In a mere second, Master Xuankong retreated eighteen steps, his face filled with shock.
Holy crap! Holy crap!!
He said tremblingly, "Disciple, don't joke, it's not funny at all."
Lin Xi smiled, "Master, I'm not joking."
In Master Xuan Kong's eyes, his disciple curled his lips, unintentionally revealing a hint of madness, much like a hidden villain in a movie.
She approached step by step, her smile gradually turning sinister. "Master, I am the last fragment."
Master Xuankong was forced to retreat to a corner, his back pressed against the wall, the Soul-Hooking Lock in his hand trembling.
Oh no, I was careless!
The fragment controlled the disciple, lured him away from the underworld, and then stabbed him to death when the two met alone.
No, I can't back down.
He is Bai Wuchang, the only Bai Wuchang in the world.
My disciple needs him, and the world needs him!
Master Xuankong roared, "Evil artifact! I'll fight you to the death! Give me back my beloved disciple!"
"Ah—hit!"
Lin Xi caught the Soul-Hooking Lock with her bare hands, and sighed helplessly, "Master, what are you doing?"
"Evil creatures are not worthy to call me master!" Master Xuankong roared, his eyes reddening.
"I only have one apprentice!"
"Give me back my disciple!!"
The teacher-student relationship is touching, but he mistook the right person for someone else; what's so touching about that?
Lin Xi was speechless. "Take a good look at who I am."
“I see it very clearly.” Master Xuankong raised the Soul-Hooking Lock, his eyes filled with “wisdom”.
"Evil creature, prepare to die!!"
Without hesitation, Lin Xi struck, elbowing her master to the ground and then pulling out a talisman to slap him on the forehead.
Master Xuan Kong was startled.
The familiar moves, the familiar talismans—it was definitely his rebellious disciple.
Master Xuankong refused to admit that he had mistaken someone for someone else. He angrily cursed, "You tried to fool me, how could I not recognize my own dear disciple?"
Lin Xi looked disgusted. "Stop being so mushy. I'm talking to you about serious matters. Don't go crazy anymore."
"Alright." Master Xuankong became serious in a second. "Disciple, you are a fragment. What proof do you have?"
Lin Xi let go of him and slowly explained, "I'm just unlucky by nature; I'm always getting struck by lightning."
"It didn't split me, it shattered my fragments."
"The fragments are ancient evil artifacts of extreme wickedness and yin, which have a significant impact on the world. Heaven hates such things."
"Because I carry the aura of fragments, I always get struck by lightning; I have extremely bad luck."
Master Xuan Kong recalled, "When I found you by the stream, I was almost burned by the yin energy on you; that was the power of fragments."
Lin Xi hummed in agreement and briefly described the Jiang family's affairs, "I am the same kind of person as the idol..."
She was not afraid of the yin energy and was unaffected by the fragments.
Because she is a fragment, the largest one.
The nine fragments only appear beside her when they want to combine.
Master Xuan Kong felt a chill run down his spine. "Disciple, are you a fragment? Or is there a fragment inside your body?"
This is completely different.
If there are fragments inside the body, just remove them.
If she is a fragment, she is destined to stand on the opposite side of humanity, her consciousness will be gradually devoured, turning her into a ruthless killing machine.
Master Xuankong looked worried. "Disciple, tell me."
Lin Xi looked directly into his eyes and said, word by word, "Master, I am being very clear."
She is a fragment!
She is the same kind of being as a deity!
Master Xuankong couldn't believe it. "How could this be?"
"You are my apprentice, with extraordinary talent in mystical arts. At such a young age, you can catch evil spirits and draw talismans."
"That's impossible!"
Lin Xi picked up a shard and placed it in her master's hand, saying, "Feel it."
A chilling aura surged in, striking deep into his soul, causing Master Xuankong to shiver involuntarily.
He had been the White Impermanence for a thousand years, yet he couldn't resist the invasion of Yin energy and had never felt so frustrated.
A nameless rage suddenly surged within me.
Get out! All of you, get out!!
Something's not right; he never gets angry.
Master Xuankong suppressed his anger and flung away the shards.
Lin Xi caught the fragment without feeling it at all, and took a few steps forward.
"Master, look."
"I won't watch! I won't watch!!"
Master Xuankong covered his face, tears welling up in his eyes.
Lin Xi remained calm and continued, "The second fragment left behind by Qian Jin can incite anger."
"Each fragment represents a negative emotion, such as fear, resentment, or murderous intent."
"If the fragments merge, the world will descend into chaos, with killing everywhere. Humans will kill themselves without anyone else having to lift a finger."
Master Xuankong understood this principle, but he didn't accept it. "And you? What are you?"
Lin Xi sighed, "I don't know."
The fragments weren't inside her body; they seemed to have merged into the depths of her soul, becoming one with her.
Lin Xi put away the seven fragments, paused for two seconds, and said, "Master, you can go now. I will handle this matter."
Master Xuankong gripped her arm tightly, his eyes bloodshot. "I'm not leaving! What are you planning to do about this?"
"Master, you can go now."
"Shut up! I'm your master, you must obey me!!"
This was the first time Master Xuankong had lost his temper, demonstrating his authority and imposing presence as a master.
He sniffed and shouted harshly, "If you don't obey, I'll..."
Lin Xi sighed, "Master, stop fooling around."
"I didn't cause any trouble!" Master Xuankong rolled three times on the spot, his eyes wide open, and said fiercely.
"You'd better listen to me, or I'll throw a tantrum and never leave!"
Lin Xi: "..."
My master is still the same master, unchanged.
