The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

At first, Jiang Fan hoped that Xu Yexing would stop being so mysterious and just follow him around. However, every time Xu Yexing just smiled and looked at Jiang Fan without saying a word, and then suddenly disappeared, so Jiang Fan gave up.

He didn't know what this woman was thinking. She had never shown up before, but recently she showed up frequently, getting drunk with him every time. Sometimes she would blush and secretly look at him.

However, Jiang Fan was not opposed to such days. Sometimes when he went out with Xu Yexing, he would feel a lot more relaxed.

After all, after making the rubber, he had several technical problems in making the steam engine that he could not solve for the time being. He felt a little irritated.

He got drunk with Xu Yexing several times and passed out, but it also made his mind clearer and gave him a lot of inspiration.

Several problems with the steam engine began to be slowly solved, and a few days later, the steam engine that Jiang Fan was researching finally began to be assembled.

Not far away, Zhong Ling watched Jiang Fan and a group of workers assembling a steam engine. She looked at Xu Yexing beside her with a complicated expression.

"Sister Yexing, have you really decided to leave?"

The reason why Xu Yexing had been looking for Jiang Fan these days was because she had decided to leave. After following Jiang Fan secretly for so long, the inexplicable thoughts in her heart had calmed down.

She felt that it was time for her to leave, but before leaving, she actually still wanted to stay with Jiang Fan for a while. So...

"All good things must come to an end. It's time for me to leave! During this time, I took advantage of his drunkenness to sort out his meridians. It shouldn't be long before he has a chance to reach the Grandmaster level. If I'm not around, he can protect himself. Even if he can't win, he can still escape!"

Xu Yexing looked at Jiang Fan with a nostalgic but complicated expression. She wanted to stay, and even wanted to stay by Jiang Fan's side as his lover.

Even if she didn't have a name, she couldn't get over it. Her age and her relationship with Duo La Yue Er made it impossible for her to stay.

"Sister, are you ready to go back to Beimeng?!" Zhong Ling asked Xiang Xuyexing.

Compared to her, Zhong Ling felt that she was lucky. At least she could always stay by Jiang Fan's side, and Jiang Fan also made a promise to her.

But Jiang Fan did not make any promise to Xu Yexing, and even if Jiang Fan gave Xu Yexing a promise, she was afraid that she would not be able to stay.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yexing smiled and shook his head.

"No, Yue'er is now governing Northern Mongolia very well, and she doesn't need me anymore! I have people in Tianyi Dao who will protect her! I want to go somewhere else. For example, the Western Regions, or overseas! Or anywhere in China. The world is big, and I want to go and see it!"

At this point, she looked at Zhong Ling and gently stroked her hair. At this moment, she was like a caring older sister. She treated Zhong Ling as a junior.

"You... protect him well. He will face many dangers. He wants to do his part for the people of the world, so you should protect him!"

Nodding to Zhong Ling, Xu Yexing looked at Jiang Fan deeply again, and finally left without looking back. Her figure looked very lonely. And very lonely.

Zhong Ling opened her mouth, but in the end, no words came out to try to keep her.

Jiang Fan didn't know that Xu Yexing had left. He tightened the last screw, with an expectant look on his face.

"Put the coal in and get ready to start the experiment!" He gave instructions to the workers beside him.

Following his voice, the workers nearby quickly started to light the fire. Coal was put into the huge furnace. When the fire was lit, everyone's eyes were full of hope.

As the water in the tank boiled, a wisp of steam gushed out from one of the exhaust pipes. Jiang Fan directed the workers to release the steam.

As the workers operated, the bearing in front of them fell down quickly under the pressure of air. With a muffled sound, the iron block below was squeezed into shape in an instant.

The first steam engine made by Jiang Fan was a stamping machine, which was used to stamp out molds.

This machine will be used to make bullets, which will be twice as effective with half the effort. In addition to the stamping lathe, there are many other lathes that can be made. The steam lathe will increase the work efficiency several times.

Jiang Fan, who was standing by, was delighted when he saw the success of the experiment. As long as he continued to do so, once the steam engine became popular, the future development could be imagined.

At this time, he looked not far away and saw Zhong Ling standing there, but did not see Xu Yexing. He was slightly stunned, because he had just seen Xu Yexing.

He wanted to tell Xu Yexing the joy of his success, but since he was not there, Jiang Fan felt a little disappointed.

But he still wanted to share his joy with Zhong Ling.

"Ling'er, the steam engine is a success! From now on, industrial development will enter a higher level. At that time, the production speed of many things will increase dozens of times."

Jiang Fan shared his joy and did not notice that Zhong Ling looked a little strange.

"Your Highness, Sister Yexing is gone!" Zhong Ling finally spoke at this time.

Jiang Fan just nodded when he heard this. He thought Xu Yexing was just hiding temporarily. But soon, he found that Zhong Ling's expression was wrong, and he quickly looked up at Zhong Ling.

He didn't ask, but from Zhong Ling's hesitation and complicated expression, he understood what Xu Yexing's leaving meant!

"Let's go! I still have a lot to say to her..." He murmured softly, and he felt as if a piece of his heart was taken away.

How could Jiang Fan not have feelings for Xu Yexing, who had always been silently protecting him? But she also knew Xu Yexing's heart knot.

He was unable to comfort the other person. He tried to keep her, but he also knew that a woman like Xu Yexing could never belong to him.

Because her heart is not in love, she is as peaceful as water. Like a fairy in heaven, I am afraid that nothing in the world will stay in her heart.

If it weren't for the fate in the underground river of Beichuan, Beimeng, they wouldn't even have had much interaction.

"It's good that she's gone... She should have her own world. Live the rest of her life in peace!" Jiang Fan looked forward, sighed softly, and felt very powerless.

He opened his mouth to say something else, but before he could say anything, he suddenly felt a sense of weakness and fainted instantly.

Seeing Jiang Fan like this, Zhong Ling was shocked and immediately stepped forward to hug Jiang Fan.

Seeing this, the people not far away immediately ran over, their faces showing worry. Zhong Ling smiled at everyone and said, "Your Highness is too tired. I will take you back to rest. You can continue."

She picked up Jiang Fan and walked out. Looking at Jiang Fan's unconscious state, there was a trace of loss and pity on her face.
