Lin Hongyu Returns, Lin Ge Reconstructs His Eyes
Pei Zimo frowned, his face showing worry, and couldn't help but ask, "Is Lin Ge alright?"
After saying that, he immediately pressed his face against the door, his ear pressed against the door panel, trying hard to hear what was happening inside, muttering, "I can't hear anything."
Just then, Lin Hongyu's voice suddenly came from behind Pei Zimo: "I can't hear him right now, he's set up Soundproof Barrier."
Pei Zimo trembled in surprise, turning around abruptly with a look of astonishment. "?? When did you get here?"
Lin Hongyu raised an eyebrow and replied, "I just arrived and have been looking for you for ages. What are you all doing here?"
Pei Zimo suddenly slapped Lin Hongyu on the shoulder and asked, "You broke through?"
Lin Hongyu, looking smug, tossed his hair and raised his chin, saying, "Having stayed in the Small World for so long, wouldn't it be unreasonable not to break through?"
Pei Zimo nodded in agreement and said, "That's true."
Then, he stretched out his arm, hooked it around Lin Hongyu's neck, and said mysteriously, "Let me tell you what happened while you were gone."
Lin Hongyu nodded happily, and the two moved together to a corner, leaning against each other and whispering to each other.
A moment later, Lin Hongyu's eyes widened, and he exclaimed incredulously, "So much has happened while I was away! And the Master has taken in so many subordinates!"
Then, he pouted and drooped his head, saying, "I'm not the most favored anymore."
Pei Zimo raised an eyebrow and retorted without hesitation, "You never were."
Lin Hongyu pretended not to hear and muttered to himself, "I'm never going into seclusion again. You're not improving as fast as you are, following the Master."
Pei Zimo tilted his head and said with a grin, "Okay."
Lin Hongyu leaned even closer and pressed, "So what's the situation for you now?"
Pei Zimo frowned and slowly said, "Lin Ge has been in seclusion for two days. A quarter of an hour ago, his aura suddenly became extremely weak. I don't know if it's because he failed to break through."
He paused, then added, "We thought we'd come see him, but as you know, he set up Soundproof Barrier after that aura, and we can't force our way in."
Lin Hongyu's expression was solemn as he said in a deep voice, "If he didn't fail to break through, forcing his way in would mean all his efforts were in vain."
Pei Zimo nodded vigorously after hearing this.
As they were talking, a thick cloud of black mist suddenly billowed out, and Ning Shi's figure appeared instantly.
Upon seeing this, Pei Zimo's mouth dropped open in surprise, and he exclaimed, "Ning Shi? What are you doing here too?"
Ning Shi crossed his arms and said leisurely, "If you hadn't come soon, you would have gone crazy with worry. Lin Ge is fine; it's due to his Cultivation Technique."
Pei Zimo nodded in realization and said, "So, you even know Lin Ge's Cultivation Techniques. You two have a really good relationship."
Ning Shi tilted his head slightly, managing to squeeze out a weak "Mmm."
He thought to himself, how could he not know? Having gone through several reincarnations, he knew Lin Ge's Cultivation Techniques inside and out.
He once took advantage of this moment to rashly sneak in and attack Lin Ge, only to find that it was due to the special nature of his Cultivation Technique, and that Lin Ge was actually fine.
The result was obvious: he was mercilessly killed by Lin Ge.
Thinking of this, he clenched his fists tightly, cursing inwardly, "This Cultivation Technique is just to lure people in and kill them."
Inside Lin Ge's house
Chaos reigned all around. Tiny cracks crisscrossed the walls, papers flew everywhere, ink spilled on the ground, and various objects fell and shattered into pieces.
In the center of this chaos, Lin Ge knelt down, his aura surging violently.
He covered his eyes tightly with both hands, blood seeping from between his fingers, veins bulging as if countless venomous insects were viciously gnawing at his eyeballs.
His body trembled slightly, and a few suppressed groans escaped from his throat.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment. After a long while, he finally lowered his hands, and within his empty eye sockets, a pair of brand-new eyes were being reshaped at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His long hair was disheveled, covering most of his face, and swayed gently with his weak breathing.
A moment later, Lin Ge's fingers twitched slightly, and a ribbon appeared in his hand.
He slowly raised his hand and, somewhat sluggishly, tied the ribbon over his eyes.
However, the ribbon could not obstruct his view; even through this barrier, he could still clearly see the scene outside.
Then, his gaze shifted to the corner, and he reached out to pick up the slightly worn bamboo stick.
His fingers moved nimbly through the strands of hair, skillfully tying it up.
After doing all this, he sensed the presence of Pei Zimo and the others outside the door and slowly pushed the door open.
Hearing the faint sound, the people outside the door all turned to look.
Pei Zimo asked anxiously, "Lin Ge, are you alright..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped, his gaze passing over Lin Ge and noticing the mess inside the room. He froze instantly.
