Tree King: What? I've become the Abundant Pharmacist?

Chapter 539 Confused Young Men and Women

"But there is still no evidence..."

"The place where three destinies intersect...?"

Clearly, the place where the three destinies intersect, as mentioned earlier by the Black Swan, can well explain these current problems.

Perhaps I'm just overthinking it.

After all, there are so many coincidences, and even if there is only a slight probability, there is a credible reason for it.

But a seed of doubt was still planted in Eve's heart.

“We still don’t have enough information about Onfaros,” Eve shook her head slightly.

At this moment, Mimi, sitting with her legs crossed, floated on the water, drifting gently with the current, looking very content.

It's almost as if it's carrying a blade of grass in its mouth.

"Mmm~" (This feels so good~)

This made Eve smile.

"You look like an old man."

"Mimi!" (Mimi is a beautiful girl!)

"Yes, yes," Eve still managed a smile.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"It's me, Eve. I have something I want to ask you."

Wan Di's voice rang out from outside the door.

"Ten thousand enemies?" Eve frowned.

"Wait a mininute."

"Sorry, but I'm in a bit of a rush."

Wan Di, standing at the door, was very anxious; he desperately wanted advice or an answer.

There was a moment of silence inside the room before Eve's voice rang out again: "I'm taking a shower."

"Okay! I'll wait a bit longer!"

Wan Di immediately felt embarrassed.

He almost broke down the door.

Luckily, I was too slow.

You can't be so impulsive in the future.

After a while, the door was opened.

Eve appeared before Wan Di, wearing a white dress.

"Mimi?"

Mimi was floating on Eve's shoulder, looking at Wan Di with curious eyes.

"Come in."

"What's the matter?"

Eve turned and went into the room, where she sat down in a chair.

At this moment, Wan Di was no longer as carefree as before; instead, he became reserved.

He found a stool and sat down, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"This, this..."

"Is it because of the fire?"

Seeing that Wan Di remained silent, Eve asked first.

Wan Di was somewhat surprised, but he nodded.

"That's indeed the reason. How did you find out?"

“If you didn’t have it written all over your face, I might tell you I knew it by reading minds.” Eve fiddled with a strand of her freshly dried hair with one finger.

My hair, which hasn't been maintained for a long time, is still incredibly smooth.

"You can read minds?" Wan Di's eyes widened.

"Don't worry, you're not worth me using my mind-reading ability," Eve waved her hand.

"After all, you're just as lost as Bai E was back then... Mimi, hey, I'm really not talking about you."

Eve pushed away Mimi's pink face that was pressing against her once again.

"Confused...? It's so obvious." Wan Di chuckled to himself.

He was tormented, torn between everyone's demands and his own bottom line.

Ever since he killed his father and led the remaining members of his clan out of Suspended Peak City, he has been determined never to return to the conflict and to lead his people to find another way out.

But now...

“Eve, please give me an answer.” Wan Di lowered his head and used polite language, which was rare for him.

This was a respectful term he would only use for his teacher, but now he was using it on Eve.

This shows that he truly regarded Eve as his final teacher.

Because only outsiders can give the most impartial advice.

What are you hesitating about?

Eve didn't answer Wan Di's question; instead, she asked him the same question.

The sudden question left Wan Di completely bewildered.

"What are you hesitating about...? I can't say, it's just..."

“But you feel like you’ve gone against your original intentions, right?” Eve said.

Wan Di nodded silently.

“I have read your history and know the reason for the destruction of Suspended Peak City.”

"What you really dare not face is not the spark of conflict, but the fear that you will be like your father, like Nicardo, bringing pain to the world."

Eve said that she knew about Wan Di's past experiences not to bluff, but because she had seen them in "As I Write".

Wan Di's past experiences are all recorded in it, and there are even his inner monologues.

Upon hearing Eve's words, Wan Di remained silent and nodded quietly.

"But taking back the fire does not mean returning to conflict."

Wan Di suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with a strange gaze, yet also with hope.

"You mean, reclaiming the fire and returning to conflict are not mutually exclusive, right?" Wan Di asked incredulously.

“That’s right.” Eve nodded.

"That depends on how you look at it."

“You are the crown prince of Suspended Peak, the most suitable successor to the spark of conflict, a fact that is acknowledged by both the Golden Clan and your own people.”

"Now that you have obtained the fire and acquired the power of conflict, will you return to the old path of conflict, or will you lead your people to forge a new path that belongs only to you? That depends on you."

Wan Di's eyes became clear at this moment.

He had already figured out what Eve meant.

Even if I really become the inheritor of the conflict, so what? I will never let myself and my people walk down that thorny path. Instead, I will lead them to a new conflict, a conflict unlike any before.

“I understand! Eve… teacher.” Wan Di suddenly stood up and blurted out, then realized he had lost his composure.

Eve made no other move.

Wan Di then bowed deeply and said again, "Teacher Eve, please allow me to address you this way."

"Thank you for showing me the way when I was lost."

Eve nodded slightly. "Actually, the answer lies in your heart."

"Go."

"Thank you, then I'll take my leave."

After saying that, Wan Di left Eve's room and closed the door behind him.

With Eve's advice, Wan Di felt all his troubles vanish.

"Ms. Eve... she's really amazing."

"Calm, powerful, composed, wise... that reminds me of Cecily."

"I'm afraid Ms. Eve is no less impressive than the Titan of Reason... Hahahaha..."

Wan Di left the Cloud Stone Palace. Now, the young man was no longer confused, but had a goal.

Meanwhile, Xia Die, who had just brushed past Wan Di, became wary.

"Cersis? The Titan of Reason? Teacher Eve?"

"Oh no! Mom!"

..........................................

Private bathhouse.

"Confused?" (What's wrong with him?)

After Wan Di left, Mimi nestled on Eve's head.

"A common mindset among teenagers."

"He considered himself extraordinary at a young age, but was forced to bow his head by reality."

"Everyone tells him what he must do, but no one tells him what he can do."

"So now we need someone to tell him, 'You are indeed extraordinary at a young age, go for it.' That would be enough."

As Eve spoke, she lifted Mimi off her head.

How come this little guy keeps crawling onto my head and shoulders when I'm not looking? Who taught him that?

"Alright, it's getting late, time to sleep."

After Eve tidied up, she was about to turn off the lights.

Just then, there was another knock on the door.

"Hmm?" Eve frowned slightly.

Why is there so much business today?

Who is it this time?

Before Eve could ask anything, the door was violently forced open.

Then Xia Die rushed in, looking very anxious.

"Mom! Are you alright?"

"I just heard Wan Di say something about Cesis? No, it couldn't be..."

Xia Die was in a hurry and very tense, but she relaxed a little after seeing that Eve was safe.

For some reason, she suddenly burst into tears and rushed towards Eve, who was on the bed.

"Mommy, Mommy... I'm so scared, scared of losing you..."

Eve was somewhat bewildered by the butterfly that had pounced on her, but she still hugged the butterfly and gently comforted it.

No, I've always been here.

"Even if the world is destroyed, and there is eternal day and eternal night, I will always be here." Eve gently patted Xiaodie's back.

Mimi, standing to the side, had her hands hanging down and her little mouth pouting, making her look like a little old man.

Hmph, that's not how you treated me just now!

After a while of comforting her, Xia Die finally relaxed completely, but she still didn't want to let go, clinging to Eve like a koala.

"So, what exactly happened?"

After Xia Die calmed down, Eve asked softly.

"Because, because, I just encountered Wan Di." Xia Die's voice was so soft it was almost the sound of a mosquito.

"Then, I heard him mention Sersis."

"I thought your identity had been exposed, so..."

Xia Die did not continue speaking.

Although Cersis is on the side of humanity, no one can guarantee what the Senate will do to this Titan.

Furthermore, Eve's arrival in Ohma concealing her identity must mean she has something to do.

Therefore, Xia Die worried that if Eve's identity were exposed, it would arouse the Senate's suspicion and prevent Eve from completing her mission, which would then cause Eve to leave Ohma in anger.

In that case, wouldn't I never see my mother again?

Hearing Xia Die's words and realizing her little scheme, Eve felt a mix of doting helplessness and affection.

“I’ve already told you, I’m really not Cecily.” Eve gently stroked the top of Xiaodie’s head.

“I know, Mom, you’re not Cecily, you’re not Cecily… I promise I won’t let it slip.” Xia Die nodded very solemnly, her eyes full of seriousness.

"Sigh, this child just won't listen to anything I say," Eve shook her head slightly.

In Xia Die's understanding, it is certain that Gneiss is the embodiment of the Titan of Strife. Since the Titan of Strife believes that Eve is the Titan of Reason, Cersis, then Eve is Cersis.

Because Titans will not mistake one Titan for another.

This is the logic of the butterfly.

"Never mind." Eve was too exhausted to argue anymore.

"You don't need to worry about Wan Di. He's just a little confused and came to me for some advice."

"Ask him a question? Does that mean you're his teacher?" Xia Die asked, somewhat bewildered.

"This child is the same; he only needs to ask some questions, so he doesn't need to call the teacher."

Eve understood the importance of respecting teachers, as it had been the case back in the Order of the Fathers.

There are very clear etiquette rules between teachers and students.

But she's not in the Order of the Fathers now, nor is she a former teacher there.

“No, this is very important,” Xia Die said very seriously.

“Not only Ohma, but also Suspended Peak City and Tree Garden attach great importance to this.”

"A person with knowledge is a teacher."

"Furthermore, we have great respect for our teachers," Xia Die said.

"Wait, wouldn't that mean Wan Di will try to steal my mom away from me...?" Xia Die muttered to herself.

Her expression immediately tensed up.

“This…” Eve finally understood the Onpharos’s concept.

But she couldn't understand what was going on in Xia Die's little head.

"No! I need to go talk to Wan Di!" Xia Die seemed to have made a decision in her heart.

"By the way, why did you come to me about eliminating Wan Di?" Eve suddenly remembered this.

Aside from the matter of Wan Di, Xia Die wouldn't come here to find me for no reason.

"Oh, right." Xia Die suddenly remembered.

"It is Lady Aglaia."

"She sent me to convey to Your Excellency that she has prepared gifts for the two pioneers and hopes to deliver them in person."

"I see." Eve nodded slightly.

Indeed, it's normal for Aglaia to prepare a gift at this time.

After all, they had already solved many problems since they arrived in Ohmma.

At the same time, it also allows us to understand the inner workings of Onphalus.

"Now?" Eve asked.

According to Eve's biological clock, it's already late at night.

"Um...it's tomorrow."

Xia Die, nestled in Eve's arms, immediately lowered her head, her eyes darting away.

"Because, because, I, I wanted a hug, so, so I couldn't help... and came early."

"Don't worry, I'll be waiting outside until tomorrow morning."

"Regarding the door... I'll have someone fix it."

After saying that, Xia Die let go of her hand shyly, and her face turned bright red.

Seeing the butterfly's hurried movements, Eve sighed deeply.

With a wave of her hand, the dilapidated gate was restored to its original state.

It's because Eve used the prayer of the Titan of Time.

Eve then pulled back the covers on the bed and lay down first, before beckoning Xia Die to come over.

"How could I possibly leave you waiting outside all night?"

"Unfortunately, there's only one bed in my room, so we'll have to squeeze in tonight."

Xia Die looked at Eve's waving gesture and the drawn blanket, and she was somewhat incredulous.

"Can I really do it?"

Because of death, Xia Die, who had always slept alone, could hardly believe it.

"Of course, but the bed is a bit small for two people."

"If you don't want to, you'll have to squeeze in with Mimi..."

"I am willing."

Before Eve could finish speaking, Xia Die had already slipped into Eve's bed.
