba Rui understood Jun Tianxia's intentions for bringing Hua Ruge up, and so he continued: "I am grateful for the doctor's kindness in saving my life, and do not know who that young master is, where he lives, so I can personally pay my respects."    

    

"Hu Gongzi is a official in our Divine Domain, he opened many restaurants in the Divine Domain, he is a famous businessman." The Protector Liu continued, "It's not difficult for you two to meet that doctor. It just so happens that tomorrow, I'll invite their cousin to the banquet. When the time comes, the two of you can meet each other as long as you are there."    

    

"This can't be any better, Lord Protector has troubled you." Tuoba Rui said.    

    

"It's just a small matter." It's just a small matter. Protector Liu smiled along with him out of instinct.    

    

For some reason, every time he saw these two people, he would feel an invisible pressure pressing down on him. He would always feel inferior, not daring to speak a single word.    

    

After the Protector Liu finished speaking, he did not say a word, and then said: "Then the two of you continue, I will not disturb you any longer."    

    

"Take care, Lord Protector." Jun Tianxia lowered his head, treating her as sending her off.

After Protector Liu left, the two of them sat down again. Looking at their expressions, it was much better than before.    

    

"It seems like we were overthinking it and did not face any difficulties." Tuoba Rui said.    

    

Jun Tianxia nodded: "Come to think of it carefully, they are also not people who will suffer losses."    

    

Tuoba Rui smiled from the bottom of his heart. When he thought that he would be able to see Hua Ruge tomorrow, the smile on his face couldn't help but deepen a bit.    

    

Hua Ruge and Su Nianxia also received the news that day. Of course, they still remembered to ridicule the Lord Protector about it, so after they ridiculed him, the only thing left to be happy about was what happened next.    

    

"You said that we finally managed to get a man to come back after looking for more than a year. It's really awkward to live in someone else's place." At night, when the two were chatting in the courtyard, Hua Ruge retorted again.    

    

Su Nianxia nodded his head: "I was thinking the same thing, but the two of them have not recovered from their injuries, and we do not know the intentions of the Protector Liu, it is not good for us to act rashly."    

    

"My son hasn't even seen his father yet." Hua Ruge thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow, I will propose asking them to come down the mountain to recuperate and see how Protector Liu will react."    

    

"Isn't this a bit risky?" Su Nianxia said uncertainly.    

    

"It shouldn't be a problem to test it out. I'll be careful." Hua Ruge said, she did not want to endure for another half a month, she was clearly her man, why could she not bring her home to live?    

    

Su Nianxia nodded his head once: "Alright, let's work together."    

    

The two of them rested early in the morning. After washing up and changing clothes, they followed the King Head in the direction of the Sacred Palace.    

    

This time, Hua Ruge had gotten the experience and reported the leave to the officials in advance.    

    

On the other hand, Tuoba Rui and Jun Tianxia were waiting in the great hall. Sitting under the Protector Liu, one of them was dressed in black and the other in blue robes, both of them looked extremely imposing. However, the thing that was on their minds was not ten thousand miles, nor was it a thousand years, but rather, a mere little woman.    

    

Protector Liu, who was sitting on top of the two of them, felt nervous, as if he had done something against the will of the heavens.
