Chapter 578: Her blood isn't special

Lu Yunfeng's heart was full of resistance.

He wasn't really close to Nan Yan; he only allowed her near because she was his lifesaver.

Especially after the incident where she slandered Ye Qingran, he had grown to dislike Nan Yan, even forbidding her from freely going up and down the back mountain.

He refused to hold her.

Just as Nan Yan thought Lu Yunfeng would publicly embrace her, he suddenly shuddered and collapsed straight backward...

All of this happened too suddenly, unexpected, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

"Lu Yunfeng!"

A low cry rang out, and then everyone saw a figure rush over, supporting him before Lu Yunfeng hit the ground.

"Are you alright?"

Qin Feixue then had Lu Yunfeng sit on the ground, and she protected his head.

Lu Yunfeng closed his eyes, his expression showing his current pain.

This scene felt familiar.

Could it be that his old ailment has flared up again?

Qin Feixue thought it very likely, preparing to slit her wrist and feed him blood, but someone grabbed her wrist.

"Qin Feixue, what are you doing?"

Nan Yan glared at Qin Feixue with a grim expression.

She knew Qin Feixue liked Lu Yunfeng, but Lu Yunfeng was hers—what right did Qin Feixue have to compete with her?

"Let go, I can save him!"

Nan Yan sneered, "You can save him? Qin Feixue, who do you think you are? How would you save him?"

"My blood can save him!" Qin Feixue said earnestly.

"What?"

Nan Yan's eyes flashed, her heart greatly shocked.

Everyone thought she was Lu Yunfeng's lifesaver, even Lu Yunfeng himself believed so.

Actually, that's not the case.

She wasn't Lu Yunfeng's lifesaver at all; she merely got lucky, encountering the about-to-awaken Lu Yunfeng, and after her fabrications, he came to believe she had saved his life.

Once, Lu Yunfeng asked her, after losing so much blood, does your body have any problems?

At the time she was still wondering.

Unexpectedly, the one who actually saved Lu Yunfeng wasn't someone else—it was Qin Feixue.

She used her blood to save Lu Yunfeng.

However, Lu Yunfeng didn't know the truth; otherwise he wouldn't have regarded her as his lifesaver.

But looking at Qin Feixue's appearance, she seems unaware that the credit rightfully hers was long ago taken by someone else.

She probably just thought Lu Yunfeng lacked a human soul and couldn't empathize, so even facing her, his lifesaver, he felt nothing.

If so, she must not let Qin Feixue find out.

Qin Feixue, you fool, just keep being kept in the dark for the rest of your life!

Nan Yan sneered inwardly, but her face remained composed.

"Qin Feixue, don't forget—I saved Brother Yunfeng twice!"

Qin Feixue's eyes showed a hint of desolation.

Indeed, Nan Yan is also Lu Yunfeng's lifesaver.

Then Nan Yan leaned close and whispered, audible only to the two of them: "Qin Feixue, you know me—my blood can also save Brother Yunfeng. Your blood isn't that special."

Qin Feixue's body stiffened.

Yes, her blood isn't special at all.

Seeing Qin Feixue's reaction, Nan Yan felt pleased and continued: "I know you saved Brother Yunfeng once, but there's something I think I should make clear to you."

Nan Yan paused, then said: "Brother Yunfeng said your blood is too fishy, making him feel nauseated, unlike my blood, which has a light floral scent he likes."

Qin Feixue's pupils contracted; she could hardly believe her ears.

As it turns out, he knew she had saved him, but all along he pretended it never happened.

She thought he couldn't empathize, but it wasn't that—he simply treats different people differently.

For example, toward her, and toward Nan Yan.

Qin Feixue felt as if pierced by ten thousand arrows, numb with pain.

Nan Yan straightened her stature, looking down at Qin Feixue; her face still bore the delicate little-flower look, but contempt flickered in her eyes.

Lu Yunfeng certainly never despised Qin Feixue's blood, after all he didn't even know she was his lifesaver.

She said that for two reasons: first, to deliberately disgust Qin Feixue; second, to make her bury this matter forever in her heart.

At that moment, Lu Yunfeng let out a muffled groan, bringing back a fraction of Qin Feixue's rationality.

"Then hurry up and feed him your blood!"

Qin Feixue urged.

Nan Yan narrowed her eyes, saying nothing.

Why would she feed him blood? Doing so would expose the truth.

"After I send Brother Yunfeng back to the Listening Wind Pavilion, I'll feed him blood." Nan Yan said perfunctorily.

Qin Feixue believed her.

She never imagined that Lu Yunfeng himself had been deceived by Nan Yan.

Nan Yan casually pointed out two male disciples, intending to carry Lu Yunfeng back to the Listening Wind Pavilion; just as the two disciples were about to touch him, a voice stopped them.

Hold on!

Following the sound, it was Ye Qingran.

Ye Qingran came to the Training Ground for class, happened to notice the commotion here, walked closer and saw Lu Yunfeng lying on the ground, looking far from optimistic, and she spoke up to interrupt.

The two disciples, seeing it was Ye Qingran, withdrew their hands, and their eyes toward her held a measure of respect.

After all, she is the Pill Emperor.

"Instructor Ye!" the Academy disciples shouted in greeting.

Ye Qingran nodded in acknowledgement and took a few steps to Lu Yunfeng's side.

Nan Yan watched Ye Qingran walk over, instinctively pursed her lips, and a sense of wariness rose within her.

However, recalling that the Tongxin Gu is invisible when still, even the Pill Emperor cannot detect it, she let out a slight sigh of relief.

"Instructor Ye, you arrived just in time—please help Brother Lu Yunfeng take a look!"

She proactively asked Ye Qingran to look at Lu Yunfeng because his human soul was damaged; even the Pill Emperor was powerless, making it a perfect chance to humiliate her.

Ye Qingran didn't look at Nan Yan at all, her eyes stayed fixed on Lu Yunfeng.

She could tell at a glance that Lu Yunfeng's heaven soul and earth soul were separating, in short, very dangerous.

Just on her way to the Training Ground, she had heard of Lu Yunfeng's fainting yesterday.

Although in the absence of the human soul, the heaven and earth souls become less stable and prone to separation, such episodes are not usually this frequent.

"What exactly is happening?"

Ye Qingran asked Nan Yan.

Nan Yan smiled, "Instructor Ye, didn't you notice? Brother Lu Yunfeng's condition is due to unstable heaven and earth souls. As the Pill Emperor, you can surely save him, right?"

"Coincidentally, when he had issues for two consecutive days, you happened to be there—can you explain?"

Nan Yan was momentarily speechless.

"Instructor Ye, that statement is just a coincidence."

"Is that so?"

Ye Qingran gave Nan Yan a deep glance, then crouched to examine Lu Yunfeng.

At that moment, Gu Elder, hearing the news, hurried over.

"Lu Yunfeng? How is he?"
