"The Flower Goddess's words are hard to believe. The Four Heavenly Spirits have long since disappeared. How could they suddenly appear now?" The speaker was an old man with a kind-sounding voice.
"Old Immortal Lin, are you saying I lied?" The high-pitched, seductive female voice sounded somewhat angry.
"Flower Goddess, I didn't say that. It's just that you suddenly said the Four Spirits of Heaven have reappeared. There must be some evidence for that."
"Hmph." The woman snorted coldly, ignoring the old man, and turned her attention to Luo, "Steward Luo, I am absolutely not lying. My little flower fairy accidentally discovered the current location of the Four Celestial Spirits, and I also went to investigate yesterday. How could I, the Flower Goddess, not recognize the aura of the ancient spirits?"
I didn't hear Luo's voice for a long time, and the room was silent. After a long while, Luo finally spoke, "Flower Goddess, if what you said is true, the reappearance of the Four Heavenly Spirits is a major event. I also need to report to Emperor You and Emperor Xin before I can make a decision."
“Manager Luo, I, the Flower Goddess, never utter a single falsehood. If Emperor You and Emperor Xin do not believe me, I can take them to see for themselves right now.”
"Flower Goddess, there's no need to be so agitated. I've never said I didn't believe it." After a long pause, Luo spoke again, "Later, I'll go with you to investigate personally."
The Flower Goddess nodded, "The sooner the better. According to my little flower fairy, the Four Heavenly Spirits are up to no good this time. They came prepared, seemingly specifically to deal with Emperor Xin."
They're targeting me? I was completely bewildered when I heard this from outside. What did I do? Why are they specifically targeting me?
"Xin'er?" You suddenly called out to me.
"What's wrong?" I turned my head to look at You, who was sitting next to me.
You grasped my hand, which was resting on the armrest, and looked at me with her dark eyes. "Xin'er, trust me, I will protect you."
"You, you heard that too?"
"I heard you." You nodded.
Looking at You's worried face, I opened my mouth but didn't know what to say.
"Xin'er, it's okay. I'll stay with you."
I sighed, not understanding why one of the Four Celestial Spirits would suddenly appear. Was it to avenge the great war of the past? But that was ten thousand years ago, so why did they have to come looking for revenge now?
Could it be?
A thought suddenly struck me, "You, do you still remember Jinyu?"
"I remember," You nodded.
"Jinyu is dead. He was a descendant of the White Tiger, one of the Four Celestial Spirits. I've heard that the Four Celestial Spirits are interconnected. Could it be because of Jinyu's death?"
You lowered her eyes, pondered for a moment, and replied, "Possibly."
I remembered the bead Jin Yu gave me before she left. "You, do you know what this bead is for?" I stretched out my hand, and the bead appeared steadily in my palm.
"What is this?" You squinted at it for a long time. "This is probably a token of the White Tiger lineage, one of the Four Heavenly Spirits."
"I always feel there's a powerful force inside," I said, looking at the bead in my hand.
"He contains all the spiritual power of the White Tiger lineage. The Four Heavenly Spirits are a single lineage, and each generation of spirits will store up all their spiritual power before they die and pass it on to the next generation."
"Then isn't this the entire power of Jinyu's ancestors?" I was somewhat surprised.
“That’s right.” You nodded.
I was stumped. How could Jin Yu have entrusted something so important to me, his “enemy”? Sigh, the thought that Jin Yu never knew that I was the one who caused his mother’s fatal injury, and that he still considered me a friend, made me feel a little guilty.
