"Brother Ding, in a few Tokiomi the scars on Miss Ling's face will be completely healed. What do you think of our previous suggestion?"
After treating Ling Shuanghua's facial scars for the last time, Wang Hao stood up and looked directly at Ding Dian, who was standing to the side.
Ding Dian, who had been looking at Ling Shuanghua with concern, fell silent upon hearing this, and his gaze involuntarily fell back to Ling Shuanghua lying on the bed.
"Dianlang, you make the decision. As long as I can be with you from now on, Shuanghua will be content."
Ling Shuanghua naturally understood why Ding Dian hesitated, so she directly expressed her feelings and completely handed over the choice to her beloved.
Having received a response from Yi Ren, Ding Dian took a deep breath, turned his gaze to Wang Hao beside him, and said with a wry smile, "Actually, I have no other choice at the moment. I will have to trouble Brother Zhu from now on, so please don't find it offensive."
He was aware of the current situation. With the A Deadly Secret Jue treasure as bait, it was virtually impossible for him to stay safely in the Central Plains. Even hiding in the deep mountains and forests would not guarantee his safety.
Although Wang Hao took all the treasures from A Deadly Secret Jue, no one else would believe it!
They'll definitely come looking for him again, and their attitude won't be friendly at all. Once a fight breaks out, he won't care.
With his Half-step Innate cultivation, as long as he doesn't face an old monster like Xiantian Grandmaster, he can escape even if he can't win.
But Shuanghua is different; he must consider this carefully.
Therefore, the only way out now is to go to sea, far away from the Central Plains, so that those people can't find us.
However, with Japanese pirates rampant at sea, it would be difficult for him to protect Shuanghua on his own. Therefore, it would be best to find a powerful force to rely on.
After spending the past few days with Wang Hao and Zhou Xueyi, he had gotten to know them better and trusted their character. It wouldn't be a bad thing to rely on them.
"Haha... I'm overjoyed to have Brother Ding and Miss Ling's help, how could I possibly look down on them?"
Wang Hao was overjoyed, realizing that he had finally brought Ding Dian completely under his control.
Once a gentleman like Ding Dian makes a promise, he will never go back on it.
The saying "a gentleman's word is as good as his bond" perfectly describes this kind of person.
After laughing, Wang Hao said in a deep voice, " Xueyi will explain the details of the overseas base to you later, so I won't go into detail here. However, I have a request that Miss Ling needs to agree to."
As he spoke, Wang Hao turned his gaze to Ling Shuanghua, who was lying on the bed recovering.
Although he valued Ding Dian more, as Ding Dian could provide the necessary military support for the Treasure Island of Ryukyu base, Ling Shuanghua's abilities were also considerable.
Although this woman does not know martial arts, she is a rare talent. After all, the title of the number one talented woman in Jingzhou is not a joke, and his base lacks such talent.
The most important aspect of the base's future development, besides the industrial workshops, will be education.
This is something that Qing'er and Yushu are not capable of handling. Qing'er herself only attended a private school for a few years. Although she is meticulous and has a great sense of the big picture, she is not up to the task in this regard.
Although Yushu is quite talented, her strengths lie more in business management; her literary talent is rather average, making her ill-equipped to shoulder the responsibility of education.
But now Ling Shuanghua, the most talented woman in Jingzhou, is different. She is definitely capable of taking charge of the base's education work, and at least the initial literacy skills are not a problem.
"Young Master Young Master Zhu has done us a great favor. Please speak frankly. As long as Shuanghua can do it, she will not refuse!"
Because she had a gauze and medicine applied to her cheek, making it inconvenient for her to get up, Shuanghua's response was quite firm, which could be considered as agreeing to Wang Hao's request.
Even though she didn't know what Wang Hao wanted to do, the kindness Wang Hao had shown them was enough to make up for everything.
"This might be difficult for others, but it's not a problem for Miss Ling, who is considered the most talented woman in Jingzhou."
Seeing that Ding Dian was rather nervous and seemed hesitant to speak, Wang Hao smiled and comforted him before solemnly explaining, "Although I have quite a few people at the overseas base, they are all illiterate. They need someone to guide them, teach them to read and write, and teach them the principles of being a good person."
To be honest, I don't have that kind of talent on my side right now, so progress has been very slow. But now that we have Miss Ling, things are different. So I hope that once we get to the overseas base, Miss Ling can take charge of this matter."
Wang Hao didn't hide anything and revealed all his requirements, and also briefly introduced the educational situation at the base.
Upon hearing this, Ding Dian, who had been on edge, breathed a sigh of relief, and Ling Shuanghua solemnly replied, " Young Master Zhu, rest assured, Shuanghua will not fail your trust."
She might not be capable of many other things, but she excels at scholarship and teaching others.
In the past few years, she would always take the stage to lecture at the poetry gatherings held in Jiangling City, a feat that even some great Confucian scholars could not match.
"Then I'll leave it to Miss Ling!"
Wang Hao stood up and solemnly bowed to Ling Shuanghua. This was a bow on behalf of the children from Treasure Island of Ryukyu, and also a custom of the Huaxia mainland.
After all, respecting teachers is a great virtue in Huaxia, which also highlights the importance of teachers.
In Huaxia Confucian School, there is a saying that Heaven, Earth, Ruler, Parents, and Teacher are the most important people in a family, with the teacher being second only to the parents, which shows how high their status is.
"Brother Ding, I still have matters to attend to. I'll leave it to you to escort the fleet safely out of the Central Plains and back to its overseas base."
Finally, Wang Hao entrusted the fleet to Ding Dian and revealed his intention to leave.
In fact, if he didn't want to completely heal the scars on Ling Shuanghua's cheeks on the ship, he would have left long ago.
Now that the final treatment for Ling Shuanghua has been completed, there is no need for him to stay any longer; it is time for him to leave and attend to his own business.
Are you leaving?
Ding Dian was surprised, then solemnly replied, "Brother Zhu, rest assured, I will certainly ensure the fleet's safe return to its overseas base."
He was quite moved by Wang Hao's trust, after all, they had only known each other for four days, and now Wang Hao had entrusted the entire fleet to him.
It should be noted that this fleet may be carrying the treasures of the A Deadly Secret Jue. If Ding Dian had ulterior motives, he could easily seize them with his superior strength, and Zhou Xueyi and the other women would have no chance of resisting him.
That would be a huge loss for Wang Hao!
The fact that the other party entrusted this to him represented absolute trust, how could he not be moved?
At the same time, he made up his mind that he would risk his life to bring the fleet and the girls on board safely back to the overseas base.
"Well!"
Nightfall fell, Wang Hao stood on the deck of the last ship, looking at the merchant ship ahead and sighing Youyou.
Since that day, Zhou Xueyi has been avoiding him, even going to another ship. Even when they meet, she pretends not to see him with a cold face, clearly indicating that she was really angry that day.
Unfortunately, whether it was his Primordial World past life, the predecessor of this Smiling Proud Wanderer World at the World, or even his identity on Earth before transmigrating, he was a single dog with absolutely no experience in charming girls.
Therefore, he was also at a loss about this matter and couldn't think of a solution.
Shaking his head, Wang Hao sighed again in frustration. He ordered the boat to move closer to the riverbank. Once they were near the south bank, he first swung the Shameless Greatsword on his back towards the riverbank, then threw Wangcai, who was lying beside him like a dead dog, over as well.
Finally, he leaped suddenly and landed on the riverbank more than fifty feet away.
Although his current Lightning Straight-Line Step stride, that refers to an instantaneous burst of speed. If he doesn't pursue instantaneous speed, he can leap fifty zhang with all his might.
In other words, in terms of the standing long jump alone, he can jump 125 meters in one go, far surpassing the world champions on Earth.
If this were on Earth, he'd be a total Superman.
Unfortunately, it wouldn't be as good in the Smiling Proud Wanderer World; it's certainly not top-tier.
Although the Smiling Proud Wanderer World is a low-level martial arts world, the top experts within it are still extremely formidable, especially those old monsters at the Xiantian Grandmaster level.
Therefore, Wang Hao does not yet possess the strength to be Invincible and must develop his abilities cautiously for a period of time.
Unbeknownst to Wang Hao, in a room on the ship ahead, a beautiful figure peeked through a crack in the window at his departing figure, her expression complex, carrying an undisguised worry and resentment.
Unaware of all this, Wang Hao watched the fleet sail away, and finally, he and Wangcai, who had barely recovered, stepped into the mountains behind them.
Because he needed to conceal his presence, especially from the distinctive Shameless Greatsword and Wangcai, he didn't choose to go up from the dock. Instead, he chose a secluded riverbank with uninhabited mountains and forests behind it, perfect for stealth.
However, it was already dark, and not a good time to travel, so Wang Hao found a secluded spot and set up a simple campsite to rest.
Wangcai was also lying sprawled on the ground, his tongue sticking out.
It dislikes boating the most, especially this time it had been on a boat for such a long time, it really wore it out.
The most frustrating thing was that when we were unearthing the A Deadly Secret," it curiously licked it, and then it was completely defeated.
If it weren't for its own powerful Bloodline Power as a foundation, and Zhou Xueyi's timely discovery that allowed it to drink a whole jar of Nine Flower Jade Dew Wine, it would probably be a dead dog by now.
Even so, the poison has not yet been completely cleared from my body, and my overall condition is not good.
"You're such an idiot!"
Looking at Wangcai's dejected appearance, Wang Hao sighed, placed his palm on the guy's stomach, and carefully channeled his Innate True Qi into it, slowly clearing away the remaining toxins in his body.
The effects of Innate Qi are very powerful and comprehensive, and it has a strong detoxifying effect.
For example, the poisonous palm strike that Monk Xuancheng had previously inflicted on Xuancheng's chest and abdomen was slowly worn away by his Innate Qi, and it could naturally be used to remove the Wangcai poison now.
Of course, he didn't just detoxify the guy; he also used his Innate Qi to develop the guy's meridians and acupoints.
Animals, like humans, also have meridians and acupoints in their bodies, which can naturally be explored.
However, animals themselves have difficulty generating true qi energy on their own, and they also lack intelligence. Even if they were born, they would not know how to guide and circulate it throughout their bodies, so there has been virtually no development in this area.
However, Wangcai is different. With his physical strength, he had already Awakening a trace of Innate Qi. Although it was very rare, it was still a foundation.
What Wang Hao needs to do now is to guide this Innate Qi through the meridians in Wangcai's body, circulating it throughout the body and gradually strengthening it, while also letting Wangcai become familiar with and even memorize these circulation patterns.
While helping Wangcai, Wang Hao asked in his mind, " Xiao Mengmeng, is the body I'm currently inhabiting not just because of my deep Cause and Effect connection with that girl Dongfang Bai?"
He hadn't noticed it before, but after he had fully digested the memories of his past life in the Primordial World era, he finally discovered something very wrong.
