Chapter 548 No Way Out



Upon hearing this, Pei Xuan felt extremely heavy-hearted.

The injuries on Qi Guze's body were most likely inflicted by assassins sent by the King of Mingyue Kingdom, but now, to treat them, he needs Red Vine!

If we have to get these red vines from the King of the Underworld Moon Kingdom, wouldn't that be handing over their secrets to the King of the Underworld Moon Kingdom?

If the King of Mingyue Kingdom decides to make them do something, then they will be under his control!

They originally thought that the King of Mingyue Kingdom was just an incompetent ruler, but now that Qi Guze has encountered such a thing, no one can look down on the King of Mingyue Kingdom now!

"Isn't there any other way?"

Pei Xuan asked the old doctor, he was certain that Qi Guze would most likely not ask the King of Mingyue Kingdom for the red vine seeds!

Then we'll have to find other ways to help Qi Guze!

The old doctor stroked his long beard with a puzzled expression, then turned to Pei Xuan and said, "Actually, there is another way, which is to harmonize Yin and Yang! Find someone whose internal energy attribute is completely opposite to your master's, and that person's internal energy must be comparable to his. Only in this way can we save him!"

If we were to find someone in the entire four kingdoms whose internal strength was comparable to Qi Guze's but whose attributes were opposite, there would only be one person—Princess Yinshan!

If it weren't for Xu Yuehuai, Qi Guze would definitely not have agreed to this method of balancing Yin and Yang!

The second method the old doctor suggested was even more impossible to achieve than getting Qi Guze under the control of the King of Mingyue Kingdom in order to obtain the Red Vine!

Duan Nian frowned and then asked the old doctor a question.

"Isn't there another simple way?"

"These are simply impossible methods!"

The old doctor sighed helplessly and packed his medicine box.

"If you can't even do this, then I have no other choice. Please forgive me, I have urgent business to attend to, so I'll take my leave now!"

Upon hearing this, Duan Nian wanted to ask more questions, but Pei Xuan grabbed her arm.

Pei Xuan then bowed to the old doctor: "The matter was urgent today, and I apologize for any offense I may have caused!"

The old doctor waved his hand, "I can understand that your master's life is in danger."

Pei Xuan then had someone give the old doctor some silver and properly saw him off.

After the old doctor left, Duan Nian turned to Pei Xuan and asked, "Are you really going to listen to what this old doctor said?"

"Are those methods he mentioned just a trap for us?"

Pei Xuan said, "Now that we are in the Mingyue Kingdom, this old doctor is the most renowned doctor in the entire Mingyue Kingdom, so what he says must be true."

"But we can't completely trust him. When we return to the Great Zhou Kingdom, we'll find other doctors!"

Duan Nian clenched his fist and said to Pei Xuan.

“Okay!” Pei Xuan nodded in agreement.

Qi Guze took some medicine to relieve his internal injuries, while Pei Xuan and Duan Nian, carrying their swords, stood guard outside Qi Guze's door like door gods.

Zhou Wan went to take care of Tie Xiong. She almost fainted when she saw how badly injured Tie Xiong was.

"Tie Xiong! Didn't you say that the four of us would retire to the mountains and forests?"

"We haven't even had a chance to enjoy good days yet, so please, nothing bad must happen to you!"

Zhou Wan held Tie Xiong's hand with one hand and kept wiping away her tears with a handkerchief in the other.

Zhang Ting tried to comfort Zhou Wan, saying, "Sister Zhou, please stop crying. If you keep crying, you might go blind!"

"When Tiexiong wakes up and sees your swollen eyes, he'll definitely feel sorry for you!"

"You should calm down and stop crying!"

Jiang Shichen, standing nearby, chimed in, "Yes, Mom! If you keep crying, Uncle Tie will start to dislike you!"

"I married a wife who cries all the time, and I can never have a moment's peace and quiet!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wan grabbed Jiang Shichen's ear.

"You little ingrate, now you're making fun of your mother?"

Jiang Shichen said, "Mother, you still have me!"

"Even if Uncle Tie never wakes up, I will always stay with you, Mom!"

Zhou Wan slapped Jiang Shichen's palm, "Are you cursing your Uncle Tie?"

Jiang Shichen said, "No! Mother, of course I also hope that Uncle Tie can wake up soon and get better quickly! But..."

However, Tie Xiong was seriously injured. His leg bones were completely shattered, one of his tendons was severed, and he had several scars on his face.

Even if Tiexiong is cured, it will probably be difficult for him to return to his former self.

Jiang Shichen felt that his mother would definitely not be able to stand being with a disabled man forever.

"There are no buts. You can go out now. I'll take good care of your Uncle Tie here!"

Zhou Wan's face was gloomy, and she waved for Jiang Shichen to leave the room first.

Seeing that Zhou Wan's expression was not good, Zhang Ting quickly pulled Jiang Shichen away.

"I didn't say anything wrong! I did everything for Mother's good!"

"Uncle Tie is a good man, but he's so badly injured, he doesn't look like he'll live much longer... I don't want my mother to suffer!"

Jiang Shichen counted on his fingers as he walked.

Zhang Ting said to Jiang Shichen, "But you can't talk like that in front of your mother. You know your mother cares a lot about your Uncle Tie. If you keep saying those kinds of things, your conscience will be hurt."

"This is not for your mother's good, but it keeps hurting her heart!"

"Brother Chen, you're over ten years old now, you really need to mature!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shichen pouted and frowned.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Ting finally heard Jiang Shichen give a strong "hmm".

Zhang Ting smiled and gently patted Jiang Shichen's head.

"Our Chen-ge'er is such a good boy!"

After saying that, Jiang Shichen stood tall and accepted Zhang Ting's praise.

After a while, Jiang Shichen acted as if nothing had happened, putting aside his worries, and helped Zhang Ting in the kitchen in the yard.

Upon learning of Qi Guze's accident, Anan rushed to Qi Guze's hospital room.

"How is the prince?" Anan asked Pei Xuan and Duan Nian, who were guarding outside the door.

Duan Nian saw that it was Anan who had come over, and then said to Anan, "You don't need to worry, Master is just seriously injured and needs to rest now!"

"Really?"

Anan was somewhat incredulous, and didn't know how badly Qi Guze was injured.

Currently, only Pei Xuan and Duan Nian know about Qi Guze's injuries; the rest of the people are unaware.

The two of them kept Qi Guze's injuries a secret from everyone else!

"Yes, you should go and rest first. We'll call you over once the master has recovered!"

"OK."

Anan couldn't just stand there waiting, so he gave them a few instructions and then turned and left.
