489 The Feeling of Love (1/2)

When Marquis Yun and the others finally rushed back to the tent to see what was happening, having waited with bated breath, they were shocked to see both people in the tent covered in blood; one was still lying quietly on the bed while the other was comatose, sprawled unceremoniously on the ground.

Everyone was initially taken aback, but their trepidation immediately turned into joy.

”Yun Yang's not dead!” Shangguan Lingxiu cried out in delight, ”He's still breathing! It looks like he just fainted. It must be from having lost too much blood and over-exhaustion…”

The old marshal was important, but the Nine Supremes Lords were still more important to Shangguan Lingxiu, especially when one of the Nine Supremes was Yun Yang. Therefore, compared to everyone else who was more concerned about the Old Marshal, her eyes were immediately drawn towards Yun Yang.

”The Old Marshal's not dead either…” Fu Baoguo's eyes were wide and round, his heart filled with happiness. He could almost jump up and shout in joy. ”He's still breathing, and his breath is much stronger now. His pulse is stable... what an amazing improvement!”

Everyone was indescribably ecstatic upon hearing the report.

Marquis Yun and Bai Yixue were still in disbelief, opting to go over and check for themselves. Qiu Jianhan was still unconscious and in a bad state, but some color had at least returned to his face. Despite the wound on his chest, which still looked like a horrible gash, his pulse was indeed stable now, unlike previously when it was fluttering weakly in his chest.

The men, both cultivation experts, came to the same conclusion; although the old marshal was still unconscious, his life was no longer at risk. It was unknown if there would be any sequelae from such a serious injury and if he could ever wake up, but for now…

Old Marshal, who was supposed to have died, had survived!

Old Marshal had been saved!

One of Yutang's three pillars had not crumbled after all!

”Thank God!”

Shangguan Lingxiu was tearing up from happiness.

She was honestly more concerned about Yun Yang, but the old marshal was her revered elder, an irreplaceable pillar of Yutang's military. That he had managed to defeat death while he stood at its door was an incredible feat indeed!

Fu Baoguo was a man possessed, as he went to grab on Marquis Yun's hand and shook it fervently, at a loss for words from gratitude. ”Marquis Yun, Lord… you… Thank you… You've cultivated a great son…”

No one had entered the tent throughout Qiu Jianhan's confinement after being wounded and as he was hovering on the brink of death. It had only been Yun Yang alone inside the tent, so the fact that Qiu Jianhan was getting better could only have been his doing.

There was no doubt about it nor would there be anyone who suspected anything else. Besides, judging by how Yun Yang had succumbed to exhaustion, it showed how much effort he had put in.

Fu Baoguo was no longer doubtful of Old Marshal Qiu's comment regarding Yun Yang. This child had a truly extraordinary ability and his potential was above his father's; there was no debate that he would eventually surpass his sire.

Marquis Yun watched Yun Yang, who was unconscious and said softly, ”Marshal Fu has flattered us. This is what Yun Yang should have done to save Old Marshal. It's not worthy to be mentioned nor thanked.”

Fu Baoguo was ruddy and high spirited, laughing gleefully, ”No no, it's worthy to be mentioned of course! Whoever saves Old Marshal shall be my life's savior, my second parent! Hahaha…”

The group was tickled listening to him. After all, if Yun Yang were to be Fu Baoguo's second parent, then Marquis Yun, who was standing in front of him, would be the father of his second parent?

”Young Master Yun doesn't look too good. He must have expended himself to save the old marshal.” Shangguan Lingxiu said rather anxiously, ”I think it's better to bring him to rest. Even if he's fine, he'll still need to recuperate for a few more days judging by his current state.”

Marquis Yun smiled gently. ”If so… I will have to trouble Lady Shangguan with this task.”

The group smiled knowingly upon hearing the conversation. Shangguan Lingxiu blushed furiously but did not avoid the task, picking Yun Yang up carefully and went out as if she was trying to flee.

”Hahaha…” Fu Baoguo chortled. ”Marquis Yun, it looks like your family will have good news soon.”

The physical affection was a sign of commitment that a certain someone's reputation was all tied to the lady; of course, the good news would come soon!

Marquis Yun beamed calmly and said, ”It's this child who has gotten lucky. It's what he should have done to save Old Marshal, but if a relationship forms because of it, that's his fate. Hopefully, the good news will come true then. Would the Old Marshal be considered the matchmaker in this case?”

The group chortled again, exclaiming Marquis Yun's excellent way of speaking as he had wished well for the old marshal in his casual words. If the old marshal was not well, how could he be a matchmaker?

Turning back to look at Qiu Jianhan, who was also still comatose, everyone felt a genuine ease and thankfulness. it was a miracle that he had not died when he should have and was stabilizing from his critical condition.

Although he was still in a coma, everyone felt as if they regained their tower of strength now. They were calm and composed despite the warfare that was still brewing out there.
