Chapter 644 - 644 No Cure
644 No Cure
“You don’t need to know what we’re talking about.”
Zhu An’an stuck out her tongue at Zhu Asi.
“You little brat!
Zhu Asi felt both angry and amused.
Zhu An’an was really something else.
However, he could not say anything. They were all companions, after all.
Murong Kuan panicked as he listened to their jokes.
He did not want to stay in such a dangerous place while being so vulnerable.
Now that Master Long was not here, the others could totally get rid of him.
He hoped that Master Long would return soon. Otherwise, he would really lose his life.
Master Long had rushed over with a group of people. A few people were carrying a corpse behind him. They were wearing the uniform of the dungeon guards.
Master Long was quite fast.
Jiang Ming was filled with emotion.
“Lord Ning Caichen, how is this corpse?”
Although it met the standard of the corpse that Jiang Ming needed, Master Long was still a little worried. He looked at Jiang Ming expectantly, and his eyes were uncertain.
Jiang Ming walked to the corpse and lifted the white cloth covering it.
The deceased was about twenty years old and was strong and muscular. There was a deep strangulation mark on his neck. It was obvious that he had been strangled to death.
He placed his hand on the corpse’s pulse and used his internal energy to probe it. He felt that the heart was as good as new. It was exactly the heart he wanted.
“Yes.”
Jiang Ming nodded.
Master Long looked at Murong Kuan and asked with concern, “Prince Liang, how are you feeling now?”
Hearing Master Long’s voice, Murong Kuan felt a little relieved. Even the faint pain in his heart could be ignored. “I feel fine.”
“Master Long, I need you to leave. I need to treat Prince Liang alone.”
Jiang Ming looked at Master Long with a serious expression.
Now that he had everything, he was missing a place to be alone.
“No need. I’ll get my subordinates to take me back first.”
Before Master Long could reply, Murong Kuan became nervous. He immediately shouted for his subordinates to help him up.
“Prince Liang, if you don’t get treatment, you will die tonight.”
Seeing that Murong Kuan did not appreciate it at all, Jiang Ming could not be bothered to pay attention to him anymore and spoke sarcastically.
He really scoffed at his good intentions. He did not care anymore. After all, it was not his body.
Hearing Jiang Ming’s words, Murong Kuan’s body trembled. His left hand, which was originally on his arm, slipped down, and his entire body almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, his subordinates held him steady.
This time, Zhu Asi was also unhappy. He felt that it was not worth it for Ning Caichen.
Even Ning Caichen put in so much effort to save Murong Kuan, but Murong Kuan did not know how to be grateful.
He asked sarcastically, “Prince Liang, can you walk out of this door?”
Zhu An’an was even angrier. She felt as if her entire person was on fire. She growled, “Mister, Prince Liang doesn’t need you to save him. You’d better not ask for trouble.”
Who did Murong Kuan think he was?
Everyone could see what kind of character Jiang Ming had. How could he suspect that Jiang Ming would kill him? It was really a waste of effort to save him!
The monk and Madman Junior stood at the side and watched the show silently.
They were just bystanders unwilling to get involved in this matter.
However, Prince Liang was really a fool. If they really wanted to kill him, it would only arouse the suspicion of Master Long.
At that time, the king of the Daliang Kingdom would have to take revenge for his brother and come looking for them. Wouldn’t they be asking for trouble?
Prince Liang was so stupid. He might as well die.
“Prince Liang, Lord Ning Caichen’s character is known far and wide. I’m here, so I won’t let him harm you.”
Master Long understood what Murong Kuan was thinking and went forward to persuade him.
If Murong Kuan disappeared after a few steps, then he would not be able to escape responsibility.
The weight of the burden in his heart had increased by a lot.
How could Prince Liang be so brainless? Ning Caichen clearly had sincere intentions.
Hearing everyone say so, Murong Kuan immediately realized his own foolish behavior.
He did not know if Ning Caichen was willing to save him. He did not want to die.
However, with his illness, even if he were saved, he would most likely live for a few more years, right?
Forget it; a few more years was better than nothing.
“Lord Ning Caichen, please save me. I was being stupid.”
Murong Kuan kneeled down in the dark. He looked helpless and completely different from his high-spirited self just now.
Seeing Murong Kuan like this, Jiang Ming could not help but sympathize with him. He decided to forget about it.
“Prince Liang, your att.i.tude toward me just now deeply hurt me.”
With Murong Kuan’s personality, if he saved him, he might end up blaming him for being unable to cure him completely.
He did not want to trouble himself.
Coincidentally, the doctor that Master Long had hired arrived.
He was an old man with a white beard and a box in his hand.
“Doctor, come and take a look.”
Seeing Jiang Ming like this, Master Long sighed and quickly called the doctor. He then looked at Murong Kuan and said, “Prince Liang, get up quickly. Your health is more important now.”
Murong Kuan was regretful, but he knew there was no other way. He stood up with the help of his subordinates and sat back down on the chair.
“Lord Ning Caichen, please sit down as well.” After greeting Murong Kuan, Master Long did not forget about the people who were still carrying the corpse. He ordered, “Put the body aside first.”
Jiang Ming sat back down and sized up Master Long.
Master Long was really kind.
The doctor also checked Murong Kuan’s pulse; cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.
He fell to his knees with a thud. He looked fl.u.s.tered and stuttered, “Please spare my life, Master Long. I…”
“What’s going on? How could this have happened?”
Master Long could not believe it. Ning Caichen had said that he could be saved, but now he could not be saved by this doctor.
The doctor wiped the sweat off his forehead. “Prince Liang is already beyond cure. It’s a waste of effort to continue treating him. If he was treated at the beginning, perhaps…”
Toward the end, the doctor’s voice became softer and softer until there was no sound at all.
His body began to tremble more and more. Ultimately, he could not even kneel down and fell to the side.
“Isn’t there any other way to cure him?”
Master Long suddenly felt that Murong Kuan’s illness was troublesome. He glanced at Jiang Ming from time to time and felt helpless.
Ning Caichen was the only one who could save Prince Liang now!
It was a pity that Prince Liang did not know what was good for him. Otherwise, he would not have treated Ning Caichen like that.
“No, there isn’t any other way,” the doctor said in a low voice.
