Chapter 1060: Striking Up a Conversation

Chapter 1060: Chapter 1060: Striking Up a Conversation

Two days later, when Wang Zhiying opened her eyes, she found herself lying on a soft hospital bed. A bouquet of fresh flowers was placed by the head of the bed, and their scent was refreshing.

"Where is this? How did I end up here?" A flash of confusion crossed Wang Zhiying’s eyes. She remembered being saved by that man?

Once she regained consciousness, Wang Zhiying noticed her original clothes had been replaced by a loose white outfit.

"Who... changed my clothes!" A thin trace of anger appeared on Wang Zhiying’s face. But upon realizing the emptiness in her Dantian, a hint of helplessness surfaced on her face, though her Dantian was not damaged, it would take at least a month to recover.

"You’re awake?" At this moment, a girl wearing a nurse uniform walked in: "I didn’t expect you to recover so quickly. I thought you would be unconscious for a long time."

Wang Zhiying looked at the young nurse and couldn’t help but ask, "You... who are you people? Where is this? And... who changed my clothes?"

The nurse laughed: "This is our Dragon Group Medical Center, and you were brought here by Elder Ling. As for your clothes... naturally, they were changed by our nurses."

Wang Zhiying secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She asked suspiciously, "Dragon Group? What is Dragon Group?"

The nurse asked curiously, "You don’t know Dragon Group?"

Wang Zhiying shook her head.

"Turns out you’re not from the organization, no wonder you look unfamiliar to me! Our Dragon Group is a special department tasked with safeguarding the security of Huaxia. As for the specifics, let Elder Ling explain to you." The nurse approached Wang Zhiying and removed a device from her wrist to examine it.

"You’re recovering well." The nurse said with a smile: "If you feel bored, you can take a walk outside, but don’t go too far. After all, your body is still weak. If you encounter any problem, pressing this button will alert our center’s staff to find you."

Saying this, the nurse fastened the device back onto Wang Zhiying’s wrist. The device was small and exquisite, much like a delicate bracelet.

"My name is Chen Jiamei, you can call me Jiamei from now on, and you?" the nurse asked with a smile.

The nurse’s smile was contagious, and Wang Zhiying couldn’t help but smile as well, "My name is Wang Zhiying."

...

Walking on the landscaped path outside the medical center building, Wang Zhiying was amazed at everything she saw.

Skyscrapers stood row upon row, crowds bustled back and forth, while occasionally the roar of airplanes echoed in the sky...

"I never imagined the outside world to be like this." Wang Zhiying was trying hard to digest everything she saw.

At this moment, a man’s voice came from behind Wang Zhiying: "Beautiful Miss, may I sit here?"

Wang Zhiying was sitting on a two-seater bench, and then a man sat beside her.

"No!" Wang Zhiying’s face turned cold, and she said in a chilly voice.

The man froze: "What?"

"Didn’t you ask if you can sit here?" Wang Zhiying said casually.

The man laughed: "Miss, you’re quite humorous!"

Saying this, the man sat beside Wang Zhiying. He had long noticed Wang Zhiying; after all, her demeanor and appearance were truly outstanding.

"I’m not familiar with you." Wang Zhiying frowned. She really disliked people who acted overly familiar, and she had a feeling that she disliked the scent this man carried.

"Through these interactions, we’ll get to know each other better, won’t we?" The man asked cheerfully, "Miss, how come I haven’t seen you before?"

Wang Zhiying frowned and ignored the man.

The man was unfazed, considering such an encounter with such a woman rare, a bit of attitude was only natural.

"Are you from Dragon Group too?" The man tried to make conversation, "How come I haven’t seen you before? I’m not boasting, but given my memory, if you were from Dragon Group, there’s no way I’d forget a beauty like you."

Wang Zhiying wasn’t interested in responding, but she had a thought: "You’re familiar with Dragon Group?"

"Of course!" The man grinned when he saw Wang Zhiying initiating conversation, "My name is Huang Yuan, Yuan as in fate, which shows our meeting is a precious fate... I wonder if Miss..."

Before he finished, Wang Zhiying interrupted him, asking, "Do you know Elder Ling here?"

"Elder Ling?" Huang Yuan frowned, "In Dragon Group, Elders are usually as elusive as dragons, as for Elder Ling... could you mean Ling Feng?"

"Ling Feng? Is he that twenty-something man?" Wang Zhiying pursued.

Huang Yuan’s mouth twitched: "The only Elder in his twenties is Ling Feng, Elder Ling Feng. Your relationship with Elder Ling..."

Huang Yuan inwardly wailed; finally meeting a stunning girl, only to find she was related to Elder Ling! Even if Huang Yuan had ten guts, he wouldn’t dare to compete with Ling Feng for a woman!

In the past year, Ling Feng’s renown in Dragon Group had grown stronger. Many long-standing Elders publicly praised Ling Feng, declaring he had surpassed them.

Huang Yuan was merely a B-level early stage cultivator, how could he have the courage to rival Ling Feng?

"Our relationship... let’s not talk about it!" Wang Zhiying said plainly, "But I’m very interested in Ling Feng, do you fear him?"

Huang Yuan’s mouth twitched: "Miss, it’s not that I fear him, but I respect him!"

"Respect?" Wang Zhiying was puzzled.

Huang Yuan said seriously: "Indeed, Elder Ling Feng is a model for the younger generation in Dragon Group, this matter dates back to a year ago..."

Soon, Huang Yuan recounted everything he knew from beginning to end. Naturally, he didn’t know everything, but he didn’t refrain from embellishing.

"That guy is actually that impressive." After listening, Wang Zhiying was a bit surprised.

While Wang Zhiying was deep in thought, Huang Yuan took the chance to leave. One shouldn’t mess with an idol’s woman, lest misunderstandings arise that couldn’t be easily explained.

Meanwhile, in Dragon Group, Long Guangyi said playfully: "Ling Feng, it’s said you’ve brought a pretty young girl back, you’re quite something."

Ling Feng was speechless: "Master, you should know that girl’s identity."

"From Holy Gate?"

Ling Feng nodded.

Long Guangyi was surprised: "Impressive indeed, I thought even if you were lucky enough to find the Holy Gate, they’d kick you out, but I didn’t expect you actually brought someone back."
