He knew that Xue Yuning was unconscious because she had absorbed too much Star Miasma power, and her body was overloaded and needed recuperation.
On the other hand, it was because his divine sense was too forceful in dispelling the evil thoughts that wanted to control her, causing her consciousness to be shaken and resulting in a brief fainting spell.
However, none of this mattered. As everyone spoke, Su Bai silently withdrew the divine sense he had used to heal Xue Yuning.
I reckon she'll wake up soon.

Sure enough, shortly after Su Bai finished speaking, the door of the treatment pod opened from the inside.
The group of people from the Ten Sides, who had been wailing and expressing their true feelings, all turned to look at Xue Yuning, who was sitting up in the treatment pod, with their faces covered in grime. They couldn't help but rush over to her, saying, "Boss, it's so good that you're alright!!"
"You really scared me to death!"
"That's right, that's right! Do you know how worried we were when we heard the news that you had collapsed right after we won the game?!"
"Don't push yourself so hard next time. You're only a fourth-star Hengtian expert, why are you trying to compete with a sixth-star Hengtian expert!"
"Do you remember how you taught us?! We're intelligence agents, there's no need to confront people head-on, understand?!"
After the initial joy, and perhaps out of a desire to settle a personal score, Shi Mian seized the opportunity to return all of Xue Yuning's past teachings to them.
Even knowing that they were taking the opportunity to retaliate, Xue Yuning still maintained a smile on her face.
Because this was the warmth and care she hadn't felt in a long time, she enjoyed it all.
Su Bai and Zhou Qianling watched them silently from the side, a touch of tenderness in their eyes.
In the end, it was the first person to notice that Xue Yuning's gaze kept sweeping towards Su Bai and the other person behind her while she was talking to them. She then gave everyone a knowing look and said, "Ahem, it's getting late. Let's leave this place to the boss and the alliance leader. Let's go out first."
"Why..." Liu Mian, who was about to ask why, was immediately covered by everyone and forcibly dragged out of the treatment room.
"Pfft~~ Yu Ning, your subordinates are really interesting. How about I give you two some space too?" Seeing Shi Mian's disheveled appearance, Zhou Qianling couldn't help but laugh out loud. Then she looked at Xue Yu Ning and Su Bai and pretended to leave.
She wasn't jealous; she genuinely wanted to give them some space. After all, she didn't know Xue Yuning's specific situation, but she felt that this reunion after life and death was even more touching.
In the end, Xue Yuning grabbed her hand first and tapped her nose: "What are you saying? We're all family!"
“That’s right!” Zhou Qianling smiled even more happily upon hearing this.
Su Bai: "..."
Seeing the two women like this, Su Bai felt that he was a bit superfluous. However, after thinking about it again, he realized that he would benefit anyway, so he put aside his petty attitude, slowly stepped forward, squeezed between the two women, and then smiled and said, "That's right, we're all family."
"Alright, you still haven't told me what that golden light is all about? I can feel your presence on it!" Blushing, Xue Yuning slapped Su Bai's mischievous hand away before finally remembering the important matter.
“It’s nothing. You know your talent is somewhat special. I was worried that something might happen to you because of it, so I left you a safety net. Fortunately, otherwise, this time…” Su Bai didn’t finish his sentence. He believed Xue Yuning would understand.
After hearing Su Bai's words, Xue Yuning silently lowered her head: "I understand, I won't show off next time."
Under normal circumstances, she wouldn't have been so easily bewitched by that bit of star miasma.
However, she was in the middle of a battle, and her attention was focused on the fight. It's normal for her to be attacked if she recklessly devours the star miasma at this time.
