Upon waking, Xie You recalled the events of the previous day. Instinctively, he tried to mobilize his senses to see if the potion he drank had any effect.
He intended to attempt to establish a protective barrier using his senses, a feat that was generally difficult for most commanders. However, he had been capable of it before his injury; his sensory damage had originally been caused by expending too much energy while establishing a barrier to defend against unknown star beasts.
To his surprise, this attempt directly enveloped his entire residence with a sensory barrier. Considering their status, this residence was practically a palace, and thus not small in area.
"What’s going on?!"
"What was that just now?"
"Alert! Alert!"
The guards and servants within the palace blurted these words out without thinking as they witnessed the situation.
But soon, someone reacted. A guard looked at the phenomenon before him: "If I'm not mistaken, isn't this a sensory barrier?"
This guard had been fortunate enough to witness Xie You's sensory barrier before, so as soon as he saw this, he felt it resembled the situation he had seen then.
As this person voiced his thoughts, someone else was confused: "A sensory barrier, that's not something just anyone can create, is it?"
"His Highness the Crown Prince can accomplish this skill, it must be His Highness the Crown Prince!"
However, as soon as this was said, the speaker quickly covered their mouth. Their ability to guard this entire palace meant they naturally knew the Crown Prince's senses were damaged. Without senses, how could he establish a barrier!
But then again, besides the Crown Prince, who else could cause such a significant disturbance!
All of them fell into a state of vigilance, bracing themselves to prevent any harm to anyone within this palace.
At this time, Xie You, realizing what had happened in his room, was already too late. He quickly withdrew his senses. The barrier then vanished before everyone's eyes, as if it had just been an illusion.
But they all knew clearly that it was not an illusion. Someone commanded, "Investigate what happened just now!"
Xie You sat by the bedside, his eyes fixed on his hands. Although the senses were not emitted through any specific gestures, his current actions made him feel more real!
"My senses, they've really recovered!"
At this moment, Xie You pondered, who exactly was Meng Huai? He had sought out renowned doctors for his sensory damage, but not a single doctor dared to claim they could treat his condition.
Yet, Meng Huai's potion had resolved the issue so simply!
"Who exactly is he!"
Xie You muttered to himself repeatedly in his room, and soon he heard hurried footsteps approaching his room, followed by the sound of knocking. It was Xie Yelin and Yun Xu, frantically pounding on Xie You's door.
"You'er! Are you in there?"
"You'er, did something happen?"
The moment Xie Yelin sensed the sensory barrier, he had realized: "It's You'er's sensory barrier!"
Saying this, he headed towards Xie You's room, and Yun Xu followed suit upon seeing his actions.
Yun Xu asked, "Could he have encountered danger?"
Soon, Xie You opened the door and saw his flustered father and mother: "I'm fine, sorry to have worried you."
Seeing that Xie You was indeed unharmed, Xie Yelin breathed a sigh of relief. Although he often told Xie You to take over his affairs quickly so he and his wife could travel, Xie You was his son, after all, and how could he not worry about him!
"Was that a sensory barrier just now? Did you encounter any danger?"
Yun Xu touched Xie You's face, relieved to see he was not injured, but still inquired.
Hearing Yun Xu’s question, Xie You felt a hint of embarrassment: "My senses have recovered, and I couldn't control them for a moment."
Upon hearing that her son's senses had recovered, Yun Xu exclaimed excitedly, "You'er, your senses? That's wonderful!"
Although Yun Xu hadn't spoken of it, she had been worried about Xie You during this period. It was unavoidable; her son had been a prodigy since childhood, doted on and protected by everyone. She knew her son had a strong sense of pride and had never faced any setbacks.
Even in battles, he had always easily defeated enemies, but was that truly good? Sometimes Yun Xu would ask herself this. Therefore, this time she felt a bit of setback wouldn't harm her son, but she couldn't help but worry.
This is the contradiction of motherhood. Thus, she dared not ask much about the sensory damage.
However, Yun Xu had also inquired extensively about ways to resolve this problem, and she had indeed found some methods. But... all the methods she found were forbidden arts.
For instance, extracting other people's senses to be used by Xie You. From the literal meaning of this method, the person from whom the senses were extracted would naturally lose their own. Moreover, Xie You's own senses were stronger than ordinary people. Calculating this, how many people's senses would need to be transferred to restore him to his original strength?
After hearing of this method, Xie Yelin ordered all records of its usage to be destroyed.
But now that Xie You had recovered his senses so suddenly, he almost suspected his son!
However, he quickly dismissed the thought. He knew his son's character. Yet, he was still very curious about how he had recovered so abruptly.
Xie Yelin asked, "How did they suddenly recover? You didn't use any unconventional methods, did you!?"
Although Xie Yelin didn't think Xie You would use forbidden arts, the words had slipped out unintentionally. As the saying goes, he spoke without thinking.
Hearing Xie Yelin's words, Xie You didn't think much of it. Instead, Yun Xu patted Xie Yelin twice fiercely: "What are you saying! You'er would never use any harmful methods!"
Xie You asked with confusion, "What methods?"
It turned out that the methods Yun Xu had inquired about earlier had all been destroyed by Xie Yelin, but Xie You was completely unaware of this.
"It's a method of transferring other people's senses to you."
Yun Xu explained to Xie You.
Xie You waved his hand, saying, "It's not like that. I just drank a potion, and it recovered!"
"A potion?"
Xie Yelin and Yun Xu uttered the word together, both surprised by this method.
Xie You hadn't told them yet that not only had his senses recovered, but they had also significantly improved. This was truly a blessing in disguise!
Xie Yelin and Yun Xu had many questions they wanted to ask Xie You, but Xie You's senses had just recovered, and his complexion appeared somewhat pale. Moreover, he looked quite fatigued, which worried the couple.
Xie Yelin suppressed the urge to ask a hundred questions and said to Xie You, "Then you should rest for a while. Your complexion looks quite bad."
Thus, the couple went downstairs with their minds full of concerns. Xie You did not rest but went to wash up.
Now, he was in debt. He should obediently go to work to pay off his debts!
