As soon as Zhang Yang heard Ding Weiwei say that, he immediately became honest and deliberately changed the topic to ask Chu Ruoxi, "Ruo Xi, Weiwei is a Leo. Didn't you say I'm an Aquarius, and it's unlikely for us to have a result?"
"I was just saying that casually. Don't change the subject; honestly confess, is it a case of wanting to catch but letting go?" Chu Ruoxi asked.
"No, that's really how I feel. But since both of you are willing, I can't force anyone, right?" Zhang Yang replied with a smile.
"However, it doesn't seem like wanting to catch but letting go. If we both leave, wouldn't he end up with nothing?" Ding Weiwei added.
"You were the one who said it was wanting to catch but letting go, and now you're saying it doesn't seem like that. Sigh," Zhang Yang interjected. In reality, Zhang Yang did have plans for both of them to leave, but after observing them closely, he only then spoke.
Because after observing them closely, Zhang Yang already knew they both wanted to stay. This kind of shared blessing was something he never dared to hope for, but Zhang Yang managed to penetrate their thoughts with his mind.
Zhang Yang had already merged with the higher level of Strange Soul, the green level. He never expected that upgrading to the green level would allow him to use his mind to perceive things on a spiritual level, such as what others were thinking. This was similar to Toothless Old Daoist's mind-reading technique. However, Toothless used Dao techniques while Zhang Yang relied on the power from the higher level of Fusion of Extraordinary Souls.
However, after using his mind to perceive, Zhang Yang felt a wave of dizziness. This was related to the fact that he had just merged into the green level and had not yet "solidified" it. Merging with the Yellow Level relied on absorbing Spiritual Energy from jade stones; by chance, the Yellow Jade Dragon Vein helped him speed up. Merging with the green level relied on precious medicinal materials; again by chance, the Bagua Infinite Formation stimulated his upgrade and an Imperial Ganoderma assisted in completing it.
According to the seven levels of Soul Cultivation, Zhang Yang knew that the next level was the cyan level. However, he was completely unaware of what power would solidify the green level or what would allow him to upgrade again to cyan or what changes would occur after upgrading.
At this moment, Ding Weiwei and Chu Ruoxi looked at the lost-in-thought Zhang Yang and felt a bit uncomfortable. Although both Ding Weiwei and Chu Ruoxi meant to be together with Zhang Yang at the same time, it was still quite awkward when all three were together.
"I'm leaving; you keep him company." The two unexpectedly said this simultaneously and couldn't help but laugh awkwardly.
"You both can go; I haven't seen Godmother in a long time. I want to chat with her," Zhang Yang said. The two thought they would gradually adapt in the future and nodded before leaving together.
Zhang Yang got out of bed and moved around a bit, feeling that there was no problem at all. He then sought out Time Rush to express his desire to be discharged from the hospital, and Time Rush agreed that it was fine for him to leave.
Zhang Yang suggested treating Time Rush to a meal, but Time Rush replied, "Let's go home; I'll cook. It's not clean outside."
Time Rush lived in a dormitory at Military Medical University alone in a two-bedroom apartment that was kept impeccably clean.
"I'll show you what I can do!" Zhang Yang entered the kitchen and said to Time Rush, who was busy. Ever since his grandmother passed away, Zhang Yang often cooked for himself. His culinary skills weren't exactly great, but they certainly couldn't be described as poor.
"Alright. I'll allow you to make one dish." Time Rush didn't doubt Zhang Yang's cooking skills; she just didn't like anyone entering her private kitchen. If he weren't her godson, she wouldn't let anyone else in at all.
Zhang Yang prepared a spicy and sour meatball dish. Time Rush's family usually had ready-made meatballs, but Zhang Yang preferred to make things that were tangy and vinegary, so he went with this recipe. After he finished cooking, Time Rush quickly got to work and soon served up two meat dishes and one vegetable dish.
"Here, I've filled a big bowl for you." Time Rush sat down and handed over a bowl of steaming rice.
As Zhang Yang chewed on the spicy and sour meatballs he made, he took the rice bowl, and his nose tinged with emotion, causing his eyes to redden.
"What's wrong?" Time Rush naturally noticed something was off.
"Nothing. It's just been a long time since someone served me rice, and it's been a while since I've felt this sense of home. Plus, these meatballs are really spicy," Zhang Yang sniffled and then smiled again.
"This child," Time Rush chuckled. "Why don't you stay in Yanjing for a couple more days and come home for meals?"
Now, Zhang Yang had become someone many feared, including some tough characters from the underworld, yet he had also earned the respect of many who willingly became his subordinates. But hearing her call him "child" warmed his heart deeply. He had long lacked maternal love, leaving a soft spot in his heart.
Then suddenly, Zhang Yang inquired about thoughts and intentions. "Can one person's thoughts perceive another person's ideas or even delve into deeper spiritual matters?"
Time Rush was a neurosurgery expert. "From a scientific standpoint, that's impossible. A person might deduce another's psychological activities based on their words, actions, or habits; that's psychology. However, perceiving someone else's specific thoughts lacks any scientific basis."
"As for what you mentioned about other spiritual matters—are you referring to something like the soul? That's even more superstitious."
"But I feel like Godmother is hesitating because some things can't be explained scientifically. You've encountered such phenomena while interacting with patients, right?" Zhang Yang pressed on.
"How do you know that?" Time Rush was clearly taken aback; she had no idea that Zhang Yang had sensed her thoughts with his mind. "I have indeed encountered such cases. There was a patient who survived a lightning strike to the brain; he started rambling nonsensically afterward. However, whenever he locked eyes with someone, he could accurately state what that person was thinking."
"Modern medicine really can't explain it," Time Rush said.
Zhang Yang thought to himself, since an expert like Godmother couldn't clarify it, there was no need to delve deeper. This Strange Soul advanced in layers, and he truly didn't know what bizarre things would emerge after merging with higher levels. Merging with a higher level of Strange Soul seemed purely a matter of luck on the surface, yet it also felt as if it were destined.
"However, many ancient concepts do have their merits. For example, the Five Elements—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth—these material forms indeed seem difficult to escape from these categories," Time Rush continued.
"Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth?" Zhang Yang suddenly repeated.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing. I just suddenly feel that many ancient concepts are truly profound," Zhang Yang replied. Yet in his heart, he thought about how he had used jade, which is associated with Earth, to advance from Orange Level to Yellow Level; then he used herbs, which are associated with Wood, to upgrade from Yellow Level to Green Level. Now, to merge into the remaining levels of Cyan, Blue, and Purple, would he need to utilize the remaining elements of Metal, Water, and Fire?
Seeing that Zhang Yang was lost in thought, Time Rush assumed he hadn't fully recovered yet. After finishing their meal, he suggested that Zhang Yang should head back to rest early.
Zhang Yang nodded in agreement and mentioned that he would come back to visit Godmother next time. He thought that since he was empty-handed this time, he must bring something good for Godmother next time. Just as he was thinking this, Time Rush said while seeing Zhang Yang off:
"Godmother hasn't given you anything decent yet; here, take this."
