158: Visiting injured animals

Gu Xiaoyue arrived at the infirmary; all the Huaqing team members were there.

Vincent had a separate room and was not with them.

Su Anxi was curled up in Lv Hao's arms, seemingly sobbing softly.

Lv Hao and Ye Junhe had grave expressions; it seemed the burns on the three flying pets were very serious.

Compared to Pei Ran's man-eating flower, Lin Zhiyi's lightning-element pet was less severely injured.

This was only because of the combined effect of Lv Hao and Su Anxi's Lightning Shield and Ice Shield; otherwise, the pets would have had a slim chance of survival.

This was the power of a God-Rank Pet; it was no wonder Beastmasters would go crazy for them.

Lin Zhiyi looked up, saw Gu Xiaoyue coming to visit them, and walked right up to her.

"Xiao Yue, has Nanya's match ended?"

Gu Xiaoyue nodded. "Luoshui conceded, so I came to check on you."

Pei Ran snorted coldly. "Student Gu, surely you aren't here to laugh at us."

Gu Xiaoyue gave him a smile, but didn't let him off the hook verbally.

"You could say that. I just came to see, since Duan Yao already held back, how badly are your pets injured?"

She saw the shock and disbelief on Pei Ran's face, just as she had hoped.

Pei Ran turned to look at Lv Hao, Ye Junhe, and Lin Zhiyi, attempting to see indignation on their faces,

so that they could all together forcefully refute Gu Xiaoyue's statement.

To his surprise, their expressions were indifferent.

"Captain, tell me, is what Gu Xiaoyue said true?"

Pei Ran still couldn't believe it and couldn't help asking.

Lv Hao could naturally sense that when Duan Yao said she would use her full strength, she only meant revealing all four pets, not that she was truly going all out.

As for Ye Junhe and Lin Zhiyi, they believed in Gu Xiaoyue's strength and her judgment.

Lv Hao and the others didn't answer, and Pei Ran understood what they meant.

He slumped onto a stool.

Even if he had obtained a massive opportunity, was he still unable to reach the top in the National Competition?

"So, how are your pets actually doing?"

Actually, Gu Xiaoyue had a judgment in her heart; Lv Hao and the others' pets were not lightly injured.

Zhuque was God Rank; it had both tier suppression and level suppression.

However, her Water Therapy had miraculous effects on burns and frostbite, and she could help Lv Hao and the others.

However, she wasn't a saint. Even if she came to help treat Ye Junhe, and helped Lv Hao and Su Anxi along the way, they needed to be grateful for it.

"My and Pei Ran's pets are fine; we can compete tomorrow even with injuries. Besides, we're facing Yiheng tomorrow; we won't lose."

It's just—Lin Zhiyi looked at Lv Hao, Su Anxi, and Ye Junhe with worry and continued.

"The three flying pets are severely injured. If the burn effects don't diminish within five days, I'm afraid—"

She choked up, tears welling in her eyes.

Pets were a Beastmaster's partners, especially these high-tier pets they had cultivated with such care.

Su Anxi cried even louder.

She buried her head in Lv Hao's arms, holding him tightly.

The scenes of her and Jinhe together since it was little flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern.

Ye Junhe was also very sad; Feilian was his companion beast.

It wasn't just that the human and beast got along well and had an emotional bond.

And if Feilian were gone, his Mental Power and strength would be greatly diminished.

"Did your school doctor say that? Should we ask the school doctor from Chongbei?"

Huaqing's school doctor was good, but compared to Chongbei's military doctors, there was still a gap.

Lv Hao sighed. "We used connections to ask; the school doctor accompanying Chongbei's team gave the same assessment. A medium-sized beast tide broke out in Zheshu Province, and Chongbei's top medical staff went to support them and can't return for the time being."

Su Anxi wiped her tears with her hand and said with a crying voice, "I also sent a message home to find a good healer to come to Huaqing. I won't let Xiao He die!"

She said that, but she was panicking terribly.

Duan Yao's pet, though its tier and level were unknown, had such power.

She and Lv Hao both inferred that it was a God-Rank Pet!

If it really was God Rank, any healing below the Immortal Tier probably wouldn't be of any use.

And even if there were an Immortal Tier healing-type pet, Beastmasters rarely let it follow a healing path.

After all, the threshold for healing wasn't high, and the requirements for talent and pets were even lower.

This was the reason why Chen Yixuan, despite only having Yellow-Tier talent, could be on the Nanya team.

The atmosphere was very oppressive.

Gu Xiaoyue pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.

"My pet has Water Therapy; how about you let me try? At the same time, you should also look for high-level healers to have a backup plan."

Ye Junhe's eyes lit up; he was about to draw a summoning array immediately, wanting to summon Feilian.

His hand had just moved, but he was blocked by Pei Ran.

"Ye Junhe, don't be fooled by her! Think about it: her combat power is so high, so why would she care about a healing-type pet?"

Pei Ran stared at Gu Xiaoyue warily. "It's possible that once you summon Feilian, she'll take the opportunity to kill it. In the end, she could escape punishment under the guise that it couldn't be saved anyway!"

Gu Xiaoyue was almost amused to the point of laughing by Pei Ran's logic, which was full of holes.

Lin Zhiyi also looked at Pei Ran in confusion.

"Pei Ran, Xiao Yue is not that kind of person."

"Lin Zhiyi, are you a member of Huaqing or Nanya? The competition is so fierce; why would someone from Nanya sincerely help them heal their pets? I think she's trying to finish them off!"

Ye Junhe pushed away Pei Ran, who was blocking him, and drew the summoning array directly.

"Student Pei, I've long been an acquaintance of Gu Xiaoyue; if she says she can, I'll let her try! Even if it doesn't work, I've already sent a message to the Ye family to find a high-level healer. At the very least, she's right about having a backup plan!"

Seeing that Ye Junhe wouldn't listen to reason, Pei Ran snorted coldly and sat back down.

Anyway, it was Ye Junhe's own pet; whether it lived or died had nothing to do with him.

Moreover, it was now impossible for Huaqing to take first place in the team competition; now they had to fight Nanya for second, yet he was going to trust Gu Xiaoyue. Was he stupid?

The current Pei Ran had been scared by Duan Yao and automatically assumed Gu Xiaoyue was there to compete with them for second place.

Therefore, deep down, he didn't believe Gu Xiaoyue would genuinely help.

Pei Ran: "I'll see how you regret it later."

Ye Junhe had already summoned Feilian; it was charred black all over, looking even worse than when it first fell.

"It became like this in just a moment?"

Gu Xiaoyue couldn't help but be astonished; she had still underestimated Zhuque's strength!

"Yeah, it's getting worse and worse—"

Ye Junhe also choked up; the school doctor said five days, but given Feilian's condition, he felt it might not even last three days!

"Is this the condition after treatment?"

Gu Xiaoyue frowned and asked in a murmur.

"Can you heal it or not? If you can't, get lost!"

Pei Ran was anxious; she claimed she would heal it, but she was just watching and not doing anything.

Pets could recover in the Yu Beast Space, but summoning them out would only make the situation worse!

Gu Xiaoyue initially didn't want to bother with him, thinking Pei Ran was considering his teammate, which was understandable.

But she had just checked Feilian's condition when she was met with his harsh words.

If he was purely targeting her, then she wouldn't be polite either!

Gu Xiaoyue raised her hand, and over a dozen vines flew out, tying Pei Ran up like a rice dumpling.

Even his mouth was tied up tight!

"Junhe, he's affecting my treatment by being here; throw him out!"
