Under the violent upheaval, he was forcibly "shaken loose" from deep within the gap between the storm and the gateway!
Whoosh...
His body, like a fallen leaf, was swept up by a violent stream of energy and flung out of the storm, crashing heavily into the shattered barrier zone where Qi Xiyuan was.
"This is..."
Qi Xiyuan instantly sensed a faint life aura appearing within the space around her.
She subconsciously turned her head to look.
Whoosh...
The next instant,
she froze completely.
In the distant ruins, a black-haired boy lay quietly there.
The boy's bare body was covered in dense wounds, his flesh mangled and bloody. From nearby, she could vaguely sense the chaotic currents within him caused by the storm's assault.
It seemed as though he might run out of strength and die at any moment.
Qi Xiyuan naturally knew this person all too well.
Tan Lin!
It was... Little Brother Tan Lin?
Because of certain events, he had already become one of the most important people in her life. No, after the Everlasting Joy incident, he might have surpassed even her aunt, who had never truly been by her side while she was growing up...
"Ah Lin?!"
After staring blankly for a moment, Qi Xiyuan cried out. Countless complicated emotions instantly surged across her stunning face.
At that moment, she was shocked, worried, and delighted all at once.
She was shocked because she could not understand why he had appeared here.
Could the two sudden upheavals from before have been connected to him?
Naturally, she was worried because he was covered in wounds and his aura was so weak.
As for her delight, it was because she was thankful that he was still alive—that he had survived the disaster and that she had found him...
Whoosh...
