Chapter 188 Two Taoist Companions?
Li Chonglin glared at him and said, "I don't believe you. You must have said something to deceive him!"
Zhao Zimo shrugged nonchalantly, "You said you knew Yuguan's personality best, but you couldn't tell whether what I said was true or not."
"Zhao Zimo!"
Li Chonglin took a step forward, his finger almost poking the tip of Zhao Zimo's nose, and veins bulged on his forehead.
"Don't try to be mysterious here. Yuguan is my personal swordsman. How could I not know what he's thinking? You, Zhao Zimo, are just a foreign minister of Xin Zhao. Now that he's been bewitched by you, it must be a trick on your part."
Zhao Zimo gently slapped Li Zhonglin's hand away, his expression remaining calm. "Your Highness, you are being unfair. Yuguan and I are in love, so how could there be any allurement?"
"It is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who has been giving me a hard time about matters involving Yu Guan. Could it be that he is afraid that Yu Guan will get close to me and steal the limelight from you when you are with him?"
"How dare you!" Li Zhonglin's face turned pale with anger. "How could I be so narrow-minded? Yuguan is seriously injured, but you are intact. Could it be that you did something behind the scenes, deliberately putting him in danger while saving your own life?"
After saying that, he clenched his fists, his joints turned white due to the force, and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire as he stared at Zhao Zimo.
Zhao Zimo didn't even raise his eyelids, a mocking smile curling up his lips. "Is your Highness planning to resort to violence? Don't forget, we're still outside the tent. If he hears you being so impulsive, I don't know how heartbroken he'll be."
Li Chonglin's hands trembled slightly, and his face turned pale and red.
While the two were still arguing, Zi Xiaoya actually chased Xiao Zhima here.
"Mimi, don't run!"
Zi Xiaoya shouted and chased Xiao Zhima, but Xiao Zhima refused to let her catch him. She took a big step and climbed onto Li Chonglin's shoulders.
"Why are you chasing the cat?" Zhao Zimo asked in confusion.
Zi Xiaoya said angrily: "Yuguanlang lied to me. He said he had never seen Mimi, but he had already signed the contract behind my back!"
Li Chonglin was slightly startled and subconsciously raised his hand to protect the little sesame on his shoulder.
Little Zhima also meowed twice, as if to join in the conversation, and his bright eyes rolled around, looking at this and that.
"Are you the prince of Longhua Kingdom?" Zi Xiaoya looked him up and down and said.
"It's me," Li Chonglin said with narrowed eyes.
Zi Xiaoya rolled her eyes at him and said, "You cultivators from Longhua Country are full of tricks, none of them are good people."
Li Chonglin raised his eyebrows but did not reply.
"Since Xiao Zhima is Yuguan's spiritual pet, you shouldn't fight with him." Zhao Zimo said in a deep voice.
"Did I hear correctly, Zhao Datou?" Zi Xiaoya murmured in disbelief. "You actually ignored our friendship for him!?"
Li Chonglin slowly said, "It was a coincidence that this spirit pet became connected with Yuguan."
"Coincidence? I think it's just a love-stealing!" Zi Xiaoya didn't listen to his explanation at all. She took a step forward and stretched out her hand to grab Xiao Zhima.
Little Zhima let out a "meow" and nimbly jumped off Li Chonglin's shoulder and rushed directly into the tent where Lu Yuguan was recuperating.
"Mimi!"
Zi Xiaoya shouted and rushed into the tent.
"Don't go in! Yuguan needs to rest."
Zhao Zimo wanted to grab the corner of Zi Xiaoya's clothes, but he was still a step too slow. Seeing this, Li Chonglin followed and rushed into the tent together.
Several people rushed into the tent and saw the little black cat squatting beside Lu Yuguan's bed, meowing.
"Yuguan?"
Li Chonglin was the first to notice Lu Yuguan's abnormality.
His already haggard face became even paler, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead, soaking the pillow.
Lu Yuguan's eyes were tightly closed, his brows were furrowed, his lips were bloodless, cracked and peeling, and he looked like he was trapped in an extremely painful nightmare.
Zhao Zimo also walked quickly to the bedside, stretched out his hand to feel Lu Yuguan's pulse, and frowned more and more tightly. "The pulse is disordered, the breath is weak, the situation is not good."
"I'll go find Doctor Du." Li Chonglin gritted his teeth and turned to call Doctor Du Lian over.
Soon, Li Chonglin led Du Lian to the tent, followed by Chen Xian and Zhou Zhou.
"Why are you here too?" Zhao Zimo frowned.
Zhou Zhou took Chen Xian's hand and said solemnly, "I told him that Master Lu was seriously ill and he had to come and see him no matter what."
Chen Xian broke free from Zhou Zhou's hand and took a few steps to the bed.
"Brother Lu, Brother Lu!" Chen Xian called out his name, but received no response. "How could this be?"
Doctor Du Lian said nothing more. He quickly sat down beside the bed, placed his fingers on Lu Yuguan's wrist, and carefully felt his pulse. After a moment, he lifted his eyelids to check, his expression becoming increasingly solemn.
Everyone held their breath and looked at her eagerly. The tent was so quiet that only the intermittent and weak breathing of Lu Yuguan could be heard.
"The sea of consciousness is damaged, the mental strength is too weak, and the mind has begun to become distracted." Du Lian said.
"What should we do then?" Li Chonglin asked hurriedly.
Du Lian pondered for a moment and said, "His situation is different from the usual damage to the sea of consciousness. There are other forces in his body that are restoring his mental strength, but it's too disordered to recover properly."
"Doctor, just tell me, is there any way to save him?" Zhao Zimo asked in a deep voice.
Du Lian closed her eyes, put her fingers back on Lu Yuguan's wrist, and after a moment, she opened her eyes and asked, "Does he have a Taoist partner?"
"Daoist companion?" Li Chonglin and Zhao Zimo looked at each other, both with confusion in their eyes.
Zhao Zimo spoke first: "Doctor Du, what does this have to do with the Taoist companion?"
Du Lian frowned slightly and patiently explained, "The aura in Lu Yuguan's body does not belong to him. I have been practicing medicine for many years and I speculate that this may be related to his Taoist partner."
"If there is a Taoist companion, the two of them can communicate with each other's spiritual power, and perhaps they can guide this power back to its place, helping him calm his sea of consciousness and regain his sanity."
"Otherwise, relying solely on external force to forcibly guide it would only backfire and cause his sea of consciousness to completely collapse."
After hearing this, everyone had their own thoughts.
Zi Xiaoya glanced at Zhao Zimo, as if she already had the answer.
"Excuse me, doctor, can you detect the attributes of this aura?" Li Chonglin asked again.
"Gold attribute, and earth attribute," Du Lian said slowly, "As for the wood attribute, it should be brought by his own spiritual roots."
"what?"
Zi Xiaoya was confused.
two?
There are actually two auras in this guy's body that don't belong to him?
She knew about the earth attribute, and there was no doubt that Zhao Zimo was a top-grade earth spiritual root.
As for metallic properties...
Could it be?
Li Chonglin half-knelt beside the bed, staring at Lu Yuguan's face.
"What do you want to say?" Zhao Zimo suddenly spoke.
"At this point, do we still have any choice?" Li Chonglin sneered.
Zhou Zhou and Chen Xian were bewildered. Unlike Zi Xiaoya who understood everything, their heads were filled with doubts.
"Let's all go out first."
Du Lian tactfully drove everyone out of the tent, even Xiao Zhima, leaving only Zhao Zimo and Li Chonglin by the bed.
