The waiting process was a little shorter than expected.
During the time Cang went out, Ke Keluo had told several people in advance about Bai Qianzhi's actions in Kumkuz, but it would be too naïve to expect this pet cat with a detached personality to tell things completely and orderly...... She kept chattering about Irene Heath, and almost 90% of the time focused on her solitude with Bai Qianzhi.
For example, how she found him everywhere to pester him while he was busy doing commissions all day.
For example, how she introduced him to the Academy of Scholars.
For example, after he became a scholar, how did she accurately seize the opportunity when he came to the troupe to rest and act coquettishly......
Hearing the end, Ye Qianchen just thought to Bai Qianzhi in his heart: "It's really hard for you to have to deal with such an energetic guy every day."
"Well, you said he was an adventurer......"
"Yes, yes, Bai Qianzhi was very poor when he was an adventurer! I have to carry heavy things around every day, or I have to go to work in various places that don't smell good."
"Hey, that's it. That ......"
Unlike the others, Irene Heath seemed to care a lot about this kind of minutiae and could deal well with Corcora's airwaves. Seeing that the atmosphere was good over there, the rest of the people simply put the two of them aside for now.
Soon, Cang brought the insiders back.
"Hey, this isn't Hamil!"
To the old man who was being helped in by the young scholar, Ye Qianchen, who was still thinking about how to insert and ask from which direction was more appropriate, immediately shouted loudly.
"Night...... Qianchen?"
On Hamil's side, after recognizing Ye Qianchen, he immediately showed an exaggerated expression of astonishment - it was a gaffe that Peggy, who had been studying with him for many years, had never seen before.
"Hi, it's not me. You're a lot older...... Hahaha, look at what I'm talking about. I haven't seen you for 60 years, and it is only natural that there will be changes. It's much calmer, Hamill, and you are completely two people who were frizzy at the beginning, and when you first became a scholar, you grabbed the original manuscript of your thesis and asked me to drink all night."
"Hehe, after all, sixty years have passed. You are ...... Nothing has changed."
"Hey, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read."
Even if they are old acquaintances, they can't sing and talk so far apart. Hamill put away his desire to reminisce and walked up to several people with Peggy's help.
"Let me introduce you, these are my companions. Do you still remember junior sister? You saw it a few times 60 years ago. Then this is Angoban's princess Irene Heath and her maid Xiao Ai, and next to her is the white-robed swordsman."
"Nice to meet you, Your Highness the Princess of Angoban. Nice to meet you, everyone. The old man is Hamill, a retired professor at Scholars College. Ye Qianchen, your companions are really as special as you."
"Who said it wasn't. But today is mainly for Bai Qianzhi's whereabouts, since you are the one in the know, it also saves me from coming to you later."
For Hamil and Bai Qianzhi to come into contact with this matter, it was obviously an unexpected surprise that Ye Qianchen did not expect. Hamil was once an old acquaintance of Ye Qianchen, and the friendship between the two was not bad. When he was also facing the dilemma of the sentry card, Ye Qianchen thought that he might be able to solve the traffic permit network for them. Originally, before entering the city, he was still thinking about how to talk about permission if he wanted to go to Hamill, but now it was convenient.
"Sure enough...... Are you here for Him? When I saw his crystallization biology paper, I felt that it was very similar to your academic style, but I didn't expect you to be a companion."
Hamill first sighed slightly at the drama of fate, and then picked the key point - about the introduction of Bai Qianzhi into the Scholar Academy, as well as the subsequent trial events in the academy and the subsequent attack on the troupe, to the end of Bai Qianzhi leaving Kumkuz with the stranger information he provided.
"Well, it seems that the court of Guluni still listens to Her Majesty's words. But I still don't know why Bai Qianzhi went east......"
After listening, Ye Qianchen touched his chin and began to mutter, muttering to himself. At this time, Peggy first looked at Hamill and asked for the other party's consent with his eyes, and then interjected respectfully: "Let me explain a little about this. Bai Qianzhi has been living with a bachelor named Sesilov during his time at the academy, and it is said that Sesilov also sent him on the day he left the academy, so he may know his intentions."
"Oh, then this scholar is here now?"
"It's a coincidence...... A few days ago, Sesilov and an orc girl from Dongchuitu City who claimed to have been guided by Bai Qianzhi set off for Angoban to study."
"Did you miss it, that's a pity. Well, the eastern vertical diagram. Not ......."
"I remember that there is another female scholar in the academy who seems to be in a relationship with her benefactor."
Seeing that everyone had no clue, Cang reminded him at the right time.
Ye Qianchen immediately looked up.
"Please tell me in detail."
"I don't know much about the life of a scholar, but I met the female scholar when the troupe was helping the benefactor clean up the warehouse. It's just that the benefactor cared about the curse at the time, and after hearing Mr. Sesilov say that she seemed to know something about it, the benefactor should have asked her later, right?"
"Good idea."
It's really easy to deal with smart people.
Ye Qianchen sighed in his heart for the second time and turned to Hamil: "Hamil, can you help me find this person?"
"Cough...... Senior, Professor Hamill is old and inconvenient to move. If you don't dislike it, let me find her for the professor."
Peggy, who had been a little nervous since Hamil recognized Ye Qianchen, took the initiative to take care of the matter, and under his reminder, realizing that Hamil was no longer young, Ye Qianchen couldn't help but look at the young man twice.
"Hamill, who is this?"
"He's Peggy, my student."
"Nice young man! What direction is the main attack?"
"Let the seniors laugh, my main attack direction is the dragon clan."
"Gu Long, good ambition. If you are interested, we can discuss it later, maybe the traveler's experience can bring you some inspiration."
"Then, that's really! Ahhhhh...... I lost my temper."
"Hehe, Peggy, it's okay to be happy. Being able to accept this scholar's call is not comparable to immersing oneself in reading a book."
"Then, I'll go find someone first."
Suppressing the overwhelming excitement, Peggy temporarily escaped and rushed to the academy. As for the people who stayed behind - the identities of the team and Bai Qianzhi were further revealed, and the troupe members, especially Cang, must have mixed feelings now. Seeing her and Irene Heath sitting aside, you communicated softly over tea and me, and then looked at Ling Luoxi and Xiao Ai who also interacted with other people in the troupe, Ye Qianchen also felt relieved and focused on catching up with Hamill.
"Since you are so deeply involved in that brave man's affairs, Ye Qianchen, you are indeed ...... too."
"Well, you guessed it right. My junior sister and I are both "stars" from the same world as Bai Qianzhi."
Faced with Hamil's question, Ye Qianchen was very open-minded and made his identity clear. On the one hand, it was out of old personal friendships, and on the other hand, it was also because Hamil had already known about it in advance to a certain extent, but he had helped Bai Qianzhi to some extent.
"Son of the Star...... You always have a unique brilliance that sets you apart from this world."
Faced with the speculation that he had doubts when he first met and finally confirmed after sixty years, Hamill showed a bitter smile that was not very bitter.
As one of the very few children of light who have been fortunate enough to come into contact with multiple stars in this era where no stars have visited, Hamill is undoubtedly lucky...... It is undoubtedly painful.
"Hamill, just relax. You see our existence too far."
On the other hand, Ye Qianchen patted Hamil on the shoulder with the attitude of a young man.
"Remember what I told you before? Scholars should not always think about things that are too far away and too heavy, thus ignoring the simple nature of truth...... Aren't we people who have traveled against the current in the same academic river? We are comrades, so we are not the sons of stars and light."
「…… yes...... You're right."
Faced with his friend's young face, which had not changed since the first meeting, Hamill was stunned.
"When your students come back, how about we hold an academic discussion together like we did back then?"
"Okay. Of course it's good."
Then, as if I were young——
They put on a tacit smile together.
