Chapter 698 Chapter 698: Mirror of Revelation!
Not only did Instructor Mei Lan feel interesting, but even Tang Li Xue’s topaz blue eyes were glowing with strong curiosity.
After all, the information obtained by Bingbing might be able to make the task of her perfect copy much easier later.
Bingbing cleared her throat and began to tell the information she got today.
“According to those shopkeepers, there are a total of four women with high status living in the Gu Family’s mansion. Those shopkeepers admit that they must show their utmost respect, fawning, and flattering to those women every time they come to their stores.”
“The first two women are Gu Shengxin’s mother, Li Fuyun, and Gu Shengxin’s younger sister, Gu Xianying. It should be impossible for Princess Yan Fei to disguise herself as them. So, we can exclude them.”
“The other two women are called Zhu Yan and Ling Shuang. Their true identities are still unclear; even shopkeepers do not know their origin. But these two women have an ambiguous relationship with Gu Shengxin.”
“I think we can first start by investigating these two girls, Zhu Yan and Ling Shuang. I am sure one of them is actually Princess Yan Fei in disguise.”
Bingbing concluded her speech and sat back down while sipping warm tea to moisten her dry throat.
Tang Li Xue secretly pondered curiously for a while: ‘I wonder who is the ungrateful drowned girl that my perfect copy saved today? Li Fuyun, Gu Xianying, or Ling Shuang? It seems I must ask this to Zhu Yan tomorrow.’
Of course, her perfect copy could also use the basic [All Knowing Eyes] on all the people she met wantonly to quickly find the real Princess Yan Fei, but she would definitely be discovered soon enough, and be caught by those Nascent Soul Stage Experts.
Tang Li Xue quickly shook her head to deny that idea.
Her perfect copy’s mission was not only to find Princess Yan Fei but also to do something secretly to make her hate Gu Shengxin and make her willingly go back to her home.
Instructor Mei Lan frowned deeply as she began to say: “Our investigation is going too slow. We must speed up our progress and find Princess Yan Fei soon.”
Tang Li Xue, Bingbing, and Silly Fox stared at Instructor Mei Lan in confusion.
They just arrived in Garden City for a few days. There should be no need for them to be that anxious, right? Since Princess Yan Fei should have already lived in Garden City for at least a few months, she should not be in any danger as long as her identity as Sea Beast Princess was not discovered by anyone.
Silly Fox could not hold back his curiosity and asked: “Instructor Lan, will Princess Yan Fei’s life be in danger soon?”
Instructor Mei Lan nodded her head and explained: “You three should have already known that more than a dozen Nascent Soul Stage Elders from Immortal Sword Sect just arrived in this Garden City yesterday, and they currently lived in Gu Family’s mansion.”
“Each of them holds a treasure called the Mirror of Revelation. Its function is to uncover all disguises and reveal the true form. If they use it to check Princess Yan Fei, her identity as Sea Beast Princess would definitely be exposed.”
The expressions of Tang Li Xue, Bingbing, and Silly Fox instantly changed to solemn mixed with worry.
The existence of this Mirror of Revelation was clearly bad news for all of them, including Princess Yan Fei.
Bingbing could not help but complain in annoyance: “Aren’t those people too cautious and well prepared?! How can each of them carry an important treasure like that everywhere?”
Instructor Mei Lan stared at Tang Li Xue for a few moments, but she did not say anything.
Tang Li Xue shrugged her shoulder obliviously when she saw Instructor Mei Lan’s intense blaming stare while saying: “What? Is this my fault too? It should be impossible, right?”
Instructor Mei Lan rolled her eyes but she still did not bother to explain it clearly to Tang Li Xue.
Well… If not for an extremely charming vixen seducing someone else’s groom, then how could all of those Nascent Soul Stage Elders from Immortal Sword Sect carry that Mirror of Revelation everywhere?!
After that, it was Tang Li Xue’s turn to tell what had happened to her perfect copy to everyone today.
Bingbing and Silly Fox clamored in hatred at the ungrateful drowned girl and swore to teach her a harsh lesson if they met with her later.
Instructor Mei Lan did not say much, and she only told Tang Li Xue to let her perfect copy have more closer connection with more people, so her perfect copy could easily move around in the Gu Family’s mansion without being suspected later.
After instructing each of her students about their next task, Instructor Mei Lan dismissed their meeting and let her three students go back to their respective rooms to rest.
However, Tang Li Xue did not plan to just go back to her room and rest tonight since she had already enough rest in her room today.
Tang Li Xue brought Little Loki and Yaya to eat their dinner on the first floor of the inn.
After all of them felt full, Tang Li Xue took them to the cultivation cave leasing building.
Yes, Tang Li Xue planned to rent a cultivation cave and spend tonight practicing the [Yin and Yang Chaotic Formula] instead.
The price of renting a cultivation cave was really outrageous, but Tang Li Xue could only grit her pearl-white teeth in frustration and decided to rent low-grade cultivation cave for eight hours.
Eight hours should be enough for her to practice the [Yin and Yang Chaotic Formula] until the next morning.
The price of a low-grade cultivation cave was 50 low-tier spirit stones per hour, so Tang Li Xue paid 400 low-tier spirit stones to the leasing clerk in great heartache.
Previously, Tang Li Xue extorted 2 mid-tier spirit stones from her martial soul, [Golden Winged Serpent], which was equal to 2,000 low-tier spirit stones.
At first, Tang Li Xue thought that should be enough for her to last until next week, and her [Golden Winged Serpent] would produce another wave of spirit stones again by then.
But right now, her 2,000 low-tier spirit stones had already shrunk to 1,400 low-tier spirit stones in two days…
If she rented this low-grade cultivation cave every night for eight hours to practice the [Yin and Yang Chaotic Formula], her 1,500 low-tier spirit stones could only last for another three days…
It meant Tang Li Xue would be penniless for two days before her [Golden Winged Serpent] could produce spirit stones again…
Tang Li Xue rubbed her forehead as she muttered: “Forget it… It seems I really cannot become too extravagant and rent this low-grade cultivation cave for eight hours every night.”
When Tang Li Xue entered the low-grade cultivation cave she had rented, she was amazed by how luxurious the decorations and furniture were.
Little Loki and Yaya began to wander around the low-grade cultivation cave curiously.
Tang Li Xue shook her head as she activated all the formations in this low-grade cultivation cave and sat on the meditation cushion at the center of the cave.
The spiritual energy around them instantly thickened several times. This should be the effect of spiritual energy gathering formation.
The entire cave was also lit as the entire protective formations activated, so no one could peek inside, and Tang Li Xue’s aura would also not leak outside.
Tang Li Xue closed her topaz blue eyes and began to practice the profound law of heat and cold from the [Yin and Yang Chaotic Formula].
Even though Tang Li Xue only practiced this profound law of heat and cold once for a very short time yesterday, but she had already thought a lot about it until now.
Yesterday, Tang Li Xue thought that she only needed to practice the profound law of cold since her Flame of Pride already contained the profound law of heat, but she immediately realized that her idea was completely wrong.
Just like the name of the [Yin and Yang Chaotic Formula], it meant Yin and Yang have to co-exist with each other!
How could she foolishly think to practice only one part before?!
That was also the reason why her cultivation had gone wrong yesterday and caused that abnormal phenomenon.
Right now, she would not repeat that mistake and decided to practice both the profound law of cold and the profound law of heat at the same time.
However, Tang Li Xue immediately bumped into a difficult problem just as she began to practice.
Practicing both the profound law of cold and the profound law of heat at the same time was actually far more difficult than she had ever imagined!
It was like trying to solve a difficult math problem with her right hand while solving a difficult physics problem with her left hand at the same time!
But the good news was that her control over her Flame of Pride was actually increasing as she practiced this profound law of heat and cold!
At this rate, she might be able to completely control her Flame of Pride like her own arm and finger later!
Without realizing it, eight hours had passed in the blink of an eye for Tang Li Xue, and the sun had already begun to rise from the west.
Tang Li Xue slowly opened her topaz blue eyes and exhaled a turbid breath.
Tang Li Xue tried to open the window status in her system to see if there was any improvement.
