How could this happen?
Feng Zhan watched Bu Ran's transformation. The shock in his eyes rooted him to the spot.
Bu Ran pushed Feng Zhan away.
"Brother, don't worry about me."
His deep blue eyes were now filled with pain.
A thin layer of frost began to form on the green robe of this handsome man.
"How could this be?"
"Bu Ran, let me help you to the hot spring first."
Inside the cave, there was a specially - built hot spring. Back then, Yan Ruyu had built it carefully to help Zhao Shuning recover from her injuries. Unexpectedly, it was going to be useful now.
When Feng Zhan helped Yan Ruyu into the hot spring, Yan Ruyu's face was already numb from the cold.
Feng Zhan had no choice but to put Yan Ruyu in the hot spring first, hoping that the warm water could ward off some of the cold for him.
The hot spring that was still steaming began to freeze at a visible speed after Yan Ruyu got in.
Feng Zhan was greatly shocked.
He quickly called Ting Bai and Mu Wan and told them to constantly use their spiritual power to transform into flames to melt the ice.
Yan Ruyu was completely immersed in the water.
His complexion became even paler.
Feng Zhan kept talking to him.
"Bu Ran, you're such a fool!"
You've borne so much on your own, yet you still act as if nothing has happened.
That Karma Red Lotus is your life - bound lotus. Why were you so selfless and give it to that little girl Zhao Shuning?
The climate on Qingyun Peak is already difficult for a spiritual pharmacist to withstand. Yan Ruyu lost his life - bound lotus and was also enraged today. All kinds of emotions in his mind suddenly burst out, making his body unable to bear it for a while.
Fortunately, the hot spring still had some effect.
The frost on Yan Ruyu's body began to slowly fade away.
However, his eyebrows and hair were as white as snow.
In such a posture, at first glance, he seemed even more unapproachable, lofty, and detached from the mortal world.
But Feng Zhan knew that Bu Ran had never been a showy person since childhood. Even if the greatest pain befell him, he never frowned.
Regarding this incident, although he only briefly described it, the huge change in his body told Feng Zhan that this incident had really hurt Bu Ran badly.
Ting Bai and Mu Wan were completely exhausted and sweating all over.
Feng Zhan looked at Yan Ruyu in the pool whose complexion had recovered a little. He let out a sigh of relief and then said, "I'll take him back to his place later. You two should take care of yourselves first."
"Okay. We'll leave the Emperor Venerable to you."
Feng Zhan got up, walked to Yan Ruyu's side, and picked him up.
Yan Ruyu, whose eyes had been closed tightly, finally slowly opened them.
"Bu Ran, how are you?"
"I'm fine."
Yan Ruyu gently pushed away Feng Zhan's hand and stood up.
But after walking a few steps, he gasped for breath and leaned against the rock to rest.
"Bu Ran."
Feng Zhan's eyes were full of worry.
Yan Ruyu gave him a smile in return.
"Brother, I'm really okay. Don't worry about me."
Feng Zhan let out a sigh of relief.
The smile on Yan Ruyu's face hadn't faded yet.
Suddenly, his expression tightened. Then he leaned forward and spat out a mouthful of filthy blood.
On his fair - skinned face with white hair and a green robe, there were spots of bloodstains.
Feng Zhan felt extremely sad. He quickly stepped forward to support Feng Bu Ran.
"You're still as stubborn as ever!"
Yan Ruyu smiled and didn't refuse anymore. He let Feng Zhan support him into the cave where he lived.
"Tomorrow, I'll take you down the mountain. We'll go to the palace of Qingyun Country and recuperate for a while."
"The Star Disk Formation."
"Even if the Star Disk Formation collapses, it has nothing to do with our Feng family. Bu Ran, if your life - bound lotus was still on you, I wouldn't say a single word against you staying on Qingyun Peak. But now the situation is different. You're not alone. You still have me. I, Feng Zhan, am your elder brother after all. Although my status here is not as high as yours, we are family. Just because of this, you have to listen to me!"
Yan Ruyu was silent for a long time.
Then he nodded.
When he was in charge of this plane, he was alone.
Later, there was Luo Qiu, then Su Mu.
And Ye Ling.
Yan Ruyu thought that his life would no longer be as dull as before. But then, the unfair fate took away the warmth that originally belonged to him.
"Brother, you go and rest first. I want to be alone for a while."
Feng Zhan was extremely tired, but at this moment, he didn't dare to leave Feng Bu Ran for a moment.
This younger brother, Bu Ran, ranked third in the Feng family. He was extremely talented and had been regarded as a god since childhood. No one had ever seen him sad about anything.
Now that Zhao Shuning had completely disappeared from the world, the blow to him should be more than just a little bit.
As if seeing through Feng Zhan's worry, Yan Ruyu said again, "I'm fine. Brother, you should rest well. After that, we'll go down the mountain together."
Feng Zhan was really tired.
But he was still worried about his silly younger brother who looked strong on the outside but was actually broken - hearted on the inside.
So, Feng Zhan fetched some bedding from elsewhere and made a makeshift bed on the floor beside Yan Ruyu's bed.
To avoid any accidents, he even held Bu Ran's hand. This scene looked really strange.
"A Zhan, Bu Ran."
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside the cave.
The two of them turned their heads at the same time.
It was Feng Lingtong.
After she heard what had happened on Qingyun Peak, she rushed back immediately. Qingyun Peak had been set up with a barrier by Yan Ruyu. Except for the people of the Feng family, Ting Bai, and Mu Wan, no one else could enter.
"Sister."
For some reason, when Feng Zhan saw Feng Lingtong, he suddenly felt his eyes getting a bit sore.
Yan Ruyu didn't say a word.
Just looking at his current appearance, not only would the world feel heart - ache, but even Feng Lingtong almost shed tears.
That was their younger brother Bu Ran. Just like his name, he never got involved in the worldly desires and was very strict with himself. He had never done anything wrong. Why did God treat him like this?
"Bu Ran—"
Feng Lingtong stepped closer.
Yan Ruyu forced a smile.
It felt so good to have family around.
But at this moment, Yan Ruyu's inner defense was on the verge of collapse.
Feng Lingtong sat on the stone stool beside Bu Ran's bed. She raised her slender hand and gently stroked Yan Ruyu's already snow - white long hair with a slight tremble.
Every bit of longing turns into white snow.
Bu Ran was actually so into that girl!
"Sister, I'm okay—"
Bu Ran spoke. His voice was no longer as deep and magnetic as before. It was just hoarse.
"It's okay. You go to sleep. Sister and brother are both by your side."
Bu Ran lay back on the bed and gently closed his eyes.
A tear slid down the corner of his eye again.
