Han Chen's words were spoken expressionlessly and in a calm tone.
But to everyone else, one was hell and the other was heaven.
Although there was no conclusion yet, there was hope now. There was a way to save him.
Qin Min's entire body was trembling as her lips and teeth chattered. After a while, she finally nodded and asked, "I, I … can I go in now?"
Han Chen only nodded and didn't speak.
Qin Min immediately rushed into the room, followed by everyone else. Everyone's attention was on Gu Beiyue, so no one noticed that Han Chen's complexion wasn't good.
For the sake of saving Gu Beiyue, Han Chen had expended a great deal of true qi. Inside the room, Long Fei Ye was in the same state. The loss of true qi from the father-son-in-law pair was no less than a serious injury. It would take a year or two for them to recover.
Fortunately, Han Yunxi hadn't been involved, or else Han Yunxi would have lost the ten-year pact.
Once inside, everyone discovered that Gu Beiyue was unconscious on the bed, while Long Fei Ye was sitting on one side, his eyes closed and his face pale.
Qin Min quickly went to check on Gu Beiyue, while Han Yunxi walked to Long Fei Ye's side and took his hand, her heart aching. "Feiye, how are you feeling?"
Long Fei Ye opened his eyes and said mildly, "I'm fine."
"Your Majesty, when will he wake up?" Qin Min asked anxiously.
"Right now, the true qi in his body is flowing freely. Hurry up and use the needle technique from the medical book to prevent him from going berserk, "Long Fei Ye said seriously.
Needles were Qin Min's forte. She had already learned the needle technique from the medical book, but had never had the chance to use it.
"Okay!" She nodded seriously. Although she was nervous, her eyes, which had been dim for many days, gradually lit up.
Although everyone was concerned, they all withdrew from the room, leaving only Mu Ling 'er and Doctor Shen to help Qin Min. The little shadow really wanted to go over and hug his daddy, but he didn't dare to disturb him. He just stood at the side and watched. The little thing sat on his shoulder and was especially quiet.
Han Yunxi helped Long Fei Ye out. Only then did everyone know that Long Fei Ye was exhausted.
"Long Feiye, you … can take it, right?" Gu Qishao asked.
Long Fei Ye looked up and replied, "I won't die."
As soon as he said that, the two of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time. Gu laughed loudly, and Long Fei Ye smiled faintly.
Only Han Yunxi knew what the two of them were laughing about. Everyone else was at a loss. How could he still laugh in such a situation?
Long Feiye sat down on one side and discovered that Han Chen was gone. It was only then that everyone realized that Han Chen wasn't in the courtyard.
"Imperial Father, Grandfather said that he has left. He also said that he won't teach me martial arts this summer and will have to wait until next year." Rui 'er said seriously.
Long Fei Ye was surprised. He knew that Han Chen had used up a lot more energy than him, but he didn't expect that it would be so serious that he couldn't teach Rui 'er martial arts. It seemed that he was going to go into seclusion to recuperate.
In any case, the stone that had been pressing on everyone's hearts was finally lifted.
The next day, Gu Beiyue woke up. His complexion was much better than before. Although he still coughed and even coughed up blood, he didn't cough like before.
Gu Beiyue knew how much Han Chen and Long Fei Ye had sacrificed. He wanted to visit Han Chen. Long Fei Ye smiled. "When you recover!"
Gu Beiyue also smiled. "That's good, that's good."
When everyone saw Gu Beiyue's warm smile, they were all infected and unconsciously smiled as well.
Laughter aside, everyone knew that Gu Beiyue wouldn't have an easy time in the next six months.
He was in danger of going berserk at any moment. Qin Min had to accompany and watch over him at all times. If anything happened, all her efforts would be wasted.
No one mentioned this matter. Everyone had a smile on their faces. It seemed that Gu Beiyue had already recovered.
However, only Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi left. The others didn't.
Long Fei Ye had a bunch of important matters to attend to. If they didn't return, those officials would probably make a fuss. Han Yunxi had to seize the time to cultivate in seclusion and do her best to fulfill the ten-year promise.
The others, even Yan 'er and Rui' er, didn't leave. They wanted to stay with Little Shadow. Gu was the most exaggerated. He was going to build a small wooden house by the waterfall. The wood was already chopped.
Gu Beiyue really couldn't stop him. Qin Min persuaded him instead. "It's good to let everyone stay. If I can't handle it, I can't keep an eye on you all the time. "
Gu Beiyue's persuasion skills were first-class. In the end, he managed to persuade Tang Li, Ning Jing, Mu Ling 'er, Jin Zi, and Doctor Shen to leave. As for Gu, he didn't say a word. He knew that if he tried to persuade Gu again, Gu would scold him. So, in the end, only Gu, Rui 'er, Yan' er, and Little Thing stayed.
Gu spent several days building two wooden houses next to Gu Beiyue's courtyard. He helped Qin Min guard Gu Beiyue while taking care of Rui 'er and Yan' er.
Qin Min let Little Shadow and Rui 'er live together on the grounds that they shouldn't disturb their father. She and Gu Beiyue lived in the same house. At night, Gu Beiyue slept on the bed while she slept on the warm couch next to him, like a maid keeping watch at night. She woke up whenever there was any movement on Gu Beiyue's side. She even woke up several times for no reason and scared herself.
Shaoyao persuaded again and again. "Miss, you'll be exhausted."
The medicine boy felt distressed for his mistress. "Madam, Shaoyao and I will take turns to guard you. If there's anything, we'll call you. You can sleep peacefully."
Qin Min ignored them. She couldn't be sure when Gu Beiyue would act up. She was afraid that if she slept too deeply, it would delay the time and cause a disaster.
On this day, only Qin Min and Gu Beiyue were in the house.
Qin Min sat at the side reading a medical book. There was a set of golden needles on the desk, ready to be used at any time. Gu Beiyue sat at the tea table and looked at her for a long time. Finally, he walked over.
He sighed softly. "Qin Min, take a rest."
It had been more than a month. He had seen her hard work. And it wasn't just this one month.
Qin Min smiled. "It's okay. I'm not tired."
Gu Beiyue was helpless. After another month, Gu Beiyue still said to her, "Qin Min, take a rest."
Qin Min still said the same thing. "It's okay. I'm not tired."
However, Gu Beiyue looked into her eyes and said seriously, "Take it that I'm begging you."
Qin Min's heart skipped a beat. She avoided his gaze and didn't answer. However, that night, Qin Min let the medicine boy keep watch while she slept on the couch outside.
After that, Qin Min began to take turns with Gu and Shaoyao to keep watch. As for whether Qin Min could sleep peacefully when she didn't keep watch, only she knew.
The days passed like this. It seemed peaceful, but every time Gu Beiyue's inner qi ran amok, it was a battle of life and death.
Little Shadow also couldn't sleep well, but he didn't dare to tell anyone. Still, Rui 'er sensed it.
He discussed things with Yan 'er, who played all sorts of tricks during the day until Little Shadow was exhausted. Meanwhile, Rui' er would occasionally find Little Shadow to practice martial arts with.
After using up all their energy during the day, it was easy for them to fall asleep at night. After all, children couldn't endure as much as adults.
Day after day, half a year passed in a short time.
On this day, Han Yunxi emerged from closed door cultivation, as did Han Chen.
Han Xiang used Han Yunxi's territory as an excuse to refuse to fight in the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds. She wanted to change the location to the Ice Sea between Cloud Realm and the Mysterious Continent.
Han Chen agreed to Han Xiang's request. After Han Yunxi emerged from closed door cultivation, she was accompanied by Long Feiye to the Ice Sea. Han Chen followed suit from the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds.
Gu and Gu Beiyue heard the news as well. Before Gu could speak, Gu Beiyue said, "Xiao Qi, you go. Leave the two children behind."
Naturally, Gu Qishao wanted to go as well. No matter when or where, no matter how strong his Poison lass was or how high she stood, or even who was looking after her, he'd never be able to set his heart at ease.
But Gu Beiyue was about to recover in half a month. If anything happened during that time, even the gods wouldn't be able to save him.
Gu was in a difficult position.
Gu Beiyue simply said, "Xiao Qi, go in my place. Remind esteemed empress to be careful and not be careless. "
Just how much did he mean by 'in my place'?
It wasn't clear how much Gu understood, but he nodded. "Alright, take care!"
He was planning to hide the news from Rui 'er and Yan' er, but Rui 'er had long gotten the news from the Shadow Guard. Before Gu left, Rui' er had already taken his little sister down the mountain.
Gu Qishao could only hurry down the mountain and take the two siblings with him.
It wasn't just Gu. Tang Li, Ning Jing, Mu Ling 'er, and Jin Zi were all heading for the Ice Sea at the same time.
Unfortunately, Ning Cheng, who was on the northern shores of the Ice Sea, had no idea what was going on. He and Jin 'er were busy with the Xuankong Trade Consortium's business. His son, Ning Yuan, had taken Hua Jin as his godmother and spent all his time with her. His temperament was very similar to Hua Jin's, unlike the two of them. Those who saw him couldn't guess that he was the young master of the Xuankong Trade Consortium and only thought of him as a small assassin.
After Gu, Rui 'er, and Yan' er left, Gu Beiyue's small courtyard became much quieter. Qin Min was still guarding him. Without Rui 'er and Yan' er's company, Little Shadow stayed by his mother's side and guarded his father with her.
Gu Beiyue climbed the mountain every day and looked towards the north. Qin Min and Little Shadow naturally followed him.
Little Shadow asked, "Daddy, will esteemed empress win?"
Gu Beiyue smiled faintly. "Yes, she never fights a battle she's not confident in."
Qin Min looked at him, and Gu's words that day unconsciously surfaced in her mind. However, she quickly shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
What was the use of thinking about it?
No matter how much she thought, his heart was still that heart. She couldn't understand it and couldn't enter it.
Her only hope was that he could live through these ten days and survive this calamity.
Even if she left, he had to be able to rest assured!
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
The Promise of Ten Years, the decisive battle at the Ice Sea.
On this day, Han Yunxi stood on the shore of the Ice Sea and watched from afar as Han Xiang rode a snow sled over. At Wu Ya Mountain, Gu Beiyue's true qi suddenly became chaotic. The situation was critical.
Qin Min had clearly used acupuncture, but she couldn't control the true qi in Gu Beiyue's body. She panicked because she had never seen such a situation before!
Little Shadow and Shaoyao couldn't help from the side and could only worry helplessly …
