Half an hour later!
After examining Gu Yue's injuries, Yao Bao'er frowned, holding a lollipop in her mouth, and shook her head.
"Her condition is due to excessive blood loss causing a shock..."
"Take out the lollipop first, or I'll confiscate all the snacks in your bag!" Ye Cangtian said with a stern face.
Yao Bao'er rolled her eyes, then took out the lollipop and quickly said, "She has suffered temporary shock due to severe blood loss. If it were any later, even the Great Immortal would not be able to save her!"
"So serious?"
Ye Cangtian frowned slightly and looked at Yao Bao'er, "Is there a way to save her?"
"Of course, there's no injury in this world that I, Yao Bao'er, cannot handle. Boss, help her take off her clothes first..."
"Uh..." Ye Cangtian hesitated.
Yao Bao'er rolled her eyes, "Boss, a doctor's heart is like a parent's. It's just taking off clothes. As long as you don't have any inappropriate thoughts, it'll be fine!"
"Alright... alright!"
Ye Cangtian couldn't help but smile bitterly. A doctor's heart is like a parent's, but I'm not a doctor!
Of course, it doesn't matter. I've seen Gu Yue's body before. What am I, a grown man, afraid of?
Soon, at Yao Bao'er's command, Ye Cangtian removed some of Gu Yue's clothes, though he only tore open the areas with wounds.
At this time, Yao Bao'er also took out silver needles from her backpack. After disinfecting them, she began to insert them into certain acupoints.
She looked extremely serious at this moment, and her technique with the silver needles was very skillful.
Ye Cangtian walked to the door, lit a cigarette, and waited patiently. He had great confidence in Yao Bao'er. If even Yao Bao'er couldn't save her, then perhaps no one in this world could.
After a full two hours!
Yao Bao'er finally removed the last silver needle and then hurriedly opened a bag of snacks, muttering, "I'm so tired! It's been a long time since I've done such a big job!"
"How is she?"
"Don't worry, she's out of danger. As long as she recuperates and takes some nourishing medicine, she'll be fine soon!" Yao Bao'er said, waving her hand while eating snacks.
Ye Cangtian nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought for a moment, then reached out, "Take it out!"
"What?"
"The nourishing medicine, the root of immortality, you still have it, right?"
"No, no..." Yao Bao'er shook her head frantically, her eyes darting away slightly.
Ye Cangtian saw through the girl's lie at a glance and said sternly, "Hurry up and take it out!"
"Boss!"
Yao Bao'er was a bit reluctant, but seeing Ye Cangtian's cold face, she could only pout and take out a section of the root of immortality from her bag.
Just as she was about to break off a piece the size of a fingernail, Ye Cangtian snatched it away as soon as she took it out.
"Actually, a little bit is enough. Eating too much is a waste!" Yao Bao'er said eagerly.
This was something she had kept for a long time and was reluctant to eat.
She had intended to use the root of immortality to satisfy her hunger if she got hungry after finishing her snacks. Now, her boss had taken it all.
Ye Cangtian waved his hand impatiently, "Alright, I'll pay you double when we leave this ruin!"
"Triple!"
"Okay!" Ye Cangtian was speechless.
"It's a deal!"
Yao Bao'er was overjoyed, opened a lollipop, and ate it with relish, looking at Gu Yue and saying, "By the way, boss, is this your sweetheart?"
Ye Cangtian, while crushing the root of immortality and putting it into Gu Yue's mouth, casually explained, "No, just an ordinary friend!"
Yao Bao'er giggled, "You're so good to an ordinary friend? Be careful, Sister Qiangwei will get angry if she finds out!"
"..."
Whether she gets angry or not, I don't know, but with that girl's temper, she probably would get angry.
Thinking back to when Princess Shirey of Saudi Arabia arrived in China, Qiangwei was able to assassinate her alone, which showed that the girl held grudges.
Thinking of this, Ye Cangtian looked up and asked, "They came in together too, right? Why haven't I seen anyone except you?"
"Baby doesn't know either!"
Yao Bao'er pouted, "As soon as I came in, I was captured. Those people were so fierce, they all wanted to do something improper to me."
And then? Those who wanted to do something improper to you all died?
Ye Cangtian was too lazy to talk to the girl. He didn't need to worry about the others from the Death Mercenary Squad. Apart from Scorpion and Viper, everyone else had the ability to protect themselves.
As for Scorpion and Viper, although they were not strong, they were old hands and would definitely find a way to escape if they encountered danger.
...
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Yue woke up!
The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to instinctively reach for something, but she didn't find her short sword.
"Rest well, you're out of danger now!"
Not far away, Ye Cangtian was leaning on a stone chair, smoking a cigarette, and looking at her with a smile.
Gu Yue then breathed a sigh of relief. Her injuries were severe, and every movement felt like a tearing pain. She gasped, then looked down at her body, her heart filled with anxiety again.
She gritted her teeth and asked, "What... what did you do to me? Why am I..."
"Why is your clothes all changed?"
Ye Cangtian shrugged, then smiled brilliantly, "Your clothes were already in tatters, so I found a set of clothes for you to change into."
"So you..." Gu Yue bit her lip, her eyes fixed on Ye Cangtian as if she wanted to kill him.
Seeing her expression, Ye Cangtian suddenly realized and smiled bitterly, "Don't misunderstand. It was a friend of mine who changed your clothes for you. You were too seriously injured, and she was the one who treated you!"
"A woman?"
"Yes! If it were a man, I wouldn't have agreed, I would have done it myself! Cough cough..." Ye Cangtian coughed dryly as he saw her murderous gaze.
Gu Yue looked at the clothes on her body. Although they might not fit perfectly, they were indeed a girl's clothes, proving that the other party was not lying.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and then her pretty face blushed. She quickly lowered her head and changed the subject, asking, "Why... why are you in this place?"
"Shouldn't I be asking that?" Ye Cangtian said speechlessly.
Whether as the leader of the Death Squad or as a member of the Huaxia Dragon Group, his presence here was not surprising.
He said surprisingly, "It's you, didn't you leave the Heavenly Net long ago? Why did you come in with them?"
"I... I came for revenge!"
Gu Yue gritted her teeth and said, but her eyes were somewhat dim. She entered the ruins only for revenge, only to assassinate the young master of the Heavenly Net.
But she failed!
Ye Cangtian understood, but he couldn't help but smile wryly, "You really hold a grudge. Just because the Heavenly Net once sent people to hunt you, and that young master took a fancy to you, you must seek revenge?"
Gu Yue did not answer, but after a long silence, she looked up and said, "I want to kill him, not just for personal revenge! I just don't want the Heavenly Net to exist anymore."
Did the Heavenly Net have a grudge against her?
Yes, but not enough for her to be so persistent.
The reason she wanted to assassinate that young master was because she wanted to destroy the entire Heavenly Net. She had seen too many bases where the Heavenly Net trained killers.
There were many Heavenly Net bases. Some, in order to train elite killers, forced them to kill each other, leaving only one elite.
There were also bases filled with trafficked children who experienced all sorts of life and death from a young age, only to be trained into killing machines that only knew how to kill.
And there were various other reasons that made people disgusted and revolted.
This made Gu Yue determined to destroy this largest killer organization in the world.
