268 I’m Sorry... There’s Nothing I Can Do! (1/2)

”What? Are you saying that Uncle Ye's condition is hopeless? I don't believe that! Imperial physicians, I beg you… please find a solution!” The Princess's delicate body and pretty face became ghostly white when she heard the diagnosis of the three distinguished experts. She chocked, and it seemed as if her small mouth was filled with blood. Her expression had become incomparably dull. However, she wasn't willing to give up. Therefore, she repeatedly begged the head of the three experts, Fang Hui Sheng, to find a solution.

”Princess, please allow me report… besides suffering tremendous blood loss, Mr. Ye has also suffered serious physical injuries. The bones in his ribs are broken. His five vital internal-organs have been severely damaged, and he has suffered no less than ten serious internal injuries. This isn't pleasant to hear… but there isn't the least bit of a chance to save Ye Gu Han…”

Fang Hui Sheng's tone was extremely serious as he explained, ”Even a supernatural entity would find themselves powerless in front of such a case. We can support him for a little while, and you can get other people's opinions until you're satisfied about the… rarity of his case…”

Princess Ling Meng couldn't support her body anymore. She trembled for a few moments, and then fell down.

Fang Hui Sheng sighed and shook his head along with the other two physicians. He didn't wish to trouble the Princess. So, he put his medical equipment in order, and left.

”Uncle Ye…” Princess Ling Meng muttered absent mindedly. The beauty of her face could bring down a nation… However, its complexion was the same as the near-dead Ye Gu Han at the moment.

It seemed from Dugu Wudi's face that he couldn't bear it anymore. He sighed and shook his head. He didn't wish to disturb the two either. Therefore, he left the courtyard and made his way towards the Jun Family's main hall.

Dugu Xiao Yi and Sun Xiao Mei remained in the courtyard to keep Princess Ling Meng company. They were afraid that another mishap might happen to their sister.

Sun Xiao Mei couldn't see the heart-broken Princess. She hesitated for a moment, but was unable to bear it any longer. She then quietly and quickly whispered a line into Princess Ling Meng's ear, ”Jun Mo Xie can save Mr. Ye.”

Sun Xiao Mei wasn't a beautiful looking woman. However, she was very talented and extremely intelligent. Her wisdom was comparable to that of Li You Ran. She had heard the conversation between Jun Mo Xie and Jun Wu Yi, and had faintly sensed that Jun Mo Xie might be able to save Ye Gu Han. However, she couldn't understand why Jun Mo Xie wouldn't undertake that task… Moreover, she had a soft spot for the Princess. Sun Xiao Mei couldn't help but feel her heart soften when she saw Jun Mo Xie keeping his mouth shut despite the manner in which the princess was grieving. Hence, she decided to inform Princess Ling Meng about Jun Mo Xie's capability.

The Princess believed the information that was given her 'good' sister; without doubting a word of it. She didn't have any faith in Jun Mo Xie. However, she could never doubt Sun Xiao Mei.

The Princess would regard this as an absurdity under normal circumstances. However, she had no choice at the moment. She would grasp firmly at any straws she could find… just in case it turned out be the one and only way to save Ye Gu Han's life. Therefore, she would necessarily give this a try… even if the chances of saving him with this method were negligible.

[I must save Uncle Ye's life — at any cost!]

Everyone had already left. However, Jun Mo Xie had still here. This small courtyard was his residence, and the injured Ye Gu Han seemed to have taken control of his nest. In fact, Ye Gu Han was lying on his bed. How could Jun Mo Xie abandon his own lair? That was the only reason why he had stayed behind…

Jun Mo Xie was sitting cross legged on the only chair in his room. His eyes were closed. The Young Master Jun was considering things. [I must help Ye Gu Han since I've promised Third Uncle that I'll save him! However, his condition is genuinely difficult to deal with. So, how do I go about the healing process?]

Ye Gu Han had lost a lot of blood, and that was a huge problem for those three medical experts. However, this wasn't an issue for the Young Master Jun since his mind had retained the medical knowledge of his previous life. The issue of blood-transfusion wouldn't be a problem with Jun Mo Xie's power and skill as long as he could find someone with the required blood type. He could then assist in the blood-transfer with his innate spiritual talent. Therefore, he didn't consider that angle to be a big problem.

Jun Mo Xie was confident that he could cure the internal wounds that had been made by the swords as well. He had a treasure trove of medical ingredients, and they had nourishing spiritual properties. This would assist in the healing process. Ye Gu Han's life wouldn't be very inconvenient even if he had only one arm remaining post his recovery… comparatively.

However, the man's ribs were the 'genuine' problem. His condition was very serious in that regard, and it was also a rare occurrence. Shockingly, fifteen of his ribs were broken in multiple places. His chest had sunken inwards due to this. In fact, his ribs were broken in about 35-45 places…

[This is a very difficult problem!]

[This problem doesn't seem to have any solution!]

[It wouldn't have been a problem if it were a simple bone injury. The injury would've slowly healed as long as he could've borne the pain. However, his life-force is very weak at the moment. And he suffered so many internal and external injuries… Therefore, connecting the bones would result in losing Ye Gu Han. It would rid him of his small chance of survival as well!]

Ye Gu Han had very little life-force remaining in his body. And most of the Xuan Qi in his body was foreign to it. The Solitary Eagle and Jun Mo Xie had imbued his body with a lot of pure and high-level Xuan Qi. However, even that had reached the peak of its limit. Re-applying this method wouldn't be able to support him during the operation.

[However, if I treat the flesh wounds first, and then replenish the Xuan Qi inside of him… he might have enough life left in him to bear the burden of the mending bones for some time… though I reckon that Ye Gu Han's bones have been deformed for good.]

Jun Mo Xie frowned; his eyes were still closed. He thought hard on this muddy puzzle, but couldn't find a single clue to solve it…

[It is a pity that this world doesn't have anesthetics! Ye Gu Han's treatment wouldn't be so difficult if I had some anesthetics…]

[Hold on… anesthetics?!]

Jun Mo Xie suddenly became excited, and firmly slapped his thighs. He then opened his eyes in astonishment because his thigh didn't feel his hand when he had slapped it…

His hand obviously felt the clap, but the thigh didn't feel this slap. This was strange…

He opened his eyes. The Young Master Jun saw Princess Ling Meng covering her face with her hand. A few tear drops had streamed for her eyes. Her pretty face had five crisp and red fingermarks on it, and had started to swell…
