Feng Jun spoke with perfect justification, but Lin Beauty had something to say as well. "Whether you owe us anything is beside the point. Everything you've done has been for this country and this people. At a critical time like this, the greater one's ability, the greater one's responsibility, isn't that right?"
Feng Jun gave her a helpless glance. "I'm already doing that. The Xia Currency Gold Standard... haven't I fulfilled my responsibility?"
"Of course you have, and we're deeply grateful to you," Lin Beauty replied solemnly. "Actually, we also hope we can do something for you. You're fighting alone on the front lines, and we're worried about you too."
"I also hope you can do something for me," Feng Jun said with a bitter smile. Then he spread his hands in resignation. "But... you really can't. You can't provide what I need, so I can only settle for the next best thing. Could you at least stop causing trouble?"
His words made Lin Beauty blush slightly. That really was how things stood. Feng Jun had simply given away his gold, mining equipment, military gear, pharmaceutical production lines, and so on. Did they really think he did not want anything in return?
The key was that no one could provide what he needed... so he could only give those things away for free.
Still, Lin Beauty said, "At the very least, we can provide loyal soldiers, so you won't have to fight alone."
"Forget it. It's unsuitable. Don't bring up this topic again," Feng Jun said with a wave of his hand. "If there's nothing else, you may leave."
"There is something else," Lin Beauty said. She really did have more to ask. "I know Blue Star's soldiers are somewhat lacking in cultivation, and you can help with that, right?
