Chapter 46 | Aid

He spat out the blood and all his strength seemed to have drained away, leaving his feet weak. He was about to fall to the ground.

At this moment, he suddenly released his hold on Father Emperor's hand and his entire body fell into an embrace with familiar sandalwood fragrance. Resisting the dizziness clouding his brain, he opened his eyes, only to see his father's eyes filled with frostiness, however, it melted to show concern as he looked at him.

"I promised that I won't let anything happen to you." Carefully cradling him in his arms, Qi Xutian dropped a light, apologetic kiss on his forehead.

He had been distracted by the zither's music just now, but MingEr's blood made all the illusions before him suddenly disappear.

As long as the will is firm, it wasn't easy to be beguiled by the music from the zither. MingEr was beside him; he did not allow himself to relax the slightest bit. Right then, he heard the sound coming from the zither and his eyes turned frosty.

When Qi Mingyue saw that he had repelled the influence of the music, he breathed a sigh of relief. His formerly weakened body gradually recovered, however, the dormant Zuizhu in his body became active once again and its freshly-roused power protected his heart, effectively suppressing the onset of Lianxin gu.

Originally, according to the method mentioned by Jiang Yao, at this point, he should have fought against it with Tianyin's Sound Mind Method, gotten close to Chu Yu, and then managed to disturb the music of his zither, causing him to faint.

However, when he actually came to this point, he realised that getting closer was easier said than done. His body was afflicted with gu, if he tried getting close, he's afraid that the gu would have struck again but this time, he may not be as lucky as before.

After thinking about it deeper, only sound could be used to beat sound. Unfortunately, the stringed zither that he'd been practising for a while couldn't be brought, so he didn't have an instrument at hand that he could use to play Tianyin.

All of a sudden, his eyes fell on the forest behind Qi Xutian and he unexpectedly remembered something, so he said to Qi Xutian, "Father, can you get some leaves for me? It should be neither too big nor too small, neither too thick nor too thin. You must search carefully."

Seeing his smile, Qi Xutian understood that he must have found a suitable method, so he put him down and used light footwork to land right beside the trees that had been behind him.

When he landed in front of Qi Mingyue, he already held several leaves in his hand, all of which were of uniform size and thickness, complete in shape and bright green in colour.

Qi Mingyue picked one out of his hand, raised his head and said with a solemn expression, "I will disrupt his music, he would possibly show his flaw only for a single moment. Father would have to make a move at this moment and restrain him so that we can save him."

Qi Xutian nodded. If it weren't for the fact that MingEr had survived the danger earlier, he would have killed that man. Now that MingEr was fine, saving him would help MingEr get rid of the Lianxin gu. He wouldn't let that man die no matter what and make him detoxify MingEr.

Qi Mingyue stood beside him, raised the leaf in his hand, brought it to his lips and slightly held his breath. He operated Tianyin's Pure Heart Technique and leisurely music of a flute suddenly sounded.

On the other hand, Qi Xutian carefully observed the person in front of him, waiting for the music from the zither to be disturbed.

The clear and bright sound of music, akin to music from a flute, gradually sounded. It swung between the intermittent melody of the zither that was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, like a cheerful bird it vaulted soothingly, like the breeze blowing across the stream, making a ripple; slow, soft and light.
