Chapter 705: Serious Illness
After the Lantern Festival, Ye Fei continued to focus on her cultivation.
Besides his regular cultivation, alchemy, and studying techniques and manuals, he also began to slowly come into contact with the book "Formless Steps" and incorporated the footwork from "Formless Steps" into his practice of Illusionary Steps.
Initially, the training was not successful because the Formless Step and the Illusionary Step are two completely different footworks. Finding the knack and integrating them is not an easy task.
Ye Fei was not discouraged. She was the kind of person who faced difficulties head-on, and that's how she had always gotten to where she was. She believed in herself and that with a little more time, she would definitely be able to completely integrate the two footwork techniques.
During the days that Ye Fei was focused on her cultivation, an urgent letter from the Yu family of Xingluo Kingdom was delivered to Yu Muhan once again.
Yu Muhan opened the envelope and stared at the words on the letter. His face turned pale instantly, and the letter fell to the ground.
Yun Fusang helped her pick up the letter, her gaze sweeping over the paper, which contained only one line of text—
Madam Yu is seriously ill; return immediately!
Yun Fusang's expression also changed: "Mu Han, your mother..."
Upon hearing Yun Fusang's voice, Yu Muhan snapped out of his daze and frantically grabbed her hand, crying, "I...I want to go home! I want to go home!"
"Okay, you should go back now. I'll tell everyone." Yun Fusang nodded.
Yu Muhan left the academy that same day and returned to Xingluo Kingdom.
As soon as I got home, the sound of violent coughing was clearly audible.
Yu Muhan rushed anxiously into the room: "Mother!"
"Cough cough..."
Mother Yu's face was deathly pale, blood trickling from the corner of her lips. She weakly opened her eyes, saw her daughter kneeling beside the bed, and gave a feeble smile: "Mu Han..."
"Mother! Mother, please hold on!" Yu Muhan burst into tears when she saw her mother like this.
We've only been apart for a few days, how come Mother's illness has gotten so much worse?!
Yu Muhan's mind went blank. What should she do? What should she do?!
Oh, right!
Xiao Fei knows medicine, so she's going to invite Xiao Fei to her home!
Yu Muhan walked out of the room and said to his father, who was standing outside the door, "Father, please take care of Mother a little longer. I'll be right back!"
Yu's father's face was full of anxiety and tension. In the days since his wife fell seriously ill, he had also become quite haggard. He couldn't eat or sleep well, and he looked ten years older all of a sudden: "Mu Han, where are you going?"
“I’ll go to my friend. She knows medicine and might be able to cure Mother’s illness.”
After comforting his father, Yu Muhan immediately left the Yu family mansion.
However, just as Yu Muhan stepped out of the gate, he saw a carriage stop not far from the Yu family mansion.
A man in white robes stood outside the carriage, smiling as he met Yu Muhan's gaze.
Yu Muhan recognized him; he was the Holy Order envoy who had come to deliver gifts last time!
But why would the Holy Order appear at this time?
Yu Muhan narrowed his eyes, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
The man in white strode over and stood in front of Yu Muhan, smiling as he said, "Madam Yu, it seems you're nearing your end?"
Yu Muhan was stunned for a moment.
It was at this moment that a terrifying thought flooded her mind, like a sharp needle, making her tremble all over: "...You did it?"
The man in white smiled but said nothing.
Yu Muhan stood there blankly, her face blank, constantly recalling the recent events. Suddenly, something occurred to her, and she couldn't control her emotions as she gripped the white-robed man's arm tightly: "What did you do to those gifts that were sent?!"
