However, Wang Ye still hesitated.
After all, he had only met Yuan Shuo today.
Before today, he had never had any contact with Yuan Shuo.
He had not even tried to understand what kind of person Yuan Shuo was.
Now, Yuan Shuo was asking him to cooperate with the other party, but what if the other party intended to trap him?
Seeing that Wang Ye had not responded, Yuan Shuo continued to send a voice transmission:
"Cooperate with me, I am trying to obtain benefits for you!"
There was a hint of helplessness in Yuan Shuo's tone as he transmitted his message.
I am trying to obtain benefits for you!
What are you hesitating for at this time!
I am not trying to harm you!
Upon hearing Yuan Shuo's transmission, Wang Ye was somewhat moved; was Yuan Shuo really trying to obtain benefits for him?
At that moment, Wang Ye decided to give it a try.
Although he had distrusted Yuan Shuo just before, now Wang Ye thought it over and realized that as the president of the Xijiang Province Martial Arts Association, Yuan Shuo had no reason to deceive him.
He might as well reluctantly cooperate with Yuan Shuo then.
Thinking this, Wang Ye's body swayed slightly, staggering a step or two backwards, and even his voice lacked its usual forcefulness:
"No, the injuries on my body are not serious, I should recover fully in a day or two."
As he spoke, Wang Ye's lips trembled.
Sweat began to form on Wang Ye's forehead at the same time.
Wan Qing watched Wang Ye stagger a few steps backward and wanted to step forward to support him, but Yuan Shuo was the first to catch him.
Wan Qing couldn't be allowed to support Wang Ye.
As a Third Grade Martial Warrior, even without medical knowledge, one could generally sense if there was something wrong with someone upon contact.
If Wan Qing were to support Wang Ye, it would blow his cover.
Yuan Shuo, while supporting Wang Ye, couldn't help but reflect inwardly.
What a guy.
When he had first asked Wang Ye to cooperate, Wang Ye had not complied, and in his eyes, Wang Ye could have been a good person.
But now, in Yuan Shuo's heart, all he wanted to say was, a good person? Good my ass!
This kind of deception was likely not new to Wang Ye.
Look how familiar he is.
The acting skills, so formidable!
No wonder, Wang Ye could have been an actor; his acting skills are simply too impressive, so real!
Those unaware would think that Wang Ye was severely injured and on the brink of death, about to die at any moment.
Yuan Shuo glanced at Wan Qing and spoke to him, "Look what you have done to him."
"I..."
Seeing Wang Ye's weak expression, Wan Qing felt even more remorseful.
Especially since Wang Ye, although severely injured, kept insisting he was fine.
"Don't worry, it's nothing." Wang Ye continued, but after saying this, he coughed a few times.
Even though he was acting, Zhou Jiang did not deceive people.
The deceiver was Yuan Shuo, while Wang Ye had always stated he was fine and that it was unrelated to him.
Wang Ye thought this to himself while he acted.
However.
The more Wang Ye said this, the guiltier Wan Qing felt in her heart.
Seeing the right moment, Yuan Shuo took the opportunity to speak, "By the way, Wan Qing, don't you have some Rushfield Pills, which were given to you when you were about to advance to a Third Grade Martial Warrior?"
Damn it!
Upon hearing Yuan Shuo utter these words, Wang Ye cursed inwardly.
He knew what Yuan Shuo was up to!
Trickery!
Tricking Wan Qing out of her possessions!
Although Wang Ye was somewhat puzzled why Yuan Shuo, who seemed to be an ally of Wan Qing, would want to trick her, since the goods tricked out of her would benefit him, Wang Ye didn't ask further.
Instead, he told the plain truth.
He was fine!
As for how he had acted, his body indeed felt a bit more comfortable than he had let on, and that was all.
If others could eat a peach and merely comment it was refreshing, then what was wrong with him exaggerating his pain a bit after having been slightly injured?
No problem!
"Right." Wan Qing probably hadn't expected that Yuan Shuo would trick her at this moment, and since it wasn't a secret, she directly nodded and agreed when Yuan Shuo asked.
"Anyway, it was initially for your breakthrough to Third Grade Martial Warrior, but you didn't get to use it since you advanced too quickly. This one Skyrocketing Pill is of no use to you now. Why not just give it to Wang Ye?"
Upon hearing Yuan Shuo's words, Wan Qing slightly frowned.
Though it was true that she couldn't use the Skyrocketing Pill, she knew how valuable it was.
In this world, Peak Fourth-Rank Martial Warriors were neither uncommon nor common, yet less than one-tenth of them had the chance to use a Skyrocketing Pill, which many desired.
Yes, less than one-tenth!
Martial Warriors, having reached the peak as a Fourth Grade Martial Warrior, generally enjoyed a not-too-shabby status and weren't exactly short on money.
Yet, even in such circumstances, less than one-tenth of them possessed a Skyrocketing Pill.
Even more so, some Martial Warriors at the peak of Fourth Grade had never even heard of the "Skyrocketing Pill."
This alone could attest to how precious the Skyrocketing Pill truly was.
However, at this moment, Yuan Shuo was actually asking her to give her Skyrocketing Pill to Wang Ye.
Upon hearing Yuan Shuo say this, Wan Qing immediately furrowed her brow.
Wang Ye had continuously been observing Wan Qing's facial expressions and when he saw the change in her expression, he knew that getting the Skyrocketing Pill from Wan Qing was an impossible feat.
The expression on Wan Qing's face clearly showed reluctance.
However, Wang Ye had overlooked Yuan Shuo's tactics.
The Xijiang Provincial Government Martial Arts Association President, noticing the change in Wan Qing's expression, continued to speak, "Wan Qing, don't you see, was it not because of you that Wang Ye got injured? If it weren't for that, Wang Ye wouldn't have gotten hurt at all."
Wan Qing looked at Wang Ye, who still waved his hand and even tried to refuse Yuan Shuo's support, telling Wan Qing that he was fine.
Deep down, Wan Qing's feelings of self-reproach intensified…
In such a situation, Wan Qing even wished that Wang Ye would stop saying he was fine and just admit he was severely injured. That way, she wouldn't feel so guilty.
But now, the way Wang Ye was acting made her feel even guiltier.
Yuan Shuo continued to coax persuasively, "Look, keeping it doesn't do any good for you, and it was you who hurt Wang Ye. Can you really bear to let him continue suffering like this?"
