Why didn't Han Yunxi say anything?
She had a lot to say. She had been hiding the words for seven or eight days, but she couldn't say them. Seeing that Long Fei Ye had woken up, she suddenly had nothing to say. She just wanted to ask him if he was well.
Seeing Long Fei Ye's distressed gaze, she quickly wrote a few words on the paper, saying that her throat hurt and she couldn't make a sound for the time being.
Actually, with Han Yunxi's usual meticulous nature, she would've noticed something amiss. Long Feiye's first reaction was to touch her throat. His question was, 'Why aren't you speaking?' instead of, 'What's wrong with your throat?'
He seemed to have known that her throat was hoarse. He had been unconscious for so many days, so how did he know?
Perhaps, he really knew the truth; perhaps, he knew how to guess.
In any case, Han Yunxi didn't think too much about it. She was filled with gratitude and joy. As long as this man was alive and could wake up, it was more important than anything else.
"Why does it hurt?" Long Fei Ye asked again. His weak voice was soft, and Han Yunxi's heart almost melted. She never knew that being able to hear his voice was such a wonderful thing.
Han Yunxi thought for a moment and wrote another four words on the paper. "It's inflamed."
Long Fei Ye frowned and looked at her. After looking at her for a long time, he suddenly smiled helplessly. He stroked the corner of her eyes and asked gently, "Silly girl, you're crying, right?"
Han Yunxi looked away and didn't answer.
"I'm not dead yet, and you're already crying like this. If one day I really …"
Before Long Fei Ye could finish speaking, Han Yunxi glared at him fiercely, warning him to shut up.
Long Fei Ye continued, "If one day I really die, what will you do?"
Han Yunxi stopped writing. She opened her mouth and answered silently, "If you really die, I won't cry anymore."
She gritted her teeth as she spoke. Even though she didn't speak, Long Fei Ye could still distinguish every word from the shape of her mouth.
"Don't cry?"
Long Fei Ye thought about it for a long time and said indifferently, "If you don't cry, then what do you want to do? Was she going to travel the world with Gu again? Aren't you afraid that this prince will really break his legs? "
Han Yunxi immediately wrote on the paper, "You don't have that ability now!"
It was rare for Long Feiye to get angry at the mention of Gu Qishao's name. He originally wanted to tease Han Yunxi, but he didn't expect to be teased by her.
He really didn't have the ability to break Gu's legs now. He didn't know how long it would take for him to recover from his internal injuries. He only hoped that he could recover before mid-autumn.
If Han Yunxi made fun of him, he wouldn't get angry. Instead, he would laugh. Seeing that he could still smile, Han Yunxi felt like she'd lost to him.
She looked at him in annoyance, but as she looked, she couldn't help but smile.
She hadn't smiled in so many days.
"Come over here and let this prince hug you properly. Hurry up?" Long Fei Ye was anxious.
Han Yunxi immediately leaned over. Afraid that she would hurt him, she put her hands on both sides of him. Who knew that Long Fei Ye would wrap his arms around her and press her down hard.
"Do you believe it? These days, I can hear you crying. It's just that … you really can't wake up. "
He suddenly became serious, so serious that Han Yunxi didn't dare to move.
Before Han Yunxi could think about his words, he said again, "Han Yunxi, in the future, if I'm not around, don't cry, okay?" He whispered in her ear. His voice was very, very low, but it had an irresistible force. He said, "Wait until I wake up. Wait until I'm around. Then you can cry, okay? I'll give you my shoulder and let you cry. "
"I'm scared. I'm scared that you'll never be around …" Han Yunxi suddenly said. Her voice was very hoarse, and she was choked with sobs.
"Silly, I haven't married you in a grand sedan chair with eight people carrying you. I haven't kicked the sedan chair door and carried you in. I haven't bowed to heaven and earth with you. How can I not be around?" Long Fei Ye asked this very seriously.
Han Yunxi didn't want to cry, but her tears still flowed down uncontrollably. She had never mentioned these things to him, nor did she deliberately remember them. It was just that she couldn't forget them in the end.
He had never mentioned them either. She originally thought that he wouldn't care so much, but she didn't expect that he knew what he owed her. He always remembered what he owed her.
"Okay, I'll remember it all. You must return what you owe me. You're not allowed to go back on your word! Otherwise, I'll marry someone else! "she said seriously.
As soon as her voice fell, the strength around her waist immediately tightened. It was so tight that she almost couldn't breathe. However, she still stubbornly said, "Then it's settled!"
Long Fei Ye would eventually lose if he dared to compete with her. She didn't feel pain, but he would. In the end, he could only helplessly let go. He gently rubbed her throat. "Don't talk so much. If your throat is really damaged, I'll be guilty."
She laid on top of him. Actually, she still hadn't fully recovered. She didn't know how she got through all these years. Even now, she felt like it was a dream. A dream that she had completely lost control of.
"I'll go get Shizun to take a look at your injury!"
She wanted to get up, but Long Fei Ye didn't let go. "Be good. Don't talk. Let ben wang hug you for a while."
Han Yunxi buried her head in his chest and didn't see the deep guilt in his eyes at this moment …
Tenderness couldn't last long.
Soon, Elder Kenzō came over. When he saw that Long Fei Ye was awake, he was overjoyed and quickly took his pulse. Han Yunxi wanted to move away, but Long Fei Ye held her hand and didn't let go.
"Take his pulse!" Han Yunxi whispered.
Long Fei Ye held her hand with his left hand and extended his right hand to Elder Kenzō.
"I'm blocking it. Stop fooling around." Han Yunxi reminded him in a low voice. She was so anxious that her ears were burning as she leaned against Elder Kenzō's face.
But Long Fei Ye didn't let go. She had no choice but to move aside and sit on the edge of the bed to give Elder Kenzō some space.
Elder Kenzō saw all of this, but pretended not to notice a thing. He didn't say a word or smile, but quietly took Long Fei Ye's pulse.
"You should thank the Honored Elders for their true qi. Otherwise, you really would have lost your life," Elder Kenzō sighed with emotion.
"How long do I have to recuperate?" Long Fei Ye was only interested in this question.
"A year if slow. Half a year if fast. You won't be able to leave the mountain this autumn," Elder Kenzō replied honestly.
Long Fei Ye didn't speak, but Han Yunxi quickly added, "Your health is important. You need to recuperate for a year! The situation in Northern Li isn't clear yet. If Jun Yi Xie can bring back his battle horses, then Ning Cheng won't be able to go south. "
Long Fei Ye nodded and changed the topic. He asked Elder Kenzō, "Has Cang Qiuzi been tried yet?"
"He's locked up in jail. Once we interrogate him, the Poison Sect incident …" Elder Kenzō was in a difficult position.
Everyone knew about Cang Qiuzi's scandal, while the Poison Sect incident was a hot topic. Although there were plenty of rumors at the foot of the mountain, Elder Kenzō hadn't held a trial yet. Thus, there were no final conclusions.
"The Poison Sect … let's not admit it for now!" Long Fei Ye said.
"So many people saw the poison beast that day. How could we not admit it?" Han Yunxi retorted.
"We didn't say we wouldn't admit it, just that we're still investigating."
Elder Kenzō chuckled at Long Fei Ye's words. He was all too familiar with the government's evasive tactics.
So what if he personally identified Han Yunxi as a Poison Sect descendant in front of all the disciples of the two Depositories and Courtyards?
He hadn't announced it in front of the world, much less made any public announcements. News from the foot of the mountain had spread through small channels. Now that Cang Qiuzi had been defeated and the two Depositories and Courtyards had surrendered, which Celestial Mountain disciple would dare to stand out and identify the sect leader as the one who spread the news?
In this world, there were many things that everyone knew that would never become reality until the government acknowledged them.
Although Han Yunxi detested such evasive tactics, she had to admit that it was an excellent idea.
Long Fei Ye had defeated Cang Qiuzi and killed He Yilian. Then he'd unleashed such a powerful strike that the rebels in Lockheart Courtyard had all withered away. A few days ago, scouts had reported that the Heretical Sword Sect forces at the foot of Celestial Mountain had all retreated as well.
By now, Celestial Mountain was stable. However, Long Fei Ye was still injured, while Elder Kenzō had lost all of his internal energy. If anyone found out, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Thus, Celestial Mountain's situation was still grim. Long Fei Ye's original plan to take control of the mountain and openly oppose Medical City had to be delayed. Under these circumstances, they couldn't fight head-on against Medical City, so they could only resort to roundabout tactics.
They used the excuse of "still investigating" to buy time for Long Fei Ye to recover and for Gu Beiyue and Baili Yuanlong to stabilize South Ning's commander-in-chief's estate. As long as Celestial Mountain didn't acknowledge them, Medicine City would have an excuse to supply supplies and Gu Beiyue would have a reason to shut up the mouths of the clan heads in South Ning's estate.
Han Yunxi sighed. "At the very least, doctors with a bit of conscience should be able to hold on."
The scariest thing about Medical City's ban wasn't Medicine City's lack of medicine, nor would the great clans of South Ning take the chance to strip her of her position as wangfei. Instead, it was the fact that all of the medical centers in South Ning would retreat.
Seeking medical treatment for illness wasn't the same as eating. You didn't need it every day, but it was just as important.
Think about it, if all those doctors withdrew from South Ning, then no one would be able to seek medical treatment for their illnesses. How frightening would that be?!
Before this, Han Yunxi only knew of Medical City's strength and status in Cloud Realm Continent. But she'd only heard about it from hearsay and had never seen it for herself. She didn't even want to believe it or understand it.
Medical City had neither military nor martial prowess, and wasn't even in the top three in terms of wealth. Didn't they just control Cloud Realm Continent's medical community? Where did such a high status come from?
But now she believed it!
An incurable plague could destroy an entire country, or even civilization. Medical City's strength was as frightening as a plague.
As far as she knew, the medical community had no borders even in a world war. There would always be doctors from all over the world willing to rush to the battlefield and save the dying and heal the wounded in a hail of bullets. It had to be said that Cloud Realm Continent's medical academy was a marvel of the medical world!
Han Yunxi grew curious. "Why did the medical academy destroy the Poison Sect in the past? Just what kind of heinous crimes did the Poison Sect commit? Or … was it just to get rid of dissidents?! "
The Kenzō old man glanced at Long Fei Ye before saying, "Have you heard of … the undying and indestructible people?"
