Gu Xijiu simply stared at The Lord with eyes full of indignation .
Briefly after, the seven-colored halo that surrounded Long Siye faded . Long Siye's face was pale as he kneeled helplessly on the ground . Unsure of where his wounds were, he kneeled with sweats rolling down his face .
Gu Xijiu was beside Long Siye, anxiously trying to read his pulse with trembling fingers .
Long Siye was in great pain . His robes were all soaked in sweat, but he did not want Gu Xijiu to be worried . He raised his hand and stopped her from reading his pulse . "It is alright . I… I am fine . "
"Let me… Let me check," Gu Xijiu answered in a hoa.r.s.e voice, as though she was trying very hard to repress her struggles . "Please, I beg you . Let me have a look . "
She tried very hard to stop her body from trembling . Her face was as pale as paper . Nevertheless, she chose to focus on Long Siye with her unmoving, dark eyes . "Let me have a look at you . "
Long Siye finally stopped resisting .
Gu Xijiu tried to read his pulse with the tips of her icy cold fingers . She looked very serious, like a real doctor .
The circulation in Long Siye's body was a mess as his blood pressure kept surging . He could feel pain in every inch of his body, so much so that he wanted to turn and toss on the floor to ease the pain . However, he did not want Gu Xijiu to be worried, so he held back his pain and gave her a comforting smile . "Nothing . It is nothing . There is only a little pain . Later… I'll be fine later . "
Gu Xijiu fixed her eyes on him without saying anything . Through the tip of her fingers, a steady stream of spiritual power slowly entered his system . The spiritual power served to comfort his messed up circulation .
His condition was not too bad, as it did not take too long for his pulse to return to its normal rate . The pain in his body had been greatly reduced as well . Finally, Long Siye stopped sweating, and his complexion returned to normal .
Gu Xijiu removed her hand . "How do you feel now?"
Long Siye looked into his body condition and realized that his spiritual power seemed to have been reduced . He was about to reach level ten before this . Now he was not even at level nine .
He was actually relieved . He thought that he would lose all of his spiritual power .
"Fine, I am fine," he quickly explained . It was a shame that he had lost one level, but the condition was not as bad as he thought . He could always practice more and regain his current status .
Gu Xijiu's eyes were filled with concern . She observed his complexion again and murmured, "You spiritual power has been reduced . "
"Just a little . It does not matter . "
Gu Xijiu closed her eyes for a brief moment before she continued, "How can you say it does not matter? It is very difficult for you to advance from level eight to level nine . " She hesitated . Her lips were starting to tremble, but she tried to smile . "I got you into trouble . It is my entire fault . I should have behaved better . I will not do it aga . . . " Before she could finish, she started to vomit blood . Her body then started to sway . Immediately, she suffered from a blackout and fell .
"Xijiu!"
In a blur, she could still remember that Long Siye called her name out loud . She could feel that she fell into a man's arms . Then, she lost consciousness completely .
…
Gu Xijiu was sick for three days . The fever came and went . She was unconscious .
In her sleep, she could tell that someone kept holding onto her hand . Someone kept talking to her and telling her that she should stay strong .
How could she stay strong?
She was exhausted .
She had always been a very strong and determined woman who would not rest until she had reached her goals .
No matter how difficult the situation was, she would always do everything she could to overcome the problem . She had always been very optimistic .
