Chapter 1874 - 1467: Shi Wujue Collapses, Life Exhausted

The ferocity of Ta You made Gu Changsheng’s heart uneasy.

In Gu Changsheng’s understanding, Little Monk Bu Jie was already an existence akin to having cheats. If Little Monk Bu Jie was an existence akin to having cheats, then the master of the Star Innate Tower, Ta You, was absolutely like an NPC, a complete BUG!

As Gu Changsheng hesitated, Shi Wujue turned around and stepped over the corpses of the Blood Rabbit, walking over.

Gu Changsheng looked at Shi Wujue, seemingly unfazed, with a slightly confused expression and blinked her innocent big eyes, deciding to voice the confusion in her heart, "Um... don’t you have anything to say?"

The words Ta You said to Shi Wujue, what did they mean?

Those words, which neither she nor her evildoer could grasp, what hidden meanings lay within them?

Gu Changsheng found herself in a fog, and after witnessing Shi Wujue’s earlier madness, suddenly felt that the Shi Wujue before her was somewhat unfamiliar!

He was not the rampant, face always adorned with sinister smiles, Shi Wujue she knew. Unexpectedly, Gu Changsheng felt that at this moment, Shi Wujue seemed somewhat...

Somewhat...

Somewhat desolate!

Even Gu Changsheng didn’t know how this feeling came about, yet the feeling was exceedingly clear!

Within that desolation, it seemed there was a hint of bleak helplessness, like Ta You’s voice, evoking a deep-seated emotion.

This version of Shi Wujue made Gu Changsheng feel unfamiliar.

The Shi Wujue she knew was always indifferent to everything, always with an imperious smile, not this man standing before her...

Though his white hair remained unchanged, his countenance remained unchanged...

Yet, unfamiliarity is sometimes just a fleeting sensation...

Shi Wujue raised his head, his eyes slightly desolate, looking at Gu Changsheng, and from the depths of her eyes, he caught a trace of unfamiliarity and distance...

Heart, inexplicably, ached!

When Ta You said he was obsession, was foolishness, all he felt was anger, but upon seeing Gu Changsheng’s distant, unfamiliar eyes, Shi Wujue suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart!

Yet, what does this really count for?

How much of him does she really know? How much does she truly understand?

If, when everything comes to light, her gaze can still be so unfamiliar and distant, to Shi Wujue, perhaps it might be a kind of happiness!

Inexplicably, Shi Wujue suddenly felt so tired, an unprecedented exhaustion, making him suddenly feel that his body could no longer bear the weight...

"Boom!"

Just as Gu Changsheng looked at Shi Wujue with a scrutinizing expression, a sharp sound rang out.

Gu Changsheng, with a look of shock on her face, suddenly shouted and rushed forward, watching the white-haired man crash to the ground in front of her, "Shi Wujue!"

"Shi Wujue!"

Almost simultaneously, Zhou Mu also rushed forward.

Two arms, at the same time, caught Shi Wujue’s head before it could hit the ground.

Looking at the pale-faced Shi Wujue, who was as pale as his snow-white hair, and his tightly closed eyes, Gu Changsheng suddenly felt her eyes turning warm!

"It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have asked! Evildoer, what’s wrong with him?" Unable to hide her worry, annoyance and regret filled Gu Changsheng, she had already forgotten she was a doctor, and asked the man beside her in a daze.

No matter when, she’s still used to depending on this man.

"You’re the doctor, quickly check him!" Zhou Mu’s voice of reminder came in the next moment, and at the same time, his slender hand placed Shi Wujue’s wrist into Gu Changsheng’s hand.

Concern causes confusion.

Zhou Mu knew that in Gu Changsheng’s heart, Shi Wujue held no less weight than anyone around her.

Moreover, Shi Wujue is worthy of her wholehearted treatment...

Zhou Mu’s mood at this moment is very complicated, but looking at Shi Wujue, who lay with closed eyes in his arms, he suddenly doesn’t know what to say...

Shi Wujue’s sudden collapse left Yuan Bao and Qiwowen Du in disarray instantly, running for water, coming over to help, but not knowing how they could assist!

"No problem! The pulse is fine!" Gu Changsheng almost instantly made the diagnosis.

As before, Shi Wujue’s pulse showed no issues whatsoever!

However, his complexion was so pale, as though ever since entering Linyuan City and since they first met, his complexion had never been normal, always weakly pale, as if a gust of wind could knock him down. Yet, no matter how Gu Changsheng examined the pulse, it yielded nothing!

Anxiously checking Shi Wujue’s body, Gu Changsheng’s Phoenix Eyes were filled with urgent worry, "No problems, none at all. He has no issues whatsoever, yet how did he end up like this?"

Pincering the philtrum doesn’t wake him up, no matter how much it’s done, even if Gu Changsheng tells Yuan Bao to gather herbs, not knowing the ailment, Gu Changsheng can’t prescribe medicine.

This is the first time, the first time Gu Changsheng begins to doubt her own medical skills!

She’s revered as the Divine Doctor, and the people address her as such, but at this moment, facing Shi Wujue who lies unresponsive with closed eyes, Gu Changsheng finds herself at a loss!

All she can do is stare helplessly, with not a single plan!

"What do we do? Evildoer, what do we do? I can’t save him, I can’t help him, what in the world is wrong with him?" Gu Changsheng panicked, unable to remember how long it has been since she’s felt this kind of panic.

Was it back in Linyuan City, upon hearing the news of her father’s death?

That feeling of impending loss surged through Gu Changsheng’s entire being once more!

"Don’t worry, let’s take him aside to rest for a while, maybe he’s just too tired." Zhou Mu looked at Gu Changsheng who seemed like an anthill in a mess, his face akin to a Divine Residence grew serious, reaching out to lift Shi Wujue up, only at this moment discovering the startling lightness of the person in his arms...

Shi Wujue’s height, matched his own...

Yet this weight...

Shi Wujue’s body must have a problem, but why can’t even Changsheng find an answer?

In that instant, Zhou Mu’s heart was filled with worry.

But looking at the anxiously concerned Gu Changsheng by his side, he ultimately did not voice his questions, everything could only await Shi Wujue’s waking to reveal a resolution.

"I shouldn’t have asked, everyone has secrets they don’t want others to know, I shouldn’t have questioned him, shouldn’t have looked at him with such suspicion, it’s all my fault, all my fault!" Gu Changsheng looked at Shi Wujue lying on the ground, seemingly devoid of life, tears instinctively falling.

Gu Changsheng never was one accustomed to shedding tears, because, deep down, crying could only signify weakness. But, in this moment, she suddenly felt so sad, so inclined to cry!

Before leaving Licheng City heading towards Linyuan City, Little Monk Bu Jie had told her she’d meet the most emotionally entwined person in her life. Gu Changsheng originally didn’t believe it, but in this moment, she suddenly believed!

No matter what ending would befall the three of them, Gu Changsheng couldn’t deny she regarded Shi Wujue as family, and seeing him like this squeezed her heart tight!

"I’m sorry! I’m sorry, it’s all my fault! It’s all my fault..." Gu Changsheng wasn’t someone who liked to regret, because no one understood better than her, regret can’t change anything, but at this moment, she truly regretted!

Shi Wujue treated her so well, sustaining life for her, sacrificing the Supreme Treasure for Zhou Mu, nearly performing every act a man could for a woman. She couldn’t reciprocate his feelings, couldn’t return his sacrifices, yet he always seemed willing, without complaint or regret...

Yet she, contentedly accepted everything he offered, never thinking of the future, subconsciously rejecting the thought of the future...

"Shi Wujue, I’m sorry..." In this world, Gu Changsheng is the least qualified person to doubt Shi Wujue, without exception!

"Don’t regret, don’t be sad, he will wake up, he definitely wouldn’t want to see you like this, come, sit over there, I will take care of him." Zhou Mu lifted his hand, touching his self-reproaching little woman, his voice hoarse.

"Will he really wake up? He..." Shi Wujue’s tightly closed eyes showed no hint of wanting to open, Gu Changsheng’s tears continued to fall, her expression caught in a daze, "Although I can’t detect any abnormal pulse, evildoer, I can’t feel his aura or life force..."

Speaking to this, Gu Changsheng raised her hand anxiously, clutching Zhou Mu’s sleeve, full of panic, "Evildoer, do you know that feeling? I have experienced that feeling before, that feeling of losing all life! Why is it like this? How did he become like this? Is it because of that time, when he extended my life, that he ended up like this? He was originally fine, when we first met him, he was still energetically reprimanding Fufeng Tianlan! But once I saw him again, his black hair had turned white..."

"Evildoer, is it because of me? It must be because of me, right? All that talk about wasting away among flowers—it’s all an excuse, all just to reassure us, isn’t it?" Gu Changsheng’s eyes showed signs of madness, flooded with tears, shaking her head as she continued, "It must be because of me, entirely because of me! He deceived me, not wanting me to feel guilty or self-reproach, it’s all a disguise! I knew it, where in this world is there such good fortune, me going against the heavens, summoning the Red Lotus Karma Fire, exhausting life force, destined to die, yet he saved me, at the cost of ending up like this! It’s all me! It’s all me..."

Gu Changsheng pondered, what merit or virtue does she possess to deserve a man sacrificing so much for her?

Is it a life exchanged for a life?

This truly is the reality of Shi Wujue saving her, isn’t it? Otherwise, how could that girl who was sentenced to death risk her life to rush to Shi Wujue’s defense claiming it’s unworthy?
