Traveling through the Immortal Realm: Starting from Becoming a Top-Level Furnace Cauldron

Chapter 187 Li Chonglin Lost Again

Li Chonglin ran quickly towards the tent where the military doctor was.

Seeing this, Zhao Zimo snorted coldly and walked towards the tent with Lu Yuguan in his arms.

Inside the military doctor's tent, several military doctors were busy. When they saw Li Chonglin rushing in, they were all stunned.

"Doctor, please take a look at what's wrong with him!" Li Chonglin shouted anxiously.

Upon hearing this, the doctors quickly gathered around and began to examine Lu Yuguan.

After a careful examination, an elderly physician slowly spoke, "This young man is extremely weak and appears to have suffered severe internal injuries. He requires immediate care."

Upon hearing this, Li Chonglin's face became even gloomier. He looked at Zhao Zimo, his eyes full of questioning.

Zhao Zimo paid no attention to his gaze. He simply hugged Lu Yuguan tightly and said in a deep voice, "Use the best medicine and make sure he recovers as soon as possible."

The doctor nodded and began to prepare medicine for Lu Yuguan.

Lu Yuguan was lying on the bed in the tent, his face still pale, but he looked better than before.

He opened his eyes slightly and saw Zhao Zimo and Li Chonglin standing beside the bed, feeling helpless.

"You two, can you please stop arguing with each other? I'm in this situation now, can't you just let me worry a little less?" Lu Yuguan said weakly.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zimo and Li Chonglin looked at each other, and there was a hint of tension in the air.

"Yuguan, you have a good rest. I'll go guard outside first." Zhao Zimo said softly, then turned and walked out of the tent.

Li Chonglin also took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He walked to Lu Yuguan's bedside and said softly, "Yuguan, don't worry. I will definitely find the best medicinal herbs to help you recover as soon as possible."

Lu Yuguan sighed but did not answer.

Seeing this, Li Chonglin knew that Lu Yuguan had suffered a lot of grievances, but now he could only smile bitterly.

"You lie down first. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some healthy meals."

After saying that, Li Chonglin immediately left the tent.

Zhao Zimo was standing outside the tent. When he saw Li Chonglin coming out, he immediately put on an indifferent expression.

Li Chonglin paused, glanced at him, and walked quickly towards the kitchen.

Zhao Zimo folded his arms across his chest, leaned against the tent pillar, looked up at the sky, and felt mixed emotions.

He knew that Li Chonglin was interested in Lu Yuguan, but how could he be willing to give in like this? To him, Lu Yu was a ray of light in his life, someone he would protect even if he had to give up everything.

Not long after, Li Chonglin returned with a steaming meal. As he passed by Zhao Zimo, he said in a deep voice, "Make way. Don't block the way."

Zhao Zimo raised the corner of his mouth in a mocking arc and stepped aside.

After entering the tent, Li Chonglin gently helped Lu Yuguan up and said softly, "Yuguan, eat something. You are weak and need to replenish your body."

Lu Yuguan didn't have much of an appetite, but seeing Li Chonglin's expectant look, he forced himself to open his mouth and take a few bites.

Zhao Zimo walked in quietly. He took a few steps forward and took the bowl from Li Chonglin. "Let me do it. You're clumsy and expensive. Don't choke him again."

Li Zhonglin was about to retort, but Lu Yuguan spoke first: "Stop arguing, both of you."

After a while, with one supporting him and the other feeding him, Lu Yuguan finally ate a little more.

After dinner, Lu Yuguan went back to sleep. Zhao Zimo and Li Chonglin sat silently on either side of the bed. The atmosphere was so depressing that it was suffocating.

After a long while, Zhao Zimo stood up and whispered, "I'm going out to find some soothing herbs. He can't sleep well at night."

Li Chonglin said nothing and watched him leave quietly.

After Zhao Zimo left, Li Chonglin gently held Lu Yuguan's hand and murmured to himself, "Yuguan, I know you've suffered these days. Once the demon cultivators are wiped out, I will take you back to Longhua Country and let you live a stable life. I will never let you face danger again."

Before he finished speaking, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

Zhao Zimo searched around the camp for a long time before he dug up a few suitable herbs. When he hurried back, he saw Li Chonglin sitting on the bed and dozing off, his hand still tightly holding Lu Yuguan's arm.

Zhao Zimo's eyes turned cold, and he stepped forward and pushed Li Chonglin's hand aside.

"What are you doing!" Li Chonglin said angrily.

"What do you think?" Zhao Zimo glanced at him, then placed the herbs next to Lu Yuguan's pillow.

Li Chonglin snorted, "You are not needed here. I am here to guard it."

"Oh? I've taken care of Yuguan all the way here, so I have plenty of experience. Yuguan has never said anything bad about me," Zhao Zimo said as he sat on a chair. "As for night watch, I'm more suitable."

The two argued for a while, and Lu Yuguan was finally awakened by their noise again.

"Yuguan?"

"It's all your fault. Why are you arguing?"

"Is this my fault? It's clearly you who made the mistake first."

"Too lazy to tell you."

……

Seeing them like this, Lu Yuguan said softly, "I feel embarrassed for you two to be guarding like this."

After hearing what he said, the two finally shut up.

"Go out, I'm really fine." Lu Yuguan said.

Zhao Zimo and Li Chonglin looked at each other and saw reluctance in each other's eyes, but they really couldn't bear to go against Lu Yuguan's wishes, so they had to slowly stand up.

"Then you should have a good rest. If you need anything, feel free to call me." Zhao Zimo spoke first, his tone full of concern. Before leaving, he also tucked in the corners of the quilt for Lu Yuguan.

Li Chonglin's face was also full of worry, and he whispered: "Yuguan, rest assured, I am always here." After that, he walked out of the tent with Zhao Zimo.

After leaving the tent, the two stood side by side, speechless for a moment, only the night wind blew, ruffling the corners of their clothes.

After a while, Zhao Zimo broke the silence: "Li Chonglin, I know you are concerned about Yuguan, but I, Zhao Zimo, love him just as much as you do. I will not lose this 'contest'."

His eyes were firm, staring straight ahead, as if he was making a statement to the night.

Li Zhonglin snorted coldly: "Humph, it's still uncertain who will win. Yuguan and I knew each other first and have a deep friendship. He will choose me in the end."

Zhao Zimo's lips curled up in a slightly stubborn arc. He turned his head to look at Li Chonglin, his eyes ignited with fighting spirit. "So what if we met before? Love doesn't matter who came first."

Li Chonglin raised his head slightly, facing the night wind, a hint of pride appeared on his face: "Then we'll see. I know Yuguan's character best."

After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and took a big step forward, as if he wanted to overpower Zhao Zimo with his momentum.

Zhao Zimo, however, didn't give in at all. He followed closely, shoulder to shoulder with Li Chonglin. His voice was low but powerful: "When he was injured, I took good care of him all the way. How could he not take every little thing seriously?"

When Zhao Zimo mentioned Lu Yuguan's injured appearance, a trace of pity flashed across his eyes again.

Li Zhonglin paused, his heart stabbed. Recalling the scene during the day, he suddenly felt jealous and his tone became colder: "Humph, I'm just taking advantage of the situation. When Yuguan recovers, he will understand that my feelings are true."

Zhao Zimo sneered, "I'm afraid you don't know yet? I already promised Yuguan that I would marry him as the Crown Princess, and he didn't refuse."

"what!"
