Chapter 191: He Li’s Hidden Worries
"How was the Marshal?" Ji Wen asked Cheng Yu with a worried face. They are both staring at the Marshal who unexpectedly fainted earlier and is now laying on the hospital bed here in their private hospital.
"You don’t have to worry about him. He just needs a rest and he’ll be alright." Cheng Yu answered. However, even if Ji Wen wanted to sigh in relief, he couldn’t help but worry again when his eyes fell on the young man on the other bed.
Qin An is also laying unconscious and they are actually more worried about his situation than the Marshal. They didn’t know what happened under the sea. Cheng Yu had already inspected his body but as expected, they couldn’t see any problem inside his body. His ntal power also remained error and they didn’t know what to do.
For now, they can only wait for him to wake up.
"Is Shen Lou not planning to take a rest?" Cheng Yu’s questions awaken him from reverie. Shen Lou? Speaking of this young man, Shen Lou insisted on going here with them and didn’t want to leave Qin An’s side. Right now, he was just standing outside the room and sitting quietly. Even if they advised him to take a rest, he insisted on waiting for Qin An.
It was actually a bit unexpected.
They had never seen a young man like this except for He Yan of course.
It seems that their friendship is way deeper than they expected knowing that they’ve only t each other for a short ti.
Ji Wen could only shake his head a bit, feeling also helpless about the young man’s stubbornness.
"Tell him to et in another room. He and Captain Su need to be checked. They were both stimulated earlier and it’s best to check the state of their ntal power."
Fortunately, the young man agreed after he finally used so ans to threaten him that if he won’t be checked, he will tell the Old Shen about his condition.
Coincidentally, He Li also wakes up.
The man held his forehead and asked about his condition.
"You’re alright, but for Qin An, I really couldn’t say about his recent condition." Cheng Yu answered. He Li didn’t respond but he turned his head to the young man on the other side of the bed.
"Marshal, what happened below?" Cheng Yu couldn’t resist his curiosity after a second thought. As soone who works with the old researchers, he knew that the influence of Qin An was very huge for the future of the federation.
They knew that the situation below earlier was very crucial for the effect of the ntal pollution of everyone. If Qin An succeeds in defeating whatever monster under the sea, that might help them greatly.
But they also must look for sothing to help him.
They have to.
Who would want to stay put and let such a young man fight for them? It was supposed to be their job, not just for Qin An even if he is the only grim reaper in their world.
He Li didn’t speak. His eyes remained to the unconscious young man and the expression on his face seed to be thinking sothing deep.
"Marshal, is there sothing wrong?" Cheng Yu finally noticed the strange expression on the man’s face. It was different from the usual just observing soone.
Instead, he could feel a slight scrutiny, doubt... and sothing that he couldn’t na.
After a mont of silence, He Li suddenly stood up and walked towards the young man with his eyes never leaving him.
While Cheng Yu remained confused by his action, He Li’s mind is actually not calm as what he expresses on the surface.
What was on his mind right now is sothing that he couldn’t understand.
This was not the first ti that He Li felt that the young man was extrely familiar to him.
Although he swore to himself that he had never seen him, the familiarity that always stocked him whenever they t was sothing that stayed inside him.
He Li had always wondered the reason for this feeling.
And earlier when he fainted, he dread again.
It was dark on the surroundings but he could feel himself inside a small room with nothing inside other than him.
He was leaning and sitting on the cold ground, but that’s what did not catch his attention.
Rather, his eyes looked down and he saw both of his wrists were tied with a silver chain. The cold sensation from the tal brushed on his skin and even with just this on him, he had already concluded that he was imprisoned.
His eyes road around the small room but couldn’t see anything that could make him understand why he was in this place.
It was only the deafening silence that accompanied him for the next minutes that passed until finally, He Li heard a sound.
He could hear the small sounds of footsteps coming towards him. Soone is coming.
This made him quickly alerted and looked around. There was no passage where he could see if anyone ca.
He Li just remained tightly guarded until to his surprise, the thick wall in front of him slowly changed into iron bars. This not only proved to him that he is really inside a prison room but also ans that that unknown soone is closer to him.
He Li first saw the black robe of soone. He raises his head but couldn’t see that soone’s face because of the wide brimd hat that he was wearing other than the fact that it was a young man.
The young man stopped in front of him and silence engulfed them again.
He Li wanted to speak but before he could say sothing, the young man in black raised his hand towards his back as if he was pulling sothing.
And in the next second, He Li saw the familiar looking ancient sword that made his heart skip a beat.
"!!!"
The golden runes around that thin long sword are sothing that He Li knew.
That was the sword that Qin An owns.
That was the last thing that happened inside his dream before he woke up.
Now, He Li is standing in front of Qin An and wondered if the young man in black was Qin An. Their physique was even sowhat the sa as he rembered.
However, if it was really him... then what about himself?
Why was he in that place and was even a prisoner?
What was that dream all about?
He Li suddenly wanted to wake him and asked his questions but he knew that for now, it was not the important thing they had to think about.
He Li turned his head to Cheng Yu and ordered him.
"Bring him close to the old peach blossom tree."
"!!!" Cheng Yu’s eyes widened at the sudden decision that he heard.
"M-Marshal?" Cheng Yu was extrely baffled.
The old peach blossom tree? That was the only thing that connected them to make the inhibitors for dicine. The one thing that had saved the whole federation until now. It was even too tightly guarded that no one dares to stay close in fear of damaging anything about the three.
Even the enemies of their federation knew that this was the only thing they must never cross. The sole lifeline of everyone.
"Bring him there." He Li’s voce sounds firm and serious. "That’s the only place that could possibly save him."
Cheng Yu exhales a deep breath before finally nodding. He trusts the Marshal’s decision anyway. Since this is his choice, he will oblige.
It’s just that bringing Qin An there would definitely attract everyone’s eyes on them. And maybe it will not just be the people above but also the lurking enemies around them.
***
As expected, bringing the young man near the tree imdiately alerted so people including He Li’s family and the current President of the Federation, Xi Qianchen.
"He Li," He Zhen, He Li’s father called him with his full na to emphasize the grave situation he decided. Even the Old He Patriarch and his mother Hou Nian also ca to the place.
"Grandpa, father, mother," He Li greeted them.
"A’Li, did you consider the possible consequences before you decided on this?" Even though Hou Nian knew that his son was never the person who won’t think logically before acting, she still couldn’t help but confirm it personally.
And as expected, He Li nodded at them.
"Why did you bring him here?" He Shi, the Old He Patriarch asked him.
"I think this is the right ti to tell us everything, right?" He Zhen added.
He Li paused for a second before he nodded.
He turned to Cheng Yu and asked him to fully monitor Qin An’s status. Before he could lead his family to sowhere they could talk, they heard a voice sound behind them.
"Can I also hear it?"
They turned their heads and saw the current President Xi Qianchen looking at them with a smile on his face.
