Luo Zhanyu could not help as it was a very complicated surgery. She should handle it herself. He retreated to a corner quietly. He would only hand her some surgical equipment, occasionally.
Gu Xijiu did not speak another word. She never asked about Baili Ce's condition. She had probably forgotten about his existence.
It had been a very long day for Gu Xijiu, as she had been fighting beasts all day. It was even more physically draining in the last fight, especially the one with the evil dragon.
After that, she had been operating on Baili Ce for more than two hours. Her operation on Di Fuyi took her another four hours. She had been standing all this while.
It was already midnight. Gu Xijiu was still restless.
Although she appeared calm, her face was still ashen. The sweats that broke upon her forehead had indeed revealed her current condition.
Luo Zhanyu offered to replace her, but she refused.
