Chapter 2744 — The Worsening Condition

"Huh? Cultivate again after you recover?" Wei Zhao was astonished. "Wouldn't that just cause the problem all over again?"
"It's fine—once the problem comes up, we'll just stop, and when I'm better we'll continue," Wang Xinyan said.
"..." Though Wang Xinyan's words sounded like a joke, a little playful, they filled Wei Zhao with boundless emotion! When a girl is willing to make such a sacrifice for you, her feelings need no voicing—no matter how dense Wei Zhao was, he could understand what was in Wang Xinyan's heart.
But what Wei Zhao could never quite figure out was this: since Wang Xinyan liked him in her heart, why wouldn't she agree to his pursuit? Could it be that she was wary of Kang Jinglong? Still, Wei Zhao could understand Wang Xinyan's worries—with the strength he had displayed so far, he truly could not contend with the Xuandan Sect!
Even that day when Wei Zhao brought up Feng Xiaoxiao's status, it had been out of sheer necessity, because Kang Jinglong had invoked the background of the ancient era, and Wei Zhao had none of his own. Otherwise, Wei Zhao truly would not have wanted to bring it up.
And although Wei Zhao could fight opponents above his level, his strength was ultimately only that of the late Earth rank. To speak of contending with the Xuandan Sect with such strength was nothing short of a fool's dream! Once Wei Zhao understood the reason, he stopped pressuring Wang Xinyan—he did not want to cause her too much trouble. One day, when he trampled the Xuandan Sect beneath his feet, everything would fall into place naturally.
"Thank you..." A thousand words, and in the end they could only become those two. Wei Zhao did not know how to begin to express what he felt at this moment.
"It's nothing." Wang Xinyan shook her head. "Sigh, how did my body end up with a problem anyway? What a nuisance..."
"Don't worry. I'll help you think of a way," Wei Zhao said.
"Mm..." Wang Xinyan trusted Wei Zhao deeply and nodded emphatically.
But over the next few days, Wang Xinyan's condition only grew worse! Wei Zhao brewed her medicine every day and had stopped cultivating, and although Wang Xinyan was able to get up and go to school normally in the mornings, at school she could not help but doze off.
What worried Wei Zhao most was that Wang Xinyan's condition had progressed from an initial midday nap to needing a sleep at every break between classes—and even during class her eyelids would battle each other, and with one slip she would nod off!
Wang Xinyan's frequent bouts of drowsiness not only worried Wei Zhao but also drew Kang Jinglong's concern. Seeing Wang Xinyan always inexplicably sleeping in class, Kang Jinglong finally could not hold back—he did not even have the chance to find an opportunity to get close to Wang Xinyan, because apart from class time, she was simply sleeping the whole time. He could not even approach her to pursue her; she was asleep even during class, so where would he find the chance?
"Wei Zhao, what on earth is wrong with Xinyan? Why is she sleeping all day?" Kang Jinglong tried to keep his attitude as mild as possible, so as to avoid another beating from Wei Zhao.
