The Zero Inside the Martial Arts Library

Chapter 45: Enlightenment, Great Sect

…

Huan Liuli awoke from her trance. What was before his eyes were rippling ocean waves and scorching sunlight.

The sea breeze that was enough to make the sunburn continued to blow on his side.

As for him, he was lying on a plastic board.

Huan Liuli was stunned speechless.

‘Am I dreaming? Didn't I just hit Ye Xiao? How did I end up at sea? It seems that lately, cleaning up after Ye Xiao was a sad experience, enough so that I started hallucinating! All day long I wash the floor like a janitor, even though I am not a trainable obedient dog! What kind of cat guards the house?

‘Oh, come on, I'll sleep a little longer.’

Closing his eyes, Huan Liuli prepared to continue her sleep. Suddenly, with a puff, a wave rolled over, instantly wetting it.

Huan Liuli instantly woke up completely and her hair stood upright in an instant.

“Meong! How do I really get to the sea? Where is Ye Xiao? Where's the couch? Meow Meow Meow Meow! Helping out! I can't swim!”

…

On Ye Xiao's side, after resting overnight, he received a message from Gu Hai.

“Ye Old, I'm back. I'm checking in at Second Hospital. Don't worry.”

Ye Xiao was not too surprised. He knew that Gu Hai was fine.

Library staff sent a message stating that the library would be closed for three days to repair the damage.

Outside that day drizzle. Ye Xiao went out for breakfast, bought some fruit and milk, then went straight to the Second Hospital.

Neighborhood of garrison members who have been re-isolated. There are other guards outside 24 hours a day to prevent the occurrence of abnormalities between them. Only after checking and making sure that there was no threat would they be allowed to leave.

When Ye Xiao arrived at Gu Hai ward, Qin Yuyan and Lu Wanwan were also there. Gu Hai was wearing a hospital gown, and he had to comfort Lu Wanwan, whose eyes were red from crying.

“Darling, I'm fine. Look my body. All the spare parts were fine, not even a single strand of hair was missing. Don't cry, it's okay.”

When Ye Xiao entered, Lu Wanwan was a little embarrassed. He immediately turned his face away and used his sleeves to wipe the corner of his eyes.

Qin Yuyan tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and greeted her with a gentle smile.

“You are also here.”

Ye Xiao nodded.

He put aside fruit and milk.

“How are you doing? Are you hurt?”

“I'm not hurt. I'm doing fine. Food's great. The doctor said that I was fine, but Wanwan did not believe and insisted to cry.”

“He's worried about you too. You, on the other hand, go on a mission and make no sound. You didn't even call home.”

“I want to call too, but during the battle, I lost my phone. I don't know where it went. Then, the signal of all electronic devices is blocked, so I have no way to contact anyone.”

Ye Xiao's expression did not change, nor did he mention the matter of text messages. He just said indifferently,

“I told you before you left not to be too rash. If the situation doesn't look good, run. In the end, you even lose your phone. ”

“How do I know it is very dangerous? But this time, it was all thanks to the mysterious martial artist from Jianghai city. If it wasn't for him, I really wouldn't be able to come back.”

“You're lucky.”

At that moment, Lu Wanwan felt a little nauseous. Qin Yuyan said anxiously,

“I'll bring Wanwan down to get some fresh air. You two can talk here. ”

“OK!”

After the two women left, Gu Hai said mysteriously,

“Ye Old, they're both here now so I don't want to say anything other than.. Guess what you think I heard when I was on the verge of death?”

Ye Xiao shook his head.

“I don't know.”

“I'll scare you if I tell you but.. that's your voice!”

“Are you crazy?”

Ye Xiao was speechless while Gu Hai chuckled.

“Isn't that crazy? My soul was infected at that time and my consciousness was blurred! But I did not hear the voices of others. Be it Wanwan, my parents, or even the voice of Ali from Red Romance. I didn't hear any of them but I heard yours!

“What does it mean? That means I really have a deep brotherly love for you, as deep as the sea, the sea.. After all, you are even closer to me than siblings!”

“Can you not make it so mushy? It makes me sick.”

“Quiet.”

“Ha ha ha ha..”

After laughing for a while, Gu Hai's tone of voice started to become slightly depressed, and his eyes became slightly red.

“Ye Old, don't take this seriously. I've been holding him for a long time. If I don't say something funny, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it.”

Ye Xiao did not say anything more. He knew how much pressure Gu Hai felt in his heart. The things that were excessive on the surface just now were all covered up.

After all, not only had he come out of hell on earth, he had also lost several teammates.

“Do you have a cigarette?”

“There are two Zhonghua boxes hidden inside the fruit pouch I just bought for you.”

“You know me better than I do. You know that the hospital does not allow smoking, so you helped me sneak into two boxes.”

Gu Hai took out his cigarette box, but after thinking for a moment, he put back his cigarette.

“Li Old likes to smoke. In order to protect me, he was torn to shreds by a demon tiger and a star beast. I'll let her down by smoking.”

He wiped the corner of his eyes and continued,

“I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me. But at that time, my pants were wet.

“Before I joined the mission, I thought it was not much different from what was shown on TV. I only realized the danger after I met them.

“At that time, I thought that if I did not waste time and cultivate properly, my cultivation level would increase by two or three levels. During the battle, I could at least protect one or two of my friends. I will not be a stumbling block or a hindrance to others.

“However, the reality is I'm too useless. Not only did I not try hard, but I even caused Old Li's death.

“I'm the one who deserves to die.”

“Good if you are still alive.”

Ye Xiao comforted him, but Gu Hai shook his head and blew his nose. His eyes showed a hint of maturity that Ye Xiao had never seen in him before.

“I always could not understand in the past that people die all the time in the global garrison team! However, everyone still joined the garrison team one after another. Wh why? Wh-wh-what for?

“But now, I understand.

“Garrison team.

“It is precisely because the garrison team there is peace for the commoners. Our family, friends and future generations will always be able to live in peace and live on!

“I'm already in my twenties. I can't linger anymore.

“Ye Old, I'm preparing to go to a special training camp. I want to cultivate well and become a true man who protects his family and country!”

“Custom training camp is very difficult.”

“Then I want to participate! I have a wife and children. I have to contribute to this world! As long as we men do our best, wives and children can lead stable lives!”

Ye Xiao nodded.

“Because you have such determination, then I wish you success.”

“Thank you. But don't tell Wanwan about this just yet. I'm afraid he won't agree.”

“Do not worry.”

The two exchanged pleasantries again. Only when Qin Yuyan and Lu Wanwan returned did Ye Xiao say goodbye and leave.

Walking out of the hospital, the spatter still fell. Ye Xiao did not use his spiritual energy to protect his body. Instead, he slowly took a step forward and let the rain wet his clothes.

Gu Hai's words made his bottleneck, which he couldn't break, inexplicably slacken a little.

What is the meaning of martial arts?

What is the purpose of becoming stronger?

For pleasure?

For fame?

To show off his strength and make everyone submit to him?

Nah!

None of this is true.

Nameless fluctuations slowly began to spread from Ye Xiao's body …
