Although Song Qiguang’s eyes had turned completely black, his vision remained unaffected.
He watched as Jun Lanyue took a piece of black gauze from her Storage Ring and cut a long strip from it.
Seeing this little junior sister, Song Qiguang felt a pang of heartache for her and guessed that, like him, she must have awakened her consciousness.
“Come here, Third Senior Brother. Use this gauze to cover your eyes until they recover. You mustn’t let any light shine on them, or what if your vision gets affected later?”
Jun Lanyue moved gently and carefully as she tied the black gauze over Song Qiguang’s eyes.
After finishing this task, she let out a heavy sigh in her heart.
[Sigh! I feel so sorry for Third Senior Brother. What I just said was only to temporarily reassure him. Without that thing, Third Senior Brother’s eyes won’t be able to recover at all. Moreover, from now on, he won’t be able to use that power again. That thing can only be found in the Mysterious Heaven Sect’s Illusory Realm, and the Mysterious Heaven Sect’s Illusory Realm only opens once every ten years. If I remember correctly, the sect grand competition is followed by the day the Mysterious Heaven Sect opens its Illusory Realm. But I’m not a member of the Mysterious Heaven Sect anymore. Looks like I’ll have to think of a way.]
Upon hearing Jun Lanyue’s inner thoughts, the three of them reacted differently. Rong Jue’s expression remained as cold and indifferent as ever, showing no noticeable change in emotion. Song Qiguang frantically searched through his memories but couldn’t figure out what that thing was even after racking his brain.
As for Pei Yan, he was going crazy inside. Why did Little Junior Sister only say half of what she meant?
Since he didn’t hear any more of Jun Lanyue’s inner thoughts afterward, he secretly made a decision: from now on, he must keep a close watch on Little Junior Sister’s movements.
The Mysterious Heaven Sect is a den of wolves!
After leaving Song Qiguang, Jun Lanyue didn’t immediately return to her own residence. Instead, she followed the direction Rong Jue had taken.
Cultivators naturally have sharp hearing, especially someone as cautious and careful as Rong Jue.
With only a few people in the sect, he was familiar with the distinctive footsteps of each person.
Knowing that Jun Lanyue was following him, he deliberately slowed his pace—or rather, knowing she was following, he intentionally chose to walk.
“Senior Brother, wait up.”
Jun Lanyue didn’t realize that Rong Jue was deliberately waiting for her. Seeing that he was almost at his residence, she quickly called out to him and jogged to catch up.
“What is it?”
Rong Jue stopped and turned around, lowering his gaze to look at Jun Lanyue. In the darkness, he could see her flushed little face and slightly messy hair.
[This guy can really endure it! He’s suffered such serious internal injuries, yet his breathing isn’t the least bit erratic.]
After silently complaining in her heart, Jun Lanyue took out the Elixir Pei Yan had given her and handed it to him. “Here, Senior Brother. Second Senior Brother asked me to bring this to you. He said you’ve suffered some internal injuries and that taking this medicine will help you recover faster.”
Since she was new here and Rong Jue had a solitary and aloof personality, she was afraid he might dislike others deliberately approaching him, so she came up with this excuse.
[Second Senior Brother said this guy never takes medicine when he’s injured. What kind of bad habit is that? Does it feel good to suffer?]
“Understood.”
Taking the small porcelain bottle from her hand, Rong Jue vanished in a flash.
Staring at the spot where he had just disappeared, Jun Lanyue rolled her eyes and couldn’t help but complain in her heart again.
[I knew this guy had a bad habit! He was walking just now, but as soon as he saw me, he used teleportation. What’s the deal? Am I ugly? Or do I have bad breath?]
Jin Wang Wang: […]
It was just saying, is there any possibility that they were walking on purpose to wait for you…
Early the next morning.
As soon as Jun Lanyue woke up and opened her door, she saw Pei Yan standing outside, looking as if he had been there for a while.
[I’m someone used to waking up early, but I didn’t expect Second Senior Brother to get up even earlier. Who is he trying to outdo?]
During the previous ninety-nine times in the Mysterious Heaven Sect, she had to get up before dawn every day. Besides making food for Yun Luo Chen, she also had to train, exhausting herself like a dog. Over time, she had grown accustomed to it.
Hearing her inner thoughts, Pei Yan felt quite helpless. He did indeed wake up early every day, but he had never intended to outdo anyone.
The reason he came so early was twofold. First, late at night, his master had returned from somewhere and instructed him to gather his senior brothers, junior brothers, and junior sister for a discussion the next morning. Second, he was genuinely curious about what could cure Third Junior Brother.
So he thought of coming to his junior sister’s place early, hoping to find out something…
“Second Senior Brother, you’re up so early!” Jun Lanyue stretched lazily before asking with a smile, “Do you need something?”
Seeing that she was already up, Pei Yan relayed what their master had instructed him the previous night. “That’s right, Junior Sister. Last night, Master suddenly told me to notify everyone this morning to gather at his place for a discussion.”
Judging by their master’s serious attitude and the fact that he had instructed him late at night, Pei Yan was certain it must be something very important.
Last night, he couldn’t find their master anywhere, but then he suddenly returned. Pei Yan wondered if their master had gone out to fight someone? After all, such things often happened…
“Then let’s head over now!”
Knowing where Yue Xuanji lived, Jun Lanyue didn’t waste any more time.
“Alright.”
Pei Yan nodded and quickly caught up with her.
[Master even instructed Second Senior Brother late at night. Something big must have happened!]
Pei Yan: […]
Before she even appeared, her inner thoughts had already echoed in his mind.
In the courtyard, Yue Xuanji nearly choked on a sip of tea.
Rong Jue and Song Qiguang had arrived a while earlier and were sitting in their respective seats.
From afar, Jun Lanyue spotted the group and began greeting them, “Good morning, Master. Good morning, First Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother.”
After greeting them, she cheerfully walked over and sat down, her posture honest and well-behaved.
“Good morning, Yueyue!” Yue Xuanji smiled dotingly and mysteriously. “I didn’t want to disturb your sleep, but there’s something important I must tell you all right away.”
He felt that the surprise he was about to reveal would definitely delight his obedient little disciple.
