The sight of Feng Xingzhi spitting out fresh blood fell into Jiang Yaoji's eyes.
Her hand gripping the sword trembled slightly. This was a feeling she had never experienced before. It seemed to be called regret.
Jiang Yaoji, who had always acted without considering the consequences, felt regret for the first time. Why couldn't she control herself? Why did she hurt Xingzhi?
The power of the sword in her hand would surely mean certain death for Feng Xingzhi.
Feeling something wet on her hand, Jiang Yaoji looked down and saw that her hand was stained with quite a bit of blood.
Was this Feng Xingzhi's blood? Just one strike, and there was so much blood?
Was Ji Yunxi really that important? Important enough for him to take a blow for her with his own body?
Jiang Yaoji looked at the sword in her hand. Blood kept dripping down and then mixing into the water. She couldn't quite tell what she was feeling. All she knew was that it was so sour that it made her teeth ache and her eyes well up.
He had never regarded her as an important person.
She wanted to go and check on Feng Xingzhi's injuries, but looking at the somewhat crazy Ji Yunxi at the moment, she was a bit afraid to step forward.
Her hands trembling, Jiang Yaoji stood there alone, at a loss.
Seeing this, a person from the Moon - Gazing Pavilion quietly came to her side and asked, "My Lady, shall we... take this opportunity to kill Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi?"
Hearing the words "kill Feng Xingzhi", Jiang Yaoji's expression turned extremely terrifying. She immediately glared at the person and said, "Kill who? Get out of here!"
The servant was greatly frightened and lost his balance, falling into the water with a splash.
This splash seemed to wake Jiang Yaoji up. She gritted her teeth, turned around, and said, "Retreat!"
The servants couldn't believe it and raised their voices, "My Lady! Retreat...?!"
"Can't you understand what I'm saying? I said retreat! Get out of here!"
She hurriedly returned to the shore and happened to face Jiang Yin, who was clutching his chest.
Jiang Yin knew that she didn't attack because of Feng Xingzhi. He felt a bit sorry for her and said, "My Lady, kill Ji Yunxi first..."
"Shut up." She scolded him with a dark face but still reached out and pulled him up. "Let's go back and get your wounds treated first."
Jiang Yin felt a bit guilty. If he wasn't so weak, would his Lady not have to retreat?
Jiang Yaoji looked back at Feng Xingzhi lying on the ground, clenched her fist, and said, "Let's go."
They walked very fast, as if in a hasty retreat. Jiang Yin whispered, "My Lady, why don't we take Feng... back for treatment?"
There was a tear welling up in Jiang Yaoji's eyes. "No, I can't take him back."
She looked up at the sky as if there were a pair of eyes staring at her. "If I take him back for treatment and that man finds out, he will surely come and kill Xingzhi himself. He will never allow Xingzhi to live."
Jiang Yin knew that his Lady had been dealing with a dangerous person. Just as he was about to suggest setting up a barrier, Jiang Yaoji continued, "Moreover, the medicinal materials in the human world are impossible to cure Xingzhi's injuries. The best way now is to let Ji Yunxi take him back to Kunlun for treatment as soon as possible. With Ronghua and the others there, Xingzhi still has a chance of survival."
It was obvious that she had thought a lot for Feng Xingzhi, but Jiang Yin felt sorry for his Lady when he saw this. In his opinion, his Lady was whole - hearted, and she had known Feng Xingzhi first. But this man was so ungrateful. He had always been extremely cold to his Lady and had even been rude to her because of Ji Yunxi.
He was really unappreciative.
Although he was reluctant, and this was the best opportunity to kill Ji Yunxi, since his Lady was not willing to risk Feng Xingzhi's life, he would naturally follow his Lady's orders whole - heartedly.
The group quickly retreated, but unexpectedly, they happened to meet Lu Shu, who was leading people here.
From afar, Lu Shu remembered what Gao Wanwan had said to him before she left. "Mr. Lu! Jiang Yaoji led the people from the Moon - Gazing Pavilion to surround the Prince and Yunxi. She even deliberately spread the news to attract the noble families to the Azure Water Lake to seize treasures. In the end, she just wanted to make us enemies with Yunxi!"
Lu Shu was already furious. He was just waiting to see Jiang Yaoji and make her pay the price!
Now that he happened to meet her, there was no way he would let Jiang Yaoji escape.
"Jiang Yaoji!"
He drew his sword and rushed straight at her.
Jiang Yaoji hadn't yet recovered from the previous state. Seeing Lu Shu's sword coming towards her, she turned around to dodge.
However, it was too late. Lu Shu's sword was very sharp and directly stabbed Jiang Yaoji's shoulder. Fresh blood quickly gushed out, staining her clothes red. She staggered and fell into Jiang Yin's arms.
Because of this incident, the people from the Dream - Blossom Pavilion and the Moon - Gazing Pavilion glared at each other, drew their swords, and were ready to fight at any moment.
Jiang Yin's eyes were also filled with killing intent. "My Lady, I'll go and kill him."
"Wait. Lu Shu, I have no intention of entangling with you today." Jiang Yaoji reached out and grabbed Jiang Yin. "You'd better go and check on Feng Xingzhi quickly instead of fighting with me. If he doesn't get treatment soon, he will surely die!"
Lu Shu didn't suspect that she was lying to him. After she finished speaking, he immediately felt a dull pain in his chest. This was a response from the master - servant contract. He immediately put away his sword.
"If you don't go, you'll be waiting to collect his corpse. Let's go."
The people from the Dream - Blossom Pavilion were a bit anxious and immediately called out to Lu Shu, "Steward, are we just going to let them go?"
"Let them go."
Lu Shu couldn't wait any longer. He immediately led the people to chase after the place where Ji Yunxi was.
Ji Yunxi had calmed down by now. She found that Feng Xingzhi's pulse was getting weaker and weaker, and he couldn't answer any questions. Ji Yunxi half - hugged and half - supported him.
Qing Xuan stood on one side to help. When Lu Shu rushed over, he happened to see them just getting on the shore. Without having time to ask what had happened, he quickly stepped forward to help.
Finally, there was help. Ji Yunxi said to Qing Xuan, "Qing Xuan! Hurry back to Kunlun and ask Immortal Venerable Ronghua to bring medicine to help."
Qing Xuan didn't dare to delay. With a spin, he disappeared in front of everyone.
Lu Shu looked at his master covered in blood. He didn't know how to support him. The trembling of his fingertips revealed his nervousness.
"Someone! Find a carriage! Hurry up!"
Lu Shu's voice was a bit hoarse as he roared for someone to find a carriage.
The carriage sped all the way in the direction of Kunlun, and even a horse was injured from running.
Ji Yunxi simply bandaged Feng Xingzhi's wound on the way, and the blood finally stopped slowly.
The breath she had been holding finally eased a bit. Holding Feng Xingzhi's hand, she finally shed tears.
Lu Shu watched from the side and reached out to put his arm around Ji Yunxi's shoulder. "Master, it will be okay."
"It's all because of me, A Shu. A Zhi did it all for me." She sobbed. The temperature of the hand in hers didn't rise because of her tears.
Feeling the temperature gradually dropping, Ji Yunxi was startled. She quickly stepped forward to hug Feng Xingzhi and released her spiritual power to warm his body.
Lu Shu watched from the side and didn't say a word.
