Chapter 965 - Regaining His Vision
As they made their way towards the Zheng Family, White Lotus couldn't help but stare at Yuan's handsome face and beautiful crimson eyes that resembled jewels.
"Yuan… Your eyes… What happened?" She couldn't resist her urge to ask him.
"I'm not really sure. After seeing Meixiu getting hurt from the assault, I felt something being 'released' within me, and before I knew it, I regained my vision."
"Huh? So you're no longer blind?" White Lotus muttered in a dumbfounded voice.
"For now. Who knows how long this would last. Maybe I'll return to being blind after a few hours."
Yuan turned to look at White Lotus' beautiful face and pale complexion.
"Even though I can see the world clearer and in more details with divine sense, there is just something unique about viewing the world with my eyes." He said with a smile.
"It's unfortunate that I had regained my vision during this time when I am unable to enjoy it." His smile quickly turned bitter.
White Lotus suddenly lowered her head and tightened her hold around his neck.
"My life flashed before my eyes earlier today. I have never had such a close near-death experience before— not even in Cultivation Online."
"Honestly, I've been in worse situations. However, I have never felt scared in those situations. It was different today. I was terrified, but not for myself. I was scared that I would lose one of you, and it was a close call. The bullet that grazed Meixiu could've killed any of us. Fortunately, that did not happen."
"You really care about Meixiu and Chu Liuxiang. I'm envious." White Lotus suddenly sighed.
"I care about you too, you know?" He said, taking her by surprise.
"Really? Even though we've just met each other?"
"Of course." He nodded.
"Thank you…" White Lotus mumbled as she lowered her head even more to prevent Yuan from seeing the expression on her face.
About half an hour later, White Lotus pointed at the large mansion located at the horizon and said, "Over there. That's our destination."
Yuan nodded and flew directly towards the mansion.
Once they landed near the mansion, Yuan stepped in front of White Lotus and said, "Stay behind me no matter what."
"Okay." She nodded.
Yuan summoned both Empyrean Overlord and Starry Abyss before approaching the mansion.
There were guards pacing around the mansion, and all of them were carrying fully loaded assault rifles.
"Are they usually this tight with security? Not even banks are this heavily guarded." Yuan asked her.
"No, this isn't normal." White Lotus shook her head.
"Then they must be really afraid of something." Yuan smiled.
"Follow me."
He walked out of the shadows with White Lotus behind him.
"HALT!"
The guards there immediately noticed him and pointed their guns at his direction without any hesitation.
"Identify yourself! What are you doing here?!"
"Let me handle this." White Lotus said.
"I'm Bai Lianhua! We're here to speak with Zheng Weimin!"
The guards recognized her name and face.
