Chapter 301: Weird
"Hmph!" Xue Zhirou sneered, a flash of light appeared in her hand, and she took out three tokens.
Yang Chengyu, who had done the attack, couldn't help but change his expression when he saw what she had in her hand!
"My token! How come it's in your hands?!"
"Otherwise, do you think I will give you a chance to leave this secret realm?" Xue Zhirou's originally pretty and beautiful face suddenly twisted.
"How dare you do that to me in the Shadowy Mist Reef? Today is the day you die!"
Inside the barrier, the two Xuantian Sect disciples who were fighting the giant Shadow Nightmare Eel couldn't help but change their expressions after hearing Xue Zhirou's words and seeing the disciple Ling in her hand.
"Junior sister! Don't joke around! Return the token to me now!"
Another Xuantian Sect disciple dodged the attack of the giant Shadow Nightmare eel's sharp teeth and turned his head to the top of the coral cave and shouted, "That's right! Junior Sister! Even if you have any grudges with Senior Brother, you can solve them on your own! Why involve innocent people!"
"Innocent?!" Xue Zhirou played with the token in her hand, looking down at the three people below, "When the two brothers helped him lure me into the trap, why didn't you think about the fact that I am innocent too!"
Xue Zhirou summoned her spiritual power and threw the token in her hand into the Fantasy Abyss a few hundred meters away. Then she said to the three people with a smile, "Now you have no way out. If you don't show your best skills, you will be swallowed by this giant shadow eel~"
"You little bitch! Are you looking for death? Wait and see how I'll deal with you when I get out!"
After Yang Chengyu finished speaking with gritted teeth, he said to the other two, "This little bitch is deliberately trying to kill us today! Don't hide your abilities! Use them now! Otherwise, we will all die here!"
Although the other two Xuantian Sect disciples were unwilling to give in, they had no choice but to use their spiritual power to join forces with Yang Chengyu to fight against the Shadow Nightmare Eel.
Chen Yingjie half-closed his eyes and watched the scene in front of him, then turned his head to look at Xue Zhirou who was looking down with interest, and for a moment he was unsure of what she wanted to do.
Thinking of how miserable Xue Zhirou looked when he saw her at the Shadow Mist Reef before, combined with the few words spoken by the others just now, he had a rough guess in his mind.
only……
No matter it was revenge or something else, why did Xue Zhirou call him over to see this kind of infighting?
What on earth is she up to?
As if she knew what Chen Yingjie was wondering about, Xue Zhirou stared at the fight below and said quietly without turning her head,
"Brother Yingjie, you are wondering why I asked you to come here!"
Xue Zhirou chuckled, "I didn't intend to let anyone know, but Senior Brother Yingjie suddenly sent me a message saying he had something important to discuss with me, so Zhirou suddenly asked you to come over!"
She turned back and looked at Chen Yingjie infatuatedly, "I have had a crush on you since I met Senior Brother Yingjie. I have been thinking about you for just one day. I thought that we could get along slowly in the long run. Even if Senior Brother Yingjie doesn't like me yet, there is still a long way to go..."
Xue Zhirou smiled softly, but a tear ran down her cheek. "Unfortunately, fate plays tricks on us. Senior Brother Yingjie and I are not destined to be together."
She lowered her head so that Chen Yingjie wouldn't see the sadness on her face. When she raised her head again, her face had returned to its expressionless look just now. "Brother Yingjie, what is it that you want to talk to me about? Why don't you tell me? If Zhirou can help, she won't refuse."
"I..." Chen Yingjie pursed his lips, his eyes involuntarily looking towards the barrier below. Yang Chengyu and the other two inside had just swallowed a elixir, and their spiritual power surged. They had already suppressed the arrogance of the giant shadow nightmare eel, and were about to completely control the sea beast.
Chen Yingjie's eyes narrowed, "Otherwise, let's wait until you have dealt with things here before we talk?"
Xue Zhirou followed Chen Yingjie's gaze and glanced sideways. "It's okay. With the abilities of my three senior brothers, if they fight to the death, this giant shadow eel is no match for them. However... I heard that the giant shadow eel's counterattack before death is the most terrifying. I don't know how many of my three senior brothers can get out of this barrier alive."
Xue Zhirou curled the corners of her lips, and her originally naive face now looked extremely cold and sarcastic.
"It's okay, don't worry about them, we'll see what happens later. Brother Yingjie, just tell me what you want to say!"
Chen Yingjie frowned slightly, feeling that Xue Zhirou was very strange today.
However, no matter what Xue Zhirou was up to, this was ultimately their own business. Since Xue Zhirou didn't want to talk about it, he wouldn't ask too much. Now, it was more important for them to deal with their own affairs first.
Chen Yingjie coughed lightly and told the purpose of his visit.
"Are you here to borrow the Shadow Mirror from me?" Xue Zhirou was stunned. She didn't expect that Chen Yingjie would come to her for this.
"Yes, you should have heard about it. The mermaid saint disappeared a few days ago because someone colluded with the mermaids. Now the blame is pointed at the innkeeper Canglan. My brothers and sisters are deeply indebted to Canglan, so we started to investigate the matter. We found some evidence in the side hall, but it is not sufficient. I heard that the Xuantian Sect's secret treasure, the Shadow Mirror, can trace back to the past and trace the source. So I dared to ask you to borrow the Shadow Mirror to restore the scene on the day the saint disappeared and clear Canglan's name..."
"Innocent..." Hearing these two words, Xue Zhirou's eyes suddenly became a little distracted, and she murmured in a low voice, "Innocent..."
"what?"
Xue Zhirou's voice was very soft, but the sounds of fighting and the roars of sea beasts below were incessant, so Chen Yingjie could not hear clearly what Xue Zhirou said.
"nothing……"
Xue Zhirou raised her head and flipped her hand, and suddenly an antique mirror appeared in her hand.
The frame is carved from rare ebony, and the texture on it looks like ancient patterns inlaid in it.
The mirror looks like jade but is not jade. The surface is covered with a layer of light luster. As the surrounding light and shadow change, the mirror surface occasionally shows layers of delicate ripples, as if the water surface is blown by the breeze, or like the river of time is flowing slowly.
Xue Zhirou's slender white fingers gently brushed across the mirror, and there seemed to be a sparkling light in her eyes.
But before Chen Yingjie could see clearly, Xue Zhirou had already raised her head and handed him the mirror with a beautiful smile.
"Here! Take it! This is the Shadow Mirror!"
Chen Yingjie was stunned. He had prepared many speeches and drafts in his mind, but he didn't expect that none of them would be used?
Seeing Chen Yingjie standing there in a daze, Xue Zhirou chuckled, "I was saved by Senior Brother Yingjie and Junior Sister Bai last time, and Zhirou has nothing to repay you. I am just a mirror. Since Senior Brother Yingjie needs you, Zhirou will do her best to help you!"
