Chapter 39 Only a fool would answer
Mei Liangyu and the other person went up to the second floor and found their own small clinic. They took out medicine trays and various medical tools from the cabinets and placed them on the table. The medicine bottles made different sounds as they were placed on the table.
Zhong Lishan looked in the mirror, dampened a handkerchief with warm water, and wiped the bloodstains from his neck. He glanced at Mei Liangyu, who was still fiddling with the medicine bottle, and said, "Shall I take you with me another day?"
Mei Liangyu didn't even turn his head: "Where to?"
"It wasn't me, it was you who just said you'd take Nangong Sui with you." Zhong Lishan frowned, looking thoughtfully at Mei Liangyu. "You two have a good relationship?"
"Take my junior sister to experience a high-level armored formation. What's there?" Mei Liangyu replied casually.
Zhong Lishan withdrew his gaze: "So you've accepted this junior sister?"
Mei Liangyu: "It was decided by my master, so I have no say in whether I approve or not?"
Zhong Lishan rolled up his sleeves and picked out the tiny fragments embedded in his arm. His expression was calm and composed, and his movements were steady as he picked them out. He said, "Didn't you think Nangong Sui was special and sparkly the first time you met her?"
Mei Liangyu was fiddling with different medicine bottles and mixing ointments when she spoke quickly: "When she went up to the interrogation platform, she was backlit, and happened to be facing away from the morning sun, so it looked like she was glowing."
Zhong Lishan: "Oh."
"What do you mean, 'oh'?" Mei Liangyu asked in a menacing tone.
Zhong Lishan stared at the wound: "Nangong Sui is indeed beautiful."
Mei Liangyu: "That's obvious."
Zhong Lishan added, "I just didn't expect that she would look better in your eyes than others do."
Mei Liangyu asked, "How beautiful?"
Zhongli Shan said, "The one you said was the most beautiful."
Mei Liangyu retorted, "Isn't that the most beautiful one?"
Zhong Lishan said in a deep voice, "It's not that bad yet."
Mei Liangyu, holding the medicine pot, turned to look at him: "Then tell me the most beautiful one."
Zhong Lishan answered without hesitation: "Su Tong".
Mei Liangyu sneered: "Shut up."
While picking through the debris from the wound, the two chatted non-stop, but once the wound was treated and the medicine was applied, they quieted down.
Yu Sui watched quietly as Shi Yuezhen treated Li Jinshuang.
The medical experts' secret techniques are specifically designed for people whose Five Elements Qi is reversed and disordered. When the Five Elements Qi in the human body is injured and becomes disordered, it is more painful than being cut with a knife. Walking, talking, and even blinking will affect the Qi in the body.
Shi Yuezhen couldn't help but sigh, Li Jinshuang's ability to rise from a military strategist to this point shows just how strong her pain tolerance is.
"It looks like she went to brave the enemy's formation alone," Shi Yuezhen said.
Yu Sui nodded in agreement.
Li Jinshuang truly has no friends. Due to family reasons, she is loyal to Xun Zhiya and will listen to Xun Zhiya's words, but she will never ask Xun Zhiya to go into battle with her.
“When military strategists set up a formation, they would set up many checkpoints inside. For a high-level, first-class armored formation like this, it is easy to get injured if one person tries to break through alone,” Shi Yuezhen said. “Military strategists also do not encourage disciples to try to break through the formation alone.”
Yu Sui asked, bewildered, "Senior sister, how long does a military formation last?"
Shi Yuezhen said, "Seven days, today is the first day, do you want to go too?"
Yu Sui thought about it for a moment. This time, it was opened by the military strategist himself, and it was a level one Black Wind City. There shouldn't be any other changes.
“I want to go, but I definitely won’t make it if I go alone. I might even get hurt again.” Yu Sui tilted her head at Li Jinshuang. “Look at her, even a fifth-level sorcerer is injured like this.”
She thought of Mei Liangyu: "My senior brother just said he would take me with him another day, but I don't know if he's reliable."
Shi Yuezhen smiled and said, "Your senior brothers are probably going to challenge the breakthrough realm. It would be more dangerous to follow them."
Yu Sui then looked at Li Jinshuang: "With her injuries like this, will she still be able to challenge the armored formation in a couple of days?"
Shi Yuezhen said, "I will help her calm the disordered five elements. The rest are just superficial injuries. They look serious, but they will be fine after the medicine is applied tonight. If she wants, it's not impossible."
Yu Sui moved a chair over and sat by the bedside, looking at the unconscious Li Jinshuang. She always dressed as a man, and even drew her eyebrows to look like a man. She usually had a stern and cold expression, looking like a noble young master.
Even in men's clothing, you can tell that Li Jinshuang is very beautiful.
Perhaps it's because she's so beautiful that she looks just like a man when she dresses up as one, and most people can't tell whether she's male or female.
At this moment, Li Jinshuang was seriously injured, her face was pale, and a sense of fragility filled her face. Her hair, which was usually tied up high, was let down by Shi Yuezhen to clean her wounds. Her dark hair fell loose as Shi Yuezhen cleaned her face and removed her makeup, restoring her original appearance.
Yu Sui propped her chin on one hand and looked at Li Jinshuang, saying softly, "She's really beautiful."
Shi Yuezhen nodded: "It would be better if we didn't dress up as men."
What reason would the Li family of Nanjing have to raise a girl like this?
Yu Suiying's dark eyes reflected Li Jinshuang's appearance. Looking at her face, neck, shoulders and back, she could see that after years of cultivation, there was not an ounce of excess fat on her body. Her strong lines and snow-white skin were captivating.
Why must one dress as a man to support the Li family?
Yu Sui was thinking absentmindedly when she heard the wind chime buzzing. She clicked on it and saw that it was a message sent by Gu Gan to "Gan".
She did not close the channel for Gu Gan to send back messages.
Gu Gan could only see the character "Gan" on the other party's side, but not the inscription, so he could not confirm the other party's identity.
At this moment, Gu Gan sent a message saying, "Since you have research on the wind-listening ruler and can bypass the communications institute's monitoring to send messages at will, can you also see different message information from people's wind-listening rulers?"
Yu Sui replied without changing his expression: "No."
Only a fool would tell you that.
Gu Gan then asked, "You can't control other people's 'listening scales'?"
Yu Sui replied, "No."
Gu Gan: "So what can you do?"
Yu Sui didn't reply to him.
Gu Gan stared at the unresponsive Tingfeng Chi, his teeth itching with anger. He had never been manipulated or threatened like this before, and he could not swallow this insult.
Ji Meng and Huo Xiao offered their advice from the side: "At least for now, this mysterious person is still on our side, so he's not in any danger, right?"
"If his target is the Floating Pagoda, he certainly wouldn't dare let the academy notice it, otherwise it wouldn't be good for his own actions," Huo Xiao calmly analyzed. "But we need to be careful with his ability to use the Wind-Listening Ruler."
Ji Meng raised his hand and said, "Let's try not to use the Wind Listening Ruler to talk about important things in the future."
Gu Gan said in a deep voice, "I never knew how to use the Wind Listening Ruler in the first place."
Ji Meng scratched his head again: "But sometimes the Wind Listening Ruler is really convenient."
“Since he can send a message without using the inscription, he can definitely control the Wind Listening Ruler. If he pretends to be you or me to send a message, it will be difficult to tell the difference,” Huo Xiao suggested. “In the future, when we send messages, we should create a mark that only we know, just in case.”
Ji Meng nodded: "This is good."
Gu Gan also thought the suggestion was good, and tapped the table, asking, "What kind of mark should we use?"
Yu Sui, who was far away in the medical family, watched with great interest as the three of them created the communication symbols through the Five Elements Light Core placed in Gu Gan's possession.
Your analysis is very logical and insightful; you're quite clever.
But that's how it is.
Shi Yuezhen was busy taking care of Li Jinshuang, so Yu Sui waited patiently. Just as Yu Sui took off her clothes after Li Jinshuang finished, another disciple suddenly called Shi Yuezhen away.
Yu Sui wasn't in a hurry; she lay down by the bed and played with the wind-listening ruler.
Zhong Lishan and Mei Liangyu, who were on the second floor, also finished tidying themselves up and came down.
While they were still on the stairs, the two saw Shi Yuezhen bustling around below.
Zhongli Shan asked, "Cang Shu didn't come?"
"He'll come later." Mei Liangyu looked down at the Listening Wind Ruler.
Xing Chun asked in the group, "Have you eaten?"
"Food," Cang Shu replied. "I brought food for Yuezhen from the dining hall. What would you like to eat?"
Xing Chun, filled with resentment, typed a line on the Wind Listening Ruler: "If you're eating with Yuezhen, then I won't go."
Mei Liangyu replied, "I ate at the clinic with Zhong Lishan."
Xing Chun: "I'm here! I'm here!"
Cang Shu blinked at Ting Feng Chi, puzzled.
Aren't you still going to come and eat with me and Yuezhen?
When Shi Yuezhen saw the two people come down, she asked them to help her prepare the ointment: "They are all external injuries, and they were also injured in Black Wind City. It is the same ointment you need."
Zhong Lishan and Mei Liangyu had both studied medicine, which is why Shi Yuezhen dared to ask them to prepare the medicine.
Zhong Lishan acted immediately. Mei Liangyu, who was lazily playing with the Wind Listening Ruler, was woken up by Zhong Lishan's elbow. Mei Liangyu frowned and glared at him before putting away the Wind Listening Ruler.
The medicine jars were labeled with compartment numbers. Zhong Lishan prepared the medicine quickly, and Mei Liangyu checked them again after receiving them to prevent any mistakes.
"Number one." Zhong Lishan handed him the prepared medicine pot.
Mei Liangyu carried the medicine pot to cubicle number one. The moment she lifted the curtain, her gaze fell unexpectedly on the person lying by the bed.
When Shi Yuezhen was called away, she was applying medicine to Yu Sui's back. After she left, Yu Sui didn't care and kept her clothes half off so that she could cool down.
Mei Liangyu was caught off guard by the sight of snow-white skin, a slightly hunched back, and grotesque red marks of varying lengths on her back. The visual impact of the delicate beauty and the brutal wounds made him react quickly and pull down the curtain.
Yu Sui turned around sharply and saw a corner of the fallen curtain swaying slightly.
Mei Liangyu reacted quickly; almost the instant his eyes caught something amiss, his body reacted. The curtain concealed the snow-covered interior of the cubicle. Mei Liangyu's brow twitched slightly as he heard Yu Sui's soft, gentle voice calling from inside: "Senior Brother?"
Only a fool would answer that.
Mei Liangyu did not answer, and put the medicine pot back on the table.
Zhong Lishan looked up at him, silently asking what he meant. Mei Liangyu looked in Shi Yuezhen's direction and said, "It's inconvenient. Let her go by herself."
Yu Sui arrived earlier than him, but the dressing still hasn't been changed.
Mei Liangyu didn't know how she did it.
Yu Sui originally wanted to get up and go outside to take a look, but when she saw Li Jinshuang frown and struggle to slowly wake up, she didn't get up and stayed by the bedside to watch her open her eyes.
"You're awake." Yu Sui waved to Li Jinshuang. "How are you feeling? If the Five Elements are still in disarray, I'll call your senior sister to come and take a look."
The room was brightly lit by candlelight, and Li Jinshuang's vision gradually cleared as she saw a delicate face with bright, watery eyes looking at her with concern. Her beautiful brows were slightly furrowed, and anyone who was looked at with such eyes would have a soft heart.
In a daze, Li Jinshuang saw another woman through Yu Sui, the first person who rushed to her bedside when she woke up from an illness as a child.
She was still somewhat dazed, and the blurry image of Yu Sui overlapping in her eyes made Li Jinshuang feel a pang of sorrow. Tears streamed down her face, her throat tightened, and she managed to softly call out with immense difficulty, "Mother."
Yu Sui was slightly taken aback.
She raised her hand to touch her face, looked at Li Jinshuang who was still not quite awake with a puzzled expression, and timidly shrank back: "I'm not that old, am I?"
What does it feel like to miss your mother?
What does it feel like to confide in your mother and seek comfort when you are hurt, sad, or wronged?
Looking at Li Jinshuang, whose eyes were filled with tears, Yu Sui couldn't imagine what was happening. She could only wait quietly for Li Jinshuang to come to her senses.
More injured disciples arrived at the clinic. Several people helped a disciple who was seriously injured and unable to walk, and they were about to rush towards the number one ward when Mei Liangyu stopped them: "Go to the second floor."
Shi Yuezhen had just come out from next door when she saw this scene. She called several disciples to the second floor and sighed, "Tonight is too busy. I need to call people over to help keep watch."
Mei Liangyu gestured towards cubicle number one: "Has my junior sister finished changing her dressing yet?"
Shi Yuezhen frowned in annoyance and hurriedly took the medicine pot inside to check on Yu Sui.
Mei Liangyu said to Zhong Lishan, "Why don't you go up to the second floor and show the person from earlier?"
Zhong Lishan slowly put down the wind-listening ruler in his hand and said, "I am not a disciple of the medical school either."
Mei Liangyu sneered: "Who gave you military strategists permission to set up your armored formation?"
Zhong Lishan: "..."
You're so good at talking.
