Chapter 516: Chapter 523: Some Troubles

“Then find a way. Don’t talk to me about useless things. Bring out your utmost abilities. If something truly happens to her, I can’t predict what I might do!” Sikong Ling said with considerable ruthlessness. Although there were no actual threats in his words, the effect was not diminished in the slightest. They all knew very well what Sikong Ling was like on a regular day—neither completely righteous nor evil, acting entirely based on his whims, not to mention his brutal and ruthless methods, often threatening lives, which truly made them fearful.

“Miss Su seems to have fallen into a dream. If we want to awaken her, someone she cares about might be able to do it,” a doctor said under pressure. He had previously treated patients with similar cases. Although the situation wasn’t exactly the same, there were no other methods left to try.

“Are you sure?” Sikong Ling asked with an inscrutable expression.

“Right now, with Miss Su trapped in her dreams and unable to extricate herself, I can’t think of any other method. This is the only way to wake her. As long as Miss Su wakes up, everything will be easier,” the doctor said desperately, still leaving himself some uncertainty, a way out.

Sikong Ling’s eyes narrowed slightly. ‘Someone she cares about’—let alone that he had already decided to keep Su Wenyue, he naturally wouldn’t allow her to be in contact with anyone else, including the Su Family. Sikong Ling had no intention of letting Su Wenyue see anyone for the time being. After all, he knew her character very well; otherwise, he wouldn’t have given up what was on his mind in the first place. Because he knew that Su Wenyue would definitely not submit, he was sure that she would not follow him obediently; it would take some effort on his part. To avoid any complications and the risk of unexpected events, he had to keep her under his control. And yet, now they were saying that only ‘someone she cares about’ could awaken Su Wenyue.

Sikong Ling’s brows furrowed deeply. Su Wenyue, not wanting the Imperial Court to have an opportunity to threaten Han Yu, actually risked her life, jumping from such a high cliff, which clearly showed her feelings for Han Yu. The most important person in her life went without saying; aside from her three children, it was Han Yu. But if Han Yu were really to come and see her, then he would have no part in what followed.

He was well aware of how frantically Han Yu was searching for her outside, to the point of neglecting the affairs of Yiyang Prefecture, completely setting them aside, focused solely on finding her. If it weren’t for the fact that this place was hidden and that without his permission no one could easily set foot here, Han Yu would probably have already shown up at his doorstep. Even if Han Yu hadn’t arrived yet, he probably guessed that she was with him.

Sikong Ling absolutely didn’t want to hand Su Wenyue over to Han Yu. However, Su Wenyue’s condition was worsening. If she couldn’t be awakened, it was very likely that she would deteriorate further and pass away. Faced with two different choices, both led to loss. Sikong Ling found it difficult to make a decision and was uncharacteristically indecisive.

“Is there still no news of the Divine Doctor?” Sikong Ling asked again; this seemed to be his only hope for keeping Su Wenyue. He couldn’t just stand by and watch her approach death. Had he been able to make such a heartless decision, he wouldn’t have softened his heart in the first place and allowed her to be with Han Yu, when Han Yu’s abilities were nowhere near being a match for him.

“Not yet. The Divine Doctor has always been elusive, beyond our grasp. My subordinates have already sent out scouts to search and have spread the news in Jianghu. If there is any news, it will be immediately relayed,” the subordinate reported.

Sikong Ling waved his hand, his gaze landing on Su Wenyue, filled with struggle and complexity.
