Chapter 363: The most formidable man (2/2)
“I understand!” Han Yunxi didn’t let him finish. She was very clear that Long Feiye might lose too much blood in the treatment process and die from that instead. Still, with time so tight, they had to try saving him anyways. There was no other choice.
“This one will do his utmost. Esteemed wangfei, you must keep calm as well and prepare to stop the bleeding at anytime,” Gu Beiyue was extremely solemn.
Although Han Yunxi knew his words were only meant to comfort her, she still nodded her head. “Alright!”
She prepared her needles and medicine on the side and stood by to assist Gu Beiyue at any time. Gu Beiyue personally undid the bandages across Long Feiye’s chest. Every layer he unwound revealed more and more fresh blood seeping from the wound. Han Yunxi was calm at the start, but soon enough she saw his blood gushing out like a spring. This wasn’t simply blood, but Long Feiye’s life!
Frightened, she lost her cool. “Let me stop the bleeding first!”
“Esteemed wangfei, keep calm!” Gu Beiyue said sternly. It was the first time he’d spoken so harshly to Han Yunxi. Han Yunxi knew it wasn’t the right time to stop the bleeding, but she….in the end, she averted her gaze so she wouldn’t see anything!
“If you need me to stop the bleeding, just call me.” Han Yunxi had no idea what a thrilling sight she’d missed when she looked away. Gu Beiyue used one hand to examine Long Feiye’s injury while his other grabbed some medicine. With lightning fast moves, he did something so quickly that it was imperceptible to the naked eye. The result left a layer of medicine on Long Feiye’s wound, while Gu Beiyue’s pre-prepared medicines were all used up.
According to the rankings of Cloud Realm Medical Academy, Gu Beiyue was only a fifth-rank Divine Doctor. The skills he displayed were approximately that of the same rank. But in reality, his true medical skills had far surpassed any measuring system of the medical academy. Even the medical academy head couldn’t compare to him. Unfortunately, there was no one in the world aware of such a fact.
Long Feiye’s wound was still pouring blood. Soon enough, the liquid submerged the medicine atop the injury. Gu Beiyue didn’t hesitate. “Esteemed wangfei, stop the bleeding, quick!”
Han Yunxi immediately turned back, only to see Long Feiye’s chest covered in blood. Even the bedding had been stained a bright scarlet. She couldn’t even tell how Gu Beiyue had treated the wound, because everything was soaked in red. Under such circumstances, she had no time to consider how Gu Beiyue had treated Long Feiye so quickly. Instead, she held fast to her faith and started using needles to stem the blood flow. Despite her shaking fingers, she used the fastest speed in her lifetime to apply them to Long Feiye’s body. By the time she finished, her back was soaked in cold sweat.
“Hot water, quick!” Gu Beiyue shouted, and Tang Li personally brought in a tub. Gu Beiyue’s eyes flickered with distress as he noticed Han Yunxi’s trembling fingers. He was about to make the next move when Han Yunxi beat him to it.
“I’ll do it.”
She agilely wiped Long Feiye clean, then took care of the other bloodstains before helping him change into warm clothes. People who lost blood needed to be kept warm at all costs, she knew. Meanwhile, Gu Beiyue was already giving his prepared prescription to Chu Xifeng so he could gather all the necessary ingredients. The tense atmosphere in the room finally eased somewhat.
Tang Li asked timidly, “Is the Duke of Qin…alright?”
Gu Beiyue didn’t answer, so Tang Li looked to Han Yunxi. “Say something!”
Han Yunxi simply glanced back at Gu Beiyue. She wanted to ask the same thing. Long Feiye had truly lost too much blood. It was impossible for his body to replace it all at once, even if they used some sort of miracle pill to replenish his stores. They could only say that they’d preserved his life for now, but she had no idea what would happen in the future, nor did she dare to guess.
“Gu Beiyue, say something!” Tang Li was worried.
A complicated look flickered past Gu Beiyue’s eyes. He checked Long Feiye’s pulse and paused before remarking, “It’s better to stand watch over him tonight. If he doesn’t regain consciousness, then the situation…will be pessimistic.”
Everyone stayed up with Han Yunxi that night to keep watch, but Long Feiye didn’t show any signs of waking even when the skies grew light. Instead, his pulse grew weaker and weaker. Gu Beiyue opened the windows to let the sunlight pour in, making it impossible for anyone to deny the advent of day. In fact, the sun was already high in the sky.
Suddenly, Tang Li raised a hand against Gu Beiyue. “You quack!”
Fortunately, Han Yunxi pushed him aside in time. “Have you gone mad?!”
“My big bro will definitely be alright! This quack is spewing nonsense! He’s seeking death!” Tang Li had lost all sense of logic.
“Get out!” Han Yunxi roared, suddenly infuriated.
Tang Li wanted to refuse. As it turned out, it was Han Yunxi who’d truly lost her mind. She started screaming at everyone else, “All of you, scram! GET OUT!”
Gu Beiyue was the first to leave, followed by Chu Xifeng, who dragged Tang Li out with him. Han Yunxi’s eyes were now redder than a rabbit’s, but they still refused to shed tears. She was still holding on tightly to Long Feiye’s hand as she sat by his bedside.
Han Yunxi spent a whole day and night next to Long Feiye’s side, checking his pulse and personally feeding him medicine mouth-to-mouth. But still, Long Feiye didn’t wake up…
