Ruan Mingzhu eventually didn't wake up.
With a heavy heart, Qin Xi walked out of Zhili Building and went towards the main hall to look for Lord Daoist Jinghe.
Lord Daoist Jinghe was sitting on his dragon couch, rummaging through piles of books and Jade Slips. When he noticed Qin Xi, he briefly lifted his line of sight. "Why were you so quick today?"
Qin Xi didn't answer. He picked a seat not too far from Lord Daoist Jinghe and followed with rummaging through several books as well. As Qin Xi did so, he asked, "Master, what're you looking for?"
Lord Daoist Jinghe didn't shift his gaze from the books. He continued flipping through the books while saying: "I'm looking for a way to save Mingzhu." After a while, he noticed that instead of answering, Qin Xi sat looking like his mind was wandering somewhere, so he couldn't help but say: "You have to think of a solution too—we can't be unconcerned about her."
