Du Zheng sat on the edge of the bed, his mind in turmoil after Mei Chengyu broke the seal of Famous Family Blessing. He kept recalling things from his childhood. His memories and understanding clashed, twisting his face into a grimace.
Mei Chengyu asked him many questions, and Du Zheng answered them all.
Suddenly, Du Zheng dropped to his knees and kowtowed to Mei Chengyu. "Please, help my sister and me get out of here!"
Mei Chengyu stared at the stone wall and replied casually, "We'll see."
Du Zheng was speechless.
He'd thought he'd found a righteous hero who'd save his life, but it turned out the passerby's sense of justice wasn't all that strong.
Du Zheng gritted his teeth. "I'll tell you anything you want to know!"
"Even if you leave here, your eye condition will still be a problem," Mei Chengyu said. "Didn't you say you can't see anything when you go up there?"
There was no direct sunlight in the Underground City, and no blinding snowstorms. Flames lit the place everywhere.
"Earlier, we saw a caravan bringing goods down through the entrance. When we looked up through it, all we could see was a vast expanse of white, so we assumed we couldn't see anything," Du Zheng said. "Before I got my memories back, I didn't know that what I'd seen was called 'snow.'"
The children who came out of the Black Water Pool had their memories sealed by Famous Family Blessing. In the Underground City, it was as if they'd been reborn, and their understanding and ideas had become completely different from those of ordinary people.
They treated their eye condition as a calamity and devoutly offered incense to the people in the royal city, hoping their masters would save them.
