Owner?
Zhong Yan felt helpless. Her sudden seriousness made her a little uncomfortable! This feeling was strange no matter how you looked at it, so she subconsciously took a few steps back to increase the distance between them.
"Um, Bai Xi, you'd better stick to your aloof persona from before."
"Your subordinate is guilty!" Bai Xi's tone remained firm, his eyes filled with barely concealed excitement as he looked at her. "Your subordinate should not have failed to recognize you, Master. Please forgive me."
She is her own master!
That makes sense. Even if the Five-Colored Stone is easy to manipulate, it shouldn't be to the point where it's impossible to tell who its owner is. She should have noticed something when she first came in.
Although she didn't know why her master had become Zhong Yan, she clearly felt that earth-shattering power within her body just now!
Zhong Yan was a little embarrassed: "Ahem, can you talk this out? Why are you acting like this? It really scared me. Let me tell you, you are a great god from ancient legends, you don't need to act like this."
"Master, it's been so many years..."
"No! Stop! I'm not your master." Zhong Yan quickly stopped her, afraid that she would suddenly go berserk and kill her!
She had seen Bai Xi's arrogance, and it was impossible for her not to be moved at all! But, seeing her humble and submissive manner, Zhong Yan felt more uncomfortable than anything else.
Besides, how could she not know her own background?
She even suspected that her rebirth was not only due to the five-colored stone, but more likely because of the chaos in the underworld and the treasure she possessed, so she accidentally emerged.
In fact, it couldn't possibly be that easy!
Bai Xi stared at her intently, afraid of missing her in the blink of an eye: "Master, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it, as long as I admit it! I was wondering why the Xuanming Token ended up in your hands, and why you brought those souls back. It was all because of your compassion."
What?!
What compassion?
Zhong Yan felt that she didn't have that thing, especially after she said it like that, she found it even harder to accept! The main thing was that when she thought about those souls, she did seem to have a strange feeling, and when she encountered them, she naturally absorbed them.
Seeing this, Bai Xi continued, "Master, you may not have realized it yourself! But what I want to tell you is that some things are innate, even destined. Now that you have entered the Five-Colored Stone and have many abilities, you must try to repair the Eastern Emperor Bell."
"What is the Eastern Emperor Bell?!" Zhong Yan was about to explode: "Don't tell me that the fall of Fengdu City and the rampant ghosts are all related to this thing! Even if you tell me, I won't believe you."
"To be more precise, it's related to you." Bai Xi nodded and said very seriously, "I was wondering what was going on when I felt the tremor and suddenly I found that my Five-Colored Stone Barrier had been broken and you were already in front of me."
"so what?"
"So, perhaps it's because of your rebirth that all of this is happening now! After all, everything was fine before this." Bai Xi said each word with great seriousness, "Also, if you don't believe me, I can prove it again! Of course, after all, you are my master."
"Ha! You mean if I don't acknowledge myself as your master, you'll just abandon me?"
