Huang Xi huddled in the corner, not daring to speak, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Hong Ling leave.
"You saw the expression on your older sister's face just now, why didn't you say anything?" Green Embroidery said irritably.
"I... I don't know why, but I find my older sister really scary now—" Huang Xi said with lingering fear. "I'm really worried that she'll fight with Lan Ying."
Green Embroidery said irritably, "If you don't side with her, she naturally won't treat you well. Don't forget her previous status!"
Huang Xi nodded. "Oh, I understand."
"Alright, you should go back now. If you see Gu Liyan, tell us immediately! Don't impulsively confront him, lest he hold a grudge against you again." Green Embroidery said with a serious expression.
Huang Xi thought to himself, "I think I've already offended him..."
Lan Ying separated from the other girls and went to the kitchen to find something to eat, but unexpectedly discovered a white-clad figure lying in the pavilion.
"Hey? Isn't that person...?" Lan Ying walked over curiously.
After leaving Qingqing's place, Gu Liyan felt extremely tired as she passed the pavilion. She lay down on a seat in the pavilion and fell asleep without realizing it.
Lan Ying approached Gu Liyan and said irritably, "Well, well! We've been looking for you all day, and you're sleeping in here! Get up right now!"
As she spoke, Lan Ying pulled Gu Liyan to wake him up, but in the struggle, she accidentally dragged Gu Liyan to the ground.
The loud thud on the floor startled Lan Ying, who quickly withdrew her hand. Without a word, Lan Ying turned and prepared to slip away.
However, after taking only a couple of steps, they realized that Gu Liyan was not moving at all. They instinctively turned their heads and found Gu Liyan lying motionless on the ground...
"Hello! Gu Liyan?" Lan Ying asked cautiously, "Are you alright?"
Gu Liyan remained motionless and did not respond.
"Gu Liyan! Hey! You, you're not dead, are you?" Lan Ying squatted down in front of Gu Liyan and poked his face.
Seemingly feeling someone touch him, Gu Liyan slowly opened his eyes, slightly surprised to see Lan Ying's concerned gaze. "Lan Ying..."
Hearing Gu Liyan call her name weakly, Lan Ying's heart skipped a beat, and she asked with concern:
"Yes, it's me. Why are you sleeping here? Are you sick?"
Gu Liyan shook his head, and said wearily, "I'm fine, just... a little tired..."
Lan Ying noticed that Gu Liyan was not feeling well, so she reached out and touched his forehead, only to find that his body temperature was extremely low, like that of a dead person. She immediately panicked and said, "Gu Liyan, tell me, where are you feeling unwell? Don't die here! I really won't be able to explain if you die!"
Gu Liyan was amused by Lan Ying. Thinking of how she was on the verge of death yesterday, and how she appeared before him today full of energy, even saying that he was going to die...
"How could I possibly die... It's just... I'm too tired..." Gu Liyan said, then closed his eyes wearily again.
"Hello, Gu Liyan? Hello! Gu Liyan!" Lan Ying was startled, not expecting him to faint so suddenly—
"Help! Where is everyone? Help!" Lan Ying, carrying Gu Liyan on her back, kept shouting, "Where has everyone gone! Come out now!"
Qingqing happened to pass by and saw Lan Ying carrying Gu Liyan on her back, calling out anxiously. She hurriedly ran up to him and asked, "Lan Ying, what's wrong with him?"
Lan Ying, seeing it was Qing Qing, said irritably, "Do you think I know? Why don't you hurry up and call Lü Xiu over here!"
Qingqing nodded and hurriedly went to find Lüxiu. When Lanying saw Qingqing run off, she immediately slapped her head and said, "I'm so stupid! This girl can't even speak properly. I can't even shout faster than her!"
Qingqing didn't dare to delay and pushed open the door to Lvxiu's room with swift steps.
Qingqing, who was focused on her embroidery, was startled. Upon seeing that it was Qingqing, she angrily exclaimed, "Qingqing! You brat, can't you knock?"
Qingqing didn't say anything, but took her hand and walked straight outside without saying a word.
"Qingqing! Where are you taking me? What happened? -- Ouch, you brat, let go of me!" Green Embroidery said irritably, no matter how much she asked, Qingqing didn't answer, but instead held Green Embroidery's hand tighter and tighter.
Green Embroidery looked at Qingqing with slight surprise, never expecting that she, a Qi Transformation Realm cultivator, would be dragged along by Qingqing, who had not yet reached the Qi Transformation Realm!
Soon they arrived at the back garden, where they found all the women already gathered, sitting in a circle, discussing something with serious expressions.
Green Embroidery's heart tightened: Could it be that Lan Ying's illness has relapsed?
Before she could even ask, Lan Ying popped her head out and waved to Lü Xiu, "Lü Xiu, come quickly and save people!"
Green Embroidery was puzzled, but upon getting closer, she finally saw the face of the person who needed saving. She was slightly taken aback and asked, "What... what's going on with Gu Liyan?"
“You’ll have to ask Lan Ying about that; she was the first to discover it,” Hong Ling said coldly.
Lan Ying shrugged. "I just saw him lying in the pavilion. When I saw you all looking for him, I thought I'd wake him up, and then—he passed out!"
Hearing Lan Ying's explanation, even Qing Qing looked at Lan Ying with suspicion.
"Why are you looking at me like that! I'm serious! He really did faint on his own!" Lan Ying hurriedly explained.
"Never mind, no matter how she fainted, I'd better check her out." Green Embroidery squatted down to take Gu Liyan's pulse.
The touch was icy cold, and Green Embroidery subconsciously withdrew her hand, looking at Gu Liyan with a surprised expression.
Upon seeing this, the women hurriedly asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Green Embroidery tried to sound calm as she said, "No, it's nothing..."
