Chapter 418 Blindness
Chapter 418 Blindness
In the next few days, Lin Chuan stayed in Tianjian Peak to practice.
Although Li Yue said that she would not come to Tianjian Peak in the next few days, she still came to stay for a while every day on the grounds of delivering resources, inspecting alchemy, and fulfilling her promise to Xu Hanyi, but she did not allow Lin Chuan to act recklessly.
That day, Li Yue sat quietly at the table as usual, holding a book in her hands, but her eyes were fixed on Lin Chuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed and practicing hard.
Suddenly, her expression changed drastically, as if she had realized something. A look of panic flashed across her face, and even the book in her hand trembled slightly unconsciously.
"Hold on, what am I afraid of? I don't have any..."
Li Yue took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in her heart, and walked out the door pretending to be calm.
Outside the side hall, the skylight was shining.
As soon as Xu Hanyi and Jiang Wanying landed, they saw Li Yue walking out of the hall.
"I'll return the token to you. I'm going back to Tianyao Peak."
Li Yue flicked her fingertips, and the restriction token flew towards Xu Hanyi with a streak of light.
Xu Hanyi raised his hand and caught the token steadily. A gentle smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and his eyes were sincere: "Thank you for your hard work during my absence."
Li Yue turned her face away slightly, her voice unconsciously lowered a few degrees: "It's... It's not very hard."
As if she had thought of something, her ears flushed slightly, her eyes dodged but she pretended to be casual and said, "Xiao Linchuan has a very high talent for alchemy. In his free time in the future, you can let him come to me to learn alchemy."
"I remember clearly that when I entrusted Chuan'er to you, you were full of reluctance. How come you've changed your temper now and don't even dislike it anymore?"
Xu Hanyi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked Li Yue up and down with a probing look.
"..."
Li Yue paused for a moment, a hint of unnaturalness flashing across her face. She hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Yes... I misunderstood Xiao Linchuan before. He is diligent and studious, and he is a good seedling for alchemy."
Xu Hanyi nodded slightly, his expression serious. "Okay, from now on, you will be the one teaching Chuan'er the art of alchemy. However, Chuan'er has an extremely strange talent. Many things that ordinary people can't do can come true for him. Please pay more attention when teaching him."
"Ah."
Li Yue's eyes flickered to Jiang Wanying, who remained silent, and her tone was calm but with a hint of unnaturalness: "If there's nothing else, I'll go back to Tianjian Peak.
After she finished speaking, she did not linger any longer. Her figure rushed towards Tianyao Peak like an arrow and disappeared in the distance in the blink of an eye.
……
Demon clan, Lin Wanxi's bedroom.
"You're just a bunch of trash. You can't even protect one person. What use do I have for you?"
Jun Moxie's eyes widened as he glared at the three women who were kneeling and trembling on the ground below, and said angrily.
He exuded a chilling murderous intent, as if he was going to cut the person in front of him into pieces in the next second.
But when his eyes swept over the huddled bodies of the three people, and he thought that these were the people Lin Wanxi had risked her life to rescue, he slowly lowered his raised hand, and his murderous intent gradually faded away.
"Father, don't blame them."
Lin Wanxi lay weakly on the bed, her voice so weak that it was almost inaudible.
Her eyes were tightly wrapped with a circle of white cloth, and her pale face showed a trace of haggardness and fatigue.
"Xixi, be good, don't talk, and have a good rest."
Xue Ji sat by the bed, gently holding Lin Wanxi's hand, her voice soft and full of heartache.
She looked at Lin Wanxi's eyes wrapped in white cloth, and her eyes became redder, her face full of worry.
"Father……"
Lin Wanxi tilted her head slightly towards Jun Moyue, her lips slightly parted, her tone carrying a hint of persistence.
"..."
Jun Moxie was silent for a moment, took a deep look at Lin Wanxi lying on the bed, and finally waved his hand, "Go down."
The three women kneeling below raised their heads cautiously as if they had been pardoned, looked at each other, then kowtowed lightly, slowly stood up, and walked out of the room with light steps.
"Hey, look at you. They were originally the guards arranged by your father for you. If they die, they die. As long as you live, it's fine. Why do you care about them?"
Jun Moxie sighed softly, walked to the bedside, leaned over slightly, and looked at Lin Wanxi with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"Those sisters usually treat me very well. I have the ability to save them, so of course I will save them."
Lin Wanxi frowned slightly, her tone weak but firm.
"Ridiculous! Your cultivation is already weak. The journey to the demon tribe to open the Immortal Demon Eye was already the limit of your body's endurance. Now that it is opened this time, if you can't find a solution, you will never see again. Do you know that?"
Jun Moxie frowned, his face full of anger and worry, and his voice rose a few degrees, almost shouting.
"Why are you so fierce? Xi'er is kind-hearted and can't bear to see those around her in danger. How could she be like you, Lord Demon Ancestor, who only puts profit first?"
Xue Ji raised her eyebrows and looked at Jun Moyue with displeasure, her tone full of obvious dissatisfaction.
"you……"
"Just spoil her."
After saying that, Jun Moyue turned around and strode away, leaving only Xue Ji and Lin Wanxi in the room.
"Xixi, are you hungry? Do you want to eat braised fish? Auntie will make it for you."
Xue Ji gently stroked Lin Wanxi's hair and asked softly.
"No, Aunt Xue, I'm not hungry."
Lin Wanxi shook her head gently, a smile appearing on her pale face.
"Silly girl, I should have stopped you from going..."
Xue Ji sighed softly, her eyes slightly red, and said self-blamingly.
"It's okay, Aunt Xue, don't blame yourself anymore. Look, at least I'm still alive and well."
Lin Wanxi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and spoke softly with a soothing smile.
Since she parted with Ye Xiaoxiao last time, Lin Wanxi brought three attendants in the Spirit Transformation Realm assigned by Jun Moyue, and according to the records in ancient books, they searched for the relics left by the first generation of Demon Lord.
During her exploration, despite the life-saving efforts of three powerful gods, she still triggered a restriction. At the critical moment, three servants wanted to risk their lives to save her, but she refused.
In the end, she escaped with them at the painful cost of having her Immortal Demon Eye and Immortal Demon Body almost destroyed.
"Xixi, have a good rest. I'll find a way to get Lin Chuan to accompany you."
Xue Ji gently tucked the corner of the quilt for Lin Wanxi, her voice full of tenderness.
"what?"
Lin Wanxi was slightly startled, then shook her head fiercely, "No need, Aunt Xue, the young master has his own things to do, and I... I don't want to see him now."
"Are you worried that he will dislike your current appearance? If he dares, I will ask your father to kill him!"
Xue Ji's fingers gently stroked Lin Wanxi's pale cheek, her tone full of unquestionable protectiveness.
"..."
Lin Wanxi was silent for a long time, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and she slowly shook her head: "I never worry that the young master will dislike me like this."
She clutched the quilt, her fingertips turning white, and her voice was filled with inextricable worry.
"I'm just afraid... I'm afraid he'll worry about me if he finds out, and even more afraid he'll impulsively put himself in danger for me. If I really put him in danger because of me, I'll never forgive myself for the rest of my life."
