Chapter 514: Chapter 521: Concealed
The situation was too sudden, Phantom too was caught by surprise, a joyful expression clearly written across his face. Fortunately, Sikong Ling’s attention was completely focused on Su Wenyue at that moment, so he did not notice. Realizing his own lapse, Phantom’s heart chilled, and he quickly collected himself, restoring his usual indifference, and even appeared colder than before.
“Quickly have the doctor come over and take a look!” Sikong Ling was now not in a hurry to take the person away, and immediately called for the physician to examine Su Wenyue’s condition.
“How is she, does that appearance just now indicate any signs of waking up?” Sikong Ling asked eagerly.
The doctor examined her for a moment, then shook his head: “Young Master, Miss Su’s pulse is the same as before, and there are no signs of waking up. Her behavior just now is likely an unconscious response, but this is also a good sign, at the very least it indicates that Miss Su is aware of external movements.”
Although Sikong Ling was disappointed, at least things were looking up. Once renowned physicians had come, they should be able to figure out a way to revive her. In fact, the best medical skills in the Daming Dynasty belonged to that one, but that Divine Doctor was elusive, and saving people depended entirely on his whims. Even the powerful Sikong Family had no means to control him.
However, Sikong Ling still sent people to inquire. To his knowledge, the Divine Doctor had a very close relationship with the Zhai Family, one of the four most influential families. Had it been before, he could have directly approached the Zhai Family for information on the whereabouts, but now that the Zhai Family had been annihilated by the Imperial Court, although he vaguely knew that there were still descendants and remnants of the Zhai Family’s power in the world, he had no idea where to begin searching, other than casting a wide net.
It turned out to be a false alarm. Sikong Ling picked the person back up, intentionally making his actions a bit rougher, unlike his previous gentleness, hoping Su Wenyue would show some reaction to comfort his mood. Unfortunately, aside from that one moment, Su Wenyue did not show any other responses.
That day, Han Yu followed the old doctor’s address to search, but came up empty-handed, feeling both disappointed and agitated. Had it been an ordinary time, Han Yu believed that even if Phantom was cruel, he would not harm Su Wenyue, but Su Wenyue was critically ill at the moment, and the slightest negligence could cost her life.
“If Lady Yue comes to harm because of his delay, I will never forgive him!” Han Yu said hatefully, his face unable to conceal his urgency. He had never had a good impression of Phantom, who was arrogant because of his martial arts.
“Could it be that the person didn’t believe the old doctor’s words and went to find another?” Feng Jianling speculated. Although he did not know Phantom, according to the old doctor’s description, the person seemed very worried about Miss Yue, unlikely to let her condition worsen on purpose.
Han Yu nodded and quickly ordered his people to investigate: “Turn every medical shop and doctor inside out, leave no stone unturned!”
But the whole city had nearly been turned upside down, with many days of searching including the surrounding areas, and still, no information was found, leaving the trail cold again.
