"Master Li, Xiuran's body …"
Heavenly Owl's leader, Haitang, stared at the white-haired elderly man who was examining the man's body.
"There's no medical equipment here, so we can't perform a detailed examination. However, based on initial calculations, he probably has a few more months at most," Master Li said with a sigh as he shook his head.
"Um …" Haitang stared at Ji Xiuran, finding it hard to imagine that this man was about to pass away.
"It's fine." A faint smile appeared on the man's pale face. "We've already profited."
"Actually, Haitang, you should know that Emperor Ji's condition is already considered a miracle." Master Li shook his head.
"Back then, I personally diagnosed Emperor Ji's terminal illness. He had two to three years at most. Emperor Ji was able to survive until now entirely by relying on unimaginable willpower, and the price of this willpower is that he has to endure unimaginable pain every day," Master Li said with a sigh.
"Heh, I didn't expect you to also come in here with Haitang, Master Li," Ji Xiuran said with a faint smile.
"That day, Master Li was tasting tea with me and suffered this unexpected calamity. I'm also very apologetic." Haitang looked at Master Li.
"Haitang, what are you saying? It doesn't make any difference to me whether I'm caught or not. How much longer can this bag of old bones last in this world? It doesn't matter if I turn into bones sooner or later," Master Li replied.
"Master Li … is there really nothing that can be done about Xiuran's illness?" Haitang asked with a frown.
Master Li was silent for a moment before shaking his head. "To Emperor Ji, every day now is probably torture."
"He can endure it. There's no need to worry." Ji Xiuran chuckled at Haitang.
"Emperor Ji, Haitang, I'll go out and take a look at the situation here."
Master Li helped Ji Xiuran put on his clothes and promptly got up to leave the prison.
The prison here was like a decoration. It wasn't locked and could be entered and exited at will. It served as a residence, but this entire island was the true prison.
…
"Unimaginable willpower. Xiuran, is it because of Worriless?"
After Master Li left, Haitang looked at the man in front of her who had a perpetual smile on his face.
Even though he knew that he didn't have much time left, that he would need to consume a large amount of medicine every day, and that he would have to endure unimaginable pain, his face still had an extremely powerful smile.
"Is it because of Worriless that you've persisted until now? Is it because you haven't found her that you're unwilling to give up?" Haitang sighed.
Hearing this, Ji Xiuran fell silent.
"Why bother?"
After a while, Haitang looked at Ji Xiuran. "You should understand Worriless better than I do, right?"
"And then?" Ji Xiuran asked.
"Back then, when you were diagnosed with a terminal illness by Grandmaster Li … you deliberately distanced yourself from Wuyou. You loved her so much and regarded her as your life. Why didn't you tell her the truth? Why did you have to break her heart and make her stay away from you?" Haitang said.
"Worriless …" Ji Xiuran fell into deep thought and said, "I only see her as a younger sister."
"Sister?" Haitang shook her head. "Have you started to deceive even yourself?"
Hearing this, Ji Xiuran smiled faintly and sank into silence.
"You knew you didn't have much longer to live, so you deliberately distanced yourself from her and made her stay away from you. Do you think I don't know? You didn't want her to suffer, so you chose to endure it yourself. And last time, you and Lord Asura were at loggerheads at the Shen residence.
