Inside the room.
Cheng Yao looked helplessly at Wang Xingwei, who lay unconscious on the bed.
The rumors circulating through the city lately, together with the Meng Family's Foundation Establishment cultivator coming to her door and bringing all sorts of physicians to treat Wang Xingwei in an attempt to wake him, painted a clear picture.
