The air in the room suddenly seemed to grow heavy. Everyone remained silent. After a long while, Lu Nianjiao was the first to break the quiet.
"Xi Yue, we can still think of other methods."
"I know Little Mule. If he found out you sacrificed yourself for him… he wouldn't be able to accept it, even if he were cured."
Xu Qianqing nodded hurriedly. "That's right, Xi Yue. There's still a month. We can definitely think of another way."
But Lin Xiyue shook her head, her gaze sweeping over the crowd as she spoke slowly. "A month isn't much time. Even if we could find another way, he wouldn't have time to adjust his condition. How would he be able to face Emperor Hao then?"
"Besides… if you really had a way to cure him, why would you have waited until now?"
At her words, everyone fell silent.
