Li Mingke was still looking around in the Xuanfang Mirror, unaware that a bloody storm was already brewing outside.
"Hand over my wife!"
The appearance of Demon Lord Luan Hua shocked the entire immortal sect.
"You audacious demon lord, how dare you disturb the immortal sect!"
"Do you intend to disrupt the balance between the realms of immortals and demons?"
"You dared to come alone? It seems you've already prepared yourself for the worst!"
The elders of the immortal sects all adopted a tense posture, ready to fight at any time in the face of Demon Lord Luan Hua.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Immortal Venerable Jinyun has arrived!"
"Immortal Venerable Jinyun!"
"Excellent! Immortal Venerable Jinyun, defeat the Demon Lord!"
The disciples cheered, the appearance of Immortal Venerable Jinyun undoubtedly giving them a boost of excitement.
In everyone's eyes, Immortal Venerable Jinyun was omnipotent. Even Demon Lord Luan Hua, who was only one step away from ascending to immortality, could only tremble in his presence.
Jinyun Immortal Venerable was dressed in a simple white robe, without any adornment, which contrasted sharply with Luan Hua, who was dressed entirely in black.
"What brings you here?" Jinyun asked calmly, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
"Ha, you're asking me? Don't you even think about what you've done! Hand over my wife, Hanmi!"
Upon hearing Ban Jian's name, Jin Yun Immortal Venerable's heart skipped a beat, cracks finally appeared on his face, and his eyes were filled with pain. He fell from the high clouds and became an ordinary person with emotions and desires.
"I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't have the person you're looking for here."
Jinyun Immortal Venerable felt that Demon Venerable Luan Hua was simply being unreasonable.
If Ban Jian were truly in the immortal sect, he would have already...
How dare the Demon Lord try to snatch someone away?
"Please return, Demon Lord."
The Immortal Venerable Jinyun instructed his disciples to see the guests off.
Demon Lord Luan Hua stared intently at him, "Immortal Venerable Jinyun, could you have hidden someone away? I know you have some perverse tastes, like hiding someone away to raise them for a few years, bleeding them out, and then discarding them when they're no longer useful."
Although the Demon Lord said this with a smile, he revealed a bloodthirsty expression.
"Luan Hua!"
Immortal Venerable Jinyun finally couldn't listen anymore.
"If you continue to spout nonsense, go find a teahouse and become a storyteller. Our immortal sect cannot tolerate such rumors!"
Jinyun Immortal's eyes turned cold.
"You're feeling guilty now that I've hit the nail on the head?" Demon Lord Luan Hua raised an eyebrow.
"Incomprehensible!" Jinyun Immortal Venerable, not wanting to get entangled any further, flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.
After taking a few steps, he stopped again, without turning around. He simply lowered his head slightly, his shoulders slumped, and his voice was low and slow. "You know, I didn't intend to do that at the time."
The elders and disciples around them were at a loss, not understanding what kind of riddle their most respected immortal was playing with the demon lord.
Demon Lord Luan Hua simply clicked his tongue.
Finally, Demon Lord Luan Hua shouted at Immortal Venerable Jinyun, "Aren't you currently conducting your inner court assessments? As a representative of the Demon Realm, you would welcome me to attend, wouldn't you?"
Jinyun Immortal simply said, "Whatever you say."
Demon Lord Luan Hua's idea was that since he had sensed Ban Jian's aura during the inner court assessment, he would search for him carefully during that time.
He missed her once 17 years ago, but this time, he is determined to find her!
*
Li Mingke had been wandering around in the Xuanfang Mirror for quite some time, but everything around her was shrouded in mist, and she didn't understand the secrets of this Xuanfang Mirror.
After half a day of fruitless searching, she decided to come out first.
How do I know if I've passed this test?
One of her feet had already stepped out, then her whole body, and finally, she was standing completely outside the mirror.
She faced the mirror, which was as tall as a person, once again.
At this moment, the image reflected in the mirror is that of a young gentleman with rosy lips and white teeth.
I don't understand, let's go.
Li Mingke thought to herself, she really couldn't understand the meaning of this final test. If, after she left, Immortal Venerable Jinyun told her that she had failed, she wouldn't be surprised. Perhaps the Xuanfang Mirror held some secret, but she simply lacked the talent to comprehend it.
And so, Li Mingke finished his assessment.
Meanwhile, Immortal Venerable Jinyun was already waiting for her at the exit.
This was the first time Li Mingke had met the Immortal Venerable Jinyun.
Tall and slender, with a white robe that accentuated his ethereal beauty, not to mention his stunningly beautiful face, especially his compassionate eyes.
For some reason, Li Mingke felt as if her heart was being pricked by needles, a dense, persistent pain. It wasn't a sudden sting, but rather a gradual, insidious pain that seeped in from all directions.
She took a deep breath.
With his hands clasped on his forehead, Li Mingke slowly knelt down, bowed deeply to Immortal Jinyun, and said, "Disciple Li Mingke greets Master."
The moment Li Mingke saw Immortal Venerable Jinyun, she knew in her heart that she had passed the test. If she hadn't passed, there would have been no need for Immortal Venerable Jinyun to come and see her in person.
Jinyun Immortal Venerable lowered his eyes, looking at the girl prostrate on the ground in front of him.
She was quite slender, not like a boy in his growth period. Her hair was tied up with a silver hair crown, and it was clear that her hair was very fine and soft. Bamboo was embroidered on the edge of her clothes, which matched her overall temperament. At a glance, there were five or six high-grade magic artifacts that could be seen, which was enough to show the family's high regard and love for her.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Master."
Li Mingke stood up and looked at Jinyun Immortal.
Jinyun Immortal Venerable had not originally intended to take on a disciple, but after emerging from seclusion, the elders told him that he must accept this disciple. The Li family sent word that they did not have any high requirements, just keeping her by his side would be fine, even if it was just to serve him tea and water. Moreover, the Li family sent many treasures, the most precious of which was the Snow Lotus Grass, which would greatly help his ascension.
Jinyun Immortal Venerable believed that the Immortal Sect only accepted him as a disciple because they valued the gift from the Li family. After all, the Snow Lotus Grass had not been seen for hundreds of years, and everyone thought it was extinct. Unexpectedly, the Li family still had one.
Fine, I'll just keep it with me as a charm.
Jinyun Immortal Venerable was thinking this, but when he saw Li Mingke's eyes, he was stunned.
The same look in her eyes as the girl in my memory.
"you!"
He suddenly grabbed Li Mingke's shoulder, startling him.
He realized his lapse in composure and lowered his hand.
"Are your eyes naturally like this?"
"Yes...yes!" Jinyun Immortal's anxious and incredulous tone made Li Mingke think that something serious had happened.
"Is there something wrong with my eyes... Master?" She touched her eyes, puzzled.
Jinyun Immortal Venerable also calmed down, "I'm sorry, your eyes look a bit like an old friend of mine, I lost my composure."
"……fine."
Yes, how could that be?
Half of her eyes were exquisite, but these were just ordinary eyes.
The exquisite eyes were proof that Ban Jian and he were a match made in heaven, deeply connected to each other's souls, and would never disappear no matter how many lifetimes they were reborn. They were a pair of eyes that belonged only to him.
Ban Jian was a wife bestowed upon her by heaven.
