Chapter 19: The Line of Life and Death

Niantong looked at his eyes gradually closing, and her heart felt a grief that she had never felt before. She had never experienced such a close person dying in front of her, especially Yi Yang's death because of her.

She shouted in a breaking voice, tears flowing down her cheeks. Her cowardice and forbearance, her concession and soft-heartedness have caused the situation today, and she will never hurt anyone who loves her. From then on, Xu Niantong lived for her only one person and would never be infected with any other reason.

She forced herself to stand up and said to Shen Yanyi: "Do you still have to fight? Let's continue?"

"I'm here." Tang Xi's voice sounded behind her back.

The psychological defense line that Niantong had just built collapsed again at that moment. She knew that the blood curse between the master and the disciple finally showed its effect at this moment. But if it weren't for Yi Yang, she might have been dead.

"Master..." She turned around, not only Tang Xi, but Guo Lili also came.

Tang Xi saw her covered in blood and her brows were deeper than hers. He quickly walked over and hugged her waist, and saw the arrow in her lower abdomen. The anger in her eyes seemed to burn the entire Hongxiu Villa.

Suddenly Niantong frowned suddenly, grabbed her sleeves tightly, endured the pain, and let out a muffled groan.

"What's wrong?" Tang Xi asked her with fear.

"There is poison in my body..." Niantong said, and she couldn't help but fainted in Tang Xi's arms.

Guo Lili stepped forward, looked at the injured Niantong, and said, "Tang Xi, take her back first."

"Senior sister, then you..."

"I'm leaving the rear, I don't believe it. You and I are here, what do they dare to do?" Guo Lili said coldly.

"Yi Yang's body..." Although Tang Xi didn't like him, he finally died to save Niantong, and he felt a little pity in his heart.

"I'll do it." Yun Weichen's voice sounded.

Tang Xi looked back at him.

Yun Weichen looked at Nian Tong, who was sleeping in Tang Xi's arms with compassion, shook his head, turned to look at Shen Yanyi with a surprised look, and said, "Yanyi, it's time to stop."

Shen Yanyi's face also turned pale. She looked at her beloved man talking to her so coldly. She felt like a basin of cold water pouring into the air, making her feel cold all over.

"Weichen..." she opened her mouth and called out softly.

"Yan Yi, I hope you can think about it carefully. What to do will make you live happier." Yun Weichen walked over, helped Yi Yang's body up, turned over and said to Tang Xi, "Let's go."

Guo Lili walked at the end and escorted Tang Xi and Yun Weichen to leave. Because they were all masters, and Shen Yanyi was shocked by Yun Weichen's words, no one dared to step forward for the moment.

Tang Xi hugged Nian Tong and walked forward step by step, for fear that the heavy movement would hurt her. Even in a drowsy sleep, she kept frowning. Tang Xi felt that her heart was tightened and she could not protect her well, and she didn't notice her thoughts at all.

Xu Yungui had a light skill and flew in front of them. Tang Xi was thinking about his worries, but suddenly his eyebrows were frowned, he raised his head and looked straight at Xu Yungui.

"Want to take her away?"

"Stop talking nonsense, beat me if you want!" Guo Lili said.

"You are all masters among the masters. I won't fight with you. As long as you return the military talisman that Niantong took to me, I will let you go."

"Just, if you don't let go, can't we still leave?" Tang Xi sneered coldly.

"I don't know if I can't leave, but what I know is that the poison she was in... I only have the antidote, otherwise, even if you take her away, I will torture her until death." Xu Yungui said with a smile, as if he was not his own sister at all.

"You!" Guo Lili was so angry.

"Do you think you can beat the court if you get the military talisman? It's just a fool. If you want the military talisman? Then you can take it away!" Tang Xi pulled off the jade talisman tied to Niantong's sword and threw it over.

Xu Yungui caught it and said, "It's great." Then he threw out a small bottle from his sleeve and said, "This is the antidote, take it every three days."

Tang Xi didn't say much, and walked out without looking back with Nian Tong. Guo Lili still followed closely in case the situation suddenly changed.

Because the journey between Wanjun Mansion and Hongxiu Villa takes at least half a day, neither Qu Yiran nor Jisheng came and waited for them to come back in Wanjun Mansion.

Niantong was too seriously injured, and because Yun Weichen took Yi Yang's body, the group couldn't walk fast. Worried that the carriage would bump, they had to find an inn in Hongyeling to rest, and a letter asked Jisheng and Qu Yiran to come quickly.

Tang Xi hugged Nian Tong and hurriedly walked into the room. Nian Tong's head was covered in coldness and his lips were pale. Guo Lili followed Ashikun for a long time and understood some medical techniques. Ordinary treatments would still be possible.

Guo Lili asked the inn servant to come and beat a few basins of water, took scissors and slowly cut Niantong's clothes, turned to Tang Xi and said, "You are a big man, even if you are her master, you can't just watch it."

Tang Xi was stunned and did not move, but his eyes kept looking at Nian Tong on the bed.

"You can't leave!" Guo Lili shouted.

Tang Xi's face changed a little, and he moved his steps stiffly and walked out.

Guo Lili cut Niantong's clothes and saw the shocking wound. She was still a little shocked. She quickly wet the cloth with water and wiped the blood around Niantong's wounds carefully. Looking at the short arrow, she didn't know whether she should start.

Guo Lili pondered for a moment, took a pot of wine beside her, gritted her teeth, closed her eyes and poured the wine on Niantong's wound.

"Yes..." Niantong frowned tightly in pain while sleeping, and let out a soft moan.

"Niantong, hold back..."

Guo Lili felt a bead of sweat falling off her head, which stuck her eyes. She gently placed the arrow on her right hand, calming her mind and pulling it out with force.

Blood gushed out, and Niantong completely fainted and no longer felt anything.

Guo Lili swallowed nervously, quickly picked up the gauze next to her, and carefully bandaged her.

"Hold on, hold on..." Guo Lili kept reciting.

After finally bandaging it, Guo Lili breathed a sigh of relief. She took out the antidote given by Xu Yungui from the side and fed Niantong.

"Senior Sister..." Tang Xi opened the door.

Guo Lili immediately covered Nian Tong with a quilt and glanced at him: "Who asked you to come in? What if I'm not well yet?"

"I...I forgot, I seem to be a little confused now."

"What a daze you are? You are simply brainless now." Guo Lili scolded fiercely.

"I... I just went to the pharmacy to buy blood-replenishing medicine, I'll cook her..."

"I'll do it, what do you know?" Guo Lili walked over and took the medicine from Tang Xi's hand. "I just bandaged Niantong and fed the medicine. You go and take care of her now. This girl is in great pain."

Tang Xi nodded dullly, walked to Nian Tong's bed, and sat down silently. Because the quilt was covered casually just now, Nian Tong's hands were still exposed, so he gently picked up her cold little hand and put it in the quilt.

Tang Xi just looked at her face like this. What was in her dream? I can't remember how many times it was to look at her injured like this. He told himself that there would never be another time, but she didn't do it.

He even felt that he was not worthy of being her master, or even worthy of being by her side. Her decisiveness and courage, he felt that he even surpassed him.

He picked up the handkerchief next to him, wiped the sweat beads on Niantong's forehead, and sighed. He felt that he was useless now and could not even protect his beloved.

"Niantong..." He called her name softly.

He suddenly thought that when she was injured and unconscious, she would call his name in her dreams, but other than that, when she was awake, she never clearly expressed her feelings, and even rejected herself.

She said she likes Yi Yang, and now Yi Yang dies to protect her. In any case, Yi Yang will truly live in her heart for the rest of her life. And what about him? He doesn't know what weight he has in Niantong's heart. Sometimes, he would rather protect her and die for her. Tang Xi, in this way, at least he can stay in Niantong's heart forever.

"No...No..." Niantong said softly, twitching her head uneasyly.

"I don't want anything?" Tang Xi asked.

"Don't die, don't leave me..."

Tang Xi smiled bitterly. After thinking about it just now, sure enough, what she was thinking about was Yi Yang. But the next moment, she heard Nian Tong say:

"Yi Yang, don't die... Tang Xi, don't leave me..."

Tang Xi immediately gathered his god and looked at her. He was almost uncertain whether he had really heard his name.

"I won't leave you..." He said in a choking voice by holding her hand under the quilt.

A man can shed blood, but he never shed tears. When he grew up, he only shed tears for Niantong alone.

Niantong gradually calmed down and finally fell asleep under Tang Xi's comfort. Guo Lili opened the door and walked in with the hot medicine.

"She fell asleep?" Guo Lili asked, looking at her peaceful but no longer so painful expression.

Tang Xi nodded.

"Actually, Niantong may really like you?" Guo Lili said.

"..." Tang Xi was a little stunned.

"I know you like her, but I can't see it. You didn't say it before, because you are a master-apprentice relationship, and now it's because Niantong doesn't want to, right?"

Tang Xi lowered his eyes and said, "Yes."

"The person involved is the most difficult to see his feelings clearly. Yi Yang is dead. I think Niantong should be able to understand his deep feelings soon." Guo Lili said.

Tang Xi just asked: "Where is Yi Yang and Yun Weichen?"

"Yun Weichen brought Yi Yang and went back. Yi Yang...I put his body next door. Let's wait until Niantong wakes up before making a decision." Guo Lili said.
