【043】 Gu Juan’s Weakness (2)
Zhang Muheng was horrified when he saw Xi Lang's appearance. He hurriedly said to Han Lin, "Call an ambulance!"
The bloody wound on Xi Lang's chest irritated Cao Jie. He grabbed Xi Lang and hugged him tightly. He glared at Gu Juan and roared, "Gu Juan! What did you do to my third brother?"
"Get out!" Gu Juan was even angrier than him. He pushed Cao Jie away, picked up Xi Lang, walked quickly to the bed, and put him on the bed.
Cao Jie fell heavily to the ground, shocked. Gu Juan was so strong! Without thinking too much, he quickly got up and chased after him, demanding, "What on earth do you want to do?"
Zhang Muheng walked over and said, "That's enough, both of you! The most important thing now is to help Xi Lang deal with his wounds before the ambulance arrives. Gu Juan, Cao Jie is a medical student, have him bandage Xi Lang."
"All of you get out! I won't let anything happen to Xi Lang." After Gu Juan quickly used his true energy to stop Xi Lang's bleeding, he didn't give them a chance to speak. He drove them all out of the room, closed the door, and then took out a Qi-boosting pill and fed it to Xi Lang.
Fortunately, Xi Lang often ate the fruit from the space, giving him a stronger immune system than most, so the black energy wasn't fatal. He absorbed the medicinal power quickly, and the black energy on his face faded at a visible rate. Gu Juan's rapidly beating heart finally returned to normal, and he slowly let out a sigh of relief, his frozen body gradually warming. He had been truly afraid that he might be too late. He couldn't imagine what would happen if something really happened to Xi Lang...
Gu Haojie was not wrong, he did have weaknesses.
Xi Lang is his weakness.
Gu Juan thought of the set of cultivation secrets in the space that was comparable to the "Slaughter Moon Immortal Record".
He checked Xi Lang's breathing to confirm it was normal, then lifted him up and leaned him against his body. He then took out the spiritual spring water from the space and carefully cleaned his wound, combining it with his true energy to repair it. After a while, the wound completely disappeared without a trace.
"Gu Juan, open the door!" Cao Jie slammed the door.
Han Lin shouted, "Gu Juan! How is Xi Lang?"
"Gu Juan, open the door immediately!" Li Ruicheng was very angry.
Xi Lang's eyelids twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes. Remembering what happened before he lost consciousness, he suddenly sat up, grabbed Gu Juan's shoulders, and checked him up and down. "Xiao Juan, are you okay?"
Gu Juan felt a pang of pain in his chest and shook his head, "I'm fine, you're the one who's in trouble."
"Me?" Xi Lang recalled what happened before, lowered his head to look at the injured area, and raised his head in surprise, "This?"
Gu Juan held his arms and said sternly, "Xi Lang, please listen to my explanation..."
Xi Lang raised his palm to his lips, looked at him gently, shook his head slightly, and said in a soothing tone, "Don't worry, I'll wait until the day you completely trust me." He really wanted to know what was going on, but he hoped that Gu Juan would give him an answer voluntarily, rather than for any objective reasons. He was confident that he would wait until that day.
Gu Juan leaned over and hugged him, sighing softly, "Old man, why are you so nice to me?"
Just as Xi Lang was about to speak, the door was slammed again with a loud bang.
"Gu Juan, open the door, the ambulance is here!" Zhang Muheng's tone was both angry and irritable.
Gu Juan stood up, and Xi Lang held his shoulders, "I'll go."
As soon as the door opened, Han Lin and others rushed in and stared at Xi Lang's chest in surprise.
"Are you okay?" Zhang Muheng looked him up and down, full of suspicion. Xi Lang didn't look like he was in trouble.
Xi Lang opened his arms, indicating that they could see clearly. "What could possibly happen to me? Because you drank all the wine Xiaojuan prepared, and I didn't even get a sip, so I came up with this idea to scare you. I didn't expect... you guys wouldn't be so cowardly, right?"
"You've gone too far!" Cao Jie was furious and left after saying that.
Zhang Muheng raised an eyebrow. Xi Lang wasn't someone who would joke about an ambulance, and the smell of blood in the room wasn't fake.
Han Lin looked at Xi Lang's pajamas, which he hadn't had time to change out of yet. There was a big tear on it, and he said, "Take it off so we can see."
Gu Juan's mouth twitched.
"What did you say? I didn't hear clearly." Xi Lang raised his eyebrows.
Li Ruicheng looked at Han Lin sympathetically. You dare to tease Xi Lang? You are looking for death.
Han Lin was sure that Xi Lang was really fine, and he immediately wilted, "Nothing."
"Ruicheng, go deal with the doctors and the people on the farm outside." Zhang Muheng ordered.
"Okay, Brother Mu Heng."
Han Lin and Li Ruicheng left together. Zhang Muheng crossed his arms, looking between Gu Juan and Xi Lang with an inquiring gaze.
Gu Juan and Xi Lang both looked calm.
Gu Juan thought Zhang Muheng would ask more questions, but unexpectedly he suddenly smiled and said to Xi Lang, "I'm glad you're okay. Everyone, go to bed early."
Xi Lang saw him out and closed the door.
"He didn't believe it." Gu Juan was sure.
Xi Lang said, "Yes. Don't worry, since he didn't ask today, he won't ask in the future."
Gu Juan understood that Xi Lang and Zhang Muheng trusted each other and envied their relationship.
Xi Lang trusted him, too. He wondered if he should trust Xi Lang even more. Was it because he had mistakenly trusted An Jiaqi and Chen Bin that he was now afraid to truly trust anyone? Was he really going to miss out on Xi Lang because of this?
Xi Lang said, "I'm going to take a shower first. You go to bed first."
Gu Juan called him, "Wait."
Xi Lang turned around and asked, "What?"
"Wash slowly." Gu Juan said.
Xi Lang felt strange, but nodded, "Okay."
After he entered the bathroom, Gu Juan drew the curtains, confirmed there were no cameras in the room, and slipped into the space. He found the fruit and first infused it with abundant spiritual energy. Then, he compressed the fruit into a green jade pendant, fashioning it into the shape of a leaf, even the veins clearly visible. Finally, he used his true energy to drill a small hole in the petiole and threaded a red string through it.
Not long after coming out of the space, Xi Lang's voice came through the bathroom door.
"Little family."
"Are you not done washing yet? Come out quickly." Gu Juan shouted.
Xi Lang had already finished washing and stood behind the door with a wry smile. This kid really is... Didn't he tell him to wash slowly? He opened the door and walked out.
Gu Juan stuffed the jade pendant into his hand and said, "This amulet is for you."
Xi Lang was stunned for a moment, then accepted it with a smile, "Okay, thank you." He immediately put the jade pendant around his neck.
Gu Juan said seriously, "Don't take it lightly. This is a good thing. It's best to wear it all the time, and don't take it off even when taking a bath."
Xi Lang said, "Okay."
Gu Juan was still worried, so he simply pinched the knot with his fingers and carved a simple reinforcement formation that could not be cut even with a knife.
"Don't worry, it won't be taken off." Xi Lang said.
Gu Juan nodded, looked out the dark window, and said solemnly, "You go to sleep first. I'll go out for a while."
Xi Lang held his wrist and said, "I'll go with you."
Gu Juan was about to refuse, but then thought of his recent self-reflection and nodded, but still confirmed again, "Are you sure you want to go with me? You may not be able to accept what I'm going to do, but you can't stop me."
Xi Lang said firmly: "Together."
Gu Juan nodded, "Let's not alarm others."
After the two climbed out the window, Gu Juan closed it, put his arm around Xi Lang's shoulders, and whispered, "Hold me tight."
Xi Lang opened his arms and hugged him.
Gu Juan's arms were also held by him. She looked at him speechlessly, pulled her arms out, hugged Xi Lang, jumped up, landed silently four or five feet away, and jumped again. She did this several times, and soon the two of them were out of the farm.
Although Xi Lang was shocked, he remained silent. Gu Juan looked as if he knew where he was going, and he continued on his way without stopping. The darkness seemed to have no effect on his vision.
Gu Juan followed the spiritual mark left on Gu Haojie and stopped in front of a steep slope of a mountain half an hour later.
Even Xi Lang could smell the strong smell of blood in the darkness. He immediately guessed it was Gu Haojie!
Gu Haojie was seriously injured by Gu Juan and was hiding not far away.
"Wait for me here." Gu Juan said softly.
Xi Lang didn't say anything, just stared at him without letting go.
Gu Juan could only stand there, forming hand seals. A thunderous spell was unleashed, followed by a loud bang and a painful scream. Under the pale moonlight, a dark figure rolled out from the darkness and stopped in front of Gu Juan.
"You..." Gu Haojie lay on the ground, weakly raised his arm, and pointed at Gu Juan with fear and shock in his eyes, "Gu Juan, you, you dare..."
"Why wouldn't I dare!" A murderous look flashed in Gu Juan's eyes. With a wave of his right hand, a blade of air pierced his chest neatly. Since Gu Haojie had decided to kill him, how could he possibly keep him alive?
"You..." The blood on Gu Haojie's body flowed faster. He collapsed to the ground with his eyes wide open in horror.
Xi Lang suddenly walked towards Gu Haojie.
Gu Juan was stunned, "Old man, what are you doing?"
Xi Lang kicked Gu Haojie in the solar plexus.
Gu Haojie's eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground, dead.
Xi Lang squatted down, sniffed his breath, returned to Gu Juan, held his trembling hand, and stared into his eyes. "He's dead. We killed him."
Gu Juan subconsciously held his hand back and stared at him for a long time. Suddenly, she remembered the strange power in Gu Haojie's body, came to her senses, and let go of his hand, "Wait a moment."
Xi Lang nodded.
Gu Juan's hands flew, creating a strange mark in the air. A silvery light quickly enveloped Gu Haojie, forming a ball of light that instantly compressed into a grape-sized sphere before silently exploding. Gu Haojie's body was completely destroyed, leaving not even a trace of ash.
Gu Juan wiped away the traces left by him and Xi Lang, and put his arm around his waist, "Let's go back first, so as not to be discovered."
The two returned along the same route they came, and Gu Juan erased all traces of the road.
After all, it was a person they killed, not a fish. Standing in the room again, the two of them were silent for a while before their hearts calmed down.
Gu Juan patted the pillow and said, "It's late, go to sleep."
Xi Lang took a look at the broken furniture and decided that it wouldn’t be too late to deal with it tomorrow.
They closed their eyes and fell asleep one after another.
