Chapter 1034 - Choose a Princess Consort?
The entire room was silent.
Chu Liuyue held in her breath and focused as she sent out a wave of force and inserted it into Lin Zhifei’s body. The force was very thin, but it was extremely pure and very sensitive.
Lin Zhifei’s Yuan meridian was also a superior-grade Dijing Yuan meridian; he was definitely considered a genius amongst talents. But for some reason, the flow of the force in his body wasn’t very smooth as if it were being blocked by something.
Chu Liuyue continued investigating deeper. Then, she realized that there seemed to be something minute attached to the force—they were like small circular balls.
These things were like gigantic stones in a stream, blocking the water flow. Even though they didn’t completely block the circulation of the force, they posed a huge restriction. This was also the reason why Lin Zhifei’s aura was very weak even though he was very strong.
These strange objects had also accumulated in his five organs, especially his lungs. It was also the main reason why he kept coughing blood.
Chu Liuyue completely checked his body before retracting her force and releasing her hand.
“How is he?” Lin Tianfeng—who was nervously waiting by the side—hurriedly asked.
Chu Liuyue knitted her brows slightly. “The situation is even worse than I predicted.”
Lin Tianfeng’s expression froze. “W-what does this mean?”
Chu Liuyue glanced at Lin Zhifei. “I mean that… it’s really amazing for Fourth Young Master to last until now.”
I had guessed that Lin Zhifei’s body had been obstructed for a long time and that it would be troublesome to handle it. However, I didn’t expect his appearance to be this calm and normal even though he’s in this state. I can only say that his ability to hide things is too strong. I don’t know if he wants people to know about his true situation, or…
“Really?” Lin Tianfeng looked at his son. “Zhifei, is she speaking the truth?”
Lin Zhifei smiled, and his expression was nonchalant. “Ms. Dugu is exaggerating. I’m—”
“If you don’t treat your body’s situation in time, you only have a maximum of three years,” interrupted Chu Liuyue. “Fourth Young Master, just like you’ve said, you should know about your own body’s situation, right?”
Lin Tianfeng suddenly stood up!
Huala—bang!
His movement was too sudden, and the chair directly slammed onto the floor. “How could this be possible?”
Three years?
“Nonsense!” he said sharply. “Back then, those few elders clearly said that there wouldn’t be a big problem if he nurtured himself—”
Chu Liuyue looked calm. “Master Lin, Fourth Young Master knows best if it’s true, right?”
Lin Zhifei pressed his lips against each other and didn’t speak.
“Fourth Young Master, do you dare to poke your finger and show it to Master Lin?”
In his current state, blood would flow non-stop once he was injured and had a wound! It would be extremely hard to stop the blood! His body had long become an empty shell!
When Lin Zhifei heard this, his expression finally changed. He stared at Chu Liuyue closely, and his face was especially pale.
Upon seeing his son’s expression, what else did Lin Tianfeng not understand? “…Zhifei, you—”
He choked, and his heart hurt. After taking a few deep breaths in, he finally looked at Chu Liuyue weakly. “Okay, I only have one question for you: Do you have the confidence to treat Zhifei’s illness?”
Those elders couldn’t even detect Zhifei’s situation; only the Dugu Yue in front of me did. Other than her, I might not be able to find someone else to solve this problem.
“Master Lin, don’t be anxious. When I came, I said that I would treat Fourth Young Master’s illness. It’s Naturally the same now, but… it might be a little troublesome.”
Lin Tianfeng instantly saw the light at the end of the tunnel. “It’s okay if it’s troublesome—a-as long as you have a way! Nothing else matters!”
However, Chu Liuyue knitted her brows slightly as if she were worried.
The light that glowed in Lin Zhifei’s eyes when he heard that she had a way gradually dimmed. He laughed bitterly and said lightly, “It’s okay. It’s already very amazing that you can discern my body’s condition. No matter if I can be treated well in the end, I’ll be very grateful to you. My body has been frail since I was born, and it’s pretty good that I’ve lived for so long…”
Lin Tianfeng was stumped and felt very upset. He wanted to comfort his son, but seeing that the latter had seemed to have seen through life and death, his throat tightened as tears welled up in his eyes.
He couldn’t say a word.
“There’s something I need to trouble you with, Ms. Dugu. Not many people know about my body’s condition. I hope you can keep it a secret in the future, Ms. Dugu, and don’t—”
“No, I’m not worried about this.” Chu Liuyue shook her head nonchalantly. “I’m thinking about another problem.”
Lin Tianfeng and Lin Zhifei were both stunned.
“Ms. Dugu, i-if you have anything that’s troubling you, you can just say it. As long as I can help you, I’ll do my best!” As long as she can treat Zhifei, nothing else matters!
Chu Liuyue sighed softly. “Don’t misunderstand. The reason why I’m troubled is that Fourth Young Master’s body needs a long time to nurture, and this time, I’m just passing by Grotto-Heaven Cliff. I don’t have much time to stay here…”
Lin Tianfeng and Lin Zhifei were confused; they never expected that Chu Liuyue was thinking about this!
“Um… Ms. Dugu, if you’re not in a hurry, why don’t you stay here a while longer?” Lin Tianfeng tried asking. “If there’s anything we can do, you can just say it!”
Chu Liuyue shook her head and politely rejected him. “I’m really sorry. That matter is very important to me, so… I’m afraid I can’t stay here too long…”
“Master!” Right at this moment, an announcement was suddenly heard from outside the yard.
Lin Tianfeng’s expression became solemn, and he walked out. “What’s going on?!”
As he was disturbed, his expression wasn’t good.
The reporting guard shuddered and hurriedly kneeled down while he presented something with both hands at the same time. “Master, that side has sent a letter; they said that His Grace’s birthday is coming soon. They also asked us if we’re going and if we’ll give up on sending someone to contest for the position of princess consort.”
Chu Liuyue—who was sitting in the room—suddenly paused in her actions.. She gradually raised her head and looked outside the door. His Grace? Birthday? Contest… for Princess Consort?
