As soon as Jian Xin left, Li Tian started coughing and vomited blood from his mouth.
"Brother, brother, it's okay. I'll take you to the infirmary now."
Yun Zhi could no longer care about anything else and anxiously picked up Li Tian and took him to the infirmary of Xiangzhan Pavilion.
And Li Tian in his arms gradually lost consciousness.
"Beep...beep..." The instruments in the medical room kept making beeping sounds.
At this time, Li Tian on the hospital bed had his whole body covered except for his face, like a paralyzed patient.
"How is my elder brother?"
Yun Zhi, who was beside the hospital bed, asked anxiously.
"He just lost too much blood and was temporarily comatose."
"Although the wound on his chest is serious, it is not fatal."
"It's just that, apart from that big wound, there are more than 170 small wounds on his body. I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of bed in a short time. Let's take care of him slowly."
The doctor at Xiangzhan Pavilion put away the needle and thread used to suture Li Tian's wound, crossed Yun Zhi, and left the infirmary.
Yun Zhi was relieved when he heard that nothing was wrong. He sat on the side of the hospital bed and looked at Li Tian in front of him sadly.
"Brother, why are you so strong..."
"Didn't I promise that I would protect you..."
Gradually, a trace of anger appeared in Yun Zhi's eyes, and the scene of Jian Xin's sword slashing Li Tian appeared in his mind.
"I will make him pay back double the amount, I promise!"
Ergou lay bored in a corner, not feeling sad at all because of Li Tian's injury, but because of Yun Zhi's words, his ears pricked up.
"It's not because of you that he works so hard."
It pressed its nose and said.
After hearing Ergou's words, Yun Zhi's eyes flashed with confusion.
"Because of me? Why?"
"Oh, it's not because you practiced too fast that he felt uncomfortable."
Ergou replied.
Yun Zhi immediately rolled his eyes at it.
"Third brother, don't talk nonsense. Big brother is not the kind of person who would be jealous."
"Besides, isn't it a good thing that I'm practicing faster? If you encounter trouble, I can help you out."
Of course he didn't believe Ergou's words. He also understood Li Tian's temperament. He was not a petty person.
"Call me stupid and you won't listen. He wants to protect you, but he doesn't need your protection."
"Think about how many people died in Ping'an Town, including his brother. Although he never mentioned it, he was still deeply hit."
Ergou continued.
"Do you think he is not as crooked as before in the past two months? He has been thinking about practicing and practicing all day long."
Yun Zhi's heart skipped a beat. He felt that Ergou's words made sense.
"How do you know this? Brother, has he told you?"
Ergou didn't answer immediately, but thought about it for a while.
"My guess..."
Yun Zhi "......"
"Then what you said is true. Besides, the three of us brothers are inseparable. Can't I just be stronger? Apart from practicing, I can help him with everything else."
"Oh~ forget it, let me tell you the truth."
Ergou scratched his head and continued.
"Actually, I heard him talking in his sleep at night."
"In the month after he came back from Ping'an Town, he basically had nightmares and talked in his sleep every day. If you hadn't been asleep at that time, you wouldn't have been there, so it was normal not to know."
"I mentioned this to him, but he specifically didn't let me tell you."
It was okay if Ergou didn't tell him, but Yunzhi didn't believe it even more when he told him.
"Stop talking nonsense. How could he have a dream with Lihuamu? You can tell a decent lie. I'll deduct a lobster from you tonight!"
Ergou was the one with a shocked look on his face.
"Don't you know he lost the pear flower tree?"
"It was lost in Ping'an Town."
Yun Zhi immediately widened his eyes in disbelief.
"What? He lost his pear tree?"
"Then why didn't he tell me?"
Ergou rolled his eyes at him and lay down on the ground again.
"Why else? He's afraid that if he tells you, you will give him your share."
Yunzhi's lips trembled slightly and his eyes became moist.
He couldn't imagine how Li Tian survived these two months.
I practiced hard during the day, but couldn't even get a good night's sleep at night. This was not just two days a day, but two whole months!
When Li Tian woke up again, it was already late at night.
The lights in the ward were always on, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a bright ceiling.
He struggled to move his body, but the severe pain in his chest made him lie back again.
It was a long time since he slept, and it was the most peaceful sleep he had had in the past two months.
It was also the only night that I didn't dream about those dead people again.
He slowly turned his head and saw Yun Zhi sitting on the chair and falling asleep.
He did not wake up Yun Zhi, but turned his head and stared blankly at the ceiling above his head.
Yun Zhi was not asleep. He had been accompanying Li Tian, waiting for the moment he woke up.
Perhaps because Li Tian made some noise just now, Yun Zhi also slowly opened his eyes.
When he saw that Li Tian had opened his eyes, he was immediately surprised.
"Brother, are you awake? How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
He stood up and came to Li Tian's side, observing the other person's condition carefully.
Li Tian smiled slightly and shook his head.
"I'm fine, I made you worry."
"What are you talking about? Are you thirsty? Are you hungry? Is there anything you want to eat? I'll buy it for you."
"I'm not hungry, please give me a glass of water."
After bleeding so much today, Li Tian's lips were already chapped. Just now he saw Yun Zhi sleeping and didn't have the heart to wake him up.
Upon seeing this, Yun Zhi immediately turned around and poured a glass of warm water, slowly feeding it into Li Tian's mouth.
"The doctor at Xiangzhan Pavilion said that you need to take a good rest. During this period, you can just stay here. It will be convenient for me to come over to accompany you after the game every day."
"No, you can go about your business. During this period of time, you should prepare well and rest well while playing the game. Don't let me influence you. I will ask others to buy me whatever I need. You don't have to worry."
Li Tian rejected Yun Zhi. He didn't want to affect Yun Zhi's competition because of his illness. After yesterday afternoon's competition, he knew that there were more people in the academy than they thought before.
It's so simple.
It is precisely because of this that he cannot affect Yun Zhi's rest and practice because of himself.
What if Yun Zhi didn't get a good rest and was cut down by someone else during the game?
Yun Zhi immediately straightened his face and looked at Li Tian with an unhappy expression.
"Brother, what are you talking about? No matter how important the game is, it is not important to you. I don't trust others to take care of you. You didn't listen to me yesterday afternoon, and you still don't listen to me now?"
"I'm going to rebel against you!"
Li Tian was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"What? Do you want to be the big brother?"
"I tell you, until I die, you will always be the prince!"
Yun Zhi also smiled.
"You're like this and you still have such a poor mouth."
"In this way, I promise you that it will not affect the game, okay?"
"I still want to avenge you, how could I be careless?"
When he talked about revenge, the smile on Li Tian's face gradually faded.
"I'm not as skilled as others, so I have nothing to take revenge on."
"You don't have to work too hard. If you get injured again, I won't be able to take care of you like this. Will we only have one dog to rely on?"
Speaking of this, Ergou, who was sleeping in the dormitory, sneezed for no reason.
"Which bastard is talking bad about me?"
Yun Zhi's expression also became serious, and there was a trace of venom in his eyes.
"I don't care whether he hurt you intentionally or not, if he hurts you, I will make him pay back double the amount!"
"Don't worry about this matter. I know it well, so you can rest assured and cultivate yourself."
After that, he changed his smile again and took out a piece of red wood from his pocket. There were signs of being chopped on one side of the wood.
He placed the pear flower tree next to Li Tian's pillow.
"I've been living here all the time during this period. I'm afraid I'll lose Lihuamu during the game, so I'll give it to you to keep for now."
The delicate fragrance of pear wood soon reached Li Tian's nose. At this moment, even the pain on his body was relieved a lot.
Of course he would not be stupid enough to believe Yun Zhi's excuse. His second brother had never lied, and his acting skills were terrible, not as good as Ergou.
But instead of exposing it, he happily accepted Yun Zhi's white lie.
"That sword heart... is a bit strong, and his sword is a bit strange. It feels like I saw Hou Qingbai's sword."
"Are you sure you can beat him?"
He still couldn't help but worry about Yun Zhi. Although he had always believed in Yun Zhi, after yesterday's battle, he was shaken.
Kenshin dealt with him without even letting the sword out of its sheath!
Yun Zhi smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and patted the back of Li Tian's hand twice.
"I know he is very strong, but if he only performs like yesterday, then I only need three moves to beat him."
"Brother, you still underestimate me. Your brother and I are...invincible in the same situation!"
Speaking of this, Yun Zhi's eyes were filled with incomparable confidence. He had never doubted his own strength, no matter who his opponent was!
Li Tian couldn't help but chuckle.
"Okay, okay, stop pretending and you'll die!"
"You also said that I have a tough mouth. No matter how tough my mouth is, it's not even half as tough as yours!"
Yun Zhi immediately rolled his eyes at him.
"Look, you don't believe me seriously."
Li Tian smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"It's not that I don't believe it, okay? It's just that it's really hard for people to believe it."
He had personally experienced Kenshin's terrifying strength, but Yun Zhi said that he only needed three moves to defeat him. No matter how much he trusted Yun Zhi, he couldn't believe such outrageous words.
Yun Zhi was worrying about how to make Li Tian believe him, then he seemed to have thought of something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Li Tian with a smile.
"Brother, do you want to hear a story?"
Li Tian didn't understand why he had to tell stories while chatting?
"Okay, you go ahead and tell me, I just have nothing to do now."
He felt that Yun Zhi didn't really want to tell a story, so let's see what medicine he was selling in his gourd.
"Ahem, let me start talking."
Yun Zhi cleared his throat and continued.
"On this continent, there is such a mysterious force. It belongs to neither Lingyun City nor Tiandou City. It lives in seclusion and no one knows where it is."
"It is rumored that this force is somewhere deep in Mao'er Mountain, but it has never been confirmed. It is just a rumor."
"The people in this force all have one characteristic, and that is the use of swords. They are called the purest sword cultivators in the world."
"No one knows how they are passed down. They only know that when their descendants appear in the world, it will shock the entire continent."
"Their descendants are all unparalleled geniuses, surpassing the entire era. One person and one sword make all geniuses of their generation unable to hold their heads high."
"This mysterious force is called Sword Ruins."
"The Sword Ruins come from the same line. There is only one person in each era, and each descendant has a symbolic thing, which is a black ancient sword. The name of the ancient sword is Zhiyuan!"
"The story ends here."
Li Tian was more and more shocked as he listened. It wasn't until he mentioned the black ancient sword that he knew what Yun Zhi was talking about.
"Jianxin, is he the descendant of Jianxu from this era?"
Yun Zhi was very satisfied with Li Tian's surprised look. He liked to see Li Tian's face as he had never seen the world before.
He smiled and nodded to Li Tian.
"Yes, he is the descendant of Jianxu."
The rumors about Jianxu were so big, and Zhiyuan was so easy to recognize, that Yun Zhi recognized Jianxin's identity as early as the moment he saw the sword.
"I'm so fucked..."
Li Tian still found it incredible and even suspected that Yun Zhi had made up the story himself.
"He has such a big background? That's a big deal. You just said that the Jianxu disciples are more powerful than the geniuses of the same generation. You'd better surrender as soon as possible."
In response to Li Tian's words, Yun Zhi just smiled slightly, confidence returning to his face again.
"Brother, I am telling you this story not to boost others' ambitions, but to say that even if he is the heir of Jianxu, I will still trample him under my feet."
"To suppress the times and suppress the genius, that was once upon a time. As long as I am here, he will never be able to do it, because I will not be defeated!"
Li Tian "..."
He just thought that Yun Zhi was suffering from the second grade disease and was talking nonsense!
