Chapter 609: Qin Wangfei loses her temper (2/2)

Why?

While Ning Cheng was puzzling over this, Long Feiye refilled the ten cups in front of him again. A complicated look flashed past Ning Cheng’s eyes. He didn’t follow suit immediately, but the servant by his side lightly coughed a few times. This was to remind Ning Cheng that his antidote was only good for 25 cups of wine at most. If he kept going, there wouldn’t be any left in his body to deal with the alcohol in this wine. According to his calculations, he could last five more cups before turning utterly drunk.

“Not following suit?” Long Feiye asking provokingly.

Ning Cheng’s cold face was the only answer he gave, but he still began to fill his cups. Once they were all full, the two started drinking again, but Ning Cheng was starting to suspect the needle in Long Feiye’s back.

By now, Han Yunxi had finished her acupuncture treatment on Gu Beiyue. She cleaned up all her needles and was about to get up when Lil Thing suddenly jumped on Gu Beiyue’s leg and tore at his clothes, revealing his injured knee. Seeing this, Han Yunxi was stunned and quickly went to inspect the wound. She carefully enlarged the cut and sucked in a cold breath at the sight. This was a wound from a Chu Clan arrow that had pierced past the tendons and sinews. Han Yunxi carefully looked over the wound and discovered that it had been there for a long time. Its current healing prospects were bad. For one thing, it hadn’t been treated in time after the injury occurred. For another, someone had stopping applying the medicine before the cut fully healed up. Moreover, Gu Beiyue’s body had a terrible healing factor that couldn’t deal with such a severe injury on its own at all.

The more Han Yunxi looked, the angrier and more impatient she felt. Gu Beiyue’s treatment couldn’t be delayed! Although his tendons hadn’t been severed, they were still torn. A regular arrow wouldn’t do this, but whoever shot him had been cunning enough to aim for a specific spot so that removing the arrow would harm the sinew. Unless someone supported him, it would be impossible for Gu Beiyue to stand, much less walk! In other words, his leg was completely crippled now! She wasn’t even sure if this could be cured, but she had to strive for time. The earlier they could treat him, the better. There would be less side effects as well!

At this moment, Lil Thing pointed at Gu Beiyue’s right shoulder and began to cheep. Han Yunxi’s heart gave a jolt as she realized it must have discovered another injury. She threw all conventions of male-female relationships outside the window and quickly took out a tiny pair of scissors to cut away the cloth over his shoulder. As it turned out, this wound was even worse than his leg! The offending weapon had pierced straight into his shoulder and gone out the other side. Like his leg, the recovery prospects for this shoulder looked low. Heaven knows how much he had bled from the wound? Now the bleeding had stopped and the sound seemed half-healed, but the damage to his bone was long-lasting and impossible to cure. Even if the skin closed up, he would always feel pain from his shoulder in his coming days.

Injured bones couldn’t heal that easily.

Besides the Tang Li’s assassination weapons, it was only the Chu Clan’s Driving Arrow Arts that could pierce a body with such strength! What a Chu Clan!

Han Yunxi’s entire aura grew sinisters as she emanated killing intent. She suddenly strode into the pavilion and glared at Chu Yunyi and General Chu before telling Long Feiye, “We must return immediately. Gu Beiyue was severely injured by the Chu Clan’s arrows, we can’t afford to delay!”

Gu Beiyue wasn’t bleeding as much as Gu Qishao when he was injured, nor in any urgent need of blood transfusions. His shoulder could also afford to wait a couple of hours when it was already like that.

But!

Gu Beiyue’s leg injury had been neglected for too long and needed immediate care. Han Yunxi wasn’t even sure if he could walk normally again, but she only had the thought to save him as much as she could as soon as possible. They wouldn’t be able to find instantaneous treatment even after leaving Fenglin City because she didn’t know how to treat him herself. She had to get in contact with Medical City’s Third Elder Shen ASAP because this went beyond the skills of ordinary doctors. Only Sage Level physicians like the elder had a chance to give Gu Beiyue a full recovery.

Thus, her most important task now was to buy Gu Beiyue time and get him medicine as soon as she could. But Long Feiye didn’t even get to reply before Ning Cheng said with a cold laugh, “Men are drinking, so women should just wait on the side.”

Unfortunately, Han Yunxi simple chose to ignore his existence. Finding the situation awkward, Ning Cheng tried to speak again but was cut off by Long Feiye standing up. “We’ll stop here for now and compete another day.”

He moved to leave with Han Yunxi, but Ning Cheng set down his cup and stood up as well. “Duke of Qin, you can’t afford the loss?”

“Are you sure your lordship will lose if we kept competing?” Long Feiye retorted.

Without hesitation, Ning Cheng declared, “Certain!”

At that, Han Yunxi picked up the wine from the table and splashed it in Ning Cheng’s face! Absolute silence fell on the crowd as Ning Cheng stood there with droplets dripping off his chin…
