When Song Yao returned home, she did not even have the chance to stabilize herself before she sprinted towards Teacher Xu's residence.

Although they had only been together for a little more than a month, Teacher Xu's talent and charisma had already completely moved Song Yao. Song Yao no longer treated him as anyone else, but had already become an existence that she could depend on.

Song Yao could no longer care about the dozen or so people standing around, she rushed over and pulled his Master along to look, then sat down on a stone chair and said: "You scared me to death, I thought your enemy found you, and killed you."

Her tone carried some hope of survival, but Teacher Xu did not accept her words, and only said: "I have nothing else. Go back first, you have no business here."

"Alright." Song Yao answered, thinking that there might be something else, it was indeed inconvenient for her to stay here.

He had just turned around and took two steps when he suddenly heard Rong Chu yell, "Stop!"

Song Yao was startled for a moment, and then asked: "What's wrong?"

Rong Chu looked at Teacher Xu, then said: "Sir, this student knows that she might displease you, but other than you and me, and the two people on my side, she is the only one who knows about this. Now that something has happened, are you sure you want to let her go so easily?"

When Song Yao heard him, she looked at Fu Qing, who was standing beside him. Fu Qing had his head lowered the whole time, so Song Yao was unable to catch a glimpse of him.

From the looks of it, this matter was indeed very serious.

Song Yao walked to the front of the silent Teacher Xu and asked: "What's wrong? Master. "

Teacher Xu lifted his head and looked at her. His eyes were filled with a coldness that Song Yao had never seen before.

Then she said, "Did I do something wrong? If I really did wrong, you guys have to tell me too, I'm easy to change. "

"Let them all go down." Teacher Xu suddenly said.

Song Yao's body was uncomfortable because of his cold tone. She suddenly felt that she was just too childish, and that her master was probably too secretive, and she had not found out about most of the things that happened.

Rong Chu dismissed the crowd, causing Fu Qing and Xie Yang to disappear as well. In a short while, there were only three people left in the courtyard.

"The seed has been lost." Teacher Xu suddenly said.

"Hmm?" Song Yao did not react and asked curiously: "Seed? What seed was lost? Wouldn't it be fine if she lost it and bought it again? "What's all this fuss about? It's not like …"

She paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Master, you can't be saying that the corn seed has been lost, right?"

Teacher Xu looked at her silently for a long time.

Song Yao was a little confused and a little embarrassed. After all, only the three of them knew how important this seed was and she was indeed worthy of being suspected. Furthermore, the reason why Rong Chu respected the Teacher Xu so much was because of his research on corn. If this thing could become the country's main food source in the future, their country would definitely be invincible, and they wouldn't have to worry about the threats of the neighboring small nations anymore.

Thinking about it this way, Song Yao also understood the reason behind Teacher Xu's attitude towards her just now.

"Any leads on the scene?" When was it stolen? Did you see the murderer? Is there anything special about it? "

Song Yao asked in one breath. After that, she snorted and said, "Do you really not know or are you just pretending?"

Song Yao understood his anxiety and anger, as well as her current restraint and compulsory calmness. Thus, she explained with good intentions, "Rong Chu, I hope that you can understand me, but of course, this may be a very difficult thing for you, as you do not have the spare time to look at me. But with Master in the middle, I think we'll have to deal with each other for a long time, so I hope you can understand what kind of person I am. "

She took a deep breath, "Firstly, although I am a woman and a scarecrow, I also have the ambition to help save the world. Although it may not be realized, I will do my best. Therefore, I would never do anything that would threaten the people of a country. The matter with regards to the Seeds is no small matter. Honestly speaking, I have the heart but not the guts. "

"Secondly, I've only taken you in as my disciple for less than a month. Back then, I've said that my master and disciples only cared about one another, and I will never go back on my word." For the past month, I have deeply experienced the importance of a seed to a master.

Third, although I don't really like to interact with you, and I know that you are a person that is deep and shallow, but I have never treated you as an enemy. I also know that you are the crown prince today, and if you are, then you are the king, and if I have the heart, then I will curry favor with you.

"Fourth, for people who have ideas for seeds, one would be from another country, the other would be from the palace. You also know, for those people from the palace, I only know Zi Yanghou, and I have never met any foreigners before, but for the relationship between Zi Yanghou and you, do you need me to say anything?"

"Fifth …"

"Alright." Teacher Xu suddenly interrupted her, rubbing his forehead: "It's because I was muddleheaded for a moment, to actually suspect you, I should know that even though you are clever and quick-witted, you are the same as the crown prince, and are my vile heart. You don't have to say anymore."

"No!" Song Yao said: "I must say, fifth, I feel that stealing the seeds is not a bad thing."

Teacher Xu was startled, Rong Chu also looked at her.

Rong Chu was startled, but he continued: "You are trying to let our country grow food suitable for its own climate, so that the citizens are not hungry, and there are plenty of food at the border, so other countries do not pose a threat, right?"

Rong Chu looked up at her but did not say a word.

Song Yao continued: "If the seeds are stolen, there are only two outcomes. One is destroyed, and the other is nurtured."

"If we are destroyed, it will not affect us at all. After all, if we can obtain one seed, we can obtain a second one, right?"

Rong Chu retorted, "Do you think it's that easy to get a child like that? The seed is in Ling Nan, not the territory of your country. How many difficulties do you think you have to go through to get it? "

Song Yao sighed: "Is this what you should say? Rong Chu. "

Rong Chu stared at her, and said fiercely: "Don't push your luck, your suspicion here hasn't been washed away."

Song Yao did not mind and continued, "Do you think governing a country is like playing with children? She got married and had a baby just by thinking about it? Which empire was not built with great effort, not with the blood of the soldiers? Difficult? Should she just give up on it? In other words, even if I conspired with others to destroy the seed, what would happen to you? If you kill me, that would be the end of it, right? "

Rong Chu was silent for a while, then said: "What if they want to cultivate it? If it is someone from another country, then wouldn't our country be in even greater danger? If it was anyone else in the palace, how would I be able to act? "

Song Yao said helplessly: "I don't know whether or not you are worried, or perhaps, you are more focused on your position, logically speaking, you should not be confused by this matter. If someone from another country were to nurture them, they could come and steal their seeds. Can't you just steal their nurturing methods? Moreover, it is not known whether they will succeed in nurturing it or not, nor whether the soil in their country's environment will be able to adapt to this seed's existence. "

"If it's someone from the country or the palace, no matter who it is, it's still beneficial for the country, isn't it?"

She turned back to her master and slowly said, "Sometimes, three smelly smiths are like Zhuge Liang. One person's intelligence is inferior to the collective wisdom of others, right? I don't believe, that in such a large country, only my Master knows how to cultivate seeds. "

"Clap, clap, clap ~ ~ ~"

Three claps of applause came from the Teacher Xu. He sighed: "But I'm old, I don't see things as clearly as you, the little girl. I really shouldn't have."

"Your Highness, do you understand?" Ha ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha ha … "Ahahahahahaha …" He suddenly broke out in laughter before murmuring, "I've been trapped in my own world for too long, too long …"

As he spoke, he headed for the house. Then the door closed and the two of them were alone in the yard.

Song Yao looked at Rong Chu, saw that he was not in a good mood, and was even staggering when walking, so he went up to help him.

Rong Chu tilted his head and looked at her for a while before saying, "You … Who exactly is it? "
