"Phew~"
Yu Zhengqing clutched his forehead and slowly came to.
He raised his head to find himself slumped over a desk.
Yun Ling sat before him, watching quietly with a faintly gentle smile.
What just happened?
Yu Zhengqing frowned.
He only remembered pushing open the door, sitting down here, and then losing all memory.
For some reason, Yun Ling before him felt strangely familiar—his features even seemed rather delicate and handsome, making one want to lean closer...
Yu Zhengqing's heart jolted.
Oh no, since when did I swing that way?!
"Brother Yu."
Yun Ling poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.
"You can use the method I just told you on the other members of the Yu Family as well. Remember, do it one by one. Don't spread it around."
"Just now? Just now—oh, right, right, right."
Only then did Yu Zhengqing "remember" what had happened. The confusion on his face turned into fervent gratitude.
"Good brother, no words can repay such a great favor. I'll head back at once and let—"
"Ah, wait."
Yun Ling raised a hand to interrupt him and made a "shut up" gesture.
Yu Zhengqing understood instantly and nodded repeatedly.
As if to hide his embarrassment, he lifted the teacup, drained the scarlet liquid in one gulp, then rose and headed outside.
"See you around!"
Yun Ling remained seated as he watched him leave, the corners of his lips curling slightly.
To so easily control an Awakened of the same tier as himself was something he had never dared imagine before.
Unification, Separation... the power bestowed by that being had granted him an ability nearly comparable to [Formless].
But the number of uses was limited. If he wanted to stack them, he had to complete missions and obtain new blessings.
