"Why would an ability someone had seen disappear?"
Li Yan unconsciously bit his finger.
"Then..."
"Would someone with the ability know when it disappeared?"
"Would there be any signs when it disappeared?"
Li Yan looked at Zhuge Yun and the others.
In the end, his gaze settled on Master Xiao.
"No."
Xiao Xiao shook his head. "There wouldn't."
So it wasn't unheard of for people to think a monster had left them, when in fact it had stayed by their side all along... only the person could no longer see it...
Li Yan opened his mouth.
He took a deep breath.
Then he reached out and pinched his cheek.
Hiss~
Li Yan sucked in a sharp breath.
It hurt.
Even though it hurt, Li Yan still felt a little light-headed.
His mind felt like a lump of paste.
He raised a hand and pressed hard against his forehead.
"Have some water."
Zhao Luzheng handed Li Yan a cup of hot water.
"Gulp, gulp~"
After a brief pause, Li Yan took the cup and gulped down the water.
"Cough, cough~"
He drank too fast and started choking.
Li Yan coughed loudly as he wiped the water from the corner of his mouth.
"Are you okay?"
Zhuge Yun immediately pulled out a few tissues and handed them to Li Yan.
"Why are you drinking so fast?"
"Take it slow."
Li Yan couldn't spare a moment to answer Zhuge Yun.
He kept coughing for a while, his face turning bright red, before finally slowing down.
Li Yan wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue.
Then he slowly let out a breath.
"Are you okay now?"
Zhuge Yun watched Li Yan's expression.
"...I'm okay now."
Li Yan gave a bitter smile.
