Wan Mei looked at the people in the room with a conflicted expression, her mind racing with countless thoughts. She really didn't understand how a person could live without a heart.
"Wan Mei? What brings you here? You've come at the right time. Take a look at Gu An and tell me with your medical skills what's wrong with him."
Jiang Ruan's healing techniques had restored most of his body, but they still couldn't wake him up.
Only one person can enter the spiritual spring in the space at a time. The baby hasn't come out yet; it will take about another week.
Jiang Ruan was worried about what would happen a week later.
Wan Mei sighed and swallowed the secret back. The secret remained unknown precisely because of its mystery.
So I don't plan to tell Jiang Ruan yet; I'll wait until she actually knows before I do.
"His illness is somewhat unusual; perhaps it can be cured once your healing skills are upgraded by one level."
Wan Mei is right. Jiang Ruan had only heard of it in legends. Once the healing technique reaches its highest level, it can bring the dead back to life and revive the wounded.
"Well... let's leave it at that for now."
Jiang Ruan thought about the rumors Du Chong had told her about her death, and she always felt that Gu An would have some thoughts about it. Who knew that he would fall into a coma.
So, after coming out, she turned to Qingfeng and Mingyue and said, "Do you know about Gu An's hidden illness? Why has he been doing this so often lately, and even now he's been sleeping for a long time?"
The two shook their heads, indicating they didn't know the reason. They wondered to themselves, "Why has our boss, who has always been as strong as steel and invincible, become so vulnerable?"
unless......
Suddenly, the two of them thought of what happened two years ago, when Gu An made a huge sacrifice. This made their hearts tighten, and a trace of panic and worry flashed in their eyes.
Could it be that the sacrifice had an indelible impact on the leader? This thought made them uneasy.
Jiang Ruan felt even more puzzled. Why did they know but not say anything? What was going on?
She glanced at the two of them out of the corner of her eye and saw the different look in their eyes. After thinking for a moment, she turned around and ran into the space.
"Xiaoyu, find out what happened to Gu An two years ago."
Wen Yu was guarding the baby by the spiritual spring when she saw Jiang Ruan running over with a gloomy face. Alarm bells rang in her heart, and she quickly opened the door after hearing what he said.
By the way, "Master, two years ago, Gu An was drowning his sorrows in a bar. The music was lively, but he was melancholy. Everyone around him was laughing and joking, but his place was shrouded in gloom."
Everyone was already afraid of him, and after he made them not even dare to get close, so the seducer didn't dare to approach either..."
Seeing Xiaoyu talking nonstop, Jiang Ruan interrupted her: "Get to the point, why has he been sick for so long? I need to know what happened years ago that caused him to become like this. There must be a reason for this."
Jiang Ruan frowned, and a feeling of oppression in her heart suddenly dissipated. She knew that it was probably related to herself.
“Master… I saw it, but he sealed this secret at the cost of his own lifespan. If you really want to know, you must spend three years of your lifespan. His lifespan.”
Xiaoyu was stunned when she saw the truth. In this world, there were actually people who could use their own lifespan to sign a contract with such a thing.
If it were anyone else, it would definitely call him utterly foolish, but since this person is Gu An, it becomes somewhat mysterious.
"What? Is that so!" Knowing that she still couldn't know the secret this time, Jiang Ruan already knew some of it, because two years ago was when she was reborn.
It's highly likely that he did something to help him be reborn and take revenge. Yes, it must be him.
Because besides Jiang Ruan, he was also a reborn person.
This realization further solidified Jiang Ruan's desire to return home; perhaps revisiting her homeland would reveal something.
"Xiaoyu, no need. Let him keep this secret. I don't want to know anymore." Jiang Ruan's tone was devoid of regret or resentment, but rather carried a hint of relief.
"Ah...yes, yes, Master. I will take good care of you, little Master. Please feel free to do whatever you need, don't worry about us."
Because of the spatial upgrade, Xiaoyu is now able to fully materialize and stand in front of Jiang Ruan, and she is still a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
Seeing her so confident, Jiang Ruan felt greatly comforted.
The next day, she took Duan Yu and Du Chong and left the Western Continent for the Eastern Continent.
Before leaving, he instructed the remaining people to take good care of Zhang Yang during his recovery period, Gu An who was in a coma, and An Xia who was somewhat mentally unstable.
Along the way, smoke billowed everywhere, and cracks appeared all around, where crops had long since turned to ashes due to the prolonged drought.
The crowd had already moved to government-provided shelters. Therefore, the area is sparsely populated.
I occasionally saw a few zombies, but they weren't very combative. I suppose just as people become listless without food, so do zombies.
“Miss Jiang, we’re almost there. I think I see Du Chong standing at the entrance.” Jiang Yan has good eyesight and spotted him immediately.
Jiang Ruan peeked out and saw Du Chong, dressed in black, waving and shouting excitedly.
