Chapter 191: Trust, Sincerity (And Yongruis Backstory) (1/2)
My face reddened with embarassment, realizing that I was just accusing White of nothing. Here he was, sincerely going out of his way to save me some time, and then there's me, doing him injustice. He probably did that to help me finish all of my unfinished business as fast as possible and I wrongly indicted him of a crime he didn't even commit. Indeed, I sound like a very blameful man.
”T-t-thanks, you really found them.” I stammered as I transferred all the items in the storage ring he gave me.
”No, you can have the storage ring. I got it from your disciple, I think her name was Ye Zhi or something. She said it's an extra Storage Ring and I could use it.” White casually brushed off as he sat beside me. ”Are you feeling any better? I just witnessed something that shouldn't be witnessed. It was nothing short of a miracle indeed.”
”What do you mean?” I asked as I nervously gulped. Since I fell into unconsciousness before something happened, I have no idea what took place between Natalia, Zeng Meihui, and Xiang Xiaoqing.
”Oh, I just saw three girls fighting over the naked you, but that's beside the point haha.” White once again casually talked about a very sensitive topic in an indifferent manner. Seriously, how could this guy remain so calm while talking about these things?!
”In any case, how did you do that?” White continued.
”Do what?”
”You know, bring a zombie back to being a human.”
”Oh, so you saw that, huh. Did you tell anyone about it?” I asked, fully knowing that he must've relayed it to everyone in the Tang Shelter since it was an incredible feat. Even I don't know if there was someone who could do that in the past. Throughout the history of cultivation, I've never heard anyone healing an infected back to being human.
”No, I thought it'd be best if I didn't tell anyone. I also told that girl— Natalia, right? Yeah, I told her to not tell anyone about it. She agreed and decided to keep her mouth shut, all the while distancing herself from everybody else.”
”I see, thanks for that. I wouldn't want to be kept here so I could heal every rabid human they bring me. Good call, White.” I sighed in relief as I once again sank on the bed. Once again, I noticed the mysterious package wrapped with talismans. It was one of my most prized possession. Nothing could compare to it.
”When you brought that girl back, I thought that you were going to die. You purposefully destroyed your Original Qi Core and it almost lost all the Qi Energy it had in store. I was about to jump in and saved you but you started cultivating. Seeing you heal yourself that quickly made me back off a little. When I saw that, I immediately realized that you don't need my help.”
”To be honest, I really did almost die back then. If it weren't for my vast knowledge about cultivation, I would've died. Also, I did get some help but that's beside the point.” I told him. ”Well, back to your question, you wanted to know how I did it, right?”
White nodded.
