If Gu Yan hadnʼt been struck by Nangong Li’s palm attack, there might have been a slight chance to intervene and block the defect——just a very thin sheath inserted from the leg to the heart could deliver a blocking device to the damaged area, easily sealing the defect.

But now, the damaged area was too large, and a small occlusion umbrella was no longer sufficient to block the defect. Additionally, there were some complications, making invasive cardiac surgery the only option.

The Imperial Advisor looked at the area where Gu Jiao was disinfecting and asked, ”Youʼre not performing a traditional open-chest surgery?”

Traditional open-chest surgery involved cutting open the sternum from above the heart. The procedure was straightforward, offered a large exposure area, and didn’t demand particularly high technical skills from the doctor.

However, Gu Jiao chose to make a small incision under Gu Yanʼs right armpit, significantly increasing the difficulty of the operation.

”Open-chest surgery leaves a long scar, and the likelihood of complications like postoperative pericardial effusion is also higher.”

She didn’t want to leave such an unsightly scar on Gu Yanʼs chest, nor did she want to cause more damage to his body.

A right-side incision was less traumatic, avoiding damage to bones and muscles. Although it was much more challenging for her to perform, postoperative recovery and the likelihood of complications would be reduced accordingly. Moreover, with such a small incision, the scar could be repaired with ointment from the research institute.

After all, Gu Yan still cared about his appearance.

Gu Jiao inserted a catheter through the incision, established an extracorporeal circulation, and then the real surgery began.

In the guest room, Old Master Meng was sitting in a chair, his leg shaking.

Yu He, noticing that the usually calm and composed Chess Saint of the Six States had started shaking his leg, couldn’t help but try to reassure him, ”Old Master Meng, thereʼs no need to be so nervous. With Lord Imperial Advisor here, the surgery will definitely be successful.”

Yu He wasn’t aware that the actual surgeon was Gu Jiao. All the disciples at the Imperial Advisorʼs Hall revered Lord Imperial Advisor as a deity. They had unwavering faith in him, believing that whether it was medical skills or divination, Lord Imperial Advisor could always perform miracles.

”Iʼm not nervous.” Old Master Meng replied.

”Then why is your leg...” Yu He glanced at Old Master Mengʼs right leg, which was shaking uncontrollably.

Old Master Meng discreetly pressed down on his right leg and asked in a deep voice, ”Whatʼs wrong with my leg?”

Yu He looked at the right leg he had just pressed down, then at his left leg which had unconsciously started to shake.

Yu He: ”...”

At Tianqiong Academy, Gu Xiaoshun went to Mingxin Hall to request a leave of absence from the teacher of todayʼs class.

A few days ago, Teacher Jiang had rescheduled classes, and today was entirely filled with Teacher Gaoʼs arithmetic lesson.

”Why is Xiao Liulang absent again?” Teacher Gao asked.

This was a serious issue with the student, who not only had frequent demerits but also often requested leave.

”What illness is it this time?”

Gu Xiaoshun explained, ”Itʼs not Xiao Liulang who is ill, itʼs Gu Yan. Xiao Liulang has gone to the Imperial Advisorʼs Hall to accompany Gu Yan for surgery.”

Teacher Gao didn’t say anything further.

He wouldn’t care about a student who never listened in class and relied entirely on copying homework!

”Class is starting.” Teacher Gao said as he sat at the lectern, ”Take out the homework I assigned yesterday. Let’s start by examining how to solve the first surgery.”

Students: ”...”

Teacher Gao: ”...”

At the rented residence, Lady Nan was feeding the Black Wind King and the horse king while fretting, ”My heart is all over the place; I feel like something is going to happen.”

The Black Wind King, used to eating fine food, couldnʼt bring itself to eat the grass and vegetable leaves they provided.

The horse king, on the other hand, was munching away contentedly.

Master Lu said, ”Youʼre overthinking it. This is the Imperial Advisorʼs Hall we’re talking about. Iʼve never heard of anyone leaving there uncured.”

Lady Nan gave him a glare, ”How much do you even know about the Imperial Advisorʼs Hall?”

”I...” Master Lu was stumped and muttered under his breath, ”Iʼm just trying to comfort you.”

”Sigh.” Lady Nan sighed heavily, staring at the gate.

The Black Wind King, finally deciding to take a bite of the vegetable leaf, had just stretched its neck when Lady Nan absentmindedly took the basket away.

Black Wind King: ”...”

……

When the surgery was halfway through, the plasma provided by the little medicine chest ran out. Gu Yanʼs blood pressure dropped sharply, and if this continued, he would die on the operating table from excessive blood loss.

”Draw mine.” Gu Jiao said.

”The surgery isnʼt finished yet.” The Imperial Advisor reminded.

”I know.” Gu Jiao rolled up her sleeve, ”White blood cell filter.”

The Imperial Advisor gave Gu Jiao a deep look and said, ”Do you realize what youʼre doing is both insane and dangerous? Iʼve never seen a doctor draw their own blood for a patient during surgery.”

Gu Jiao extended her arm, ”Do it quickly.”

The Imperial Advisor attached the white blood cell filter to the infusion tube, ”How much?”

Gu Jiao replied, ”As much as he needs.”

Fresh blood continuously flowed from Gu Jiaoʼs body, passing through the filter and into Gu Yan’s body.

Gu Yan had never experienced such a sensation. Suffering from a heart condition, he never slept as peacefully as ordinary people, constantly enduring the torment of his illness. But just now, he drifted into a deep sleep, feeling no pain at all.

However, as he slept, his body grew cold, as if he had arrived at a glacier or fallen into an ice cellar.

He felt like he couldnʼt hold on much longer.

But suddenly, a warm current slowly flowed into his body. He felt a warmth he hadnʼt felt in a long time, as if the blood in his veins was once again surging.

He weakly opened his eyes, ”Sister...”

Gu Jiao stood beside him, holding his hand, and leaned down to gently press her forehead against his.

”Gu Yan, you have to hold on.”

”I donʼt know why I ended up in this time and space, but if I have a mission, one of them is definitely to cure you.”

”We canʼt draw any more.” The Imperial Advisor said, ”Weʼve already drawn six hundred milliliters; normally, the maximum is four hundred.”

Without hesitation, Gu Jiao replied, ”Continue.”

Gu Yan, still leaning his forehead against hers, closed his eyes tremblingly, and hot tears rolled down his cheeks, ”Sister... please stop...”

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, ”Scared?”

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!”

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, ”The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?”

Shi Dai replied, ”Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!”

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, ”Donʼt abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, ”Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah.”

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasnʼt finished his lines yet though…
