Volume 4: Nan Yue's Turbulent Times - Siblings' Bond

  Fang Yue's appearance was clearly not part of Fang Yun's plan, but it made his plan even more perfect.

  At the moment when Lao Zhai made his move, Fang Yun had already planned a counterattack in her mind, pretending to be dead and launching a sneak attack on Lao Zhai.

  But with his current strength as an old man and his own injuries, the success rate is less than 30%, and if he fails, he will face an even worse situation.

  But Fang Yue's appearance made his plan easier to carry out, and if the old man had any lingering vigilance towards Fang Yun's fake death, then Fang Yue would be able to completely absorb it.

  Moreover, Fang Yue took the initiative to attack, forcing the old man to resist and counterattack. This rare opportunity would not come again a second time.

  At the moment Fang Yun stood up, both the old man and Fang Yue were startled.

  Especially the old man, because Fang Yun was standing right next to him, at such a close distance, and he couldn't even draw his hand to defend himself.

  Fang Yun's mouth corners revealed a brilliant smile, although his face was still mixed with blood and mud, but in the eyes of the old man, it was like a devilish smile.

  The old man's forehead was suddenly covered in cold sweat, and Fang Yun's golden needle had already fallen mercilessly on the old man's Tian Cheng blood and Taiyang acupoint. Although the old man's internal energy was strong and ordinary swords and knives could not harm him, it did not mean that he was invulnerable to all attacks.

  Fang Yun's Golden Needle is specifically designed to break the external family's horizontal Gongfa, even if the old man knows Jin Zhongzhao or Tiebushan, he will still be broken by Fang Yun.

  The moment the golden needle was inserted into Tian Cheng's blood and Taiyang acupoint, the old man let out a miserable cry. The Dou Qi inside his body gushed out like a burst dam, while the Taiyang acupoint made his body lose its ability to move, preventing him from suddenly getting up and hurting people, and in the last moment, counter-attacking Fang Yun.

  If it weren't for Fang Yue's help, Fang Yun would have been able to seal off the old man's one acupoint and would have already made his escape, but with Fang Yue's restraint, he had enough time to seal off the old man's two major acupoints.

  The old man's uncontrolled aura burst out wildly, causing him to panic. No matter how hard they tried to stop it, his body seemed to have lost control, his limbs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably like a seizure, with all his limbs and facial features twisted in spasms.

  "Y...y..." The old man struggled to make a sound, but he couldn't even get out a complete sentence at the moment, his tongue felt like it was tied in knots.

  Fang Yue's expression was complex, and she gazed at Fang Yun for a moment before walking forward step by step. However, Fang Yun's face had turned pale, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His body swayed unsteadily, and he stumbled forward, falling towards the ground.

  Fang Yue's heart skipped a beat as she hastily rushed forward to hold Fang Yun, who had already fainted and fallen into her arms.

  "You... what's wrong with you?" Fang Yue was getting anxious.

  Seeing Fang Yun's chest, densely packed with ice cones, covered in blood, it was hard to imagine how he had endured, yet still had the strength to sneak up on this old man. If I hadn't appeared, would he have also snuck up on me?

  Fang Yue looked at the old man on the ground, then glanced at Fang Yun in her arms. If it were in the past, any person of the opposite sex who dared to touch her casually, even if it was just an accidental brush of hands, she would have struck without mercy.

  But holding Fang Yun in her arms, she felt a soft feeling rising from the bottom of her heart, as if it was a natural intimacy that made her unable to let go, quietly gazing at this handsome little face, making Fang Yue even more affectionate.

  "Could it be... could it really be Old Five?" Fang Yue had never returned to the Fang household, although he knew he had a younger brother, he had yet to meet him.

  It's just that she can't be sure if it's really her brother, and if so, why he doesn't recognize himself to her, and she also hasn't received any news from home.

  Even if Lao Wu were to come, it's impossible that not a single family member would accompany him. Fang Yue looked at the young man in her arms: "Could it really be just because of the same name that this misunderstanding occurred?"

  Fang Yue was not clear about the grudges between Fang Yun and the old man, nor why they had to fight each other to the death. Now Fang Yun was unconscious, and the old man on the ground was also convulsing with unclear consciousness.

  Fang Yue could only first take Fang Yun away from the forest, as for the old man on the ground, Fang Yue didn't have any extra thoughts, naturally letting him fend for himself.

  Due to Fang Yun's severe injuries, the wound on his chest never stopped bleeding, which made Fang Yue very worried. Moreover, based on her observation, apart from the ice pick in his chest, Fang Yun had also suffered internal injuries that were not light.

  She didn't dare to linger for a moment, fortunately there was her mount outside the forest, a silver snow wolf.

  The Silver Wolf itself is a third-tier magical beast, its body shape is larger than that of an ordinary war horse, but compared to ordinary wild beasts, it is much more docile. There are some for sale on the trading market, and of course, you can also tame one through certain magical instruments.

  Fang Yue lifted Fang Yun onto the back of the Silver Snow Wolf and rode it wildly back to Nan Yue City.

  "Isn't that the proud sun of our Nanyue City?"

  "Huh, who is the young man riding with her?"

  "Heavens! In our Nanyue City, Rong Yang Hua is actually holding a young man..."

  "It seems like I'm hurt..."

  As a public figure in Nanyue City, Fang Yue's every move was closely watched, but Fang Yue remained indifferent to any advice, treating it as if it didn't exist.

  Fang Yue brought Fang Yun back to Canaan Academy, where there was a special medical pavilion inside Canaan Academy. There were also students and instructors from the Medical Department and the Sacrifice Department who were responsible for treating injured students.

  Of course, this treatment is not free. Both students and mentors need to deduct a certain amount of Canaan points in order to receive the treatment.

  "Come out quickly, servant." Fang Yue called out softly.

  A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl walked out of the medical building, this girl was none other than Gao Nu, a genius from Canaan Academy. Her talent in medicine almost rivaled Fang Yue's magical abilities, and at just seventeen years old, she was already an instructor-level figure.

  It was also Fangyue who was one of the few friends he could talk to at Canaan Academy.

  "Fourth Sister, what's this?" Upper Official Boy saw that Fang Yue was covered in blood and hastily came forward to examine her body.

  "It's not my blood, it's his... Hurry up and help him in." Fang Yue said anxiously.

  "Who? Is he your disciple?" Upper Official Yu looked at Fang Yun on the wolf's back with a puzzled expression, not as urgent as Fang Yue.

  From her understanding of Fang Yue, she was rarely so tense to others, even half a year ago, when her most proud student Murong Ru was seriously injured on the dueling stage, Fang Yue just calmly let other students take her to the infirmary.

  "It's not... just don't care about that anymore, hurry up, or he'll die." Fang Yue said anxiously.

  "Was it you who injured him?" Upper Official Yu continued to interrogate, but looking at Fang Yun's chest injury and the remaining fluctuations of Dou Qi, it was clear that it wasn't done by Fang Yue.

  "Are you going to save him or not?" Fang Yue was anxious and didn't care whether the official agreed or not, she pulled down Fang Yun and carried him into the medical hall.

  Shangguan Rouxian smiled lightly as she looked at Fang Yue, and seeing how tense he was, she found it amusing.

  In the past, any boy or instructor who pursued Fang Yue would be beaten half to death if they dared to offend her slightly. Now, however, she has abandoned her dignity for a young man.

  Fang Yue brought Fang Yun's bed to the bedside, and Shangguan Rou walked to the front of the bed, pulled Fang Yun's face and took a look, then nodded: "Hmm..."

  "Is his injury very serious?" Fang Yue asked anxiously.

  "The long one is quite handsome." Upper Official Yu said with a smile.

  "You stupid girl, I told you to treat him, not read his fortune." Fang Yue glared at Guan Yong.

  Shangguan Rou lightly chuckled and grasped Fang Yun's wrist, injecting a stream of Dou Qi into him. The Dou Qi flowed through Fang Yun's body, circulating through his meridians, causing his brow to furrow slightly as he examined Fang Yue: "This is a very severe internal injury, it should be the result of a full-force strike from a sixth-rank martial artist... but it's strange, with such a severe injury, logically speaking, he should have died on the spot..."

  "Sixth rank? No, it's a seventh-rank expert who made this move." Fang Yue said in confusion.

  She didn't doubt Shangguan Yuer's medical skills, but she was very certain about the strength of her opponent just now.

  "No, he's a sixth-tier warrior." Officer Yu shook his head and said: "Although I didn't see how he was injured with my own eyes, my Dou Xin can analyze the remaining Dou Qi to determine its level. However, these external injuries on his chest should be caused by a seventh-tier expert."

  "Could it be that before then... he was already injured?" Fang Yue muttered to herself.

  "This kid is really something, actually provoking 6th and 7th rank experts to kill him, it's lucky he has a big life...and still didn't die." Shangguan Xing turned his head towards Fang Yue: "Yue sister, tell the truth, what kind of person is this kid, that you're so tense about him?"

  "This... I'm not clear either... at least for now, I still can't be sure..." Fang Yue looked at Fang Yun on the bed: "You should help him recover first, with his current injuries, he's in danger at any moment."

  "Although his injuries are severe, the most critical period has passed. Even if I don't treat him, he can still pull through on his own."

  "How can such a serious injury possibly heal on its own?"

  "With his physical strength, a sixth-rank warrior's full-strength attack couldn't kill him, instead he continuously self-healed, obviously protected by some special internal energy technique. And just now when I inserted my internal energy into his body, there was a very strange power inside him that actively repelled my internal energy, obviously due to his own internal energy's self-protection mechanism. So I can only treat his external injuries, as for the internal ones... "

  "Master, are you inside?" At this time, Mu Rongyu's voice came from outside the door, and Fang Yue was slightly stunned.

  Murong Ru walked in on his own initiative: "Mentor, I just heard someone say that you brought back an injured student, is that true?"

  Murong Ru was also curious, what kind of person would make Fang Yue willing to humble himself and personally send him to the medical institute. To know that even she herself didn't have such treatment, it's impossible not to be jealous.

  Fang Yue did not answer Murong Ru's question, but instead held Fang Yun's hand tightly and looked at him with concern.

  Murong walked forward and looked at the young man on the hospital bed, who had blood all over his face. He looked familiar to her, as if she had seen him somewhere before, but for a moment, she couldn't quite recall where.
