“That’s right, he is indeed not a fallen dragon.” Lin Fengmian cautiously circled Mingze, then took out a round mirror-shaped treasure, confirmed it several times, and said to the group.
Upon hearing this, Mingying suddenly stood up, shaking his head repeatedly in disbelief. "How is that possible!"
Then Lin Fengmian pointed the Kunlun Mirror at Mingying and said coldly, "You are a fallen dragon."
"When did I become a fallen dragon?! I am the noble nine-headed hydra!"
Mingying gritted his teeth. He had no memory of the incident, only that he was assassinated and then fell into the Netherworld.
Yes and no.
“This matter is complicated. Although you claim that you have nothing to do with it, the Kunlun Mirror shows, and with my meticulous calculations, it was you who did it.”
"Please come with me. As for Brother Mingze, only the powerful being who sealed you and his successor can save you. You have suffered greatly in this abyss, and if you don't get out soon, you may perish."
"If you are willing, we hope you will cooperate with our investigation. This matter concerns a major event in the cultivation world, and we hope you will all take it seriously!"
Lin Fengmian's expression was serious, and his tone even carried a sense of intimidation, no longer the easy-going person he used to be.
Mingze looked astonished, lowered his eyes to look at Tu Longjian, his eyes seemed to be filled with tears, sparkling with light.
However, fearing Lin Fengmian's presence, he did not plead, but simply looked at her quietly, his eyes full of hope.
He knew she was the new flag master. But he had no idea whether she would help him.
Seeing Tu Longjian deep in thought, Mingze lowered his head in disappointment. Indeed, he was no longer the majestic dragon, but a useless piece of trash on the verge of death.
He had no use to her whatsoever, and they had only just met. What right or reason did he have to ask for her help?
Mingying took a step back, staring blankly at Tu Longjian's silent figure.
Will she abandon him?
Upon their first meeting, he attacked her fiercely, and their bond lasted only a few hours.
If the situation were reversed, I would never forgive a contracted pet that dared to betray its master. Since someone else has taken on this hot potato, it's better to throw it away.
Unlike Mingze and Mingying's imagined scenarios, Tu Longjian was not thinking about how to deal with the two of them, but was instead focusing intently on the Kunlun Mirror.
Why did this technique seem so familiar to her?
Her gaze lingered on the Kunlun Mirror, just as it suddenly pointed at her.
When their eyes fell upon the silver patterned markings that resembled the Heavenly Destiny Star Chart, Tu Longjian and Lin Fengmian exchanged astonished glances.
Wen Ye Ci!
Lin Fengmian also recognized her as the "mountain spirit" who had stolen his destiny star chart by chance in the mortal world!
He suffers from prosopagnosia and has long forgotten what the woman looked like, only remembering that she was very beautiful.
Wen Yeci came to the Lingxu Ancient Realm as instructed by his master. Because he needed to act in secrecy, he changed his appearance and even changed the Taoist techniques he used to unorthodox ones. Therefore, Tu Longjian naturally did not recognize him.
Throughout the journey, he never doubted his teammates who fought alongside him, nor did he try to deduce Tu Longjian's past.
Just now, seeing Tu Longjian's rather interested look, he remembered some strange things that had happened around the other party.
For example, Gan Xiuming, who was by her side, suddenly underwent a personality change.
Driven by curiosity, he made a deduction, only to be shocked to discover that it was that woman. Moreover, he even discovered the heaven-defying act of absorbing other people's luck, and he gasped in astonishment.
Ignoring the uneasy or apprehensive looks from Mingze and Mingying, Tu Longjian coldly approached Wen Yeci, and the two said in unison, "I want to talk to you."
The two arrived at a secluded cave and sat down to talk.
"Ah Xiang, may I ask where my Destiny Star Chart is? Could you please return it to me?" Wen Yeci politely lifted her robe and sat down, her expression complex.
He had always felt some dissatisfaction and slight fear towards the woman who had knocked him unconscious and stolen his astrolabe, but he never expected that she would be the person he greatly admired and entrusted with his life.
"I'm sorry, I can't pay you back."
The horoscope had already been swallowed up by the fortune-telling device. At that time, she even planned to take the life of the person who was threatening her, so she naturally didn't care about his personal magical artifact.
Tu Longjian took out a magical artifact and handed it over, saying, "I'm sorry, this is a gift to apologize."
Wen Yeci sighed and did not accept it. "The Destiny Star Chart is extremely important to us Silver Light Pavilion disciples. Although my master gave me another one after reprimanding me, the first one is still more handy."
"It's gone, so be it."
“But…” A hint of worry and heartache flashed in Wen Yeci’s eyes, “Why did you have to… steal the luck of the man you love? If you have any difficulties, you can tell me, and perhaps I can help you.”
"I can't say. Fengmian, no, Ye Ci, can you keep this a secret for me? I have my own reasons. Just pretend you know nothing."
Seeing that Tu Longjian was unmoved by reason, Wen Yeci said righteously, "No, now that I know, I must stop you from making the same mistake again. This is the mission of a righteous cultivator. I hope you can turn back from the wrong path."
His expression was impassioned, and his words were resounding.
Tu Longjian's expression turned cold. He stood up and approached him, looking down at him with an extremely oppressive aura.
Are you really going to ruin my plans?
