1454 At this moment, Lu Yun couldn't even pay attention to Lei Zi's unusually pale expression. His head felt as if a needle had been driven straight through it, piercing with unbearable pain. "Uncle Lu..." Seeing Lu Yun clutching his head with both hands, nearly rolling onto the bed, Lei Zi grew concerned once again and spoke. "Hm?" After a moment, Lu Yun's pain eased slightly as he lifted his eyes to Lei Zi, saying, "Lei Zi, you said you were about to head to class—why are you still lingering here in the dorm?" After all, Lu Yun might not mind his homeroom teacher's complaints, but Lei Zi did. Even though Lei Zi had changed significantly compared to before, he still wasn't seen by teachers as a truly failing student—someone who would simply fall apart. He certainly couldn't yet match Lu Yun's boldness in confronting or even physically confronting a teacher. Lei Zi scratched his head, his face suddenly filled with a sudden wave of fear, as though unsure how to begin. He just stared at Lu Yun, unable to find the words to speak. Although Lu Yun's headache had slightly improved, it was still unbearable. Seeing Lei stumbling over himself, unable to explain clearly, Lu Yun gradually lost his patience, thinking he was worried about the two thousand yuan matter. He closed his eyes, lay back on the pillow, and gently rubbed his temples. "Lei, I've promised you I'd follow through—my word is my bond. The money from the convenience store is being kept by Xiao Ying. After class, just go to the convenience store and pick it up from her. Right now, I really don't feel like moving, nor do I want to deal with anything else..." Before Lu Yun could finish speaking, Lei suddenly looked worried and said, "Cloud Brother, what are you thinking about? Am I really that kind of person? All I'm worried about is you." "Worried about me?" Lu Yun was startled, looking at Lei with genuine confusion. Lei shrunk a little and finally said, "Cloud Brother, you were quite frightening last night." "Frightening?" "Last night, indeed, my dream really scared Lu Yun quite badly. But how could Lei Zi possibly know about it? Could it be that I was talking in my sleep?" "Did I talk in my sleep?" Lu Yun was puzzled. Lei Zi shook his head. "Not exactly. But when I got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, I noticed you glowing—first a bright green light, then a deep black one, flickering and darting around your body." "What?" Lu Yun sat up suddenly in bed, eyes fixed intently on Lei Zi, asking, "Lei Zi, you're saying I'm glowing?" Lei Zi nodded seriously. "Cloud Brother, how could I possibly lie about this? I was absolutely terrified at the time. Those two lights—each occupying half of your body—seemed to split you right down the middle." As he spoke, he traced his fingers from Lu Yun's forehead all the way to where the old second one existed. Lu Yun remained silent. Lei saw Lu Yun's serious expression and, unwilling to conceal anything he had observed, continued, "Cloud brother, at that moment, those two clusters of light seemed to be fighting for territory—no, it was more like two people clashing, back and forth. One moment the dark light would overpower the green one, and then the next, the green light would tightly press down on the dark one, making it impossible to tell which was winning. They were truly locked in fierce combat. I was so frightened I was completely at a loss—nearly wet myself!" Lei looked at Lu Yun, whose face was pale to the point of distress, and wasn't sure whether he should continue speaking. For a moment, both of them remained silent, motionless. Lei was genuinely startled by what he had seen last night. Throughout his life, he had only ever seen people glow on TV—those mystical, fairy-tale figures, either immortals or magical beings. But last night, for the first time, he had witnessed something truly unusual in real life. He was genuinely afraid that Lu Yun might be possessed by a ghost or haunted by spirits. Ever since childhood, he had heard elders talk about fox spirits, evil ghosts, and such—so immediately, these thoughts came to mind. Though thus, Lu Yun still pondered Li Zi's words carefully, ultimately rejecting the idea. Besides Lu Yun's inherently strong and vigorous constitution, there was also the protective presence of the Humble Dragon. Even if true ghosts or spirit foxes were involved, they would hardly be able to attach themselves to Lu Yun's body. Moreover, from Li Zi's description, it was clear that the one who could fight the Humble Dragon so fiercely and remain evenly matched must be an exceptionally powerful being. Although Lu Yun had never personally witnessed the Humble Dragon's full strength—indeed, at this moment, the Humble Dragon could only survive within Lu Yun's body—Lu Yun was certain that no ordinary yin-being could penetrate his body. After all, Lu Yun and the Humble Dragon were as closely connected as two insects tied to the same rope. If any yin-being were to attach itself to Lu Yun, the Humble Dragon would surely not ignore it. Therefore, the notion of Lei Zi being afflicted by a "yin-object" can be entirely dismissed. Yet, what exactly is that black light? How come it also exists within his own body, and has he never heard Wuxiao Long mention it before? Could it possibly be Wuxiao Long's rival? The moment this thought struck him, Lu Yun suddenly shivered. If that were true, his life might be in constant danger. No, he absolutely had to find out the truth from Wuxiao Long! "Lei Zi, since you don't wish to go to class, just stay in the dormitory. After morning class, go to the convenience store and get money from Xiao Ying. I'll rest a while." Without waiting for Lei Zi's response, Lu Yun grabbed the blanket beside him and swiftly draped it over his head. Urgent as it was—without clarifying this matter, Lu Yun simply wouldn't have a peaceful life ahead. No matter what he learned from Wuxiao Long, it would be far better than remaining completely unaware of the black light within his own body.
