Doomsday Roulette

Xia Bai had become weak again. Dai Zhi, who was responsible for taking care of her, hurried to find Ye Zhongming to report this situation.

Ye Zhongming quickly ran to Xia Bai’s room; everything was normal when he checked on her earlier in the morning! Upon entering the room, he found several members of the red dress guard, who didn’t have any patrol or training tasks today, gathered there. Seeing Ye Zhongming arrive, they voluntarily made way for him.

Ye Zhongming saw Xia Bai lying on the bed, her complexion pale as before.

Is the confrontation… ineffective?

Does that mean the problem isn’t physical?

Many questions flooded Ye Zhongming’s mind.

“I’m fine,” Xia Bai said weakly. The members of the red dress guard had never seen their captain like this before, and they stared at her with wide eyes, unsure of what to say or do.

Ye Zhongming examined Xia Bai’s body very carefully; after all, she was not an ordinary person—her back could sprout wings.

This inevitably required him to touch certain areas and even remove some clothing, but everyone felt that it was normal. While Xia Bai was glancing back at Ye Zhongming, she mischievously winked at her long-lost female soldiers.

Perhaps due to her weakened state, Xia Bai’s mental state also seemed less cold and hard than before.

After finishing the examination, Ye Zhongming pondered for a moment. He and He, along with several elder figures from the Long Void Water Clan, arrived as well. They also checked Xia Bai's condition; their medical skills were indeed exceptional.

Unfortunately, just like yesterday, they still couldn't determine the problem. Many were starting to lament the loss of the Zhen Gong pill.

“Why not try the 'Gyro' again?” He suggested, referring to another high-level potion. The Zhen Gong enhances the body, while the Gyro enhances the spirit.

Ye Zhongming shook his head. He no longer dared to try. He was afraid that if a solution was found later, these powerful substances would introduce uncertainties.

“Prepare the aircraft; I will take Xia Bai to the Library Palace.”

Ye Zhongming’s words brooked no argument, and everyone immediately took action. Two hours later, the aircraft carrying Ye Zhongming left the Survivor Fortress.

After his departure, training for Liang Chuyin, Gao Yi, and the Yama Tree began at Cloud Summit Manor. The Assault Camp was responsible for Gao Yi, the red dress guard for Liang Chuyin, and the Mechanical Genius for the Yama Tree.

As for Ye Zhongming himself, along with the white dragon horse Lai Lai Bird and other peak experts, they would personally conduct training after the basic training concluded.

……………………

Library Palace.

The Old Dean hadn’t expected Ye Zhongming to come without any prior notice.

Their relationship was currently a secret, and they tried to minimize contact.

However, he said nothing because he saw the woman Ye Zhongming was carrying.

“Eh?”

The Old Dean exclaimed in surprise, prompting Ye Zhongming to set Xia Bai down. He then personally examined her from head to toe and grabbed Xia Bai’s wrist, closing his eyes to check.

After the Old Dean released Xia Bai, Ye Zhongming hurriedly asked what the issue was.

He believed that Xia Bai wasn’t ill but was experiencing some sort of evolutionary issue he didn’t understand or couldn’t perceive.

No one in Cloud Summit or Cloud Summit Manor could see it either, but that was because there were no peak experts there. Among the peak experts Ye Zhongming knew, the one most likely to notice and potentially cure Xia Bai was the Old Dean of the Library Palace.

However, the Old Dean did not respond to Ye Zhongming’s question. Instead, he instructed someone to call a few book keepers over.

Soon, several experts in medicine and evolution arrived.

Seeing Ye Zhongming, they had a very good attitude. They were already quite familiar with him, as they had been coordinating with him during the search for the curse cure. Most of them had guided him on how to find materials, sharing the past and potential names of various substances, where they might appear, and knowledge to differentiate authenticity, etc.
