Chapter 211 What a beauty!
Xi Yan struggled for a long time before she finally pried Gu Xulin's hand apart. Mu Yun carried Gu Xulin on his back. He didn't know if Xi Yan was also injured or if he could still walk. When he turned around and was about to ask Xi Yan if he needed someone to help him, he saw the man had already climbed up from the ground. Seeing this, Mu Yun didn't say anything more and turned around and hurried to the stairs.
Xi Yan followed Mu Yun down to the top floor. Just after the three of them entered the elevator in the corridor, a figure hiding under the staircase platform on the top floor slowly walked out.
Luo Tingyu walked up to the corridor at the stairs and glanced at the closed elevator door over there, "Phantom God Clan?" He murmured in confusion, his words without any accent from any place, but very standard Mandarin.
Then the man turned around and continued to walk towards the rooftop. Looking at the sky outside that suddenly cleared up again, a very strange expression appeared on Luo Tingyu's face. He walked towards the ground where several drops of blood had fallen.
Luo Tingyu leaned forward and squatted, stretched out two fingers to dip some of the blood that had not yet dried on the ground and smeared it on his lips. He pursed his lips slightly, and the tip of his tongue rolled the blood on his lips into his mouth to taste it.
The man narrowed his eyes slightly, and his dark pupils turned red in the blink of an eye, and returned to normal in just a moment. Luo Tingyu said to himself with a thoughtful look on his cold face, "Is that so?"
He lowered his eyes, rubbed off the remaining blood stains on his fingertips, and clapped his hands. The man curled his lips slightly and revealed an interested smile, "It's getting more and more interesting."
When Xiang Aonan rushed into the restaurant on the second floor to find his sister to tell her that Gu Xulin was injured and unconscious, Yan Shun happened to be there. After hearing the news, he also hurried to the third floor with Xiang Aoqing and her brother.
Before leaving, Xiang Aoqing took the medical kit with her. It was troublesome to wait for the elevator from the second floor to the third floor, so the three of them took the stairs directly. When they passed the elevator entrance on the third floor, the door happened to open. Yan Shun looked at Luo Tingyu who walked out of the elevator, and he couldn't help asking, "Where have you been?"
Luo Tingyu opened his mouth to reply when he heard Yan Shun continue, "Major Gu is injured. Let's go and see if there is anything we can help with." After that, Yan Shun took him and continued to follow Xiang Aoqing and others towards Gu Xulin's residence.
"What? How did you get injured?" Luo Tingyu heard this. Although he had already heard the reasons why Gu Xulin was injured when he was standing behind the rooftop door before Mu Yun arrived, he still pretended to be confused and asked with a surprised look on his face.
Yan Shun shook his head. "I don't know. I heard from Aonan that he was seriously injured and is still in a coma."
As they were talking, they had already arrived in front of Gu Xulin's residence. They pushed the door open and saw Mu Yun and Xi Yan in the living room, as well as Gu Xulin lying on the sofa.
"Mu Yun, what happened to Brother Xulin?" Xiang Aoqing rushed to the two of them and put the medicine box on the coffee table. When she turned around and saw Gu Xulin's body covered in blood, Xiang Aoqing's face was filled with heartache and worry.
Mu Yun was unbuttoning the shirt of the unconscious Gu Xulin in order to treat his injuries. When he heard Xiang Aoqing's question, he tilted his head to look at her and said, "Don't ask so many questions. Treat the major's wound first." The main thing was that he wouldn't know the answer even if she asked him.
Seeing that Gu Xulin had a deep wound on his chest exposed after his shirt was taken off, and he was still unconscious, Xiang Aoqing did not ask any more questions and immediately opened the first aid kit to stop the bleeding of the man.
Mu Yun then hurriedly asked Xiang Aonan to look for a stone mortar for pounding medicine according to the instructions Xi Yan had just given him.
As soon as Luo Tingyu entered the room, he noticed Xi Yan sitting next to the coffee table. He secretly sized her up.
Perhaps his gaze was too hot and the man noticed it. Before Xi Yan turned her head to glance at him, Luo Tingyu immediately retracted his gaze and looked at Gu Xulin who was lying on the other end of the sofa with an expression as if nothing had happened and even a little worried.
Xi Yan, who did not catch that gaze, withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes, and continued to lean on the sofa with his eyes closed to rest.
After sensing that the man had retracted his gaze towards him, Luo Tingyu once again cast his curious eyes towards Xi Yan, but this time he restrained himself a little and just glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally.
Yan Shun stepped forward and asked Mu Yun about Gu Xulin's injuries. He felt relieved when he heard that his life was not in danger.
He turned around and was about to tell Luo Tingyu, who was as worried as he was, about Gu Xulin's situation, when he saw the man staring at the long-haired handsome man who was resting with his eyes closed across the coffee table.
"Hello?" Yan Shun frowned and nudged Luo Tingyu. He lowered his voice and asked in a sarcastic tone, "What's the matter? After being rejected by Ni Man, you started to change your sexual orientation and no longer like women?"
"What?" Luo Tingyu looked back at him as if he hadn't heard clearly. After realizing what he was asking, the man replied seriously, "No."
"Then why are you still staring at a man?" Yan Shun didn't quite understand.
Luo Tingyu glanced at him and saw that he had caught him staring at someone, but he seemed to have misunderstood something. Luo Tingyu pretended to be surprised and exclaimed, "What? A man?"
"No," he pointed at the person with closed eyes on the sofa, then pointed at his own hair and said in disbelief, "Doesn't this person have long hair?"
"Who told you that people with long hair are definitely women?" Yan Shun was speechless.
"..." Luo Tingyu was speechless. He put one hand on his chest and pretended to be heartbroken. "It's broken here again. How can she be a man when she is so beautiful? God is so unfair!"
"..." Yan Shun twitched his lips, his face darkened, "How can you tell someone is good-looking when you are so short-sighted that you can't even tell their gender?"
"You don't understand. Temperament is something that not everyone has, and not everyone has the same temperament." Luo Tingyu retorted, "Although I couldn't see his face clearly, but as soon as I saw his temperament, his long flowing hair and his long legs, I knew he must be a great beauty! Who would have thought he was actually a man!"
"Oh, yes, yes, it's me who doesn't understand, I'm superficial." Yan Shun rolled his eyes at him unhappily, feeling depressed. It turned out that I was the one with the least temperament!
At this time, Xiang Aonan, who had gone out to look for something, came back in a hurry. He walked towards Mu Yun with something in his hand and asked, "There is a garlic mortar in the kitchen. Will this work? Garlic mortars and stone mortars are both used for crushing things. They should be similar, right?"
"As long as it can be used to make medicine." Mu Yun took the things and disinfected them before putting them on the coffee table. He then took the fresh herbs that Xi Yan had prepared long ago and placed aside, put them all in and started pounding them.
Xiang Aoqing had bandaged the several knife wounds on Gu Xulin's body. Looking at the man's frowning face as he fell into deep sleep, and his lips which looked extremely pale due to excessive blood loss, Xiang Aoqing couldn't help but raise her hand and touch Gu Xulin's brow, as if trying to soothe the man's troubles.
"Master Xi?" After preparing the medicine, Mu Yun tentatively called out to the person opposite him who seemed to be asleep.
Hearing the call on the sofa, Xi Yan opened his eyes impatiently, thinking that the host had woken up. He got up and was about to go back to the spiritual space to rest, but he saw Gu Xulin lying opposite him still in a coma. He frowned in annoyance.
When the host is in a coma and unconscious state, the host's mental space will be closed, which means that Xi Yan cannot go back to heal his wounds.
When Mu Yun saw Xi Yan stand up, he hurriedly asked, "The medicine has been crushed."
Xi Yan lowered her eyes and glanced at him, then ordered, "Apply it to the wound on his back."
After that, Xi Yan walked towards Gu Xulin's room, and without turning her head, she told Mu Yun behind her, "I need to rest now. Don't let anyone enter the room to disturb me."
"Okay." Mu Yun responded.
After Gu Xulin's back injury was treated, Luo Tingyu looked at the closed door of the room across from the living room and asked Mu Yun curiously, "Who was that Lord Xi just now? How come we haven't seen this person in the few days we've been here?"
Mu Yun looked at him and explained, "I'm not very clear either. I only know that he is a friend of our major, named Xi Yan. It's normal that you haven't seen him. He often appears and disappears mysteriously, so don't pay too much attention to him. Although Master Xi seems to be difficult to get along with, and doesn't like us to call him by his name, he is a very nice person."
"Is that so?" Luo Tingyu murmured in response, "I understand. I have to call you Master Xi."
Yan Shun looked at Luo Tingyu who was asking about others with great interest. He couldn't help but mutter, "Why don't you call her Lady Xi instead of Lord Xi?"
