Can’t see?
Next to the long cabinet where things were taken, yet the door not even closed, stood a shrouded lady holding a costic knife, her presence peculiarly harmonious with the scene.
In such a setting, Lady Ji Ning’s comnts on the attire undeniably grew more chilling upon deeper thought.
However, even so, the overly simple and crude explanation Mr. An Ke provided instinctively made people hesitant to believe.
Throughout the journey, Lady Ji Ning’s eyes may not have been captivating, but they were sharp and agile, showing no sign of abnormality.
Not to ntion, she accurately found another item, disregarding any visual impression.
Do you an to say that such efficiency, even surpassing the beginning, was accomplished by a blind leader?
This eerie contrast indeed challenges one’s nerves excessively.
The problem is, if not accepting this explanation, how can one interpret Lady Ji Ning’s behavior before and after this issue—
"When did you realize it?"
Fortunately, this confusion didn’t last long; Madam Ji Ning soon snapped out of her daze and stopped fiddling with the dagger.
Is this an admission?
Though the questioning tone was mild, it was undeniably shocking.
Even as she spoke, her eyes seed to beco stagnant, as if no longer intending to disguise.
"Initially, I just felt sothing unusual, not that certain."
Although supposedly aningless eyes, the reflections within, coupled with Lady Ji Ning’s aningful expression, exerted a peculiar pressure.
Yet Fu Qian neither retreated because of this nor felt complacent for practically confirming his suspicion, but calmly expressed his thoughts.
"I fully believe in your plan about the mark, including the talk of being twisted."
"And precisely because of that, as a person with abundant imagination, I naturally envisioned what it could be like after being twisted."
Fu Qian pointed at the clothes on Ji Ning, seemingly certain she could perceive this gesture.
"Knowing it’s there, yet having no sense of ordinary spatial concept; I must say, it’s a curious state, and the appearance of this garnt elevates that abstraction further."
"To the extent that a thought struck : if many things including position are aningless, then would eyes also beco an obstacle in searching?"
"What followed was fascinating. You put on the clothes and didn’t want to take them off, while your search efficiency greatly improved."
"Of course, this doesn’t prove anything. Initially, I thought perhaps this garnt gives you so unbelievable guidance, only transmitting abstract information to you."
"However, the way you found that second item made deeply feel as if vision wasn’t needed at all."
"Except for misjudging color, if your guidance didn’t precisely target a specific part of the cabinet, no one seeing such a huge item would proceed with that search sequence."
Fu Qian stepped forward and gently closed the cabinet door.
"And if you received such precise guidance, then eyesight seems unimportant in it."
"Of course, these are just inferences based on personal experience."
...
"In a dangerously filled predicant, you’re saying you’ve experienced giving up vision before?"
Lady Ji Ning, listening attentively to Fu Qian, was mainly intrigued by the last sentence, asking with interest.
"Though the duration wasn’t long, indeed I have."
Fu Qian straightforwardly satisfied this curiosity.
And the experience he ntioned naturally pertained to the exploration journey with the Sage and others under the Star Watchtower.
"Very well, I suddenly feel you might truly give it a try now."
Lady Ji Ning actually smiled. The elegantly dressed elder seed not to doubt the truth in Fu Qian’s words.
"You’re right, the mont I donned this garnt, I realized I lost my sight."
"Or put differently, sight twisted into another form; a different ’seeing’ replaced the eyes."
It truly is!
At that mont, Luyi seed ready to bolt for the exit.
Lady Ji Ning’s confirmation of Fu Qian’s speculation unquestionably made the scene increasingly surreal.
For instance, the previous actions were remarkably led by a blind person.
"But it doesn’t let you see colors?"
Yet Fu Qian’s prior academic spirit once again manifested.
Despite receiving confirmation, he remained unemotional and continued to delve deeper.
"Far from being such a clear concept."
Lady Ji Ning’s smile remained undiminished.
"More precisely, you will only see colors at the mont you need to see them; likewise with shapes, textures, and so on. You cannot choose, only passively accept."
"And among this multitudinous information is how to find traces, which I have verified to be correct."
"Of course, before verification, I didn’t want my eyes to trigger too many doubts affecting efficiency, hence chose to temporarily conceal it."
"Naturally, now it’s no longer necessary."
...
Such a fascinating way of ’seeing’.
Even though Lady Ji Ning ntioned having the qualification to attempt it, Fu Qian wasn’t particularly focused on the dagger.
Instead, what sparked his imagination was the description of distorted vision.
As for the reactions of others in the team, they didn’t seem too peculiar.
Luyi and Lord Aike couldn’t hide their shock, while Mr. Li Sr. appeared thoughtful, as if having similar musings himself.
This reaction to so extent again validated previous ideas.
Li He and Lady Ji Ning were quite familiar and likely noticed so strangeness long ago, rely without revealing it.
At this point, it seed like resolving previously held doubts.
"In any case, you’ve convinced ."
Unfortunately, there’s often not so much room for unbridled imagination.
Evidently disliking wasting ti, Lady Ji Ning instantly handed the dagger in her hand towards Fu Qian by the wooden cabinet.
"But no pressure needed, I’m very certain it also belongs to , even knowing it will bring new information, though it’s unclear why it won’t open, similar to not understanding why the colors are wrong."
"Try it anyway, you can even pass it to others afterward—"
Lady Ji Ning’s words abruptly ceased, "staring" at Fu Qian’s hands.
Amidst subtle friction, a slender, icy silver strand, rely the width of a finger, slipped out with ease.
