Beneath the Sword Pointer Waterfall, enduring the impact of the cascading water was, for Wang Ye, merely a form of physical exhaustion.

But undergoing these interviews with journalists, that was a form of mental fatigue.

The journalists were not content with just interviewing; during the process, they would set traps, catching people off guard and ensnaring them when they least expected it.

Therefore, when Wang Ye answered questions, he had to discern carefully before responding.

"Exactly!" Zhong Feng greatly agreed with Wang Ye's words, "If it weren't for worrying about these unscrupulous journalists fabricating nonsense online when we do not accept interviews, I wouldn't even bother accepting their interviews!"

Previously, Zhong Feng once declined to be interviewed by these journalists.

However, when they wrote their pieces, it was simply a case of making up stories.

Although the issue was quickly resolved by the authorities, since that incident, Zhong Feng has still accepted interviews.

"Right."

After voicing his complaint, Zhong Feng turned his gaze to Wang Ye and asked, "Where have you been these past few days? I haven't seen you at all."

Zhong Feng did not ask over the phone, but now he was curious.

After all, Wang Ye hadn't even taken the plane they were supposed to share to get here.

"I went to have some fun and clear my mind recently because of the issues I encountered while researching Traditional Chinese Medicine," Wang Ye shared his rehearsed reason.

Naturally, he couldn't tell Zhong Feng the real situation.

On one hand, it was not a realm Zhong Feng needed to be involved with, and on the other hand, even if Zhong Feng knew about the problem, there was nothing he could do to solve it.

Apart from worrying, anything else was futile.

"You," said Zhong Feng as he patted Wang Ye's shoulder, looking at him with a tinge of heartache, "are just too hardworking. Traditional Chinese Medicine in Dragon Country won't collapse without you, so you don't need to put so much pressure on yourself, and it's okay to relax once in a while."

This time, Wang Ye didn't heed Zhong Feng's words, but instead retorted, "Elder Zhong, you say this, but I've never seen you take it easy either, as if Traditional Chinese Medicine in Dragon Country couldn't survive without you."

"Ah? Hahaha."

The words made Zhong Feng laugh.

Even though he said such things to Wang Ye, in his heart, he felt as if Traditional Chinese Medicine in Dragon Country indeed couldn't do without him.

Therefore, Zhong Feng couldn't rest much during his research, immersing himself in the work, aiming to push Traditional Chinese Medicine in Dragon Country further in his lifetime.

Wang Ye and Zhong Feng shared a look, both of their faces breaking into a smile.

Then Zhong Feng turned his attention to the man who had been following him, asking, "What do you think about the person I've selected? Impressive, isn't he?"

As Zhong Feng spoke, his voice was thick with pride.

"It's not just you who's chosen him; I've taken interest in him too," said the man who had been by Zhong Feng's side, removing his mask and other such coverings from his face, his black pupils above the sword-like brows assessing Wang Ye, his resolute face smiling.

Wang Ye was momentarily astonished to see the man, having not expected him to appear here.

"Surprised?"

The square-faced man asked Wang Ye, his face bearing a playful grin, as if surprising Wang Ye was quite the achievement for him.

"It's alright."

Wang Ye may have been initially surprised, but after sorting through his thoughts, he wasn't so taken aback afterward.

Wang Ye knew the reason the square-faced man had come was...

If it had merely been to protect Zhong Feng, despite the latter's importance, there would be no need for the square-faced man to personally escort Zhong Feng.

Thus, there had to be another reason for the square-faced man's presence, which must surely be because of... himself.

"Elder Zhong."

The square-faced man turned his head to look at Zhong Feng and said, "Elder Zhong, there are some matters I need to discuss with Wang Ye next."

"Sure," replied Zhong Feng cheerfully, retreating to his own room to start preparing for the demonstration materials he would need for the competition the next day.

Though Zhong Feng had already prepared everything before arriving,

he was not the type to sit still. If he could make further progress with these preparations before the competition, wouldn't that be wonderful?

The square-faced man watched Wang Ye, still wearing an amused smile, and even when speaking to Wang Ye, his tone carried that playfulness as he began, "No matter what, Zhong Feng would never guess that when you mentioned going out to clear your head, you actually took care of an S-class assassin, right?"

Wang Ye was not surprised that the square-faced man knew of this incident.

If Li Ying could be aware of it, then the square-faced man, with his significant status in the military department of Dragon Country, would hardly be oblivious to the fact. If he hadn't known, it would have been more surprising to Wang Ye.

"It's a pity I didn't eradicate more of those scum from the Dark Wing Angel Organization," Wang Ye lamented, thinking of the numerous Dark Wing Angels that he could have eliminated in merely ten seconds, yet he was still unable to do so.

It left him feeling somewhat regretful.

"No, you should be thankful," the square-faced man countered, shaking his head. "After all, even if that SS-class presence hadn't appeared, according to our intelligence, there were at least three S-class presences on Dam Island. Those three S-class beings could have kept you there."

As the square-faced man said this, he scanned Wang Ye's face for any changes in expression.

He expected that Wang Ye would be quite surprised by this intelligence, which would surely show on his face in the following moments.

However,

Wang Ye's face remained utterly calm, as if he had known about it from the beginning.

This brief pause surprised the square-faced man; after all, this information was top secret.

Why did Wang Ye seem as if he had already been aware of it?

That shouldn't be the case.
