Wang Zheng poked at his chopsticks and asked, "Boss, you seem so busy, why didn't you hire anyone?"
Upon hearing someone speak to him, Ling Youjie instinctively turned his head.
"This little place is just for me all by myself... Wang Zheng!!! What brings you here!!!"
Ling Youjie was also full of surprise when he saw that Wang Zheng was sitting in front of him.
She was stunned for a while before she composed herself, looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, and then lowered her voice.
He never expected to run into Wang Zheng here.
Seeing Wang Zheng stand up with a smile, he first wiped his hands on his apron, then strode forward and gave Wang Zheng a bear hug.
"Thanks, bro!"
The man's voice trembled slightly, as if the long-awaited reunion had made him a little nervous.
It's unclear whether his words of thanks were for Wang Zheng saving his life or for remembering him.
After exchanging pleasantries, Ling Youjie first hung up the "Closed for Business" sign, and then the two sat down again.
At this moment, Ling Youjie said with some emotion:
"I didn't expect you to be so amazing in just over half a year. When I saw you win the martial arts tournament, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You've really brought honor to our Jingnan Military Region!"
At this point, Ling Youjie glanced around, then leaned closer and whispered:
"The Grandmaster Ranking has been updated, saying that you have successfully transcended the mortal realm and become a Grandmaster. Is that true?"
It wasn't that he didn't believe the country's data; he was just too shocked to accept it directly from Wang Zheng.
Seeing Wang Zheng nod, Ling Youjie's eyes were filled with nothing but admiration.
As a B-level mental awakener in his prime, he naturally knew how significant each advancement was at that level.
Not to mention that Wang Zheng broke through the barrier at the age of 17 and directly broke through to the extraordinary level.
The effort involved is something that most people can hardly comprehend.
But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. This kid dared to go out and train alone a long time ago, so it's normal for him to have achieved such success after such hard work in his cultivation.
After a long separation, the two talked more and more, about everything from their lives and careers to their families and studies.
However, the two of them tacitly avoided talking about the deceased You Dazhi and others, so as not to spoil the atmosphere of the reunion of old friends.
After a brief chat and catching up, Ling Youjie asked again:
"Was this trip just a passing by, or do you have some mission?"
Wang Zheng: "Couldn't I have come to see you? Really! Brother Ling, you left in such a hurry that I couldn't catch up, so I had to chase you all the way to these deep mountains..."
Haha, just kidding. I was originally in Anhui on a mission and was just passing through when I suddenly remembered you were here, so I thought I'd drop by.
"Oh dear, didn't we agree not to mention this anymore? I've already admitted my mistake, so please stop teasing me, brother. As for when you want to come, you're welcome anytime. My place is always ready to serve you!"
Ling Youjie quickly admitted his mistake, then casually asked:
"That's strange. Why is our Jingnan Military Region suddenly on a mission in Anhui and Hubei? And I remember you were in the special operations team, right?"
At this point, he seemed to suddenly remember something and patted his head.
"Hey~ Look at my memory, don't mind it, I was just talking to myself, I didn't mean to find out about your mission. By the way, do you have enough noodles? I'll get you some more..."
"Mmm...mmm, no more noodles, add more meat instead, this beef tastes really good!"
Seeing Wang Zheng's expression, Ling Youjie scooped up another large spoonful of beef, almost covering the noodles in the bowl.
Wang Zheng didn't stand on ceremony and continued to eat heartily, mumbling indistinctly as he ate:
"It's not an important mission. Actually, I came here mainly for you, Brother Ling."
"For me?"
Ling Youjie was somewhat puzzled.
After swallowing the beef stuffed in his mouth, Wang Zheng said seriously:
"After my strength improved, I gained some benefits, and as you know, I was originally a healing-type awakened being, and now my abilities have become even stronger after my transformation into a mortal. So I thought I'd see if I could help you restore your mental strength..."
