Chapter 1415

War of the Gods and Demons: Chapter 15

..

According to what she has heard, that person has already died and because of that, her cousin seems to have lost her mind for some time. But with the help of the elders from the alchemy association, she was able to regain her consciousness.

So while looking at the handsome young man who saved them, she could only shake her head to free her mind from her those thoughts about her cousin.

She is a bit sad for her cousin because of the pressure from the family, but now that she is fine, she feels happy for her cousin. But something is still amiss with her cousin after that time. It would seem that she is not the same anymore.

Rong Ching is a bit persistent in inviting Xin Ja, so he agreed to eat with the two women.

While eating, he listened to Rong Ching who is like a chatterbox as she talked about the latest news in the capital of the Jimal Kingdom.

He heard about what has happened to the princes, about the advancement of the military, the visit from the empire, and so on.

Upon hearing those things, Xin Ja could not help but be curious about how things are on Rou Chenchen's side. After listening, he could not help but want to ask about the alchemy association's matters.

"I'm curious about the alchemy association.. how things in that part are?" he asked.

"Oh, the alchemy association is just fine.. They.. they were able to advance further and a few geniuses have come out from that place.." Rong Ching began to name some people and then explain their works.

These are public information, but she just likes to tell these kinds of stories, especially to someone who is not from the capital city.

Then she suddenly said a name that made the heart of Xin Ja skip a beat.

"Although everything is fine with the alchemy association, they have lost a genius.. I really pity my sister-in-law.. Rou Chenchen. She was once held as a genius in the association, but because of some guy, she lost everything.." she muttered with a sad tone.

"My cousin, Rong Wan has stayed with her in all of her woes and trouble. Even though the world has turned its back on her, he is still by her side.. Sigh, I really want to thank that guy who did this to her. Because of him, she met my kind-hearted cousin.." Rong Ching showed a happy expression with her last words.

While listening to her words, Xin Ja could not help but feel his heart being stabbed. He now knew the reason why Rou Chenchen has not replied to his messages. He thought that she did not reply because she wanted everything to be discrete between them.

He told her the reason why he has to go away in those messages. He thought that she understood him. But that was all in his mind.

No matter what one thought of, there is no such thing as understanding someone without communicating properly.

Xin Ja could not help but grip his heart as he felt some bout of pain.

Seeing this reaction, Rong Ching was a bit confused, but Rou Mei on the side showed a conflicted expression on her face.

She now knew that this person really is the someone that she thought he is.

"Are you okay, Mr. Xin?" asked Rong Ching with concern in her eyes.

Xin Ja breathed in deeply trying to calm himself down.

"I.. I'm fine. I.. I just needed some fresh air." Xin Ja said as he looks outside the window.

"Oh, wait a minute.. I thought that your name is very familiar.. I remember it now, your name sounded like one of the known heroes in the kingdom.. I think they call him Xin Ja the.. artifact or something." Rong Ching said with slight confusion at the end of her words.

"The artificer.." Rou Mei on the side corrected.

"Ah, that's right! That's right! I heard that the guy is the reason why the kingdom has grown into such a powerful nation. I think they said that he was able to fight off a Ki-Master even though he is only a Ki-Fighter using the artifacts he made.. Many young people admired that guy after hearing his feats.."

Although Xin Ja feels a bit proud after hearing those words, he still could not help but be sad about what has happened to Rou Chenchen.

"How could this have happened to her?" he thought wanting to run to Rou Chenchen's side and help her regain everything.

Seeing the conflicted expression in the young man's eyes, Rou Mei decided to tell him the truth.

"My.. my cousin. Rou Chenchen.. she lost her memories, she even forgot how to create pills. But luckily, the association still accepted her.. but for some reason, she could not focus anymore and would always fail in her concoctions.." Rou Mei said while trying to ascertain the expression in Xin Ja's eyes.

"Rong Wan whom she has met in the association has helped her in every turn. Though many have ridiculed her, he continues to stay by her side to protect her. He.. he was there for her." she said while biting her lower lip.

In fact, she feels a bit of anger towards this guy who left her cousin. If he is truly fine, why did he not show up when her cousin was in trouble?

If he is actually fine, then why did he just show up now? Now that her cousin is already living a good life, with a man who truly loved and protected her, would he show up?

Hearing those words from Rou Mei, Xin Ja could not help but grit his teeth as the pain in his heart seem to have increased.

Xin Ja is not a rash person, but he is still a young person who sometimes would do things rashly. So after hearing those things from the two women, he has already decided to visit the alchemy association.

He takes out a few Jimal gold and put them on the table.

"I need to go first.." he said as he floated out of the window.

When the two women saw this, they were both stupefied.

How could someone just float in the air as if it was nothing? They thought that the guy should only be a Ki-Adept at most, but who would have thought that he would actually be a Ki-Master or even a Ki-Champion?

That mere thought made the two women feel a bit of panic in their hearts.

But then after analyzing what just happened, the two of them thought that he should be some powerful person who wanted to act low-key.

With his young appearance, he should be some genius from a rich family who wanted to go out and experience a normal life.

Upon reaching this thought, Rong Ching feel a bit excited.

But in contrast to her feelings, Rou Mei feels a bit complicated. She just prays that the guy would not cause trouble for her cousin anymore.

..

Meanwhile, Xin Ja's figure has already appeared near the alchemy association where a middle-aged man stopped him as the two of them floated in the air.

"No one is permitted to fly around the capital city.. I advise you to go down now.. junior." The middle-aged man said courteously.

Although he did not know the cultivation level of the young man in front of him, since he could casually levitate, then he must be a Ki-Master or a Ki-Champion just like himself.

Xin Ja did not retort back and just landed on the ground with the middle-aged man.historical

"You're very young and yet so accomplished.. What might this young brother's name be?" asked the middle-aged man.

"I am Xin Ja.." Xin Ja replied casually.

Upon hearing that name the middle-aged man's figure suddenly froze.

How could he not know that name?

Everything that happened in the capital was just a few weeks ago, more than a month at most, so the memory is still fresh in the minds of many, how much more for a Ki-Champion like himself?

"You.. you're still alive? Every..everyone thought that you've already died.. The.. the capital even did a heroes parade on your behalf.." the man said with a dumbfounded expression.

Xin Ja showed a faint smile on his face.

"Yes, I've come back after recovering from my wounds.." Xin Ja said while cupping his hand.

"I would like to visit the alchemy association.. will this senior permit me to go..?"

"Ah, yes.. Yes, of course." The middle-aged Ki-Champion showed a faint smile before pointing Xin Ja in the direction of the alchemy association.

It did not take long for him to arrive at the alchemy association which made him feel a bit of nostalgia.

In front of that gate, which seem to have changed now a bit, he fought against someone powerful.. a Ki-Master from the Zaoi clan.

Upon thinking to this point, his anger suddenly rises as he wanted to destroy that clan now. But he has to see the alchemy association first and know what truly happened to Rou Chenchen.
