Why Won't You Save Her?

Ren Jie wandered around the Primeval Forest within the Ren Family estate. The surroundings were filled with nothing but flowers and grasses, not any precious medicinal materials. There was nothing much to see, and after making a round, Ren Jie unknowingly arrived before the Wooden House.

The window was open. Since the Wooden House itself was not large, he could see all the furnishings inside at a glance.

Sixth Master Ren Tianzong sat beside the bed, staring at the person lying upon it as though he had completely detached himself from the world. A beautiful woman lay there as if asleep, her appearance so gentle that one felt close to her at first sight.

Ren Tianzong held the beautiful woman's hand. Although Ren Jie could not see through everything at a glance as clearly as he could Gao Ren's potions or the cultivation techniques practiced by Xiao Niao and Di Shu, he could vaguely see that Sixth Master Ren Tianzong was continuously using his own power to suppress the problems within the woman's body.

What truly shocked Ren Jie was that when he looked carefully at the beautiful woman lying on the wooden bed, he discovered in astonishment that whenever Ren Tianzong was not channeling power into her body, numerous runes, restrictions, and signs of poisoning emerged over her body.

"What are you doing? Why haven't you woken her up?" Ren Jie blurted out almost instinctively. Though he did not know who the person on the wooden bed was, he could guess that the man seated beside it was Sixth Master Ren Tianzong, and that this woman was certainly deeply connected to him. There was no memory of Ren Tianzong's sisters being married, otherwise he would have known whether this was Sixth Aunt. But one thing Ren Jie understood clearly: his realm was indeed very high now, but it was limited to below the Divine Power Realm.

Configuring potions alongside Gao Ren, helping the Guard Squad modify their cultivation techniques, or quickly learning and comprehending the Smiling Old Man's high-grade martial skill, Battle Eight Directions Annihilation—those were not problems. But when it came to matters that were too profound, there was nothing he could do.

Since he could see through it at a glance, the problem should not have been too severe. Yet this woman's complexion and signs of life both looked terrible. She was only being forcibly sustained by Sixth Master Ren Tianzong's power and certain other forces, which was why Ren Jie found it so strange.

"Ah... you..." Wan Hong had just gone inside to brew tea for Ren Jie and was now coming out from another room. He looked up and did not see Ren Jie, only to hear his voice at that very moment. When he discovered Ren Jie speaking before the window of another Wooden House, his heart nearly leaped out of his chest.

He wanted to speak but did not dare. His mind had gone blank.

He had only been inside for such a short time. How had Ren Jie run over here? It was over, it was over. Sixth Master hated being disturbed at a time like this, and besides...

Boom! Just as Ren Jie spoke those words, Sixth Master Ren Tianzong, who had slowly released the woman's hand, suddenly turned his head. Fury burst from his eyes, and an invisible force instantly sent Ren Jie flying more than ten meters away.

Sixth Master Ren Tianzong slowly set the woman's hand down properly, then rose and walked out of the Wooden House.

"Sixth Master, it was me..." Wan Hong had just stepped forward to admit his fault when Sixth Master Ren Tianzong raised a hand, stopping him from continuing.

Ren Tianzong looked at Ren Jie, who had been blasted away. Seeing neither fear nor remorse on his face, his expression darkened further.

Feng'er was the eternal wound in his heart, something he absolutely would not allow anyone to mention or hurt. This was only because it was Ren Jie. If it had been anyone else speaking suddenly at such a time, and saying words that stabbed his heart, he would likely have already killed them.

"I do not care how you fool around outside, but from now on, you are not allowed to spout nonsense about your Sixth Aunt, nor are you allowed near this house again..."

"So she really is Sixth Aunt. Then I have even more reason to say this. If you, Sixth Uncle, do not have a blood feud with Sixth Aunt and want her never to wake up, then I truly cannot understand why you will not save her." Although Ren Tianzong exerted tremendous pressure at that moment, Ren Jie had even experienced the Sage Dao Discussion. He had been unaffected by pressure as powerful as the Emperor's might and the Smiling Old Man's, so this naturally did not feel like much. Before Sixth Master Ren Tianzong could finish, he had already cut in.

"A blood feud? I want her to remain unconscious..." Sixth Master Ren Tianzong was truly furious this time—utterly furious. He was willing to trade everything he possessed for her awakening. If she could regain consciousness, he would not hesitate even if it meant dying immediately.

Ren Tianzong reached out and grabbed through the air. An invisible giant hand instantly seized Ren Jie and lifted him up. Though enraged, Ren Tianzong had no intention of killing Ren Jie, but the pressure was nonetheless tremendous.

"Sixth Master, calm your anger!" Seeing Ren Jie caught in Sixth Master's invisible giant hand, suspended in midair as his body compressed and even his bones creaked, Wan Hong hurriedly rushed over and knelt. "This subordinate is at fault. Please punish me, Sixth Master."

"I would trade everything I have for her awakening. If you dare speak such nonsense again, I truly will not be polite with you. Even if your father were alive, he would not interfere if I wished to discipline you. Leave at once, and never enter here again." Ren Tianzong suppressed his fury and prepared to have Wan Hong take Ren Jie away.

Over all these years, what method had he not tried? Back when Ren Tianxing was still around, he had also exhausted every possible means, yet none had worked.

Thus, Ren Jie's words sounded like complete nonsense to him.

"Even if your intentions are good, taking the wrong road still leads nowhere. Relying solely on your power to suppress it like this, how long do you think you can keep it suppressed?" Though Ren Jie was caught and restrained by Ren Tianzong's invisible giant hand, his entire body under such pressure that his bones creaked, after cultivating the Jade Emperor Art Body Refining Chapter, he no longer cared about this degree of pain. Looking directly at Ren Tianzong, he said, "If you want to save her, put me down first."

Save... her? Could he save her? Ren Tianzong had long since fallen into despair. He had originally intended to accompany Feng'er and slowly depart from this world together. If not for Eldest Brother's instructions, he would not even have cared about anything in the outside world.

"I already said that I do not care how you fool around outside, but if you dare make a joke out of this matter again..."

"Damn it!" Ren Jie could see that Ren Tianzong did not trust him at all and still treated him as a child making a mess. He directly said, "Sixth Aunt should suffer an episode at this time every time. Before this, you should have found people to detoxify her, and you also sought help regarding the runes and restrictions. But every time, the result was that Sixth Aunt suffered some damage. What initially appeared to be a simple poisoning became increasingly problematic the more it was treated. In the end, Sixth Aunt fell completely into slumber and became a vegetable."

"In other words, a living corpse..." Seeing that Ren Tianzong did not understand the term vegetable, Ren Jie thought of another way to put it and continued, "So now you are purely using power to slowly stabilize her, but this is not a long-term solution. At present, at least seventeen symptoms are tangled together within Sixth Aunt's body."

"What did you say..." Sixth Master Ren Tianzong's hand trembled. With an excited lift of his hand, Ren Jie instantly flew before him. The two were nearly pressed together, and at such close range, Sixth Master Ren Tianzong looked as though he wanted to see straight through Ren Jie.

He could not believe it. How could Ren Jie possibly know the condition of his wife, Yun Feng'er? Many of the seventeen symptoms had appeared only later, and he alone knew what they were.

How could this boy know? And why did he speak as though he had seen it all with his own eyes?

Ren Jie answered truthfully, "I saw it just now."

Saw... it? Who was he trying to fool? He had invited so many people. Many had been able to identify some of the symptoms at a glance. At first, they had all thought it was nothing serious, but as soon as they truly began treatment, new problems would emerge, leaving them helpless one after another.

Later on, no one had even been able to see clearly what exactly had gone wrong. This was also why Ren Tianzong had begun to despair. Yet now Ren Jie claimed he had seen it all after one glance. What did he think this was?

He knew after one look? What kind of joke was that? But only Ren Tianzong was here. Even if someone had investigated with malicious intent, they could not possibly know.

Seeing Ren Tianzong's expression of disbelief and shock, as though he had encountered a ghost, Ren Jie continuously studied the symptoms he had just seen on Sixth Aunt's body. It was like when he had stood before the one hundred and eight Thousand Layer Trees arranged by the Smiling Old Man last night and deduced Battle Eight Directions Annihilation. Relying on his all-encompassing realm, he continuously combined and transformed the seventeen symptoms within Yun Feng'er's body.

"No, it is not seventeen. There should be two more, making nineteen in total. While none of them is particularly extraordinary on its own, these nineteen are intertwined within Sixth Aunt's body, forming a unique super trap. It is still difficult to see what this trap truly is, but judging from the current situation, whenever one of the other symptoms was triggered during the initial outbreaks, Sixth Aunt's body suffered another injury and required more medicine and power to support and suppress it."

"Mm!" Ren Jie gradually completed his analysis in his mind, then looked at Sixth Master Ren Tianzong with genuine admiration. "Honestly, Sixth Uncle, I really admire you. You kept thinking of every possible way to treat Sixth Aunt's illness, yet the more you treated it, the worse the situation became. By now, you probably do not even dare try anymore. Judging from Sixth Aunt's condition, if the final two symptoms erupt and the nineteen symptoms form an unimaginably vast and complex system, not even immortals would be able to do anything. So in the end, you could only choose to suppress it with your power. You have to suppress it every day. It is hard to imagine such an enormous sacrifice over all these years..."

"That is not important. It truly is not important at all. As long as Feng'er can recover, this is nothing. You... you really have a way?" Hope—though it was only the faintest glimmer—had appeared for the first time in all these years. Sixth Master Ren Tianzong excitedly grabbed Ren Jie's shoulders. Ren Jie could feel the strength in his hands, as well as his agitation and trembling.

"This involves the art of sealing and restriction. I will need to look into that before I can treat her. The other eight poisons also need to be neutralized, along with the runes, the suppression of her heart meridians, the Gu Poison..." Ren Jie thought for a moment after speaking. "There is a way, but it carries some risk. To be honest, the person who poisoned Sixth Aunt was exceedingly, exceedingly clever and vicious. He had practically predicted the current situation. He wants to slowly grind Sixth Uncle and Sixth Aunt to death together. That is a hundred times more vicious than killing them outright."

Ren Jie now completely understood why no one had been able to cure her before. It appeared to be nothing more than some simple poisons, runes, sealing arts, restrictions, and Gu Poison, but they were linked ring after ring. Treating one would stimulate another symptom. The matters involved spanned many different fields and could not be treated separately, which was why the situation had become what it was today.

Ren Jie was not particularly powerful yet, but because he had listened to the Sage Dao Discussion, his overall realm was extraordinarily high. This realm extended across every field, allowing him to see through everything at a glance and understand it clearly.

A sharp killing intent flashed through Sixth Master Ren Tianzong's eyes. How could he not have known all this over the years? Yet he had no choice but to proceed as he had.

"I have also deduced the remaining two poisons. Fortunately, in order to keep Sixth Aunt in this state of neither death nor life, he did not use anything especially advanced or powerful. He merely linked everything together, creating a unique trap that no one could undo and that involved more than a dozen different fields. Otherwise, this really would have been troublesome."

As Ren Jie spoke, he looked at Sixth Master Ren Tianzong, who was nearly pressed against him. "Sixth Uncle, if you want intimacy, wait until Sixth Aunt wakes up and be intimate with her slowly. Right now, you need to prepare paper and pen for me to write some things down. Then hurry and gather them, and make sure to do it extremely secretly. No one can discover it."

"They will not. Tell me whatever you need." Since Yun Feng'er's life and death were involved, Ren Tianzong's divine sense instantly spread out and enveloped the surrounding area. At that moment, if any other divine sense dared move nearby, he would kill without mercy.

"Paper, pen..." At the same time, he called out. Before he even needed to say more, Wan Hong, who had followed him for many years, had already prepared them.

The only matter capable of making Sixth Master so excited and lose his composure was likely this one. And now that there was hope, even Wan Hong, standing to the side, found it all far too... too unbelievable...

Over the years, people had been invited here from time to time, all arranged by him. Some had even been brought over from other countries. Every one of them had been extraordinary, people whom even ordinary emperors, kings, generals, and ministers would find difficult to invite. Yet Sixth Master Ren Tianzong had always been able to produce something or think of some method to invite them.

But in the end, there had only been disappointment after disappointment. Though Wan Hong still found it difficult to believe that Ren Jie could truly accomplish it, over all these years, Ren Jie was the only person who had made Sixth Master so excited and shown him hope. Perhaps...
