A sharp wind swept across her face. Gu You'an hugged her arms, and bamboo leaves turned into sharp blades that cut through her clothes, causing blood to seep out. The sound of the zither was deafening and incessant. Gu You'an frowned as she looked at Tianji in front of her.
As the music ended, Gu Youan lay on the ground, her meridians severed, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood. Jian Nan slid down in front of her and took the blood she coughed up with both hands.
Jiannan suppressed his anger, "That's enough, that's enough."
Tianji's expression softened. "Take her away. Her meridians are all severed. Once she recovers, she can become a high-level Celestial Master."
Gu Youan lay dying in Jian Nan's arms, as Jian Nan continuously channeled his inner energy into her. "So what if she's a high-level Celestial Master? She could have cultivated slowly and improved her cultivation level. You're clearly taking revenge for personal reasons!"
Tianji looked at Gu Youan's pale face and said, "Instead of arguing with me here, you should take her away quickly and go to find Qingyang. I believe Qingyang needs her too."
"When both the alchemist and the medicine practitioner suffer severe injuries at the same time, the Gu worms within their bodies will unleash tremendous power."
Jiannan's body sank down. "Tianji, is this your real purpose?"
His eyes were dark and unfathomable. "But why involve her? You know she loves beauty. Now, with all these scars, if she finds out about your scheme, what do you think she'll think?"
Tianji took out a box of medicine. "This is a muscle-regenerating ointment. It's not your scheme, it's ours. Since Lord Rumei and Lord Yuan'an value her so much, I believe she can save Qingyang!"
Jiannan sighed, then looked up at him. "It was your scheme, not mine. I'm not that despicable. Xuanji entered the Emperor's Palace alone. Whatever her purpose was, she shouldn't be a spoil or a tool for you to fight over."
"Jiannan, I think you've lost your mind. Don't forget..."
Gu Youan coughed lightly, her blood-stained hands clutching Jian Nan's clothes. "I feel terrible."
Jiannan glanced at Tianji and said, "I will not argue with you today. Her assessment ends here."
Jiannan carried her to the cave. The bright little girl lay in his arms like a piece of paper. If he had known it would end like this, he would not have agreed to their plan.
Bo Yan was also somewhat surprised when he saw Jian Nan rushing over. "This is..."
Jiannan was breathing rapidly. "I'm fine. She was injured by Tianji's music. I need to use Qingyang's blood to save her."
Bo Yan frowned. "Ordinary music wouldn't have hurt her like this. What did you do?"
Jiannan gave a wry smile. "Didn't you see, Boyan? Now only you can get us out of here."
Among them, Boyan was the most gentle and kind.
“I know your concerns. If Lord Rumei and Lord Yuan’an find out that she is injured like this, her assessment will have to start all over again.”
They have been here for many years. Is it only by becoming one of the Twelve Messengers that they can leave? If Xuanji's assessment starts again, they don't know how much longer they will have to stay here. Year after year, the scenery outside the mountain changes rapidly.
Boyan felt her pulse and sighed, "Let me take you away!"
The moment she saw Gu Youan, she knew that this little girl had countless connections with them.
Bo Yan took Gu You'an's hand and asked, "Tianji wouldn't normally act so impulsively. What did you do during this assessment?"
Jiannan was speechless for a moment. Was this the time to discuss these things?
"Our top priority should be to get her to meet with Qingyang as soon as possible."
Boyan sighed, "I usually turn a blind eye to what you do, but what you've done today is really too much. Her affairs will also reach Lady Rumei."
Looking at Gu Youan's injuries, Boyan said, "This was clearly a fatal blow."
Jiannan grabbed Boyan's arm, "We still need your help to keep it a secret from Lady Rumei."
Boyan shook his head. "Do you really think that Lord Rumei, Lord Yuan'an, and Haoyue from the academy are unaware of this?"
Jiannan shut his mouth, and all around was silent. If they went out now, they would surely alert the people outside the mountain. But if they couldn't get out, Gu You'an's life would be in imminent danger. He pondered for a moment and realized that the only way to save them was to bring Qingyang in. But Qingyang had not yet shown up.
Jiannan's mind was in complete turmoil. He looked into Boyan's eyes and said, "The only way to save her now is for you and me to join forces."
"you mean……"
"Boyan, this is a setup I orchestrated to meet Qingyang, but Xuanji is now unconscious. I beg you to save her."
Having known each other for many years, Boyan was the most composed and had the deepest inner strength among them. "I beg you to help her protect her heart meridian. I will go outside the mountains to find Qingyang."
Boyan stopped him, then shook his head hesitantly, "It's too late."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a storm brewed. "I have a way to save her."
Boyan looked at Fengyun helplessly, "Your lightness skill is getting better and better."
Fengyun understood the meaning behind her words, so he could only lower his head and scratch his head, "I won't do it again next time."
Jiannan looked at Fengyun, trying to catch his emotions on his face, "What method will you use to save her?"
Fengyun acts erratically and unpredictably, and his words and actions are often baffling. "What method do you have to save him? A life is at stake now."
“Jiannan, if we work together, we can save her. If we transfer our internal energy to her, her meridians will heal automatically.”
Jiannan pushed Fengyun hard, "Are you kidding me? If you channel your inner energy into her, she can heal her wounds on her own."
Feng Yun chuckled, "Anyone who didn't know better would think you and her were involved in some kind of love potion."
Feng Yun's words were pointed, and Boyan patted him on the shoulder, "Alright, let's hurry up and save them."
Gu Youan's breath grew weaker and weaker. Jian Nan held her hand and said, "Transfer your inner strength to her."
Fengyun and Boyan exchanged a glance and placed their hands on Jiannan's back.
Suddenly, the weather changed, and a huge vortex formed above the three of them. Gu Youan felt an immense force pulling at her, as if it wanted to devour her.
"Host, wake up!" In her dazed state, she heard countless voices in her mind.
A wave of blood washed over her, and she suddenly opened her eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood.
She struggled to lift her head and look into Jiannan's eyes. "Don't type anymore, my body can't take it."
The three people's different internal energies were inputted into her body, along with her own martial arts techniques, which were constantly tearing at her body.
These three internal forces caused her meridians to throb wildly, and finally, the meridians were connected.
"I want to drink water!" she mumbled, her mouth agape, as if the three streams of heat were scorching her body.
Fresh blood gushed out; this was from taking a highly nourishing medicinal soup!
"Fengyun, what's wrong with her?"
Bo Yan bent down to take her pulse. "She's already better. Once she integrates our internal energy, her body will be fully recovered."
Feng Yun teased, "I can see you care about her a lot, but don't let her bewitch you."
Jiannan lifted Gu Youan's head and fed her water little by little.
“She’s the only woman among the seven of us. If I don’t care about her, do you think I care about you, a grown man? Fengyun, I think your martial arts have declined recently.”
“I’m just worried that you’ll get involved. She’s naturally alluring, and any man who gets entangled with her will not have a good ending.”
Jiannan gently covered Gu Youan's ears, "That's enough. She came to the Emperor's Ship to become a highly skilled assassin, not an assassin who uses her body to seduce others. Don't bring up her naturally alluring body anymore."
Bo Yan said angrily, "Enough!"
Feng Yun's curious gaze swept over Gu Youan. "I understand."
Fengyun wasn't annoyed by their attitude. They had known each other for many years and naturally knew each other's temperaments. When Gu Youan entered the Emperor's Ship, everyone's attitude towards her had already exceeded that towards a newcomer. Tianji seemed to have hurt Gu Youan, but Gu Youan could also use this time to improve her internal strength and take her cultivation to the next level.
Fengyun lowered his head and pondered for a moment. It seemed he needed to ask some questions. The back mountain was about to become even more lively.
Bo Yan and Feng Yun exchanged a glance, and immediately understood what the other was thinking. With Qing Yang and Jian Nan involved, things had clearly gotten out of his control.
Gu Youan held Jiannan's hand, "Stop feeding me, I'm going to choke."
Jiannan smiled and put down the cup. "You can joke with me now? Xuanji, you worried me to death."
Gu Youan smiled and said, "I was just unconscious. Don't use such powerful internal energy next time, it will also take a toll on your body."
Men tend to cultivate masculine internal energy, while women tend to cultivate feminine internal energy. However, she couldn't withstand the combined internal energy of the three men. She sighed, "Don't worry, I'm much better now."
When Tianji asked her why that day, she couldn't answer. Qingyang was in a coma, and the Gu worms in her body were acting strangely, making it impossible for her to sleep peacefully every day. Perhaps from the day she entered the cave, their fates were already closely intertwined.
Gu Youan looked around but couldn't find Qingyang. Jiannan pulled her hand and said, "Don't look for him, he's not here."
A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes. "Do you only have eyes for Qingyang, and not for me, the dashing and charming one?"
Jiannan moved closer, looking at her with his bright eyes, "You really scared me to death. I almost went outside the mountains to bring Qingyang back."
Gu Youan sighed. This was something they had discussed beforehand, but they didn't expect that everything would become uncontrollable after the formation was activated.
She shook her head. "Don't doubt Tianji's abilities. I believe he can control the intensity."
"Believe? You almost became a bloody mess."
She chuckled softly, "Didn't I come back to life?"
"I will be in charge of all the assessments from now on."
Gu Youan stroked her hair. If the Gu family was related to the Sheng family of Shengguo, then Jiannan in front of him was inextricably linked to him.
She tilted her head and looked at him, "You're so good to me!"
Jiannan chuckled and said, "Of course, we can only get out of the back mountain if you live." He had been trapped in the back mountain for a long time.
Gu Youan examined her own internal energy and found that she had already become a mid-level Celestial Master.
