Mirror World

On the roof of a tall restaurant in the distance, two old men were standing there, looking quietly in the direction of Li Yanxiu.

"Why, have you become stingy?" Zhang Zhi teased.

Li Ao held the full wine glass in his hand but did not take a sip. He quietly looked at the scene of Li Yanxiu and the couple hugging each other.

"Yeah, that's a bit stingy. But without them, I wouldn't be able to see Yan'er."

Li Ao showed a rare moment of calmness, but it disappeared as he drank the wine in his hand.

"Drink! Drink!" Li Ao turned around and went back to his seat to pour wine.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhi smiled and returned to his seat to drink.

On Li Yanxiu's side, the adventure hunters who, like Jie and Fuye, had received wanted orders from the Contract Palace also found their rendezvous destination. The five adventure hunters all carried a lot of killing techniques [tools] such as guns, swords, knives, axes, hammers, and puppets. They were all experienced adventure hunters.

"Jie! Fuye! You two are the slowest now, come over quickly and join us." The five adventure hunters in the distance shouted to Jie and Fuye.

Jie: "Got it! We'll meet up soon." Jie responded loudly to the adventure hunters.

Fuye stroked Li Yanxiu's face with both hands, "Little crybaby, ... No, my child, let's stop here today, we should leave."

Jie: "Goodbye, little crybaby. We will definitely come back to see you after we finish this commission."

Li Yanxiu's happy smile still revealed reluctance.

"Goodbye, Dad, Mom, you must come back."

"Yeah! I'll be back." Fuye wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Jie and Fuye waved goodbye and turned to walk towards the team. Even after such a long conversation, the two were still reluctant to leave and looked back every few steps as when they first met.

After returning to the team, Jie and Fuye looked back at Li Yanxiu for the last time and waved for the last time. As the team went farther and farther away, Jie and Fuye gradually disappeared into the darkness of the night.

……

Tang Huan and Tang Qingwen are here.

The two of them ate two Mirror Spirit Ambers which were a thousand years old, and took the purchased medicinal herbs as an aid. After taking them, the two of them were in a state of Mirror Spirit leakage from this morning till evening. Tang Huan and Tang Qingwen endured the burning sensation brought by the Mirror Spirit Amber while controlling the Mirror Spirit from moving out.

With their hands together, the mirror spirits condensed by the two people slowly disappeared, and gradually the mirror spirits on their bodies also dimmed, and their faces changed from red to normal skin color.

"How's Xiaowen? Did you get promoted?"

"Well, I've been promoted, look!" Tang Qingwen then released a large amount of lightning with one hand. The lightning crackled and the shining light illuminated the entire room.

Tang Huan smiled with relief, "That's good."

Tang Qingwen put away the lightning in his hand, and the dazzling light in the room also dissipated.

But Tang Qingwen frowned, looking worried and sad.

"Brother, you heard it today, right? Our enemy is called 'Yan Yue!' He is a fourth-level Grandmaster. Just the two of us... the gap is too big."

"Xiao Wen, don't think about how to kill Yan Yue now. We must try our best to hide that we are the survivors of "Qingping Village." Tang Huan said very calmly.

Because Tang Qingwen was in a coma at the time, he didn't know what Yan Yue left behind when he left.

"Brother, your reaction at that time allowed me to guess that you didn't want to admit that you had met Yan Yue, but why did we have to hide that we were the survivors of Qingping Village?"

Tang Huan explained in a somewhat dull tone: "You were still in a coma at that time, so you couldn't hear what Yan Yue said when he left."

"Brother! What are you talking about? Why do you look so powerless?"

Tang Huan sat down and said weakly: "Ah, the emperor, he said this is the emperor's intention."

Tang Qingwen's pupils shrank in shock. He felt that this was impossible. "It's impossible! Brother, that man is the greatest hero in the history of this country. He unified the five divided countries and ended the civil war for more than 800 years. How could such a person be possible!"

"It must be a lie from Yan Yue, brother! You won't believe it so easily."

"I really didn't believe it at first, but when I heard that the Contract Court knew that Yan Yue had massacred ordinary people in a village and committed treason, but only issued a warrant a month later, I found it very suspicious."

Tang Qingwen's eyes widened in shock. "Why...why? Brother, you only know this little bit of information. Why do you think what he said is true?"

"I think... the Contract Court is giving Yan Yue some time to escape, and then pretend to fulfill his obligations." Tang Huan's face was calm as he seriously thought about the reason.

Although Tang Qingwen felt that his brother's explanation had some basis, he was still a little dumbfounded. "Brother, although what you said makes sense, what good would it be for the emperor to massacre our village? And why did he mention the emperor? This... I always feel that it makes sense and it doesn't make sense at the same time."

"Corpses! They should be the bodies of all the dead people in our village."

Tang Qingwen suddenly realized something. He seemed to understand a little. "Brother! What you mean is..."

"Xiao Wen, do you remember? When we went back to look for Dad's body, there were so many people dead in the village but we couldn't find a single body. In addition, Yan Yue knew that the two of us were still alive, but he didn't let any assassins hunt us down. So my guess is!"

"...The man the emperor ordered Yan Yue to kill has already been killed. He is among those missing bodies."

Tang Qingwen finally came to his senses, "Brother! What you mean is that there is someone in our village who threatens the emperor, and he has been killed by Yan Yue. The disappeared body was just taken back by Yan Yue to check whether the person was killed. Yan Yue mentioned the emperor to transfer the hatred to the emperor and warn us! It is this country that wants us to die, don't even think about going against the country!"

Tang Huan sighed, "Well... maybe. After all, it's just a reasonable explanation. If it was really the emperor who ordered Yan Yue to kill everyone in our village... then the two of us really can't take revenge on the country... but! We can still hunt down Yan Yue."

Tang Huan still sighed, (;一_一)

"But... how can we take revenge? The wanted order issued by the Contract Palace is just a cover to persuade the people. If the adventure hunters catch Yan Yue, they will just hand him over to the Contract Guards. At that time, Yan Yue may be secretly protected by the Contract Guards. After all... they are all in the same group."

"I don't know either, brother." Tang Qingwen was a little dejected. "After we are promoted to the Spiritual Martial Level, our master will leave. At that time, we are still two levels away from the Grandmaster Level! Without a teacher to teach us and without better resources, this... this is also a big challenge!"
