Chapter 1061: Chapter 1061 I Am a Good Person
Ling Feng said irritably, "What do you mean I even brought people here? Iâm having a headache right now."
"What are you worried about? Isnât dealing with women your forte?" Long Guangyi said playfully, "The people at the medical center just reported that the woman you brought has woken up. Do you want to go see her?"
Ling Feng shook his head. Facing Long Guangyiâs malicious teasing, Ling Feng couldnât be bothered to talk to him.
"Donât look so upset." Long Guangyi said with a smile, "I saw that young lady, she indeed looks pretty good. But unfortunately, sheâs severely injured now, otherwise Iâd fancy testing her skills."
"Sheâs not your match." Ling Feng said indifferently.
Long Guangyi rolled his eyes, "Of course, she couldnât even beat you, so sheâs certainly not my match! But she is a disciple of the Holy Gate, which surely possesses some extraordinary Cultivation Technique. Iâd quite like to witness it."
Ling Feng shrugged, then turned to leave.
"Where are you going?"
"Going to see how sheâs doing."
...
Half an hour later, Ling Feng sat by Wang Zhiyingâs bedside, with a warm smile, he said, "Hello, itâs nice to see you again. Let me formally introduce myself, my name is Ling Feng."
Wang Zhiying looked at Ling Fengâs smiling face and sighed slightly, saying, "My name is Wang Zhiying."
Ling Feng was taken aback, Wang Zhiyingâs current attitude was much better than before, so good that Ling Feng almost couldnât believe it.
"Whatâs with your expression?" Wang Zhiying said, frowning at Ling Feng.
Ling Feng laughed, "Your change in attitude surprises me. I thought youâd see me and start shouting for a fight or something!"
Wang Zhiying snorted, "I drove you away before because our Holy Gate doesnât like outsiders coming in, but... you saved me, and Iâm not someone who repays kindness with vendetta!"
Ling Feng relaxed his heart. Although he had fought with Wang Zhiying before, it seemed Wang Zhiying wasnât unreasonable at all.
"How is Miss Wang feeling now?" Ling Feng asked.
Wang Zhiying shook her head, "The strength in my body is completely depleted, it might take a long time to recover unless I find a Cave Heaven and Blessed Land full of Vital Energy, otherwise..."
Speaking of which, Wang Zhiying shook her head, with a hint of resentment, "I never expected that the outside world has become so deficient in Vital Energy!"
Ling Feng smiled wryly and tentatively asked, "So, your Holy Gate must be located in a Cave Heaven and Blessed Land, right? Should I take you back?"
Wang Zhiying glanced at Ling Feng, sneering, "I knew you had a heart that wonât rest until dying. Are you trying to find the location of the Holy Gate through me? I tell you, youâre dreaming!"
"Miss, I think you might be misunderstanding me!" Ling Feng tried to explain, "Iâm actually a good person."
"A liar doesnât have the word âliarâ written on their forehead!" Wang Zhiying retorted, "I donât care what your purpose is, thereâs no way youâll find our Holy Gate. You better give up on that!"
Ling Feng asked, somewhat puzzled, "Miss, why is that? You should at least give me a reason, right? Wasnât the Holy Gate always the Guardian of Huaxiaâs order? Why is there such aversion to outsiders now? Is it really because of that incident from hundreds of years ago?"
Wang Zhiying snorted coldly, "The betrayal hundreds of years ago is just one of the reasons, but our Holy Gate doesnât want to get entangled with the worldly cause and effect because weâve grown weary of the endless chaos and slaughter."
"Grown weary?" Ling Feng was somewhat confused.
Wang Zhiying nodded, "Yes, I once asked my master this question, and thatâs what my master told me. Looking over several thousand years of Huaxiaâs history, which dynasty can stand for a thousand years? Our Holy Gate indeed wanted to end chaos before, but we discovered it was useless! Even a temporary end would soon usher in new chaos, peopleâs desires are endless."
Ling Feng paused, "So thatâs the reason... I thought it was..."
Wang Zhiying said, "Moreover, our Holy Gate indeed grew tired of this Guardian role, which is why the Holy Gate doesnât like outsiders finding us."
Though Wang Zhiying explained clearly, Ling Feng still felt there was something unsaid in her words! Although Wang Zhiyingâs words seemed reasonable, the cycles of division and unification are steps that historical development must go through.
If this was the reason for the Holy Gateâs withdrawal from the world, they should have long been disillusioned. How could they have lasted for several thousand years? There must be some unknown secrets!
However, Wang Zhiyingâs gaze was clear and didnât seem like she was lying, which suggests even Wang Zhiying might not know the real reason for the Holy Gateâs reclusion.
"So what are you planning to do?" Ling Feng asked calmly, "It was a critical situation before, I had no choice but to bring you back. You must be eager to return to the Holy Gate now, right?"
A cunning gleam flashed in Wang Zhiyingâs eyes, "Eager to return to the Holy Gate? Iâd love to return, but now my strength is completely lost, I have the heart but not the strength. Only when I regain my strength can I go back. So, in the meantime... I hope Ling Feng you can take care of me!"
Ling Feng felt something was amiss, "So you mean..."
"The Vital Energy here is so scarce, it will take a long time for me to recover my strength, so during this period, Iâve decided to have you protect me until Iâm fully recovered."
Ling Feng was somewhat surprised, "Youâre not worried that Iâm a bad guy? You really have a big heart."
"You saved me!" Wang Zhiying said earnestly, "I have never left the Holy Gate before. Since you saved me, brought me back, I can only trust and rely on you! You surely wonât abandon me, right?"
Ling Fengâs mouth twitched, that term âabandonâ seemed inappropriate here, didnât it?
But Wang Zhiyingâs words were not without reason, and Ling Feng also wanted to get more information about the Holy Gate from Wang Zhiying! If possible, obtaining the Holy Gateâs Cultivation Technique from Wang Zhiying would be quite ideal, though the possibility was indeed very low.
After pondering a bit, Ling Feng said, "In that case, letâs go, the Vital Energy around my place is relatively abundant, which should help with your recovery. I hope you can recover soon."
Thinking it over, only the villa was most suitable for Wang Zhiying to heal, though it might cause discontent among the other few women, but thatâs not a concern now!
