Bi Linglong was stunned, not expecting the two to be so resolute. She sighed softly. They had grown up together since childhood. Although there was no romantic love, there was still some affection between them. It was something that none of them wanted to see things come to this.
However, she quickly came to her senses and looked at Zu'an, asking, "What did they mean by their last words?"
Zu'an fell into deep thought. Gao Ying, who was not far away, said, "I'm afraid it's just a curse born of resentment. There were only so many people who came in this time. Shi Tong and the others have already been exposed. It's impossible for King Qi to plant any more experts. If that happens, all of us from our families might as well slit our throats."
Bi Linglong nodded: "That's right. This time, all our people were carefully selected. Everyone has undergone strict screening. It's already extremely unlikely that Shi Tong was able to sneak in. It's impossible for other experts to sneak in. You know, magical artifacts that can conceal one's cultivation level are not easy to find."
Zuan nodded secretly: "I hope it's as you say."
What they said makes sense. The emperor and the top experts in the crown prince's faction are not fools; how could they have created such a huge loophole?
Gao Ying smiled, a rare occurrence: "Besides, even if there are problems, with Lord Zu here, they will naturally be easily solved."
Having just been easily killed by Zu An, who was at the peak of the eighth rank, he really couldn't think of any danger that he couldn't handle.
Bi Linglong had a similar thought and looked at Zu An, saying, "Thank you."
Zuan laughed: "Now you know you didn't trust the wrong person, right?"
Bi Linglong blushed slightly. This was a secret between the two of them. She had solemnly asked him if he could trust her, and he had answered yes. But in truth, she wasn't entirely sure herself, and he could probably sense her emotions.
The two stared at each other, and an unusual atmosphere gradually filled the air.
"Cough cough..."
A soft cough came from the side: "Brother Pei is dying."
He really wanted to say that he was also nearing his end, and the two of them were still gazing at each other affectionately, as if we didn't exist.
Bi Linglong snapped out of her daze and ran over to check on the situation, her face flushed.
Zu'an followed. Pei You had just been hit by Shi Tong, his chest cavity had been pushed down, and he was obviously seriously injured. The fact that he had survived until now was a testament to his solid cultivation and strong will.
Bi Linglong hurriedly took out a few pills and made him take them. His complexion became a little rosier, but his injuries still showed no signs of improvement.
“He is too badly injured, I’m afraid…” Bi Linglong couldn’t help but feel a little sad. He did it to save her, and she had previously doubted his loyalty.
It's a pity he hasn't reached the seventh rank yet; otherwise, the recovery ability of a seventh-rank cultivator would at least be enough to save his life.
Zu An squatted down beside him and examined him for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Are you from the Pei family? Do you know Pei Mianman?"
Pei You was taken aback, but still answered weakly, "I know her... She's... my cousin. When we were little... I even taught her a few kung fu moves..."
He didn't understand why the other party would suddenly ask this question. If it weren't for the other party's momentum after defeating Shi Tong, he, who was now on the verge of death, wouldn't even bother to answer this inexplicable question.
Zuan nodded, then took out a pill from his pocket: "Try this."
Bi Linglong couldn't help but say, "I just gave him the most advanced wound medicine from the Imperial Hospital..."
The implication was clear: as the Crown Princess, she naturally carried the royal family's top-tier wound medicine. If even her medicine couldn't cure her, then other people's medicine would be even less effective.
Zuan smiled and said, "Give it a try."
He fed him the medicine and then channeled his vital energy into the other man's body to help him absorb the medicine's effects, while also nourishing his damaged internal organs, sternum, and so on.
Pei You tried his best to mobilize the remaining energy in his body to cooperate with the other party. After a while, he opened his eyes in surprise: "It seems to be working. Lord Zu, your medicine is too amazing."
Bi Linglong was startled and hurriedly checked his pulse through his sleeve. She felt that his injuries had actually stabilized, and judging from the speed of recovery, as long as he continued to heal like this, his life would be saved.
"It's good that it works." Zu An also breathed a sigh of relief. This medicine was the Jade Marrow Rejuvenation Pill obtained from Ji Dengtu, which was said to have the effect of bringing the dead back to life.
He used it a few times and felt it was second only to the "Brother Chun" red bottle he got from the system.
These precious elixirs were obtained from Ji Dengtu in the first place, and six remain. Naturally, they cannot be wasted. That's why I asked about his relationship with Pei Mianman. If their relationship is not good, then I can only apologize.
Actually, he still had a bottle of "Brother Chun's Red Bottle" on him; as long as the other person had a breath left, even if they were seriously injured, he could bring them back to life. However, he wouldn't waste his life-saving item on someone he barely knew.
He then went to Gao Ying's side. Relatively speaking, his injuries were slightly less severe, so he took out some of the spiritual medicine that Chu Youzhao had prepared for him and gave it to him to take.
"Thank you!" Gao Ying quickly sat down to meditate and regulate her breathing, and her aura gradually became solid and stable.
Bi Linglong came up to Zu An and looked at him with some curiosity: "Where did you get this medicine? Why is it better than the one from the Imperial Hospital?"
"A lecherous middle-aged doctor." Zu An was actually quite shocked. He had thought that Ji Dengtu was just a divine doctor in the Mingyue City area, but he didn't expect that his medical skills were even better than those of the imperial physicians in the palace. His background was worth pondering.
"Huh?" Bi Linglong looked at her strangely, thinking to herself that birds of a feather flock together.
Upon hearing that he was a lecherous middle-aged man, she lost interest in asking more questions.
