Ning Wan’s blunt words startled Shen Jingze.
Is it really just a coincidence?
Shen Jingze clenched his fists slightly, then raised his eyes slightly, as if he had made some important decision: "If I am in good health, Miss Ning, would you be willing to give me a chance?"
Ning Wan raised her eyes when she heard Shen Jingze's words, and her eyes fell on Shen Jingze's face.
Why do I feel that the words of this person in front of me have a deeper meaning?
"No way."
Ning Wan seized the opportunity and added frankly, "Fourth Brother's medical skills are unlikely to lead to a misdiagnosis."
Ning Wan's hand did not loosen from the door, but instead showed a tendency to exert more force. Her slightly furrowed brows and subconscious rebuttal made Shen Jingze realize that he had made a risky move.
Shen Jingze's expression froze, as if he hadn't expected Ning Wan's words to be so direct. "Miss Ning, you're right. I was abrupt."
It was obviously Chen Jingze who was going to die, but he acted as if he was not the one being talked about. He was only expressing his apology for his slightly frivolous words. The calmness and calmness in the depths of his eyes made people unable to bear to argue with him.
"It's getting late. If you have nothing else to do, Miss Ning, please go back to your room and rest."
Shen Jingze's lips curved slightly, with a faint smile on his face, but he ordered them to leave in a nonchalant manner.
“Well, Master Shen is not feeling well, so go back to your room early.”
Ning Wan naturally understood the meaning of Shen Jingze's words, and exerted force again, and the door was opened smoothly.
Outside the hall, the wind did not stop, but instead seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.
The trees outside the hall were rustling in the wind, and the hem of Ning Wan's clothes was slightly lifted by the wind.
In the hall, dozens of candles on both sides were blown out in an instant.
[Host, there's one more line left to say. Are you sure you want to leave?]
Ning Wan held the door open with her hands, lifted her skirt slightly, and walked out with firm steps.
After hearing Xiao Qi's words, Ning Wan frowned slightly: How is that possible?
But after Shen Jingze said that, it would be unreasonable for her not to take any action.
Ning Wan had her own ideas in mind, and after knowing that the host had no intention of giving up the mission, Xiao Qi did not say anything, but looked at the host quietly.
Ning Wan stepped out of the door and turned around again.
At this moment, Shen Jingze still maintained the same posture as before, with a smile on his face that seemed to never stiffen, warm and polite.
"Master Shen is already dying, why bother the gods?"
The inexplicable accusations made him change his expression even though he was the god that Ning Wan mentioned.
Shen Jingze's eyes were filled with hurt, and he opened his lips slightly, but no sound came out.
The hair on his forehead was gently blown by the wind, and Shen Jingze covered his face and coughed again.
He had not expected that He would hold such a high position in her heart.
Is it difficult?
As long as he is willing to trade and live two more years, he won't feel embarrassed.
He pinched his sleeve with his slender fingertips, turned his body, and his eyes fell on the statue not far away. Blood flowed out of his throat, but he swallowed it again.
"Reject Shen Jingze's help and complete the following lines: ① You are just dying, why bother the gods? ② It's just a coincidence. ③ It's impossible." The quest "Seeking death" has been completed. Reward:
Points: +480 (accumulated)
Reward: Possess three mind reading abilities.
(Note: This skill is only used in the current plane. Within the plane, there are no restrictions on character identity, location, or time, and the host can freely control it. Each mind reading session lasts five minutes and cannot be paused once started. It can be used continuously.)
Shen Jingze stood in the hall, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. "Is this what Miss Ning wants from me?"
It was obvious that the unclear wish she made was what was making things difficult for him, but now he was wrong.
Shen Jingze concealed his inner emotions, but the wind outside suddenly became stronger, and the candlelight in the hall dimmed a little.
Ning Wan paused as she was about to close the door and leave. She looked at Shen Jingze in the dim light and shook her head subconsciously.
She naturally didn't dare think of him like that.
Just tasks, all tasks.
Ning Wan put the blame on the task without any hesitation.
"Xiao Qi, will the mind-reading skill be useful on Shen Jingze?"
Perhaps it was because of her vague memory that too many of the skills she had acquired were unreliable. Now that she saw a more practical one, she couldn't help but want to confirm it again and again.
[Yes, host.]
Xiao Qi answered without any hesitation. Looking at Shen Jingze who was not far from the host, he asked again: [Does the host want to use it?]
Ning Wan hesitated after receiving a positive response. Looking at Shen Jingze in front of her, she felt that the man's thoughts seemed not difficult to understand. "Maybe later."
After all, there are only three times. Now that I have used it, I always feel like it is a waste.
Perhaps it was because it was too dark, Shen Jingze did not see Ning Wan shaking her head, and just thought it was Ning Wan's tacit agreement.
"The statue is just a dead object. All I ask for is psychological comfort. How could He understand human nature and know such things?" Shen Jingze looked at the statue and said something disparagingly: "It's just a pile of beautiful stones. Why should Miss Ning worry about embarrassing Him?"
Ning Wan was at a loss for words: It’s just a pile of stones, but they are beautiful stones?
Shen Jingze paused at this point, his face showing difficulty. After a long while, he spoke softly, "Miss Ning's words... are really hurtful."
Even when he was blaming the man outside the door, Shen Jingze's tone was extremely light, and no one could detect his annoyance at all.
Ning Wan also lowered her eyes at this moment, looking at the futon not far away, and continued:
"Feel sorry."
“But in Ning Wan’s heart, the statue that Master Shen mentioned is not a dead thing.”
“Mr. Shen said before that when it comes to matters concerning the gods, we only seek psychological comfort. You only believe that everything depends on human effort.”
Ning Wan raised her eyes, looked at Shen Jingze in the hall, and said calmly: "Now you are saying that this statue is just a dead object, just a beautiful stone. I wonder if Master Shen has ever heard that the gods will not bless those who are not sincere in their hearts?"
According to her character setting, Ning Wan, influenced by her adoptive father and brother, naturally has feelings for the statues in the palace that are different from those for ordinary dead objects.
Shen Jingze's words touched Ning Wan's sore spot, and she jumped around like crazy. How could Ning Wan not speak up to defend him?
"The gods will not bless those who are not sincere in their hearts?"
Shen Jingze looked at Ning Wan standing at the door and frowned slightly.
But Ning Wan didn't give Shen Jingze another chance to refute and turned away.
The wooden door, no longer restrained, slowly closed.
Shen Jingze looked at the empty hall, and then at the three half-burned incense sticks: So... whose heart is not sincere enough?
He chuckled. If it weren't him, if it were someone else, they would probably have been fooled by Ning Wan's words.
