Chapter 508: Chapter 479 Concern, Seeking Help, Response_1

After returning from Qi Daniu’s place, He Tiantian summoned the Snake King.

"Gurulu gurulu mi..." Her voice was a bit urgent, showing how anxious He Tiantian was.

The Snake King, who was cultivating, sensed He Tiantian’s anxiety and asked, "What’s the matter?"

"Snake King, Brother Yingjie is in trouble. Can you help him, please?" He Tiantian said with a choke, "I need to go to Yanjing, will you come with me, please?"

Upon hearing this, the Snake King hesitated for a moment.

For an instant, the Snake King actually felt a trace of pleasure, hoping that Huo Yingjie would run into trouble, or even disappear!

"Snake King, I beg you," He Tiantian pleaded, "Little Rotating Turtle is by his side, but he still got injured. It must be something very serious. If you don’t help me, I really don’t know who else can?"

Tears streamed down He Tiantian’s face. Ever since she found out Huo Yingjie was injured, she had been anxious, but she dared not show too much sadness in front of her parents, fearing they would worry.

Now, in front of the Snake King, He Tiantian could finally cry out loud.

Because He Tiantian knew that when she communicated with the Snake King, there was a barrier, and the outside world couldn’t understand her voice; she could release her emotions without any concerns!

Seeing He Tiantian’s tears, the Snake King lowered his head, suppressing the evil thoughts in his heart.

"Alright..." the Snake King said with difficulty, "I’ll help you!"

After he spoke, he went directly from the barrier behind the mountain to the barrier around He Tiantian’s ankle.

With the Snake King accompanying her, He Tiantian felt a bit relieved.

The omnipotent Snake King could surely solve all problems.

After He Jingyu made all the arrangements, they had lunch, and then each took a bicycle towards the county town.

All of He Tiantian’s large pack of luggage was on He Jingyu’s bicycle, along with a basket of peaches, and also He Jingyu’s luggage on top.

The father and daughter went straight to Niu Dajun, left their bicycles with him, and managed to get on the train without tickets, intending to pay the fare on board for a sleeper berth.

This train had to be changed at Nan City, but luckily they had acquaintances, and the process was handled quickly. They waited for half an hour and then there was a train from Nan City to Yanjing.

The journey was long, and they had purchased sleeper tickets.

Throughout the journey, He Tiantian was continuously worried about Huo Yingjie. The Snake King, in the barrier, could clearly sense He Tiantian’s emotions due to their blood connection.

Inside the barrier, the Snake King transformed into the shape of a young man, shaking his head with a bitter smile repeatedly.

During his Tribulation, the Snake King could feel He Tiantian’s care and worry, but it was just like the concern one would have for a friend or a family member.

But the current He Tiantian was visibly heartbroken and deeply concerned, a state of being distraught that comes with emotions for a loved one.

On the journey, because of Huo Yingjie’s injury, He Jingyu and He Tiantian had no mood to appreciate the scenery passing by on both sides of the train, only hoping to arrive in Yanjing as quickly as possible.

When they arrived in Yanjing, it was just nine o’clock in the morning the following day.

Prior to that, Niu Dajun had sent a telegram to Yanjing on behalf of He Jingyu. Huo Zhekun had estimated the time and sent someone to the train station to pick them up early.

When Huo Zhekun saw that He Jingyu had also come, he was touched.

"Brother He, Tiantian, you must be exhausted from the journey," Huo Zhekun said with feeling, "Don’t stand there, get in the car!"

"It’s not tiring, Uncle Huo. How is Brother Yingjie doing?" He Tiantian hurriedly asked, eager to know the situation of Huo Yingjie.

Huo Zhekun looked at the now-grown He Tiantian, a bit taller and even more beautiful, and said with a bitter smile, "There are too many people here, let’s talk in the car."

He Jingyu’s heart skipped a beat, feeling that something was amiss.

He Jingyu was an adult, and a man at that, so he could hold back the sorrow in his heart.

But He Tiantian couldn’t hold back any longer, tears streaming down her face.

Seeing this, Huo Zhekun spoke as he walked, "Tiantian, you shouldn’t worry too much!"

"Uncle Huo, just tell me directly, how is Brother Yingjie really?" He Tiantian sobbed uncontrollably, attracting the stares of people around, but she didn’t care at all now.

Seeing this, Huo Zhekun felt a pang of emotion in his heart; no wonder his son was so fixated on He Tiantian.

This good girl would be cherished by anyone who held her dear in their heart.

"Yingjie’s physical injuries have mostly healed, but he just won’t wake up from his coma. The only time there’s a reaction is when your name is mentioned," Huo Zhekun said, "So I sent a telegram to have you come over, hoping that it might help Yingjie wake up sooner."

"What?" He Tiantian was startled, "In a coma? How did that happen?"

"Who knows!" Huo Zhekun said, "Get in the car, the rest can’t be discussed in front of outsiders."

Once they were in the car, the driver started the engine and slowly drove away from the train station.

"An item fell near Yingjie. He was injured at that time, but not seriously. After treatment during this period, he’s healed. But he just won’t wake up, no matter what we try. It’s not very effective. Only when we mention your name does Yingjie move his fingers," Huo Zhekun said with a pained expression, "Tiantian, you must spend more time with Yingjie to help him wake up sooner."

Huo Zhekun didn’t want to discuss the secret base matter with He Tiantian, so he went straight to explaining how Huo Yingjie was injured.

"Uncle Huo, don’t worry, I will stay by Brother Yingjie’s side," He Tiantian nodded and hoped to get back to the hospital quickly.

Hearing Huo Zhekun’s words, He Jingyu felt conflicted.

Of course, it would be best if Huo Yingjie could wake up.

But... but if he doesn’t wake up, then... then what?

Will his daughter spend her lifetime guarding Huo Yingjie?

And how is that any different from being a widow?

But for now, the Huo family was facing a great crisis, and He Jingyu could only hide his worries and speak of them later.

Not to mention that the He family owed the Huo family many favors, just for the sake of his daughter’s affection for Huo Yingjie, they would not leave.

"Brother Huo, rest assured, Yingjie will be fine," He Jingyu comforted, which was also what he most hoped for in his heart.

Otherwise, his daughter would have to face another very cruel choice!

Time seemed to drag on forever, and after an indeterminate while, He Tiantian arrived at a very serene and beautifully landscaped hospital.

Getting out of the car, He Tiantian closely followed Huo Zhekun to the front of Huo Yingjie’s ward.

Inside the ward, not only were Old Master Huo and Old Madam Huo there, but also Huo Yingjun, just back from abroad, as well as Huo Yingqi.

The arrival of He Tiantian drew everyone’s attention to her.

Yet He Tiantian’s gaze landed on Huo Yingjie.

Jiang Lifang, upon seeing He Tiantian, didn’t even bother to greet her, but pulled her over and said, "Yingjie, Tiantian is here, please wake up quickly!"

Everyone was drawn to Jiang Lifang’s voice and gathered around Huo Yingjie’s bed.

Previously, it was only one of Yingjie’s fingers that moved, but now three of his fingers were moving.
