Blackbeard, mindful of i Liangyu's injuries, drove the carriage steadily, striving to avoid even the slightest bump.
Yu Sui frowned, her gaze sweeping back and forth over i Liangyu's body. When her eyes touched upon the rolled-back flesh and she saw the ghastly white bone beneath the blood and flesh, she couldn't bear it and raised her hand to cover her eyes.
i Liangyu didn't want to speak, but seeing her like this, he couldn't help saying, "If you're afraid, just close your eyes and don't look."
After all, his injuries were indeed quite bloody and terrifying.
"Senior Brother, you won't die, will you?" Yu Sui asked again, filled with anxious unease.
i Liangyu found this amusing, but he couldn't laugh right now, so he kept his mouth shut and remained silent, his expression leisurely as he waited to see Yu Sui's reaction.
Yu Sui could also tell that i Liangyu had Five Elents Energy Chaos, just like Li Jin Shuang before. Even blinking or opening his mouth would be extrely painful, and even if he did nothing, the Five Elents Energy would rampage through his body. That sensation was probably no different from Death by a Thousand Cuts.
Not to ntion he was already severely injured to begin with.
If his hands, which had been attacked by the Death by a Thousand Cuts technique, weren't treated promptly, she wondered if they might beco permanently disabled.
Having such a bloody person sitting right in front of her was indeed quite visually stimulating.
Yu Sui peered at i Liangyu through her fingers, "Senior Brother, I've been studying with the dical School these past few days. Should I help give you so simple treatnt?"
i Liangyu didn't respond, his cold black eyes gently closing, as if giving silent permission.
"What kind of person could actually injure Senior Brother like this? Senior Brother, why didn't you ask Master for help?" Yu Sui muttered.
i Liangyu could hear the rustling sounds of fabric as she rummaged through the carriage, and when the jewelry box shook, the clear, pleasant sounds of various golden hairpins and jade stones colliding inside reached his ears like the sound of money.
Yu Sui's worried expression when she looked at him easily surfaced in his mind, the image crystal clear.
Having killed the person he wanted to kill, after the battle was over, i Liangyu cald his heart, his thoughts clear and extrely composed.
i Liangyu didn't think Yu Sui's appearance was also part of the enemy's plan. After all, she was Master's disciple, and though the old man wouldn't interfere too much with his disciples' private lives and personal decisions, he also wouldn't allow fellow disciples to kill each other.
Yu Sui posed no threat. Just as i Liangyu confird this, he felt soone approaching. The bloody sll in his nostrils was suddenly covered by a approaching fragrance. The scent was gentle and soft, reminiscent of sweet honey peaches or elegant jasmine. It was sothing i Liangyu had never slled before, belonging to the delicate and tender aura of a young woman.
Because i Liangyu had his eyes closed and couldn't see, his sense of sll beca more sensitive. The domineering scent that invaded his nostrils made his brain give the most direct reaction and assessnt.
The sudden approach of another person made i Liangyu instinctively tense his spine. Just as he was about to beco alert, he heard Yu Sui's voice very close by, "Senior Brother, your clothes are all ruined. Let give you one to wear temporarily. It'll be better to cover up when we return to the Academy later."
Clothes?
i Liangyu's temple twitched slightly. He thought Yu Sui was giving him the new dress she'd bought today, so he opened his eyes and looked down.
What entered his vision was the snow-white back of a woman's hand. Yu Sui was gripping a corner of the coat, gently bringing it toward his shoulder.
It wasn't the girl's dress that i Liangyu had imagined, but a brand-new n's outer garnt. The excellent cloud-embroidered fabric was embroidered with dark gold bamboo leaf patterns, making this long robe extrely noble and elegant. It was just right for wearing outdoors in the approaching sumr season, and the fabric felt cool and smooth to the touch, not stuffy at all.
"You bought this?" i Liangyu asked in a light, floating tone.
"Mm!" Yu Sui nodded. "I ordered this batch of new fabric several days ago. During the day, I even asked Brother Gu to co with to try it on for size, but Brother Gu said he had very important things to do tonight and couldn't accompany . I had no choice but to go shopping in the Outer City by myself and bought these things."
Yu Sui sighed softly, "Fortunately, I still picked out several pieces of clothing for Brother Gu tonight, so they can co in handy now."
For a mont, i Liangyu didn't know what to say. The clothes his Junior Sister had picked out for her childhood sweetheart, he was the first to wear. This feeling... if you said it was annoying, that didn't quite fit, but if you said it wasn't annoying, it felt like ants were crawling all over his body, making him itch terribly.
He originally didn't want to speak and agitate his condition, but when the words ca to his lips, after holding back for a while, he couldn't resist. He stared at Yu Sui with a fake smile, "Junior Sister, didn't you say you wouldn't spend money on n?"
Yu Sui was stunned and replied honestly, "I spent Nangong Manor's money on these."
i Liangyu thought to himself, how is that any different?
Nangong Manor's money is your money, isn't it?
Before he could say anything more, he heard a ripping sound as Yu Sui grabbed another brand-new n's outer garnt and tore it apart.
i Liangyu: "......"
The string of subtle displeasure in his heart also snapped along with Yu Sui's action of tearing the clothes.
"What are you doing?" i Liangyu wanted to laugh but held it back.
Yu Sui tore at the fabric in her hands, saying softly, "I don't have any handkerchiefs or other things to stop Senior Brother's bleeding, so I can only tear up these newly bought clothes."
She seed to see through the amusent in i Liangyu's eyes and added, "I don't want to tear up my newly bought dresses. I still need to wear them."
So she tore up the clothes she'd bought for Gu Qian instead, since she wasn't going to wear them anyway.
i Liangyu leaned lazily against the wall, saying nothing. His originally cold black eyes now unconsciously carried a hint of amusent as he watched her.
"These are all excellent fabrics that won't chafe the skin." Yu Sui approached i Liangyu with the torn fabric, dabbing at the blood on his face with gentle movents.
Just as i Liangyu was about to speak, Yu Sui pressed her index finger to her red lips and said softly, "Senior Brother, I can see you have the sa Five Elents Energy Chaos as Li Jin Shuang that ti. It must hurt terribly right now, so you'd better not talk."
He didn't have ti to stop Yu Sui from approaching.
Yu Sui gently wiped away the blood on his face, her wrist occasionally touching his skin. i Liangyu could clearly feel the soft, warm sensation of contact.
For the first ti, the two of them were this close.
When skin touched skin, they could feel each other's temperature, soft touches that imdiately separated, yet occasionally slid gently downward.
i Liangyu didn't avoid it at all, sitting openly and honestly. His eyelashes trembled lightly as his gaze constantly followed Yu Sui, as if studying her expression, but he only saw Yu Sui remaining focused throughout. When she saw wounds deep enough to show bone, she would frown in surprise.
As Yu Sui wiped, her sleeves inevitably got stained with spots of blood, blooming like blood-red plum blossoms on her water-blue sleeves.
When both of them weren't speaking, the carriage was filled only with the sound of their fabric rustling against each other, the soft whispers occasionally striking each other's hearts and stirring up gentle ripples.
"Senior Brother," Yu Sui looked up at him, "should I say sothing to distract you?"
i Liangyu looked down at her, "Why would you want to distract ?"
"I'm afraid you're in pain." Yu Sui wiped the blood from his neck.
i Liangyu said quietly, "It doesn't hurt."
Ever since taking dical School as an elective, whenever i Liangyu got injured, he always dealt with it himself, never letting outsiders touch him. Even when seriously injured and going to the dical School, he wouldn't let friends nearby help.
So things he could endure when doing them himself, but when others did them, they beca much harder to bear.
When Yu Sui tried to bandage his hands, i Liangyu dodged. Yu Sui looked up in confusion, only to see i Liangyu say without changing expression, "Afraid it'll hurt."
He could endure other places, but having her bandage these mangled hands would be painful whether it should hurt or not.
Yu Sui: "......"
Seeing Yu Sui's bewildered expression, i Liangyu said, "You've only been studying at the dical School for three days, right?"
Yu Sui nodded.
i Liangyu said in a low, slow tone, "Junior Sister, I've said before, you were born to a life of wealth and nobility. You can't learn this kind of thing, helping others."
Moreover, seeing his Junior Sister like this now was quite good, noble and elegant, high above others. Although she was unclear about that bastard Gu Qian, there was no need for her to descend into the mundane world to learn the dical School's exhausting work of desperately helping others with such gentleness.
Also, her strength and technique in treating wounds were, to be honest, truly hard to endure.
Not wanting to stain Yu Sui's hands with blood, i Liangyu spoke up, "Give it to ."
Yu Sui's eyes indicated the fabric in her hands. This? i Liangyu humd in acknowledgnt, and Yu Sui gave it to him.
Yu Sui obediently sat back down, blinking as she watched i Liangyu handle his wounds himself.
She didn't like helping others clean wounds either.
But i Liangyu was Saint Chang Gen's disciple, having entered the sect countless years before her and having an extrely close relationship with Saint Chang Gen.
She was already at a disadvantage in terms of ti compared to i Liangyu.
Compared to a disciple who had just entered two months ago, no matter what happened, Saint Chang Gen would prioritize his eldest disciple, i Liangyu.
In matters of affection, the advantage of ti was significant.
Just like Gu Qian, even though his gaze now fell on Xun Zhiya and he was always moved by her, he would never forget the little childhood friend who had always been by his side during his youth.
This was how Yu Sui thought about it, so between Gu Qian and i Liangyu, she would choose i Liangyu first, because the person she was trying to get close to was Master.
The carriage fell quiet again.
Seeing that i Liangyu didn't need her, Yu Sui began to tidy up the clothes and jewelry she had scattered earlier. When her peripheral vision swept over i Liangyu bandaging himself, she suddenly rembered the last ti she had shared a carriage with him returning to the Academy.
She had felt physically and ntally exhausted from the Agricultural School's assassination attempt and nearly losing control of her Strange Fire, but fearing i Liangyu might notice sothing, she tried to make conversation in the carriage to distract her attention.
But i Liangyu had said, if you don't want to talk, then don't.
After that, he remained quiet until they returned to the Academy.
The sudden mory beca incredibly clear.
Yu Sui fastened the jewelry box and looked up again at i Liangyu sitting across from her. Senior Brother as a person... wasn't really that bad.
The carriage stopped at the main gate of Taiyi Academy. Blackbeard helped Yu Sui carry her clothes and jewelry, and Yu Sui looked around before saying to i Liangyu, "Senior Brother, let accompany you to the dical School first."
She would have Blackbeard help take the clothes and jewelry back to her dormitory first.
But i Liangyu laughed, "What would you co with for? These minor injuries don't need treatnt."
Yu Sui's eyes widened slightly, looking at him as if both amazed and incredulous.
Senior Brother really could put on an act.
"It's too frightening. I'm not at ease." Yu Sui shook her head persuasively, gently tugging at i Liangyu's sleeve, then afraid he might hurt, withdrew her hand and said, "Senior Brother, let's go. Do you want to carry you with Wind-Riding Techniques?"
Hearing her suggestion, i Liangyu tilted his head slightly and smiled, "Alright."
