Chapter 519: Chapter 526: Fierce Struggle
Since it was arranged by Han Yu, though the Divine Doctor made many difficulties for Sikong Ling, in the end, Sikong Ling managed to solve them and spent a great deal of money to hire the Divine Doctor.
Han Yu wasn’t being petty, trying to take revenge against Sikong Ling by doing this, but rather Sikong Ling was a man of deep thoughts and suspicion. If it had been too easy to invite the Divine Doctor over, he might have suspected there was a catch, making future plans more difficult to execute.
In fact, if possible, Han Yu didn’t want other men to do anything for his wife at all. The more Sikong Ling did, the more it indicated his deepening affection for his wife, yet there was no other way.
Han Yu could feel deep-seated ‘malice’ from Sikong Ling, and knew that trying to leave with his wife would be fraught with difficulties. Keeping some cards close to his chest would make future plans smoother, especially using the status of the Divine Doctor – something even Sikong Ling had to be wary of, perhaps needing it for his own actions later on.
Su Wenyue’s condition was getting worse. Upon securing the Divine Doctor, Sikong Ling immediately brought him to Su Wenyue’s side to check her pulse.
“Divine Doctor Mu, how is my wife’s condition? Is there a way to wake her up?” Han Yu asked with deep concern, particularly since he saw Divine Doctor Mu frowning, which worried him even more.
“Your wife is weak, but she has been cared for well these days, and there has been considerable improvement. The main problem causing her unconsciousness isn’t with her body,” Divine Doctor Mu said after diagnosing her.
“If it’s not the body, then where is the problem?” Han Yu, seeing Divine Doctor Mu’s pause, quickly asked, while Sikong Ling also looked at Divine Doctor Mu intently, wanting to know the reason.
“Don’t know if you have ever heard of the soul and spirit. This isn’t entirely fantasy. A person has three souls and seven spirits sustaining life. This girl is troubled at heart. Although it’s not apparent in everyday life, once something happens, it’s easy for evil spirits to invade, causing the soul to leave the body, and even more so to be trapped in a dream unable to free herself. If she isn’t awakened in time, it’ll inevitably harm the body over a prolonged period, even exhausting her life force until she has no life left,” Divine Doctor Mu explained. After all, as a Divine Doctor, he knew much and was confident, unlike other doctors, without regard for the expressions of Sikong Ling or Han Yu, speaking forthrightly.
Because of all that had happened to his wife, Han Yu tended to believe what the Divine Doctor said; perhaps there really were elements of soul and spirit, and ghosts in this world. Sikong Ling, however, was skeptical, half-believing only because Divine Doctor Mu was a renowned healer, and considering Su Wenyue’s prolonged unconsciousness. As for the other mysterious concepts like the soul, he remained watchful, only interested in whatever means Divine Doctor Mu had to awaken her.
“Although the Divine Doctor’s opinion differs from other doctors, in the end, the meaning is the same, isn’t it? We still must awaken Lady Yue,” Sikong Ling said.
“Indeed, this girl’s condition requires her soul to return to her body promptly and to leave the dream state,” Divine Doctor Mu nodded, confirming Sikong Ling’s words.
“I admire the breadth of knowledge and experience the Divine Doctor has, but do you have a way to awaken Lady Yue?” Sikong Ling asked with a respectful tone, which would continue depending on Divine Doctor Mu’s skill. If he proved no different from other inept doctors, then Sikong Ling would have a chance to vent about the earlier frustrations.
