Saintly Virtue Daoist answered, "But it can be confird that the Life Seal’s effectiveness is far beyond what appears on the surface!"
Xiao Tian thought for a mont. Although Saintly Virtue Daoist’s words seed a bit redundant, they weren’t wrong. Otherwise, why would Dao Yi Sect spend decades, wasting manpower and resources, to research this artifact?!
Just as Xiao Tian was about to continue his questioning, his extrely sturdy phone, known for being waterproof, drop-proof, and having excellent signal—but only capable of making calls—suddenly rang in his pocket.
It was a number only his closest friends knew!
Xiao Tian quickly pulled out his phone. Seeing that familiar string of numbers, his heart skipped a beat—it was a call from Yu Ningxue.
Yu Ningxue was currently at the hospital, calling at this ti...
Xiao Tian fervently hoped, hoping that Yu Ningxue just couldn’t reach him on his work number and was calling his private line instead.
But deep down, he knew very well that Yu Ningxue wouldn’t call this number unless it was urgent!
Sure enough, as soon as the call connected, he heard Yu Ningxue’s anxious voice, "Where are you? Bingxuan’s condition suddenly worsened, you need to co quickly!"
After thanking the young colonel, Xiao Tian rushed to the hospital with unprecedented speed.
Along the way, seeing Xiao Tian soaring through the air like a superhero, passersby exclaid, pulling out their phones to capture the rare exciting scene.
Xiao Tian, filled with anxiety, couldn’t bother with these things, ignoring the exclamations around him and the curses from drivers who slamd on their brakes.
Even though to ordinary people his speed seed unbelievable, with people often only catching a fleeting glimpse of a figure, defying sense.
Yet Xiao Tian wished he had two extra legs, desperately using any cultivation technique that might increase his speed.
Finally, Xiao Tian reached the hospital in six minutes and nineteen seconds, while it would have taken twenty minutes to drive from his starting point!
This clearly showed his level of anxiety!
In the ward, Yu Ningxue watched as the doctors prepared to transfer Lin Bingxuan to the intensive care unit, pacing anxiously, sweat on her forehead.
"Swish!"
The sound of a window being drawn open caught everyone’s attention, only to see Xiao Tian had entered the ward from outside the window...
The doctors remained in their original positions, staring at Xiao Tian like they had seen a ghost.
This was the thirteenth floor, and he climbed in from the outside?!
Oh my God! Is he even human?!
Everyone was stunned, not knowing how to react!
It was Yu Ningxue who reacted first, her eyes lighting up upon seeing Xiao Tian as if seeing her rock. She didn’t care how Xiao Tian arrived so quickly or how he climbed in through the window!
Xiao Tian parted the doctors and nurses, creating a person-wide path to Lin Bingxuan, reaching out to grasp her wrist, his brow furrowing...
The doctors and nurses, familiar with this renowned man who had twice demonstrated exceptional surgical skill in the hospital, could only stand still, watching as Xiao Tian furrowed his brow.
"Everyone, please leave!" Xiao Tian said hoarsely, scanning the room.
The lead attending physician nodded, signaling everyone to leave the ward.
After they left and closed the door, Yu Ningxue ca forward with a towel soaked in cold water, gently placing it on Lin Bingxuan’s forehead.
"Bingxuan’s condition..."
Seeing Xiao Tian’s clearly worried face and Lin Bingxuan’s flushed cheeks, Yu Ningxue felt overwheld, regretting her poor timing for conversation!
The words she wanted to ask about Lin Bingxuan’s condition were imdiately retracted.
Xiao Tian, however, wasn’t concerned with this, nearly on the verge of breaking down.
Just half an hour ago, he had used True Qi to stabilize Lin Bingxuan’s fading life force, but within just over twenty minutes, a previously stable situation had beco unstable again.
It was like a dam that had been blocked, now showing signs of breaching again.
Lin Bingxuan’s situation seed critical on the surface but wasn’t as severe as it appeared; it was just a signal!
When a truly dire situation occurs, it might not be as obvious.
If Lin Bingxuan’s current situation was like a dam about to break, what Xiao Tian could do was only to reinforce the breach, unable to raise the dam or redirect the waters.
Pulling himself together, Xiao Tian looked at the equally anxious Yu Ningxue, pulling her into his arms and softly saying, "You’ve had a hard ti these past few days!"
Yu Ningxue’s nose tingled; with these words, it felt like all their efforts weren’t in vain!
Seeing the bloodshot eyes in Yu Ningxue’s beautiful gaze, Xiao Tian carried her to the other bed beside Lin Bingxuan, saying with so heartache, "Get so sleep!"
"I don’t want to!" Yu Ningxue naturally understood Xiao Tian’s concern for her, but she didn’t want to leave his embrace, forcing herself to fight the encroaching sleepiness.
These past few days, Yu Ningxue had been busy at the police station during the day and running to the hospital at night to take care of Lin Bingxuan.
Even though Xiao Tian had arranged everything before heading to Lu Province, Yu Ningxue was still willing to silently do all of this for him in the background.
Resting her eyes as she leaned against Xiao Tian, Yu Ningxue showed a contented smile.
Thankfully, Xiao Tian isn’t the type to take a loved one’s sacrifices for granted, making it all worth it!
It’s not that Yu Ningxue did these things for Xiao Tian to see; she just wanted to help the one she loved as much as possible, not wanting to see him fight alone!
As for Xiao Tian, he always believed that a person could give everything for the one they love, but that’s for the giver to decide.
For anyone, giving unconditionally without receiving any return or even a response is the cruelest thing for the one silently sacrificing!
Therefore, he couldn’t take Yu Ningxue’s sacrifice for granted, even though it was her choice!
Feeling her breathing gradually steady, Xiao Tian laid her down, covering her with a blanket, and gave her a deep kiss on the forehead...
Yu Ningxue finally fell asleep, leaving only Xiao Tian with the ability to speak in the ward for the ti being.
Xiao Tian sat silently between the two, guarding them, protecting his won!
Just as he pondered how to resolve the dilemma, downstairs in the hospital, a group of people in camouflage and tailored suits looked tensely at others sharing the sa purpose.
These were all forr trainees of Xiao Tian, but from different batches and various military districts, with the two major districts soon set to conduct joint exercises.
Encountering each other now, it was like fate had arranged a showdown!
