However, if their plans tonight were postponed for another day, this person would be completely hopeless. "If he had met someone else, there would be no way. He's lucky. If it wasn't me who came today, he would probably have been a dumb, immobile wooden man for the rest of his life."
Zhou Weiyong, the driver, listened carefully to every movement in the carriage. When he heard Huangfu Ning's words, he was overjoyed: "So, he didn't become a living dead?"
Huangfu Ning replied: "No, so there is still hope, but it has to be quick."
If Su Zhirou knew that Lin Feng was still alive, she wondered what she would think. If ghosts and spirits really existed, she might have felt the urge to return to life after seeing this scene. If it were Tang Chen, he might have thought that Su Zhirou didn't want to wake up like this.
Lin Feng could be saved, but Lin Zhenzhen, still in the South Vietnamese camp, was beyond help. In the room where Su Zhirou had once lived, Lin Zhenzhen sat motionless on her bed with a blank look in her eyes, as if her soul had been seduced by a demon. Her hands, scratched by an unknown poisonous weed upon entering the Zhiyou Forest, and now festered from the miasma of the forest, which was filled with hundreds of toxins, were festered beyond belief. It would have been fine if it were just her hands; the festers were gradually spreading.
When Lian Xin saw her finger fall to the ground right in front of her eyes, and Lin Zhenzhen just stared blankly ahead with her eyes wide open, she immediately knelt in front of the doctor and said, "Doctor, please save her, she's still young!"
The doctor's face was filled with helplessness. They had previously thought Huangfu Xiong could find a solution, but in the end, "Alas, I'm sorry, I can't do anything. The miasma in Zhiyou Forest is something that no one in this world can cure. Unless you can meet a Daluo Jinxian, otherwise, alas."
Lian Xin collapsed to the ground helplessly. Why? She finally had a friend. Lian Qiao also passed away in such pain. Now Lin Zhenzhen was also going to face the same cruel ending: "How could it be like this..."
Shi Zairong signaled the doctors to go back and rest, then helped Lian Xin up from the ground. "Don't make things difficult for these poor doctors in my camp. They've really tried their best. From the time they found Lin Zhenzhen until now, they've basically had no rest."
Lian Xin expressed some confusion, "Zhenzhen may be naive, but she wouldn't be so foolish as to rush into Zhiyou Forest. The miasma in Zhiyou Forest is so faint you can see a light purple layer from afar. There's no way she didn't notice it!"
Shi Zairong sighed and said, "I don't know. If she can regain consciousness, she might know something."
Looking at Lin Zhenzhen living here alone, Lian Xin suddenly remembered that Lin Feng had protected her so much and would never let her leave Qinghe County unless something happened: "Why did she come here alone? Why didn't Lin Feng stop her?"
Shi Zairong was slightly taken aback and explained, "Didn't your eldest princess tell you that Lin Feng disappeared not long ago? According to reports, he was last seen in Qinghe County. He must have fallen into a trap set by Tianshu Tower."
Lian Xin had been feeling rather restless these past few days, often even in a daze. She couldn't recall whether Qinghe had mentioned this to her. However, if she hadn't read Tang Chen's file, she might not have known that Lin Zhenzhen had become what she was now. "...Lin Feng isn't here, so it's no wonder she's wandering around. I told her before that the Jianghu is dangerous and not at all like what's written in the books. Why didn't she listen to me?"
Shi Zairong glanced at the idiot-looking man and shook his head. No wonder Xie Zhuangshui and the others had been so excited when they told him that the Qingliang Valley army had entered Zhiyou Forest. That forest was truly a man-eating demon. If only it could be burned clean. "It's just youthful recklessness. By the way, are you planning to take her away, or are you just worried about her and came to see her?"
Lian Xin had originally wanted to take her back to Qingliang Valley to see a doctor, but Mo Yu, who had been able to treat this unique miasma, had died, and Chen Xin was far away in the capital. Perhaps someone from Bugui Peak could offer some help. But in this current situation, Bugui Peak was already difficult to reach, and the chances were slimmer now. "Second Master Chen is not in Qingliang Valley now, and since the doctors in Nanyue have done their best, taking her back would be…"
Seeing that Lian Xin didn't seem to have any intention of leaving with Lin Zhenzhen, Shi Zairong hurriedly advised, "No, you should take her back. Although my subordinates don't dare to do anything to her when I'm around, she's been in Liang State for so long, and many grassroots employees are eyeing her covetously. If you take her back to Qingliang Valley, it will be more convenient for you to take care of her, and secondly, I won't have to divide my attention. After all, she is my sister, and I don't want her to get into trouble under my nose. If Lin Feng can come back, I really don't know how I will explain it to him then."
Lian Xin thought about it and realized that Shi Zairong's proposal did have some basis. Putting aside other things, even among the Qingliang Valley army, with so many people, there would always be a few heartless and ruthless bastards sneaking in. "I need to ask the princess and the lady for their opinions on this matter."
Shi Zairong reminded him, "There are Qilin Guards outside the town watching. I don't know where they are, but if you look for them, they're probably willing to show themselves and help you ask first."
"Okay, I'll go now," Lian Xin said, and without saying anything else, he prepared to leave the town to find the Qilin Guards hiding in the dark. Although he didn't know if they were people he knew, they were all family, and they should not refuse his small request.
Shi Zairong opened his folding fan and blocked Lian Xin's way. "There's no rush. I might be a bit busy in the next few days. I have something else I want to ask Miss Lian Xin."
Lian Xin saw that Shi Zairong didn't look like he was joking with him, so he stopped and said with a fist. "Grand Master, please speak. Lian Xin will do his best."
Shi Zairong's expression suddenly brightened. "Don't look so serious. It's not really dangerous. You should have heard about Su Zhirou from your princess or Tang Chen, right?"
Lian Xin nodded and said, "I've heard of her and have seen her in person. When I returned to Qinghe County to look for the princess, it was thanks to her help that I was able to escape the pursuit of Tianshu Tower. Although she was trying to deceive me at the time, she still helped me a lot. Why is she here now?"
Shi Zairong gave a forced smile and said, "Perhaps, you could say that." They had originally arranged for someone to take Su Zhirou's ashes back to Qingliang Valley, but the awkward thing was that the person Xie Zhuangshui had arranged was incredibly inflexible. As a result, they'd already reached the valley entrance when they were beaten out. Fortunately, Lian Xin showed up, otherwise he'd have to find someone else.
