Huan Yuehua was full of confidence in Xi Jianwei's medical skills, believing that with him on the case, the goals for their trip to Thunder Valley would surely be met.
However, to her surprise, Xi Jianwei's face was full of guilt as he bowed. "Sect Master, I have failed to meet your expectations." He finished with a long sigh and turned his head away.
Huan Yuehua was slightly taken aback. "The Thunder Valley Sect Master's wife's illness must be extremely difficult to treat," she said. "It's unexpected that even Elder Xi, a seventh-level Pill King, couldn't personally find a cure."
Hearing this, Xi Jianwei sighed again. "If it were truly because the illness was peculiar and beyond my capabilities, I would have nothing to say. But to my dismay, I misjudged the situation and failed to see that the Sect Master's wife was afflicted by a Gu-worm. In the end, a fifth-level Pill King was the one who diagnosed and cured her. How shameful! Truly shameful!"
