"Xiao Yuan, don't scare me!"
"Don't worry, I just overexerted myself. I can't see right now, but I'm not truly blind. After I rest and recuperate, I'll gradually recover."
In the "Righteous Demon Extermination Records," there were similar accounts: temporary blindness, recovery after several weeks, then realizing the need for moderation.
Wei Zhengdao used to overexert himself like this too, but in the end, he got better.
It's just that the "several weeks" here is hard to interpret. It could mean a month, ten months, or anywhere from ten days to a month.
Li Zhiyuan thought the third interpretation was the most suitable. If it were truly ten months of blindness, Wei Zhengdao's tone while writing this would've been much heavier and more frightened. It wouldn't be "then realizing the need for moderation," but rather "terrified" and "as if reborn."
"Xiao Yuan, the mucus in Zhou Yong's eyes has receded, and his eyes have turned red again. He looks very angry."
