Chapter 72: For Tomorrow (5)
Night falls.
In the city of Wei filled with cries of complaints, a dark shadow sat on the railing of a high tower. This was the tower that Guisha had brought Yin Yin to during the day. Another dark shadow suddenly appeared beside him, but he seemed indifferent?
"I didn't expect you to come back to this place."
"King Zhao sent you, right?"
"Um."
The thin moonlight seeped through the clouds and sprinkled on the two people in the tower. The one sitting on the guardrail was Guisha, and the other was Wang Ye...
"So what do the King of Zhao's people want from me?"
As soon as Wang Ye appeared, the ghost seemed to have known what Zhao Ziheng meant.
"You should know this without me having to tell you, right? My Lord hopes that you, with your extraordinary medical skills, can lend a hand."
"Humph, as a king of another country, you actually want to interfere in the affairs of another country. Isn't King Zhao too arrogant?"
"Well, my lord thinks that as long as we are civilians, there should be no national boundaries. When one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid. My lord also has good intentions. At the same time, my lord is a person who loves talents. If you have such medical skills and skills, you should be able to help, not to mention serving, right? Just like he did to Princess Zhaoren."
From the conversation with Wang Ye, Guisha clearly felt that Wang Ye was not an ordinary person. It was not because he was with Zhao Ziheng, but because of Wang Ye himself who made him feel this way.
"Who are you?"
"As you know, he is a medical practitioner like you."
"...You know me?"
"There's no reason not to know, right? Although the people of the world only know the miraculous doctor Xue Han, there is another person in the martial arts world whose name is little known but whose strength is unquestionable, especially after seeing the princess, right? The people in the martial arts world call him the Ghost Doctor."
Wang Ye's words shook Gui Sha like a startling sentence. He had never seen someone like this before, but he knew everything, as if he saw through everything. No, that couldn't be said. Wang Ye was the second person in his life who made him feel this way. He made him feel fearful. Wang Ye's impression on people was so plain, but why did he give people such an invisible sense of oppression? Or should we say that it was because he was not impressive enough that people felt afraid? This formed a clear contrast with the other person Gui Sha knew.
"You are a terrible person."
"Thank you."
"Since you know my words, you should also know my principles."
"You've only saved someone from death once?"
The principle mentioned by Guisha was stated lightly. Let’s not talk about how Wang Ye knew it. However, what kind of meaning did the principle itself contain?
"So the princess does fit the description, but it wasn't the case when you saved her, right ?"
Seeing through the ghost demon's violation of his principles, Wang Ye spoke out without any hesitation, which made it difficult for the ghost demon to refute for a while.
"Since we've already set a precedent, how about breaking it again?"
"Don't be ridiculous. There's no reason for me to do that, right? Besides, you have the same abilities as Xue Han, who is known as the miracle doctor. Why would you look for me?"
"Of course it's because I think highly of your ability and I am very confident about it."
This simple sentence left Guisha completely speechless. If it was just sarcasm or flattery, it would be fine, but there was no falsehood in Wang Ye's expression. At the same time, he was moved by his praise. This was the first time he felt this way.
"…I refuse."
After a moment's thought, Guisha decisively refused, then stood up from the guardrail, walked past Wang Ye and prepared to leave.
"You won't say no."
Wang Ye’s words made Guisha stop.
"Why are you so sure?"
“Feel it.”
Hearing Wang Ye's words as if it was a matter of course, Guisha couldn't help but feel angry and clenched his fists.
"Isn't that right? As long as the princess is still here, as long as she wants to save those people, will you still be a bystander?"
It was as if he could see through the ghost's mind, penetrate his thoughts, and make his anger burn even more vigorously.
"Who cares about that stupid woman? She herself could die at any time, yet she actually breaks into a place like this and acts like a pushover."
"...Did you find out too?"
Guisha remained silent in response to Wang Ye's questions, with an unwilling expression under his mask, but what did they mean by what they said?
"So you are also attracted to her nature, right? What do you think? In order to help her get out of this bad situation as soon as possible, do you want to work together?"
The ghost clenched his fists even tighter, showing his unwillingness even more.
In a deserted area in Weicheng, in a house, Yinyin has woken up from her dream...
"Where is this place? Why are you here?"
"This is Weicheng. Of course I'm here to find you, Princess—"
After waking up, Yinyin still felt unfamiliar with the surroundings. The only person who made her feel at ease was the first person she saw after opening her eyes...Xiuying!
"Weicheng? You too??"
"Yes, I was really worried about you, Princess. I'm so glad you're safe."
"I?"
Reuniting with Xiuying should have been a happy event, but now Yinyin was facing too many things, too many for her to think about and figure out one by one, but there was only one thing she still remembered, that was...
"Where is Prince Jing?"
Putting aside everything and her own pain, Yinyin asked Xiuying directly about Zhou Yan's whereabouts.
"That... I don't know either."
"have no idea?"
Yinyin's thoughts suddenly eased, because she suddenly realized that she hadn't figured out anything yet. She fainted after the tower was attacked, so how was she saved? She hadn't even thought about the most basic question of why Xiuying was here. Suddenly realizing that there were so many things to think about, Yinyin felt a throbbing pain in her head.
