"Hey, aren't you going to save him?"
The magic mirror asked.
Magic Mirror was a random name she gave it.
It discovered that she was not heading towards the back mountain of Yaowang Valley at all.
"If you don't save him, he might die, and then you won't be able to complete the mission."
The tone of voice of this ghost thing is quite similar to the tone of voice of the ghost in the dream.
Xu Lingyi looked at it suspiciously.
"If you die, then die. At worst, I'll return you. I don't really care about you."
She spoke deliberately.
"But you will fail the mission."
The magic mirror was a little anxious: "How could you do this?"
Xu Lingyi stopped and said, "I wonder how big the mountain behind Yaowang Valley is? You said you could only answer three questions for me every day, and I don't know his exact location. How can I find him? Is it like looking for a needle in a haystack?"
She tried.
This magic mirror looked even more anxious than she was, maybe she could control it.
"Isn't it enough that I allow you to ask one more question? Go find him now. If he dies or is killed by a wild beast, then you will lose more than you gain. Not only will you lose all these treasures, including me, but you will also die."
It wanted to make Xu Lingyi feel urgent, but it was clearly the one who felt urgent.
“So you can ask four questions a day.”
Xu Lingyi looked at the mirror in her hand with a half-smile, "Why did you say before that you could only ask three questions? Is there any truth in your words?"
The magic mirror felt guilty, "I'm only allowing you to ask four questions out of kindness, so don't push your luck."
"How many questions can I ask? If you don't tell me, I'll throw you to the ground and have you torn into pieces."
Xu Lingyi smiled gloomily, looking like a typical villain.
The magic mirror was a little scared.
"Okay, okay, five questions a day at most. That's really my limit. Any more and my energy depletion will be severe."
Xu Lingyi could tell that this was probably the truth.
"Well, isn't it enough for you to be so obedient earlier? I am your master now, so you have to be obedient, okay?"
The magic mirror looked at her smiling face, but the hand holding the mirror seemed to be loose and not quite loose, so it knew that she was threatening.
It nodded quickly, very obediently, "I know, I know, Master."
After having a "friendly exchange" with the magic mirror, she went straight home.
Realizing that this was still not the direction of the back mountain, the magic mirror quickly spoke, "Master, didn't we just say that we can help you determine his location? You still have two questions left today."
Xu Lingyi didn't change direction, "I'm hungry, it's dark now, I don't want to go."
She spoke with confidence.
Magic Mirror: “…”
"But what if something happens to him?" it stammered.
Xu Lingyi sneered, "Didn't you say he was the son of destiny? If that's the case, how could he die so easily?"
"Even if he really died, it's just his bad luck. What does it have to do with me?"
The magic mirror was a little angry, "You...you...you liar, you clearly promised me."
"What did I promise? Are you mine or that Zhao Yun's? If you don't obey me, I will really hit you."
The magic mirror didn't dare to say another word.
It lost its memory and didn't know what it had done before.
All it knew was that it came here to help the woman in front of it complete her mission, and it knew that they shared a common interest.
If she fails to complete the mission, she will die.
It actually liked her quite a bit and didn't want to kill her.
So it wanted her to complete the task.
But now, this person is not reliable at all.
Thinking of this, it felt so aggrieved that it wanted to cry.
"What's wrong with you? Can a mirror cry?"
Xu Lingyi felt it was a little strange and didn't want to pay any attention to it at first, so she decided to teach it a lesson.
But the mirror really made her upset.
"Don't cry, I remember the mission. Not saving him now doesn't mean I won't go tomorrow. A guy like him will definitely have no problem holding up through the night."
"I have my own plans. People must endure hardship to remember kindness. If I had just saved him from danger, how could that have been etched in his memory and made him realize who his benefactor was?"
The magic mirror sobbed, and its eyes lit up: "It sounds... like it makes sense."
Seeing that the ghost mirror finally stopped crying, Xu Lingyi felt relieved.
It can still understand human language.
"And look at me, I'm just a weak woman. Saving him doesn't mean sacrificing myself. It's already dark, and I don't dare to go to the back mountain casually."
"My master raised me and took care of me until I was this old. I have to live well and take care of my master until his death, so I can't die easily, you know."
Her words made the magic mirror feel guilty instantly, and it even dared not look at her again.
The magic mirror nodded obediently: "I'm sorry, I was wrong. You are much smarter than me. I will listen to you from now on."
Xu Lingyi couldn't help but laugh, "Good boy."
When she returned, she unexpectedly saw her second brother who had not been back for a long time.
"Second Brother."
Xu Lingyi was extremely happy and ran towards her second senior brother excitedly.
The master has four disciples in total. She is the youngest, and she has an older sister and two older brothers.
"Yier."
"Second Brother, you are finally back."
"I was supposed to be back a month ago, but I encountered an accident along the way."
He reached out and touched her head lovingly.
"What accident?" Xu Lingyi was curious.
All her senior sisters and brothers had left the valley, but she was the only one who stayed in the valley. She only sneaked out once or twice without letting her master know.
