"The one at the banquet is my clone."
A clone? It's not surprising that immortals have clones, but the difference between a clone and the real person is still very large. Needless to say, Liu Lieyu could tell at a glance.
"But why do your clones look exactly like your brothers?"
"Didn't I tell you last time that I absorbed them all? I can now have five clones; they are me, and they are not me."
You's seemingly plausible but ultimately contradictory words only confused me further.
Seeing that I still didn't understand, You continued to explain, "They are more like my brothers. Each clone corresponds to one of my brothers. I can release them when I need them and recall them when I'm done."
"Then..." I was somewhat stunned, but I roughly understood what You meant, "Will they listen to your accusations?"
I remember that "You" at the banquet that day looked exactly like his brother, without a trace of You.
You sneered, "Of course they listen to me. Although the clone's personality is exactly the same as my former brother, I still control it. I can also perceive the outside world through the clone. I know everything that happened at the banquet that day."
You continued, "When I came to find you, I deliberately left them where they were, just in case Liu Lieyu suddenly came to investigate."
"Can your clone still allow the souls of your five brothers to converge in one body?" I asked after thinking for a moment. The "You" I saw that day was not just You's one brother, but all five of them.
"Of course."
My god, that's pretty impressive...
I sniffed. Everyone else is making progress, but I'm getting worse and worse. Although my magic power has returned, it's still no match for You and Liu Lieyu.
After saying that, You pulled me into her arms again. "Xin'er, we'll be able to leave this awful place soon. I'll go with you wherever you want to go."
The thought of leaving filled me with undisguised joy, but I managed to calm myself down. "You, let's find a place to hide after we get out."
After You and I leave, Liu Lieyu will definitely search for us everywhere. Now that Liu Lieyu has so much power, it would be too easy for him to catch us. Besides, there is also Wu's mirror.
“Oh, right, You.” I suddenly remembered something and quickly let go of You’s arms, looking serious. “There’s no mirror. If he uses a mirror to look at us, won’t we be discovered by Liu Lieyu immediately?” As I spoke, I lowered my eyes. “I think the reason my plan failed is very likely due to Wu.”
"Don't worry, I'll set up a barrier between us, he won't be able to see us," You said, squeezing my hand to comfort me.
"Are you sure it's okay?" I was still a little wary of the Mirror of Nothingness. After all, a mirror that allows you to see others at any time is just too much of a bug.
Although we also possess a spell called "Mirror Flower, Water Moon," which allows us to observe whomever we wish, this spell has limitations; it can only see those whose cultivation level is lower than ours. However, the Mirror of Nothingness allows anyone to be seen. The person in question remains completely unaware.
I remember that when Wu was imprisoned, he often looked at the original owner of the body, You, and Liu Lieyu through the mirror. If he hadn't spoken up himself, would any of us have noticed anything?
"Don't worry, I've tried it."
"Huh? How do we try it?" Actually, I still trust You, after all, You isn't me, and she's unreliable.
“I’ve been in Guixu for so long, and I’ve been awake for a while now.” You smiled and looked at me. “When I learned about this mirror, I deliberately approached Wu and took his mirror to look at myself a few times.”
"Would he really let you see it?" When I went to borrow something, he told me the mirror was broken. Looking back now, he must have been lying to me.
"Hmm." You nodded. "After I looked into it, I went back and researched ways to control it. I only came to find you after I confirmed that it was feasible, so as not to alert it."
I can't help but admire You's mind; she's just not like me. She's thought everything through, prepared everything, and her fighting skills are top-notch too.
Looking back at my plan, it was utterly childish. I clearly guessed what was going on, but I stubbornly refused to give up, and as a result, I almost lost my life and never saw You again.
"That's good."
"Alright, I have to go now." You hugged me tightly one last time. "Xin'er, wait for me tonight."
"Okay." I hugged You back, nestled in her warm embrace, feeling extremely happy.
You reluctantly let go of me, took my hand and kissed it lightly, and then the shadow slowly blurred until it disappeared.
After You left, I felt exceptionally good; I've never been happier than today.
I'll be able to leave this awful place with You soon, and I won't have to put up with that damned Liu Lieyu anymore.
I sat on the veranda, thinking about packing some valuables, but then I realized, what do I need to bring?
The only magical artifact, the Phoenix Flute, is also on Liu Lieyu's person. I can't very well ask him for it now.
Liu Lieyu definitely won't give it to me. Even if he did, it would only arouse suspicion for no reason.
Fine, let Liu Lieyu keep the Phoenix Flute as a keepsake, let him keep it in his heart and think of the deceased Nv Xin. A wicked smile appeared on my lips.
I glanced at the sky from time to time; the sun moved from east to west, then sank behind the mountains, and the moon rose again.
You was right, Liu Lieyu hasn't returned yet, so Luo must have kept him there.
But where is You? As night deepened, my anxiety grew. Why hasn't You come yet?
"Xin'er." "Master!"
Suddenly, two voices I knew all too well came from behind me. I turned around and there were You and Feng Su behind me.
My eyes reddened, and tears welled up in my eyes. Finally, I could finally go out.
You helped Feng Su up, and I turned my gaze to Feng Su. Feng Su's face was a little pale, and her golden hair was not as dazzling as before, but she had a satisfied smile on her face. "Master, I missed you so much."
I got up from the floor and rushed to Feng Su, wanting to hug her tightly, but I was worried about her injuries.
"Feng Su, I'm so sorry." I looked at Feng Su's bloodless face and felt a deep sorrow in my heart.
"Master, don't say that." Feng Su smiled, leaving You's support, and reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of my eyes. "Master, I'm fine, don't worry about me." After saying that, Feng Su even turned around in front of me.
"Feng Su, let's leave now." I wiped away my tears. Now is not the time to cry; we should leave quickly.
"You, which way do we go?" I stepped forward and helped the somewhat weak Feng Su.
"Hold my hand." You stretched out a hand and let me hold it.
"Okay." I took You's hand without hesitation.
