2443 The Strongest Backup 2 (1/2)

Di Fuyi proceeded to swallow another pill.

”What are you doing?” Gu Xijiu quickly asked.

”This pill will help to calm the blood in my veins.” Gu Xijiu never knew that such a pill existed. She was certainly very concerned as this was her first time to have come across the pill. ”Is there any side effect?”

”The pill will only temporarily suppress all of the symptoms for an hour.” When the symptoms returned an hour later, his condition would undoubtedly worsen, but Di Fuyi decided to keep the truth from her.

If there were any other way, Di Fuyi would choose not to take the pill. In the long run, it would do more harm than good to his body, but it was the only choice he could make right now. Yun Yanli had become suspicious, and Di Fuyi believed that he would attack anytime soon.

Gu Xijiu walked to the outside and saw Yun Yanli right outside her cabin. He stood tall with his hands behind him. His eyes were locked on the horizon, seemingly at ease, but Gu Xijiu could still feel his aura that spelled Di Fuyi's death.

He turned around as soon as he heard some movement and was astonished. ”Are you done treating him? That was fast.”

Gu Xijiu nodded as she put the flute into her mouth.

”Let me have a look at him.” Yun Yanli turned around and was ready to enter.

Gu Xijiu pointed the flute at his chest to stop him. ”That is unnecessary. What he needs is a quiet rest. He asked for no disturbance.”

Yun Yanli could tell how serious she was at that moment. He smiled. ”All right, as you wish.”

His attention was then drawn to the flute in her hand. ”Do you know how to play the flute?”

”A bit.” Gu Xijiu then tried to test the sound of the flute.

”If it were not for Mr. Fuyi, I would have asked you to play a song.”
