Chapter 288.1

Chapter 288.1

Such cruel and heartless words were actually spoken by her own Uncle Master.

We are supposed to be a righteous sect!

And one of the leaders of the righteous path in the rivers and lakes!

Yuxu Taoist Master glanced at Song Yufei, seemingly understanding what was on her mind, and said, Yufei, dont think your Uncle Master is cruel! All our actions are based on the interests of the Taoist Sect, and we must not act on impulse!

For more than two years, we have invested enough in him! But with all the input and no output, even the great Taoist Sect cannot withstand such turmoil. There have been a lot of objections within the Taoist Sect for a long time, and its time to stop!

You must understand that we actually dont owe him anything. On the contrary, he owes us! If it werent for us, he would have died, and Great Luo would have been destroyed long ago! So, dont lend a hand anymore! Let him be free, and let us be free. That is the best choice right now!

Uncle Master, Yufei understands, Song Yufei lowered her head.

Although she understood, she did not agree with this approach.

Unfortunately, she was just a junior in the Taoist Sect, only able to carry out orders and unable to influence the decisions of those above.

Yuxu Taoist Master glanced at the comatose Great Luo Emperor on the bed, placed his hand on the Emperors pulse, and while stroking his beard with the other hand, said, His body is weak and depleted, like a lamp running out of oil. Im afraid he wont live more than three months! This is actually good. We can start looking for the next wise ruler! This is not the place to talk. Lets go outside!

Yes, Uncle Master!

After the two left, the eyelids of the Great Luo Emperor on the bed fluttered slightly.

Next, the imperial physician exhausted all his skills, performing acupuncture and taking the pulse of the Great Luo Emperor, trying to relax his muscles and restore vitality.

In less than a day, the Great Luo Emperor woke up.

However, he was still weak, with pale lips and a greenish face, unable to sit up at all.

Your Majesty, here is some medicinal soup. After drinking it, you will recover quickly! The physician carefully brought over a bowl of the concoction.

But he was stopped by Yuxu Taoist Master: Wait, I am also well-versed in medicine. Let me take a look first!

The physician hesitated for a moment, but considering that the Taoist Master had been guarding the Emperors side and must be his most trusted person, he thought there should be no problem with letting him check.

Your Majesty, illness struck as suddenly as a mountain collapsing, but it will recede as slowly as drawing silk! You have been overworking yourself these days, which is why you fell ill! What you need to do now is to gradually recuperate, and you will soon recover! The old Taoist Master consoled him.

May your words be auspicious, Taoist Master! The Great Luo Emperor nodded.

About half an hour later, he fell into a deep sleep again after taking his medicine and having a little millet porridge.

The following days were the same.

The Great Luo Emperor would wake up two or three times a day, each time for about half an hour, take his medicine, eat something, and then fall asleep again.

The Taoist Master remained by his side, unwavering in his protection. The Emperors food and drink all passed through his hands, a testament to his utmost dedication.

Meanwhile, various rumors started circulating outside.

Have you heard? The Great Luo Emperor is on his last legs!

How is that possible? Hes still so young!

Its true! They say that hes been so worried about state affairs lately that he fell ill from the stress, collapsing right in the imperial palace! They say he even coughed up blood, as much as two liters!

Yes, I also heard from an eunuch on duty in the palace that His Majesty is still bedridden with no signs of improvement!

But doesnt the Great Luo Emperor have the support of the Taoist Sect? Cant they just give him some divine elixir?

I heard that a senior from the Taoist Sect has been constantly by the Great Luo Emperors side, tirelessly treating his illness! But the Emperors condition is so severe that even medicines and remedies are of no use!

What a pity!

The rumors were detailed and convincing.
