Chapter 984 — She Is Going to Die? Is This Real? Tang Zhi Suddenly Feels a Sense of Unreality

"No." Wei Zhao's answer was blunt. "I could not even determine what illness she has. As far as I can tell, she is not ill at all. How am I supposed to treat her?"
Wei Zhao was not trying to crush Feng Tianlong; he was simply stating the facts. Otherwise, if he gave the man hope, the disappointment later would be all the greater.
"This..." Feng Tianlong's face fell at once. When he had first summoned Wei Zhao, he had been full of hope! After all, Wei Zhao had saved Liu Zhenhu, and more crucially, the last time Feng Xiaoxiao had an attack, it was Wei Zhao who had brought her back! Yet she had not been cured — the indicators in her body had merely turned back a little from their worst, a slight rise that would soon sink to the trough again.
Even so, it had given Feng Tianlong tremendous hope! In his eyes, once Feng Xiaoxiao fell into a coma, it was the sign that she was nearing the end of her life, and no medical means could help her — yet Wei Zhao had pulled her back!
But Wei Zhao's words struck Feng Tianlong like a blow to the head, and he found them hard to accept. "Then how did you save Xiaoxiao last time? How about... you examine her condition more carefully?"
"All I did was channel all the true qi in my body into her. That is not treatment," Wei Zhao said. "And this is not a matter of care or carelessness. You and I are both cultivators; you should know that once my true qi has circulated through Xiaoxiao's body, I can determine what ails her. But I found nothing."
"This..." Feng Tianlong hesitated, then said, "Wei Zhao, can you think of some other way? I, Feng Tianlong, may not have much money, but if you are willing to help, whatever conditions you set, I will meet them even if I have to sell everything I own!"
"Uncle Feng, you are putting it too strongly!" Wei Zhao's expression turned grave. "You know something of what kind of man I am. When I treated the Liu family, I took a hundred million — that was because I did not know them. But when I treated Yang Huaijun, I took not a single cent and did everything in my power. Your relationship with me is the same as Yang Huaijun's with me... I think I need not say more..."
Feng Tianlong's expression shifted. Yang Huaijun he naturally knew as well; they had all worked together. Wei Zhao's words made his position clear: if he could save Xiaoxiao, he would do so without hesitation. But saying this now meant there truly was no way.
"Wei Zhao, then if Xiaoxiao falls into a coma again, can you still channel your true qi into her..." Feng Tianlong knew his request was somewhat excessive. A martial artist prized his own true qi above all, for it was cultivated drop by drop through bitter effort. To give it away to another for nothing would not only diminish his own strength, but might even endanger his life... So when he said this, Feng Tianlong was very tense.
"Yes!" This time Wei Zhao answered just as bluntly — only it was an affirmative answer. True qi was important to Wei Zhao, but not vitally so; once spent, it could be swiftly restored within the jade pendant's space.
