Perfect Secret Love novel Chapter 2089

"Master Li, Xiuran's body..."

The leader of Heavenly Owl, Haitang, looked at the white-haired elderly man who was conducting an examination on the man.

"There isn't any medical equipment here, so I'm unable to examine him in detail, but my preliminary calculation is that he probably only has a few months at most," Master Li replied with a shake of his head and a sigh.

"This..." Haitang stared at Ji Xiuran, unable to imagine that this man was about to pass from this world.

"It's fine." A placid smile spread across the man's pale face. "I've gained enough already."

"Truthfully, you should know, Haitang, that Emperor Ji's situation is considered a miracle already." Master Li shook his head.

"Back then, it was me who diagnosed Emperor Ji's terminal illness and judged that he would only have two to three years left at most. The fact that Emperor Ji was able to prolong his life until today and survive relied entirely on unimaginable willpower. The price for this willpower was that he had to endure unimaginable pain every single day," Master Li lamented.

"Heh, I didn't expect you to have entered this place with Haitang, Master Li," Ji Xiuran remarked.

"That day, Master Li was enjoying some tea with me, so he encountered this undeserved calamity. I feel rather apologetic." Haitang turned to Master Li.

"What are you saying, Haitang? Whether I'm captured or not would make no difference to me. How much longer can a bag of old bones like me possibly dwell on this earth? I'll eventually turn into a skeleton, so I don't mind," Master Li responded.

"Master Li... Is Xiuran's illness incurable?" Haitang asked with a frown.

Master Li was silent for a moment before shaking his head. "To Emperor Ji right now, every day might be painful, right?"

"It's bearable. Don't worry," Ji Xiuran assured Haitang with a light chuckle.

"Emperor Ji, Haitang, I'm going to go out first to examine the conditions here."
