Chapter 434: 434 A Crime?

434 A Crime?

Yuchi looked at the girl behind him with doubt. Who was this girl? Why was she following him? Yuchi stood still on the side of the wide road, waiting for the girl to approach him.

Si Yuming’s face was a little red.

“Hello, I’m Si Yuming. I traveled here to find clues to help solve one of the long-standing problems I’ve been studying. However, I didn’t expect that your third-level assessment answers would actually do that for me.”

“For that, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you.”

“If it wasn’t for you, this question would have bothered me for a long time. Your detailed answer and explanation really inspired me too.”

“It’s my honor to have been able to help you,” Yuchi said and nodded slightly.

Si Yuming felt even more embarrassed by his kind words. After all, this person had every right to be arrogant in front of her after his slew of achievements.

Seeing him so amiable, Si Yuming quickly offered him an invitation.

“If you’re free now, I’d like to invite you to the restaurant next door for a short while. Naturally, I also have some things I want to discuss with you over a meal.”

Yuchi thought about it a little. His disciple was now cultivating in jail. That being said, even though it was a jail, she basically had full control of the place. It was somewhat akin to Yuchi’s own time in the Netherworld Sea prison.

Thinking about it, that feeling back then was pretty good.

Fishing and enjoying the sea breeze. There were also all kinds of heart-wrenching scenes when he fought those demons and monsters.

The memories still made him feel nostalgic.

If he became a true god one day, he would probably return to the Netherworld Sea prison.

“No problem, let’s go.”

Yuchi also gestured with his hand.

Si Yuming was overjoyed and nodded her head.

…

They entered the restaurant.

Si Yuming took the initiative to order some relatively expensive dishes for Yuchi. Yuchi did not have any intention of rejecting her. Since Si Yuming had questions for him, he would use his answers as payment for the food.

In the end, the other party asked a question that had nothing to do with alchemy.

Si Yuming asked, “May I know what kind of family you’re from?”

“I’ve never heard of someone with your talent before. You must be from a major reclusive family.”

Yuchi was a little puzzled.

Why did she ask this question at this time? Was this question very important?

He did not understand.

Still, he replied, “I’m not from a major family. I just happened to appear in this place by chance. There are many things I don’t quite understand. The only thing I want to do now is to push myself to become a fifth-level alchemist.”

After Si Yuming heard this, even though she had already mentally prepared herself, she still felt that this matter was rather exaggerated.

A person with such talent actually did not reveal which family he was from?

Wasn’t fighting for the glory of one’s family something that was very natural?

Although Si Yuming was not someone who liked to show off, she was still quite proud of her family.

His family would also be pleased by his achievements. It was a win-win situation.

However, did he just say that he wanted to become a fifth-level alchemist?

Fifth-level alchemists were the pinnacle of alchemy. There were only a few of them in the Alchemist Valley, and each one was famous.

After suppressing the shock in her heart with great difficulty, Si Yuming asked, “Do you really think you can pass the fourth-level alchemist test in three days?”

“I’m not too sure about it just yet, but I’m certain that I’m going to try, Yuchi said with a smile.

After some conversation, Yuchi discovered that the girl in front of him came from a major family, and that her grandfather was a fifth-level alchemist.

However, this did not seem to have much to do with him.

The other party was a fifth-level alchemist. If he was not one himself, he would not be qualified to have a proper conversation about alchemy with the other party.

This was a matter of respect.

While they were chatting, a few aggressive-looking people rushed in from outside. These people were obviously from the police station. They quickly searched the restaurant, and when they saw Yuchi chatting with Si Yuming, they rushed to Yuchi as everyone was watching. They pressed on Yuchi’s shoulders with both hands and were about to take him away.

Si Yuming saw this and was stunned.

Then, she immediately asked, “What is going on? Why are you suddenly arresting him?”

A few people from the police station looked at Si Yuming in confusion. Why did this beautiful girl look so familiar? When they exchanged glances, they realized that it was the same for the others. Then, they realized that the girl in front of them was Si Yuming.

Her grandfather was a fifth-level alchemist, and she herself was a respected third-level alchemist who was only 20 years old.

Many people believed that she would follow in her grandfather’s footsteps in the future and become another legendary fifth-level alchemist.

Since that was the case, the people from the police station restrained themselves a little and said to Si Yuming, “This guy has committed a crime!”

“We’re here to capture him and bring him back.”

Si Yuming was shocked.

“What crime?!”

She did not believe that Yuchi would commit a crime.

It did not make sense.

Would such a powerful person commit a crime?
