Chapter 187: The Scene
Outside the palace.
Huang Rongyu walked slowly toward Lingfeng Academy, his usually gentle and handsome face now covered with frost.
Xiao Fei...
He stopped and took a deep breath, his hands gripping his sleeves tightly, as if he had used up all his strength.
His mind kept replaying the girl's every smile and frown, and a mixture of pleasure and struggle flashed in his eyes.
He admired her and was willing to protect her, but little did he know that this feeling had already silently transformed into another kind of unspeakable pain.
The thought of the boy named "Li" standing beside her sent a sharp pain through Huang Rongyu's brain.
"Hmm..."
The boy clutched his head in unbearable pain, strange images flashing before his eyes—
Above the clouds, a man clad in flowing golden armor faced another man in black robes. Their faces seemed deliberately blurred, making them unrecognizable.
In the blink of an eye, the man in golden soft armor, wielding a longsword that radiated a holy light, plunged it fiercely into the chest of the man in black.
He himself was also slapped by the man in black, several sharp silver threads piercing his body, blood splattering all over the ground, staining each other's clothes red.
Huang Rongyu's eyes glazed over. Just as she was about to delve deeper into those images, everything went black before her eyes, and she collapsed to the ground, completely losing consciousness.
...
When Huang Rongyu opened her eyes, she found herself in her dormitory.
What's wrong with him?
Huang Rongyu rubbed her throbbing temples and slowly sat up. Just then, Mu Jingshen, dressed in black, walked into the dormitory.
When Mu Jingshen saw that Huang Rongyu had woken up, he put down his sword, walked to the bedside, and asked him, "How are you?"
"What happened before I fainted?" Huang Rongyu looked up at him.
"When the Grand Elder saw that you hadn't returned for a long time, he ordered me to go to the palace to find you." Mu Jingshen poured him a cup of warm water and said calmly, "On the way to the palace, I found you lying on the ground unconscious, so I carried you back to the academy."
Huang Rongyu tried hard to recall what happened when he fainted. It seemed like he suddenly had a headache, and then...
"The Grand Elder has examined you; there are no external injuries or signs of poisoning." Mu Jingshen handed him a teacup. "What happened?"
Huang Rongyu took the teacup, paused, and replied, "Perhaps it's because I'm too tired."
Seeing that he had lowered his eyes and seemed unwilling to continue, Mu Jingshen stopped asking about it and said, "It's good that you're alright."
Huang Rongyu turned to look at him: "Is your injury alright?"
"Yes, it's nothing." Mu Jingshen nodded, then paused and added, "Actually, she... didn't hurt me very badly."
"Nonsense, I saw you cough up blood after being hit by Xiao Fei." Huang Rongyu chuckled as she exposed him. Mentioning that nickname, his tense nerves gradually relaxed. "Are you satisfied with our team leader?"
Mu Jingshen: "..."
Mu Jingshen: "She is very strong and should not be underestimated."
"It's rare to see you actually compliment someone." Huang Rongyu drank some water, put the teacup aside, and lay down again. "I'm still a little tired. Jing Shen, please tell the Grand Elder that I want to sleep a little longer."
Mu Jingshen wanted to ask him more about the training team, but seeing his tired expression, he nodded and said, "Okay, you can go to sleep."
Mu Jingshen turned and left the dormitory.
Huang Rongyu lay on the bed with her eyes closed, her mind a complete blank.
Why... does he see those strange images?
