Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 116 What am I missing?
It’s an open challenge certified by the academy, so Tang Zheng’s contribution will naturally not be missing.
What's more, the person who is betting on the contribution of the academy is still in cold war, so it is even less likely that there will be any mistakes. The 10,200 contributions from the academy will not be reduced by him at all.
However, no matter how fast it is, it is impossible to transfer the case to him on the spot. At least the procedures have to be followed.
Therefore, facing Tang Zheng's nonsensical request, Li Xiaoren simply chose to ignore it. After announcing his victory, he glanced at Tang Zheng calmly and said, "Go back and take good care of your injuries. Come and report to me when you are well. Before you are well, it will be considered as your leave and not absent from class ."
After saying that, he walked down from the stage. At this moment, the doctor from the academy immediately followed and began to check Tang Zheng's injuries. Although he won this open challenge, his injuries were not much worse than those of Leng Zhan.
After examining Tang Zheng's injuries, the academy's doctor frowned, prescribed him a long list of various medicinal herbs, and told him that it would be best for him to lie still for a week before he could fully recover.
"Oh, by the way, I saw that some people were injured in the academy, and they were basically treated with drugs. Isn't there a way in Xingyao Continent to directly heal people... uh no, is there a way to directly use star power to heal the injured?" Tang Zheng asked curiously as he looked at the doctors in the academy busying around him.
The academy doctor heard Tang Zheng's question and said in surprise: "Of course there is. Hey, your injuries recovered so quickly before. Didn't you invite the warriors from Tianyi Valley to help you recover so quickly?"
When Tang Zheng heard what the academy doctor said, he scratched his head and said, "No, I took other methods... But, from what you said, only warriors from Tianyi Valley can use star power to treat the wounded?"
The academy doctor shook his head and said, "It's not that only the warriors in Tianyi Valley can do it. It's just that the way you mentioned of using star power to treat warriors requires special astrological signs and corresponding healing martial arts. Most of these warriors are from Tianyi Valley. As for warriors from other backgrounds who have similar abilities, they are basically rare. There are some, but I have never seen them, nor have I heard of them."
"By the way, the speed at which your previous injury healed was simply terrifying. Since it wasn't someone from Tianyi Valley who did it, what method did you use? Can you tell us about it?" The academy doctor asked curiously just after he finished speaking.
"Well, I relied on Brother Xinchun. It was Brother Xinchun who resurrected me with full health and mana..." Tang Zheng certainly couldn't let people know that he had such a perverted thing as the Drunken Flower King, so he could only laugh it off and dispel the academy doctor's strong desire for academic research.
After Tang Zheng was examined for his injuries by the academy's doctor, most of the students in the venue had already left. The remaining few who knew Tang Zheng, such as Li Wenqi, came up to greet Tang Zheng, expressed their congratulations and admiration, and then left one after another.
Only Tang Zheng, Xiaotang, who was like a family member to him, Ban Yilou and Xu Qingyan were left in the venue.
Leng Buchen, Li Xiaoren and Ouyang Luoluo also stayed. They also wanted to discuss with Tang Zheng how to deal with the issue of the "assassin" Ning Mo.
"Tang Zheng, now you have won the challenge. According to what you said before, you now have a chance to save Ning Mo's life. Are you sure you want to do this?" Leng Buchen walked to Tang Zheng, glanced at Ning Mo, who was being held aside by Li Xiaoren and kept his head down, and asked.
Tang Zheng grinned and said, "Of course, I spent a lot of effort to beat Leng Zhan's Pikachu to death. If Ning Mo is still killed by a knife, then my efforts would be in vain."
"Okay, then what is your suggestion?" Leng Buchen seemed to have known the answer and continued to ask.
"Well, before that, I would like to ask Instructor Ning a question, is that okay?" Tang Zheng asked.
Leng Buchen nodded to show that he had no objection, and glanced at Ning Mo next to him. Ever since Tang Zheng had proved in front of the entire academy that he was not Yingshan's man, Ning Mo had looked depressed and exhausted, so naturally he would not object to Tang Zheng's opinion.
After getting Leng Buchen's approval, Tang Zheng smiled and asked Ning Mo: "Instructor Ning, you hate Yingshan so much because your loved ones died at his hands. I understand your feelings, but... Yingshan is just a knife. A knife can't kill people by itself. If there is a knife, there must be a hand holding the knife. If you were given a choice, would you choose to destroy the knife that killed people, or cut off the hand that held the knife?"
Ning Mo was silent for a long time before he spoke: "If possible, I would naturally want to destroy the knife and chop off the hand behind the scenes, but what's the point of this metaphor? For so many years, I have never given up the investigation, but I can't even find the motive of the mastermind to kill my sister, let alone find the mastermind? The only thing I found out is that the person who did it was Yingshan's assassin..."
Tang Zheng smiled and said, "What if I can help you find the hand behind this?"
When Ning Mo heard Tang Zheng's words, his whole body suddenly shook. He looked up suddenly, and a glimmer of light rose in his eyes that had long been filled with despair. He looked like a drowning man who saw a life-saving straw: "Are you willing to help me? If you can really help me find the mastermind behind the murder of my sister, my life will be yours!"
Tang Zheng shook his finger and said with a smile: "No, no, no, you are wrong. Your life is now mine."
Ning Mo suddenly felt depressed. Tang Zheng was right. His life was indeed in Tang Zheng's hands. A single word could decide his life or death.
He racked his brains but couldn't think of anything he could offer as a bargain to get Tang Zheng to help him find clues to the mystery.
Based on his understanding of Tang Zheng in these days, he certainly knew how capable Tang Zheng was.
If he is willing to help, at least the chances of success will be much greater than if he does it alone.
However, after thinking about it , he realized that apart from his life, he seemed to have nothing of real value that could be traded with Tang Zheng.
Seeing Ning Mo's gradually sad expression, Tang Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, don't think about it. I have both money and love. What I lack is strength. I can't rely on others and can only practice on my own. So... what else do I lack ?"
Ning Mo looked up at Tang Zheng in confusion, not knowing how to answer.
Indeed, what else does a man like Tang Zheng lack? What else can impress him?
Before he could figure it out, Tang Zheng suddenly burst into laughter: "Of course I lack fun, and all the mysteries buried in the fog are themselves extremely fun."
