朴秀英's hand slowly moved away from Ye Zhongming's eyes. She let out a faint sigh and stood up to throw away the two white paper pieces she had removed from his eyes.
Turning around, she saw the questioning gazes of Xia Lei, Liang Chuyin, and the others, and shook her head.
Disappointment appeared in everyone’s eyes.
Ye Zhongming had been back for many days, but his eyes had not fully recovered.
Now, while he could open them, he could only see faintly and could not return to his previous clear state.
During this phase, everyone at Cloud Summit had tried every possible method. Various potentially useful equipment, potions, professionals, scrolls, and more had been gathered and tested one by one. As a result, when Ye Zhongming showed slight improvement, everyone was unsure if it was due to his natural recovery ability or the methods they had attempted.
“It's nothing. Look, I can see, can’t I? Just look at all of your expressions.”
Although Ye Zhongming still couldn’t see clearly, the earth yellow pill was right beside him. He could 'see' through his battle beast, which was linked to his will, and by now, he had gotten used to sensing his surroundings through other means, with improvements in his hearing, smell, and touch.
“You just love to put on a brave front!” Xia Lei retorted angrily, showing that she was genuinely anxious. When Ye Zhongming returned with his invisible eyes to Cloud Summit Villa, this big sister had been so furious that she didn't care about overstepping her bounds, calling in the avoidance members to scold them, and many present could see the murderous intent in Xia Lei’s eyes.
No one doubted that if Ye Zhongming were to truly lose his sight, Xia Lei, who already leaned towards darkness, would kill without restraint to vent her anger.
She deeply resented the avoidance members for blindly obeying Ye Zhongming's orders, allowing the King of Cloud Summit to face dangers alone.
“I have the beautiful celestial body; I won’t be in any trouble. Given some time, I will fully recover.”
Ye Zhongming's reassurance was partly for comfort, but he indeed had confidence in his body. Now that he could see vague shapes, he didn’t think it was because of the treatments Xia Lei and the others found; it was likely due to his extraordinary recovery ability.
“I don’t know if the beautiful celestial body can help you recover, but I do know you were hurt by someone named A Xiu.”
Xia Lei had previously suggested directly handing over A Xiu to the divine hall, but Ye Zhongming had stopped her. This left the big sister with resentment; although she understood the reasons given by her man and agreed with the director’s leniency, she still didn’t want to let A Xiu off the hook.
As the big sister of Cloud Summit, she was naturally the decision-maker in Ye Zhongming’s absence, but she was also a woman. When someone she loved was harmed, that maternal instinct would completely explode, like a mother cat with its kittens, disregarding all reason and even displaying more madness than men.
“Let’s talk about the boxes.” Ye Zhongming knew his woman was just venting and didn’t mind. He gestured towards Guangyao.
“After we received the news, we began dispatching people to search. So far, the information we can gather indicates that there are a total of up to five thousand boxes within the national district. Of course, this definitely won’t be all; it might not even be a third of the total, but these five thousand are confirmed.”
Ye Zhongming nodded, encouraging him to continue.
“At first, it was rumored that the boxes contained non-roulette items, but that was incorrect. There are indeed roulette items inside, accounting for at least half. However, it’s strange that the roulette items are concentrated in categories like professional scrolls, skill scrolls, Bloodline Crystals, and functional cards, with no equipment at all.”
“I compiled a list of the items in the boxes that I could learn about, detailing what’s inside. Sister Lei will give it to you; if Zhong Ming wants to hear, you can read it to him.”
