Chapter 1604 - 1603: Let's Talk After Opening the Door
"So that's how it is, alright, you can follow me from now on."Li Qi's Innate Divine Strength had never been witnessed by Tang Rao, but he completely believed Li Qi's words.
To some extent, deceiving Tang Rao would bring no benefits to him; some lies can be concealed for a while, while others are transparent at a glance.
"Thank you, administrator... No, thank you, boss."
Li Qi's eyes were like shining light bulbs, staring at Tang Rao, giving him a creepy feeling that something was going to happen. Fortunately, it was just a momentary sensation, and it soon disappeared from him.
"Do a good job, I won't treat you poorly."
Back in the day, those capitalists said the same to their subordinates, with the aim of getting them to work hard.
Upon seeing those capitalists, Tang Rao once vowed that he would never talk to his subordinates like that. In reality, sometimes he would unconsciously say the words without realizing.
"I will definitely work hard, please trust me, boss."
Later, since Li Qi was a local in the Peach Blossom Land and familiar with the area, and thankfully they didn't encounter robbers again, the entire journey was much smoother than the first third of the trip.
Bei Lin took care of Wen Jinjin for several days, and Wen Jinjin's illness had improved significantly, and now she was able to walk a few laps independently in the yard and occasionally sun-dry the medicinal materials without feeling fatigued.
"Jin Jin, you've been busy for an hour now, shouldn't you take a break?"
Bei Lin stood behind Wen Jinjin, occasionally reminding her.
It was unknown how many times Bei Lin had reminded Wen Jinjin already.
Wen Jinjin knew Bei Lin meant well and didn't dare to immediately refute her. Instead, she sorted the medicinal materials in her hands, packed them, and stored them in her Medicinal Material Storage.
"Lin Lin, I have researched your illness, it's not incurable, just the process is quite convoluted, and treating it will cause you a lot of pain. Are you prepared for this?"
Wen Jinjin hadn't openly discussed her condition with Bei Lin previously, worried that Bei Lin might overthink. Several days had passed with Bei Lin diligently taking care of her, and Wen Jinjin felt uneasy not expressing something to Bei Lin.
"What did you say, Jin Jin, say it again, is there actually hope for my illness?"
Bei Lin's attention wasn't focused on the arduous treatment Wen Jinjin mentioned but on another point.
For her, as long as her illness could be cured, enduring some pain was insignificant.
"There's hope, as long as you're willing to cooperate with me, not saying a hundred percent, but there's a ninety percent chance, it depends on whether you dare to trust me and put yourself in my hands."
Wen Jinjin had quite a bit of confidence in herself, but in front of Bei Lin, she didn't dare speak too confidently, worried that if she failed, it would have a very negative impact on Bei Lin.
"Of course, I dare, I have always trusted you!"
Bei Lin wasn't about to give up; she trusted Wen Jinjin, so her words carried assurance!
"That's good, as long as you trust me, I'll use all my strength, and I'll surely cure your illness."
What did Tang Rao see upon arriving?
He thought there was something wrong with his eyesight; otherwise, why were the two women he cared about appearing simultaneously before his eyes?
"Jin Jin? Bei Lin?"
His voice was not loud but enough to reach the ears of the two women.
"What are you two doing here?"
Tang Rao could understand Bei Lin being here; after all, he knew a long time ago that Bei Lin was coming to this place to find the Divine Doctor. As for why Wen Jinjin was here, Tang Rao really wanted an explanation from her.
"Tang Rao, what are you doing here?"
Similar to Tang Rao's reaction, Wen Jinjin and Bei Lin were also unaware of how Tang Rao ended up in Peach Blossom Land and even found them in such a large place.
The man they intended to avoid suddenly appearing before them brought a trace of delight amid their panic.
"It seems we have a lot to talk about, do you want to let me in first?"
Tang Rao's face didn't show much emotion, but the change in Bei Lin affected him greatly.
He had imagined Bei Lin aging, but imagining wasn't the same as actually witnessing a young woman turn into a frail old lady, and the emotional impact was enormous.
Tang Rao smiled and asked Wen Jinjin to open the door, while Bei Lin suddenly remembered something. Initially delighted by Tang Rao's arrival, she covered her face in excitement and ran into the house.
Upon seeing Tang Rao, she feared more than seeing a ghost.
The man she liked saw her aged appearance. Even if she were cured, it might be too late as Tang Rao could abandon her before Wen Jinjin treated Bei Lin!
"Tang Rao, don't ask me why I'm here, Bei Lin is not in a good mood. By the looks of it, your relationship might be complicated. Why not comfort her first and talk to me once she calms down?"
As a woman herself, Bei Lin's expressions couldn't deceive Wen Jinjin's eyes. Luckily, Wen Jinjin knew what kind of person Tang Rao was and knew how to navigate before him; her understanding and tolerance were observed by Tang Rao.
It's because she is this kind of woman that Tang Rao felt his search for her was worthwhile.
"Jin Jin, you always understand me best."
Tang Rao suddenly planted a kiss on Wen Jinjin's face, and before she could react, he rushed to Bei Lin's nearest guest room.
The guest room door was locked, so Tang Rao stood outside, listening for any movement inside, but after a long time, heard nothing from within.
Could Bei Lin be despairing and doing something foolish inside?
A thought flashed in Tang Rao's mind, conjuring numerous scenarios, each causing his heart to race.
"Bei Lin, please open the door, let's talk things over, don't do anything foolish inside, okay?"
Technically, a door shouldn't be much of a barrier, but forcing entry might not bring them closer and could offend Bei Lin, which Tang Rao did not want.
"Bei Lin, listen to me, I don't mean to despise you, whatever you're like, it doesn't matter to me. Please open the door, so we can talk face to face, alright?"
Tang Rao's gentle persuasion had no effect on Bei Lin; the door remained shut, unyielding.
