NOVEL NEXT Chapter 277: Half a Month in Advance
Wang Ye led Zhong Ling, Li Shuishui, and their group out of the teahouse.
On the twenty-fourth floor of a nearby building.
A Western man, holding a telescope, watched as Wang Ye led Zhong Ling, Li Shuishui, and their group out of the teahouse, with no one following to protect them.
Three minutes later, a minute had passed since Wang Ye and his group had left, but still, no one had come out to follow them.
"Interesting,"
the Western man said in fluent Dragon Country language.
Standing next to the Western man was a burly giant with a Western appearance, his body much more muscular than that of the first man, his upper body rippling with large muscles.
It was filled with a sense of power aesthetics.
"What's wrong?" the burly Western man asked.
"Wang Ye seems not to have sought Zhong Feng's help; none of Zhong Feng's people followed them," the Western man said while lifting his wine glass, gently shaking it a few times before drinking down all the red wine inside.
Using a handkerchief to wipe his hands, the Western man's every move exuded an extremely gentlemanly feeling.
"Such a foolish man from Dragon Country."
The burly Western man sneered and asked for instructions, "Shall I follow him now and get rid of him?"
"No need,"
the Western man waved his hand, "His action is not foolish; rather, it is clever."
"He is afraid that having too big of a target will prompt us to increase our manpower, which in turn could endanger Zhong Feng."
Although the Western man hadn't heard the conversation between Wang Ye and Zhong Feng, he could deduce what Wang Ye and Zhong Feng had talked about just from some of the clues he observed.
"Don't get rid of him yet. He's a good prospect; I'll see if we can recruit him into our Western Medicine camp,"
"If we can win over such a talent, let's try, but if we can't..."
The smile at the corner of the Western man's mouth turned cold, as he gently set the wine glass back down, giving off a decisive and resounding certainty:
"Then we'll just have to kill him!"
...
Kyoto Airport.
Before Wang Ye and his group had gotten out of the car, Zhong Ling, sitting in the passenger seat, looked through the front mirror at Wang Ye behind her and asked him,
"Master, are we going back directly after this?"
"Yes."
Wang Ye nodded, "Next, I have many things to do. There's nothing in Capital City that requires me to stay."
"Aren't you afraid of danger?"
Zhong Ling suddenly asked.
The driver was one of Zhong Feng's men, so there was no problem for Zhong Ling to discuss these issues with Wang Ye in the car.
"Why should I be afraid?"
Wang Ye asked in return, leaving Zhong Ling at a loss for words.
Wang Ye looked at Zhong Ling's reflection and chuckled, "You, knowing that I'm in danger recently, still choose to stay by my side. Aren't you afraid?"
"Tsk."
Zhong Ling snorted proudly:
"With you around, no matter how dangerous the situation, you'll protect me with your life and ensure nothing happens to me."
"You trust me a lot, and I trust myself just as much,"
Wang Ye said before turning his head to look at Li Shuishui, Zhao Tu, and God of Fortune Tang, then spoke to them:
"Originally, I gave you one month to decide whether you want to follow me."
"But as you can see, things are urgent, and I don't have the luxury of time for you to think and decide anymore."
Wang Ye left it at that.
Li Shuishui, God of Fortune Tang, and Zhao Tu knew immediately what Wang Ye was about to say next.
Without waiting for Wang Ye to finish his sentence, the expressions on the faces of Li Shuishui, God of Fortune Tang, and Zhao Tu all showed wild joy, as they exclaimed one after another:
"Master!"
"Master!"
"Master!"
All three spoke in unison, addressing Wang Ye as their master.
When Wang Ye heard the two words spoken in unison from their lips, he was slightly taken aback, but he quickly realized and seemed not too surprised by this.
However, Wang Ye still spoke to the three with a very serious demeanor:
"The fact that you three are still willing to stay by my side under these circumstances does not surprise me."
"But I still have to tell you something."
"Currently, due to the conflict between the Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine Associations, being by my side is very dangerous."
"And the three of you are originally students of Western Medicine, now learning Traditional Chinese Medicine by my side, the Western Medical Association will not allow the existence of people like you three, so when they come after me, if they get the chance, they will certainly come after you as well."
"It's not too late to back out now."
Wang Ye finished saying these words.
Then he lay back in his seat and closed his eyes.
Giving them a chance to think.
Wang Ye had to let them know the consequences of continuing to stay by his side and give them a chance to consider it.
However.
Wang Ye had just closed his eyes when he heard the voices of Li Shuishui, God of Fortune Tang, and Zhao Tu rise again:
"Master, there's no need to think any further, as long as you think we are worthy, then from now on we are your disciples."
"Right, what does it matter if there's danger? In Dragon Country, there's a saying, 'Upon hearing the Dao in the morning, one can die in the evening without regret.' Since we can learn from our master, then even if there is a risk of sacrifice, what does it matter to us?"
"Master, don't think of us as cowards, we are not cowards at all, and we three are not afraid of death."
Li Shuishui, Zhao Tu, and God of Fortune Tang each said in turn.
Although they had only been learning from Wang Ye for half a month.
But during this half-month period, the teaching from Wang Ye, along with the level of expertise he demonstrated in Traditional Chinese Medicine, had deeply impressed them.
They had always been looking forward to the coming of a full month.
Now.
It was only half a month, yet Wang Ye had given them an opportunity in advance, which also filled them with surprise.
Even if there was danger.
Listening to the words of the three, a smile also emerged on Wang Ye's face.
That the Traditional Chinese Medicine of Dragon Country could be so earnestly pursued and adored was both a source of pride and reassurance for Wang Ye.
Wang Ye chuckled:
"Disciples, let's return to Yun City together."
"Back to Yun City!"
Opening the car door.
Wang Ye was just about to leave, walking tall and proud, with Zhong Ling, God of Fortune Tang, Li Shuishui, and Zhao Tu to catch a plane.
That's when someone looked over towards Wang Ye.
In an instant, they recognized Wang Ye.
"Oh my God, it's Wang Ye!"
This exclamation of surprise made Wang Ye feel that something was not right.
