Wuxia: Become the 100-Victory Sword King at the Beginning

Chapter 51 51. What is the cause of the disease?
Although Shi Feiyang was already married, Lin Wanqing was still deeply in love with him. She visited him every day and took his pulse. After returning home, she tirelessly read medical books, trying to find out the cause of Shi Feiyang's illness, but she never succeeded.

During her visit that day, Lin Wanqing witnessed Shi Feiyang's agony and felt a burning anxiety that nearly consumed her. Her brow furrowed, beads of sweat dotted her forehead, and her eyes were filled with worry and concern.

She longed to improve her medical skills immediately and quickly diagnose the cause of Shi Feiyang's illness.

Lin Wanqing knew very well that Shi Feiyang had an extraordinary physique and strong recovery ability, but his current abnormal condition was puzzling.

She couldn't help but wonder if she had missed some subtleties in the diagnostic process or encountered an unheard-of condition.

When taking Shi Feiyang's pulse, her hands trembled slightly involuntarily, trying hard to capture the elusive clues.

Lin Wanqing said to Liu Guihua anxiously, "Guihua, you must observe Chief Shi's daily life more carefully, including his eating habits, sleeping patterns, and any changes in his mood. I believe these details may hold the key to solving the mystery."

Her voice trembled slightly with anxiety, and she spoke faster than usual, each word revealing an unmistakable sense of urgency.

Not long after, Lin Wanqing slowly walked out of the room. She tried to calm herself down and softly said to Liu Guihua, "Guihua, don't be too anxious. There must be a reason for Chief Shi's condition. I need to conduct a further thorough examination."

Although she tried to keep her tone steady, Liu Guihua was sensitive to the helplessness and anxiety in her voice.

Liu Guihua nodded slightly. Although she knew nothing about medicine, her love for Shi Feiyang was sincere and deep, and her concern was beyond words.

As time passed, Liu Guihua witnessed Shi Feiyang becoming increasingly haggard, and she became extremely anxious and increasingly depressed.

She often sat alone by the bed, staring at the sleeping Shi Feiyang, her eyes empty and confused, her heart filled with helplessness.

She began to carefully recall Shi Feiyang's recent abnormal behavior, trying to find possible clues, but after thinking about it, she could only suspect whether Shi Feiyang was poisoned by the Shenshui Palace.

Liu Guihua then relayed Liu Yanran's parting words to Lin Wanqing.

Lin Wanqing was very surprised when she heard this, and hurried back to Shi Feiyang's side, touching his pulse with her slender fingers.

Closing her eyes and concentrating, she devoted herself to exploring the condition inside Shi Feiyang's body.

However, after a thorough examination, she still frowned and found nothing.

Confusion and helplessness intertwined on her face, and she kept asking herself in her heart: "What exactly is the problem? Why have I found nothing?"

She began to doubt whether her medical skills were inadequate and that she had overlooked some key details. She had to thoroughly examine Shi Feiyang's body again, not missing any details.

After an almost rigorous and meticulous examination, Lin Wanqing concluded that there was no sign of poisoning in Shi Feiyang's body. On the contrary, his internal strength seemed to have suddenly increased several times in a short period of time, but his body temperature was abnormally low.

This discovery made her even more confused, because normally, when the internal energy is strengthened, the body temperature should rise, but Shi Feiyang's situation is contrary to common sense. At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.

Everyone looked up and saw a disciple from Changsheng Castle rushing over with a panicked look on his face, obviously having something urgent to report.

The disciple panted and reported, "Lord of the Castle, the troops from the Divine Water Palace are heading this way, and they are very powerful!"

When Lin Wanqing heard this, her expression instantly became solemn. She knew very well how powerful the Shenshui Palace was and that they must have some ulterior motive in coming here.

So she made a quick decision, ordered to strengthen the vigilance and prepare for possible battle.

At the same time, she vaguely felt that this sudden conflict might be inextricably linked to Shi Feiyang's abnormal condition.

However, at this moment, Shi Feiyang suddenly opened his eyes.

There was a cold sharpness in his eyes, like a beast awakening from slumber. He exuded unquestionable confidence and was ready to meet the upcoming challenges.

However, beneath this strong appearance, Shi Feiyang is suffering from the merciless torture of illness.

Every breath he took felt like a sharp blade pounding inside his chest, and every joint in his body felt like it was being hammered continuously, causing unbearable pain. But he endured the pain, not letting others notice.

"Wanqing, don't worry, I have my own plan to deal with it." Shi Feiyang stood up slowly, his tone revealing a firm and unshakable belief, which contained power and gave everyone present an indescribable sense of security.

Lin Wanqing stared at Shi Feiyang, and an indescribable trust surged in her heart. She nodded to express her trust and belief in Shi Feiyang's judgment and ability.

Then, accompanied by Lin Wanqing, the disciples of Changsheng Fort, and several other companions, Shi Feiyang stepped out of the room and bravely faced the upcoming challenge. His figure appeared particularly majestic in the cover of the night, like an indestructible mountain.

However, this time, Liu Yanran led the elite of Shenshui Palace to Changsheng Castle with the intention of exchanging Gong Simeng for Shi Feiyang's hostages in order to retrieve Liu Tingting, Gong Ci'en, and Gong Yao'en. When Gong Simeng saw Shi Feiyang, time seemed to freeze.

Several months ago, she was ordered to monitor Snow Eagle Castle. During that time, she silently observed Shi Feiyang every day, witnessing his fearless courage and chivalrous spirit. Unconsciously, her heart was attracted by this young hero who was both wise and brave.

Although she knew that Shi Feiyang was already married, once the seeds of love took root in her heart, they spread quickly.

As a maid in Shenshui Palace, she has long been accustomed to the intrigues and deceptions in the martial arts world.

For her, being able to accompany Shi Feiyang was the greatest satisfaction. At this moment, the joy of reunion made her unable to control herself, her eyes filled with tears, her lips trembled slightly, and her body involuntarily moved closer to Shi Feiyang.

"Brother Shi!" Gong Simeng called out, her voice full of excitement and grievance, and she threw herself into Shi Feiyang's arms regardless of everything.

Her tears flowed like a spring, wetting Shi Feiyang's clothes. She hugged Shi Feiyang tightly with her hands, as if once she let go, Shi Feiyang would disappear from her life.

"Brother Shi, I miss you so much. During the days when Liu Yanran imprisoned me, I missed you every day and was afraid that I would never see you again." She choked with sobs, tears in every word, expressing the fear and longing in her heart.

Shi Feiyang hugged Gong Simeng tightly, feeling her body temperature and rapid heartbeat. He patted Gong Simeng's back gently and comforted her in a gentle tone: "Everything is over. The suffering is over. Let's go home."

Gong Simeng gradually regained her composure in Shi Feiyang's embrace. She raised her tear-stained face and gazed at him, her voice choking with emotion. "Brother Shi, during the difficult time you faced the villains of Snow Eagle Fort, I have been secretly observing you. I was captivated by your bravery, and so I gave up everything to come and join you."

When Shi Feiyang heard Gong Simeng's words, he suddenly felt a sharp pain deep in his heart, as if he was stabbed by a sharp knife.

He hugged Gong Simeng even tighter, wanting to merge her into his body, and promised affectionately: "I will not let you leave me. No matter what happens in the future, no matter what difficulties and challenges we will face, I will be by your side, protecting you and guarding you forever." Gong Simeng was so moved by these words that tears burst out like a flood.

When Liu Guihua witnessed this scene, her sense of loss became even stronger.

A hint of loneliness flashed in her eyes as she silently turned around and walked to the side. Her shoulders trembled slightly, and she felt mixed emotions. She wondered if Shi Feiyang's discomfort at night was due to missing Gong Simeng.

At this time, Lin Wanqing and the others also gathered around.

They saw Shi Feiyang and Gong Simeng hugging each other tightly, and they all showed relieved smiles on their faces.

Shi Feiyang noticed Liu Guihua's doubts, but he only responded with a faint smile and did not give a direct answer. He knew that the most urgent thing at the moment was to ensure Gong Simeng's safety, and other matters could be temporarily put aside.

He patted Gong Simeng's back gently and soothed her with a soft voice until she gradually calmed down.

Gong Simeng's beauty lies not only in her ethereal beauty but also in the resilience and gentleness she displays in the face of adversity. In the moonlight, her skin seems to radiate a gentle glow, while her eyes sparkle with wisdom and courage. Gong Simeng's beauty is unique and unforgettable.

Lin Wanqing witnessed this scene, and in order to prevent Liu Guihua from misunderstanding and sadness, she took Gong Simeng away and treated her with kindness as her own sister.

At the same time, Lin Wanqing also intends to learn the secrets of Shenshui Palace from Gong Simeng so that she can take revenge more effectively in the future.

Especially for the intricate topographic map of Shenshui Palace, Lin Wanqing was eager to obtain it from Gong Simeng.

However, Gong Simeng's heart was already tied to Shi Feiyang, and she often evaded Lin Wanqing's attempts at probing her, leaving her feeling frustrated. Despite this, Lin Wanqing refused to give up, believing that as long as she continued to care for and accompany Gong Simeng, she would eventually earn her trust and uncover the secrets of Shenshui Palace. Therefore, Lin Wanqing devoted herself even more diligently to Gong Simmeng's care, often taking her for walks and sharing anecdotes with her, striving to bridge the gap between them.

After Lin Wanqing and Gong Simeng left, Shi Feiyang, a man of extraordinary talent, was filled with complicated emotions.

He felt a little relieved for Gong Simeng's safety, but also worried about Lin Wanqing's intentions. Shi Feiyang knew that Lin Wanqing's outward enthusiasm could not cover up the flames of revenge deep in her heart, and this flame was very likely to involve Gong Simeng.

However, he was unable to change the situation at the moment. He could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that Gong Simeng would be safe and sound.

Late at night, Changsheng Castle was quiet.

Shi Feiyang stood alone in the night, gazing silently into the distance.

After a while, Liu Guihua came and urged him to go back to his room to rest.

When Shi Feiyang heard Liu Guihua's urging, he felt fear in his heart.

He was afraid of facing Liu Guihua's disappointed eyes, afraid that he would not be able to give her enough care, and even more afraid that his illness would bring more pain and troubles to the people around him.
