Chapter 1009

"I never expected to find a way to survive. But I am so severely injured now, I fear I will not be able to hold on, and will have no way to repay Young Master Gu for his great kindness."

Gu Hanyuan chuckled lightly:

"Have you not heard Yun'er speak of me? Even if the King of Hell wants to claim your soul, he must first ask me."

Li Qiu was stunned upon hearing this.

With a complex expression, she said:

"Is there truly still hope for me?"

Gu Hanyuan smiled warmly:

"Of course. Ye Erniang, take us to a quiet room."

Ye Erniang froze for a moment.

She obediently led the two into a room.

Gu Hanyuan's calm voice came through.

"Close the door."

After Ye Erniang closed the door as instructed.

Gu Hanyuan laid Li Qiu flat on the bed.

He took a silver needle pouch from his storage space.

With his current cultivation base and medical skills.

Li Qiu's injuries were not considered troublesome.

However, before he began.

He stared fixedly at Li Qiu's face, which was covered in scars.

Li Qiu saw Gu Hanyuan staring intently at her face.

Even though she did not see any disgust or aversion in his eyes.

There was only pity and tenderness.

After all, Li Qiu's beauty was rare in the world.

Coupled with the alluring temperament she naturally possessed.

It would not be an exaggeration to say she was born with an alluring bone structure.

A normal man would only think of the bed upon seeing her for the first time.

It was indeed a pity for it to be ruined like this.

But at this moment, an indescribable sense of shame and inferiority welled up in Li Qiu's heart.

Recalling when she was at the Qingfeng Pavilion, she had even teased Gu Hanyuan with her words.

Yet now, her most real and ugly side was exposed before him just like this.

Previously, the situation on the field was unclear, and the atmosphere was solemn.

Li Qiu had subconsciously ignored Gu Hanyuan's opinion of her.

Now that she was completely safe, being stared at by Gu Hanyuan like this.

She could no longer endure it.

Especially when compared to Gu Hanyuan's god-like handsome appearance.

That sense of disparity was even more intense.

Li Qiu turned her head to the side.

The corners of her eyes held a faint glimmer of aggrieved tears.

She pleaded:

"Do not look at my face."

Gu Hanyuan said indifferently:

"What a pity."

However, Gu Hanyuan's words, which carried a sense of regret amidst their flatness, completely stung Li Qiu.

Li Qiu no longer avoided Gu Hanyuan's gaze.

She said hysterically and indignantly:

"It's very ugly, isn't it? It was done by your beloved Yun'er! She ruined the part of me I was most proud of!"

Gu Hanyuan was silent for a moment.

He sighed faintly.

Under Li Qiu's incredulous gaze, he reached out and gently stroked the ugly wound on her face.

The sensation of his fingertips gently stroking the scar made Li Qiu shudder all over.

Gu Hanyuan's gentle words made Li Qiu's eye sockets heat up.

She nearly shed tears.

"Since it was a disaster caused by my disciple, as her Master, I naturally must take responsibility for her." ===== CHAPTER 1011 =====
