"What did you say?"
Yun Tianmo's body trembled slightly, a hint of surprise flashing across his face as he looked at Ouyang Zixin, who was sitting on the ground with her lips pouted. Seeing her mumbling about something, he hurriedly asked again, "What did you just say about the Earth?"
Ouyang Zixin looked up at him, her beautiful eyes blinking as she pondered for a moment before slapping her thigh and saying, "Oh, you mean that? What I meant is that nothing in this world will stop because of you. The Earth, well, that's just a way of saying it; it's not anything special."
Seeing her obvious attempt to cover up her words, Yun Tianmo couldn't help but laugh in anger. He never intended to argue with her about what the "Earth" was; he merely wanted to hear her original words again.
"The Earth keeps turning even without you?" Ouyang Zixin didn't understand why Yun Tianmo insisted on her repeating it. However, since it wasn't a big deal, she decided to say it again.
On the other hand, the Small Stone Box in front of her seemed to be somewhat troublesome. If Yun Tianmo refused to help, she didn't know how long it would take to figure it out. She needed to quickly understand why it was displaying misleading images and what changes she vaguely sensed in the Small Stone Box.
"Did you get this Small Stone Box from the Millennium Ruins?" Zhao Feiyu thought Ouyang Zixin's earlier words made some sense, but she couldn't figure it out at the moment. So she decided not to dwell on it. After all, judging by Yun Tianmo's expression, he must have thought of something too. It was better to get closer to Ouyang Zixin for now.
Glancing at Zhao Feiyu, who had come closer, Ouyang Zixin previously thought of her as merely a ruthless noblewoman with a somewhat dull mind. But now, how had she become so familiar? Reflecting on the last time Sito Rongyan's wedding caused such a commotion, Zhao Feiyu had also appeared and said some nonsensical things to her. Looking back now, it seemed she had received news first while Ouyang Zixin was lagging behind.
Seeing Zhao Feiyu approaching, Yun Tianmo felt it was inconvenient to talk much with Ouyang Zixin. He discreetly communicated that he would go visit Yun Tianying and then turned to leave.
At this point, Ouyang Zixin had temporarily smoothed over the knot in her heart. She wasn't a clingy woman; if he had things to do, so be it. Besides, there were still some matters she needed to clarify here. It also seemed somewhat inconvenient in front of Yun Tianmo. Thus, she pondered the changes in the Small Stone Box while engaging in casual conversation with Zhao Feiyu.
"Why do you all know about Sovereign wanting to arrange a marriage?"
"This is not a secret; usually, only the parties involved are kept in the dark." Zhao Feiyu clearly scoffed at Ouyang Zixin's question. Isn't this kind of trick common among the Nobility? Even the Sovereign is no exception. This is what they call making decisions after the fact, and with her high status, by the time you want to resist, there won't be any time left.
Ouyang Zixin shot her a glance and retorted, "It's easy for you to say; I’m afraid your family's shadow is all over this."
Ouyang Zixin hit the nail on the head, and Zhao Feiyu felt a bit embarrassed. With a chuckle, she brushed off nonexistent dust from her sleeve and said, "That can't be entirely true. Encouraging and helping someone along is just a matter of perspective; after all, the Nameless Zhao Family is also a subject of the Sovereign. So, well, you understand."
Understand?
Understand what nonsense.
With a snap, Ouyang Zixin opened and closed the lid of the Small Stone Box again. This time it was clearly different, which made her temporarily too busy to deal with Zhao Feiyu. She waved her hand at her, signaling her to hold off on speaking.
Zhao Feiyu was naturally curious about the Small Stone Box. Although she didn't know what Ouyang Zixin had discovered, she wisely fell silent for now since there was nothing more to discuss on the previous topic.
Ripples appeared on the surface of the Mirror Guardian, much denser than before, and this time no light shone through. If Ouyang Zixin hadn't been paying close attention and noticed the change just as she was about to close the lid again, she might have missed it.
On the mirror's surface, ripples spread outward in waves, and it seemed like something new had appeared. However, because the ripples were too dense, Ouyang Zixin frowned and stared intently for quite some time but still couldn't discern what it was.
Seeing Ouyang Zixin staring at the mirror without saying anything for a long while and unable to figure out what was going on, Zhao Feiyu couldn't help but mutter softly, "You're going to stare a hole in that mirror; what exactly are you looking at?"
"There's something on it, but the ripples are spreading too quickly. I..." Ouyang Zixin reflexively responded to Zhao Feiyu's question but realized something was off halfway through. She quickly turned her head and pointed at the Mirror Guardian asking her, "You only see a mirror?"
Could it be that different people see different things?
Zhao Feiyu was first startled by her sudden reaction, and after a moment of hesitation, he nodded and said, "Isn't it just a mirror? What else could it be?"
He really couldn't understand what was so fascinating about a mirror that she could stare at it for so long. It made him think that Ouyang Zixin had found some treasure, which was quite disappointing.
"How is that possible!"
A sharp scream broke the silence in the air. Ouyang Zixin and Zhao Feiyu frowned simultaneously and looked over at Baike, wondering what was wrong with her again.
"White Maiden, don't be anxious, just listen," Yun Tianying felt somewhat displeased with Baike's outburst but didn’t show it on his face. He could only continue to speak gently to calm her down. Although he also found Yun Tianmo's statement hard to believe, he wasn’t about to scream like Baike.
Yun Tianmo shot a glance at Baike. He never liked this woman and wanted her to back off, but Yun Tianying stopped him with a look. Now, he merely stated that the Beautiful Scenery Without Form probably didn’t need anyone to trigger it; it was always changing on its own. With her behavior, she truly looked ridiculous.
Baike certainly realized she had acted out of line, but she still couldn’t accept it because it was she who triggered the Beautiful Scenery Without Form. The abundant Mysterious Energy from the Lake Center would belong to her. Now that Yun Tianmo casually mentioned that the Beautiful Scenery Without Form didn’t require anyone to activate it, didn’t that mean she was no different from others and had lost any special connection? How could she remain calm after that?
"What is she screaming about?" Zhao Feiyu looked at Baike as if she were an idiot. Couldn’t she see that these two men didn’t care about her at all? Yet she shamelessly kept calling out for Tian Ying, completely disregarding her outsider status in front of their brotherhood.
Ouyang Zixin sneered and said, "Who knows? Maybe she's been stimulated by something."
If you care so much, why don’t you go check on her?
Zhao Feiyu was infuriated by Ouyang Zixin's eye roll and immediately returned the gesture. She wouldn’t go check; she would rather watch Ouyang Zixin fiddling with the Small Stone Box, than join an idiot in making a fuss. (To be continued.)
