Seven days later.
Guiyunlou opened for business.
Although Qi Yunxiao's face was still a little pale, he was already able to move freely.
It has to be said that when men get ruthless, they really can be ruthless.
For the past seven days, Qi Yunxiao has been using spiritual spring water for everything he eats, drinks, and cleansing his wounds.
In order to drink more water, he practiced squatting in place even when his shoulder was unable to exert any force. After sweating profusely, he immediately drank water and used the spring water to wash the wounds that were stained with sweat.
The effects of the spiritual spring water have been maximized.
Shen Qingyu had a vague idea of what was going on, but she also knew that he wasn't the type to act recklessly, so she let him be.
When Qi Yunxiao stood pale-faced in front of Guiyun Tower, openly welcoming guests from all directions with Shi Jixian, the commander of the Imperial Guards, everyone was shocked!
This guy is willing to risk his life for money!
He was shot and bleeding profusely, his life hanging in the balance, only seven days ago, and he's already standing up again!
General Li, who had come to show his support, patted Qi Yunxiao on the shoulder and said to Shen Qingyu with a smile, "You girl, you have good taste! Your man is a real man! If he hadn't married you and had children, I really would have been willing. Hahahaha!"
Shen Qingyu forced a smile with a blank face: "You have good taste too."
Listen to me say thank you?
When the powerful and influential people in the capital saw that Shi Jixian was one of the owners of Guiyunlou, they were all stunned.
What does this person need so much money for?
Money is useless to someone who is destined to have no offspring.
Some people thought of it a step further; after glancing at Shi Jixian, they couldn't help but look up at the sky.
In any case, such matters can only be speculated upon, not asked aloud, otherwise it would be considered speculating about the emperor's will.
You're so focused on figuring out what the emperor is thinking, what are you trying to do?
However, this did not stop everyone from working together to flatter him.
As a result, Guiyunlou was packed with guests on its first day of opening, and later guests had to wait in line because there were no seats available.
Of course, the nobles and nobles wouldn't dare to sit in a row waiting for their meals. They would have their stewards and guards wait there first, and then come over when there were seats available.
Li Jiaoyue also came.
However, she was carried in through the back door while sitting in a recliner.
Because of the wound's unusual location, although Li Jiaoyue didn't feel much pain anymore, she still dared not walk, fearing that it would tear open and be difficult to stitch up.
Shen Qingyu has been visiting Li Jiaoyue every morning and evening these days. Although the imperial physicians are treating her, Shen Qingyu has provided her with enough spiritual spring water and washes her wounds with it every day.
Li Jiaoyue's injuries are recovering well.
As soon as he entered, Shen Qingyu grabbed his hand: "I already told you you didn't need to come today, why did you insist on coming?"
Li Jiaoyue laughed and said, "If I don't come, you might leave Daxia tomorrow, and who knows when you'll come back next time? How could I bear to let you go?"
Shen Qingyu glared at her: "Don't think I don't know anything."
Qi Yunxiao sent her a letter, and then she came over.
The reason she risked her life like this was to cooperate with Qi Yunxiao's plan!
However, after listening to Qi Yunxiao's analysis, Shen Qingyu also felt that that person could not be kept alive and needed to be dealt with as soon as possible.
Sure enough, General Li got into a good time drinking with some colleagues and was helped out of the front door, while Li Jiaoyue was carried in a reclining chair through the back door to get into the car.
Just as Li Jiaoyue's recliner entered the backyard, she saw Guan Xiangfei standing in the corner of the backyard, looking at her with a forlorn expression: "You lied to me."
Li Jiaoyue was still sitting on the recliner carried by two strong women, looking at Guan Xiangfei with a slight frown: "You really came out?"
Guan Xiangfei glanced at Li Jiaoyue, then at Qi Yunxiao who came out from the other side: "Today, the jailers were chatting about the opening of Guiyun Tower. They said that all the major families were there, and that you were there too..."
"Isn't this just a ploy to lure me out?"
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat: This guy isn't stupid! His analytical skills are pretty good, aren't they?
However, that doesn't matter anymore.
Qi Yunxiao took a few steps toward the center of the courtyard: "That's right, I wanted to lure you out. I wanted to see just how powerful you really are!"
Guan Xiangfei glanced at Qi Yunxiao and grinned, "I'm not fighting you. You were just seriously injured a few days ago. Even if I win, it won't be a fair fight."
Hey!
They actually follow the rules of the underworld quite well!
Qi Yunxiao said arrogantly, "In a head-on confrontation, you are no match for me. Even if I am not fully recovered from my injuries, you are still no match for me."
Guan Xiangfei, spurred on by Qi Yunxiao's suddenly rising aura, also felt a surge of fighting spirit: "Then let's try! But if you die, don't blame me!"
"Please!" Qi Yunxiao's fighting spirit rose even higher.
Shen Qingyu pulled the strong woman carrying the reclining chair towards a corner, and ordered the guards to protect her and the others to avoid being affected by the aftereffects of their attack.
The two started fighting, using their fists, going back and forth, banging and clanging.
At first, Guan Xiangfei disdained to hit Qi Yunxiao's injured areas, and only used his fists and feet to target Qi Yunxiao's lower body, head, face, and throat.
Who knew that Qi Yunxiao would be so ruthless and show no gratitude whatsoever.
Guan Xiangfei quickly got into a real fight, showing no mercy, and the two immediately became locked in a fierce battle.
Shen Qingyu's breathing tightened, but she didn't dare to utter a sound, afraid of distracting Qi Yunxiao. She simply held Li Jiaoyue's hand.
To everyone's surprise, Li Jiaoyue was also nervous, her palms slightly damp.
Shen Qingyu glanced at Li Jiaoyue in surprise: "Even people who frequently go to the battlefield get so nervous that their palms sweat?"
She still can't let go of Qi Yunxiao?
This is truly unexpected.
Soon, the two parted ways.
Qi Yunxiao's shoulder wound reopened, and bloodstains soaked his clothes.
