Upon hearing Wang Zheng's words, Ling Youjie was taken aback, his expression becoming somewhat complicated.
He seemed unwilling to recall what had happened. After sighing, he sat down again and calmly began to speak:
"Wang Zheng, I'm already very happy that you have such a heart, and I'm genuinely happy for your achievements."
As long as you still consider me an old friend, that's enough. I'm doing just fine with my life now.
Forget it. Even if I could recover, I wouldn't want to go back. If I really had that kind of thought, I wouldn't have retired from the military region in the first place.
You should focus your energy on yourself and not feel guilty. My situation is not your responsibility, so you don't need to take it to heart. Brother Ling has already let it go..."
Wang Zheng was actually prepared for Ling Youjie's rejection, so he didn't say much and continued to eat.
I must say, this noodle dish actually tastes pretty good.
"Brother Ling, another bowl, extra beef and less noodles!"
While Ling Youjie turned around to serve the noodles, Wang Zheng continued to persuade him.
"Brother Ling, to be honest, I never intended to persuade you to go back. Actually, I also think it's quite nice to open a small noodle shop here. It's easy and comfortable, not to mention you have this skill."
But after all, Gushan Town is the base for most adventurers entering the mountains, so there are too many people coming and going in this small town. Moreover, I saw that there were quite a few awakened people in this small shop. If I were to run into someone who was not discerning, it would be troublesome.
I have no other purpose than to help you recover from your injuries. I'm not here on behalf of the military region to persuade you to go back. In these chaotic times, it's better to have an extra means of survival..."
Before he could even refute, Wang Zheng's scanner swept over him.
Perhaps it was because he had once been an awakened being of the mental type, or perhaps it was because this mental scan was too powerful.
At this moment, Ling Youjie, who had become an ordinary person, trembled slightly when the scanner was activated, as if he had sensed Wang Zheng's mental perception.
When faced with this guy's unusual behavior, Wang Zheng was initially surprised and exclaimed "Huh?", but after seeing the other person's mental attributes, he felt relieved.
"It seems his mental strength is too low; even the slight fluctuations from the scan have caused him discomfort..."
It's no wonder Wang Zheng would think that way. Given Wang Dashao's current state of mind, there are very few Grandmasters who can sense his scanning fluctuations, let alone Ling Youjie, whose peak level was only B and who is now severely injured.
At this moment, on the data panel in front of him, Ling Youjie's spiritual energy limit had plummeted to just over one hundred points.
Overall, his five-dimensional attributes are not low, but his mental strength was reduced to only three points after the self-destruction, which is worse than that of an ordinary person.
It's no wonder he couldn't handle the stimulation of the scan.
Fortunately, his foundation is still there, and his other four attributes are all around ten points, so overall he is much stronger than the average person.
In other words, he is in good health and his life is not in any major danger.
But that's all there is to it.
On the other hand, the reason why Wang Zheng was so concerned about this matter was that he felt he bore some responsibility for the injury suffered by the other man.
Secondly, it was because of Chu Tianxing that the Crimson Flame Eagle King relentlessly pursued the transport plane that had already flown far away, even chasing it out of its own territory.
Moreover, if Young Master Wang could save even a Grandmaster like Chu Tianxing whose brain core was shattered, what is an ordinary B-level Awakener?
It was just something I did casually.
In Wang Zheng's view, eating a few fruits that can increase mental strength, then infusing some liquid spiritual energy, and then absorbing it with high-level spiritual energy crystals or demon king inner cores would be a good idea.
With this setup, what chance do even A-level awakeners have, let alone B-level ones!
It won't be long before I'm fully recovered, and it's even possible that I'll break through my previous strength bottleneck!
Fortunately, Young Master Wang only went through his treatment plan in his mind and did not put it on the table, otherwise Ling Youjie would probably be scared to death by his extravagant spending.
Even after hearing Ling Youjie insist that there was no need to waste time and that he would let it go, Wang Zheng was not discouraged.
Anyway, judging from the mission he received, Young Master Wang, he would have to stay in this temporary base for at least a few months. Since the distance between them wasn't far, there would be plenty of time to get to know each other slowly.
Besides, there are too many people around here, and he can't just grab someone on the street and offer to treat them.
Not only should one not flaunt their wealth, but if someone actually did that, tomorrow's news would be filled with stories of a "poisonous milk master" feeding people in the street.
"Hiccup~"
After finishing the noodles in a few bites, Young Master Wang held the large bowl with both hands and drank the soup in one gulp, letting out a satisfied burp.
"Ah—that was so satisfying!"
Having taken advantage of Ling Youjie, who seemed unsure of what to do, Wang Shao looked at him and was about to speak when he noticed his communicator starting to flash.
Knowing that it was someone sent from the base who had arrived, he stopped worrying about it, wiped his mouth casually, and said to Ling Youjie:
"Brother Ling, why don't you think about this again? There's no rush. I'll be staying here for a while longer, and I'll come back when I have time."
Actually, the small amount of energy consumed during treatment is really nothing to me right now. You don't need to worry about it; just consider it as putting my mind at ease..."
After saying that, Wang Zheng didn't care what the man was thinking. He patted the man on the shoulder and then turned and left with a flourish.
Halfway there, Wang Shao seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around and whispered to Ling Youjie:
"Oh right, Brother Ling, I almost forgot to tell you, I've already killed that Crimson Flame Eagle. I've ground it to dust inside and out, not a single trace left..."
After saying that, Young Master Wang didn't linger and disappeared down the street in no time.
However, even the meticulous young master Wang failed to notice that when he disappeared into the crowd, Ling Youjie, who was still standing there watching the direction he left from afar, had a trace of worry in his eyes.
Ling Youjie stood there blankly for a long time without saying a word. After a while, he covered his head and slumped down, tears streaming down his face.
Clearly, the matter from back then has not been completely forgotten as he claims.
After an unknown amount of time, the man finally stood up again. The worry in his eyes had completely disappeared, leaving only an unwavering determination!
