Yan Li's body tensed up almost imperceptibly.
After a brief hesitation, he nodded, "Yes ... our Piercing Stone Beastmen are very good at digging caves, and the caves we dig are very strong."
Su Tang looked around the cave they were in and nodded her agreement, "I can see that."
With this little diversion, Yan Li's mind had cleared a fair bit.
"Madam Saint, could you come with me to see the elder? If he doesn't receive medical attention soon, he... he might soon meet with the Beast God…"
Su Tang turned to glance at Gaiyin.
In his eyes, she saw a look that could calm her.
She then turned back and nodded, "Of course, I did say that I wanted to see your elder to know if there's still hope for him. You must not hold out too much hope, a doctor can't perform miracles. If there is a cure, I will spare no effort in trying it. If there isn't... rest assured, I'll certainly do my utmost!"
In truth, Su Tang did not want to say this, but it had to be said.
