Chapter 106 Go get what you want yourself
The screams of the guards pierced the night sky, instantly alarming the entire governor's mansion.
Suddenly, a cacophony of footsteps and shouts came from all directions.
"They're here." Lin Huairou's eyes turned slightly cold, but the talisman between her fingers tightened even more.
Xie Xun sensed something was wrong and immediately said to Lin Huairou, "Let's go to the waterside pavilion!"
As soon as the two of them rushed out of the courtyard, they saw Fu Qingyan leading a large group of people carrying torches, illuminating the courtyard brightly.
"Where are you going, sister-in-law?"
Fu Qingyan blocked his way with a forced smile, "My man was injured outside your courtyard, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Lin Huairou immediately stepped in front of Xie Xun and said coldly, "It was clearly your people spying on us at night! Whatever happens has nothing to do with us!"
"What a sharp-tongued girl."
Fu Qingyan's eyes turned cold, clearly realizing that Lin Huairou had regained her memories. "Take her down!"
Just as the guards were about to step forward, Zhou Wei arrived with a group of men.
"Second Master, what are you doing?"
"Butler Zhou has arrived just in time."
Fu Qingyan pointed at the soldier groaning in pain on the ground, his sneer growing stronger, "This girl used sorcery to injure my men. According to the rules of your household, what should her punishment be?"
"witchcraft?"
However, Xie Xun chuckled and took a piece of peach wood from Lin Huairou's hand. "Is this what you mean, Second Brother?"
He casually tossed the peach wood piece into the pond next to him.
When the peach wood was placed in the water, it emitted a faint golden light, and the malevolent energy on the water surface instantly dissipated.
"This is peach wood used to ward off evil spirits."
Xie Xun stared directly at Fu Qingyan, a cold smile playing on his lips, and said meaningfully, "It's quite something that my second brother's men carry such a heavy aura of yin energy. Could it be that they went to some unclean place?"
Fu Qingyan's expression changed drastically.
Just then, the temperature in the entire courtyard suddenly dropped, and even the torch flames turned an eerie, ghostly green.
A gust of cold wind swept by, and all the shadows began to sway unnaturally.
Suddenly, the guards brought by Fu Qingyan were horrified to discover that their shadows were turning around and strangling themselves!
"ah--!"
Screams erupted as the guards dropped their weapons and frantically scratched their necks, but could find nothing.
Fu Qingyan was both shocked and furious. "Who?!"
Under the moonlight, a figure appeared silently on the roof of the waterside pavilion.
Fu Qinghuai stood there, his eyes pure black, surrounded by a tangible black aura drawn from all the shadows.
"Those who harmed me?"
His voice echoed with countless layers, as if it came from the depths of hell.
As he raised his hand, Fu Qingyan suddenly collapsed to his knees in agony, black blood oozing from his seven orifices.
"Big brother... spare me... Fu Qinghuai..." Fu Qingyan pleaded with difficulty.
Fu Qinghuai slowly landed beside Xie Xun, the black energy condensing into black mist beneath his feet. He didn't even glance at the pleading Fu Qingyan, staring intently at Xie Xun.
"I told you I would protect you."
But his condition was clearly wrong. In his completely black eyes, the clarity that belonged to Fu Qinghuai could no longer be seen; there was only the pure malice and possessiveness of the Mirror Spirit.
Xie Xun's heart sank upon seeing this.
The Mirror Spirit is completely devouring Fu Qinghuai's consciousness.
Fu Qinghuai, or rather the spirit of the mirror at this moment, stared intently at Xie Xun with his completely black eyes, his fingertips lightly lifting Xie Xun's chin.
"Get out of the way."
"Honey, don't be so cold,"
Fu Qinghuai, controlled by the elf, not only did not retreat, but instead took a step closer. Black mist wrapped around him like tentacles, and his body exuded the domineering aura unique to warlords. "When we were in the mirror, didn't we get along quite well?"
"joy?"
Xie Xun slapped his hand away and sneered, "Are you referring to almost trapping me in the mirror and never being able to get out, or almost causing me to die inside?"
"That's all about fun."
The spirit chuckled and reached out to put her arm around his waist. "Isn't it better to come with me? I can give you everything you want. Can that good-for-nothing do that?"
"I want you to get out."
Xie Xun took a step back, avoiding his touch. "Also, don't make that kind of expression with that face. It's disgusting."
These words finally enraged the Mirror Spirit.
His eyes turned cold, and a murderous aura surged around him. "If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences."
Just then, Fu Qingyan, who was in the corner, seemed to have recovered and let out a series of weak laughs.
Xie Xun looked in the direction of the sound and saw Fu Qingyan standing up, leaning against the wall, with blood still hanging from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were even more crazed.
"Mirror Spirit, let's cooperate."
Fu Qingyan spoke in a hoarse voice, but his gaze was fixed on Xie Xun, "We have the same goal, we both want him."
"Let's deal with this disobedient consciousness first, and then... we'll each rely on our own abilities."
Fu Qinghuai, controlled by the Mirror Spirit, narrowed his eyes, seemingly weighing his options.
An alarm bell rang in Xie Xun's mind.
If these two problems were to come together, the situation would become extremely complicated.
No, he had to break this dangerous alliance.
"cooperate?"
Xie Xun suddenly sneered. He looked at the Mirror Spirit, his tone filled with undisguised sarcasm, "Is that all you've got? A remnant soul that can't even control its own body, dares to talk to you about cooperation? He can't even trap me, and you expect him to help you deal with Fu Qinghuai?"
These words struck a nerve with the Mirror Spirit's pride, causing the black mist around him to freeze.
Fu Qingyan's expression changed drastically. "Shut up!"
Xie Xun ignored him completely and continued to administer strong medicine to the Mirror Spirit, "Or are you actually afraid? Afraid that you can't deal with Fu Qinghuai, so you need to find such a useless person as an ally?"
"Provocation won't work on me, little beauty."
The spirit's voice was deep, but Xie Xun saw a fleeting wavering in his eyes.
"Yeah?"
Xie Xun pressed on relentlessly, even taking a step forward, almost touching the churning black mist, and chuckled, "Then prove it to me. Use your own abilities to take me down."
"Relying on joining forces with others... I look down on you."
He spoke the last five words softly and slowly, yet they were like a knife, piercing his heart.
The Mirror Spirit remained silent for a moment, then suddenly raised its hand, and a wisp of black mist shot towards Fu Qingyan like an arrow.
Caught off guard, Fu Qingyan was struck hard in the chest and slammed against the wall again, vomiting a mouthful of black blood. He stared at the Mirror Spirit in disbelief.
"you……!"
Did you hear that?
The Mirror Spirit stopped looking at Fu Qingyan and turned to Xie Xun, a wicked smile playing on its lips. The black mist gently wrapped around Xie Xun's wrist. "He's right. What I want, I'll take myself. I don't need any useless people to interfere."
A dangerous atmosphere enveloped Xie Xun once again, but this time, the oppressive feeling from the Mirror Spirit seemed to be mixed with a strong desire for conquest that had been aroused.
Xie Xun remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he felt a slight sense of relief.
At least, the worst-case scenario has been avoided for now.
Next, he needs to navigate the machinations of this spirit until the wedding day.
