Gu Beiyue slowly opened his eyes. It didn't seem like he'd just woken up, but more like he was faking it. His eyes were very clear and awake.
When he saw Long Fei Ye looking down at him, he wasn't surprised or flustered. It was as if he'd opened his eyes on purpose to look at Long Fei Ye.
Long Feiye was as expressionless as ever, but his icy gaze took on a meaningful glint. He only looked at her without a word.
Lil Thing on the side was stunned. Only now did it realize that the gentleman was faking it. Was it because it was worried? It hadn't realized.
Lil Thing didn't care so much. It was fine as long as the gentleman woke up! It was so happy that it wanted to wake Mama Yunxi up, but a single glance from the gentleman stopped it from moving. Perhaps it was because it'd been with the gentleman for too long, or perhaps it liked him too much, but Lil Thing could always accurately sense the gentleman's intentions, even if it was just a glance.
In Lil Thing's eyes, no one else in this world treated Mama Yunxi better than the gentleman. Even it couldn't compare to him. As for Papa Long on the side, heheh, it still needed to observe.
The gentleman must have his reasons for hiding things from Mama Yunxi, so it trusted the gentleman.
Lil Thing silently returned to the gentleman's side and buried its head in his warm palm. It wanted to express its surprise, but it ended up wetting the gentleman's hand instead.
Gu Beiyue could feel the warmth and moisture in his palm. He gave a pitying smile and gently cupped Lil Thing in his arms. Lil Thing snuggled against him, perfectly content.
Long Fei Ye glanced at him, his lips curling up in disdain. He still owed Lil Thing a hug, but he'd probably long forgotten about it.
He seemed to have long seen through Gu Beiyue's act, but didn't ask anything. He didn't show his emotions, but silently withdrew his hand and averted his gaze.
Gu Beiyue wasn't surprised by this, but closed his eyes again.
Han Yunxi fell asleep. The two men were silent with tacit understanding.
There were some things that couldn't be said in front of Han Yunxi. Long Fei Ye thought so, and so did Gu Beiyue.
This was their tacit understanding, the only tacit understanding between them.
Back at the Thousand Buddha Cavern, even though Long Fei Ye's group was dressed in black, Gu Beiyue was able to guess that it was them. He also recognized the Long Fei Ye's golden whip. At that time, although Long Fei Ye was busy fighting, he paid a lot of attention to him. Now that he had fallen into Chang Fei Ye's hands and the injuries on his shoulders and legs had been discovered, he knew that there was no way he could escape this time.
After a sleepless night filled with the sounds of carriages, they finally arrived at Long Feiye's estate in Yaoshui Prefecture around noon the next day. Xu Donglin had already come over in advance to make arrangements. At this time, doctors were gathered in the courtyard.
Han Yunxi immediately organized a consultation with the doctors. Some of the doctors' opinions were laughable and childish to Gu Beiyue. One had to know that he was well aware of his own condition. If even he couldn't cure himself, how could others? He didn't have any intention of mocking the doctors, but he felt helpless in his heart. He calmly "fainted" and allowed the doctors to examine him. He didn't have the irritable temper of a normal patient.
After a fierce round of questioning and debate, the consultation didn't reach a conclusion. The doctors only agreed on two points. The first was that Gu Beiyue's leg injury wouldn't heal unless there was a miracle. They could only do their best to prevent it from worsening. The second point was that Gu Beiyue's body was too weak and couldn't use overly strong medicines. They could only use mild medicines to slowly recover.
Han Yunxi saw these two points as nonsense. In a fit of anger, she sent all the doctors away. The only thing they could do now was wait for Medicine City's dragon tendon powder. That thing was a good medicine to treat muscles and bones. At the very least, it could prevent the injury from worsening until Third Elder Shen arrived.
Fortunately, Medicine City delivered the dragon tendon powder that afternoon. This thing was controlled by the Council of Elders and wasn't for sale. If it weren't for Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye, they wouldn't have been able to obtain it so quickly.
The dragon tendon powder was tied to the leg of a messenger eagle. It was only a small packet, but it was enough for Gu Beiyue to use for a long time. Han Yunxi immediately went to prepare the medicine herself after receiving it.
As soon as she left the room, Long Fei Ye, who had been brewing tea at the tea table, stood up and walked over. He stood beside the bed with his hands behind his back and said Coldly, "You can wake up now."
Gu Beiyue immediately woke up. He opened his eyes and smiled faintly. There was no wariness, no hostility, no surprise, and no panic.
The calmness in his eyes was one that could never be disturbed. Only when he was facing the woman he wanted to protect, and when he was facing himself, would he show the seven emotions and six desires, love, hate, infatuation, and craziness.
Such a gentle smile made Lil 'Thing intoxicated.
A trace of admiration flitted across Long Fei Ye's eyes. Gu Beiyue was so calm and open-minded. Although he was weak, he was still a man.
Coldly, he said, "You should know very well that your legs are crippled."
"Yes," Gu Beiyue replied very calmly. "My shadow technique is also crippled."
Before Long Fei Ye could question him, he admitted his identity with these four words.
Long Fei Ye didn't find it strange that he admitted something with such irrefutable evidence. Coldly, he asked again, "Was it you at the Heaven's Pit? The person who saved Han Yunxi from Jun Yi Xie's hands was also you? "
Long Fei Ye needed a definite answer, but when Gu Beiyue answered "yes," Long Fei Ye finally lost his calm. He coldly asked, "Why?"
Why did he get close to Han Yunxi in the Heaven's Pit? Why did he protect Han Yunxi? After entering the Heaven's Pit's secret room, Gu Beiyue had clearly disappeared. How did he know that Jun Yi Xie had kidnapped Han Yunxi? Why did he risk his life to save Han Yunxi?
If Gu Beiyue wasn't the Shadow Clan's white-clothed young master, Long Fei Ye would've believed that he only approached Han Yunxi for the poison beast.
However, if Gu Beiyue and the Shadow Clan's white-clothed young master were the same person, then all of Gu Beiyue's previous actions were suspicious. Long before going to the Heaven's Pit, he had approached Han Yunxi with a motive. Later, when he set up shop at Pill Fiend Pharmacy, he had even more ulterior motives!
What did Gu Beiyue know? Was Gu Beiyue protecting something? What did Gu Beiyue have to do with the Nether and Di Clans? Did the Nether and Di Clans know anything?
What did Gu Beiyue want to do? He had known Han Yunxi for so long, but he didn't seem to have done anything.
Long Fei Ye considered many things. Calm and rational, he didn't act rashly and alert the enemy. After all, no one in this world knew about Mute Granny. Even Gu didn't know what Mute Granny had told him.
He furrowed his brows and waited for Gu Beiyue's answer.
"Because …"
Gu Beiyue was about to answer when the door was suddenly pushed open. He had no choice but to swallow back the words he was about to say.
The person who came in was naturally Han Yunxi. When she saw Long Fei Ye standing by the bed, she quickly understood.
"Doctor Gu is awake?" She rushed over and saw that Gu Beiyue was indeed awake. He was smiling faintly, as if he had just woken up and nothing had happened.
He had originally planned to explain everything to Long Fei Ye before waking up, but now he had no choice but to face this woman first.
Gu Beiyue was neither humble nor humble. "Esteemed wangfei, I can't get off the bed to greet you. My apologies."
"What are you talking about?"
Han Yunxi was so anxious that she didn't even ask how Gu Beiyue had been kidnapped. She hurriedly asked, "Your leg injury can still be treated, right? What medicine do you need? I'll send someone to find it immediately! This is Dragon Tendon Powder. I've already prepared it. Should I apply it normally, or do I need to do some special treatment? Hot compress? Or do you need acupuncture? "
"Many thanks for esteemed wangfei's concern." Gu Beiyue was injured to this extent, but he was still very polite. "This one can apply the medicine himself."
Han Yunxi had already told Gu Beiyue more than once that he didn't need to be so polite. Every time, Gu Beiyue would nod his head and say 'ha', but he would continue to be respectful and courteous the next time.
Han Yunxi was already too lazy to argue with him about this, so she let him be.
"Your shoulder is still injured, how are you going to apply medicine? If you pull on the wound, how many days will it take for your body to heal? "Han Yunxi frowned and seriously asked.
She didn't give Gu Beiyue a chance to refute. She sat by the bed and directly ordered, "Don't move!"
She carefully began to treat the wound. There was nothing more urgent than applying medicine. A trace of helplessness flashed past Gu Beiyue's eyes, but he didn't refuse.
Although the wound on his shoulder was penetrated, the inside was basically healed. Only the wound on the front and back was not easy to heal. Just now, a doctor had already treated it and removed the residue of the medicine. It was very simple to use new medicine.
As for the wound on his leg, there were also a lot of residue of the medicine. However, it wasn't easy to remove it. This was because the injury was very serious and the wound was very deep. If one wasn't careful, it would hurt Gu Beiyue. This kind of pain was unbearable for ordinary people.
Han Yunxi was afraid that Gu Beiyue would be in pain. She was a person who would protect and be biased.
As a doctor, she was very clear that there was no wound that didn't hurt. Even if the wound was anesthetized, it would still hurt after the anesthesia. She was also not a good-tempered doctor. She often reprimanded patients who yelled and didn't cooperate because they were afraid of pain.
However, when facing some people, she was especially afraid that they would feel pain. Of course, the pain was a small matter. Pulling on the wound was a big matter.
The room was silent. Han Yunxi's gaze was focused on Gu Beiyue's wound. She was serious, professional, and strict. Her delicate brows were tightly knitted. She was so serious that no one dared to disturb her.
However, Gu Beiyue couldn't help but want to reach out and gently smooth her brows. He wanted to tell her, "It's okay. If you're injured, then so be it. As long as you're alive, I can still protect you. "
He liked this serious look of hers the most. However, he hated it the most when she looked at his wound like this.
No matter how much he disliked it, no matter how much he couldn't hold it in, he had to endure it.
Suddenly, a large hand reached out and interrupted Gu Beiyue's thoughts. It was Long Fei Ye.
He was standing at the side. His large hand brushed away Han Yunxi's furrowed brows. He wasn't gentle at all and seemed to be a little unhappy.
"Rest. I'll do it," he said Coldly.
It was already considered an improvement that the big vinegar jar had been knocked over at this time. How could he allow Han Yunxi to apply medicine on another man under his nose? Moreover, this man was Gu Beiyue.
Han Yunxi's hand stiffened slightly. She said calmly, "This wound is very deep."
In other words, she meant that Long Fei Ye wouldn't be able to treat this wound. However, Long Fei Ye insisted. "I've treated wounds even deeper than this. Let me do it."
He was domineering. He directly snatched the medicine from Han Yunxi's hand. Han Yunxi knew him too well. Furthermore, she had learned from Gu's mistake. She knew that if she didn't give in, they would probably argue.
With Gu Beiyue's usual humility, he should have given in when he saw Long Fei Ye's attitude. However, this time, he remained silent and waited.
Would Han Yunxi give in?
