Chapter 544: Chapter 224: Seeing Wei Zhengqing Again_2

After everything was in order, Lin Jing stood up and said to Lin Jue and Ye Yun:

“I plan to first go see my friend with her. What about the two of you? Do you want to come with me, or do you want to go see the place where you once lived?”

Lin Jue’s grandfather’s old rented courtyard in the slums had already been bought by Lin Jue a long time ago.

It was to keep a memory alive, with the hope that one day they could return to take a look.

Lin Jue pondered for a moment before speaking:

“Brother…”

“You go ahead; I plan to first visit Grandpa’s courtyard and then the places we used to stay when we were children. After we’ve visited those places, we’ll come and find you.”

Lin Jing nodded and said:

“Okay…”

Then,

Lin Jing had Wei Siyue give Lin Jue their home address.

Back at the entrance to Fang Market, the group said goodbye to ‘Uncle Lian’ and then went their separate ways, leaving the market.

The place where Wei Zhengqing lived was not in the ‘slum’ area of Bihai City.

It was in a relatively better neighborhood; after all, Wei Zhengqing was a Golden Core Cultivator. Even with severe injuries, he wouldn’t end up living in the slums.

Moreover,

Wei Zhengqing might have been seriously injured, but he still had Yan Xiong by his side.

After leaving Fang Market, Wei Siyue led Lin Jing through the main street and into an alley.

After winding their way through the alleys with many twists and turns, they finally arrived in front of a courtyard.

This type of house was quite common in Bihai City, meant specifically to be rented out for cultivators from outside to live in.

However, this area was not that great.

So, most of the residents here were Foundation Establishment Cultivators and a small number of Golden Core Cultivators who weren’t doing very well.

Wei Zhengqing, originally at the Golden Core Late Stage, was now spending a large amount of Spirit Stones daily to purchase Elixir Medicine to suppress his injuries due to being seriously injured.

And under the weight of his injuries, his cultivation could almost be considered wasted, barely managing to stabilize his condition and prevent further deterioration.

That’s why, having no choice, he moved here with Wei Siyue.

Otherwise, with his power at the Golden Core Late Stage, his treatment would likely have been much better than it currently was.

“Uncle Lin, we’re living here now.”

“Uncle Yan has gone out to look for Elixir Medicine for father; there should only be my father at home right now.”

“Uncle Lin, please come in…”

As she spoke, Wei Siyue opened the front door, guiding Lin Jing toward the inside of the courtyard.

This courtyard was not very large; besides the main house in the middle, there was one wing-room on each side.

Beyond that, there was nothing else.

The two entered the courtyard, Wei Siyue then closed the gate, and afterwards, she ran towards the main house in the middle of the courtyard.

“Daddy…”

“You have a visitor.”

As she spoke, Wei Siyue hurried into the house through the open door.

“A visitor? What visitor?”

“Cough…cough…”

A familiar voice, full of confusion, came from inside the main house.

The voice was weak and, after speaking, even coughed twice.

Just hearing this voice, Lin Jing knew that Wei Zhengqing’s injuries were probably not simple.

To have reduced a Golden Core Cultivator to the state of a mortal on the brink of death was an indicator of how serious Wei Zhengqing’s injuries were.

“Daddy…”

“Come out and see, and you’ll know.”

“Alright…” The voice carried a trace of helplessness.

After that, the sounds of two people slowly walking out of the house could be heard.

Lin Jing also walked toward the main house.

As Lin Jing stepped onto the porch in front of the house, the two people inside had just arrived at the doorway.

Then, Lin Jing lifted his head and locked eyes with the person coming out of the room.

The person who came out was Wei Zhengqing.

The current Wei Zhengqing, compared to before, was completely unrecognizable, almost like a different person.

If not for the familiar face, Lin Jing would hardly believe that this middle-aged man with white temples and a face of vicissitudes was Wei Zhengqing.

When Wei Zhengqing saw Lin Jing, he was first stunned, then shocked, and finally his face showed utter disbelief.

“Lin Brother?” Wei Zhengqing seemed almost in disbelief, tentatively asking a question.

Lin Jing nodded and then spoke:

“Wei Brother…”

“It’s hard to believe how much Wei Brother has changed after all these years.”

“It really is Lin Brother…”
