When the Xuantian Mirror became completely smooth and clear, Zhao Shuning finally saw the four people in the mirror.
Those four people were extremely good - looking.
There was a woman in a black veil with a black lotus mark between her eyebrows. Every look in her eyes exuded charm.
Sitting below the woman was a monk. Although he was bald, he was extremely handsome. He wore a cassock and held a scepter in his hand, looking like an underground Bodhisattva that people enshrined.
Zhao Shuning looked to the side and couldn't help taking a sharp breath.
What a celestial beauty! How could there be a woman so good - looking? There was a beauty mark between her eyebrows. If one stared at it for a long time, it would seem extremely alluring. The shape of the beauty mark was extremely similar to a red lotus.
"Hmm."
On the right side of the woman, a man gently held her hand. The woman looked at the man beside her.
Zhao Shuning followed her gaze and looked over. At this look, her breath caught in her throat.
Was it her master? No, it wasn't. It was just someone who looked very much like her master. Her master would never be so gentle. His whole body exuded an air of ten - thousand - year - old ice.
Who were the people in the mirror?
"A Li, look. There's a red lotus on this girl's eyebrow. She must be that child," the man said. The corners of his eyes curved slightly, as if he was smiling. His slender eyes were crystal - clear, and his nose, as white as jade, outlined a perfect arc. The man's gray hair was gently tied up, smooth and silky like the finest silk. Under his elegant eyebrows were a pair of soul - stirring deep - blue eyes. As they slowly moved, they were so graceful and elegant. At first glance, he gave an otherworldly feeling.
"Since Ge'er says so, it must be so," the other man replied. He was dressed in a moon - white robe with a few bunches of ink - bamboo embroidered on the hem. He also held a boneless fan in his hand, which concealed a deadly weapon inside. He was truly a celestial being, as if detached from the fetters of the mortal world. Only the celestial palaces in the ninth heaven were worthy of him.
Zhao Shuning was so entranced by this scene that she couldn't help but be lost in it.
Such a man and woman were truly a perfect match in the world. There was only tenderness and doting in the man's eyes when he looked at the woman, and the woman's voice was full of happiness.
How could there be people so good - looking and with such nice voices?
"Hey, little girl, what's your name?"
Zhao Shuning pointed to herself.
The woman in the mirror nodded.
"Senior, my name is—"
"Are you Ye Ling?"
"Ah. Yes."
Zhao Shuning had seen countless beautiful people, but only the woman in the mirror could be called the most beautiful in the world.
"Eldest sister, see? I told you Bu Ran had good luck. Such a beautiful girl is also from our family," the woman said.
The other woman replied, "Yes. People from your Feng family are all extremely good - looking."
The people in the mirror seemed to be sizing up Zhao Shuning.
Zhao Shuning felt uncomfortable under their gazes. She bowed and said, "Senior, I came here and accidentally saw you. It's a pure offense. I hope you won't mind."
Yu Ge smiled gently.
"Little girl, do you want to go back now?"
Zhao Shuning's eyes widened greatly. She even stammered when she spoke.
"You, you—Senior, how did you know?"
How could she mention the word "go back"? Since she came to this plane, she hadn't told anyone where she came from.
"Don't be panicked. By the way, who is the person behind you to you?"
"He is my grandfather."
"Xiao Yezi is your grandfather? It's okay. You see, I've also given guidance on your grandfather's cultivation method. Don't worry. I'm not a bad person."
A bad person? How could there be a bad person so good - looking? Even if she was a bad person, Zhao Shuning would be willing to be deceived by her.
"Senior, do you know how I came here?"
The woman turned back and said gently to the celestial - like man, "A Li, please handle this for me first."
The man nodded gently.
The woman in the black veil said to the monk in the cassock beside her, "Thirteen, take a good look. This is your second elder sister, and she and your good second brother - in - law are blatantly cheating right in front of us."
Hearing this, the monk in the cassock just smiled.
"You're like this again. Among all the elder sisters, you're only the best to this second elder sister. You think everything she does is right."
"Elder sister, don't bully second elder sister."
Zhao Shuning was completely confused by this inexplicable scene.
The woman stepped forward. It seemed that they had almost finished their conversation.
"Sorry for the scene."
Zhao Shuning smiled awkwardly. Then she said, "Senior, do you know why I'm here?"
Yu Ge nodded and gave a charming smile.
Of course she knew. It was because of her and A Li's bloodline that there were corresponding problems in the parallel world where Bu Ran was. Back then, she accidentally lifted the restriction and returned to her previous life. And the situation of the girl in front of her was somewhat similar to hers.
"Senior, how can I go back?"
"Before, I sent a messenger to tell you something. Do you have any impression?"
Zhao Shuning thought for a while.
"Is it that old man?"
Yu Ge nodded. Then she said, "Just go with the flow, and you can go back. Moreover, actually, the you now is the you in the future."
"The me now is the me in the future? What does that mean?"
"You'll understand in the future."
"Senior, I also want to know. If I want to go back, do I need any opportunity?"
"Pieces of the jade flute."
Pieces of the jade flute?
"Senior, the jade flute—"
"Second younger sister, if you don't come, Father won't be able to hold on anymore."
Yu Ge quickly responded. Then she said in a hurry, "If you want to know something about the future, you can wipe the mirror again. But you can only see part of the situation. I won't explain it in detail. I'm busy with something."
As the voice faded away, the mirror surface became blurry again.
The things around Zhao Shuning returned to normal.
Ye Feng said from behind, "Yan'er, try it."
Zhao Shuning said, "Haven't I already tried?"
"You're trying to deceive me. Although I'm a bit old, my eyesight is still good. I know whether you've touched it or not."
Zhao Shuning was about to defend herself but finally said nothing. The senior probably didn't want her to tell others.
"Okay, I know."
"Um."
"Grandpa, can you go out?"
"Ah?"
"Please."
"Then—okay."
Ye Feng gently walked out of the door and closed it behind him. This little girl must want to use the Xuantian Mirror to peek at someone she wanted to see. She would feel a bit embarrassed if he was there.
But had he told this little girl how to use it? He was really getting forgetful as he got older.
