Chapter 224 The Night Watchman: Zhou Ping?
In the Night Watchman Special Care Ward 2, after a brief examination, the doctor in charge of the care finally removed all the instruments from Li Jie's body.
"How about it?"
After the attending physician put away the equipment, Ye Fan, who had just checked on the master's injuries, pushed open the door and walked in.
"Commander Ye, Commissioner Li's health condition is relatively good."
It's just that... I don't know why his mental energy fluctuations aren't very strong.
It's possible that Commissioner Li's Forbidden Ruins suffered severe damage during this divine battle, requiring further examination to determine the cause.
"Oh, I see. Then there's no need for further examination. The kid should be fine." Upon hearing the attending physician's diagnosis, Ye Fan shook his head and said with a light laugh.
No need for further examination?
Upon hearing this, the attending physician wanted to say something more, but Ye Fan had already passed over him and arrived at Li Jie's bedside.
What happened in the fog?
Seeing that Ye Fan and Li Jie were about to talk, the attending physician quickly pushed the diagnostic equipment out of the ward and tactfully closed the door behind him.
Click.
As he stepped out of the room, he bumped into a handsome young man wearing a hospital gown, half of whose hair had been burned off.
"Excuse me, is Li Jie in this ward?"
"Oh...ah...yes."
The young man nodded. He was about to thank him, but he pursed his lips and didn't say anything. He just nodded slightly, turned the doorknob, and went inside.
What a strange person...
Watching the young man's retreating figure, Li Jie's attending physician muttered something under his breath, then pushed the examination equipment back into the doctor's office on his own.
Inside the ward, Li Jie gathered his thoughts and was about to tell Ye Fan about what happened in the fog when...
Zhou Ping, wearing a hospital gown, walked in.
"problem occurs."
Ok?
Hearing Zhou Ping's voice coming from the doorway, Ye Fan and Li Jie couldn't help but look towards the door.
"What happened?"
"I can no longer sense Lin Qiye and the others' presence."
"What do you mean?"
"Judging by the time, Anta County should have returned to the territory of Great Xia long ago, but we still haven't heard from them. This is a bit abnormal."
"Zhou Ping."
"Ok?"
"You're talking...a lot more than before..."
Ye Fan did not answer Zhou Ping's question, but instead smiled and looked at the Red Dust Sword Immortal, whose face was calm but whose eyes were filled with anxiety.
It seems......
The dishes weren't washed for nothing...
That quiet, socially awkward young man is gradually beginning to accept the world...
"maybe......"
"Alright, continue with what you were saying earlier."
"Um, Commander Ye, senior, Qi Ye and the others should be alright."
Just as Zhou Ping was about to continue explaining his speculation, Li Jie, who was lying on the bed, spoke up first.
Sensing the questioning gazes of the two, Li Jie made up a story with a straight face.
“Fatty gave me a forbidden item before, which can identify the life traces of the two people linked by this forbidden item. I just checked it, and their vitality is still very strong.”
"So, even if they don't come back, we don't need to be too anxious right now."
"Does the Baili family possess such forbidden items?" Ye Fan asked suspiciously upon hearing Li Jie's words.
He felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
but......
If he knew Li Jie was making things up....
That will tell you what's wrong.
Li Jie and Lin Qiye were not only comrades-in-arms from the same training camp, but also brothers who had risked their lives for each other.
Ye Fan had complete faith in Li Jie's character and certainly wouldn't believe that Li Jie was joking about the safety of the Fifth Special Squad.
As for the real reason for their disappearance, Li Jie certainly wouldn't mention it, since knowing it now wouldn't be a good thing.
"Do you recognize all the forbidden items belonging to the Baili family...?"
"I really can't recognize them all..."
"Isn't that okay?"
"........"
In the end, Ye Fan was still somewhat skeptical because he had no means of verification, so he could only temporarily believe Li Jie's story.
As for Zhou Ping...
Wouldn't that make them even easier to fool?
"Is it really okay?"
"I'm really alright!"
"If something happens, I'll be more anxious than you are."
"Oh... I'll go back to my ward then..."
"Wait a minute, senior, how's your injury?"
"Um...the doctor told me to shave the other side of my hair too, otherwise it might scare people."
"......What about the others?"
"They can't find anything else, so it's probably nothing serious."
Just kidding. Zhou Ping is now a powerful sword immortal, so how could ordinary treatment methods possibly work on him?
Li Jie shook his head helplessly, then took some Heaven and Earth Essence from the Sword Nourishing Gourd and handed it to Zhou Ping.
"Then let me order this for you. Now that you're home, let's hope nothing else goes wrong..."
In fact, Li Jie probably didn't know what Zhou Ping's current situation was either.
Logically speaking, a foundation built with one's own primordial essence should be much safer than one forcibly leaving a mark on the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. To be on the safe side, Li Jie still planned to leave Zhou Ping some means.
After carefully storing the small sphere enveloped in familiar sword energy, Zhou Ping nodded, then looked into Li Jie's eyes and spoke softly.
I accept your previous suggestion.
What suggestion?
"After the treatment is over, I'll go back to the Special Operations Division with you."
"Oh, this one? Okay."
"That's it, I'll go back first."
After saying this, Zhou Ping nodded to the dumbfounded Ye Fan, then walked out of the ward and closed the door.
What did he just say?
Ye Fan asked blankly, afraid that he had misheard.
"He said he and I would go back to the Special Operations Unit."
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Li Jie looked at Ye Fan's very interesting expression, and asked softly with a slight smile.
That's exactly the reaction I wanted!
hey-hey.......
Going to the Mist and recruiting Zhou Ping into the Night Watch was an incredibly crazy thing to do.
"He...is he joking...?"
"It shouldn't be... It seems like you've found it, senior..."
The meaning of my existence in this world!
