Chapter 579: I Refuse!

Gu Elder, seeing Instructor Ye checking Lu Yunfeng's condition, was startled for a moment and closed his mouth.

"Instructor Ye, if you can't do it, let Gu Elder take Brother Yunfeng for treatment. The Director once spared no effort to find a method using an array to stabilize the Heaven Soul and Earth Soul for Brother Yunfeng…"

Nan Yan said in a snide tone.

This remark, on one hand, was a satire on Instructor Ye, who as Pill Emperor was helpless regarding Lu Yunfeng;

on the other hand, it also prevented Qin Feixue from stepping forward at this moment.

It could be called a win‑win.

"Instructor Ye, what do you say?" Gu Elder asked softly.

Instructor Ye stood up, looked at Gu Elder, and said, "The Compassionate Soul‑Transport Array is no longer effective on him."

Gu Elder was startled and asked instinctively, "Instructor Ye, how did you know we are using the Compassionate Soul‑Transport Array?"

After asking, Gu Elder shook his head and gave a self‑mocking smile.

Indeed, after all, she is the Pill Emperor; it's not surprising she knows the Compassionate Soul‑Transport Array.

Instructor Ye naturally knows the Compassionate Soul‑Transport Array.

After all, it is the only remaining array that stabilizes the soul and is the most effective.

"Instructor Ye, the Compassionate Soul‑Transport Array is the most effective array; how could it possibly fail?" Nan Yan asked with a smile.

Gu Elder said, "Instructor Ye is right; yesterday we discovered that the Compassionate Soul‑Transport Array is of little use for Brother Yunfeng's injuries and may no longer be usable…"

As he spoke, he let out a sigh.

If there is no array repair, unless a human soul is found, otherwise…

However, the Sea of Severed Souls is so vast that a single human soul within it is but a drop in the ocean. Even if found, it is hard to bring it out of the Sea of Severed Souls unless something like a Soul‑Attracting Pearl exists.

Originally, Dan Valley possessed a Soul‑Attracting Pearl, but when Dan Saint Ling Xianliu left, the Pearl also disappeared without a trace.

Nan Yan was startled. She hadn't expected Gu Elder to say that.

"The array failed?"

"That would mean…"

"Gu Elder, didn't the Director also prepare other backup methods?"

Gu Elder shook his head, "Those methods are not as effective as the Compassionate Soul‑Transport Array."

Saying that, Gu Elder looked at Instructor Ye, "Instructor Ye, is there any solution?"

Instructor Ye squinted and said, "There is."

【7】 Gu Elder was pleased and hurriedly asked, "What method?"

Gu Elder was pleased and hurriedly asked, "What method?"

"Blood!"

"Blood?"

Nan Yan's heart gave a clunk.

She never imagined Instructor Ye would know that some blood could be effective for Lu Yunfeng's injuries.

"In this world, some people's blood has a soul‑coagulating effect."

Hearing Instructor Ye say that, Nan Yan's heartbeat quickened, and she subconsciously glanced at Qin Feixue.

No, she couldn't let Brother Yunfeng drink Qin Feixue's blood, or it would be exposed.

"Instructor Ye may not know, Brother Yunfeng has a strong aversion to impurity and rarely resists drinking others' blood. Moreover, he is kind‑hearted and knows that drinking blood harms the donor's body, so he wouldn't be willing to do so."

Nan Yan thought that the most important thing now was to put the blood issue aside.

Upon hearing Nan Yan say that, Qin Feixue's eyes were filled with melancholy.

Lu Yunfeng disliked her blood's strong scent; he probably wouldn't be willing to drink her blood again, right?

"Oh? From what you say, is there a good method?" Instructor Ye asked with a smile.

Nan Yan steadied her mind, "Indeed, Dan Valley has a secret technique that we could try."

In fact, Dan Valley has no such secret technique at all; she was just bluffing. She hadn't guaranteed that this so‑called technique would work.

Anyway, the Director will be back soon and will definitely cure Brother Yunfeng.

"Is that so?"

Nan Yan met Instructor Ye's half‑smiling gaze and suddenly felt an ominous premonition.

"Of course!" she gritted her teeth, trying to steady her mind.

"I'm afraid it's too late."

When the words fell, Lu Yunfeng's whole body involuntarily trembled, his complexion instantly shifting from pallid to ashen—a sign that his life force was rapidly draining.

"Yunfeng?!" Gu Elder shouted anxiously, "Instructor Ye, what should we do now?" He was in utter turmoil.

"No rush, there's blood on site that has the soul‑coagulating effect."

Instructor Ye, however, remained very calm.

When those words were spoken, everyone, including Gu Elder, was stunned.

Instructor Ye said that since there is blood on site with the soul‑coagulating effect, wouldn't that mean Lu Yunfeng could be saved?

"Who?"

There was a brief hesitation, and instantly countless gazes converged on Nan Yan.

Obviously, everyone thought it was Nan Yan.

After all, she had saved Lu Yunfeng twice.

"Besides Nan Yan, I can't think of anyone else!"

"The person Instructor Ye mentioned must be Nan Yan!"

"It has to be Nan Yan!"

Almost everyone was shouting Nan Yan's name.

Only Qin Feixue lightly brushed her face, shielding the loneliness and sorrow in her eyes.

Even the curve of her lips carried a hint of unknown bitterness.

She wishes she could say that actually her blood could also save Lu Yunfeng.

But she cannot.

Because Nan Yan already exists, she has become a dispensable existence.

However, at this moment Nan Yan does not appear as conspicuously as everyone thinks.

She is panicking to the extreme inside.

She never imagined things would develop to this point!

As for the person with Condensed Soul Blood that Ye Qingran mentioned, could it be Qin Feixue?

No, not allowed!

That damned Ye Qingran must be here to undermine her. Whenever she is present, nothing good ever happens!

Gu Elder couldn't wait and asked: "Who is the person Instructor Ye mentioned?"

Ye Qingran's gaze wandered through the crowd and finally settled on Qin Feixue.

Nan Yan saw this, her complexion changed repeatedly.

Qin Feixue kept her face down until she sensed something off in the atmosphere, then lifted her head, saw Ye Qingran looking at her, and her heart immediately raced.

"Me?" Qin Feixue hesitantly reached out, pointing at her own face.

Ye Qingran nodded.

Qin Feixue's pupils slightly contracted, and she asked, "Instructor Ye, how did you determine that?"

"I was certain the moment I first saw you."

"Hm?"

Qin Feixue was greatly startled.

Ye Qingran explained, "Condensed Soul Blood is one in ten thousand miles, inherently extremely special, carrying a faint unique medicinal scent; ordinary alchemy masters can't detect it, but I, a Pill Emperor, if I still can't smell it, that would be unbelievable."

"I see."

Qin Feixue nodded in understanding, but deep down recalled what Nan Yan had just said to her.

"Brother Lu Yunfeng said your blood is too gamey, makes him feel nauseous, unlike my blood, which has a faint floral scent, the taste he likes."

Instructor Ye says her blood clearly has a medicinal scent, yet Lu Yunfeng finds it nauseating, only sensing Nan Yan's blood fragrance—does he thus despise and reject himself so severely?

"Qin Feixue?"

Gu Elder, of course, knows Qin Feixue.

She might be the most normal among the seven disciples of Renxu 108 Class.

"Are you willing to feed blood to Lu Yunfeng?"

Gu Elder asked anxiously yet expectantly.

Qin Feixue bit her lip, hesitated for a second, and said, "I am not willing."
