"Junior brother? What's wrong with you?"
Yan Huailiu didn't notice anything unusual about him and thought he was suddenly choked by his saliva.
Baili Changhuan wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and looked up at him: "What now?"
"What now?" Yan Huailiu was trying to find a teapot to pour him some water.
"I'm asking, are you feeling unwell right now?" Baili Changhuan asked in a cold voice.
Yan Huailiu shook the empty teapot and said, "No, why don't you have any water?"
Baili Changhuan said nothing, just observing his expression, trying to judge whether he was lying.
It took him a long time to look away, he took the kettle and put it aside, then stood up.
"Come out with me."
He was the first to go out.
Yan Huailiu was confused and didn't know what was wrong with his junior brother today.
"Where is your sword? Take it out." Baili Changhuan said coldly.
"Junior brother, can we spar another day? I really have a lot of things to do today." Yan Huailiu was in no mood to continue arguing with him.
Baili Changhuan didn't waste any time and just picked up his sword and attacked.
Yan Huailiu retreated half a step, and Wen Yue automatically appeared in his hand, blocking several attacks effortlessly.
He also did not forget to persuade his junior fellow apprentice: "I know you are angry, but I have explained to you the matter of Xingyun. I can't let him leave before the matter is resolved. Since he has become my disciple, I can't just ignore him."
He held his sword horizontally and blocked Baili Changhuan's attack.
"It's getting late. I guess he doesn't even have a bed to sleep on. Besides, he hasn't eaten anything. I have to bring him something to eat."
He reluctantly deflected Baili Changhuan's sword, caught it before it hit the ground, and handed it back: "Alright, you lose this time too."
Baili Changhuan glared at him and muttered softly, "No problem."
"If there's no problem, I'll go back." Yan Huailiu looked impatient.
"What I'm saying is that there's absolutely no problem with your cultivation, and there's no restriction on your use of spiritual power," Baili Changhuan explained. "I'm not saying you can leave."
"Junior brother, if you continue to act so weird, I'll be angry." Yan Huailiu was anxious.
"You still have the nerve to be angry." Baili Changhuan snatched the sword angrily and walked into the house.
Yan Huailiu followed reluctantly.
At first glance, I saw a large round mirror lying flat on the table.
Baili Changhuan extended his hand and beckoned: "Come here and explain to me what's going on."
Yan Huailiu blinked: "What is this?"
"Qian Kun Yin Yang Mirror, you wouldn't have forgotten even this, would you?"
Yan Huailiu stared at the slowly moving golden dot in the middle and said confidently, "Yes, I forgot."
Baili Changhuan pushed the mirror directly between the two of them and said, "Stretch out your hand, and don't take your eyes away from it."
Although Yan Huailiu was confused, he still did as he was told.
Baili Changhuan still input his spiritual power, but this time he was much more cautious.
Yan Huailiu stared at the small golden light the whole time. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but the light seemed quite warm.
Just as he was about to look away, the golden light shook violently a few times, and the light dimmed a lot.
Baili Changhuan's stool moved backwards, making a harsh sound.
Yan Huailiu looked up in confusion, not understanding what was going on.
Baili Changhuan covered his chest and coughed a few times: "Did you see it?"
"It...seems to have dimmed for a moment."
Yan Huailiu pointed at the mirror and answered.
"It wasn't just once, it was several times. The night before your birthday, I thought I was seeing things."
Baili Changhuan frowned and continued, "But it also happened on the night of the birthday banquet, and... yesterday, too."
Yan Huailiu said nothing, just looked at him in confusion.
"Do you know what this means?" Baili Changhuan said with a serious expression.
Yan Huailiu shook his head.
"This small dot of light in the Qiankun Yin-Yang Mirror represents you. It can find your location if you go missing and display your survival status."
"If the light stays on, it means you're alive and well. If it dims, it means...something's wrong with you."
Baili Changhuan put it tactfully.
Yan Huailiu was a little confused: "What's the problem? There's nothing wrong with me."
"There's an aura within you that doesn't belong to you. Didn't you notice?" Baili Changhuan's eyes were filled with worry. "I can't get close at all, and I can't see clearly what it is."
"It hasn't caused your cultivation to decline, nor has it suppressed the normal operation of your spiritual power. However, the fact that this thing has dimmed means that it is very likely eroding your life."
The room was quiet for a long time.
Yan Huailiu's mind went blank and it took him a long time to regain his senses.
The first thing he did was to close his eyes and check the situation inside his body, but after looking around, he found nothing.
"Is there something wrong?" He reached out and tapped the mirror. "This thing has been there for so long, maybe there's something wrong with it."
"There will be no problem with it." Baili Changhuan took the small package that had been on the table, opened it and handed it to Yan Huailiu.
"I knew this would happen. I knew..."
He hammered the table lightly: "I've been on guard, afraid that you'd run out and cause trouble, why is it still like this?"
Yan Huailiu stared at the small box in his hand: "Junior brother, what are you talking about?"
Ever since he arrived at Wuya Peak, he had always felt like he was guessing a riddle.
"Master left me a letter earlier."
Baili Changhuan said softly, "He told me a lot of things in the letter, one of which was to be careful around the time of your birthday party this year, as accidents could easily happen."
Yan Huailiu's heartbeat began to quicken as he listened carefully to what he was saying.
"Heh, I thought the accident was something that happened between you two, but I didn't expect it to be this."
Baili Changhuan couldn't bear to look him in the eye. "Master said in the letter that if you encounter a problem I can't solve, you should give this box to me."
Yan Huailiu held up a box that was only as big as his palm: "What is this?"
"I don't know. I can't open it. If the master gives something to someone, only that person knows how to open it. You figure it out yourself."
After Baili Changhuan finished speaking, he continued to ask, "Do you really not know what's wrong with your body?"
Yan Huailiu's eyes swept over the Qiankun Yin-Yang Mirror and shook his head: "I don't know, Junior Brother, I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere."
He had his own guesses about the letter that Baili Changhuan mentioned, but he couldn't tell his junior brother about it.
He was aware of his physical condition, and he didn't feel anything wrong when the small light dimmed.
But he was indeed curious about this box.
"Junior brother, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first. Don't worry, maybe this thing has gone wrong, don't be nervous."
He stood up and prepared to leave, and Baili Changhuan almost yelled at him.
"The Qiankun Yin-Yang Mirror never makes mistakes! Do you really need me to explain this? If it dims a few more times, you'll probably die!"
