Chapter 113: Between Life and Death 1

  "Cheer up, but don't let it delay your business!"

  "Oh, in that case, be careful, if you encounter an opponent stronger than you, don't force yourself too much! Also, take this bottle of medicine with you for self-defense, eat as much as you need to survive, just don't die, and I'll have a way to save you later!" Xīao Yāo said while handing Nán Gōng Sù Xīn a porcelain bottle.

  "You damn thing, don't you have any good words? Early in the morning, I'm going to be responsible for whatever problem I have!" Nan Gong Su Xin said with a bad tone while taking over the porcelain bottle, and at this time she didn't even bother to look at what kind of wound medicine was inside the bottle.

  "I'll be responsible for curing you!" Xiao Yao replied casually, then continued with his daily routine, going to the Hanlin Academy to read books.

  During this period, Xiao Yao became a frequent visitor to the Hanlin Academy and also became a well-known figure!

  Everyone in the Imperial Academy knows that there is a poor scholar who sweeps through the hidden books, reading everything, including the most obscure books, and his reading speed is incredibly fast, much faster than ordinary people flipping through books.

  If no one had tried it before, I absolutely wouldn't have believed that reading like this could remember anything, but as a result of trying it out, I discovered that all these books were already memorized by this poor student.

  This is really unbelievable, this poor scholar has made the phrase "one glance and ten lines" not exaggerated at all, but even a bit too mild, and under such speed, he can still achieve "glancing through without forgetting", this is what's truly frightening.

  However, after all, you are a bookworm. Even if so, it didn't attract much attention from others. What's the use of reading more books? You're still a poor bookworm. Wait until you achieve something before talking.

  In this regard, talent may not make people feel the need to pay attention, after all, it's not martial arts, literati can do this, it's just equivalent to a mobile library, what else can be done?

  You want an official position? First, you need to pass the imperial examination and get your name on the golden list. Then, the emperor will grant you an official position and so on. You must achieve these first before we talk!

  Apart from the initial excitement, people here have gradually stopped paying attention to Xiao Yao. Of course, this doesn't affect his current popularity here, but after he leaves, I believe he will soon be forgotten by everyone.

  On this day, Xiao Yao had already started reading books in a row of houses inside. These were basically all high-quality books that were relatively rare on the mainland, and they were exactly what Xiao Yao liked. If it weren't for this, he might have accompanied Nangong Suxin together instead.

  Between Shu and Nangong Suzxin, Xiao Yao made a very decisive choice - Shu!!

  Even if something unexpected happened afterwards, he didn't regret this choice, because he thought that even if he came again, he would still choose the same way, what's there to regret!

  Since it has happened, we should go solve it instead of thinking about what if previously!

  On the other hand, a game that should have been a normal competition took an unexpected turn, a change so fast that no one could react!

  "Heavenly Demon Transformation!!"

  "Nangong Susu, be careful!!"

  Bang!

  "Hmmph..."

  Doubt!

  Wow!

  Boom!

  Nangong Suzi fell under everyone's gaze, spitting blood and heavily landing on the arena floor, motionless. Whether she was alive or dead, no one knew!!

  This situation was unpredictable from the start, even her opponent couldn't have imagined that she would do something like this!!

  Nangong Suzi's opponent was a member of a large family in the Great Tang Empire, a refined and elegant young master, but unexpectedly, when this young master was defeated by Nangong Suzi, he suddenly went mad, using a legendary demonic technique to instantly boost his power several levels, then launched a sneak attack on Nangong Suzi.

  Perhaps it was because this young master refused to admit defeat, or perhaps it was simply because he didn't want to lose to a woman. As a result, he used the Tianmo Transformation, striking Nan Gong Suxin flying while also collapsing himself, and having to face the side effects of the Tianmo Transformation.

  This demonic transformation, once used, those with inferior strength will quickly become exhausted, followed by a decline in strength, unable to gather energy again in a short period of time, which means that during this period of time they are just an ordinary person!

  At the same time, there is another side effect, that is, the meridians will be damaged. Even if you can cultivate internal energy later, there will be certain restrictions. Therefore, this magic skill is not used unless absolutely necessary, and in such a situation, it has no meaning at all.

  He's doing this, harming others but bringing no benefit to himself!!

  Having such a magical power is nothing, as some people will have a little of it. To prevent accidents from happening, use it when perishing together with others, but using it here would make the entire Tang Empire, and even the entire continent, condemn you!!

  Especially the Nan Gong family of the Great Tang Empire, Nan Gong Su Xin's identity is not simple. Even if it's a branch family, with such achievements now, it's enough to get the attention of the Nan Gong family of the Great Tang Empire!

  There were people from the Nangong family present, and their faces immediately changed. Several of them rushed over, but earlier than them was Gu Xing. However, when Gu Xing arrived, someone from the Nangong family was already by Nangong Suxin's side.

  Although Lone Star is almost invincible at her age, compared to her seniors, she can only be considered a junior, and so is her strength.

  He checked Nan Gong Suxin's condition and immediately transferred his true energy over, because Nan Gong Suxin's condition was very bad, with only one breath left, and at any moment he might not even have that last bit of breath.

  Nangong Suzi felt a slight sensation in her body after receiving this true energy, and she tried to make an effort to do something.

  "Don't move, your heart meridian is severed! Hold on for a breath, I'll think of a way to save you!"

  "Med...icine..." Nangong Suzi continued to make a gesture, and with great effort, she managed to utter a single word. At this moment, saying that word made her feel extremely strenuous.

  "I have a pill here!" The man furrowed his brow, as if making a decision. The pill on him was for emergency use and very precious. Moreover, he thought that with Nan Gong's severe injury, there was no hope left, and the pill could only be used to sustain her at most.

  "No need! She has medicine herself!" Lonely Star said lightly, reaching into Nangong Suzhen's bosom to search for it, as she had seen Nangong Suzhen put the medicine close to her body that morning.

  "What medicine? No matter what this medicine is, eat mine first!" The man's words clearly implied that he thought his own medicine was much better than the one on Nangong Suzi's body.

  "Jiuzhuan Dahuan Dan, Nan Gong Lie, you really are willing to part with it! But now, saving lives is the priority!" At this time, several others had arrived and were shocked by the medicine in that person's hand.

  "Suxin, what's wrong with you? Why aren't you eating?"

  That precious Nine-Turn Great Returning Dan, that can prolong life, Nan Gong Suxin actually refused to eat it, at this time, why didn't she eat it?

  At this time, no one can figure out why someone would give up their life, what is the reason for this?

  Very soon, when Gu Xing found the bottle of medicine, poured it out and put it into Nangong Suzhen's mouth, they finally understood that what she wanted to eat was this medicine. What is this medicine?

  Is it because she knew she had good medicine that she didn't take this Nine-Turn Great Restoring Pill, but what kind of medicine is better than the Nine-Turn Great Restoring Pill?

  "What is this medicine?"

  "I don't know!" Lone Star replied.

  "What?! Don't know? You also dare to give it to her to eat?" Almost everyone was shocked, this is too chaotic.

  "This is for Big Sister, there shouldn't be any problem!" At this time, Eldest Miss had already brought Third Miss over, and Third Miss seemed to still be very calm, not getting excited because of Nangong Su's situation.

  It's just that this is only on the surface. She can still hold her excitement, but in her heart, she is very nervous and knows she must remain calm.

  "Who is Xiao Yao?" Several people in the Nan Gong family were somewhat puzzled.

  "Cough, cough..." After taking a few pills, Nangong Suzhen's complexion improved significantly. She coughed up some blood, which stained her clothes. At this moment, no one paid attention to the blood.

  "Nangong Suxin, you're not dead yet! As expected, Xianyou was right, you'll have a bloody disaster today! However, why didn't you take the Nine-Turn Great Restoration Pill? Why did you eat Xianyou's medicine instead? You didn't even ask what it was. Aren't you afraid of dying?" The young mistress said heartlessly at this time, completely disregarding Nangong Suxin's dire situation.

  "What?! Even Su Xin doesn't know what's inside!" The people of the Nangong family were even more shocked, especially Nangong Lie, who had seen Nangong Su Xin refuse his own Nine-Turn Great Restoration Pill and instead eat the medicine in her bosom that even she herself didn't know about.

  Does this medicine really work or is it even healing wounds at all? Isn't that making a joke out of one's own life?

  Is this still the calm and collected Sangong Susu that I know? She's always been so level-headed, but now she's making such an irrational decision!!

  Unwise, indeed very unwise. Nangong Suzi also felt that she was very unwise at this time, but she knew that only when she reached the critical moment of life and death would she understand some things.

  She is not irrational, but has a kind of trust in Xiangyao, a trust that can transcend her own rationality. She would rather not take the Nine-Turn Great Pill, but instead take the medicine given to her by Xiangyao, even though she still doesn't know what this medicine is, but she can be sure that her trust is not wrong.

  The medicine has taken effect, and she can now speak at least a little, whereas before she couldn't say a complete sentence. What she wants to say most is three words:

  "Mind your own business..."
