Second sister is only two years older than Chu Feng; her reason for undergoing seclusion and cultivation this time was largely to change the current situation of the Sword King Mansion.
Senior brother and second sister both want to support the sky and protect Chu Feng, which makes him feel especially warmed in his heart.
After being betrayed by Chang’e, he no longer easily trusts anyone.
But his trust in senior brother, second sister, and sister-in-law is unconditional. Perhaps it’s due to familial blood ties, but Chu Feng believes it’s more about their selfless devotion to him as their younger brother.
"Go inside! Young master and Miss are both inside!" Jian Lan said coldly.
She had no intention of entering the room, but instead stayed outside.
It’s likely to prevent Chief Luo and others from coming to spy and gather information.
After Chu Feng pushed the door open and entered, he immediately saw two faces filled with worry. There was also a beautiful woman lying on the bed, with her eyes closed tightly and her face pale and bloodless.
The girl on the bed was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with delicate features, fair and radiant skin, and eyebrows like paintings. She was absolutely a rare beauty.
Yet at this moment, even in her deep sleep, her brows were still tightly furrowed, showing a hint of pain on her pretty face.
"Brother, sister-in-law!" Chu Feng closed the door and greeted his siblings.
He could tell at a glance that the girl’s condition was very bad.
"Little brother, your second sister had an accident..." The iron-like man, senior brother, who had never shed a tear despite being humiliated and oppressed in the outside world, now had a choking voice and tears appeared in his eyes.
The sister-in-law kept wiping her tears, her eyes already somewhat swollen. It seemed she had cried many times already.
"What exactly happened? Wasn’t second sister in seclusion for cultivation? Why did she suddenly have an accident?" Chu Feng walked up to the bed, knelt down, and naturally took the girl’s hand into his own.
His fingers touched her pulse.
Quietly examining her condition.
The sister-in-law took a deep breath and choked, "I was just coming to bring food, and as soon as I entered the room, I found the second sister had collapsed outside the secret chamber. She hadn’t yet lost consciousness at that time."
"She only said sorry, that she had done her best, could no longer protect her little brother, nor change the fate of the Sword King Mansion! Then she passed out!"
Chu Feng’s heart ached.
With his experience, he could imagine the scene at that time. Second sister, before falling into unconsciousness, still thought of protecting him, which was a great act of love.
The deep affection and care from sister to brother were enough to make anyone cry.
"Your second sister must have been too eager in her cultivation, causing a revolt in the sword meridians, intertwining with each other. Eventually leading to uncontrolled Sword Qi, injuring her body, and falling into a coma..."
The senior brother said in immense pain.
At this point, Chu Feng had already understood second sister’s condition—it was very bad.
It was not merely a case of chaotic sword meridians and uncontrolled Sword Qi. Several of her Heart Meridians had also been severed, and if not rescued in time, her life was at risk.
For the already crumbling Sword King Mansion, the second sister’s accident was a heavy blow.
It was adding frost to snow.
"This injury cannot be delayed; we must rescue her immediately!" Chu Feng was well aware of the direness of second sister’s condition.
And the illness was very tricky to treat.
To reconnect a severed Heart Meridian is already very difficult, but with Chu Feng, the Eternal Life Pill Master present, reconnecting the severed Heart Meridian is not a big problem.
However, the chaos of the sword meridians within second sister’s body and the rampant, ferocious Sword Qi,
Even if the Heart Meridians were successfully reconnected, they could easily be ruptured again.
Chu Feng furrowed his brow and pondered the solution. It seemed crucial to proceed with a dual approach, reconnecting the Heart Meridians while finding a way to suppress the Sword Qi inside second sister’s body.
There are numerous treasures capable of Suppressing Sword Qi.
If it were during the thriving era of Sword King Mansion, perhaps one or two could be found.
Now, don’t even think about it.
"Senior brother, sister-in-law, now is not the time to be heartbroken! I have also learned some skills at the Alchemy Academy."
"The situation of our second sister is extremely perilous, we must provide aid quickly. I can ask for an Elixir from the teachers at the academy. However, the Sword Qi raging inside her body is severe, and she remains unconscious, so we must use a treasure to suppress it."
"Do you have any means to borrow one?"
Chu Feng’s sister-in-law is no small figure—she is the Lady from the noble Qiao Family.
Even at its peak, Sword King Mansion could barely be compared to the Qiao Family. At that time, the Qiao Family saw the limitless prospects and glorious military achievements of Sword King Mansion, which would surely earn the Emperor’s great rewards.
Only then did they agree to Miss Qiao’s marriage to the eldest brother.
Who would have known that in the blink of an eye, things would change drastically.
After the rapid decline of Sword King Mansion, the Qiao Family wanted to annul the marriage. However, Miss Qiao obstinately refused, and even cut off ties with the Qiao Family for a time.
The elder brother and sister-in-law both looked at Chu Feng with a surprised and relieved expression. They were impressed by Chu Feng’s outstanding performance.
"My maternal home has an Ink stone that can suppress Sword Qi, I’ll go borrow it right away!" The sister-in-law expressed her solution without any hesitation.
"Yue’er, you have bad relations with your family; going back to borrow the Ink stone, they might take the opportunity to humiliate you!" The elder brother said somewhat worriedly. In fact, he was more worried that the Qiao Family might imprison Miss Qiao again like last time.
"Jian Lan, don’t worry! I will be back soon!" Miss Qiao displayed a gentle and affectionate smile, immediately walking outside.
"It’s all my fault... not to mention treasures that suppress Sword Qi, there’s no one willing to even lend us money!" The elder brother said with a face full of pain and self-blame.
Over the past few years, as Sword King Mansion’s situation worsened, there were a few instances when the Prince Manor was really out of money. The elder brother could only shamelessly go and borrow money.
But not only did he fail to borrow money, but he was also humiliated to the point of being completely distraught.
"Don’t talk like that, my husband is the best man in the world..." The sister-in-law hurriedly turned around to comfort the elder brother, who was crouching on the ground, painfully clutching at his hair.
Seeing his sweet and loving brother and sister-in-law, Chu Feng felt envious in his heart.
If only one day, he could meet a virtuous woman like his sister-in-law.
Thinking of Chang’e who betrayed him, his heart ached deeply, it was particularly unpleasant. Truly, comparisons between people should not be made.
Just then, the sound of an argument arose from outside the door.
"Chief Luo, you cannot enter!" That was Little Lan’s voice.
"Move aside, I must see the Eldest Prince immediately, I have important matters to report!" Chief Luo said, leading his men and forcefully barging through. You could even hear the sounds of a scuffle.
But with Little Lan alone, she definitely couldn’t stop Chief Luo and a group of Evil Slaves.
The door was violently kicked open, and the cunning-faced Chief Luo swept his gaze, immediately landing on the beautiful face of the girl on the bed.
"Who let you in?" Jian Lan jumped to her feet, her entire being radiating immense Killing Intent, glaring intensely at Chief Luo. In the past, no matter how presumptuous Chief Luo was, the elder brother could tolerate it.
Because dealing with Chief Luo meant pushing Sword King Mansion towards doom.
For the sake of his brother and sister, the elder brother could always compromise and act like a tortoise.
But now, with his sister in trouble and his younger brother’s fire poison often acting up, potentially fatal, he saw no hope at all.
And so, his thoughts became extreme.
The long-term repression and endurance finally began to erupt.
