Chapter 516 - Chapter 516: Chapter 523: Some Troubles (2/2)
“What a disobedient girl. Wouldn’t it be nice to just wake up peacefully? You’re really causing trouble,” Sikong Ling said in a low voice, as if talking to himself, with a soft sigh. He didn’t understand why he would go so far for a woman with whom he had only a few encounters. Whenever he thought about it, he always had a feeling as if he owed her from a previous life—although he knew rationally that what he was doing was too much, he still did it.
Unaware of Sikong Ling’s turmoil and worries, the person on the bed showed occasional changes in expression, still lost in her own dreams, unable to extricate herself. Occasionally, her pained expression was especially heart-wrenching to see.

“Master, there’s been word in Jianghu recently. Young Master Sikong from the Sikong Family, Sikong Ling, has announced he is offering a large reward for information on the whereabouts of the Divine Doctor An Qing. Moreover, many famous doctors have been invited by him. It seems that he’s seeking treatment for a woman. My subordinate suspects that this woman is very likely to be Madam,” Zhai Li reported, having returned to Han Yu’s side after completing his mission. Zhai Li was Han Yu’s most capable subordinate, and both his connections and methods were superior. Han Yu relied heavily on him. At this moment, Zhai Li had discovered news about Su Wenyue and was reporting to Han Yu.
“Have you discovered where they have been invited to?” Han Yu immediately asked.
“The doctors were blindfolded on the way and do not know the exact location. However, they let slip some hints and clues. My subordinate has already narrowed down the general area. The precise address is still being investigated, but I believe we will soon find out.”
“Good, we must be careful and cautious this time, finding the place before they become aware of us,” Han Yu instructed calmly. After many disappointments and setbacks, and knowing that Su Wenyue was safe with Sikong Ling, he had become much calmer than before, no longer as impulsive and excited.
“Don’t worry, master, I will act carefully,” Zhai Li said before taking his leave to personally handle the matter.
Owing to Su Wenyue’s worsening condition, Sikong Ling had not only called over doctors from the Sikong Family’s subordinates but also invited renowned doctors from all over. Such significant activity couldn’t be hidden, and Zhai Li quickly located Sikong Ling based on various pieces of information. However, upon learning the precise location, Han Yu was still anxious and did not immediately go to retrieve her.
“Master, we’ve figured out where Young Master Sikong is staying, but the place is somewhat troublesome,” Zhai Li reported with a worried expression, which indicated that the situation was difficult.
“What place is it?” Han Yu asked directly. As long as he knew where his wife was, regardless of whether it was a dragon pool or a tiger’s den, or even if he had to climb a mountain of swords or descend into a sea of flames, he was determined to break through.
“It’s Jianghu’s famously notorious ‘Peach Blossom Valley.'” Zhai Li, as the heir to one of the Four Great Martial Arts Families, the Zhai Family, once held a considerable status in the martial arts world. But even he spoke with a measure of awe and uncertainty about Peach Blossom Valley, because the place was so mysterious and powerful, full of unknowns, that it was treated as a forbidden area by those in the martial arts world, rarely trespassed by anyone.
“Peach Blossom Valley?” Han Yu seemed to recall hearing of this place, feeling somewhat familiar with it but unable to remember at the moment. He searched his mind for related memories.
