Chapter 289: Chapter 288: Meeting You is Destiny

Xun Guangyong had an accident, and a teaching position in Class A became vacant, so the Alchemist Association should send a new pharmacist over.

Of course, the school is also recruiting senior alchemists from outside, who can compete fairly for this position.

Fu Xiangyu, having recently made a breakthrough, is also qualified for the job.

It’s said that the instructor from Class B, Lan, is a senior alchemist too, but recently became one. He’s on the same level as the current Fu Xiangyu and also wants to compete for the teaching rights in Class A.

However, Fu Xiangyu shook her head, "I plan to continue teaching Class C."

Qu Tong could hear determination and aspiration in Fu Xiangyu’s words.

Everyone has their own perseverance, and clearly, the path Fu Xiangyu has chosen is a tough one, but she has never given up.

Upon this topic, Fu Xiangyu shared with Qu Tong a few other things.

"The Crown Prince has sent me an invitation. I might go to the research institute on weekends in the future. If you and Rong Yueqing have any questions, you can tell me in advance; I’ll address them before I leave, and you can also message me at any time."

Fu Xiangyu treats all students equally; Rong Yueqing and Qu Tong may not have high Physique Talents, but they are currently the most diligent and achieve the best results.

Although she can’t prepare high-grade Spirit Power Stabilizing Potions in the future, it’s still good to be able to teach low-grade Spirit Power Potions.

Moreover, she had seen Rong Yueqing using a mecha in the military league; perhaps Rong Yueqing’s Physique Level could handle mid-grade potions and above.

Qu Tong understood Fu Xiangyu’s good intentions, but she still had to disappoint her.

"Instructor Fu, I would like to apply for not attending classes this term. You know my limit in potions is not high, and I want to do something more meaningful. I will attend the final examinations as usual. Do you think that would be okay?" Qu Tong said apologetically.

She took out the remaining few pages of notes from the Space Button and handed them over, the implication clear.

Fu Xiangyu was startled, looking at the notes in Qu Tong’s hand, the same quality as the previous papers, feeling strongly tempted.

But she didn’t take them.

After carefully considering Qu Tong’s words, she finally agreed.

Fu Xiangyu took Qu Tong back to the school office.

"I’ve submitted your application. There will be a small test when school starts. Just take it, and if you pass, there shouldn’t be any problems."

Interstellar teaching models are diverse, and instructors have the authority to teach according to students’ talents, like the students from the Mecha Single Soldier Department above the second year, who have very low grade point requirements and often go on missions or internships with legions.

"Okay, thank you, Instructor Fu."

Qu Tong took a watermelon out of the Space Button and gave it to Fu Xiangyu, who did not refuse this time.

The fruits from the Mu’an Vegetable and Fruit Shop are top-notch in flavor and usually hard to buy; she liked them very much.

Fu Xiangyu walked her to the door, then sat back at her desk. Seeing a few pages of notes under the water cup, she was momentarily stunned.

She felt a complex mix of emotions.

After a while, she carefully took them out and began to read them as if they were treasures, her excitement growing more apparent as she read further.

After leaving, Qu Tong went to find Rong Yueqing.

Rong Yueqing was renting a small courtyard, and Qu Tong rang the doorbell on the gate.

Click~

"I brought you..." Qu Tong started, but stopped abruptly.

Rong Chengjue’s lips curved in a faint smile as he reached for the red and white roses held out to him.

But Qu Tong took the flowers back: "They’re not for you."

Rong Chengjue raised an eyebrow.

"Prince’s Consort sister," Rong Yueqing’s gentle voice echoed from within the courtyard, and a pink figure soon approached Qu Tong.

The short distance, made shorter by her quick approach, added a blush to her face.

Qu Tong grinned and handed over the flower, "For you."

Rong Yueqing’s eyes, tranquil as peach blossoms, lit up with joy in an instant, "Thank you, it’s beautiful."

Rong Yueqing carefully took the flower, the thorns at the bottom already cleanly removed by Qu Tong.

"The Prince’s Consort sister, come in and have a seat."

Rong Yueqing led Qu Tong inside.

Rong Chengjue glimpsed the flower in Rong Yueqing’s hands and followed them inside.

Rong Yueqing looked back in confusion, "Brother, weren’t you going out?"

"Not anymore," Rong Chengjue responded calmly.

Rong Yueqing frowned slightly, but said nothing and turned back to continue speaking with Qu Tong.

"What is this type of rose called? I’ve never seen it before," Rong Yueqing asked, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Qu Tong smiled lightly, "Twin Rose, Cuira."

"Such a unique name, does it have a meaning behind it?"

Qu Tong rummaged through her memory and actually had some recollection.

"It seems to be: Meeting you was fate. I’m not sure if that’s right."

Rong Yueqing looked at the flower in her hand, astounded by its beauty and a real sense of deep destiny.

"Very fitting."

Qu Tong and Rong Yueqing chatted in the living room for a while, tasted the cookies Rong Yueqing baked herself, and Qu Tong brought some fruits from the farm for her as well.

Rong Chengjue was present the whole time but remained silent.

After Qu Tong left, Rong Chengjue also departed.

Rong Yueqing glared at the empty cups on the coffee table, visibly upset.

Her brother was really too much!

Qu Tong brought back many watermelons, distributing them to everyone she knew. People from Fei Wenxing had already been making a commotion about it during her live stream.

Back at Yuelan Bay, Qu Tong sent the elixirs given by Fu Xiangyu along with her own to Yuting, but packed them separately and sent a message to specify this on the communicator.

While looking at Jun Li’s light brain, the red dot slid down, and surprisingly, Emperor Changxin, who had been added long ago and remained unused in the contacts, sent him a message.

[The Dawn Galaxy experiences a strange phenomenon every 10 years, which happens to be this year.]

Qu Tong asked, [What phenomenon?]

Late in the evening, Emperor Changxin replied, [Experts guess it might be an image produced by an energy collision, but its authenticity can’t be verified.]

Emperor Changxin did not elaborate further but said, [The phenomenon is expected to occur around August. Miss Jun Li, if you’re interested, you could personally come to observe.]

Qu Tong also knew from his words that Emperor Changxin clearly hoped she would come.

Propping her chin and thinking for a while, she finally replied, [I’ll see how things are at the time. If I decide to come, I’ll contact you in advance.]

After closing the light brain, Qu Tong called Hu Qing from the guards outside.

[How much do you know about the Dawn Galaxy in the Cangling Empire?]

Hu Qing was a subordinate of Wu Yue. The last time Qu Tong asked him about the whereabouts of Qu Wanwan, Hu Qing briefly mentioned it. As part of the Sirius Four Team, akin to an intelligence organization, they usually perform special missions externally.

However, regarding the Dawn Galaxy, Hu Qing and his team didn’t have much information either, though there were some records of strange phenomena and expert speculations from recent years available, which were not very significant.

In the Dawn Galaxy, where energy surges chaotically, no one dares to enter, and it can only be observed from a distance, it still remains a highly mysterious existence.

Looking at a photo of the small, dull, and lusterless planet in the photo, Qu Tong then looked up at the starry sky outside the window.

The stars were bright and similar, yet they were not under the same sky, nor in the same epoch, having undergone many changes over the ages.
