With that deafening explosion, the utterly destroyed space also took away the system that was fighting there. If it weren't for the tangible wounds on his body, one would really think he had just been trapped in some kind of illusion.

Wu Xie returned successfully, but the machine that was supposed to return was now a complete wreck, and he just slumped inside it.

The echoes of the explosion still seemed to reverberate in Wu Xie's ears. The world before him appeared to have been torn to shreds, smoke and fire mingling together, blurring his vision. His fingers gripped the dilapidated doorframe tightly, his fingertips already white, yet he refused to let go. His throat felt constricted, unable to utter a sound, only tears silently streaming down his face, mingling with the dust and leaving streaks.

It wasn't until the fat man helped him up from the rubble and asked, "Tianzhen, how did this happen? Have you seen Lingzi?" that he burst into tears.

He dared not face Jieyuhua, and when he looked at her, his expression was evasive, and tears kept flowing down his face.

Jieyuhua probably understood what he meant by his hesitation. Wuxie must have seen the child, and the two of them might have encountered something. Looking at this pile of ruins, Wuxie was probably unharmed despite the damage. The child must have saved him first.

Xie Yuhua closed her eyes and remained silent for a moment before asking, "Where is the child?"

"Ling Xiao... Ling Xiao... I'm sorry... Xiao Hua, I'm sorry." Wu Xie lowered his head and sobbed as he apologized to Xie Yu Hua repeatedly.

"Don't apologize yet, don't waste time. The child is here. No matter what, with so many of us supporting him, we're sure we can rescue him." Xie Yuhua tried her best to remain calm.

"I'm sorry, I can't find it, I can't find the button, there's only the self-destruct button. We've all left, we've all left! But... but he caught Ling Xiao, he caught Ling Xiao! There's less than a minute left, I don't have time to do anything, I can't do anything!"

I'm so useless, so useless. I even needed him to protect me! It hurt so much… He collapsed right in front of me, the door closed, and I couldn't do anything! It exploded! Such a huge explosion.

"The machine broke down, and I can't go back... I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have gone to Golmud. If it weren't for me, Ling Xiao wouldn't have refused to come." Wu Xie's voice grew louder as he spoke. He wanted some comfort, but he couldn't. He was the culprit, and no one could comfort him anymore. He felt so guilty. The image of Ling Xiao collapsing was still vivid in his mind.

After listening, everyone fell silent. Then, Hei Xiazi said with a half-smile, "What kind of desperate situation hasn't the young master experienced? He's always managed to escape danger. What you're afraid of, he might not be afraid of. Last time, he almost lost his body, but he managed to rebuild it. Maybe this time will be like last time. Let's wait a couple of days, and he'll come back safely."

"Yes, Lingzi is not afraid of desperate situations. Doesn't he still have the bloodline of the Spider Lily? Both the trumpet creeper and the Spider Lily bloom in desperate situations. Let's wait patiently. Lingzi... Lingzi will come back." Although he said this, the fat man was still unsure and didn't know if he was just comforting himself.

"Brother, is there any way..." Wu Xie turned his gaze to his brother. He didn't dare ask Xie Yuhua, but his brother, who also possessed the same bloodline, would surely know a lot, perhaps there was something...

"No." The young man shook his head, seemingly lost in thought.

"Chengyu, let's go to the outskirts of Beijing." Xie Yuhua said this and turned to walk back. Chengyu quickly understood what he meant and took a few photos of the scene with trembling hands. Mr. Xie's laboratory was in the suburbs. Mr. Xie was right. There would definitely be a way if we went there.
