Chapter 409: Chapter 399: The Power of One Man and a Group of Women

Arriving in the inner hall, Yang Jingxiu watched a crowd that was gathering and couldn’t help but slightly twitch his face.

He had imagined that they would have selected a reliable doctor to secretly discuss matters of the Divine Sword, with at most two or three doctors conferring together. He hadn’t expected to ultimately face a scene of a large group eating melons.

But Yang Jingxiu wasn’t too bothered by it, as these people were actually all trustworthy individuals. Families like the Cui Family and Wang Family had inevitably faced similar issues, yet previously everyone was reluctant to speak about it. Now, it seemed there was no longer anything to hide.

Both Tang Wanzhuang and Imperial Concubine Huangfu, one as the head of the Demon Suppression Department and the other an imperial concubine, likely knew what the Emperor had done better than anyone else and had nothing to hide. Logically, they would be expected to try and stop the revival of the Divine Sword, but that was fine. In the presence of everyone, they couldn’t openly intervene.

At this point, Yang Jingxiu had obviously deviated in his thinking. The two actually didn’t know beforehand and still weren’t planning to intervene.

If previously Tang Wanzhuang would have agreed to the policy of suppressing the aristocratic families, times had changed. Now that it was a time to maintain the chaotic order and vie for power, the decision was clear.

No longer secretive, Yang Jingxiu openly said, "Everyone here is knowledgeable, and speaking deceptively among you would only invite ridicule. The truth is that the Sword Spirit of the Lianshan Sword has encountered a complication. After years of analysis, we believe it might be feasible to use methods meant for treating human Divine Souls on the Sword Spirit. The rationale could very well be similar. Thus, we have collected many soul-healing medicines, supported by our own medical knowledge, and indeed the Sword Spirit has shown some response, which proves this approach is correct."

Wang Daozhong said, "Brother Yang indeed has a plan; using the methods for treating humans on swords is something we truly haven’t thought of before."

Yang Jingxiu continued, "But has the Wang Family resolved the issue with the Sea Suppressing Sword?"

Wang Daozhong gave a slight smile and did not respond.

Yang Jingxiu did not press further, continuing, "Unfortunately, our medical skills are not yet perfect. We can only slightly make the Sword Spirit react. We have no clues on how to make further progress... If we talk about starting to train a famous doctor, it would take a long time. Well..."

He glanced at Zhao Changhe, hesitated for a long time, then continued, "It happens to be my birthday, so I used the celebration to invite famous doctors widely, to see if there are any effective solutions. Now that both Dr. Cai and Dr. Lu, along with Mr. Zhao, have noticed the issue and each proposed beneficial insights, it’s better to be open and aim to discuss a truly feasible plan."

Wang Daozhong signaled to his accompanying Dr. Lu with his eyes. Dr. Lu then snorted coldly, "What insights could Mr. Zhao have? He merely guessed based on what he knew beforehand from the Cui Family about the Sword Spirit. I don’t believe he could elaborate even a bit on the medical theory. Let’s see what he can actually articulate?"

Wang Daozhong genuinely didn’t want Zhao Changhe to try treating it himself. This miraculous young man always managed to achieve incomprehensible feats, and now it could be said that no one in the world overestimated Zhao Changhe more than he did. He truly feared that Zhao Changhe would resolve the issue at once, leaving no room for his own arrangements. He had to preempt.

As long as he established the matter first, Zhao Changhe could just watch from the sidelines.

Zhao Changhe guessed Wang Daozhong’s intention and smiled slightly, "I originally didn’t have much confidence, just some ideas... I was planning to sit outside and listen to everyone’s discussion for my own reference. After all, for the sake of treatment, many minds generate great ideas. Perhaps, I might be able to contribute something useful. But I didn’t know which old lady would force me into the limelight and then stop everyone from opening up and discussing. I wonder if she’s here to treat the disease or target me. Old Wang, you couldn’t possibly be fond of me, right? It’s almost like a tsundere girl trying to catch a man’s attention."

Wang Daozhong: "..."

Cui Yuanyang playfully grabbed Zhao Changhe’s hand, whispering, "So, Brother Zhao likes to draw attention like this? Then next time..."

"You mustn’t." Zhao Changhe tugged at her cheeks, pulling them apart, "You just stick to being adorable."

Cui Yuanyang paused, smiled, and glanced at Tang Wanju, then remained silent.

Tang Wanju sighed inwardly. This girl was not content with being just a mascot... but actually, Zhao Changhe didn’t need anything else. He truly just wanted her to remain cute and adorable forever...

Although there was some misalignment in their thoughts, both sides were actually fine, each enamored by the other’s actions.

While the young men and women flirted and played coy, Yang Jingxiu didn’t care to manage them that much, seeing as Zhao Changhe seemingly felt inadequate, he then suggested to Dr. Lu, "Then shall Dr. Lu take a look at the sword first?"

"Whoosh!"

The ancient and hefty Lianshan Sword lay across the hall; even without any sentient spirit.
