As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.

Qin Zhaoyue's hesitation was fleeting. She pursed her lips, pinched Pei Xueqiao's nose, and leaned down.

He blew a breath of immortal air and pressed on her chest repeatedly, but the problem was that Pei Xueqiao showed no signs of waking up at all.

In the usual way a TV series unfolds, since the female lead has personally taken action, he should suddenly spit out a mouthful of water and then cough violently.

However, despite the emergency treatment continuing for quite some time, there was still no improvement.

Qin Zhaoyue's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she really died here?

She looked up and gazed at the water, but all she could see was water; she couldn't see a single person.

I wonder if Yin Zhe and Liu Yan won, and if they were able to find her.

Therefore, mountains may crumble, and people may run away; in critical moments, you can't rely on anyone.

In this critical moment, Qin Zhaoyue couldn't help but have an idea: why not just dump him?

Anyway, nobody saw it...

The sinister little hand reached out, just as it touched the back of the neck and was about to exert force, but the palm felt sticky. When it was pulled out, it was covered in blood.

After turning him over a bit, I saw a wound about two palms wide on the back of his neck, which was still oozing blood.

So it turns out that after all that fuss, it wasn't just a matter of choking on water and suffocating; he also suffered external injuries.

This is normal. When the waves come, it's impossible to control your body. Although Qin Zhaoyue was lucky and wasn't hit by anything, the water flow alone made her whole body ache.

If she, at the fifth rank, is like this, then what about Pei Xueqiao, this weakling?

Sigh... I told you to leave it at the county office, but you wouldn't listen.

Qin Zhaoyue tore a strip of cloth from her clothes and covered the wound on the back of his neck.

The heavy rain continued, and it was impossible to find a clean, dry cloth. They could only make do with pressing on the cloth to see if it could stop the bleeding.

In addition, she placed her palm on his chest, just as she remembered Meng Jian protecting his heart meridian.

Whether it works or not, let's try anything, even if it's a long shot.

"Go in, go in!"

Qin Zhaoyue possessed cultivation but lacked any cultivation techniques, and aside from when she was polishing flying needles, she hadn't actively used them much.

She can control her inner energy simply by thinking, or to put it bluntly, by imagining what it would look like if the inner energy flowed into the other person's body and enveloped their internal organs.

As her thoughts became clearer, her inner energy flowed into Pei Xueqiao's body through her palm.

"Be gentle, don't kill him, be gentle...huh?"

Qin Zhaoyue was stunned. She had originally planned to use her true energy to protect her internal organs and see if she could hold out until the Xuanji Guard arrived.

As a result, after the true energy entered Pei Xueqiao's body, it suddenly became uncontrollable and kept rushing upwards.

"Hey? Get down, get down!"

No matter how she imagined it, it wouldn't obey her commands, and she was terrified.

“Mmm…” Just then, Pei Xueqiao suddenly let out a soft moan.

Qin Zhaoyue: ?

The little head held a big question mark, completely bewildered by what had happened.

Because of his dazed state, he forgot to retract his palm, and his true energy continued to flow in.

The situation remains the same; it is completely out of control and will spontaneously surge as soon as it leaves the palm.

At first, it was all aimed at the head, but then it started to move around inside the body, from the internal organs to the limbs.

Within a few breaths, Qin Zhaoyue could clearly feel her heart beating.

At this moment, she finally realized that her true energy might have the effect of healing injuries.

Qin Zhaoyue withdrew her hand and touched the back of his neck again. The wound that had just opened had now closed.

The wound was tight, and it felt hard to the touch, as if it had already scabbed over.

Qin Zhaoyue: ……

No? That fast?

What a load of rubbish! There wasn't even an instruction manual. I never even realized I had such abilities until now.

But when I used acupuncture on the back of my hand before, it didn't recover so quickly. Could it be a new ability I just gained after advancing to the fifth rank?

Thinking back to how I rolled around in the water, it seems I wasn't really injured, just a little sore.

Verifying this is simple; just cut yourself.

Just then, Pei Xueqiao opened her eyes, and after a few moments of stunned silence, she suddenly widened her eyes and trembled.

It was pouring rain, and he was tied to a tree trunk, his clothes disheveled and his shoulders exposed.

The sixth princess held him by the back of the neck, her head bowed in front of him, her wet hair falling on his face and tickling him a little.

this……

Their eyes met unexpectedly, and the atmosphere became slightly awkward.

Qin Zhaoyue released her hand and slowly raised her body.

Snap!

"He's awake but doesn't make a sound, just staring at people with those eyes, are he trying to scare them?"

Pei Xueqiao was stunned by the clean, sharp slap in the face; this was not what he had imagined.

"No...no..."

Qin Zhaoyue's heart pounded with fear.

Although it was to save someone, they ended up kissing. If the other person became attached to her, it would be troublesome. Most importantly, it was her true qi ability.

Back in Mingyan County, I heard Meng Jian and Sui Mo say that a martial artist's true energy is generally not enough to save a person.

Only by practicing the corresponding techniques can one achieve the effect of healing injuries.

Qin Zhaoyue had never even seen a single cultivation manual, let alone practiced it.

She worried that revealing herself rashly would attract unwanted attention, and that someone might use her as a medicinal ingredient...

I moved to a different spot and rested against the tree trunk.

This tree has lush foliage, with only a few drops of water falling, making it a good hiding place.

Looking down at the rushing river, one wonders how far this breach will affect.

On the other side, Liu Yan found a high slope and gathered a few Imperial Guards scattered around.

Using whatever materials they had, they managed to build a simple shelter to protect the princess from the wind and rain.

Then they set up a shed, painstakingly lit a bonfire, and raised the banner of the Imperial Guard.

That's all we can do. The Imperial Guards have all been swept away by the torrent. Even those at the fourth rank couldn't control themselves while they were in it. They'll probably be swept a distance away before they can return.

The "momentum" of the flowing flames enveloped Qin Zhaoqiong, and one could feel that the vitality within her body had become extremely dim.

I've never encountered anything like this before, and I've never even heard of it.

If the suppression is released, the raging true energy will instantly shatter his internal organs, but suppressing the true energy will also suppress his life force.

Qin Zhaoqiong's face was now bluish-purple, and she had fallen into a coma, showing no signs of life, and even her breathing had become barely perceptible.

The day Liu Yan mentioned earlier was the time he could hold out, not Qin Zhaoqiong.

Given the current situation, if a cure cannot be found, it's hard to say whether he'll even live for another day.

His mind raced, and he wasn't entirely without a solution.

If Yin Zhe were to suppress the Princess's internal energy and he were to be in charge of the journey, perhaps they could make it back to Fengjing in time to seek help from Chu Xinglan, the official in charge of the Ziwei Terrace.

But Longmen County had at least two sorcerers; if they were lost, what would become of the remaining people...?

Liu Yan frowned deeply, his face ashen, his usual aloof and charming demeanor completely gone, and he was at a loss for what to do.
