"Is she alright now? I have just tested her with the equipment numerous times, and the results show that all her indicators are normal, but she just won't wake up, no matter what method I use. Please, tell me, is Shangguan Linlang unharmed?"
Although Nalan Fusui knew that as a doctor he shouldn't believe in those mystical things, after witnessing a series of phenomena that couldn't be explained by science, he could only seek help from the archaeologists of the Shangguan Family. Of course, it was more important that at the moment when those two jade pieces emitted white light, he felt as if his head was about to explode. Nalan Fusui no longer doubted his relationship with the mysterious woman lying on the bed. Now he truly believed in Shangguan Linlang, perhaps he had some deep connection with her during some unconscious moments, although Nalan Fusui thought such ideas were childish, laughable, and challenged common sense.
But when everything around you starts to deviate from the norm, you can't help but seek help from other channels. Superstition is not, in fact, an original sin. People can always find so-called scientific explanations for things they can accept; and those they can't accept or are unwilling to accept are simply dismissed as superstition, self-righteously claiming they are defenders of science, which is utterly ridiculous.
"Stop playing the saint here. Our lady was full of energy before she saw you, thrashing one after seeing one, fighting a pair after seeing two, lively and jumping around. But now, after seeing you, she has turned from an upright position into lying like a corpse. And you have the nerve to ask us if she's alright. If she's in trouble, it is all your fault," Shangguan Zifeng spoke with piercing accusation. This young man's ability to berate was unparalleled—if he claimed to be second, no one dared to claim first. His skill was always top-notch, and he never encountered a challenger.
"Can't you speak with a little decency? I believe Fusui didn't do it on purpose; he just didn't want to deceive Miss Shangguan, that's all. I've known him since we were kids; the Nalan family lineage is a single line of succession with only one son. He simply does not have a sister, so when Miss Shangguan suddenly asked him that, Fusui definitely didn't dare to casually acknowledge. But if he had known that Miss Shangguan would become so agitated and cause such an accident, he would have surely placated her first."
Xuanyuan Wuji really couldn't stand by and listen to Shangguan Zifeng continue to blame his good brother. That brat, didn't he see how pale Fusui's face had become from his words? Although the president didn't know what caused Fusui's attitude towards Shangguan Linlang to undergo such a drastic 180-degree change in such a short period of time, to support his good brother, the president still generously stood up and faced down Shangguan Zifeng.
"Stop your bickering; there is still a patient here. All of you, get out of here," Old Master Shangguan was pained by the noise these people were making; he suddenly got up from the ground and quickly walked to Shangguan Linlang's bedside, looking at the living ancestor of the Shangguan family with a face full of compassion.
"Alright, there's no need to argue anymore. Our Linlang shouldn't be in any danger to her life, but when she will wake is up to her own fate. We can't speculate on such matters of chance. Zifeng, you stay here and take good care of Linlang, got it? I'll go back with your grandfather to think of a solution and will rush over later in the evening," Shangguan Changning also noticed the tense atmosphere in the observation room, but as a shrewd person, he had already seen that everyone present was concerned for their little ancestor and had no ill intent, so he refrained from further argument with the younger generation.
"Fengfeng, this time you must guard Linda well. If any mishaps happen to her again, you will be expelled from the Shangguan Family," Old Master Shangguan suddenly spoke to Shangguan Zifeng with a menacing look.
"Grandpa, you can't be serious? This really isn't my fault. I'm also distressed about our lady's accident. Why don't you deal with this actual culprit? Why turn your gun on your own people?" Shangguan Zifeng's complexion turned ashen as soon as he heard his grandfather, Shangguan Yongyou's words. He knew it was serious when the old man actually threatened to expel him from the family.
"You dare to argue back? No matter the reasons, Linlang was under your protection when this happened, and you must take full responsibility. How could you fail to protect her knowing how many generations' hopes rest upon her? Even if you had ten thousand lives, it wouldn't be enough to atone. Even if all the living members of the Shangguan Family were to die with her, we couldn't afford it," Shangguan Yongyou spoke once more, uttering even more severe words.
