Chapter 414
Yue Kaishan looked embarrassed. "Sister Liuli, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
"Yes, let me see what kind of deity has made you stand here for three days and three nights, unable to budge no matter how I try to pull you." Her tone was tinged with anger, but to Zhong Ming it sounded like...
"It's alright, Brother Yue, I'm fine now. I just need to rest. I'll trouble you to stay at the door. You should go and rest too." (Go out quickly and comfort her!)
However, Yue Kaishan didn't understand his meaning at all and still said in a muffled voice, "Sister Liuli, why don't you take a look at my brother's body? Your medical skills are excellent, I trust you."
"What nonsense! What do you mean, 'I'll take a look at your brother's body'?"
"Ouch, look at my mouth, let my brother take a look at his body." Yue Kaishan shrank his head. Usually, he would have been getting a hard beating on the head by now, but today, the face of Brother Cuihong was still very useful.
Zhong Ming: Do you think I can just let anyone see my body?! Oh well, I was seen naked on the way back anyway, I'm tired, it doesn't matter anymore...
Thirty minutes later, she frowned and began to give Zhong Ming a long list of things he couldn't do. Yue Kaishan stood guard outside for a while, but after eighteen minutes, he started peeking inside.
"Sister Liuli, are you done?"
"Alright, your brother's most critical situation has passed. He'll recover after a few days of rest."
She closed her medical kit and saw Yue Kaishan walk in with a letter in his hand.
"Brother Cuihong, a letter has arrived from home. My great-grandfather has personally replied." He waved the envelope in his hand, unwrapped the yellow paper, and read aloud:
"The Guo family has gone too far. From now on, the Yue family will be their sworn enemy. Your uncle has already gone to inquire, and that entire family has fled. They will notify us as soon as they have any news. Also..."
Yue Kaishan's recitation came to an abrupt halt, and then his eyes widened as if he couldn't believe what was written there.
"what happened?"
“Brother Cuihong, um... do you remember when my cousin reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, my great-grandfather hurriedly found him a partner so he could break through by dual cultivation?”
"Yes, I remember, weren't we the best men? Brother Yue Xingtian is so lucky, his wife is such a nice person."
Zhong Ming vaguely sensed something.
"My great-grandfather wants to find you someone from my wife's family too."
“Miss Yue? This… there’s really no rush. I still have reservations about this…” Zhong Ming said, then noticed that Yue Kaishan’s expression was a bit off.
"what happened?"
"She can't be considered a girl... Let me think, she should be... my dad's... aunt."
Zhong Ming's mind was also in a daze for a moment; the generational order seemed a bit confusing.
"My aunt seems to have reached the ninth level of Qi Refining... I think." Yue Kaishan wasn't even sure if his great-grandfather intended to help the two of them break through together, or if he simply wanted to use a "honey trap" to completely win over Master Cuihong to the Yue family's camp.
Zhong Ming realized what he meant, chuckled, and said, "So, your great-grandfather intends for you to... call me grandpa?"
This matter was so outrageous that Yue Kaishan repeatedly opened his eyes and reread the entire text.
While suppressing a laugh, "Sister Liuli" added, "A difference of several decades... isn't that significant for someone in the Foundation Establishment stage..."
Zhong Ming quickly refused: "No, no, you can tell your grandfather that I have no interest in this now. I'm young and impetuous. I can buy Foundation Establishment Pills in the military camp. I've accumulated enough military merit points. I don't need him to worry about it."
Yue Kaishan nodded mechanically, and then, under Zhong Ming's order to leave, walked out of the ward step by step.
His worldview had just been shattered by a punch, crumpled into a ball and then flattened again, leaving him feeling somewhat... unsettled.
Zhong Ming couldn't help but mutter, "What a stubborn old man who would do anything for his family."
......
In the days that followed, all his acquaintances came to visit him. More than ten days later, even Zhang Youcai was able to enter, which showed that the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the camp had suppressed their injuries and the level of vigilance had truly returned to normal.
His last day in the hospital was also the last time his brother visited.
"I brought you a gift," Chen Dahai said.
The flames burning on his legs seemed to have grown brighter, making him hesitant to go out too much, as they were too conspicuous. The large crossbow on his wheelchair had more bolt boxes on the side, and a storage bag was hanging there for easy access.
"You look great, Dahai." Zhong Ming joked. The man in front of him, who had been looking miserable, had changed his hairstyle, making him look even more melancholy. Maybe some female cultivators would actually like this look.
"So, what is the gift?"
"Behind me."
Zhong Ming turned his head, looking around. "Isn't that the back of a wheelchair behind you? And what... a wheelchair?"
Another wheelchair.
"This is....."
"The spare wheelchair that my teacher's wife made for me is the perfect gift for you."
"I really... thank you so much."
Today, Zhong Ming was discharged from the hospital.
He was still unhappy when he was put in the wheelchair, but he quickly changed his mind.
Because Chen Dahai had obviously been planning this for a long time.
"Tempering Rainbow".
"Ah."
Want to try speeding up?
There is no reason to refuse.
Behind Chen Dahai's wheelchair is a super acceleration system.
Now, the two wheelchairs are connected one in front of the other by chains reinforced with spirit patterns. Chen Dahai is already very skilled at driving at high speed. He taps his hand lightly, and the entire wheelchair vibrates.
"let's go!"
The two sped off, racing through the camp. With superb skills and a level of proficiency honed from countless practice runs along the marked routes, they darted erratically around the various camp buildings. The wind whipped across their faces, and amidst the howling wind, hearty laughter echoed.
"Gale, who is your master!"
"You should ask the fire on your feet!"
"That's what you call being energetic and dynamic!"
The two ran wildly all the way to the place that Zhong Ming usually least wanted to go.
Someone has been waiting for you for a long time.
Zhong Ming looked up and saw... the dining hall.
My 134th Battalion's top-notch chef with spiritual roots has been waiting for a long time.
The moment Zhong Ming's eyes met Chen Dahai's, a thousand words flashed through his mind.
Zhong Ming: I have no grudge against you, why would you harm me?
Chen Dahai: Nothing special, the price is just right.
