The warmth enveloped me, and my consciousness gradually returned. 0
 
I opened my eyes to see Fei Wan's anxious face before me. 0
 
"You finally woke up!" 0
 
Her voice was filled with worry and relief, warming my heart. 0
 
"What happened?" 0
 
I struggled to sit up, my body still weak. 0
 
" Xiao Hui... it unleashed a powerful force, and then you fainted." 0
 
Fei Wan's explanation carried a hint of confusion, and my heart sank sharply. 0
 
"Where is Xiao Hui?" 0
 
I looked around; the space was empty, with no sign of Xiao Hui. 0
 
"It disappeared. After the light faded, it was gone." 0
 
Fei Wan's voice was low, and my heart felt as if it were being tightly gripped by an invisible hand. 0
 
Had Xiao Hui left me just like my parents did? 0
 
"Don't worry, it must be fine." 0
 
 
Fei Wan held my hand, whispering words of comfort, but the unease in my heart lingered. 0
 
"We need to get out of here," I said. 0
 
I nodded; it was too dangerous here, and Wu Mingyuan could return at any moment. 0
 
We packed our things and quickly left the factory. 0
 
On the way back to school, we carefully examined our parents' journals. 0
 
The entries mentioned an abandoned temple, which seemed to conceal the truth behind our parents' sacrifice. 0
 
We decided to investigate further. 0
 
However, we were unaware that a dangerous shadow was silently closing in on us. 0
 
Wu Mingyuan had sent someone to follow us. 0
 
By the time we reached the temple, it was surrounded by men in black, exuding a murderous aura. 0
 
"It looks like we're surrounded," Fei Wan said, her expression grave, and my heart raced in my chest. 0
 
"We have to break through." 0
 
 
I scanned my surroundings, searching for an escape route. 0
 
Behind the temple, there was a patch of woods. 0
 
"Run into the woods!" 0
 
I pointed towards the trees, and Fei Wan immediately understood. 0
 
We dashed towards the forest, with the men in black hot on our heels. 0
 
In the woods, we were like two frightened rabbits, desperately evading the hounds chasing us. 0
 
Just as we were about to be caught, Fei Wan suddenly stopped. 0
 
"What’s wrong?" 0
 
I asked, my heart pounding. 0
 
"I can sense Xiao Hui's presence." 0
 
She closed her eyes, carefully attuning herself to everything around us. 0
 
"It's nearby." 0
 
Fei Wan opened her eyes, a spark of excitement shining within them. 0
 
 
We ran towards the direction from which Xiao Hui's presence was emanating. 0
 
In an open area, Xiao Hui was surrounded by several men in black, its body covered in wounds, and my heart ached as if it were being pierced by needles. 0
 
" Xiao Hui!" 0
 
I shouted angrily and rushed forward. 0
 
The men in black clearly didn't expect our sudden appearance, and for a moment, they were thrown into disarray. 0
 
I seized the opportunity and rescued Xiao Hui. 0
 
Upon seeing me, its eyes were filled with grievance and dependence as it nuzzled against my leg, as if recounting its ordeal. 0
 
I gently stroked its head. 0
 
"Let's go!" 0
 
I picked up Xiao Hui and continued to flee with Fei Wan. 0
 
The men in black pursued us once more, like ghosts that couldn't be shaken off. 0
 
Just as we were about to escape the woods, Wu Mingyuan appeared. 0
 
He blocked our path, a cold smile on his face, resembling a venomous snake. 0
 
 
"You can't escape now." 0
 
His voice was cold and piercing, igniting a fierce anger within me. 0
 
I placed Xiao Hui on the ground and glared fiercely at Wu Mingyuan. 0
 
"I won't let you hurt it." 0
 
My tone was resolute, filled with determination. 0
 
Wu Mingyuan let out a cold laugh, his eyes brimming with disdain. 0
 
"Is that so?" 0
 
As soon as he finished speaking, the men in black behind him surged forward like hungry wolves. 0
 
I took a deep breath and assumed a fighting stance. 0
 
Fei Wan was also ready for battle; we stood back to back, prepared to face this brutal fight. 0
 
Suddenly, Xiao Hui let out a sharp cry, its body radiating a powerful light once again. 0
 
The brilliance enveloped everything, blinding Wu Mingyuan and the men in black. 0
 
A surge of immense power flowed into my body, and I felt invigorated. 0
 
 
I swung my fists, taking down the black-clad men one by one. 0
 
Wu Mingyuan looked at me in terror, stepping back with each movement. 0
 
I advanced toward him, the fire of anger in my heart burning even brighter. 0
 
I threw a punch, striking him hard in the chest. 0
 
He let out a scream and fell to the ground. 0
 
Just as I was about to end his life, the light of Xiao Hui vanished. 0
 
My strength faded along with it, leaving me feeling weak. 0
 
Seizing the opportunity, Wu Mingyuan fled, and the black-clad men retreated as well. 0
 
I watched Wu Mingyuan's escape with a heart full of resentment. 0
 
I knew this was just the beginning. 0
 
I picked up Xiao Hui and left the woods with Fei Wan. 0
 
Back at school, we began planning our next move, the flames of revenge roaring in my heart. 0
