Listening to the confird news from his brother, Ye Jiumu's eyes filled with pain and indignation, which quickly faded to a dull gray. He lay limp on the operating table, staring at the ceiling without speaking for a long ti. After a while, he shook his head helplessly and sighed: "There's no need to go through so much trouble. Even if you save after losing my abilities, I'd still be a useless person. If that's the case, it'd be better to let die, which would save a lot of...".
Pa! A loud slap interrupted Ye Jiumu's words. The one who slapped him was Ye Ruozai. He stepped forward, grabbing Ye Jiumu by the collar and shouted at his brother, who had turned his head aside in utter despair: "What are you talking about! Try saying that again! Look at the people in this room! Every single person here is working hard to save you!" As he spoke, he forcibly turned Ye Jiumu's head to face Pei Yan and shouted angrily, "Him! Your brother went to the origin within his body to seek help to save you. I don't know what agreent he reached with that entity to save you. Use that thick head of yours and think about it, then tell ! What price will he pay!"
Hearing this, Ye Jiumu looked up at Pei Yan, a complex look flashing in his eyes. Ye Ruozai continued to shout: "Even if you don't want to think about or your friends, at least think about Dad and Mom! They raised you this big, and you would let them spend the rest of their lives in pain and sadness? They love you the most! What if you really beco an ordinary person without abilities? Can you not live anymore? Haven't we all lived as ordinary people before? Aren't there millions of people in the world living like that!"
"I'm sorry, I was wrong! I shouldn't have said those things!" After being reprimanded by his brother, Ye Jiumu lay on the operating table dispiritedly. Although he said those words, he couldn't conceal the look of loss and decay in his eyes. Ye Ruozai didn't scold him further; instead, he let go of his hands and stealthily wiped away tears. He and everyone present could understand how Ye Jiumu felt at that mont. Had it been him, he probably wouldn't accept it, either. Suddenly losing abilities after becoming used to them is a blow not everyone can handle.
"Jiumu, calm down. Your brother is right, and moreover, you may not necessarily beco an ordinary person!" Pei Yan, seeing the opportunity was right, stepped forward to console him.
Ye Jiumu, hearing Pei Yan's words, brightened up and listened to Pei Yan continue: "After we deal with Vlad and your body recovers, Elder Lin will find a way to grant you new abilities! But it might not be the sa as your current powers."
"Really! It doesn't matter, as long as I can fight again, any power will do!" Ye Jiumu, upon hearing this, excitedly grasped Pei Yan's hand regardless of his physical condition.
"Pei Yan! Is this really possible?" Ye Ruozai asked anxiously, pulling his brother aside and looking at Pei Yan with concern. Ye Jiumu noticed his brother's expression, thought it over, and then looked at Pei Yan with a serious voice, "Will this cause you to pay a greater price? If it does, I'd rather be an ordinary person! Pei Yan, you've already sacrificed enough to save !"
"Hey, why talk like that! We're family; besides, Elder Lin inside isn't petty. She wouldn't keep making unreasonable demands! She's the kindest, most benevolent person! It was she who volunteered to restore your abilities!"
"Hmph!" After Pei Yan shalessly flattered, a disdainful hum emanated inside his mind, followed by Lin Junzhao's teasing voice: "Alright, save your bootlicking for later. If you had been this sensible earlier, you wouldn't have suffered so much. Quickly explain to him, there's no more ti to waste!"
Though the words were harsh, Pei Yan still detected a hint of satisfaction in them. He smiled and then his expression changed, his face serious as he looked at Ye Jiumu and solemnly said: "Jiumu, I won't say any more unnecessary words. The director and everyone have explained things clearly to you earlier! You just need to calmly accept the treatnt and sealing; leave the rest to us! Rest assured, I swear! I will make the Vlad Clan pay for every drop of blood! I won't let the old and young dogs off!"
"That's right! Jiumu, don't worry! We will definitely avenge our team! Blood will be repaid with blood!" Wang Wenze and Xia Yu stepped forward, gritting their teeth and making their stand.
Seeing this, Ye Jiumu nodded with relief and looked at Pei Yan, saying in a deep voice, "I know, and I believe you guys will do it. It's just a sha I can't fight side by side with you guys for now and avenge myself personally! I heard from the director that my two abilities can be separated and granted to others. Is that true?"
"Yes, you can choose whom to give them to!" Gu Shenghui, who was squeezed to the periphery, spoke up.
Ye Jiumu pondered for a mont, then looked at his elder brother and bitterly smiled: "Brother, you're already strong enough! In my heart, you've always been the strongest, so I won't leave these two gifts for you!"
Ye Ruozai, understanding, nodded to show he got the point. Then Ye Jiumu looked at Xia Yu and smiled slightly, "I'll give you the power of my cara. I know how strong you are more than anyone, but your domain isn't perfect yet. With the help of my power, I believe no one can escape from your iron fist!"
Waving his hand to stop Xia Yu, who wanted to speak, Ye Jiumu then looked at Pei Yan and said: "I'll give you my remaining power."
"?" Pei Yan was taken aback and hurriedly waved his hand: "No need, I already have a lot of powers!"
"I know, I know you have a lot of abilities and will probably have more in the future, but this one is my gift to you. You must have paid a great price to save , and I will never be able to repay that debt, so consider this power a small gratitude. Plus, I believe you are the most suitable person for it!" Ye Jiumu struggled to support his body, leaned his head against Pei Yan's ear, and whispered, "While I'm unconscious, please take care of Xia Yu for ! Don't let anything happen to her, please!"
"Rest assured, brother! When you wake up, I guarantee I'll return her to you, not a hair hard!" Pei Yan hugged Ye Jiumu, patting his back as he promised.
"Enough! Let's begin!" Having instructed everything, Ye Jiumu lay back on the operating table, closing his eyes in peace.
In the next mont, Lin Junzhao, who had once again taken control of Pei Yan's body, ordered everyone in the room to leave, except for herself and the two other origins, along with Xia Yu who would receive new abilities. Everyone else was driven out of the operating room.
The treatnt took over three hours. Those waiting outside the operating room did not sleep all night, enduring the long wait. Finally, around six o'clock in the morning, the doors of the operating room swung open, and Lin Ruxue along with a tall, thin man slowly walked out.
"How was it? Was it successful?" Cen Xiaoran hurriedly stepped forward and asked. Lin Ruxue waved her hand, pointing inside as she looked at Cen Xiaoran with deep aning and said, "Hmm, go in and see for yourself. I'm taking him away, and K and I need to go back to rest. You need to quickly get on with that matter; the ti left for you is running out."
"I understand!"
