Chapter 117 The Truth Behind the Poison (2/2)

With Feng Yi Xuan’s question, everyone looked to Gui Yi and the others, hoping Gui Yi can answer them.After all, from what Lan You Nian’s appearance, it wasn’t as simple as an illness.

Gui Yi and the others didn’t utter a word.If little junior sister didn’t want other people to know, then they won’t say it.They respected little junior sister’s choices and actions.

Feng Yi Xuan didn’t have the patience to waste time with Gui Yi and the others, so he readily attacked Gui Yi and the rest of them.Gui Yi and the others were already injured so found it difficult to defend against Feng Yi Xuan’s attack.

However, at this time, a white-haired old man jumped out and blocked Feng Yi Xuan’s attack, and roared, “Good rascal!”

Everyone saw a hale and heart, his back straight, his eyes flashing brightly white-haired elder standing in front of Gui Yi and the others.

“Shifu!” Lan You Nian stood on the balcony of the pavilion, her voice carrying a unique spoiled tone.

Feng Yi Xuan instantly flew up and pulled Lan You Nian into his arms.He looked over Lan You Nian and saw Lan You Nian was still looking thin and weak, so he carried Lan You Nian back into the pavilion.

“Xiao Nian Nian!” Gui Yi Zi shouted then flew into the pavilion, and the others followed suit.

“Shifu!” Gui Yi and the rest of the brothers shouted in unison.They didn’t expect shifu to come to the capital.It was most likely due to little junior sister.

Gui Yi Zi meticulously took Lan You Nian’s pulse, then slapped Gui Yi’s shoulder who was closest to him, “How do you take care of Xiao Nian Nian?Why has she become so thin?”

Lan You Nian was still being held by Feng Yi Xuan, but the smile on her lips was gentle, “Brothers treat me very well, shifu, don’t be biased!”

“Ai!” Gui Yi Zi stroked Lan You Nian’s hair, his voice carrying the benevolence of an elder, “Xiao Nian Nian, does it still hurt?”

“En, it’s fine!” Lan You Nian said, seemingly tired as she leaned against Feng Yi Xuan’s chest.

Feng Yi Xuan took the fur blanket Lan Qu handed over and wrapped up Lan You Nian’s entire body in it.It was clearly summer, yet the girl in his arms was still cold.

“What do you want to know?I am Xiao Nian Nian’s shifu, you can ask me!” Gui Yi Zi looked at everyone, those eyes that have been sharpened by time were still astute and sharp blades as they directed on the people in front of him, his voice carried an overt oppression.

“What’s wrong with Nian’er?” Lan Jian Jun asked anxiously.As a father, he only hoped that his daughter was healthy and well.

Gui Yi Zi looked at Lan Jian Jun, there was a hint of anger in his voice, “You are Lan Jian Jun?What qualifications do you have to ask?” Gui Yi Zi saw Lan Jian Jun’s guilt, and continued, “Do you know how much this old man wants to kill you?”

Lan Mo Xian saw his father’s miserable look, his heart felt uncomfortable, and said to Gui Yi Zi, “Elder, father already regrets, father…”

Gui Yi Zi interrupted Lan Mo Xian’s words, “Regret?Do you know what Xiao Nian Nian was like when I found her?”

“Shifu?” Lan You Nian asked unsurely.She knew shifu wants to lay down all his cards today.If shifu intends to do this, she won’t stop him.She knew shifu only grieved for her.

Gui Yi Zi did not answer Lan You Nian like usual, his eyes were like torches looking upon Lan Jian Jun, “When I found Xiao Nian Nian, she was buried in the snow for many days.She almost wasn’t breathing.Such an adorable child was thin as a rack of bones.She had fallen off a cliff, and her body was entirely covered with wounds.Do you know what this old man saw when I took her back to Medical Valley?Everywhere, it was whip marks, so thin that it wasn’t like a body of an eight-year-old child at all.There were even bruises showing abuse!Even worse, such a small child’s body was littered with dozens of poisons!”

Gui Yi Zi’s words made the entire You Nian Pavilion silent, and that Lan Jian Jun who never showed weakness in front of outsiders, was red-eyed as he muttered, “It’s all my fault!It’s all my fault!”

“Hmph!” Gui Yi Zi could tell Lan Jian Jun was truly feeling guilty so he did not continue to make trouble as he stopped talking.After all, this person was Xiao Nian Nian’s father, more or less, show some restraint!

“Elder, then what’s wrong with Nian’er meimei’s body?” Lan Mo Xian comforted his father as he asked with concern.

“Nian Nian is poisoned!” Gui Yi Zi didn’t conceal the truth but directly answered.

“Isn’t elder Gui Yi Zi?Don’t you have any ideas?” Hua Mu Qing asked, hearing the past Gui Yi Zi spoke of, she felt more heartache for Nian’er meimei.

Gui Yi Zi sighed, looking at Lan You Nian in Feng Yi Xuan’s arms, “If this old man had a way, how would Xiao Nian Nian still be suffering so much?”

“What are the symptoms of the poison?” Feng Yi Xuan’s lashes were like a pair of wings above the pair of purple eyes, so deep it made others cower.

Gui San glanced at little junior sister didn’t interfere and knew little junior sister won’t conceal it from Feng Yi Xuan.It seems this person was different in little junior sister’s heart, “This poison is derived from the dozens of poisons little junior sister had since childhood.Every month the poison awakens once.When the poison awakens, a bloodsucking pain, even more painful than snapping a tendon and shattering bone.Each time the poison awakens, if she can’t overcome it, then it means death!”

Feng Yi Xuan’s deep purple eyes were like deep pools, any object that touched it would drown, making people unable to see the images hidden within its bottomless depths.His arms holding Lan You Nian were shaking, but it was even more firm.He won’t let Nian Nian leave him.

It was the second time Lan Mo Xian saw his father shed tears.He saw father’s eyes filled with tears looking at Nian’er meimei, his eyes were the guilt that blamed himself to death.

Seeing that the atmosphere of the room was so grave, Lan You Nian leaned against Feng Yi Xuan’s chest, lifted her heard to look at Feng Yi Xuan who was looking down at her.Lan You Nian’s eyes, black and white in sharp contrast, were clean and bright as if they can illuminate their hearts.

“I won’t die so easily, no need to worry!” Lan You Nian’s words were directed at Feng Yi Xuan as well to everyone else.

Under the candlelight, Feng Yi Xuan’s body was straight, the cold and sharp face slowly warmed, thin lips curved, eyes gradually filled with a smile.Looking into her eyes, his words gentle and warm, like a river slowly flowing over her heart, “I won’t let anything happen to you.Wherever you are, I will be with you!”
