Chapter 3329 — Lin Dongfang's Recollections
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Sure enough, after a while Lin Dongfang's voice came again: "Xiaoyi, Wang Xinyan's condition has reminded me of something, though I cannot be certain. I need to look up some records. Wait for my call!"
"Then how do we treat Xinyan in the meantime?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Leave her be for now. In her present state she is in no immediate danger—if my guess is right." Lin Dongfang paused, then went on heavily, "And if I am wrong, then I have no idea what is wrong with her, and there is even less I can do. So wait for my word!"
"All right!" Anxious as Wei Zhao was, Old Man Wei had said all there was to say. Wei Zhao knew nothing more could be done; all that remained was to wait.
The minutes and seconds crawled by. Barely ten minutes had passed since the call ended, yet Wei Zhao felt each one an age. Xiaoshu was equally frantic. "Arrow Brand Bro, do you think Sister Xinyan is a Legacy Bearer too?"
"A Legacy Bearer?" Wei Zhao was taken aback. As far as he knew, of the seven attributes of the Five Elements, there were seven Legacy Bearers—among them Xiaoxiao, Xiaoshu, Yaoyao, and Xiaojiu—with three still missing. Could Wang Xinyan be one of them?
Wei Zhao did not think it impossible, but from his acquaintance with Wang Xinyan, he had never sensed any special attribute about her. Then again, such an attribute might be latent, only now awakening.
Still, the odds were likely very small, for Wang Xinyan's fainting spells were nothing new—she had been frail and sickly since childhood. So Wei Zhao shook his head. "Possible, but unlikely. Let us wait for my grandfather's word."
"Mm..." Shen Yushu had only spoken offhandedly. The two of them kept watch at Wang Xinyan's side, waiting quietly for news.
For half an hour Wei Zhao felt each moment drag like a year—until at last Lin Dongfang called.
"Old man, how is it? Any news?" Wei Zhao snatched up the phone the instant it rang.
"Xiaoyi... unless I am mistaken, Wang Xinyan's constitution... is the same as, or similar to, that of someone I once met..." Lin Dongfang said slowly.
"What constitution?" Wei Zhao was startled. Could Wang Xinyan have some special constitution after all? Otherwise, why would the old man say such a thing? RS
