Purehearted Ling Yi

About half an hour later, feeling his Soul Power fully restored and even showing a slight improvement, Ling Yi stood up feeling refreshed.

With his hands raised high, he bent his body and stretched out a long yawn, his whole body like a taut longbow, his muscles and bones stretched and extended.

With a casual swing of his arm and a punch, he produced a series of loud bangs like firecrackers. Ling Yi refreshed and full of energy, experiencing an indescribable sense of comfort.

Outside the rest room, the trio, who had already finished tidying up and cleaning all the tools, woke up from their cultivation upon hearing the noise.

Zhang Mufeng got up and walked to the outside of the lounge, calling softly, "Brother Yi, are you awake?"

As soon as the sound faded, the wooden door in front of them was pulled open from the inside, and Ling Yi's handsome and elegant figure came into view. A clear and pleasant voice rang in their ears:

"You're awake? Are you all hungry?"

"Gurgle—"

As if to echo Ling Yi's words, a rather loud rumbling sound came from the abdomen.

Ling Yi, Zhang Mufeng, Qingqiu Xin looked in the direction of the voice and saw Long Yin holding his stomach with one hand and scratching his head somewhat embarrassedly with the other. "Hehe~ Brother Yi, I'm actually a little hungry—"

The three of them were cultivating. Zhang Mufeng and Qingqiu Xin were cultivating their Soul Power while sitting cross-legged, while he was in the open space in the center of the wooden house, keeping watch for his companions while cultivating the "Beast Martial Soul - Xingyi Fist Style" - Violent Bear Crushes Stone.

This fist stance mobilizes Soul Power and stimulates Qi and Blood, strengthening the body's muscles, bones, and skin in every aspect. The consumption of Soul Power is moderate, but the consumption of Qi and Blood and qi is considerable, requiring timely food intake to replenish the body and prevent depletion.

Ling Yi nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, then let's go to the market and get something good to eat—"

"Okay!" Long Yin nodded quickly upon hearing this, looking excited.

Beside them, both Zhang Mufeng and Qingqiu Xin looked impatient.

They are at a crucial stage of growth and their need for food is never lacking.

Also, think about where they are now.

' Howling Wind Canyon ' is one of the five primary Soul Hunting Forest in the [Water Wood Duchy].

The wooden cabin where they were staying was located between the entrance to the canyon and the market outside the Soul Hunting Forest.

A little closer to the canyon is the forest ranger outpost of the duchy stationed here.

As the four of them walked toward the market, every Soul Master they encountered along the way, whether in a small group or alone, whether One-Ring Soul Master or Three-Ring Soul Elder, greeted Ling Yi slowly, their attitude friendly and intimate.

Ling Yi responded to each one, accurately calling out the name of every Soul Master he had met. Even those he didn't know, he greeted with a smile and a friendly tone, chatting casually for a while.

As they walked and talked, a bustling market soon came into view. Listening to the shouts of vendors and hawkers, Ling Yi Ling Yi Zhang Mufeng and the other two to the largest restaurant in the market.

Since becoming Blacksmith, Ling Yi has achieved initial financial freedom.

Of course, this is on the premise that you don't buy any powerful or rare Soul Tool.

As for Soul Bone, even those that are only a few hundred years old and considered useless, are not something he can get his hands on. He can only think about them in private.

After greeting the restaurant owner and waiters, Ling Yi and his companions went upstairs without any trouble and found a square table facing the street to sit down.

"Brother Fang, what good ingredients do you have today?"

After taking his seat, Ling Yi did not look at the menu immediately, but instead asked the waiter surnamed Fang who was waiting to the side.

The waiter was quite familiar with Ling Yi, this "Great Physician," and immediately replied with a smile, "Early this morning, the kitchen received half a ' Fanged Pig ' and a whole ' Wind Shadow Deer.' As for the dishes, they were made according to the recipes you previously instructed, Mr. Ling..."

Ling Yi nodded and said, "Roasted Fanged Pig tenderloin with fangs, braised Wind Shadow Deer, four servings each, then eight other meat dishes, along with some vegetables. For the staple food, I'll have a bucket of rice... What about you?"

The last question was directed at the other three people at the table.

Zhang Mufeng: "I'm the same as Brother Yi."

Long Yin: "Give me a basket of steamed buns."

Qingqiu Xin: "Let's try something different today, I'll have a basket of steamed buns too."

The waiter noted down all of Ling Yi and his companions' requests, then quickly ran downstairs to report them to the kitchen.

Before long, two dishes of Soul Beast meat, which had been prepared in advance, were served on the table, along with two large wooden buckets and two large baskets containing staple foods.

Without waiting for the meat and vegetable side dishes to arrive, Ling Yi, who was also starving, waved his hand and said, "Dinner's ready!"

Half an hour later.

Ling Yi and his three companions moved to another window seat facing the street. The previous table was a mess of cups and plates, which the waiter was cleaning up.

With a toothpick dangling from his mouth, Long Yin rubbed his protruding belly and asked Ling Yi, who was sipping his tea slowly and gently, "Brother Yi, those two groups of people didn't pay for their medical treatment. Do you think they might—?"

Compared to Zhang Mufeng and Qingqiu Xin, who arrived a month ago to meet with Ling Yi, Long Yin, who had only been there for less than a week, was still not very clear about Ling Yi's charging method.

The previous week, all the patients who came in received Gold Soul Coin on the spot, so he didn't think much of it.

Today was different. After two surgeries with significant impact, Ling Yi was also somewhat exhausted in spirit and physical strength after the surgery because his Soul Power was depleted. He didn't say much to the two groups and went straight back to the rest room for Deep Sleep. Long Yin was still a little worried about this.

"It's okay~"

Ling Yi shook his head upon hearing this, his hand holding the teacup remaining motionless, and said with a faint smile, "I trust them. Before they left, they said they would bring the medical fee later, so let it be later—"

"Well--"

Upon hearing this, Long Yin opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.

My Brother Yi is good in every way, except that he's a bit too kind and trusting.

Logically speaking, with Brother Yi's intelligence, he couldn't possibly be unaware of the deceit and treachery between people in this world. All sorts of twists and turns should be clearly seen in his eyes. So how come...?

Staring intently at Ling Yi's face and eyes, which seemed genuine and full of sincerity, Long Yin sighed inwardly.

Well, if those two groups really renege on their debt, and it really comes down to it, I can always ask my dad to step in and get the money back.

Long Yin turned his head to look at Zhang Mufeng and Qingqiu Xin on either side. Seeing that the two looked calm and collected, Long Yin raised his eyebrows, and the two returned the gesture by raising their eyebrows in the same way.

Long Yin saw in their eyes the same thoughts he had.

Watching the interaction between the three, Ling Yi felt a little touched, and also a little amused.

He genuinely didn't care whether those two groups would send over the medical fees.

He hadn't trusted the wrong person when it arrived.

Even if he doesn't send it over, I will help him get back the medical fees for all the Soul Master I've treated before, and for all the Soul Master I'll treat in the future.

This is not the well-established and sound world of my previous life, but a world where individual power resides in one's own hands and violence reigns supreme.

Skipping out on the bill? Refusing to pay debts?

It doesn't exist!

In my past life, some Great Physician wouldn't treat patients unless they received payment, but others treated patients first and collected payment later.

Just like some low-income households, they enjoy certain preferential policies.

There are also those who temporarily cannot access cash, such as those with fixed-term deposits or those needing medical treatment at night and unable to raise the necessary funds for surgery in time...

But Ling Yi had heard from both the general surgery and nursing students that some people would run away immediately after being treated, and when they were found, all they would say was that they had no money.

Some people even pack up and take away hospital bed sheets, blankets, thermos flasks, and plastic bottles.

Deposit? Someone who came with no money would have a deposit.

Use it for now, I'll replace it later~

With legal protection, what can be done about such people?

Go to court?

Aren't you afraid of being branded as a big, arrogant, and unscrupulous merchant?

Those hospitals that are greedy for money and refuse treatment if you don't have money are hateful, and these deadbeats are just as hateful.

But in the Douluo Continent, or other extraordinary worlds, try relying on one?

As the four people were enjoying their post-dinner leisure time, two groups of people came up the stairs on the other side.

After coming up, the young man and the middle-aged man in the lead looked around and immediately locked their eyes on Ling Yi and his three companions sitting by the window.
