Chapter 3405 — No Solution
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"It's all right, Mr. Lin. I trust you will surely bring Xiaoke back to consciousness. But as for asking me about this matter, I'm afraid I don't know what's wrong with Xiaoke for the moment. However, when I went home last time, I brought back our Yu family's journals. I'll search through them and see if any similar case is mentioned!" Yu Dake said. Though the journals were many and long, for Yu Xiaoke's sake he intended to read them from the beginning.
"All right, then I'll wait for your news!" Wei Zhao had not obtained an answer from Yu Dake, which was in fact within his expectations, but Yu Dake's mention that the journals might contain a solution gave him a sliver of hope.
"How is it? How is it?" Shen Yushu asked anxiously the moment he hung up.
"Ah, Dake has no solution either." Wei Zhao sighed. "It seems I'll have to ask the old man at home."
"Yes, yes, Grandpa Lin is so capable—he's sure to have a way," Shen Yushu said.
Wei Zhao nodded and dialed Lin Dongfang's number. Ordinarily, he would not lightly trouble his adoptive grandfather over trifles; it was only because he truly had no other recourse that he did so now.
"Xiao Yi, what is it? Calling this old man all of a sudden—have you run into trouble again?" They say a father knows his son best, and the same held for this adoptive grandfather.
"Old man, I really have run into some trouble." Wei Zhao gave a wry smile. "Yu Xiaoke has collapsed."
"Yu Xiaoke collapsed? And who might Yu Xiaoke be? What does she do?" The old man was taken aback; he had never heard Wei Zhao mention Yu Xiaoke before, so her sudden appearance caught him off guard.
"Uh... she's a... close lady friend of mine." Wei Zhao broke into a sweat and explained, "Never mind her and me for now—let me first tell you about her..."
With that, Wei Zhao told the old man how Yu Xiaoke had obtained the Nüwa Heaven-Mending Formula, then explained the formula's special properties and how Yu Xiaoke had collapsed earlier while shielding him from an attack.
"Collapsed while shielding you from an attack..." The old man paused slightly. "I've never encountered such a thing. Why don't you bring her back and let me have a look? I'll see for myself what the problem is."
"That works. I'll come back, then." Wei Zhao happened to have nothing else on his hands at the moment, so he decided to return and let the old man take a look.
After hanging up, Qiu Lingshan said at once, "We'll all go back with you. This matter started because of me—I was too greedy for merit. If not for the development of the Mysterious Investigation Bureau, I would never have taken on this hidden-family mission, and then Xiaoke would not have collapsed." (To be continued.
