Chapter 783: I'll leave my life here

Han Yunxi’s trio were the only ones left in the apricot woods once the crowd rushed out of the forest to see what was the matter. The world grew quiet in their wake. Gu Beiyue looked at Gu Qishao from a distance with knitted brows. His fists were still clenched! Nothing had ever left his calm, gentle self so depressed and discontented besides Han Yunxi’s matters. 

Gu Yuntian’s sins are unforgivable! Medical City has gone too far!

Han Yunxi simply stood by Gu Qishao’s side while staring at him. Her eyes were redder than a rabbit’s. She felt like she had to do something. In fact, she wanted to hug Little Qi tightly, but the man before her was nothing like the child in Head Elder Ling’s stories. Nor was he anything like the Little Qi in Gu Yuntian’s medical records. Little Qi had long grown up and hidden himself in the very depths of Gu Qishao’s heart. He would never appear again.

This was Gu Qishao, a man who didn’t need anyone to protect him anymore. He was the Qi gege who protected her instead…

Time was cruel. No one could return to the past and protect Little Qi. Both fate and luck played a part in shielding others. It wasn’t just anyone who had the serendipity to meet. That was why so many people had to bear their pains and sufferings alone in this world. Han Yunxi didn’t know what to do, but Gu Qishao only smiled at her. This left her even more at a loss!

Finally, she couldn’t help herself and raged, “Enough, stop it! Don’t smile anymore! You idiot!”

Perhaps Han Yunxi herself didn’t even know how much Gu Qishao wanted to hide his horrific scars from her sight. If possible, he’d rather she never know at all and only see him smile.

“Poison lass, you think your Qi gege’s helping you? Heheh, Qi gege’s been waiting for this day for ages. Come on, there’s a good show waiting for us ahead!” As he spoke, he took Han Yunxi’s hand and pulled her towards the woods. Gu Beiyue finally reacted enough to hurry after them. The entire way, Gu Qishao flew very fast. His grip on Han Yunxi’s hand was very tight, even though he could clearly hear her calling out.

“Little Qi, let’s leave! Why don’t we get out of this place? Little Qi, let’s never come back, alright?”

He only pretended to hear nothing.

By the time they reached the medical academy, there was nothing but pandemonium. Chu Xifeng and Xu Donglin had already forced their way into Gu Yuntian’s back courtyard and discovered the entrance to his secret underground chamber before countless members of the academy. Then they retrieved a giant pile of poison texts from its chests. Both of them had received Gu Qishao’s news only last night. He had told them how to sneak into the academy, then the location of the underground chamber. In fact, he even knew where the manuals had been squirreled away. Although the academy had guards, Gu Qishao’s pointers were more than enough for the duo to complete their mission with ease. 

The guards that had tried to hold them back, as well as the various directors of the academy, were all scared witless by the sight of the manuals. They were still trying to figure out what was going on when Gu Qishao’s agents in the academy lured over a massive crowd. Once the people saw the books, the news went public to all corners. By the time the guests of the Apricot Woods Conference arrived on the scene, all of medical academy had learned of the happenings. Thus, it was nothing but chaos when Gu Qishao, Han Yunxi, and Gu Beiyue caught up.

Department Head Ouyang had ordered men to completely surrounded Chu Xifeng and Xu Donglin, accusing them of planting the poison texts here to frame the academy.
