Those inside Wang Yunxi's room were stunned into silence. Their attention soon shifted toward Gu Qinghe.
Before this, they had known him as a useless young master—someone unreliable and unworthy of his clan's name.
But now, everything had changed. If what Wang Yunxi said was true, then Gu Qinghe had undergone a transformation none of them had ever expected.
Amid their conversation, Gu Qinghe suddenly felt a tight pain in his chest. His head spun, and his body grew weak.
He dropped to his knees and coughed up blood into his hand.
"Qing'er?" Yunxi called out in panic.
This must be the aftereffect of the battle with Lin Ruyue. I used too much qi to destroy the formation cores.
Wang Yunxi quickly formed hand seals and directed her qi forward. The energy slowly flowed into Gu Qinghe's body.
Through her perception, she could see that Gu Qinghe's qi had been heavily depleted, and his body was injured.
"You… you're hurt?"
