Chapter 213: Falsehoods and Lies
After searching all the way, Long Qi and Xin Yi still found nothing. They didn't even see a single figure, let alone two living people.
During this journey, Xinyi was very confused. The spiritual energy here is indeed very abundant, but since entering the water mirror, except for a false beast, no other living creatures have been seen. According to Lingxiang, Yunmeng Lake should be a gathering place for many ancient spirit beasts, but...
But what about the ancient gods? What about the spiritual beasts?
Xinyi was puzzled. After thinking about it, she felt that it was very strange. She wondered if there was another mystery. When she was about to discuss it with Long Qi, she turned around and saw Long Qi looking thoughtful.
Did Long Qi also notice this inappropriateness?
“I just find it strange,” Long Qi pinched his chin and frowned, “Ling Xiang asked you and me to go out and look for Liu Xia and Ban Xia as soon as we met. This is simply too unusual. Even if Liu Xia is straightforward, he is very sensible and will never cause trouble in such an unfamiliar place as Yunmengze…”
Xin Yi pondered for a moment after hearing what he said, and felt that Long Qi's words made sense: "That's true. Although it's true that she cares about the two of them, she is not in good shape now. According to her personality, she shouldn't let the people who have finally reunited separate again, but she did this. It's like..."
"It's as if they deliberately wanted to get us away, or... to get you away..."
Long Qi and Xin Yi looked at each other, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that this was the case. But why would Ling Xiang do this?
……
The skin on Mrs. Lu's face kept sagging. At first glance, the wrinkles and pulls looked like collapsed dough, which was very scary.
Zhao Wuyang was so frightened that he was stunned. He never expected that Lingxiang would actually poison someone. What kind of deep hatred did Madam Lu have against him that she would be so cruel to him?
No! I drank that tea too! Could it be that I would also...
Zhao Wuyang rubbed his face hurriedly, but found that he did not look like Mrs. Lu.
This……
What the hell does this happen?
Compared to Zhao Wuyang's panic-stricken expression, Lingxiang was very calm. Even as Madam Lu wailed, roared and cursed at the top of her lungs, she still sat down and drank tea, as if it had nothing to do with her. She seemed to be trying her best to cover up Madam Lu's wailing, and the sound of her slurping tea was so loud.
Seeing Lingxiang like this, Zhao Wuyang was even more surprised. In his opinion, although Lingxiang was a little tough, she always thought about others. When did she become so vicious?
Just as Zhao Wuyang was astonished, he heard a series of "pa pa" sounds coming from Mrs. Lu's body, as if it was the sound of a taut rope breaking, or like boiling mud, mixed with bursts of "gurgling" sounds.
Along with these strange noises, Madam Lu's skin was taken off like clothes, and now standing in front of the two men was the hideous-looking Yinghuan!
Zhao Wuyang naturally didn't recognize her, but now he understood that the person in front of him was definitely not a good person.
At this time, Yinghua endured the severe pain in her body and asked Xiang Lingxiang fiercely: "When did you notice it?"
Lingxiang took a sip of tea, feeling the aroma in her mouth. After a long while, she smacked her lips and said, "I didn't trust you from the beginning. To be precise, I never trusted Xinyi until I entered the Water Mirror."
Zhao Wuyang was puzzled when he heard this. Why did Lingxiang not trust Brother Xinyi? But Lingxiang continued:
"Xinyi once told me about his mother, and I guessed that this day would come. Madam Lu is his only relative. Given his personality, if he had to choose, he would definitely choose Madam Lu." "I have tested him countless times, and have made it clear to him both openly and secretly, but I didn't expect that even after being threatened by Bai Wuchang, he still didn't hurt us."
"From then on, I truly trusted him. Since he could do this, I couldn't let him down."
"I have always wondered why Bai Wuchang brought Madam Lu before we entered the Water Mirror. It was not until I saw the evil beast in the Black Woods that I realized that he didn't want me at all. He wanted me to bring his people into the Water Mirror, and that person is you."
"I have seen your methods before. You are the only one who can conceal your true intentions. As for Madam Lu, I don't believe that Bai Wuchang will spare her life. Bai Wuchang is a man who can make the best use of his talents. A living Madam Lu is of no value to him."
After hearing what Lingxiang said, Yinghua sneered a few times: "He is a sensible person, unlike that wolf cub who can't be tamed."
"It's just that those involved are confused." Lingxiang placed the teacup on the table, her hand still stroking the edge of the teacup.
"Ah! By the way, what I just said about Madam Lu..." Lingxiang said, looking up at the ferocious Yinghuan with a smile on her face: "That was all made up by me, but I didn't expect you to hesitate. You have Madam Lu's soul imprisoned in your skin, but you still fell for it. You are really... stupid!"
Lingxiang knew very little about Madam Lu. Even if Xinyi told her, it would not be so detailed. But after hearing it, Yinhuan believed it because she could not learn it from the soul-binding technique. Now after hearing what Lingxiang said, her already ferocious face became even more ferocious.
"Little witch! You... you actually dared to lie to me!"
Lingxiang was not afraid at all, she just sneered and said, "You already called me a witch, if I don't lie, wouldn't I be unworthy of this nickname?"
Upon hearing that, Yinghuan wanted to pounce on Lingxiang, but the severe pain in her stomach made her unable to use any strength. Even if she turned her hands into claws, she could only flutter in the air twice before leaning on the table beside her.
Zhao Wuyang finally understood Lingxiang's intention. Seeing that Yinghuan wanted to harm Lingxiang, he hurriedly stepped forward to protect her behind him. He used his spiritual power to slap Yinghuan with one palm, knocking her several feet away.
On the other hand, Lingxiang remained calm, as if she was not facing the demons.
It’s not that Lingxiang is not afraid, but Yinghuan just drank the tea made with bamboo leaves and is now unable to take care of herself, so how could she be a threat to her?
Another reason was to test Zhao Wuyang.
Previously, when they encountered the evil beast in the Black Woods, Lingxiang had caught a glimpse of Zhao Wuyang's hand gestures. If she remembered correctly, it should be the Bugang Tadou technique.
This Senior Brother Qian Yuan not only taught Zhao Wuyang the Demon-Subduing Qinghui, but he even taught him Bu Tiangang, which was incredible. But think about it, although Zhao Wuyang's cultivation was low, he was a celestial spirit, so maybe he could perform magic across borders?
I just don't know how powerful his stepping technique can be.
Just as Lingxiang was thinking deeply while holding her tea, Zhao Wuyang made a hand gesture, stood firmly on his horse's stance, and shouted at Yinghuan, "Don't be so arrogant, you demons! If you dare to take another step forward, don't blame me for being merciless!"
These words should have been extremely intimidating, but coming from Zhao Wuyang's mouth, how could they be so gutless...
Lingxiang couldn't help but roll her eyes: Who are you showing mercy to! Go and fight her! Kill her!
When Yinghua heard this, her face was vicious, but she laughed in pain: "You little brat, I want to see what you can do to me with your little cultivation."
