Han Yunxi gripped Gu's fist tightly. Gu tilted his head and whispered, "Poison Girl, let go. Be good."
In the past, he would've been overjoyed if Han Yunxi had taken the initiative to hold his hand. But now, he was trying his best to restrain his anger so that he wouldn't lose his rationality and vent his anger on Han Yunxi.
He was already on the verge of losing control, yet he could still call her 'Poison Girl' so gently. Just how much did he dote on her?
"I won't let go!"
Han Yunxi didn't let go. Instead, she pried open his fist and held his hand tightly. Gu's heart skipped a beat. He stared blankly at his and Han Yunxi's tightly interlocked hands.
If this moment could last forever, he would accept it even if he was consigned to eternal damnation by the people around him calling him a 'monster'.
Unfortunately, he didn't even have the chance to do so.
He quickly regained his senses and steeled himself to break free. But to his surprise, Gu Beiyue gripped his other hand with the same strength as Han Yunxi's. It was so tight that it gave him the illusion that they would never be separated.
"Old Ghost, don't fall into his trap," Gu Beiyue whispered.
"Old Ghost, I'll protect you this time! Trust me! "Han Yunxi's eyes flashed with ruthlessness.
Gu Qishao finally calmed down. He'd never had someone hold his hand so tightly before, much less both of them.
Old Ghost was the fearless Gu Qi Sha; Xiao Qi was Medical City's monster.
They called him Old Ghost and not Xiao Qi. This was to tell him that no matter who he was, no matter what his past was, and no matter how strange his constitution was, he would always be the Gu they knew, the same Gu Qi Sha.
For the first time in his life, he realized that there were people in this world who would protect him.
How could he let them down?
He smiled.
He gripped Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue's hands tightly. Although his right hand was reluctant to part with them, he still released them with his left hand.
As a friend, there was no need for them to support him. As long as they stood side by side, that would be enough!
How could he not see the intention of this group of hecklers?
This was clearly a trap. It was clearly a trap that was carefully prepared to deal with him, Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue.
Ever since his identity was exposed, many people had been keeping an eye on him.
Gu Beiyue had used the trial as an excuse to let him return to Medical City. If he used force to kill someone today, it would definitely cause a huge commotion. With how vicious these people were, they might even turn him into a terrifying monster, a public enemy that threatened the safety of Cloud Realm Continent. She might even discover the secret of his immortality.
Once the secret of his immortality was exposed, the fact that the Poison Sect was raising Poison Gu humans would be confirmed. At that time, both the medical academy and the Poison Sect would be hard pressed to escape the blame.
Gu didn't know why he had an undying body, nor did he know what the Poison Sect's Poison Gu people looked like. Was he one of them? He only knew that he had to keep this secret.
In the past, it was for his own sake. Today, it was for the Poison Sect and Medical City, for Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue.
Keeping silent was his most rational choice.
He fell silent and smiled as he looked at the Northern Li imperial physician and the people in the crowd who were clamoring for him to come out.
Seeing Gu's heartless smile, the hecklers withered. But the Northern Li imperial physician spoke up again. "It looks like Gu Yuntian can't explain Xiao Qi's constitution. Academy Head Gu, Old Man suggested that the medical academy set up a special research team … "
"What's your name?" Han Yunxi cut him off Coldly.
Han Yunxi could repeat the imperial physician's words without missing a word. This fellow wanted to use Cloud Realm Continent's safety as an excuse to ask Medical City to set up a special research team to study Gu's body.
How was this any different from Gu Yuntian's actions? Gu Yuntian was a medical maniac who would do anything for the sake of medical research. This imperial physician, on the other hand, only cared about Cloud Realm Continent's safety. Both of them were equally selfish!
Han Yunxi stared Icy at the Northern Li imperial physician, her gaze no less vicious than Gu's.
Although Bai Yanqing had only decided to pretend to be Northern Li's Imperial Physician Nazha Delin after arriving at Medical City, the man lived in seclusion in Northern Li. Very few people had seen his true face, and Bai Yanqing had disguised himself as well. How could it be easy to see through him? But for some reason, Han Yunxi's stare made Bai Yanqing feel a little guilty.
He avoided Han Yunxi's gaze and rose to his feet before bowing politely. "This one is Northern Li's Imperial Physician Nazha Delin."
Han Yunxi's face was expressionless as she asked, "What's your rank?"
"Fifth-rank divine physician," Bai Yanqing replied.
Han Yunxi suddenly sneered. "Fifth-rank divine physician? Very good! Have you heard of 'suspended animation'? "
Suspended animation?
"This one doesn't know what esteemed wangfei means?" Bai Yanqing was confused.
"You don't know about suspended animation?" Han Yunxi asked again.
"This …" Bai Yanqing finally realized that it was a trap, but he remained calm. "This is the first time this one has heard of it. Please enlighten me, esteemed wangfei."
"Suspended animation is also called a weak death. It's not a true death. Simply put, it means that you look like you're dead, but you're not. According to Gu Yuntian's records, they checked Gu's breathing and found that he was no longer breathing. After checking his pulse, they thought that Gu was dead. But in reality, Gu isn't dead. He's just in a suspended animation. There's no such thing as resurrection in this world! "
Bai Yanqing laughed out loud. "Esteemed wangfei, do you think Gu is in suspended animation just because you say so? Did the medical school's dean make a wrong diagnosis? Although Gu Yuntian is guilty, it's not good for you to slander him like this, right? "
The crowd wasn't convinced by Han Yunxi and they all laughed along with Bai Yanqing. The few hecklers started hooting again.
"Esteemed wangfei, who would believe that Gu Yuntian can't even distinguish between life and death? Gu Qishao clearly died once! "
"That's right. He's not simple to be able to resurrect from the dead!"
"Of course, monsters aren't simple. In my opinion …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Han Yunxi suddenly shot out a poison needle into the abdomen of the person who spoke. The person opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, he suddenly fell to the ground and stopped moving.
No one expected Han Yunxi to suddenly use poison. Gu Beiyue and Gu were also shocked.
"Han Yunxi, what are you doing?" The person's companion asked angrily as he helped him up.
Han Yunxi's face was covered with a layer of frost, making people afraid to approach her. She said, "Murder!"
Instantly, the crowd fell silent. The companion was so shocked that he hurriedly went to check the unconscious person's breathing. Once he did so, he was so shocked that he quickly let go.
"He's really dead! He's not breathing! "
"She … She killed, killed someone! Killed someone! "
Han Yunxi glanced at Bai Yanqing. "Do you think he's dead or alive?"
Bai Yanqing hurriedly came over to check the person's breathing and pulse. Not only did he feel the pulse on his wrist, he also felt the pulse on his neck. He guessed that Han Yunxi wanted to prove that he was in suspended animation. But this person wasn't breathing and didn't have a pulse. How could he be in suspended animation? He was obviously already dead.
"Why, as a fifth-grade Divine Doctor, you can't even determine whether a person is dead or alive?" Han Yunxi asked again.
Bai Yanqing hesitated for a moment before giving a clear answer. "He's dead!"
Han Yunxi smiled Cold. She looked at Gu Yuntian, who was kneeling at the side in silence. She asked again, "Gu Yuntian, do you think this person is dead or alive?"
Gu Yuntian seemed to be immersed in his own world and didn't answer Han Yunxi for a long time.
"Gu Yuntian, if I say this person is alive, would you believe me? If I say that you even misjudged Gu's life and death, would you believe me? "Han Yunxi tried to provoke him.
Gu Yuntian suddenly raised his head to look at her. His brows were tightly furrowed and his face was serious. Without Han Yunxi's urging, he dragged the shackles and chains towards the "deceased" like a madman. He first checked the person's breathing and then seriously checked the person's pulse.
How could he make such a low-level mistake? He didn't believe it!
"He's dead!" He was very sure. He was also very sure that Xiao Qi was already dead back then. The reason why Xiao Qi could be resurrected was definitely because of Xiao Qi's body constitution.
He looked at Han Yunxi with disdain and told her again, "He's dead! I can't be wrong! Xiao Qi was indeed dead back then! "
Han Yunxi's eyes were overflowing with murderous intent. She couldn't wait to kick Gu Yuntian, this perverted old thing, to death.
He had caused so much trouble for Gu. Wasn't that enough? And now, he still wanted to find trouble for Gu?
It seemed that Gu Beiyue's judgment on Gu Yuntian wasn't enough!
"You're wrong! Nazha Delin, you're wrong too! Watch carefully! "
As Han Yunxi spoke, she squatted beside the "deceased" and used her fingers to press on the "deceased's" eyeballs, causing the pupils to change shape. However, once she let go, the "deceased's" pupils returned to normal.
"A dead person's pupils will disperse. His pupils can still move. He's not dead!" Han Yunxi explained word by word.
The deceased's pupils would disperse because the muscles were loose. This "deceased's" pupils could still return to normal after being pressed, which was enough to prove that he was not dead.
Gu Yuntian's face was full of shock. He suddenly pushed Han Yunxi away and checked the "deceased's" pupils. Bai Yanqing also came forward. When the two of them saw the truth, they were both shocked.
Han Yunxi's heart was filled with anger. She pushed Gu Yuntian to the side. When Bai Yanqing saw this, he actually consciously retreated.
She took a hair rope and tied it to the "deceased's" finger. Very quickly, the finger was filled with blood and swollen with bruises.
"The blood is still circulating. How could he be dead?" Han Yunxi stared coldly at Gu Yuntian and Bai Yanqing. "Don't the two of you know such basic knowledge?"
The two of them were speechless. Bai Yanqing's eyes were filled with complex emotions, while Gu Yuntian kept shaking his head and muttering something to himself.
Han Yunxi ordered someone to take a small chicken feather and placed it on the "deceased's" nostrils. She said angrily, "The two of you, take a good look."
Not only Bai Yanqing and Gu Yuntian, but everyone present looked over. Everyone looked carefully and clearly saw that the chicken feather had been blown by the "deceased's" nostrils.
Heavens! The person was really not dead!
"Impossible … impossible …" Gu Yuntian fell to the ground and muttered to himself like a fool.
Bai Yanqing looked at Han Yunxi and was about to explain himself when Han Yunxi suddenly threw the thick pile of evidence in Bai Yanqing's face. She roared …
