Shangguan You spoke faintly, her tone tinged with loss, even sadness.
"What does ’a few months’ an?" Shangguan Hao’s voice no longer held its previous steadiness, now tinged with a hint of urgency.
"If there’s no way to wake Mommy up within this period, she will never wake up again. Even that last thread of life will be severed," Shangguan You said with so difficulty. These were the facts, and she was no longer hiding them from Daddy.
A heavy pressure filled the living room. After Shangguan You’s words, the room fell silent; no one spoke. Shangguan Hao’s gaze drifted, as if lost in thought.
Liu Ruoling looked sorrowfully at the two Lin ngjies, glancing back and forth between them, as if trying to discern which one was the real Lin ngjie and which was rely soone who looked identical.
"Daddy, Ye Dashao once said that Mommy is the Guardian of this realm. He discovered the Shen Family’s secret chamber, and that’s where he first t Mommy. Do you think there could be two Lin ngjies? The Lin ngjie from the Lin Family is the one sleeping in the Crystal Coffin, and my real Mommy might have taken over Lin ngjie’s identity to marry you?" Shangguan You unleashed her imagination, pondering how Guardian Lin ngjie might have sought out Ye Dashao.
By chance, she found she bore an uncanny resemblance to Lin ngjie. So, she left the real Lin ngjie sleeping in her rightful place, assuming her identity to simultaneously marry Shangguan Hao and search for Ye Dashao’s whereabouts. Later, she encountered Zhuge Feng. Once Ye Dashao discovered her movents, Li Wanying caused chaos. This led her to witness a scene between Shangguan Hao and Li Wanying, prompting her definite departure. After giving birth to , Ye Dashao suddenly attacked, and she fell into a coma. The subsequent events were all managed by Zhuge Feng. A fake Lin ngjie appeared after that. Consequently, the relationship between the Lin and Shangguan Families officially soured, even leading to a complete and permanent estrangent. This was also Zhuge Feng’s way of covertly protecting Lin ngjie. He didn’t want the Lin Family to find out about her coma, so one lie followed another. That would explain all subsequent events clearly.
Not only did Shangguan You think this way, but almost everyone in the Shangguan Family did too. But were the facts truly as they imagined? It seed the riddle could only be solved once Lin ngjie woke up.
Which Lin ngjie was real and which was fake, who was the Guardian and who was the Young Miss of the Lin Family—they couldn’t tell.
"Girl, do you think they could be the sa person?" Shangguan Zhi couldn’t help but step forward, peering at the two Lin ngjies.
"Grandfather, I don’t know either," Shangguan You shook her head. Waving her hands, a Jewel Fruit appeared. She gently placed it on the Lin ngjie enshrouded in Spiritual Energy. Everyone’s vision blurred for a mont, and then another identical Jewel Fruit appeared in the hands of the Lin ngjie inside the Crystal Coffin. She had tried this before; whenever one Lin ngjie received an item in her hand, the sa item would appear in the other’s hand.
"Girl, is that light purple layer around her body Spiritual Energy?" Shangguan Yu asked with a puzzled look as he observed the dense Spiritual Energy.
"Yes, Uncle Feng sustained Mommy’s life force with an ice bed and his own Spiritual Energy. I moved Mommy into my space, where I am preserving her life force with Spiritual Energy and dicinal Pills," Shangguan You nodded.
"Girl, disperse this layer of Spiritual Energy."
"Grandfather, if this layer of Spiritual Energy didn’t nourish Mommy’s body, she would die," Shangguan You’s eyebrows furrowed. She disagreed with Shangguan Zhi’s approach. No matter which one was Lin ngjie, real or fake, she had promised Zhuge Feng that she would revive Mommy. Even if she couldn’t wake her up, she would return Mommy to Zhuge Feng exactly as she was.
Once this layer of Spiritual Energy was gone, Lin ngjie’s life would truly enter its final countdown.
"Girl, is there any way to wake up ngjie?" Liu Ruoling took a few steps forward and looked at Lin ngjie in midair. Tonight, she felt like she was dreaming. Everything that happened was so surreal.
Shangguan You shook her head. If she had a way, Mommy wouldn’t be lying here; she would have woken up long ago.
"Unless we find the immortal blood ntioned in legends and refine a Resurrection Pill from it, there might be a glimr of hope. But immortal blood? Where could we ever find that? It’s rely a thing of legends. No one in the world has ever seen it. Not even the people of Hidden World Village know where to find an immortal," Shangguan You spoke with a sense of loss, her heart aching inexplicably for Shangguan Hao as she saw his crestfallen expression.
"Daddy, although there’s no way to find it right now, Mommy and her counterpart are safe in my space. As long as they stay there, they will live forever."
"Can only you enter your space? Then why can they go in?" Shangguan Qing asked, sowhat puzzled.
"Brother Qing, actually, anything living cannot enter, but everything else can," Shangguan You explained softly. Anything without life, whether person or object, can enter. The two Lin ngjies are currently in a half-dead state, so naturally, they can enter my space. Besides, my space might have been left by Lin ngjie herself. However, the dicine King Cauldron doesn’t recognize Lin ngjie. This invalidates the theory that Lin ngjie was the original owner of the space once again.
"Girl, have you ever tried putting the two together?" Shangguan Zhi’s sharp eyes flashed as he spoke quickly.
"No," Shangguan You shook her head; she had indeed never tried it. Though she sotis exchanged their sleeping positions, she had never actually laid them side by side.
"Girl, try it. Temporarily remove the Spiritual Energy from them and let them lie together. Let’s see what happens," Shangguan Zhi said calmly.
"Grandfather, do you an these two were originally one person?" Shangguan Qing asked, sowhat astonished. "But could that be possible?"
"I’m just speculating. Since she is our Guardian here, her abilities can’t be so limited. If she could repel countless strong enemies, then this should be a trivial matter for her," Shangguan Zhi said. His age spoke for itself. Having accompanied Shangguan Zeming, he had heard many things. However, his own talents lay elsewhere. Lacking the gift for cultivation, he had chosen to go into politics.
