The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1235

(Unedited)

…

Xin Jong knew that his son has a purpose for leaving. No one knew what his son has been doing these past few years except for him, and Xin Xue who has already changed her name from Yao Xue. The three of them knew the purpose of his leaving and his many other secrets.

Although he is already used to his son traveling for the past 3 years, he still could not help but worry as a father.

But seeing the small lizard-like creature on his son's shoulder, he feels assured that his son would be safe.

"Well, I hope that he could accomplish what he sets his mind to do…" Xin Jong said while patting the shoulder of Xin Xue.

"Yes… Brother Ja would be fine as long as Xuanlong is with him…" she said as she reluctantly turns her sight away from the ship on the horizon.

Xin Jong walks first and when he saw Madam Zhang, he showed a slight nod on his head.

Madam Zhang also nodded her head, but a slight blush appears on her pretty face.

Yenxi who is already a 9-year-old girl suddenly runs to the side of Xin Jong and held his hand.

"Uncle… Xi'er wanted to stay with you… I want to play with Uncle the most…" the little girl's childish tone made the people around her smile.

Xin Jong almost choked as he steals a glance at Madam Zhang.

In fact, in these 3 years, the connection between the two families has been very close. Madam Zhang would always be found in the Xin Manor as she would teach Xin Xue and her daughter the many lessons for noblewomen. And through those years the interaction between the two heads of the family became almost constant.

Madam Zhang found the man very charming and responsible. He did not even take a wife even after the many years that his wife left him. Plus, Xin Jong is her distant cousin's husband whom her cousin has abandoned.

She called the man trash, but after interacting with the man, she could not help but see the image of her husband in him.

And after these years of interaction, for some unknown reason, her heart was moved.

The two are actually secretly dating and did not want to tell their families yet. So, these simple glances and gestures are the only thing they could do in front of their other family members.

The people who know the relation between the two are Doctor Xiang, and Xin Ja who have no objection.

As long as his father is happy, then Xin Ja would always support him.

The group soon went home after saying goodbye to Xin Ja.

…

Meanwhile, at the deck of the ship, Xin Ja stood calmly while taking in the calm breeze of the wind.

He looks at the sky and the tall mountain on the horizon and showed a faint smile on his face.

For years, he has waited for his strength to become sufficient to be able to take Rou Chenchen back. However, he discovered that the background of the alchemist association in the kingdom is not that simple.

Plus, he has communicated with her and she is doing fine with her work in the capital, so he did not want to just barge in and take her.

He realized that Rou Chenchen actually enjoys working as a pill master in the capital. After these years, she has been hailed as one of the top pill masters and the youngest master in the alchemy association. So, how could he selfishly just barge in there?

Since her status is very high, even the royal family would need to respect her, he decided to let her enjoy the prestige and pride she has obtained through her hard work. Instead, he would support her from behind.

He would just take her if it so she wished.

The two have already talked about it in their letters and video messages, so he is not that worried when it comes to her work and status.

So Xin Ja still has confidence in his relationship with Rou Chenchen.

While leaning on the railings of the ship, Xin Ja was suddenly approached by a tall young man wearing an expensive dark blue robe.

"Hello… It seems that you're going to be away from your family for a long time…" he walked to the side and then leaned on the railings as he lifted his eyes to look at the sky.

"Yes, well… My work will be in another city, so it might take some time before I could come back…" Xin Ja replied.

"Haha… You and me both… I too am going to Alesia city for some work…"

"Really? That too is my destination…" Xin Ja felt a bit surprised.

"Are you a medical master?" Xin Ja asked while looking at the pin on the young man's shoulder.

"Yes, I am… I'm going there with some colleagues…" he said while pointing at a man and a young woman standing at a distance.

When Xin Ja saw the man, he immediately recognize who he is.

Although it has been a while since he last saw the man, he could still vaguely recognize who the man is as Xin Ja had seen him a few times before.

The man is an apothecary who he had seen when he was a child, and whenever he would deliver the potions that he made to the apothecary store. This guy is Song Talin, an acquaintance of Master Wang.

The man was prideful, scheming, and would always look down on others. He heard that the guy married the woman named Yi Linya but was cuckolded when she found a better prospect. He seems to have turned a new leaf after she left him for another man. Later, he learned that his wife was played by the guy and left her with a son.

She was too ashamed to return to the Yi clan and much more to him so she left the town of Ogden. However, she left her son but Song Talin actually adopted the boy and raised him as his own.

Xin Ja could not help but look at the young boy standing behind the man.

The boy looks handsome and has a noble temperament.

Song Talin became a successful apothecary after the turmoil of his marriage and it seems that he did not trust any woman after his wife's betrayal. That's why until now, he is still unmarried.

The young woman standing beside them looks very beautiful. But Xin Ja could sense a thin dark aura from her body. If he did not possess his unique vision, then he might not even see that aura.

"Shadow Being aura…" he muttered to himself while observing the young woman.

It was as if she could tell that someone is observing her, so she turns her head in the direction of Xin Ja.

But as soon as she moved her head, Xin Ja's eye is already looking at the sky.

But of course, he is already using his other senses, watching her.

For these years, Xin Ja has already improved through constant practice his Absolute Sense. The headache in using it is already gone and right now, he is already able to spread his Absolute Sense around him at 50 meters in radius.

The young woman frowns and glared at those men who are looking at her secretly. But her expression changes when she noticed Xin Ja who is calmly leaning on the rails of the ship while talking to the young man.

"I'm Xin Ja… and you are?" Xin Ja extended his hand.

"Oh, I'm Han Xuhao…" he replied while shaking Xin Ja's hand.

The young woman who saw the two talking suddenly excused herself and walked towards the direction of Xin Ja and Han Xuhao.

"Xuhao… Who is this friend of yours?" she asked while showing a gentle smile.

Xin Ja looks at her this time and nodded his head.

"This is Xin Ja… Xin Ja, this is alchemist master Rong Beiyin…" introduced Han Xuhao.

"A pleasure to meet you, Master Rong…" Xin Ja said with a courteous bow.

"Xin Ja… Hmm… Sound familiar…" she muttered.

But it was 3 years ago that the name of Xin Ja became famous. And ever since then the name has not appeared in the town as he kept a low profile.

Except for the students in the academy, the name Xin Ja is now a thing of the past in the town of Ogden.

"So… what are going to Alesia for?" Han Xuhao asked as he pulls out his Mule which is now the size of a smartphone and then takes out a bottle of wine and three goblets.

He handed the goblets to Xin Ja and Rong Beiyin and then opened the wine. He then pours some to the three of them to share.

"I am there to see a patient…" Xin Ja replied as he takes a sip of the wine.

"Really? Haha… For me, I am going to do a difficult operation… I was recommended by my teacher to assist a famous surgeon…"

When the young woman heard this, her eyes immediately went wide.

"Don't tell me… Is it, Doctor Shin?!" she exclaimed.
