Chapter 497: Chapter 498 All Crises Will Be Lifted??

“Has the official seen Zhao Xiyan?” Shen Lang lowered his voice, “How about we give him a little push down the river and finish off the Zhao…”

He made a gesture of slaughter, his eyes revealing a fierce gleam, truly terrifying.

Shen Gong snorted lightly.

“Since he seeks death himself, I shall grant him this opportunity and first avenge the murder of my son.”

“Yes, sir,” Shen Lang bowed respectfully and withdrew, “I shall make the preparations right away.”

Three days later, Qi Yue and her companions arrived at the foot of Youyun Mountain.

There was a branch of Rishengchang here, which covered a large area and was very serene.

This was Huang Zai’an’s suggestion, saying that although the journey had been comfortable, they ought to rest a bit before climbing the mountain.

This advice quite suited Qi Yue’s plans.

This time, she had specifically prepared many things for Shen Yu, Zhao Yongzhe, and the others, which needed to be taken out in advance.

Although those around her were all trusted people, things could be unpredictable up on the mountain, so it was better to be cautious.

In addition, Song Gensheng should also be transported out of the space.

It wouldn’t do for four people to go up the mountain and suddenly have an extra person appear out of nowhere.

The transport division had received notice ahead of time and had prepared accommodations promptly.

Qi Yue’s courtyard was spacious and exquisitely fitting to her liking.

Upon arriving in her room, she entered the space immediately.

During the two days on the road, she had only observed Song Gensheng’s condition through her mind, and now at last she had the chance to observe him up close.

In the operating room, Song Gensheng still lay motionless, only the various instruments surrounding him indicated he was still breathing.

“Little assistant, has he shown any reaction in these days?”

Although she knew it was futile, Qi Yue couldn’t help but ask.

“No,” the little assistant moved its mechanical head, “Master, from the little assistant’s perspective, this man is truly beyond saving!”

Qi Yue furrowed her brow.

“From your perspective? What do you know?”

The little assistant shook its head and solemnly retorted.

“Master, my chip is stored with vast amounts of knowledge and information, judging such a situation is simple, I bet this man is definitely not going to make it…”

“Shut up, I have already found someone who can treat him, speak nonsense again and I’ll unplug your charger.”

Qi Yue glared angrily at the little assistant.

She didn’t want Song Gensheng to die.

Every time she saw his lifeless body, she was reminded of the past.

All along, Song Gensheng was the least of her worries.

After all, his body was almost invincible.

But now…

Even though his body was still impervious to blades and spears, he was genuinely lying down.

The little assistant was only a machine, completely unaware of the distress in her heart, and kept babbling on.

“Master, who exactly is that person? Can you take me to see?”

“No!”

“Master, I am your assistant, improving my skills is beneficial to you too, why won’t you agree to let the little assistant go? Master, have you forgotten your original intention? As your assistant, I have a responsibility…”

With a “huff,” the noisy little assistant abruptly stopped.

Qi Yue, having torn off the battery component, left the space without a backward glance, carrying Song Gensheng’s head.

Her emotions were complicated and tense at that moment.

If Huang Zai’an, after inspection, couldn’t come up with a reliable method, then Song Gensheng really only had death awaiting him.

That was a bet she dared not place, nor did she wish to.

She wanted Song Gensheng to be alive.

To be able to speak and move, to be alive and well.

But the assistant kept saying again and again that Song Gensheng could no longer survive, so it was no wonder she was angry.

After settling Song Gensheng, Qi Yue called Huang Zai’an right away.

Huang Zai’an, much more personable, felt very distressed upon seeing Song Gensheng, who was gasping for breath, immediately overwhelmed for a moment.

Qi Yue recounted the rescue situation in detail, placing almost all her hopes on Huang Zai’an.

“Master, all I can do now is to use medicine to preserve his vital pulse, but apart from that I’m completely clueless. If you have a way….”

Huang Zai’an circled around Song Gensheng for a long time, finally asking a question with a constipated expression.

“Apprentice, can’t you show your master where this man got his injuries from?”

Qi Yue was waiting to hear his good methods, but hearing this, she exploded with anger.

“So you’ve just been pondering this matter all this time, right? I’m just asking you if you can cure him?!”

Huang Zai’an hesitated about how to respond, but he heard Qi Yue already calling for Hei Lie.

“Apprentice, why do you call him here?”

“Since you can’t do it, there’s no point staying here. It might be better if you go back to Gemidu City, just in case there’s a need.”

Hearing this, Huang Zai’an instantly remembered the advice Zhao Xiyan had given him before he came and hurriedly intervened.

“Why are you being so heartless, child? Your master just wants to know something everyone else knows, why are you so resistant?”

Qi Yue simply ignored him.

“…Hei Lie, find someone, drive this old man away….”

Huang Zai’an shouted urgently.

“Apprentice, don’t call him yet, your master has a way to save him!”

At these words, Qi Yue’s face suddenly brightened with spirit.

“Really, Master? What is the method? Speak quickly!”

Huang Zai’an didn’t stall anymore, and immediately explained his thought-out method.

Qi Yue hadn’t felt conflicted until she heard it, but then she was deeply torn.

“Is this the only method? There’s no other perfect solution?”

Huang Zai’an “hmmphed.”

“This is the best method. To trade his iron-clad body for a natural death, what’s bad about that? Besides, not everyone can use this method, only someone like him has a second chance at life!”

“But,” Qi Yue hesitated, “Gensheng always prides himself on his invulnerable body. If he wakes up and finds I’ve turned him into an ordinary person, won’t he blame me?”

“That’s up to you,” Huang Zai’an said with a schadenfreude smile, “whether you want a living brother, or a living dead man.”

Qi Yue pressed her lips together and remained silent, finally speaking after a long while, “Let me think about it, we’ll talk again when we reach Youyun Mountain.”

“That’s right,” Huang Zai’an repeatedly agreed, “this isn’t an easy decision to make, don’t rush into it. Think it over clearly, understand it well, then go on with this matter…”

Overwhelmed by the clamor, Qi Yue was about to drive him out when Hei Lie quickly entered the courtyard.

“Master, there’s a letter!”

Seeing the familiar handwriting on the envelope, Qi Yue knew it was a letter from Zhao Xiyan and hurriedly took it to open.

Upon reading it, she felt overjoyed.

“When did this happen, Sheng Lang was just subdued like that?”

Hei Lie calculated the time.

“Responding to your query, master, it should be the day you left. The hot air balloon used for delivering this letter is fast, arriving here in just two days.”

Qi Yue nodded, spreading the letter to read it again.

Zhao Xiyan wrote in the letter that he had challenged Sheng Lang to a duel. The two had a great battle at sea, with Sheng Lang falling into the ocean and half his beard shaven off. Ultimately, Sheng Lang declared he would no longer use the Sodium Element laid in the seabed to trigger tsunamis.

The letter also mentioned that the Frogmen dredge up Sodium Element from the sea every night, and nearly half of it had been removed.

She believed that in ten days, all crises would be resolved.
