No matter how low Gu Beiyue's voice was, Han Yunxi heard it all. Actually, Han Yunxi didn't want Gu to go to the trial either. But she didn't know how to persuade him otherwise.
If there was going to be a trial, then all of Gu Yuntian's crimes would have to be made public. Even the evidence would have to be made public.
Moreover, unlike the Apricot Woods Conference, everything would be made public to Gu Yuntian's side this time. All of Medical City and Cloud Realm Continent would be watching from the gates of the medical academy.
Gu had said before that he didn't need sympathy. She believed that he was strong enough to face his unbearable past.
Perhaps she wasn't strong enough herself. She was unable to calmly face a person who loved to laugh so much. In front of everyone's eyes, he was stripped naked and covered in scabs, standing in front of her dripping with blood.
She couldn't accept it. She didn't want it! She was afraid that she'd cry again.
Gu only pretended not to hear Gu Beiyue's pleas. He stretched lazily and asked, "Have you all eaten breakfast yet?"
"Old Fiend, don't go. I still have something to do …"
Before Han Yunxi could finish, a forlorn sob sounded from outside the courtyard. "Qi Big Brother … Qi Big Brother!"
Mu Ling 'er flew over with tears streaming down her face. She threw herself at Gu and hugged him tight, burying her head in his chest as she wailed. "Qi Big Brother, don't go! Don't go! I don't want you to go! I won't let you go! "
"Qi Big Brother, sobsob … why didn't you tell Ling 'er, why? Sobsob … "
"Qi Big Brother, we've known each other since we were young. Why didn't you tell me?"
… …
Mu Ling 'er was crying her heart out. She always thought that Qi Big Brother was an orphan who grew up eating the food of hundreds of families. Later, she found out that Qi Big Brother was Gu Qi Sha, a disciple expelled from Medical City. A few days ago, she received news from Medical City and found out the truth. She didn't care about Pill Fiend Pharmacy's affairs and rushed over without stopping. Her eyes were almost blind from crying.
She regretted so much. She regretted being so stupid when she met Qi Brother. Why didn't she find out more about him? When she met Qi Brother, Qi Brother must have just been banished. He must have been covered in pain and had no one to protect him or comfort him.
How could she … how could she fight with him? How could she call him a wild child?
Mu Ling'er wished she could go back to the past, to the moment when they first met, and hug Xiao Qi tightly.
Silence reigned in the courtyard. Chu Xifeng and Xu Donglin, who'd rushed over, stood on one side, not daring to make a sound. Mu Ling 'er's heart-wrenching sobs broke everyone's hearts.
Gu's eyes were hooded as he allowed Mu Ling'er to hug him. After a long time, he finally pushed her aside and wiped his clothes with a look of disgust. "Your snot and tears are all stuck to my clothes. It's filthy. Get lost."
Mu Ling'er cried even louder at his words. She tried to throw herself at him again, but Gu quickly backed away.
"Qi Brother, sobsob … I feel so bad, so bad … sobsob … Mu Ling'er couldn't stop crying. She looked up at him as she sobbed.
Gu Qishao hated it when she cried the most. He was about to curse her when he caught sight of her large, bloodshot eyes. Startled, he swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.
"You're crying again?" He arched a brow, his gaze still disdainful. Still, he tugged at his sleeve to wipe away Mu Ling'er's tears. "If you keep crying, you'll go blind. You'll never see me again."
Mu Ling'er's sobs stopped abruptly. She didn't dare to shed any more tears, and even stopped sobbing. She stared at him and his hand in a daze.
His hand caressed her long eyelashes in an unbelievably gentle caress. She didn't dare to move. She was afraid that if she moved, Qi Brother would disappear and she would never see him again.
Gu wiped away Mu Ling'er's tears and warned her fiercely, "Don't you dare cry again."
Mu Ling'er only dared to breathe when he let go of her. Her large, watery eyes were bloodshot from crying. She looked at him pitifully like a pitiful little rabbit.
"Qi Brother, don't go, okay?" She pleaded. She had heard Han Yunxi's words at the door just now.
Gu Qishao waved his hand impatiently and ignored her.
"Old man, just listen to …"
Han Yunxi's words were interrupted again. Gu turned back to look at her. His deep voice was cold as he asked, "Do you know that I've been waiting for this day my whole life?"
He had waited for this day for far, far too long!
He had the power to oppose Gu Yuntian a long time ago. He had all the evidence in his hands and could even threaten Ling Guyi to betray Gu Yuntian. But he had never made a move. He had even made an agreement with Long Fei Ye to keep each other's secrets a secret.
He had helped Long Fei Ye hide the truth about Mute Granny, and Long Fei Ye had helped him hide the secret of his immortality. He had helped Long Fei Ye break the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion, and Long Fei Ye had helped him deal with Medical City.
The only reason he hadn't made a move himself was because he didn't want to expose his identity and past. He had hoped that one day, Long Fei Ye would destroy Gu Yuntian and all of Medical City.
But Han Yunxi's identity as the Poison Sect's orphan had changed all of his plans with Long Fei Ye. He could sit by and do nothing, or leave everything to Gu Beiyue alone. But he couldn't do it.
He knew better than anyone that even if Gu Beiyue became the academy head, he still wouldn't be able to seize control of Medical City in a short period of time. He also wouldn't be able to give the Poison Sect a fair explanation. Thus, he had no choice but to make a move against Gu Yuntian and the Gu Clan.
Gu looked at the silent crowd and flashed a dazzling, flirtatious smile. "Since this young master has performed a great service, why shouldn't I go celebrate?"
Saying this, he flew away, leaving behind only one sentence. "Everyone, see you this afternoon!"
Mu Ling 'er chased after him, but couldn't catch up. She turned to Han Yunxi, tears streaming down her face again. "Han Yunxi … sob sob … Han Yunxi, what do we do?"
Han Yunxi took a deep breath at the sight of the sobbing Mu Ling 'er. She should rejoice that she was much stronger than Mu Ling' er. She said, "There's nothing we can do. If he's not afraid, then we shouldn't be afraid either! You come with us this afternoon, but you're not allowed to cry or you'll make a fool of yourself. Got it? "
Mu Ling 'er was still sobbing as Han Yunxi glared at her. Before she could speak, Mu Ling' er wiped away her tears. "Don't worry, I won't cry! I'll do as I say! "
At this moment, Chu Xifeng walked over with a purple envelope in his hands. Needless to say, it was a personal letter from Long Fei Ye to Han Yunxi.
"Esteemed wangfei, this one needs to go to the medical academy first to organize the evidence for the trial. You all rest well. See you in the afternoon. "Gu Beiyue left first.
Han Yunxi had Xu Donglin arrange a place for Mu Ling 'er to stay. Once she was done, she went back to her rooms to read the letter.
She already had eight letters hidden in her hands, but this was the ninth.
Although the first eight letters were all blank, she still looked forward to the ninth one. Perhaps this one wasn't empty after all. Perhaps she could find clues to solve this mystery.
Unfortunately, the ninth letter was still empty.
Han Yunxi felt disappointed, angry, and wronged. She muttered to herself, "Long Fei Ye, it's been almost two months. Don't you miss me? At least talk to me! "
Besides personal letters, Long Fei Ye would write her every few days to tell her about his injuries and the situation at Celestial Mountain. Then he'd teach her how to deal with the affairs of the south central regions. Although these letters were meant for her, they were open for everyone to read. During the few days they had been in Medical City, these letters had stopped.
Long Fei Ye would send special letters to Gu Beiyue about the affairs of Medical City. Although they were meant for Gu Beiyue, the letters were also open for everyone to read.
Han Yunxi had always known that Long Fei Ye had a group of secret intelligence agents who specialized in collecting information about various forces. Therefore, he had many types of letters and had a wide range of categories. There were also different procedures for sending and receiving letters according to the categories. He also had a specially trained Eagle Team to support the exchange of information.
This time, Long Fei Ye had sent letters to her and Gu Beiyue separately. The letter he sent to her mentioned Celestial Mountain and the south central regions, but didn't mention Medical City at all. The letter he sent to Gu Beiyue specifically focused on the situation at Medical City. Han Yunxi wasn't curious about this.
Although she was disappointed, she wasn't angry or disappointed.
Han Yunxi quickly composed herself and replied to Long Fei Ye with a smile. He sent her blank letters every day, and she sent him the same sentence every time. "Long Fei Ye, I miss you."
After sending the letter, Han Yunxi put away the purple blank letter as usual. This was already the ninth letter. There should be a tenth, right? She didn't know how many letters it would take for them to meet.
He had sent a letter a while ago saying that he was recuperating and wouldn't be able to leave the mountain for a year or so. Han Yunxi thought that after dealing with the affairs at Medical City, she would go back to the south central regions first, and then go to Celestial Mountain.
Ning Cheng had already retreated, and Long Fei Ye's letter clearly stated that after Ning Cheng retreated, the Baili Army would only defend and not attack. They would observe the situation and Northern Li's movements for a while before deciding whether to send troops.
It was now the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. Han Yunxi thought that after she went back to the south central regions to deal with the autumn harvest, she could make a trip to Celestial Mountain before the snow closed the mountain.
She had even thought about it. She would accompany Long Fei Ye to spend the winter on Celestial Mountain. Once the snow melted, she would go down the mountain. After all, the south central regions needed someone to hold down the fort. Otherwise, those aristocratic families would overturn the sky.
Han Yunxi trusted Long Fei Ye's letter so much. He had put in so much effort to make plans for the south central regions, hoping that she could help him as much as possible and let him recuperate.
Unfortunately, the letter Long Fei Ye sent her, regarding the situation at Celestial Mountain and the south central regions' administrative affairs, were all lies.
Han Yunxi's letters were all sent through the hands of several servants at the Nine Xuan Palace at the top of Celestial Mountain. Long Fei Ye was certain that the contents of these letters would definitely be revealed to that old fox. Therefore, he could only hide it from Han Yunxi for now. The real letters were all secretly sent to Gu Beiyue, and Gu Beiyue knew the truth.
At this time, Gu Beiyue was also in his room reading the letters secretly sent by the Shadow Guard. After he finished reading, he was stunned for a long time, not knowing what to think. In the end, he helplessly shook his head and smiled. "That's good, that's good. Finally, such a day has come. Long Fei Ye, I only hope that you will keep your promise! "
At this time, a Shadow Guard suddenly appeared. "Doctor Gu, His Highness didn't write a few words in the letter. He wanted this subordinate to tell you personally."
