Chapter 1434

In order not to arouse Kong Sheng's suspicions, the two of them had very little direct contact before.

Gu Chen's actions were somewhat risky, but Feng Yaya lived in the heavily-guarded Ministry of Works. Gu Chen had no other way to investigate the situation.

Wu Li quickly returned. The result was that Kong Sheng refused everyone's good intentions to visit her. No one could see Feng Yaya's current condition!

This made Gu Chen even more worried. That damned Kong Sheng!

"Lord Gu, Miss Feng's sudden illness is somewhat abnormal. This subordinate is worried that Lord Kong …"

Wu Li had gradually become Gu Chen's confidant. She more or less knew about his relationship with Feng Yaya. She spoke gravely after returning.

She did not voice her worries, but Gu Chen understood what she wanted to say.

The Ministry of Works was a nightmare for Wu Li. She was disfigured there and turned into a monster-like existence.

Kong Sheng had never been a normal person. Now that Feng Yaya had suddenly fallen ill, it was hard to say if he had done something.

Wu Li thought of herself back then and felt sympathy for Feng Yaya.

Gu Chen was silent. He wanted to sneak into the Ministry of Works to investigate, but things had happened too suddenly. He was worried that if he acted rashly, it would be disadvantageous to Feng Yaya.

He hesitated in his residence for a night. The next morning, he almost couldn't resist the urge to go investigate. At this moment, something unexpected happened.

Kong Sheng came.

He personally came to Gu Chen's residence. This was the first time he had done so.

"Fellow Daoist Kong, what business do you have with me?"

Gu Chen's heart was full of questions, but he pretended to be very calm on the surface. He invited Kong Sheng into the living room and personally made tea for him.

"Little Brother Gu, I heard that you are well-versed in the Dao of Time and have some attainments in medicine. Is that true?"

Kong Sheng asked Gu Chen with a smile.

Gu Chen's heart skipped a beat. He cultivated the Source of Time and Space, so his understanding of the Dao of Time naturally far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators.

However, this Kong Sheng should not be clear about this. He asked this question because Feng Yaya had probably told him.

But why did Feng Yaya tell him about this? Also, when did he learn medicine?

Gu Chen pondered and quickly understood the deeper meaning behind these words. He didn't deny it and nodded.

"I did learn medical skills from a senior in the Ninth Realm. As for the Time Dao …"

Gu Chen pointed at the tea leaves floating on top of the tea in his teacup.

Then, something strange happened. The tea leaf was like a spring breeze. It quickly took root and sprouted. Then, a camellia flower bloomed.

Kong Sheng clicked his tongue in wonder. "Little Brother Gu's Origin of Nature is truly enviable. It's all-encompassing and even involves the Dao of Time."

Gu Chen smiled but said nothing.

Most people did not understand the Origin of Nature. They thought that the space-time Dao technique that he mastered was also a derivative of the Origin of Nature.

Gu Chen did not intend to explain this point. To him, it was best for everyone to think that he only cultivated one Natural Source.

"I wonder why Brother Kong is asking about this?" Gu Chen brought the topic back to business.

Kong Sheng sighed regretfully when he heard this. "Little Brother Gu, to tell you the truth, the night before yesterday, my fiancée Yaya accidentally went berserk while cultivating and fell seriously ill."

"Why would she go berserk for no reason? What does this have to do with the Dao of Time? "Gu Chen frowned.

Kong Sheng shook his head. "Little Brother Gu also knows that I have always doted on my Yaya. She is very talented and I have always hoped that she could enter the Dao Querying realm as soon as possible. That would not only be beneficial to her future, but we could also get married earlier. "

"However, Yaya has been stuck at the bottleneck of the Quasi-emperor Realm for too long. Little Brother Gu is the same age as her and is now famous throughout the Chaotic Sea. But she has not been able to break through. It is really worrying."

"Coincidentally, I developed a kind of elixir called the Five Flavors of Time. After experimenting, it has a clear effect on breaking through the bottleneck. So, the night before yesterday, I let Yaya take it and try to break through."

"Initially, everyone else was fine after taking the elixir. Who would have thought that something would go wrong with Yaya?"

Kong Sheng made light of this matter, as if he had given Feng Yaya the wrong medicine and caused her body problems, and it had nothing to do with him.

A chill rose in Gu Chen's heart. The night before yesterday, Feng Yaya did not come as promised. Was it because Kong Sheng suddenly used her to test the elixir?

It seemed that Feng Yaya's inability to break through for a long time had caused Kong Sheng to gradually lose his patience. He had actually used the elixir.

"Just from listening to Fellow Daoist Kong, I can't be sure how serious Miss Feng's condition is. Can I go take a look?"

Gu Chen muttered. The girl's current condition was most likely very bad. Otherwise, she would not have taken the risk of being suspected and asked for his help under the guise of seeking a doctor.

"I came here to invite little brother Gu over. Seeing Ya Ya seriously ill, my heart is really sad." Kong Sheng sighed, but he did not look very sad.

"Then let's not delay. Let's go now."

Gu Chen was concerned about Feng Yaya's condition. He quickly followed Kong Sheng to the Ministry of Works.

The seriously ill Feng Yaya did not recuperate at her own residence. Instead, she was arranged to be sent to Kong Sheng's personal research institute.

Once again, they came to Kong Sheng's research institute. The first floor was filled with all kinds of colored glass pillars. The corpses of the foreign races soaked in the solution were still very uncomfortable.

The last time Gu Chen came here, he had only seen the first floor. This time, Kong Sheng directly brought him to the second floor.

Feng Yaya was arranged to stay in a secluded room on the second floor. When Gu Chen and Feng Yaya opened the door and entered, there were a few maids taking care of her.

Once he saw the appearance of Feng Yaya on the sickbed, Gu Chen's pupils shrank imperceptibly.

Feng Yaya's body glowed from time to time. Her entire body had shrunk quite a bit. She looked to be about seven or eight years old.

She was currently in a deep sleep. Her facial features were as delicate as a porcelain doll's. She looked to be about seven or eight years old, but her face was twisted into a ball. She looked to be in extreme pain.

"This is the aftereffect caused by the 'Five Scents of Time' elixir. These two days, sometimes she looks like a child, sometimes she looks like her original self. Sometimes, her hair turns white and her face withered."

Kong Sheng explained, then looked at Gu Chen expectantly. "Little Brother Gu, how is it? Do you have a way to solve her problem?"

"I have to examine her before I can come to a conclusion."

Gu Chen said. He walked to the sickbed and put a hand on the petite Feng Yaya's wrist.

At this time, she looked very weak and helpless. Although she was in a deep sleep, she seemed to be living in a nightmare. There were even a few crystal tears hanging at the corner of her eyes.

Gu Chen felt inexplicably sad for her. It was like his own little sister had been wronged, but he could not stand up for her.
