Chapter Summary
Wei Xiong also knew about what had happened a few days ago, but he hadn't expected it to be related to Liu Ning. Wei Xiong felt he was growing further and further away from this brother; the other man never informed him of anything. Although they had felt that Liu Ning was getting further away from them during their recent gatherings, they also understood one thing more clearly: Liu Ning's strength was gradually increasing, while their strength remained at the same level.
When Wei Xiong entered, Liu Ning was staring blankly at the armored vehicle. Liu Ning hadn't been able to stay in the military camp for some time. Whenever he spent too much time there, he would think of his fallen brothers. If it weren't for his own mistakes, how could so many people have died? Wei Xiong also knew about what had happened a few days ago, but he hadn't expected it to be related to Liu Ning. Wei Xiong felt he was growing further and further away from this brother; the other man never informed him of anything. Actually, Wei Xiong didn't blame Liu Ning. Even if he had been informed, what help could he, with his soldier-level strength, possibly offer? He might even have needed Liu Ning to take care of him. It was better not to humiliate himself. In this situation, it was better to stay put. If he insisted on going, he would only embarrass himself.
"I've heard about this. Don't take it too seriously. That situation was unexpected by everyone. Even if you want to solve it, it's not something you can do alone. You've never seen anything like it before. You need to consider your role. Your contribution to society is enormous. If you hadn't stepped forward, Zhao Wudi probably wouldn't have been able to take him down. If you hadn't taken him down, our city might have been devastated, just like our settlement. If you hadn't woken up, what would our settlement be like now? It would have been swallowed up by someone else long ago. Don't you understand that? I'm telling you this to wake you up. Don't get stuck on this. It won't do you any good in the future."
Wei Xiong, being Liu Ning's elder brother, quickly grasped Liu Ning's thoughts. A few words from him eased Liu Ning's mind somewhat. Knowing Liu Ning's tendency to overthink and burden himself with unrelated issues, Wei Xiong addressed the problem directly. He explained that many things aren't as simple as you think, and in this situation, it's best to see the whole truth. For example, someone like Watanabe Taro—most people in the world have never even seen him. Should everything be blamed on you just because of one mistake? That's impossible. Therefore, Wei Xiong's approach was correct, making Liu Ning understand that nothing good could come of this situation.
“Brother Wei is right. I was a bit stubborn about this today. I didn’t call you over for any other reason than that we haven’t seen each other for a long time, and I’m about to go to the Central Base City. I thought we should have a meal together. If we could have a meal together, everyone would be happier. But I’ve run into this mess again, so I won’t take care of it. You’ve always been the one to arrange our meals. And after I leave, there are a lot of things at home that you’ll have to take care of. I’m not doing this at the last minute; I’ve just been too busy lately. Otherwise, I would have had a meal with the brothers already. If you all blame me, tonight we’ll have big glasses and drink until we’re all drunk.”
Liu Ning chuckled and said that Wei Xiong was also very happy to have dinner with Liu Ning. Although they had felt that Liu Ning was getting further away from them during their recent gatherings, they also understood one thing more clearly: Liu Ning's strength was gradually increasing, while their strength remained at the same level. Eventually, the gap between them would widen. If you could adjust your mindset, you would have more support in the future. If you were to dwell on this, you would not have any good luck in the end. It was precisely because of this that Liu Ning knew what to do when everything happened. Under these circumstances, everyone understood one thing even more clearly: friends are very precious, and we must stand together firmly, otherwise, there will be no good outcome in the future.
"Don't worry, the brothers all know what you've been up to lately. Look at what you've done. If you don't put in the effort, the rest of the city won't fare well either. I've called them all over. Nobody's angry with you. But we can't avoid drinking. We get together once or twice a month, but you never participate. Of course, we don't blame you. You've been busy. If you have time in the future, try to interact with everyone more. So, we can't keep up with you in terms of resources, but you have a lot to learn from us in terms of social experience. Some of your ways of handling things are too rigid. Not only do others find it unacceptable, but even I, as the elder brother, can't stand it. Let's find a good place to drink tonight."
Liu Ning quickly saw the good place Wei Xiong had mentioned. It was the same restaurant that was the gathering point, but it was completely different from before. It used to be like a roadside stall, but now it was a three-story building and looked like a mid-range restaurant. So Wei Xiong brought Liu Ning here. Of course, he knew Liu Ning's temperament very well. If Liu Ning were one of those people, he would definitely look for a fancy restaurant and wouldn't think of coming to a place like this. For Wei Xiong, this place was the best, a place that could foster good relationships among everyone. Liu Ning had also come from this place, so of course he wouldn't have any aversion to it. Otherwise, it would be too far north. This place had been supporting Liu Ning for more than ten years, so even though it was before his rebirth, Liu Ning still remembered this friendship.
The gathering that day was small, limited to people Liu Ning knew. Of course, Wei Xiong, in order to mentor the younger generation, also invited some of the soldiers and apprentices from the gathering point. If these people wanted to find a good future, they would have to follow Liu Ning. Liu Ning always needed soldiers and apprentices when he went out, so these people could go out and help. If just one or two people went out with Liu Ning, it could create several wealthy people. When these people returned, they would all donate money, which would be a good thing for the entire gathering point. Therefore, everyone was willing to participate in such a gathering. Everyone knew about Li Tie's situation. Now Li Tie was one of the richest people. If they could get involved with Liu Ning, their future would be incredibly bright. So, all of them came.
