"Does that an you’re about to recover to Level 8 right away?"
Lin Chen held the wine glass and clinked it with Zhang Zhongjiu’s, asking with interest, "So you could say it’s a blessing in disguise."
"Yes."
Zhang Zhongjiu responded, "If all goes well, I’ll be back to Level 8 in a week."
Lin Chen enthusiastically praised, "That’s great news! Haven’t you shared it with Miss He? I think she would be very eager to hear your good news."
Zhang Zhongjiu’s face, already flushed from drinking, turned even redder, "Not yet."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "After all this talk, what’s Miss He’s stance on this? You shouldn’t just be fervently pursuing this all by yourself."
Zhang Zhongjiu, perhaps because he had drunk quite a bit, shook his head in denial, "Of course not. We’re mutually in love, but her family is forcing her to break up with , and she’s caught in the middle, feeling very troubled."
"She once asked if we should elope to another planet to live. I was very tempted, but after so hesitation, I eventually refused."
Lin Chen curiously asked, "Why did you refuse?"
Zhang Zhongjiu was silent for a few seconds, "I want to marry her and want to do so openly. I hope she and I can be together with her parents’ approval, and after marrying , she can return ho honorably, not never being able to return."
Lin Chen gave a thumbs up, "That’s manly! So, when you advance to Level 9, will that be possible?"
Zhang Zhongjiu was silent for a mont, his expression turning somber.
"Actually, when I was at the peak of Level 8, the He family’s attitude had already softened. Although the peak of Level 8 isn’t as prestigious as Level 9, one can still be considered a powerhouse on Planet 11 and enjoy a high status."
"But at the ti, I was rising sharply, ambitious to reach Level 9, thinking it would not only bring back to the core of the Zhang Family but also make the Wang Family bow down..."
Lin Chen understood as he listened.
In the youthful arrogance, there’s often a belief that one’s achievents can be even better, and yet the harsh reality eventually presents itself.
The mission failed, the realm plumted, not only failing to attain greater glory, but even losing the previous foundation.
Strictly speaking, it wasn’t Zhang Zhongjiu’s fault. As a warrior, one must always aspire to ascend. Being at the peak of Level 8 with an opportunity to advance to Level 9, taking a shot at it was quite normal.
He simply failed.
"No worries, you’re about to return to Level 8, and I imagine it won’t take long to recover to the peak of Level 8. But this ti, are you still waiting for Level 9?"
Zhang Zhongjiu briskly shook his head, "No longer. I can’t let her bear the pressure alone. As long as we’re together, no matter how great the pressure, I’ll carry it forward."
"Level 9 can be pursued slowly; soday I’ll reach Level 9, but if you miss the person, it’s gone forever."
Lin Chen gave a thumbs up, "Good, you have awareness, so why not call her now?"
Zhang Zhongjiu was startled, "Ah, now?"
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Yes, you were wronged before; I’m sure she knows and is anxious. You’re out now, so you should call her anyway, especially since there’s good news. If not now, when will you call?"
"If you don’t tell her anything, how can she feel? Might she think you don’t care about her?"
Zhang Zhongjiu’s expression changed slightly, "She wouldn’t. She knows that I’m working towards our future, and even the potion I asked from you was for her."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Hearts can be hidden; the more you worry, the more you think. You haven’t t in a long ti and haven’t contacted each other. Would you overthink things, like hearing about the He Family’s plan to marry into the Wang Family? Can you confirm that her thoughts are as firm as ever, that she can always bear the pressure waiting for you?"
Each sentence Lin Chen spoke made Zhang Zhongjiu’s face turn whiter, and by the end, Zhang Zhongjiu’s eyes already showed undisguised concern.
Lin Chen wasn’t trying to scare him. After all, he was just hearing Zhang Zhongjiu’s side, and Miss He’s actual attitude was unclear.
If one day Miss He changes her mind, it could impact Zhang Zhongjiu as much as failing the mission and losing strength.
Problems that can be solved through communication shouldn’t be left to guessing gas!
Zhang Zhongjiu hesitated, "Really call?"
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Call!"
Seeing Zhang Zhongjiu still hesitating, Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Call her and ask what she’s doing, ask if she can co out, if she can, invite her over. If not, tell her you’re safe and about to advance, and clearly tell her that once you advance, you’ll find her and marry her!"
Shang Wenyao and the three won smiled and nodded, agreeing with Lin Chen’s words.
Seeing the three won endorse Lin Chen’s advice, Zhang Zhongjiu clenched his teeth and raised his wrist to dial He Wei’s phone.
The call connected, and a gentle female voice ca through, "Zhongjiu?"
Zhang Zhongjiu, having already decided, spoke while feeling the courage of the drink, "Do you have ti now? Can you co out?"
He Wei seed a bit surprised, but more than that, her voice was filled with joy.
"It’s a bit of trouble, but I should be able to... I can co out, where are you?"
Lin Chen listened and exchanged glances with the three won, raising his eyebrows.
Success!
He Wei clearly doesn’t have complete freedom, but within less than a minute, she had already fird up her resolve to et Zhang Zhongjiu.
Zhang Zhongjiu gave the na of a restaurant, "I have so things to tell you, and also introduce you to so friends."
He Wei said with a smile, "Alright, I’m on my way, maybe half an hour."
"Okay, I’ll wait for you."
Zhang Zhongjiu hung up the phone, exhaling in relief.
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "See, it’s just a matter of making a phone call, it’s not that complicated. Judging by Miss He’s tone, she’s been waiting for your call for a long ti."
Zhang Zhongjiu was silent for a few seconds and picked up his wine glass, "Thank you!"
Lin Chen chuckled and drank a glass with Zhang Zhongjiu, reminding him, "Order two dishes she likes."
Zhang Zhongjiu paused for a mont and then realized, "Okay!"
When almost half an hour passed, He Wei arrived.
He Wei wasn’t tall, maybe just 160 cm, sweet-looking, with bright eyes, a gentle gaze, and a gentle, serene temperant.
Zhang Zhongjiu watched as He Wei entered, imdiately standing up, "Weiwei!"
He Wei nodded, her eyes showing so excitent, but she quickly suppressed her emotions, smiling as she approached.
Zhang Zhongjiu pulled out a chair for He Wei, his tone slightly nervous, "Have you eaten? I ordered two of your favorite dishes..."
He Wei pursed her lips into a light smile, "I’ve eaten a bit, but I’m feeling hungry again."
Lin Chen watched Zhang Zhongjiu and He Wei’s interactions with amusent.
Ah, Zhang Zhongjiu, always the cool face, hehe, even you have a day of being swayed!
