It wasn't long from the time the announcer declared Wu Ling the victor until Su Xiang burst onto the arena floor, rushing out along with the attendants from The Pit to help her fallen sibling back. While Su Xiang was fast, Yu Jinqi followed closely behind and even Fang Lin managed to extricate himself from Master Chang's private box to rush down to Wu Ling's side on the arena floor.
"Sister Hua," Yu Jinqi said as soon as he arrived. "I have an elixir for the pain," he said, holding out a small porcelain bottle. "Drink all of it. Sister Su, can you carry her back to the Villa?"
"We have facilities here," the guardsman who had given Wu Ling a cup of water said once he caught up to the rushing youths. "You don't have to go all the way home. We can even send for an Alchemist from the Alchemy Consortium if you would like, there are plenty of female Alchemists who can tend to your sister's wounds."
