What did Liu Lieyu say to you?
“That day, the three of us brothers were cultivating when we suddenly sensed someone intruding, so we went to investigate,” Zhuque said.
Qinglong chimed in, "When we saw it was Donghuang, the three of us were ready to make our move, but Liu Lieyu told us that he knew the whereabouts of Baihu."
Xuanwu chimed in, "Yes, I remember he showed us a strange mirror at the time. There was a little boy in the picture, and he said that was a descendant of the White Tiger."
"Actually, before this, the three of us sensed a trace of the White Tiger's aura, but just as we were about to search for its location, it disappeared. We thought the White Tiger had hidden itself again and didn't think much of it," Zhuque continued to explain. "When we saw that the little boy's face looked exactly like the White Tiger's sister, we asked Donghuang to show us more clips, but Donghuang refused. He also said that the little boy was the White Tiger's sister's child, that the White Tiger had been killed by you, and that this little boy had also suffered at your hands, and that the White Tiger lineage had been extinct."
How did Liu Lieyu know about Jin Yu? Shouldn't Liu Lieyu have been in You's Heavenly Prison when I was in the Abyss? How could he know all this? Wait, the mirror?!
"Is that mirror about this big?" I gestured with my hand to indicate the size of the mirror.
Suzaku paused for a moment, then nodded. "Yes."
I understand now. It was Wu's mirror. When Jin Yu died, Wu and Liu Lieyu's younger brother and sister were all there. Later, they returned to Heaven, and they all disappeared suddenly along with Liu Lieyu.
So, Wu had already sided with Liu Lieyu? That's a bit troublesome...
“You.” I tugged at You’s sleeve with some concern.
"What's wrong?"
"We might be in trouble."
"It's okay, I'm here."
"But..." I decided to tell You about Wu, "Do you remember the white-haired man I brought back from the abyss last time?"
"Remember."
“He has a mirror so he can see us at any time.” The thought that I might be being watched all the time sent chills down my spine.
You narrowed her eyes dangerously. "Is that so?"
"Yes, and I guess he has already gone to join Liu Lieyu. I don't think Liu Lieyu showed them the mirror from when he was a little boy."
You listened without speaking, remaining silent as if lost in thought, her eyes revealing a dangerous glint.
If You and I were to retire into seclusion, Liu Lieyu could likely use the Mirror of Nothingness to monitor us at all times.
I instantly lost my temper. This Liu Lieyu is disgusting. He's like a snake, clinging to people and refusing to let go!
If I told him I wasn't the previous girl, I wondered if he'd let me go? But I immediately dismissed the thought. I figured he'd let me go, but he'd definitely kill me before that! Liu Lieyu's brutal nature meant he was capable of anything. What if he told You...? I didn't even want to think about it. I couldn't take that risk.
"You, what should we do?" I asked again in a low voice when I saw that You was still silent.
"It's alright, it's just a magical artifact, there's always a way to counter it." You chuckled and reassured me, and I noticed that You's expression had returned to its calm and composed state.
"But how can I control myself..."
You just told me that he would think of a way and that I shouldn't worry, just stay by his side and he would definitely protect me.
But can I really feel at ease?
I increasingly feel as if I'm trapped in a spider web, sinking deeper and deeper.
