Shang Yanting suddenly stopped, and the room remained quiet for a long time.

"My eyes aren't better yet, are they?"

His voice was soft, but it made Jia Xitong feel very uncomfortable.

"……Um."

She nuzzled his face with her head and said, "I'm sorry."

"No need to apologize, you've never apologized to me."

Shang Yanting hugged the raccoon and slowly moved back to the bedside. "Go to sleep, it's okay."

It would be strange if nothing happened.

Jia Xitong pressed herself against his chest and remained quiet for a long time.

Inside the room, the flickering candlelight grew dimmer and dimmer.

The candle wax rolled slowly and silently down the candle, while the shouts, laughter, and toasts from the guests outside seemed to belong to a different world from the one inside.

After an unknown amount of time, Jia Xitong suddenly said, "Host, let's go back tomorrow!"

"Um?"

"Let's find a solution together with our fellow disciples in the mountains!"

Jia Xitong rallied and said, "I still have a lot of money. I can help you hire the best doctors. We can try whatever we can."

She sat up and started applying lotion to his face, patting it on professionally. "The Aotian Continent is so big, it can definitely heal you!"

Shang Yanting suddenly sat up and pulled her into his arms.

"Host, dear?"

Jia Xitong tilted her head slightly.

"Don't move, let me hug you."

He bent down and kissed the raccoon on the head.

It was this system of unknown origin that gave him and protected all his emotions.

##

Shang Yanting piloted the Water Cloud Boat, while Jia Xitong directed the route.

With their cooperation, they returned to Holy Capital Academy in just half a day.

As soon as we arrived at the entrance of Qing Shuang Peak, our senior brothers came to greet us.

"Junior brother!"

"Small bucket!"

"His departure for a month without a word worried his senior brothers to death."

It was obvious that everyone knew from the eldest brother that Jia Xitong had been in trouble, and they all picked up Jia Xitong and passed her around to make sure that she was safe and sound.

"I have to say, Junior Brother Yan, can't you discuss what happened with everyone? We're your own senior brothers..."

The senior disciple, putting on airs, began to criticize Shang Yanting, but stopped halfway through his sentence, "Junior brother, what's wrong with your eyes?!"

Normal eyes and blind eyes can be distinguished at a glance.

The bucket is finished, but my junior brother has run into trouble again.

The eldest disciple frowned, slapped his thigh, and said, "Stop arguing! Help Junior Brother Yan into the house, and quickly find the Peak Master and the most skilled physician in the academy!"

As the dean's personally taught disciple, Shang Yanting was qualified to have all the physicians in the academy come and see him.

Until the last, older doctor removed the silver needles from Shang Yanting's head, he shook his head slightly and said, "Peak Master, Dean, Yan Qing's blindness came about strangely, and I am powerless to help."

"Thank you, senior."

Having experienced what happened yesterday, Shang Yanting wasn't as upset by these words now.

Jia Xitong also started thinking of new solutions.

If relying on doctors doesn't work, then you can try some unconventional methods.

If talismans made from the Wuding Silver Fish and Wuding Secret Herb could heal Shang Yanting's hands and legs, could the Zhuyou talisman cure his blindness?

Not knowing if this method would work, she specifically consulted the real system.

Theoretically speaking, if the tasker uses the Exquisite Lotus as ink and the Spirit Grass as paper to create a high-grade incantation talisman, it can cure the male protagonist's eye ailment.

There actually was a chance!

Jia Xitong wrote it down.

"By the way, why are you being so nice today?"

She asked it casually.

[The system serves all events that increase the male protagonist's good/evil stat and alter the ending.]

oh.

The true system never treated Shang Yanting as an independent, objectively existing individual; it only considered him as a task entity.

Thinking of this, she stopped paying attention to it.

It's still uncertain who will be the background character.

##

There were a lot of people coming to see Shang Yanting, and Jia Xitong only told him the news after everyone else had left.

"So all you need to do is find the Exquisite Lotus and the Spirit Grass, and your eyes will be cured!"

However, the Linglong Lotus and the Lingxu Grass are not things that can be found everywhere.

Jia Xitong mobilized all the senior brothers of Qingshuang Peak and Liang Ting of Wanbaoge at the foot of the mountain, but all of them came up empty-handed.

Not only that, everyone also became aware that Shang Yanting had gone blind and his cultivation level had declined.

The merchant's entire clan was killed overnight;

Yan Qing lost his sight and became blind.

Both of the dean's personal disciples suffered tragic accidents, and Luan Zhenfeng's title as a disciple is in jeopardy.

Until this day, after spending a great deal of manpower and resources, Liang Ting finally found traces of Linglong Lotus.

“Young Master Yan, we have received news in Rongcheng that a prominent local family possesses a collection of exquisite lotus flowers.”

Liang Ting glanced at Shang Yanting's gray eyes.

Shang Yanting happened to return after the Shang family was wiped out. He dared not speculate too much about the relationship between the two, but continued, "This family is arrogant and proud. We have said many times that we want to buy this item at a high price, but we have not been able to persuade them."

Since Wanbaoge helped find the medicine, they obviously wanted to bring it back and keep the favor for themselves. Unfortunately, seeing that he was just a mortal, they kicked him out several times.

"This family is called Lüqiu. They are skilled in crafting artifacts and are a prominent local family. The person in charge is named Lüqiu Zheng, who is now at the late stage of Martial Spirit cultivation."

He has a son and a daughter, both of whom are of average talent and have repeatedly failed to gain admission to the Holy Capital Academy.

"Young Master Yan, being a disciple personally instructed by the Dean, might have a better chance of obtaining it."

Thank you.

Upon learning of Linglong Lian's whereabouts, Shang Yanting nodded slightly.

"The journey from Shengdu Academy to Rongcheng is long, so Young Master Yan can travel with the Wanbaoge caravan."
