“What did you say?!”
Jun Lanyue sprang up, not even bothering to put on her shoes before roughly shoving the door open and rushing out.
Watching the door now bearing a human-shaped hole, Jin Wang Wang swallowed hard.
Her host was truly fierce!
Song Qiguang’s residence wasn’t far from hers—just twenty or thirty steps away.
As soon as Jun Lanyue burst out of her room, she saw a blinding white radiance shooting skyward.
The direction of that white radiance was exactly where Song Qiguang was.
[A Wang, what’s happening?]
She asked Jin Wang Wang while sprinting over at top speed.
Jin Wang Wang: [Your third senior brother has prematurely tapped into the power within him.]
Jun Lanyue, having transmigrated into this book a hundred times, was certainly aware of the power residing within Song Qiguang.
[That power is sinister and domineering. Given third senior brother’s current strength, he definitely can’t control it yet. Why would he suddenly use that power?]
Knowing the terror of that power, Jun Lanyue’s heart instantly panicked.
[In the original plot, third senior brother used that power to save Rong Jue. Though he barely managed to control it, it turned his hair white in an instant and left him blind!]
Just imagining such a scene was enough to make one feel suffocated and heartbroken.
Jin Wang Wang: [I don’t know what madness has struck your third senior brother either, host. Anyway, the situation is really bad right now. When you get there, host, whatever you do, don’t get close! That power is very dangerous.]
By the time Jin Wang Wang finished speaking, Jun Lanyue had already rushed to the outside of Song Qiguang’s room.
At that moment, Song Qiguang was completely enveloped in the beam of white radiance. From the outside, only a faint human silhouette could be seen within.
The white radiance was violent; the roof had been torn into fragments, scattered everywhere.
Rong Jue and Pei Yan had arrived earlier than Jun Lanyue. The two had tried many methods but couldn’t pull Song Qiguang out of the white radiance.
And Yue Xuanji was nowhere to be found, leaving them utterly helpless in the current situation.
[It looks like first senior brother and second senior brother have no solutions. In that case, it’s up to me!]
Jun Lanyue took a deep breath, steeled herself, and just as Pei Yan was about to rush over and grab her, she charged into the white radiance.
“Little junior sister!!”
Pei Yan was so frightened by this sight that his face turned pale.
Even though he could hear Jun Lanyue’s inner thoughts, he wasn’t the least bit reassured about her.
The power of that white radiance was too violent. Just moments ago, first senior brother had been forcibly thrown out after trying to enter and was seriously injured.
Little junior sister’s strength was so meager…
He anxiously looked at Rong Jue. “First senior brother, little junior sister, she…”
Before he could finish, he saw Rong Jue also charge in after her.
“F-first senior brother!!”
This shout from Pei Yan was even more heart-wrenching than the previous one. First senior brother had already suffered significant injuries, and they were severe internal wounds at that. Charging in again now—wouldn’t that be the end of him?
Without another thought, he too rushed in!
If his senior brothers and junior sister were gone, what meaning was there in living alone?
But as soon as Rong Jue and Pei Yan charged into the white radiance, both were dumbfounded by the scene before them.
“F-first senior brother, second senior brother, why are you here too?”
Jun Lanyue was holding a massive, unknown object in her hands. That object possessed powerful suction, drawing all the energy pouring from Song Qiguang’s eyes into a concentrated mass.
“Uh…” Pei Yan was so astonished by this miraculous sight that he stammered, “I, I, I was worried about little junior sister and third junior brother’s safety, along with first senior brother.”
But now it seemed his worry was unnecessary…
“What kind of divine artifact is that in Junior Sister’s hand?”
Pei Yan stared intently at the large object in Jun Lanyue’s hand, unable to make out what it was.
“This? Hehe~” Jun Lanyue chuckled foolishly, “A magnet.”
“A magnet?” Pei Yan shook his head, “I don’t understand.”
[It would be strange if you did. This is the big treasure A Wang gave me—a special-function giant magnet. I’m just sucking back the energy that Third Senior Brother spilled out, hehe…]
Rong Jue and Pei Yan remained expressionless, but inwardly they were utterly astonished. They didn’t understand, but it sounded incredibly impressive.
Once she had absorbed enough, Jun Lanyue freed one hand and beckoned to the two of them. “It’s a good thing First Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother followed me in. Otherwise, handling this alone would have been tough.”
She was asking for their help, and Rong Jue and Pei Yan immediately understood.
“Junior Sister, what do we do?”
Pei Yan crouched down, looking at the dense energy cluster in Jun Lanyue’s hand, an inexplicable sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
“First Senior Brother, hold Third Senior Brother down. It might hurt a bit. As for Second Senior Brother, just help me pry open Third Senior Brother’s eyelids.”
Song Qiguang’s eyes were tightly shut now, his entire body unconscious and extremely weak.
Rong Jue glanced down at the energy cluster in Jun Lanyue’s hand, something flickering in his eyes.
As if hesitating for a moment, he crouched down and pressed Song Qiguang firmly in place.
Pei Yan, meanwhile, did as Jun Lanyue instructed and used his hand to pry open one of Song Qiguang’s eyelids.
The moment the eyelid was lifted, Pei Yan gasped sharply!
Song Qiguang’s eyeball had turned pitch black, like a vast black hole.
Even the usually aloof and indifferent Rong Jue couldn’t help but narrow his eyes at such a sight!
[Thank goodness, thank goodness, it’s not too late.]
Gritting her teeth, Jun Lanyue scooped out a lump of the energy cluster and stuffed it into Song Qiguang’s pitch-black eye socket.
The moment the energy entered his body, he trembled violently, convulsing in pain.
“First Senior Brother, hold him steady!”
Jun Lanyue remained completely unflustered, continuing to stuff energy into Song Qiguang’s eye.
Though Rong Jue was usually cold, he proved utterly reliable in critical moments.
With just one hand, he restrained Song Qiguang so thoroughly that he couldn’t move at all.
“Third Junior Brother, endure it a little longer.” Pei Yan’s heart ached so much he wished he could bear the pain for him. “It’ll be over soon.”
Jun Lanyue worked quickly, and in no time she had stuffed all that energy back into Song Qiguang’s eyes.
The energy was restored, but Song Qiguang’s whitened hair didn’t turn black again, and his eyes remained pitch black, like two deep, unfathomable pools of darkness.
“Junior Sister…” Song Qiguang propped himself up and reached out to ruffle Jun Lanyue’s hair. “If it weren’t for you, your Third Senior Brother would have been finished this time.”
Only he himself knew what he had just witnessed—those bloody, cruel, and despairing scenes replaying over and over, suffocating, making it hard to breathe.
They were the most important people to him in this world. The thought of them dying tragically, again and again, in the same way, tore at his heart, leaving a pain that lingered long after.
[Exactly! If I hadn’t risked my life to save you, you’d have been done for this time. It’s strange, though—what on earth caused Third Senior Brother to lose control of that power so inexplicably?]
Jun Lanyue felt puzzled inside, but this was what she said, “I was just too worried about Third Senior Brother, so I thought of trying a desperate remedy—and unexpectedly it worked. Luckily, my foolish method actually proved useful. The best outcome is that Third Senior Brother is fine.”
The three people present: “…”
Song Qiguang suppressed his inner emotions and nodded with a smile.
