Feng Jue lowered his eyes, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
His aura turned cold again.
Rong Qing grew impatient and simply leaned in, grabbed his collar, and demanded in a deep voice, "Tell me quickly, what exactly happened to Niannian that made you use that forbidden technique that costs your body?"
The Feng family has been masters of magic for generations, and Feng Jue has inherited the Feng family's unique skills, including some forbidden techniques that can defy fate.
But those forbidden techniques that defy fate come at a price.
For someone like him, having only become physically disabled is already considered mild.
Even worse, some people lose their lives.
Feng would never use forbidden techniques unless absolutely necessary.
What exactly happened to Shi Nian without his knowledge?
Feng Jue remained silent.
But Rong Qing refused to give up until she got an answer.
In the end, Feng Jue could only say, "We... have already lost Nian Nian once."
"What do you mean?" Rong Qing pressed.
Feng Jue raised his eyelids and looked at Rong Qing.
His eyes were dark and exuded a sinister aura, like a black hole leading to hell, sending chills down one's spine.
But Rong Qing was not afraid of him.
Of the ten of them, everyone was afraid of Rong Qing.
Because I can't beat him...
"Let me up first. This is a strange situation," Feng Jue said slowly.
Rong Qing paused for a moment, glancing at the two people's current state; it was indeed a bit strange.
It's like playing Jenga...
He loosened his collar, got out of bed, and stood by the bedside looking at him.
Feng Jue also sat up.
He paused for a moment, then slowly said, "The current Niannian can be considered a rebirth... In her previous life, we couldn't find her."
Her situation, in common parlance, can be described as a rebirth.
But he simply turned back time, allowing her to return to ten years ago with her memories intact.
“In my past life, starting from the age of twenty, Niannian’s illness began to get out of control. We couldn’t find her and couldn’t help her with treatment, so we could only sacrifice our lives to her to prolong her life.”
"But even so, it only prolonged her life, it did not save her."
“I was the last one to be sacrificed for Niannian. For the previous nine years, I had been searching for her. I finally found her on the eve of the sacrifice, but at that time, I was powerless to help her.”
"Therefore, I can only cast a forbidden spell on her and then sacrifice myself to her."
Only by finding Shi Nian can they treat her and control her illness.
If left unchecked, her condition will only worsen.
The disease will not only devour her spirit, but will eventually devour her life.
But in their past lives, they couldn't find her. When they sensed that her vital signs were getting weaker and her mental state was deteriorating, they had no choice but to sacrifice their lives for her.
A person's life can be extended by one year.
This might also help her maintain some rationality and prevent her from completely losing control.
"How could this happen..." Rong Qing murmured in despair.
He never imagined that they had already failed once.
"What did Nian Nian experience in her past life?" Rong Qing asked in a hoarse voice, feeling extremely guilty and remorseful.
They were so useless; they couldn't even find Niannian in their previous life.
Feng Jue's eyes darkened, a chilling glint flashing within them. "When I found Niannian, she was living with Ye Chen, and he was the only person she knew..."
