Nangong Suxin said weakly. Even at this moment, she wouldn't let the Young Miss feel comfortable.
"Fine, I won't bother with you. Should I beat up that person who hurt you?" the Young Miss asked. She wouldn't consider other matters at all—even if that person had background, even if that person was already lying on the ground, she would still strike to cripple him.
If she didn't think this revenge should be taken by Nangong Suxin herself, she would have already acted.
"No need..." Nangong Suxin shook her head.
"Oh, so you want to take revenge yourself! Seventh Sister, give her a few more pills and take her to find Xiaoyao." The Young Miss nodded without saying more. The most important thing now was to treat Nangong Suxin's injuries.
This kind of injury was almost impossible to heal under normal circumstances. Even if healed, it would leave lasting problems—her body definitely wouldn't be as good as before. For a genius girl like Nangong Suxin, this was a fatal blow.
But at this moment, Nangong Suxin wasn't worried. She felt Xiaoyao should be able to heal her completely. However, she still wanted to scold Xiaoyao—talking nonsense about her having some blood disaster, that jinx.
"Okay!" Guxing poured out several more pills and fed them to Nangong Suxin, then thought for a moment and poured out several more, preparing to continue.
Hadn't Xiaoyao said before to take more based on the injury? She was almost dead now, so naturally she should take more.
"Wait!" Nangong Lie suddenly said at this moment.
"??"
"Miss, feeding Suxin medicine like this isn't good. More medicine isn't necessarily better." At this time, everyone thought Nangong Lie stopped them for this reason. Indeed, medicine wasn't always better in larger quantities—at least under normal circumstances.
"Could you let me see this medicine..." Nangong Lie asked.
"For eating, can't give to you!" Guxing said simply, meaning this was for Nangong Suxin to eat, not for others.
"I know. Could I just look at it, just once!" Nangong Lie looked at Nangong Suxin with a pleading expression. The situation seemed to become somewhat strange—instead of worrying about Nangong Suxin's injuries, he was asking her to help plead for him.
"Give it to him..." Nangong Suxin weakly said two words. At this moment, she felt a stream of qi had formed inside her body, protecting her meridians. As long as this qi didn't dissipate, she wouldn't die.
This qi came not only from several people's internal power but mainly from those pills!
After hearing Nangong Suxin say this, Guxing threw Nangong Lie a pill, then checked Nangong Suxin's condition, picked her up, and prepared to find Xiaoyao.
"Stop! Where are you taking Suxin?" At this moment, the Nangong clan members became anxious. In this situation, Nangong Suxin was in critical condition—how could she be carried around randomly?
"To treat injuries!" Guxing answered simply.
"To whom?"
"Xiaoyao!" Guxing replied directly.
"Who is Xiaoyao?" Again it was Xiaoyao. Who exactly was this Xiaoyao? The Nangong clan members asked.
"My servant," Guxing thought for a moment and answered. She didn't know how to explain Xiaoyao's identity. His most public identity was as a servant, and he liked this identity too.
"..."
After a moment of silence, someone angrily said: "What? Your servant? You're taking our Nangong clan member to your servant for treatment, and for this kind of injury that few people in the world can heal—aren't you making fun of our people?"
"Thank you for your concern for Suxin just now, but we can handle things from here. We'll invite Divine Doctor Hua to treat Suxin!" another Nangong clan member spoke.
Divine Doctor Hua, the most famous divine doctor in the Great Tang Empire, permanently resided in the Great Tang capital. The royal family generally liked to find him for medical treatment, even the emperor. Ordinary people could hardly invite him, but of course the Nangong clan could.
Divine Doctor Hua's medical skills were almost unparalleled in the world. As some people said, if Divine Doctor Hua couldn't cure something, then no one in the entire world could cure it anymore.
For Nangong Suxin's condition, if Divine Doctor Hua took action, there would definitely be a seventy to eighty percent chance of saving her life. If she recovered well, she would be no different from before!
"Your opinion?" Guxing looked at Nangong Suxin. This matter should be decided by Nangong Suxin herself—she had no right to force Nangong Suxin to find Xiaoyao.
"Go to Hanlin Academy..." Nangong Suxin answered. Her voice was still very weak, but she had expressed her meaning. Without much consideration—perhaps without any consideration at all—she chose to find Xiaoyao.
"Suxin, are you confused? Divine Doctor Hua isn't at Hanlin Academy—he's at Apricot Grove Medical Hall," another Nangong clan member said. At the same time, Guxing had already flashed away.
"Guxing, you..." Someone wanted to call out to Guxing, but at this moment Third Miss spoke up.
"Esteemed seniors, sister's meaning is to find Xiaoyao—he's currently at Hanlin Academy!"
"What?! Is Suxin confused? How can she find a servant to treat her illness now! Su Su, please persuade your sister,"
"No need. I believe my sister's choice is correct," Third Miss shook her head in response. Her tone was very calm, making it impossible to discern her meaning.
"You're being too willful..."
"Perhaps they're right!"
At this moment, someone spoke up, making all the Nangong clan members look at that person and forget about chasing Guxing. Of course, this was just the few Nangong clan members—Guxing didn't stop, and the Young Miss and Third Miss also rushed to Hanlin Academy together.
The speaker was actually Nangong Lie—this was unexpected!
"Nangong Lie, what do you mean by that?"
"The medicine Suxin took is Life Extension Pills," Nangong Lie's face showed a very strange expression. No wonder he had such an expression—Life Extension Pills were a level higher than his Nine Revolution Great Recovery Pill, even more precious!
"What?!"
"Life Extension Pills... let me think, this name sounds so familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere. Wait, could it be..."
"The legendary top-tier pills that can extend life as long as one isn't dead? The Life Extension Pills that are worth more than gold?"
"Impossible! Life Extension Pills are top-tier pills—even one is rarely seen. What Suxin had was a bottle, and she just ate over ten of them!"
The Nangong clan members began to become confused, and if observers knew this situation, they would also become confused.
Life Extension Pills were what all martial artists wanted to pursue—these were supreme treasures for preserving life. In this world, except for Soul Revival Pills, probably no medicine was better than this. Soul Revival Pills basically never appeared and only existed in legends. Life Extension Pills were more reliable, but not by much.
On this continent, the stock of Life Extension Pills was very, very small. Having one was already quite good—basically only the heads of super families had them. The emperor could also be considered the head of a super family—well, the clan leader of the royal family!
The Great Tang's Nangong clan also had some—just two. Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't be used. Even for Nangong Suxin's situation, they wouldn't bring them out because Nangong Suxin wasn't important to that degree yet.
But ironically, Nangong Suxin had just eaten over ten pills. In their view, this was completely wasteful—eating one pill would have been enough, more than enough!
No wonder Nangong Suxin had suddenly recovered from near-death to being able to speak, and was so lucid. After eating over ten Life Extension Pills, if she still couldn't wake up, then these Life Extension Pills were fake or defective.
Nangong Suxin didn't know this situation yet. She had thought what Xiaoyao gave wouldn't be ordinary, but she never would have imagined it would be such high-level items. If she knew this situation, she would at least be moved to tears for a moment—well, just that moment, then it would pass!
"So what should we do now?" The Nangong clan members were somewhat confused. Someone who could casually give out a bottle of Life Extension Pills—how could they possibly be ordinary people? Perhaps they really could heal Nangong Suxin's injuries.
"Of course we follow to see. If the other party can heal her, that's best. If not, we can still remedy the situation!" Nangong Lie frowned.
Forget everything else—just the origin of these Life Extension Pills needed to be asked about.
At this moment, Nangong Lie and others wanted to catch up with Guxing, but they discovered they seemed unable to catch up. This again greatly shocked them. With their strength far exceeding Guxing's, why couldn't they catch up?
Could it be that Guxing still had hidden strength?
At this time, Nangong Lie and others had suspicions. Actually, Guxing wasn't hiding much strength—though some existed. Her speed was simply because her lightness skill and movement technique were of the fastest type, and she had high attainment in this area.
The reason for her high lightness skill attainment was Xiaoyao, because Xiaoyao's research in lightness skills and movement techniques was the most extensive. As he put it, these were life-preserving skills, so naturally they should be learned to perfection.
At Hanlin Academy, while Xiaoyao was reading, crows flew by overhead, calling several times. His mind couldn't settle, so he put down his book and slowly walked to the entrance of Hanlin Academy. He felt he was about to wait for something here.
Soon, he understood what he was waiting for. Guxing arrived before him at extreme speed while carrying Nangong Suxin—so fast that afterimages appeared!
Seeing Nangong Suxin being carried by Guxing like this, Xiaoyao understood he hadn't been wrong this morning. This woman really did have a blood disaster, and it was very serious—otherwise Guxing wouldn't be carrying her here.
