The barge of energy covered the entire dormitory and everything was obscured. Those standing at the moment were like they were standing in a thick and dim grey mist, unable to see any other objects apart from each other.

Yu Ning’s position was the centre of the energy convergence. The two giant pythons locked his front and back, while before him was the blood red ring that had turned into a chain that struggled to protect him.

Although the blood-red ring was good at attacking, it was still much weaker than the mysterious item in the hands of the Ding couple.

What’s more, Yu Ning had also split the Blood red ring into two. Half of it was on Ji Mingxia to protect him, leaving Yu Ning with the other half.

Although the red light was scarlet and eye-catching, it was like the light of a glowing fire in the darkness of the night when compared to the giant pythons, it was insignificant.

At that moment, Yu Ning stretched out his hand into the darkness.

His skin was so pale that it was almost transparent, and his fingers were straight and slender. When he put them into the darkness, not only were they not swallowed up, but they seemed to be coated with a faint luminescence.

The chain suspended in front of him sensed Yu Ning’s summons and turned into a stream of light, flying back to Yu Ning’s hand and changing back into the form of a ring.

Yu Ning snapped his fingers together and slowly withdrew his hand.

The grey light that surrounded him also reversed and surged at this moment.

Like fine quicksand, it surged towards Yu Ning little by little, gradually breaking away from the control of the Ding couple.

Father Ding’s expression changed as he gripped the mysterious item in his hand, wanting to try and stop Yu Ning’s actions.

However, the grey light around him, including the giant python that was hovering in the air, all seemed to be isolated, not obeying his commands at all.

The grey light came from his body, and the python was an energy mimic of his and Mother Ding. Father Ding manipulated and commanded them as if he were directing his own hands and feet, and there had never been a mistake.

However, for just a brief moment, he was unable to use the energy in the mysterious items?

Father Ding lowered his head in disbelief, and immediately cut his hand to draw out blood to catalyse it.

The grey light did not change in the slightest, but the two giant pythons that were originally targeting Yu Ning suddenly twitched at this moment.

Father Ding saw the pythons react and was delighted. The corners of his mouth had just risen when, in the next instant, Mother Ding suddenly stretched out her hand and pulled him to the side: “Be careful!”

Mother Ding’s words had just fallen when the giant pythons suddenly turned their heads and attacked Father Ding without warning.

The two pythons weaved through the air, brushing against the hem of Father Ding’s coat and roaring past. If Mother Ding had not pulled him, Father Ding would have been attacked at that moment.

Father Ding fell to the side in a mess, he stared at the uncontrollable pythons with wide eyes and said in shock, “How is this possible ……”

This was the energy emanating from his body, and not only was it uncontrollable, it even turned its head and attacked its master?

Mother Ding, on the other hand, stared at Yu Ning's hand. She noticed that although Yu Ning had put the ring back on, his palm was slightly turned upwards, and he seemed to be holding some kind of transparent object. Mother Ding gritted her teeth and said, “He has a mysterious item in his full control, and he cultivated it into a spiritual weapon. Moreover, the grade is much, much higher than ours…”

“Impossible! All the things he has would have been exposed by the Institute when he went to the capital. And even if he did have it, there is no way to cultivate a spiritual weapon given his physique. We purposely adjusted his physique when he was born. Something like him that is best suited as a vessel to heal those who have faced backlash, something like a natural medicine man, how could he have such outstanding control?” Father Ding exclaimed incredulously.

Ji Mingxia heard his words and could not wait to rush up and kick him.

Even though he didn’t understand much about spiritual weapons, Ji Mingxia could tell  that Father Ding didn’t consider Yu Ning a living person at all!

However, Yu Ning on the opposite side started moving a little faster.

Although Mother Ding had pulled Father Ding away in time to escape, both of them had fallen to the ground in unison, with no way to retreat.

Having lost their control of the mysterious item, they were nothing more than an ordinary middle-aged couple.

Although the first blow from the python fell short, a second one soon followed.

In an instant, Father Ding and mother were wrapped in a grey mist and pulled into the chaotic darkness.

This was a tactic they had used against Yu Ning, but it was now being used against them.

In less than ten seconds, several miserable cries came out of the grey mist, followed by several ancient objects that flew out of the couple and floated in front of Yu Ning.

Ji Mingxia took a closer look and saw hairpins, jade pendants, copper sticks ……dozens of mysterious items of various colours were arranged in a row.

It was Ji Mingxia’s first time to see so many mysterious items appear together. He recalled the original novel's content; Pei Yuan was busy throughout most of the book, he collected mysterious items but they weren’t close to the amount this Ding couple had.

When the mysterious items fell into Yu Ning’s hands, the scene around them gradually changed.

The giant pythons crawled out away from the Ding couple and burrowed into one of the mysterious items.

The grey mist gradually dissipated, and the original appearance of their surroundings was restored.

Ji Mingxia thought they would be back inside the dormitory, but he found that they were not in the dormitory, but an empty void.

No matter which direction he looked, whether up, down, left or right, it was empty, and there was no trace of the school.

The Ding couple had already passed out, and Ye Chen had also not woken up from the time he fell to the ground.

Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning in shock: “Yu Ning, where are we ……”

“The bronze mirror.” At Yu Ning’s words, the scene around him was like liquid, with layers of water ripples gradually appearing.

The ripples grew larger and larger, and the layers turned into folds before eventually turning into a stream of light that coalesced in Yu Ning’s hand and took the form of a bronze mirror.

With the appearance of the bronze mirror, the void disappeared like a curtain being lifted, revealing the dormitory hidden behind it.

When Yu Ning had completely retrieved the bronze mirror, Ji Mingxia Yu Ning, and everyone else, were back inside the dormitory again.

The dormitory door was still closed and all the items around were neat and tidy, completely unaffected by the battle just now.

The anxious discussions of the students outside the door could be heard vaguely.

Ji Mingxia looked around, then looked at the bronze mirror in Yu Ning’s hand, and it dawned on him: “So we were inside the illusion of the bronze mirror just now? The moment the dormitory door closed, they launched an attack, and you also used the bronze mirror at the same time?”

No wonder Ji Mingxia felt like the dormitory had become empty and big when the door closed, so it was not his illusion.

Ji Mingxia said, “You had set up the illusion a long time ago, as long as anyone entered this door, they would be pulled into the bronze mirror. Although this Ding couple is powerful, they were all in the mirror and the attacks they launched were illusions no matter how strong they were, that’s why you were able to turn defeat into victory.”

Ji Mingxia suddenly thought of the two giant pythons and the numerous mysterious items that floated out of the Ding family couple and felt excited.

He looked at Yu Ning in admiration and said, “Fortunately, you were prepared for this, Yu Ning. You’re really amazing!”

Although Yu Ning’s face was still a little pale at the moment, he had dealt with the Ding couple by himself and also collected numerous mysterious items in one breath.

Seeing Ji Mingxia looking at him with bright eyes, Yu Ning turned his face away, refusing to meet Ji Mingxia’s gaze.

Ji Mingxia froze for a moment: “What’s wrong?”

“Give me two minutes.” Yu Ning whispered as he avoided Ji Mingxia.

“Why?” Ji Mingxia looked at him inexplicably, seeing that Yu Ning was still avoiding his gaze, Ji Mingxia came forward and looked at him nervously, “Are you hurt, where are you uncomfortable? Did they hurt you just now?”

As soon as Yu Ning turned his head, he saw Ji Mingxia before him and he hastily used his hand to shield his eyes and whispered, “It will take a while for my eyes to turn black.”

Ji Mingxia was stunned for a while before he understood what Yu Ning meant.

When he used to have one eye that was grey, everyone shunned him.

Later, he returned after the trip to the capital with both pupils black. 

Many people thought that Yu Ning was wearing contacts, while Ji Mingxia thought that Yu Ning had received treatment.

It wasn’t until this moment that Ji Mingxia noticed Yu Ning’s eyes would change colour when he used energy from mysterious items.

In other words, the real colour of his eyes was grey, and he was just deliberately hiding himself, making himself look like an ordinary person.

So, was Yu Ning avoiding him because he was worried? Worried that he would be frightened by his appearance?

Ji Mingxia couldn’t help but remember how he had deliberately avoided Yu Ning when he first met him a long time ago.

Afterwards, he had always tried to find a chance to explain to Yu Ning, but never found the right moment.

When they reunited again, Yu Ning was already the popular male god of the school, so Ji Mingxia felt that there was no need to explain.

He thought that Yu Ning had already been healed by the overwhelming adoration of his fans and the countless accolades from the outside world.

Only now did he realise that the damage was still there.

These eyes had always been like thorns in Yu Ning’s heart.

Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia did not hesitate to grab Yu Ning’s hand off and said, “No need to hide, I’m not afraid.”

With Ji Mingxia right in front of him, Yu Ning could not hide, but could only look at Ji Mingxia with panic.

Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning and said seriously, “ I didn’t know you well in the past, so I was indeed a bit scared when I saw you. But that was also because I didn’t know if getting close to you would lead to bad results. But it’s different now ah, we’ve gotten to know each other so well, do you think I can’t accept you the way you really are?”

He thought of the way Yu Ning had set him up when Ye Chen picked them up to visit Ye Tian not long ago.

Through his drunken confusion, he had agreed to pretend to be Yu Ning’s boyfriend, only for Yu Ning not to mention a word about it afterwards and leaving him to think he had a sweet dream.

It was only when they were about to meet Ye Chen that Yu Ning suddenly asked Ji Mingxia to start acting, catching him off guard.

Although he was flustered and confused at the time, Yu Ning really fooled Ye Chen.

Thinking of this, he laughed and imitated Yu Ning’s tone and said with a smile, “We’ve already kissed, are you saying you don’t want to take responsibility, huh?”

After saying this, Ji Mingxia stood on tiptoe and gave Yu Ning a quick kiss on the corner of his mouth.

Yu Ning was dumbfounded, his mercury-like grey eyes widening as he stared at Ji Mingxia blankly.

Ji Mingxia looked at his stupid expression and suddenly remembered those abhorrent words the Ding couple said and could not help but lean a little closer to him and whisper tenderly, “No matter what colour your eyes are, no matter who your parents are, you don’t have to worry about what other people think. To me, all that matters is that you are Yu Ning."
