Behind the tree stood none other than Zhao Feiyu, but for some reason, Ouyang Zixin claimed it was Yun Tianying. Baike, who was also watching the scene on the Mirror Guardian, felt puzzled as to why the person appearing did not match up.
At first, Yun Tianmo truly believed that the person who had arrived was his royal brother. However, upon seeing Zhao Feiyu, his expression darkened immediately, and a suspicion flashed through his mind. He turned to look at Ouyang Zixin, who was disdainfully staring at Baike, and he began to feel uneasy. After leaving the Underground Palace, it seemed that something had gone awry, including whatever Ouyang Zixin had mentioned about her relationship with Baike.
"I-I came to find Ouyang Zixin," Zhao Feiyu stammered as she was pulled out by Yun Tianmo, shrinking her neck in explanation. Just moments ago, she had been peeking around, but now she dared not move or look around carelessly.
Not Yun Tianying?
Now Ouyang Zixin realized that the person behind the tree was not Yun Tianying at all. When she looked back at the Mirror Guardian, she found that the image above had completely vanished.
Nameless.
—Master, that aura changed too quickly; Nameless could not figure out why it was like this.
This situation was suspicious; how could a person change so suddenly?
Seeing that Ouyang Zixin was lost in thought, Baike took advantage of her distraction and reached out to touch the Mirror Guardian to see what kind of thing could show scenes from elsewhere.
Snap.
"You." Baike quickly withdrew her hand. If she hadn't acted fast, her fingers would have been caught; Ouyang Zixin truly had a wicked side.
Ouyang Zixin gave Baike a look that said she was lucky this time and then turned to Zhao Feiyu, who was slowly stepping out from behind the tree. She wrinkled her nose and asked loudly, "Where have you been all this time?"
Zhao Feiyu looked around to confirm there were no others present. She nodded; in fact, she had only just arrived. If she hadn't happened to pass by, she wouldn't have known where to find Ouyang Zixin. Although Yun Tianmo had pulled her out, it seemed he had no intention of doing anything to her. Taking a deep breath, she gathered her courage and took a few steps toward Ouyang Zixin. "Ouyang Zixin. I was just about to look for you."
Regarding why Zhao Feiyu is looking for herself, Ouyang Zixin has no interest at all. Her mind is entirely focused on Yun Tianmo and Baike, so when it comes to Zhao Feiyu, she simply gestures to indicate that they can talk later, as she is busy right now.
"White Maiden, isn't it disappointing that Yun Tianying didn't come?" Ouyang Zixin said playfully to Baike, her expression quite animated. One moment she looked surprised, the next hopeful, and then when she realized that it wasn't Yun Tianying who had arrived, her disappointment seemed genuine rather than feigned. At that moment, she wore an expression that suggested she was up to something.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" In Baike's view, Yun Tianmo could be considered not an outsider. Although Ouyang Zixin didn't particularly like her, she could tolerate her for Yun Tianmo's sake. However, Zhao Feiyu was purely an outsider in her eyes. As the Legitimate Daughter of the Bai Clan, how could she possibly lose her manners in front of an outsider? She would never engage in a conversation related to Virtue.
But she forgot that Zhao Feiyu had actually been watching from the side for quite some time, so her attempt to evade was meaningless.
"The Mirror Guardian has a problem." After Zhao Feiyu appeared, Yun Tianmo naturally did not want Ouyang Zixin's "catching someone in the act" demeanor to resurface. Moreover, he was more concerned about why he couldn't sense Zhao Feiyu's presence while Ouyang Zixin could, even though it seemed she sensed something incorrectly. When he realized that Ouyang Zixin's sharpness might stem from jealousy, his previously gloomy expression became slightly less intimidating.
Hmph, diverting attention.
Ouyang Zixin declared that she wouldn't be fooled. Even if she mistakenly thought Zhao Feiyu was Yun Tianying, she would never believe that the Mirror Guardian could malfunction. Why? A high-tech product from another world couldn't possibly make mistakes. Given modern people's trust in high-tech products, it was simply impossible.
So Yun Tianmo was just trying to excuse his "beastly" behavior.
"Since you won't admit it and White Maiden won't either, what if I say I think this White Maiden looks quite punchable? I wonder what the Ink King thinks about my statement?" The scenario of a main wife angrily confronting a mistress is often seen, and Ouyang Zixin had watched enough of them; today she felt like playing the role of the main wife and wanted to take down this stubborn "mistress."
Baike couldn't hold back any longer and rolled her eyes. Punchable? Hmph, the real joke is that it's Ouyang Zixin who indiscriminately throws dirt on others without understanding the situation.
Nameless internally cheered for Ouyang Zixin's words. If he weren't stuck here right now—regardless of whether he could take on Yun Tianmo—Baike would be the first person he wanted to teach a lesson. As for the saying about good men not hitting women? Well, Nameless probably didn't even count as human, so that saying didn't apply to him.
Hearing Nameless's cheer, Ouyang Zixin almost laughed out loud, allowing some of her pent-up frustration to release.
"Do as you please." Ouyang Zixin's desire to hit Baike had nothing to do with Yun Tianmo, so she generously stated that she had no objections.
Upon hearing this, a pair of almond-shaped eyes widened in disbelief. It seemed that it was one thing for Ouyang Zixin to be unreliable, but for Yun Tianmo to also...
"No way, if Tian Ying finds out, she won't agree to this." Baike had no backup to call upon at this moment. One of the three was the Legitimate Daughter of the National Guardian Mystic, another was a prince of the Cloud Nation, and she herself was the Legitimate Daughter of the hidden Bai Clan from Dream Nation. Who would come forward to help her given such relationships? Moreover, there was also Zhao Feiyu watching from the side; she was from Exiled Nation too, and there was no way she would stand on Baike's side.
Zhao Feiyu certainly did not expect to witness such a spectacle upon her arrival. As a daughter of a prominent family from Exiled Nation, she had often taken advantage of others, but this was the first time she realized how exhilarating it could be to bully someone openly. It was far better than those underhanded tactics done in secret. Ouyang Zixin truly dared to act; it was quite amusing.
However, Ouyang Zixin did not care what others thought. When Yun Tianmo spoke, she felt an anger rising within her. He seemed so indifferent; shouldn't she be happy? Why did she feel even more frustrated?
—Master, since he said that, why not take action and see whom he really supports?
Hmm, that makes sense. Anyway, I’ve long found Baike unpleasant.
The master and servant quickly made their decision: to strike!
Ouyang Zixin's strange yet swift movements incorporated some essence of Sky Treading. By the time Baike wanted to react, it was already too late. Ouyang Zixin landed a straight punch to her abdomen, followed by an elbow strike to her back. Just as Baike was about to fall to the ground, Ouyang Zixin lifted her leg and flipped her backward.
This series of actions flowed seamlessly, nearly prompting Yun Tianmo and Zhao Feiyu to applaud.
However, things were not looking good for Baike; she was in serious trouble... (To be continued.)
