"How could this be?" Lu Jin'an didn't understand why, after she finally woke up, this person had lost his spiritual power.
He tried to use his spiritual power to find Gu Zhilin's soul.
"General Lu, your spiritual power is too weak right now. If you use the Spirit Gathering technique again, you really won't be able to come back." Wen Yili's weak voice suddenly rang out.
Lu Jin'an then looked at the boy in the next bed.
He paused for a moment, then said, "Are you alright? Thank you for this."
Wen Yili nodded and said, "Don't worry, Master is just too tired. I already checked his spiritual power when I woke up a few days ago. His spiritual power is dormant in his sea of consciousness."
"When will he wake up?" Lu Jin'an asked hurriedly.
"I don't know." Wen Yili sighed. "Master's soul was seriously injured this time, and he may need to recuperate for a period of time."
"Is there no way to help him?" Lu Jin'an asked, unwilling to give up.
"General Lu, even if you want to help my master, you need to take care of your body and soul first. You should know very well that if it weren't for my master, you would already be dead. I hope you cherish the life my master gave you." Wen Yili's tone was icy, without the slightest bit of politeness.
Lu Jin'an was completely stunned.
Jiang Jiyang heard his harsh tone and wanted to say a few words in defense of Lu Jin'an.
However, Lu Jin'an spoke up himself: "Yes, Gu Zhilin saved my life with great difficulty, so I can't help but cherish it."
After saying that, he looked at Wen Yili as if he were a lifeline: "His soul is still alive, right? As long as I take good care of myself and recover both my body and soul, can I help him?"
This time, Wen Yili didn't refuse. He simply said, "Your pheromones are compatible, and your souls should be too. Your master is willing to accept your pheromones, so they should be able to help him in the future."
When Wen Yili said this, his tone was somewhat disappointed.
He had overheard a doctor surnamed Zhou visiting Gu Zhilin while he was asleep these past two days, and it was from that doctor that he learned that the two of them had such a high pheromone compatibility.
And it's still improving.
This can only mean that the master is truly accepting this man.
Even if he was unwilling, he knew that he could only feel at ease if he protected Master Lu Jin'an.
After hearing Wen Yili's words, Lu Jin'an finally saw hope again.
He squeezed Gu Zhilin's hand tightly, then gently released it and turned to Jiang Jiyang, saying, "Take me back. I need to take good care of myself now."
Jiang Jiyang didn't expect that this person would go to see Gu Zhilin as soon as he woke up, disregarding his physical condition.
Now, however, because Wen Yili said that his pheromones could awaken Gu Zhilin, he immediately has to go back to recuperate.
Wen Yili isn't a doctor.
Lu Jin'an was clearly reluctant to part with Gu Zhilin. Even as he urged Jiang Jiyang to send him back quickly, his eyes remained fixed on Gu Zhilin.
Anyone could see the reluctance in his eyes.
"Since you're so reluctant to part with it, why don't you watch it a little longer?" Jiang Jiyang said, somewhat speechless.
But Lu Jin'an shook her head: "I need to recover quickly so I can help him."
He then looked at Wen Yili and said, "You should get some rest."
So he forced his eyes closed, afraid that if he looked at the unconscious man on the bed again, he would really be reluctant to leave.
Although Jiang Jiyang was angry, he treated Lu Jin'an's rudeness with politeness, but Lu Jin'an had indeed helped him.
Moreover, he was injured, although he didn't know exactly where the person was injured that caused all his spiritual power to disappear.
But he knew that this person could be considered Lu Jin'an's savior.
So he said, "I'm right outside the next ward. You can call me if you need anything."
Wen Yili didn't answer, but just looked at the man on the next bed, seemingly lost in thought.
Jiang Jiyang didn't expect this person to pay any attention to him, and pushed Lu Jin'an's wheelchair away.
Wen Yili had just woken up. He had been in a daze for the past few days, and his severe lack of mental energy had made his already poor physical condition even worse.
Fortunately, even so, he did not forget to use the meditation method taught by Gu Zhilin to restore his mental strength.
So these past few days he's either been in a deep sleep or meditating.
She had just woken up when she sensed someone in the room. When she opened her eyes, she saw Lu Jin'an preparing to use her mental power to search for her master's soul.
This person was someone Master had tried so hard to save but couldn't.
He couldn't just watch him die.
So he spoke up and stopped the man's actions.
His eyes were fixed on Gu Zhilin beside him, and he felt a little aggrieved: "Master, isn't it better to choose me?"
"Yes! You met him first, so why can't he choose you? What is Lu Jin'an? He's the one who came later and surpassed her?" A seductive voice echoed in Wen Yili's mind.
Wen Yili was stunned for a moment, not understanding how the voice came about.
"Don't look for me, I'm not here, but I'm also everywhere." The voice seemed to know everything Wen Yili was thinking.
"Who are you?" Wen Yili asked in his mind.
"Who I am is not important. What is important is whether you are content with being just the apprentice of the person you like, watching him pair up with someone else."
"What do you want to do?" Wen Yili continued to ask.
“It’s not that I want to do anything, but don’t you want to do something? Gu Zhilin is very weak right now. If you’re willing, I can help you make sure that when Gu Zhilin wakes up again, he doesn’t remember that Lu Jin’an exists.”
"And once Lu Jin'an dies, she'll never be able to compete with you for Gu Zhilin, right?"
The voice was low, yet incredibly seductive.
Wen Yili seemed to be deep in thought, and after a while she spoke softly, "There's no way you can compete with me for Gu Zhilin?"
"Yes, I can make Gu Zhilin's heart belong only to you, and from now on no one will be able to take him away from you."
Will it hurt him?
"Of course not, I'm just helping you fight for him, not hurting him."
Wen Yili remained silent and did not answer, and the voice seemed very patient and did not urge him for an answer.
Back in her hospital room, Lu Jin'an was completely unaware of the temptations Wen Yili was now facing.
He simply called the doctor and began asking about his recovery plan.
"General Lu, you have injured your heart meridian this time. Our advice is to treat it slowly and gradually," the doctor explained patiently.
This General Lu became extremely dissatisfied when he saw that the recovery plan in his hands only covered three months from now.
"Three months is too long. I need to hurry," Lu Jin'an said with dissatisfaction.
"But General Lu, while other options may allow for a faster recovery, the pain involved is immense." The doctor was very worried; given Lu Jin'an's current physical capacity, he feared Lu Jin'an wouldn't be able to withstand it.
But Lu Jin'an had already made up her mind: "It's alright, as long as you recover quickly."
