176: A reward of 100 purple gold stones
These three Life Tablets naturally belonged to Bi Xinghe, Feng Qiu, and Ying Shan.
Originally, among the Nine Great Powers, only high-level figures like the Northern Court Elder and Inner Sect Elder would possess corresponding Life Tablets.
However, because the three were secret agents specially arranged by the Blazing Heaven Hall, they also possessed corresponding Life Tablets.
Due to their concealed identities, there were no names on their Life Tablets.
"Reporting to Sect Leader, three Life Tablets in the Life Tablet Hall have suddenly shattered!" The person responsible for guarding the Life Tablet Hall presented the three shattered Life Tablets to Fen Cang.
Although the three Life Tablets had no names, Fen Cang immediately recognized them as belonging to the three.
Fen Cang's original intention was for the three to kill Chu Chen and then escape from the Azure River Dao Academy. It seemed that after they acted, they did not manage to escape.
"Since the three of them have already made their move, that bastard Chu Chen must have been torn to shreds!" Although the three were dead, Fen Cang was very happy. He absolutely did not believe that Chu Chen had any chance of surviving against the three of them.
"Go and check if that bastard Chu Chen is dead or not! Inform this Hall Leader of the result as quickly as possible!" Fen Cang laughed loudly. He needed to hear of Chu Chen's death to be completely at ease.
After the three died, he had no more secret agents in the Azure River Dao Academy. However, outside the Azure River Dao Academy, there were some scouts from the Blazing Heaven Hall. It would be quick to gather information.
...
Earlier, in the Azure River Great Hall, Li Yuechan was in a coma. Under the effect of the Heart Protection Immortal Pearl, she gradually woke up, and at her request, Mu Feiyan sent her back to the pavilion where she resided.
In the pavilion, Hong Ying, Yun Zhiyue, and even students like Ye Kai, Gu Han, Hong Zihao, and Yun Shanshan came to visit Li Yuechan.
Hong Ying looked at Li Yuechan's injured appearance, her heart twisting as if by a knife, unable to speak, only wiping away tears.
Yun Zhiyue glanced at Li Yuechan, then at Chu Chen. She knew that this matter was most likely done by the Blazing Heaven Hall, and Chu Chen must also be feeling terrible.
Chu Chen sat by the window, looking at the empty night sky outside the window, the atmosphere heavy.
At this moment, Chu Chen had re-enabled Blood Shadow's vision. Blood Shadow looked at Li Yuechan lying on the bed and was greatly surprised, "Holy cow, what happened! It's only been a little over an hour, how did Li Yuechan get so badly injured? Kid, you really went too far! Those who know would say you were sparring, but those who don't would think you were fighting Li Yuechan to the death!"
Chu Chen replied, "It wasn't me."
"It wasn't you? Then what happened?"
Chu Chen recounted what had happened earlier.
Blood Shadow was greatly shocked after hearing it, "Damn it! What a pity! Why did you block this venerable one before? If you hadn't blocked this venerable one, could those three scoundrels have ambushed you? This venerable one would have discovered them before they even made a move!"
Chu Chen knew full well that if Blood Shadow hadn't been blocked at that time, those three assassins would absolutely not have been able to ambush them.
He had always regretted it.
However, at that time, Blood Shadow himself said he was too noisy, and Chu Chen had no choice but to block him.
It could only be said that everything was a series of unfortunate coincidences, only causing Li Yuechan to suffer.
Blood Shadow sighed, "But honestly, Li Yuechan is truly a woman of character. Although she is usually gentle and quiet, she is absolutely not ambiguous at crucial moments and dares to die for you! Alas, I really envy you. This venerable one has been a master of romance, yet no woman has ever done such a thing for this venerable one. However, it might also be related to this venerable one's experiences. Before coming to your Southern Domain, this venerable one's life was smooth sailing, without encountering any dangers. And in your Southern Domain, when imprisoned by the Azure River Dao Academy, this venerable one did not bring any confidantes. If I had brought them, they would surely be willing to die for this venerable one!"
Chu Chen: "..."
He didn't bother to listen to Blood Shadow's self-praise at this moment.
As night deepened, the students who came to visit Li Yuechan gradually left.
Hong Ying walked to Chu Chen, sat down by the window with bent knees, her eyes red, and said, "Chu Chen, you go back and rest. I'll stay here and accompany Senior Sister Yuechan."
Chu Chen shook his head, "I'm not tired, I'll accompany her too."
Hong Ying didn't refuse. After a moment of silence, she suddenly said to Chu Chen, "Treat Senior Sister Yuechan well."
Chu Chen's heart trembled slightly.
...
Several days passed.
Under the nourishment of the "Heart Protection Immortal Pearl," Li Yuechan's vitality was completely protected, and with the conditioning of various Spirit Medicine, Li Yuechan's injuries were gradually recovering.
But her body was still very weak, and she needed assistance to get out of bed and walk around.
On this day, the sunset was beautiful, and Li Yuechan wanted to get out of bed to bask in the sun.
"Senior Sister Yuechan! Don't move!" Chu Chen walked into the room carrying a food box. Seeing Li Yuechan propping herself up on the bed, he immediately put down the food box and quickly went to Li Yuechan's side.
"Chu Chen." Looking at Chu Chen, Li Yuechan's face was slightly flushed. She knew that Chu Chen had been taking care of her these past few days. "What delicious food did Aunt Shen make for me today?"
"Seven Treasures Lotus Seed Soup. Senior Sister, do you want to drink it now?" Shen Yuqing already knew about Li Yuechan's severe injury and was heartbroken. She had been in charge of Li Yuechan's diet these past few days.
"Mm." Li Yuechan nodded slightly.
Chu Chen then helped Li Yuechan drink the soup. After Li Yuechan finished the soup, she praised, "Aunt Shen's cooking is really good, this soup is delicious."
Chu Chen smiled, "If you want to drink more, I'll ask Godmother to make it for you again. Godmother prepared dozens of ingredients and can make it for you in different ways every day. After drinking the soup made by Godmother, you will recover very quickly."
Li Yuechan nodded gently, "Okay."
"Does Senior Sister want to get out of bed?"
"I want to bask in the sun."
"Okay, I'll help Senior Sister."
Chu Chen helped Li Yuechan to the window.
Being supported by Chu Chen, Li Yuechan's pretty face was slightly red, but Chu Chen had helped her many times these past few days, and she had actually gotten used to it.
The soft sunset glow fell on Li Yuechan's face. On that delicate face, although there was still some paleness, there was a unique and moving beauty, capable of captivating the world.
Chu Chen looked at Li Yuechan's serene profile and softly said, "Senior Sister, that afternoon, you were truly foolish."
Li Yuechan looked at the sunset, letting the sunlight fall upon her, but she shook her head and smiled faintly, "No, I wasn't foolish. If it happened again, I would still do the same."
"Why?"
"Because you are fine."
