One can glimpse a hint of this from his haggard expression.
Although Ao Shu found it amusing in her heart, her expression remained very serious.
"Xue Gege’s current condition is steadily improving, but as to when he’ll wake up...."
"How is he?" Si Mingqi looked at Ao Shu with hope written all over his face.
Ao Shu shook her head, "To be honest, I don’t know either! Even my master says Xue Gege’s condition is exceptionally unique, as if he’s entered some profound realm, making it impossible for anyone to predict when he’ll wake up!"
Upon hearing this, Si Mingqi’s face showed disappointment.
The main reason he came was to find out when Xue An would wake up, so he could use this to quell the increasing dissatisfaction among his men.
Now, he found out nothing.
"What? Do you really hope for Xue Gege to wake up so much?"
"Of course!" Si Mingqi immediately nodded and then said with a look of respect, "Mr. Xue faced strong enemies, showed no retreat, and even defeated them. Such spirit is truly admirable, and I am no exception, so naturally I also...."
Ao Shu waved her hand, interrupting Si Mingqi’s words that followed.
"Alright, alright, no need to say these fake things in front of me. I know what you’re thinking. Don’t you just want Xue Gege to back you up? That’s not difficult. Just go back and tell your clan that although Xue Gege hasn’t woken up yet, you count as his subordinate. If anyone dares to act defiant...."
A gleam of ruthlessness flashed in Ao Shu’s eyes, "Naturally, someone will deal with them!"
This sentence sent a shiver through Si Mingqi, followed by an overwhelming joy, and he nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, yes, with your words, Lady Ao Shu, I feel much more at ease. I hope you can also put in a good word for me before Her Majesty the Empress. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now!"
Si Mingqi was very adept at reading people. Seeing Ao Shu’s state, he knew she didn’t like unnecessary chatter, so he immediately bowed respectfully and quietly left.
Watching his departing figure, Ao Shu pursed her lips, then strode through the defense line toward the center.
At this moment.
In the central area, An Yan was watching over Xue An’s closed-door place with reddened eyes.
She had been guarding here for the fifteenth day.
Fifteen days ago, An Yan finally broke out from the Magic Treasures Pavilion, wanting to see what happened to Xue An.
And this is what she saw.
She had lost count of how many times she had cried.
Honestly, she thought she could keep herself in control.
But when she truly walked out of the Magic Treasures Pavilion and saw Xue An shrouded in layers of glorious light, feeling the extremely weak aura from him, her tears just wouldn’t stop.
Actually, when she entered the Magic Treasures Pavilion, she faintly sensed that Xue An must have been injured.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked her to avoid with their two daughters.
Yet she never imagined the injury would be so severe.
And during his most painful time, she wasn’t by his side. Every time she thought about it, An Yan felt as if her heart was being sliced by a knife.
Fortunately, over the past ten days, Xue An’s aura seemed to be steadily increasing.
This suggested that his injuries had begun to heal.
This brought An Yan a slight sense of consolation.
Just then, Ao Shu arrived.
She immediately noticed An Yan had just cried, but smartly didn’t bring it up, instead cheerfully staying to chat with An Yan.
"Sister Yan, why do I feel like Xue Gege’s aura today is even stronger than yesterday!"
"Oh? Really?" An Yan exclaimed with delight.
For her now, nothing was more exciting than hearing good news about Xue An.
