Upon hearing this, Si Yi had a bad feeling. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Shouldn't you rescue the Princess first, Master?"
Upon hearing the words "Princess Consort," a slight ripple appeared in Gu Linchao's usually calm expression. He clenched his fists under his sleeves and said in a deep voice, "I have my own plans. You may make the arrangements."
"Yes." Si Yi didn't hesitate any longer. He got up and was about to go downstairs when he remembered something and asked, "Master Lingyin and Miss Shen are downstairs. They said they can heal your eyes. Should we have them treat your eyes first..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Linchao immediately connected the Lingyin Daoist with the old man. Without hesitation, he said, "No need, send him away."
Upon hearing this, Si Yi glanced at Wang Houde, hoping he would join him in persuading Wang Houde.
After all, only Master Lingyin can heal the master's eyes, so we really shouldn't miss this opportunity.
Wang Houde shook his head, not wanting to persuade him any further.
How could they possibly dissuade their master from making a decision? Unless it was the Princess...
Thinking of this, he lowered his head somewhat sadly.
The master may appear calm, but he must be suffering greatly inside.
Seeing this, Si Yi didn't say anything more and retreated.
Wang Houde took the robe and helped Gu Linchao put it on.
downstairs.
Shen Qingning and the Taoist priest Lingyin sat there for a long time, but they did not get invited up to treat Gu Linchao. Just as they were about to ask someone, Si Yi walked over.
Seeing this, Shen Qingning was overjoyed and stood up, thinking that they were going to ask them to go up and treat Gu Linchao. She quickly helped the Lingyin Taoist priest, who was sitting still, to his feet.
However, Si Yi walked over and said, "Our master has already woken up. You can leave. He doesn't need your treatment."
Shen Qingning's face stiffened, thinking she had misheard. After a long while, she finally said, "What did you say?"
Si Yi was too lazy to waste words with her and glanced at the guard beside him. "Take her out."
The guards immediately stepped forward.
Shen Qingning realized what was happening and said in disbelief, "You're lying! You're bluffing! How could the Prince refuse our treatment? You must have listened to Lü Qiao's instigation and are just repeating the Prince's words."
Si Yi sneered, "You take yourself too seriously. You're not even close to being someone I would lie to."
Before Shen Qingning could say anything, Master Lingyin pulled her back. "Qingning, forget it. Since he doesn't appreciate it, we don't need to be so cold to him. Let's go. Unless he never wants to regain his sight, he'll still come begging to us."
Shen Qingning's mind went blank. She couldn't understand why Gu Linchao didn't want them to treat him, even though they hadn't made any unreasonable demands this time.
The guards escorted the two men out and forbade them from entering again.
But Shen Qingning was unwilling to give up and lingered outside the door, refusing to leave. Master Lingyin had no choice but to stay with her.
Not long after, Gu Linchao, supported by Wang Houde and surrounded by a group of guards, walked out.
Upon seeing this, Shen Qingning rushed over, "Brother Gu..."
Gu Linchao did not stop walking. Whether he did not hear or did not want to pay attention, he was soon helped into the carriage by Wang Houde.
Green Fairy and White Pear came out and saw Shen Qingning. Although they were angry, they ignored her this time and quickly got into another carriage.
Shen Qingning stared wide-eyed at the carriage in front of her in disbelief.
By the time she realized what was happening, a group of people had already quickly left.
Shen Qingning stared blankly at the departing carriage. After a long while, she clenched her fists and said with a determined look, "Master, I want to go to the capital."
Master Lingyin advised, "Qingning, let's just forget about it. You saw it yourself; Gu Linchao completely ignored us. Let's go home first. If he wants to regain his sight, he'll come to us for help. Why should we travel all the way to the capital?"
You can't do business that's rushed; you'll be looked down upon.
"I don't care, I'm going to the capital." Shen Qingning wouldn't listen to him at all. She had finally found someone she liked, how could she just watch him slip away? She wouldn't give up.
It doesn't matter if Gu Linchao ignores her now, it's because he doesn't understand her. She will move him with her sincerity.
“Master, I have never asked you for anything since I was a child. Now that I have finally met someone who is perfect for me, please grant my wish?” She changed to a pleading tone.
"Qingning, if the other party were an ordinary person, I would have tied them up and brought them here to marry you. But the other party is not an ordinary person." Master Lingyin had a headache and suddenly regretted making such a condition to the other party last time.
Shen Qingning remained silent for a long time before suddenly saying, "Father, you have wronged my mother and me in your whole life. You swore to my mother at her bedside that you would treat me well."
Upon hearing this, the color drained completely from the face of the Taoist priest, "Qingning, you..."
She never called him "Dad," and he knew she still harbored resentment towards him. But he never expected that the first time she called him "Dad," she would present him with such a huge problem.
Looking at his daughter, whom he had wronged so much, Master Lingyin couldn't bring himself to refuse. After a long while, he finally nodded with difficulty, "Even if it costs me my old life, I will grant your wish."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingning smiled broadly and hugged his arm affectionately, saying, "Daddy is so good."
The Taoist priest smiled bitterly.
You have to swallow the bitter pill of your own actions.
I can only blame myself for being blinded by greed more than a decade ago, and actually having an affair with Qingning's mother...
He sighed deeply. "Let's go."
"Hmm." Shen Qingning's lips curled up slightly, her eyes flashing with determination.
...
When Wen Nongnong woke up, she found herself in a dilapidated temple, with dry grass lying beneath her. She was completely unable to move and could only use her eyes to figure out where she was.
