At the sight, the corners of Fang Chen's mouth lifted slightly. He had thought Ye Qingci's eyes could never grow back, but now it seemed his worries had been unnecessary.
Still, Fang Chen knew that even though her eyes had grown back, they could not compare to her original Nirvana Immortal Eyes.
When I get the chance, I'll dig those Nirvana Immortal Eyes out of Ye Chen!
Fang Chen made the vow silently.
After crying in Ye Kong's arms for a while, Ye Qingci released him. Her eyes were red as she walked up to Fang Chen and stared at his face, momentarily lost in thought.
Her unwavering gaze left Fang Chen at a loss. He rubbed his nose and asked, "Miss Qing Ci, has a flower sprouted on my face?"
Ye Qingci looked at him, then suddenly dropped to her knees. "Young Master Fang Chen, thank you!"
"Miss Qing Ci, please don't!"
Fang Chen immediately took her by the shoulders and helped her up.
Ye Qingci looked at him with reddened eyes. "Young Master Fang Chen, I'm truly grateful. You not only rescued my brother and me, but you healed us too..."
Fang Chen cut her off at once. "Miss Qing Ci, say no more. It was the least I could do. You saved me too. As the ancients said, a drop of kindness must be repaid with a gushing spring—let alone the kindness of saving a life!"
Ye Qingci was still emotional, but Fang Chen's reassurance gradually calmed her.
She looked up at him and found him even more handsome than before. She could not help remembering when she had first seen him years ago in Glazed Ancient City, within the Glazed Sword Sect's trial grounds. He had lain unconscious in the street, covered in blood.
