Chapter 925: Strange Illness (4)
Long Xueyao, Wu Run, and Qin Qiong exchanged a look. They had more or less heard about curses, but since Warlock had been extinct for many years, none of them even thought about them as culprits.
“Doctor Wei, do you think the words of little brother Shen Jue are trustworthy?” This matter was of great importance, so Qin Qiong could only consult Doctor Wei.
Doctor Wei shook his head and hesitated for a while before saying, “I couldn’t figure out City Lord’s condition in the first place. Now that Little Brother Shen Jue has said it, it’s quite possible that is the case. After all, City Lord has taken a lot of medicine over the years, but he hasn’t improved in the slightest. Moreover, when City Lord acts up, his body does indeed have a certain corrosive nature.”
Upon hearing Physician Wei’s words, the three of them looked even worse for wear.
“What exactly happened to father back then? Uncle Wu, Uncle Qin, do you know?” Long Xueyao was a little anxious. Compared to an illness, a curse was more terrifying.
Wu Run and Qin Qiong both smiled bitterly.
“Back then, the Head went out alone and he didn’t allow us to follow him. We really don’t know what happened to him back then. All these years, when we asked about what happened back then, the Head always avoided talking about it.”
If Long Fei was willing to reveal a thing or two, they would not have been so pa.s.sive.
Long Xueyao was very anxious.
If it was an illness, they could still think of ways to treat it.
However, if it was a curse…
How many Warlocks existed in the continent? How many were known by the world?
“Shen Yanxiao!” Long Xueyao exclaimed.
Shen Yanxiao was shocked.
“To Sun Never Sets! The City Lord of Sun Never Sets, Shen Yanxiao, is a Warlock! She might have a way to save my father!” Long Xueyao thought of Shen Yanxiao, who had been quite talked about during this period of time.
“Young City Lord… She is a Warlock… Do you think she will agree?” Wu Run was not optimistic about Long Xueyao’s idea.
He really did not have a good impression of Warlocks.
“No matter what method she uses, as long as she is willing to save my father, I am willing to pay any price!” Long Xueyao was firm. Compared with Long Fei, everything else was not important.
Shen Yanxiao stood silently at the side. As the person in question, she was standing beside Long Xueyao, listening to her wis.h.i.+ng to go to Sun Never Sets. It really felt… very strange… very strange.
But…
She really did not know how to lift the curse!
She was still an Advanced Warlock and was still one step away from being a Second-Cla.s.s Expert. Even if she stood out and revealed her ident.i.ty now, she still could not remove the curse on Long Fei.
There were only two ways to save Long Fei. The first way was to ask Yun Qi to help.
But, Shen Yanxiao would never force her own teacher to appear in front of others.
The other way was to wait until she unlocked the sixth layer of her seal tonight to see if she could successfully break through and become a Second-Cla.s.s Expert. As long as she broke through the second stage, she would have a way to deal with the curse.
Unfortunately, Shen Yanxiao’s thoughts could not be told to Long Xueyao.
Not to mention that the relations.h.i.+p between Blizzard City and Sun Never Sets was not very friendly. Furthermore, she just talked about the possibility of it being a curse, so if she were to jump out and say that she could solve it, even if Long Xueyao did not suspect her, Wu Run and Qin Qiong would suspect that she had ulterior motives.
It’s hard to be a good person!
“This… there’s no hurry for the time being. The current situation of City Lord Long is not suitable to travel far. It’s not too late to wait until City Lord Long recovers. Besides, Miss Long, you’d better ask your father why he was injured. After all, a curse is only my guess.” Shen Yanxiao tried to calm the tense situation.
