What Lan Jingtang wants most is to protect that girl's happiness.
Her eternal passion and freedom, happiness and fulfillment, is also what Lan Jingtang desires.
Lan Jingtang punched Yi Chenli hard in the chest and said irritably, "You've really hit the jackpot. This medicinal blood is indeed hard to find, but coincidentally, the Lan family has been training me in medicine since I was a child. I've practically grown up surrounded by medicine."
"The medicinal blood you seek is both far away and right before your eyes."
"This medicinal blood can only help someone regenerate blood once in their lifetime. And that one time is enough to severely damage one's vitality. It may take several years to fully recover. Just thinking about how my Blue Realm Hall has to save my rival in love like this makes me... I... I feel so pathetic, I'm so angry!"
Despite saying he was furious, Lan Jingtang decided to save Yi Chenli the moment he said it.
Between men, perhaps no words of thanks are needed.
Yi Chenli took the initiative to extend his hand and shake hands with Lan Jingtang. They looked at each other and patted each other on the shoulder.
A silent understanding was surging freely.
These two should have been formidable rivals and opponents.
But this time, by a twist of fate, a poison incident inexplicably brought them to the same side.
Turn hostility into friendship.
And who would have thought that it was a girl who brought them closer?
Lan Jingtang's willingness to sacrifice his own blood to save Yi Chenli was not only for An Yuan'er's sake, but also, in a way, a form of recognition of Yi Chenli.
Although they are rivals in love, it doesn't stop them from appreciating each other.
Both of them are highly proactive individuals.
Having made his decision, Yi Chenli said, "If there's anything you need me to provide, just say so."
Lan Jingtang thought for a moment: "This blood transfusion and blood regeneration cannot be completed in a few days. I need an absolutely sealed and safe environment. Once the blood transfusion and blood regeneration process is interrupted, it will be both you and me who die. Obviously, this camp is not a good place."
Lan Jingtang added, "Xiao Yuan'er is worried about your situation, so I think we should discuss this with her."
Yi Chenli shook his head firmly: "The success rate of this method is less than 30%. I don't want to give her hope again and again, only to give her despair once more. She's already exhausted; let her rest for a few days."
Blood transfusion and blood regeneration are inherently enormous risks. And to completely eliminate any disturbance or suspicion, while maintaining absolute secrecy, the only way is to make everyone believe that the Sixth Prince is dead.
And so—just as An Yuan'er later learned.
Lan Jingtang secretly returned to Shengjing with Yi Chenli. Along the way, in order to control the poison in Yi Chenli, they could only keep bleeding him. By the time they arrived in Shengjing, Yi Chenli had lost a lot of blood and was very weak.
Upon hearing this, An Yuan'er protested, "A-Li, how could you keep this from me? You've deceived me so much. In those days, I thought countless times about dying with you. But I always remembered that you told me to live well, so that things wouldn't come to this..."
Yi Chenli gently wiped away the tears from An Yuan'er's eyes: "Silly girl, I never thought you would be so silly."
"But, Roundy, that funeral wasn't entirely a lie. Maybe I was just meant to die."
An Yuan'er pressed further, "Did something happen later? Did the blood transfusion fail to produce blood?"
"Yi Chenli, you can't hide it from me. You have to tell me everything. I deserve to know the truth more than anyone else."
