Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧∀≦*)

Gu Jiao shook her head and approached the bed, "We don't know. No one saw who it was, but there's a palm print left behind. Otherwise, we wouldn't even know he was struck."

"A palm print?" Lady Nan hurried over, unbuttoning Gu Yan's clothes. She looked closely and her expression darkened, "Cloud Nine Palm?"

"What's Cloud Nine Palm?" Gu Jiao asked.

Lady Nan said solemnly, "It's the ultimate skill of the Nangong Family of the State of Yan. The danger of this palm technique lies in the fact that it seems harmless at the moment of impact, but afterward, the tendons and veins gradually rupture. This palm strike was controlled; the person didn't intend to kill, just wanted to vent some frustration and teach Yan'er some lesson."

Gu Jiao frowned, "Nangong, Family?"

Could it be Nangong Li?

Nangong Li had his arm severed by Chang Jing and had been hiding and moving around recently. Could he have sneaked into Qinghe Academy today?

Nangong Li didn't know Gu Yan. He probably just accidentally bumped into Gu Yan and was annoyed that Gu Yan was blocking his way, so he angrily struck Gu Yan with a palm strike.

It seemed accidental, but in fact, his actions were extremely wicked.

Gu Yan didn't provoke him nor did he do anything to him, he was just accidentally in his way... and yet he resorted to such violence against a weak scholar.

Was he still human?

Gu Jiao's eyes turned icy.

Nangong Li, you'd better not be the one, otherwise...

Lady Nan was also furious. Gu Yan was just an innocent child, but some beast from the Nangong Family dared to lay their hands on him!

"How did someone from the Nangong Family end up in the State of Zhao?" Master Lu asked Lady Nan quietly.

"I don’t know!" Lady Nan said irritably.

Master Lu choked up and didn't say anything again.

He understood that Lady Nan wasn't targeting him. She was just very angry.

To be honest, he himself was quite angry. Regardless of who in the Nangong Family did it, this behavior was more abominable than purposeful retaliation and seeking revenge.

It was simply disregarding human life, an inhumane act!

Lady Nan looked at the weak Gu Yan and closed her eyes in distress.

If he was poisoned, she could detoxify him, but she was powerless to cure his illness.

"JiaoJiao, can you heal Yan'er?" She asked Gu Jiao hopefully.

Actually, she understood that this hope was very slim. If Gu Jiao could cure him, she wouldn't look like this.

"I'll think about it first." Gu Jiao said and went to the study.

Lady Nan didn't dare to leave. She stayed in the east room to watch over Gu Yan.

After nightfall, family members returned to Bishui Alley one after another, and then everyone learned about Gu Yan's worsening condition.

Yao shi continued to cry her heart out.

Even little Gu Xiaobao, who never cried, pouted his small mouth, his big eyes brimming with tears.

Empress Dowager Zhuang rushed over from the palace.

She only had one request for Gu Yan, which was to stay alive. But now, even this request seemed like a luxury.

She sat by Gu Yan's bedside, and suddenly, she looked much older.

Huangfu Xian and Little Jing Kong also came to the east room.

Huangfu Xian had not been living in Bishui Alley for long, and he thought he was just an outsider. But seeing Gu Yan unconscious, he felt unexpectedly sad.

Little Jing Kong, who was usually talkative, was silent this time. He stood by the bed, his eyes wide open, watching Gu Yan.

Even when Gu Yan had a severe episode after being mistreated by Tang Ming, the atmosphere wasn't as heavy as it was now. It seemed like everyone felt that Gu Yan's situation was truly precarious.

Old Chief didn't dare to speak up. He quietly went to the kitchen to cook, and as he added firewood to the stove, tears silently fell.

"Old Master, what's the matter?" Yuya’er asked with concern.

Old Chief wiped his eyes with his sleeve and said, "The smoke, the smoke is too much."

Xiao Heng was the last one to arrive home. Liu Quan told him about Gu Yan's condition when he went to pick him up, and he immediately dropped his official duties and rushed back home.

The whole family was distressed about Gu Yan, but he knew that Gu Jiao must be feeling the worst.

She was both his elder twin sister and a physician. She would never allow herself to fail in healing Gu Yan.

Xiao Heng found Gu Jiao in the study.

Gu Jiao was holding a charcoal pencil and scribbling on a piece of paper.

"JiaoJiao." Xiao Heng stepped into the room.

Gu Jiao's writing paused for a moment. She looked up at him, and there was a hint of distress in her voice that she had never shown to others, "Husband."

Xiao Heng's heart twinged painfully.

He walked around the desk and approached her, bending down to look at her intently. "Everything will be fine. Ah Yan will be fine."

Gu Jiao remained calm and handed him the paper on the table, "These are the equipment and medicines I've listed. The ones circled in cinnabar are what we already have. I haven't managed to obtain the rest yet."

Xiao Heng took the paper and glanced at it. It was almost completely filled with items, but only a fraction of them were circled in cinnabar.

She was very tough.

So tough it was heartbreaking.

Xiao Heng gently stroked her hair, "With all these things, can Ah Yan be saved?"

"If we have everything, I can perform the surgery myself." She emphasized.

Xiao Heng looked at the strange names on the paper, "What are all these?"

"These are the equipment needed for surgery; things I can’t take out from my medicine chest." Gu Jiao said firmly.

"This... is a drawing you made?" Xiao Heng asked, looking at the image on the back.

Gu Jiao nodded.

After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Heng suddenly said, "Wait here."

Gu Jiao looked at him strangely.

He went to the bookshelf, took out a box, and pulled out a yellowed piece of paper from inside, "Could it be this one?"

Gu Jiao took it and paused, her expression frozen.

Wasn't this a blueprint for a modern operating room?

"Where did this come from?" Gu Jiao asked.

"It was tucked inside Jing Kong's arithmetic book from the State of Yan. I didn't know what it was, but it seemed important, so I took it out and kept it aside." Xiao Heng explained.

The State of Yan had a modern operating room? Or was the State of Yan planning to build one?

With the arithmetic book and the blueprint for the operating room, the existence of a senior transmigrator in the State of Yan was practically confirmed.

Gu Jiao held the paper in her hand, and a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in her heart, "The State of Yan has what I need!"

Xiao Heng's eyes darkened for a moment.

The State of Yan, a place he should never set foot in.

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
