Divine Doctor from the Start of the Eye Mutation

Chapter 1952 1953: So Pitiful

Ling Zhenfei thought back to the kind of vegetables Murong Liuqing used to eat up in the mountains; no wonder she could stomach this stuff—turns out she really had never tasted anything good.

The old man said, "I imagine there are a lot of people on Wuliang Mountain who are about the same as you."

Murong Liuqing said, "They're okay. Some of them have family, so they often go home to visit. But I don't have any family, so there was no need for me to go down the mountain."

Ling Zhenfei was stunned and said, "That's not right, I heard you had family, and you often went down the mountain."

Murong Liuqing said, "Actually, she passed away a few years ago. Every time I said I was going home to visit relatives, it was just an excuse. In truth, I just found a place at the foot of the mountain to continue my cultivation."

Ling Zhenfei let out a sigh and said, "You really are quite pitiful." Then something suddenly occurred to him, and he said, "You went up the mountain as soon as you turned four, so there must be a lot of things you've never seen before, right?"

Murong Liuqing said, "Actually, when Sun Wei talked about taking a plane, I had no idea what he meant by that."

No wonder Murong Liuqing was so against this whole thing—it turned out she simply didn't know what a plane even was.

Ling Zhenfei said, "You've given up way too much for cultivation. No wonder you're so powerful. But cultivating like that, do you really not care about the world outside at all?"

Murong Liuqing said, "Originally I didn't care. But ever since that day I ate what you cooked, it was like my entire worldview just collapsed.

Because it felt like that kind of thing shouldn't even exist in this world, so I was really shocked. From then on, I started to feel a bit curious about the outside world."

Ling Zhenfei said, "As long as you're curious about the outside world, that's good. This time I'll properly show you what this world is like."

Murong Liuqing nodded and said, "Thank you so much."

It was the first time Ling Zhenfei discovered that Murong Liuqing could actually be this gentle, almost like she'd turned into a different person.

Maybe even the hardest people have their moments of vulnerability.

Up on Wuliang Mountain, everything was familiar to Murong Liuqing. That place was just somewhere you needed to cultivate; as long as your cultivation Realm was high enough, that was all that mattered.

You could say Wuliang Mountain was very simple—so simple that you only needed to cultivate and didn't have to worry about anything else.

Murong Liuqing was very used to that kind of environment. She advanced in cultivation very quickly, and she was also the disciple of the Master of Wuliang Palace, respected by everyone. Even if she said something wrong or did something wrong, it was fine.

But once she came down into the world below the mountain and saw so many strangers, saw cars running along the highways, there were just too many things she wasn't familiar with.

Back on the mountain, everyone's respect for her was basically just respect for Wuliang Mountain.

Back then, even people like Sun Wei didn't dare speak so bluntly in front of Murong Liuqing, but now it was different.

Why should people be afraid of you anymore? You're already out of Wuliang Mountain; they're not your subordinates, and they're not under your control.

So this was the first time Murong Liuqing truly felt her own fragility and powerlessness.

But she was able to think it through: even if you're cultivating up on the mountain, you can't just be completely clueless about what's happening in the real world, right?

She hadn't gone down the mountain many times before, but in recent years, every time she went down she felt that the changes below were happening with each passing day.

So it was the same this time—the changes were just too fast, her eyes could barely take it all in, which was why she said those things to Ling Zhenfei.

Right now, Murong Liuqing was basically like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden—everything she saw was new and fascinating.

Ling Zhenfei said, "From now on, you just talk less and follow me. I definitely won't let you be late."

Ling Zhenfei chatted with Murong Liuqing for a while about some things in this world.

Some of the things that had happened in the world, and also the things Murong Liuqing herself wanted to know.

Ling Zhenfei realized that Murong Liuqing was actually really eager to learn about the outside world.

Early the next morning, the three of them—Ling Zhenfei and the others—took a car straight to the nearest airport.

And he took Murong Liuqing onto a plane for the first time in her life.

Murong Liuqing was extremely interested in this big guy under her feet, and she didn't even know why they had to get on such a huge thing.

Ling Zhenfei didn't see any need to explain too much to her.

But when the plane took off, Murong Liuqing was so shocked she couldn't even speak.

This time, Ling Zhenfei had bought business-class seats. Sun Wei and Zhang Zhenlin sat together, while Ling Zhenfei and Murong Liuqing were seated fairly close to each other.

Murong Liuqing was excitedly looking left and right, while Ling Zhenfei reclined in his seat with his eyes closed, resting.

Just then, a pretty flight attendant walked over, crouched slightly by Ling Zhenfei's side, and said next to him, "Li Hao, Mr. Ling, could I take a photo with you?"

Ling Zhenfei hurriedly sat up and said, "Of course you can."

The flight attendant was very happy. She took out her camera, then said to Murong Liuqing, "Li Hao, miss, could you help us take a photo?"

Murong Liuqing was a bit dumbfounded; she had no idea how to use that camera.

At that moment, Ling Zhenfei said, "I think we can just take a selfie."

The flight attendant smiled, then held the camera up and took a selfie-style picture with Ling Zhenfei.

Then she said thank you and left.

Murong Liuqing asked Ling Zhenfei in surprise, "Why did that woman want to take a photo with you?"

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "Maybe she just thinks I'm easy on the eyes."

Murong Liuqing didn't really believe it and said, "How could there be such a thing?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "If she didn't think I looked pleasing, then why take a picture with me? To disgust herself when she looks at it later?"

As the two of them were talking, someone suddenly walked up from behind and stopped next to Ling Zhenfei.

"Li Hao, Mr. Ling."

Ling Zhenfei looked over at him. It was a middle-aged man of about forty.

From his clothes and his bearing, it was clear this man wasn't simple—at least his usual status wasn't ordinary.

But Ling Zhenfei didn't know who he was.

"Li Hao." Ling Zhenfei shook hands with the man.

The man said, "Li Hao, Mr. Ling, I know you don't know me. My name is Fu Yu. I do business in the Provincial City. I've really heard so much about you. Running into you on a plane today is truly my honor."

Ling Zhenfei said, "You're too polite. From your refined way of speaking, you're clearly not an ordinary person either."

Fu Yu smiled and said, "I'm just a businessman, reeking of money. I wonder if Mr. Ling would be willing to come over there so we can have a proper chat."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, then said to Murong Liuqing, "I'll be back in a bit."

Murong Liuqing was a little dazed; she hadn't expected Ling Zhenfei to be so famous that so many people knew him.

Ling Zhenfei stood up and followed Fu Yu over to his original seat.

Fu Yu's seats were in a facing arrangement—four seats facing each other with a table in the middle. As soon as Ling Zhenfei sat down, someone brought over coffee. It really did look like proper business class.

Ling Zhenfei said, "What did you want to see me about, sir?"

Fu Yu said, "Mr. Ling, I know your identity is special. You're an actor, a singer, and most famously the Divine Doctor. But I also know you're a businessman."
