Tang Ren's eyelids trembled gently.
A moment later.
He struggled to open them a crack.
Seeing this, Bi Ji did not stop immediately.
Only after confirming that Tang Ren's life signs had fully stabilized did she slowly withdraw the rich life energy from her palm.
Once Bi Ji withdrew her hand, Wang Dong'er rushed forward.
"Uncle Tang, how are you feeling?"
Ever since Long Yaochen had taken Wang Dong'er away from the Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Ren had been responsible for keeping Wang Dong'er and the Clear Sky Sect in contact.
Only after things had settled down and he was sure Wang Dong'er was doing all right had Tang Ren reduced his visits to the occasional trip to check on her.
As such, Tang Ren had remained one of the Clear Sky Sect's representatives in dealings with the outside world.
Compared to the other members of the Clear Sky Sect, Wang Dong'er was considerably closer to Tang Ren.
Aside from Da Ming and Er Ming, of course.
"Y-young mistress."
Tang Ren's eyes still held the confusion of someone who had just awakened.
Then his eyes suddenly widened, and his still-weak voice abruptly grew urgent.
"Young mistress!"
"Whatever you do, don't go back to the Clear Sky Sect!"
"Uncle Tang, calm down."
Wang Dong'er hurriedly supported him.
"We're at Shrek Academy."
"Whatever happened, take your time and tell us."
Perhaps Wang Dong'er's words had worked.
Or perhaps he had finally come back to his senses.
His chest rose and fell continuously.
Only after a long while did his breathing gradually steady.
"Elder Tang Ren."
Long Yaochen approached from the side.
"What exactly happened?"
Having calmed down, Tang Ren opened his mouth.
But just as he was about to speak, his gaze suddenly landed on Zhang Lexuan and Bi Ji.
Zhang Lexuan
