In the hospital ward.
We've entered.
Shen Qi's furrowed brows deepened.
The fog seemed to have gotten even thicker.
He reached out and touched Li Zijiu, who was still receiving an IV drip.
The thick fog seemed to have thinned a bit.
He gripped Li Zijiu's hand tightly.
The fog has dissipated...
Shen Qi stood by the hospital bed, silently holding Li Zijiu's hand.
This action lasted for more than an hour.
The attending physician didn't disturb them either.
Before this, Elder Li had said that if Chen Qi came in, no matter what she was doing, she should not be disturbed.
It's really hard to tell anything from looking at it.
The attending physician squatted down beside him and watched.
Hmm, I still can't figure it out.
One and a half hours.
Chen Qi let go of her hand and almost fell over.
The attending physician was startled: "Are you alright?"
He reached out to help her up, but Chen Qi shook her head: "No need, thank you, I'm fine!"
Can I stay here by myself for a while?
"...Yes, yes!" It's acceptable to consider Elder Li's suggestion as a family member.
Shen Qi looked at the attending physician without saying a word: ...
Okay, I got it!
The attending physician left on his own.
The moment the door to the intensive care unit closed.
Shen Qi said, "Tell me, what exactly happened? How did you end up like this?"
No one outside could see that a ghostly figure was standing at the head of the hospital bed.
It was Li Ziju.
"What can I do? I don't know when those guys gave me the Soul Separation Potion. I can't get in no matter what, so I had to follow them here. If I hadn't been keeping watch here, those wandering ghosts would have come over and fought me for the body long ago!"
"You're way too late!"
Chen Qi glared: "You're the sect leader of the Daoist sect, and you can't even handle this simple matter? Shameful!"
Li Ziju: "...Me? Am I just a shadow? Who can I possibly deal with?"
Chen Qi: ...That makes sense.
It was only then that Li Ziju brought up the matter of the shell.
It turns out that the original Li Zijiu was long gone.
It was only because Elder Li invited a master to seal a wisp of his soul inside his body that this shell did not break.
So Li Zijiu, who was a teenager, always stayed in the courtyard and never went out.
To be precise, he was lying in bed, like a patient, or rather, a patient who wasn't breathing.
Normal human breathing is continuous, but Li Zijiu, who only has a wisp of soul, is lucky if he can breathe once a day.
To avoid being discovered, Old Master Li personally took care of his grandson for many years.
Later, that wisp of soul was taken away at some unknown time, and Li Zijiu's physical body deteriorated day by day.
It's rotting away.
At this moment, Li Zijiu arrived to undergo his tribulation.
Old Master Li was almost in despair when he suddenly discovered that his grandson's health had improved dramatically and he had even woken up.
They just aren't as talkative or dramatic as before; it seems like they've grown up all of a sudden.
Despite being with him for several years, this kid has always been lying down.
It can grow up while lying down, and it even suddenly woke up when it was almost rotting... This is...
Li Ziju did not hide anything and told the truth.
Old Master Li wept bitterly, then told him, "You are my grandson Li Zijiu. Just seeing you makes this old man live a few more years!"
"If, and I mean if, a deity can help find my grandson's soul, please let me know. I will give anything, even donate all my assets, just to know that my son will be alright in his next life!"
Old Master Li is quite old; he's seen it all.
He knew that only Shen Qi could solve the problem.
