"And then?" Shen Qiang looked calmly at the bustling tropolis beneath his feet and said indifferently, "After becoming a general, will you still fight every day for justice on the front lines?"
Qian Shanxue was silent for a long ti before she softly replied, "The highest military rank of front-line combat team mbers is colonel. Once you beco a general, you can no longer go to the front lines. So, perhaps by then, I will buy myself a dress."
Shen Qiang smiled and sighed, "Do you know? When I first started studying dicine, I thought that since I was going to be a doctor, I should save every person. But later, during my internship at Bikang, I realized that I could only save those who could be saved. So patients, no matter how hard we tried, would still die."
Turning to look at Qian Shanxue, Shen Qiang said, "The world needs justice, and many people strive for it. But sotis, our priority is not how to execute justice but how to survive happily and joyfully first."
Qian Shanxue smiled, "Do you think I was wrong?"
"You weren't wrong." Shen Qiang said, "But to be honest, I personally think that Ali, Ye Xiaolei, and perhaps even you and I are more suited to doing sothing stable."
Qian Shanxue laughed, "You don't want to execute the Dragon Group's missions anymore?"
Shen Qiang replied, "I don't resist the Dragon Group's missions. When needed, I certainly won't shirk my duty. But regardless of the mission, I will prioritize reducing the mission's risks and completing it with minimal harm."
Qian Shanxue was silent for a mont, then said in surprise, "Are you accusing of not taking good care of Ali and Ye Xiaolei?"
"I didn't say that."
Qian Shanxue raised an eyebrow helplessly, "But that's what you an."
Shen Qiang smiled, then said seriously, "Despite the fact that every Dragon Group combat team mber is prepared to sacrifice at any ti, from my personal perspective, I don't want to die. Even if it sounds a bit cowardly, I hope that if there are missions in the future, you can let know."
"Because in that case, I think I can minimize the mission's danger. Whether you plan to execute justice endlessly or buy yourself a dress during your free ti, you need to stay alive. And more importantly, Ali and Ye Xiaolei are not you. They don't have Mixed Elent Realm cultivation."
Qian Shanxue fell silent for a mont, then said, "I'm your superior. I don't need you to teach how to do things."
Shen Qiang laughed, "Don't forget, I'm also the Dragon Group's Security Advisor. If you had told about the previous mission, perhaps Ye Xiaolei wouldn't have gotten hurt. In that case, you all might be enjoying a al at a restaurant right now."
Qian Shanxue gazed at the Provincial City below and said, "Are you really willing to use Heshenghe's power to help the Dragon Group?"
Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and said, "Power is ant to be used, no problem with that. But how to use it, I decide. And besides, we've spoken enough. It's ti for to go. Nobody's living here for now, so you and Ali, Ye Xiaolei can stay here."
"Everything here is at your disposal. After all, it's in the city center, very convenient in all aspects. Just make sure to keep my bedroom intact because I might randomly decide to stay here soday. That's about it."
Qian Shanxue said, "Thank you."
Shen Qiang smiled, "No need to thank . It's just sitting empty anyway. But rember to clean up and don't make it too dirty. The kitchen is fully equipped; feel free to use it."
With that, Shen Qiang turned and left.
Upon reaching the living room, he extended his Divine Sense, observing the still unconscious Ye Xiaolei and Ali, who seed reluctant to co out from Ye Xiaolei's bedside, before he left directly.
Standing by the railing, Qian Shanxue watched Shen Qiang drive away from the community before she returned to Ye Xiaolei's room.
Looking at the still sleeping Ye Xiaolei.
Qian Shanxue sat calmly by the bed and said, "Did you hear what Shen Qiang said?"
Ali was silent for a mont before responding, "Yes," then hesitantly added, "Shen Qiang perford surgery on as well, right?"
"Yes." Qian Shanxue said, "If it weren't for him, you would have died a long ti ago."
Turning to look at Ali, Qian Shanxue frowned and hesitated for a mont before saying, "Ali, don't you think Shen Qiang seems more suited to leadership than ?"
Ali was stunned and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Qian Shanxue smiled, "It's nothing. I just feel that I might not be suitable to be a captain."
On this side, Qian Shanxue and Ali silently sat by Ye Xiaolei's side.
On the other side, Shen Qiang, who had left Jinyu Huacheng, did not directly return to Heshenghe Mountain Villa.
Because Jing Xiangwei called, saying her mother was about to leave.
In such a situation, whether out of courtesy or personal interest, Shen Qiang needed to et her. Although in terms of family background, Jing Xiangwei was not as notable as Bai Jiao, the Jing family was still a well-known family in the Cultivation World. It wouldn't be right to dismiss her without a word.
Arriving at the second floor of Dinghao Hotel.
He went straight to the Datong River restaurant.
Jing Xiangwei called, saying that she and Gao Hui would co over soon and that Shen Qiang should order with her mother first.
It was simple enough, ordering a table of Chinese dishes for the restaurant to prepare.
Just as he finished, the elegant and dignified mother of Jing Xiangwei, who bore a slight resemblance to her, arrived at the restaurant.
The restaurant was just the two of them.
Shen Qiang hesitated for a mont before pushing a small box containing five Jiazi Pills in front of Jing Xiangwei's mother. He then said, "Auntie, these are my token of sincerity. Five Jiazi Pills can extend an ordinary person's life by sixty years. You can consider it part of my betrothal gift. Whatever I gave Bai Jiao, I will give Jing Xiangwei the sa, not a penny less."
Upon hearing this, Jing Xiangwei's mother smiled.
She then put away the box with the five Jiazi Pills, smiled at Shen Qiang, and said calmly, "Actually, I've always known who you are."
This stunned Shen Qiang.
At the sa ti, the slightly lancholic Jing Xiangwei's mother said seriously, "But fate is unpredictable. I never expected that you would kill my son, yet my daughter fell in love with you."
Shen Qiang was dumbfounded.
Jing Xiangwei's mother smiled bitterly and said solemnly, "I don't bla you because we didn't educate him well; he was at fault first. My husband and I never thought of seeking revenge on you. But Xiangwei, who was very close to her brother since childhood, has always harbored this grudge. We've never told her about you."
Looking at Shen Qiang, Jing Xiangwei's mother said with a slight tremble in her voice, "Xiangwei is a simple child. She loves intensely and hates intensely. But the truth can't be hidden forever. One day, she will find out about this. If that day cos, I hope you can protect her and not hurt her."
