Chapter 42 - Uneasiness (1/2)

Ye Xiao returned to his room and started to calculate the data.

‘Huan Liuli is at Xiantian first grade, and the recovery time was around five seconds. I’m at Xiantian third grade, and the recovery time was around twenty seconds.’

According to the division of strength based on the grade, it was roughly twice as long as the previous one.

Therefore, that was how Ye Xiao could estimate the recovery speed of his injuries.

However, that recovery speed would gradually increase with the advancement in cultivation.

It was still fine when the level was low, but when the level becomes higher, it will be very disadvantageous in battle.

As expected, those who did not spend money always had the bumpiest road.

‘I hope that the effect will be better after the synthesis.’

..

The night passed quickly. The next day, Ye Xiao got up and went to work.

Just as he finished buying breakfast near the library, a garrison car stopped by the roadside. The window rolled down, revealing Gu Hai’s head.

“Old Ye! Over here.”

Ye Xiao walked over with a bun in his hand. Gu Hai poked his body out of the window, grabbed a bok choy bun, and chewed it up in a big mouthful.

“I’m starving. Let me eat this first.”

Ye Xiao glanced around and saw that Gu Hai was fully armed. For some reason, he had a bad feeling.

“What’s going on? You’re dressed so formally. You’ve only been at work for two days, and you’re already going on a mission?”

“That’s right. Do you still remember that case from a few days ago?”

“The soul infection one?”

“Yes, that’s it. A martial artist in the garrison team used the spirit search technique to find the origin and confirm its location. We’re preparing to rush over.”

The garrison team member beside him patted his shoulder.

“Brat, this is a secret operation. Don’t talk nonsense.”

Gu Hai waved his hand.

“It’s alright. Old Ye is one of us.”

After saying that, he took out two steamed buns from Ye Xiao’s convenience bag and handed one to the other.

“Here, plug up that hole of yours.”

“You degenerate.”

The other scolded with a smile as they took the steamed bun and started chewing.

Ye Xiao, on the other hand, frowned and said,

“This is your first mission so be careful. Since the enemy knows how to use spiritual techniques, their cultivation is probably not low.”

“Don’t worry, our garrison team isn’t weak either. Let’s go, we’ll hang out once I return.”

“Got it, have a safe trip.”

Gu Hai chuckled, closed the window, started the car, and left.

Ye Xiao kept feeling a little uneasy, so he used a wisp of spiritual energy on Gu Hai’s body to determine his position.

If Gu Hai was in trouble, he would be able to easily locate him.

After that, Ye Xiao entered the library, clocked in for work, and continued to practice his healing skills.

Soon, two days passed.

Ye Xiao found two more healing cultivation techniques, reaching seven basic healing cultivation techniques. His recovery speed was faster, but it was not yet the time for synthesis.

Ye Xiao estimated that the synthesis of healing cultivation techniques would probably require nine to ten basic healing cultivation techniques.

However, it did not matter how long it would take.

He, who was a laid-back optimist, was not overly anxious.

On the other hand, there had been no news from Gu Hai ever since he went out on that mission.

Thinking about it carefully, the mastermind behind that should not be too far away from Jianghai city if he wanted to deal with it, right?

However, he could not find anyone to ask about that matter either. He wanted to give Lu Wanwan a call, but he did not know her phone number.

As for paying her a visit… Forget it. Gu Hai went out on a mission so if he went to his house alone… What would that look like?

A visit to a friend’s wife?

It was not appropriate.

Ye Xiao did not think too much about it and prepared to wait.

In any case, he was now a member of the garrison team. If something happened to the garrison team, he would definitely inform his family members in time.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed by again, and he got off work on Friday night.

Tomorrow was Saturday, and it was the full moon celebration for Old Wang’s grandson.
