Chapter 583 – The Minor Prelude to the Major Event (2/2)
……

Chen Changsheng and Gou Hanshi had long since departed the room. Coming to a high balcony, they stood by the railing and gazed at the lake.
Chen Changsheng was keenly aware that the quarrel in the house could not be ended in such a short time, and there was no meaning to it. The only purpose in staying around to listen was to defile one's ears.
”Just why is this the case?” Chen Changsheng turned to Gou Hanshi and very seriously asked, ”Hybrids of human and demi-human blood truly are heavily discriminated against, but I also know very well that the Mount Li Sword Sect…at least Senior Su Li is not that sort of person. Why does he insist on blocking this marriage?”
Gou Hanshi knew that Chen Changsheng was a very straightforward person. Without enough reasons, it was simply impossible to convince him, so he straightforwardly replied, ”Zhexiu doesn't have much longer to live.”
Chen Changsheng had thought of many reasons, and with Xu Yourong's help, he had also heard about similar arguments, but he had not expected…that it really would be this way.
”Zhexiu's body truly does conceal some hidden dangers, but they absolutely can be treated.”
He had been treating Zhexiu for a very long time, and was still treating him now. He knew that an odd illness like the Tide Rush of Blood was truly difficult to treat. However, with the abundant experience he had gained from reconstructing Luoluo's and Xuanyuan Po's meridians, he believed that sooner or later, he would be able to find a perfect treatment solution.
Gou Hanshi glanced at him in surprise, saying, ”You know?”
Chen Changsheng replied, ”I've already begun treating him.”
Gou Hanshi contemplated this, then shook his head. ”Martial Granduncle has determined that he will die young. It's impossible for you to cure him.”
Chen Changsheng rebutted, ”In other aspects, I'm inferior to Senior Su Li, but he's no match for me in this aspect.”
Gou Hanshi thought of that teacher of his who had traveled far and wide and realized that this really was the case.
At present, Daoist Ji's name was not too widely known in the world, but several centuries ago, he had been the world's most renowned doctor.
Let alone the fact that his true identity was Principal Shang of the Orthodox Academy.
”You can convince me, but on this matter, you first have to convince Martial Granduncle. Or else I will not agree to Zhexiu coming to Mount Li to see her,” Gou Hanshi warned.”
Chen Changsheng replied, ”What need is there for this? They're just seeing each other. I'll guarantee that nothing else will occur.”
Gou Hanshi gazed at him and calmly said, ”That is Mount Li, the sect of myriad swords. Don't think about those stories of elopement written in books.”
The youths of the Orthodox Academy truly had thought in this direction and had even secretly made preparations. Upon being so easily exposed with a single sentence, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but feel somewhat embarrassed.
”If you're sure that you can cure Zhexiu's illness, why can't you wait until you cure him and then talk about this matter?”
Gou Hanshi had voiced the most crucial question.
Chen Changsheng replied, ”Lovesickness is also an illness. Zhexiu is still doing okay, but what of Qi Jian?”
Gou Hanshi recalled his junior sister's furious yells on that night and didn't know how to respond. After a long while, he finally said, ”I will relay your words to her.”
Chen Changsheng felt somewhat relieved, thinking, as long as she can hold onto some hope, Qi Jian will probably have an easier time living in Mount Li.
