When Qian Qizhou's power overwhelms his young body and Ei takes him through a spatial rift, Guang Ling urgently demands to know where she is taking him. 2 3

Search and Recovery

After Qian Qizhou disappears, Guang Ling leaves Spirit Hall and searches for him. He finds the injured, hungry child outside a forest cave, gives him food and water, and brings him to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect for treatment. 4 5

He remains concerned when Qian Qizhou collapses after revealing that he has a master, even though his pulse remains stable and his injuries continue healing. 5
