Xu Chen didn’t know whether Yun Zhuyue could survive even a stick of incense.
But he knew that Gu Xiao would not survive.
"I don't know...but..."
Gu Xiao struggled for a long time, lowered his head, his eyes red, and whispered: "Brother... I don't want to die."
Maybe she felt that what she said was not a good thing, so her voice became lower and lower, and the last word "death" could no longer be heard clearly.
The Xu Chen of the past might not have been able to hear it.
Xu Chen is now a great cultivator, so it is impossible for him not to hear clearly.
"I won't let you die."
Having said that, Xu Chen didn't know how to start.
His antidote is only for one person.
But I have to save two people.
How to do?
Heavy snow was falling outside the window, but beads of sweat were oozing from the tip of Xu Chen's nose. His clothes were quickly soaked with sweat and stuck to his back.
There is a way, there must be a way.
Yun Zhuyue heard the conversation between the two and understood Gu Xiao's identity. She asked, "Is this your younger sister?"
"Yes, my sister Gu Xiao, a teacher at Tianshuyuan."
Xu Chen introduced Gu Xiao to Yun Zhuyue, but in fact Gu Xiao was not his biological sister.
Gu Xiao was the child he took out from the pile of dead bodies.
She is not just a teacher at Tianshu Academy.
only……
For now, that's it.
"Hello, I am Yun Zhuyue, Xu Chen's wife."
Yun Zhuyue forced a smile and extended her hand towards Gu Xiao, saying, "Although it's a little late now, please give me your guidance."
"..."
Gu Xiao did not reach out his hand immediately and fell into a long silence.
Several inexplicable emotions emerged in her ruby-red eyes, entangled like silk threads, so complicated that they could not be sorted out.
She neither reached out her hand nor spoke a word, but remained silent.
Yun Zhuyue was a little confused and asked Xu Chen, "What's wrong with her?"
"You're still feeling sad about the poisoning, right?"
"Husband, you have the antidote, right?"
"what?"
Xu Chen was shocked when Yun Zhuyue pointed out what was in his heart, but he still pretended to react like an ordinary person and asked back two words.
Even Gu Xiao came out of his own thoughts and looked at Xu Chen.
"We've been together for so long, can't I tell what you're thinking?"
Yun Zhuyue put on a detective look and said with a smile, "But you're not the kind of person who would play tricks on us. That means the antidote is definitely not enough for two people, right?"
She seemed to see through everything.
If someone truly likes you, your every move will not escape her eyes.
Xu Chen suspected that Sherlock Holmes was not as powerful as Yun Zhuyue, and said, "No..."
He was like someone who stubbornly refused to acknowledge the other person's point of view and subconsciously denied it.
He didn't want to worry the two of them, didn't want them to think about it.
This is too cruel for them.
"Don't act so calm when you're lying."
Yun Zhuyue tapped Xu Chen on the head and said, "That's very tiring."
"I really didn't..."
"Don't think too much. Give the antidote to your sister."
Yun Zhuyue made a choice for Xu Chen, her tone so calm as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
Hearing this, Xu Chen opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't utter a word. After a while, he said solemnly, "What are you talking about..."
"I say give the antidote to my sister."
"Why!"
Before Xu Chen had time to speak, Gu Xiao asked this question.
"I've been with your brother long enough to be happy."
Yun Zhuyue placed her hand on her chest. The poison in her body continued to deepen, and her breathing became rapid: "Sister is still young, you haven't married yet, and you haven't met the person you like yet."
"We've met a long time ago."
Gu Xiao responded tremblingly, clutching the corner of her clothes with both hands, shaking uncontrollably.
Yun Zhuyue was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's even better. Go and pursue your own happiness."
Gu Xiao fell silent again.
She couldn't say anything.
Just as she said before, she had met him a long time ago.
I have already met the person I like.
It's just that I never said it out loud.
That's why I was silent for so long just now.
She couldn't imagine Xu Chen being with someone else, and couldn't imagine herself having a sister-in-law in the future.
But she never expected that Yun Zhuyue would give her the chance to live.
why?
Why is this happening?
Isn't she afraid?
Why can some people face death so calmly?
Do not understand.
Don't understand it at all.
Gu Xiao couldn't understand Yun Zhuyue at all, and couldn't understand why Yun Zhuyue was still blessing her at this moment.
Xu Chen couldn't bear to let this go on, so he said, "I will save you. I will save you all."
"Stop saying such irresponsible things."
The wind outside the window penetrated the narrow crack of the temple door and entered the house, making it even colder.
The air in Xu's lungs suddenly became thin.
"Let me die."
she said.
One hundred and thirty-two, I have an idea
"Let me die."
As soon as these four words were spoken, the entire temple fell silent.
The snow outside was getting heavier, and the whistling wind kept ringing in my ears.
Yun Zhuyue did not let Xu Chen think about this extremely difficult choice, but automatically wrote down the answer to this multiple-choice question.
In an almost decisive way.
The original choice between two options seemed to have become a must, and even the person involved agreed to give the antidote to Gu Xiao.
Even if Xu Chen gave up Yun Zhuyue at this moment, no one would say anything.
but……
The more Yun Zhuyue said this, the more conflicted Xu Chen became.
Since she said this, what reason do I have to abandon her?
Xu Chen fell into a deeper abyss and remained silent.
He couldn't agree with Yun Zhuyue's statement, nor did he want Gu Xiao to die.
Is there no way to have the best of both worlds?
"Husband, what are you still thinking about? Give the antidote to your sister quickly."
Yun Zhuyue seemed a little anxious about Xu Chen's silence and urged him.
"No."
Xu Chen shook his head and said, "I must save you."
"Do you have an antidote for two people?"
"No."
"That's it, isn't it? This isn't some profound question. There's no other solution."
Yun Zhuyue didn't think Xu Chen could come up with a solution that would satisfy both parties. She said, "If there is an antidote, there is one. If there is not, there is not. You can't find another antidote in such a short time."
This is the truth.
This antidote was not easy to come by. It took Xu Chen twenty years to obtain it, and it was obtained by chance.
He is now much stronger than before, but those precious medicinal herbs cannot be obtained just by being strong, it requires opportunity.
Besides, even if he knew where those precious medicinal herbs were, there was no way he could do it.
Because time is running out.
Nearly one-third of the incense stick has burned, and only two-thirds of the time is left.
Even if he is the best person in the world now, it is still very difficult for him to find those precious medicinal herbs in the whole continent in such a short time.
"Brother, give the antidote to my sister-in-law."
At this moment, Gu Xiao's voice also reached Xu Chen's ears.
Gu Xiao was very scared, but after listening to Yun Zhuyue's words, she decided it would be better to give up on herself.
Yun Zhuyue was willing to give the antidote to someone she had never met, but she was still afraid of death. What qualifications did she have to get the antidote?
What's more, she is Xu Chen's wife.
Should be with Xu Chen.
It would be best if she died alone.
"How can this be? Just listen to me and give it to your sister."
Yun Zhuyue didn't understand Gu Xiao's inner world, and of course she wouldn't allow such a thing to happen, so she said to Xu Chen.
Things got even messier.
"give me some more time."
Xu Chen covered his forehead with his hands, sat down on the messy ground, and said, "I will definitely find a way, just like before."
Yun Zhuyue and Gu Xiao fell silent together in tacit understanding. They knew that talking now would only disturb Xu Chen's thoughts.
