Chapter 107: Old Friend 2

"When I was overseas, I came upon an exotic plant called shewei. If you place someone's belongings on it and nourish it with some blood, it will grow into a form identical to that person." Ji Yunhe smiled.

"I've heard there are many rare and wondrous plants and herbs overseas, but I never imagined something like this."

"Mhm. He can walk and move, but he cannot speak or think," Snow March explained.

"Although he is not the real Li Shu, he has been keeping me company for a long time. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish what's real anymore."

Ji Yunhe looked at her and thought of the Grand Master and Princess Shunde. He had also been using Shunde as a spiritual support over the years, and look how he ended up… But this Li Shu would never turn into a Shunde, nor would Snow March ever turn into a Grand Master.

"What's real and what's fake will never be the same. It's fine to keep him if it makes you happy, but it's best that you maintain clarity and know the difference."

Ji Yunhe then looked around and asked, "Where is Changyi?"

The room fell silent again. Seeing the hesitation on their faces, Ji Yunhe grew tense and sat up.

"What happened to Changyi? You know how I am, if you have something to say, don't keep it from me."

Luo Jinsang answered nervously, "The fish is not doing very well… Baldy is still treating him..."

Ji Yunhe immediately hopped out of bed and ran outside, Luo Jinsang and Snow March followed.

"Don't panic, his life is safe for now…" Snow March's voice did not reach her ears. Ji Yunhe was already gone with the wind. She stumbled all the way to Changyi's room and saw him sitting on the bed. Kongming had just finished his treatment and was now putting away his needles. Although Changyi's face was pale, his mind seemed alert.

When Ji Yunhe barged in, he and Kongming both looked at her at the same time. The monk threw her a side eye and said, "This one sure recovers fast."

Ji Yunhe was in no mood to squabble with him. She walked straight to Changyi and looked at his pale face.

"Do you still feel pain anywhere?" she asked while touching his head. Changyi was still the same as before, nodding and answering honestly, "I still feel discomfort in my legs and feet, but they should be fine in a few days." Ji Yunhe breathed a sigh of relief, but Kongming sitting on the other side said,

"Whether you're fine or not in a few days is still too early to say. You have been overusing your magic way too much. Fish, I guarantee, if you had cast even one more spell, you would've been carried back as broken pieces of ice. You should consider yourself lucky that you can still sit here and talk right now."

Ji Yunhe felt very bad for Changyi, but before she could say more, someone outside reported that Lin Haoqing had arrived. She and Changyi looked at each other. Changyi nodded and said, "Bring him in."
