Hearing Gu Ningyue’s words, Lin Ruixian’s heart raced, as if it was about to jump out of his throat at any mont. His voice trembled as he spoke, "You, what nonsense are you talking? I’m just curious, okay? Why would I like you? Don’t say such nonsense!"
Seeing Lin Ruixian’s stuttering reaction, Gu Ningyue lowered her head and laughed, "Why are you so nervous? I was just casually asking! But... there’s sothing I need to seriously discuss with you about you."
She had no intention of exposing Lin Ruixian. If she did, the two of them might not even be able to be friends.
Not to ntion, there were many things ahead where she would need Lin Ruixian’s help.
Just based on Lin Ruixian’s relationship with her master, she wouldn’t foolishly uncover this matter at this ti.
So, she prepared to give Lin Ruixian a way out.
Lin Ruixian looked at Gu Ningyue half-believingly and asked, "What is it?"
Gu Ningyue smiled lightly, "Last ti you snatched the Blood Jade, it’s a conflict you’ll have with Lu Qingqing. Before coming to the U Country, Lu Qingqing called , it seems the Lin Family is also involved. Are you afraid?"
Though she was smiling, the concern in her eyes remained unchanged.
This matter started because of her, causing Lin Ruixian to leave his ho, which already made her feel very guilty. If it involved the Lin Family too, she’d probably feel guilty for a lifeti.
"Not afraid." Lin Ruixian frowned slightly, realizing this matter wasn’t as simple as he thought. Even if he never returned to A City, it wouldn’t help.
"It’d be nice if fear could help."
Gu Ningyue looked at Lin Ruixian, "I will help you, whenever you need."
Lin Ruixian glanced at her, "You help ? By finding Ling Tianyou?"
Gu Ningyue rolled her eyes, "Do you look down on that much? Before coming to the U Country, Lu Qingqing needed so dicinal herbs, which Ling Tianyou happened to grow. Lu Qingqing took the flowers, and if my master can ask Shangguan Wuyue for a chance to save soone, I’ll say... it was you who did it! That way, Lu Qingqing might not dwell on the past! If she does, then use your skills. Handling a Lu Qingqing shouldn’t be a problem, right?"
Lin Ruixian originally thought that after those matters were resolved, Gu Ningyue didn’t care much about the grudge between him and Lu Qingqing. But he realized he was thinking too little.
I have to admit, Gu Ningyue’s words moved Lin Ruixian deeply.
After the mont of emotion, Lin Ruixian looked at Gu Ningyue and said, "There’s quite a chance you’ll get Shangguan Wuyue to save the person this ti."
Gu Ningyue was puzzled, "Why? Has Shangguan Wuyue also co to the U Country?"
Lin Ruixian coughed, "Do you rember how you asked many tis before why I hadn’t told your master anything when introducing you?"
Gu Ningyue nodded, a bad premonition rising in her heart, "You wouldn’t have said I have so strange ailnt, would you?"
Lin Ruixian touched his nose, "I said you had so ntal issues due to being drugged, so I wanted Shangguan Wuyue to help take a look."
"You!" Gu Ningyue looked at Lin Ruixian, "You really are sothing!"
Lin Ruixian looked at Gu Ningyue, "Don’t be mad! Everyone in A City said the eldest lady of the Gu Family had ntal issues, so when your master asked , I had to have a plausible reason to introduce you to her!"
Gu Ningyue: "...why didn’t you just say I wanted to beco an apprentice?"
Lin Ruixian slapped his forehead, "Ah, I forgot!"
Gu Ningyue: "...You did it on purpose!"
Lin Ruixian waved his hand, "Honest to God, it wasn’t on purpose."
Gu Ningyue rolled her eyes, "If Shangguan Wuyue examines , that chance will be wasted. I have no ntal issues!"
Lin Ruixian thought for a while, "Well, actually, there is a way. But it might be a bit of a hassle at the ti."
Gu Ningyue: "What’s the plan? Tell about it."
Lin Ruixian looked at Gu Ningyue and said, "As long as we can et Shangguan Wuyue, I can get him to help Ji Qianqian instead. The condition being... no one else can be around Shangguan Wuyue, just the few of us."
Gu Ningyue nodded, "But Shangguan Wuyue will be treating Ji Qianqian, right? After prescribing, even if all the dicines are easy to find, what about the thod of using them, or if there are any issues later on?"
Lin Ruixian smiled, "It’ll just be a matter of so effort on my part. As long as there’s no outside interference, I can make Shangguan Wuyue believe that the person he needs to save is Ji Qianqian. Let’s call Lu Qingqing and discuss this together!"
Gu Ningyue gave Lin Ruixian a sidelong glance, "You dare to call Lu Qingqing? I’m afraid if you appear in front of her, she might chop you with a knife imdiately."
Lin Ruixian suddenly beca serious, "Would you help collect my remains then?"
Gu Ningyue was montarily stunned, then picked up the half-filled fruit juice beside her and cursed, "You’re dead, talking nonsense! Even if collecting remains, it’d be you collecting mine first. Sooner or later, you’ll drive to death!"
Lin Ruixian laughed heartily and didn’t continue the topic.
Having wandered outside for so long, it was only with Gu Ningyue that he felt the sense of stability.
But unfortunately, the girl he’d kept deep in his heart was already with another man.
And it seed she only saw him as a friend. Or, just a good friend.
But that’s alright, the future is long; who knows what might happen then?
anwhile, in a hospital back in the country. Gu Wanwan looked at Li Jing sitting by the bedside, terror in her eyes almost consuming him.
"I’ve told you, I don’t like the way you look at like that."
Gu Wanwan’s lips trembled, yet her gaze was still like looking at a devil, "When will you stop tornting ? Please stop, alright? I beg you! Whatever you want, I can give you. Please let go!"
Ever since Li Jing ’rescued’ her last ti, he returned to this ward, and within just one day, she had been tortured like hell.
Li Jing would always inject her with so unknown syringes, making her body react strangely, either in pain or itchy.
Just half an hour ago, when she almost scratched open her own stomach, Li Jing finally appeared in front of her again.
"Let you go?" Li Jing chuckled lightly, "Looks like, you really started to hate now, huh!"
Gu Wanwan stared at the scars under her hospital gown, tears welling up in her eyes, "What will it take for you to stop torturing ...""You want to know?" Li Jing suddenly leaned down, his warm breath brushing against her ear, "Just..."
