NOVEL NEXT Chapter 316: Never Tiring of It
At this moment, Wang Ye had an ethereal quality about him.
He was summing up everything he had learned in the past few days.
"Initially, even if Master hadn't passed the Immortal Emperor Scripture to me, I still wanted to break through as a first-class warrior and search for my parents. Now that Master has imparted the Immortal Emperor Scripture to me, naturally, I am even more determined to go!"
"But... if that's the case, why did Master tell me it's okay to focus on cultivation and then ask me to leave the mountain?"
Thinking of this, Wang Ye was filled with confusion.
Just then, a voice rang out.
"Without experiencing the world, how can one understand their heart? If you don't experience the warmth and coldness of humanity and know the mundanity of life, how can you understand where the significance of power lies?"
This voice made Wang Ye, who was sitting, stand up instantly!
This voice was not his master's.
It was someone else's voice.
A completely unfamiliar voice!
Wang Ye had never heard this voice before!
Moreover, those thoughts he had just now were merely his own, never spoken aloud.
Could the other person detect his thoughts?
Realizing this, Wang Ye quickly adopted the cautious mindset Elder Wang Yifeng had taught him before, not letting the other catch any hint of his thoughts.
"The young fellow is quite vigilant."
After adopting a cautious attitude, the voice spoke again.
Wang Ye did not respond.
Until now, he didn't know when exactly the other party had arrived while he was distracted thinking about his issues, or how much of his thoughts the other party had heard.
The other party seemed to have realized Wang Ye's concerns, and said, "Don't worry, I just sensed something unusual here, so I came just now. The thoughts you just had, I only caught some of them, I missed everything from before."
A silhouette appeared behind Wang Ye, enveloped in a layer of holy light, obscuring his features and only allowing his outline to be vaguely discerned.
This figure surveyed the surroundings, uttered a soft "Huh," and said, "I hadn't realized there was such a unique place here before."
"I can sense from here that a very powerful being once resided in this place."
The figure looked at Wang Ye and upon seeing Wang Ye's face clearly, exclaimed another soft "Huh" and said, "I know you, your name is Wang Ye, you are highly skilled in medicine. Elder Zhong has mentioned you to me, at that time Elder Zhong even sought my help to find some people to protect you, but indeed no one was available."
The stranger spoke casually, seemingly unafraid of revealing his identity to Wang Ye.
Listening to the stranger, Wang Ye began to speculate about his identity.
Elder Zhong sought him out?
To arrange protection for him?
Just from this, Wang Ye could infer that the other was a significant figure.
In Dragon Country, he held no small status.
"You don't seem to like talking much?" After saying a few words without any reply from Wang Ye, the figure inquired.
Wang Ye rolled his eyes in response to the figure's remark.
Not fond of talking?
By himself, at home, suddenly an uninvited guest arrives, and this guest's strength vastly surpasses his own.
In such a situation, anyone would be thinking of analyzing the identity of this uninvited guest and deciding the next course of action, rather than just chatting with him.
"How can I talk to you, and what about, if I'm unsure of your identity or whether you're friend or foe? Talk about life's aspirations?" Wang Ye spoke somewhat helplessly, feeling that this person might be somewhat lacking in intelligence.
"Ah… forgot that point, hahaha!"
The figure laughed dryly, the type of laugh that even Wang Ye could tell was tinged with embarrassment.
"..."
"I haven't chatted with someone casually in a while, so I might not know how to make conversation," the figure explained:
"However, kid, you have strong capabilities in medicine, but you're also powerful in the strength hierarchy. Would you be interested in joining the official ranks?"
As the other person spoke these words, likely fearing Wang Ye's refusal, they added:
"With your abilities, plus your talent, by joining the officials, just based on these alone, you could achieve a high position that others would have to work long and hard for. And because you already have a reputation, even if you assume a very important position within the official ranks, no one would have anything to say about it."
The person seemed to possess the ability to directly change someone's fate with their words, and having long held a high position, their tone was exceedingly calm, as if they didn't realize the weight of what they were saying.
"Forget it."
Wang Ye shook his head and said, "Didn't you just say that I still need to leave the mountain to experience life among the mortals? I feel like I'm enjoying life among them already, so I won't go."
Perhaps realizing that, although he couldn't see clearly who the person in front of him was, the other party wouldn't harm him, Wang Ye spoke much more freely.
At this time, even in refusing the other party, Wang Ye made it sound like a joke.
The figure was slightly stunned by Wang Ye's words.
Whether it was because they hadn't expected that such favorable conditions would be rejected by Wang Ye, or because they hadn't expected Wang Ye to use the same words they had initially spoken to him as a reason for refusal.
After a brief moment of surprise, the figure laughed and said, "Alright, if you don't want to join, then let it be. But if you ever wish to join, you can contact Elder Zhong at any time to inform me, and you're always welcome."
"Also."
After saying that, the figure spoke again:
"If there's anything you need help with, you can also tell Elder Zhong, and then I can help you."
"How would that help?"
"Just like when Elder Zhong told you that I needed some help here, but you couldn't send any people to assist, that kind of help?" For some reason, Wang Ye always enjoyed ad-libbing with the stranger, catching them off guard.
In this situation.
Wang Ye actually felt a sense of enjoyment in doing this.
The figure was indeed caught off guard by Wang Ye's remark.
Eventually, the figure said to Wang Ye, "If you need it, I can personally take action."
