You scratched your head, suddenly feeling hesitant.
These two Mysterious Seals are your biggest secret and currently the very foundation of your survival. Of course, it’s not that you don’t trust your mother, but being in this Chenghuang Temple, there must definitely be other things spying around. If you reveal them, wouldn’t that be the sa as revealing your trump cards?
Your mother seed to see through your thoughts, and she said with a smile, "Don’t worry, there’s no petty thief who has just snuck in to spy on us here. You can comfortably reveal them."
Alright then.
You nodded, took a deep breath, then closed your eyes and slightly bowed your head. Soon your eyes were enveloped in a warm breath.
Suddenly!
You opened your eyes wide!
At that mont, the Mysterious Seal from the Star Stealing Life-changing Talisman that first appeared in your left eye streaked into view, instantly bringing everything around you into view. At the sa ti, a presence burst forth from your body, causing both gods and demons to tremble!
"Sen... Sen Luo Eye!"
A deep masculine voice ca from the statue of Lord Chenghuang behind your mother!
As you heard the voice, the corners of your mother’s mouth lifted slightly, and a sly glint flashed through her eyes.
"Who’s there!?"
You looked up sharply but found nothing inside the statue of Lord Chenghuang and no suspicious traces around, involuntarily furrowing your brows tightly.
"Whichever shaless sneak is hiding and eavesdropping, show yourself!"
Still, no one responded.
"Okay, no need to shout anymore, I think that person has already fled far away."
You turned to look at your mother and asked, "Mom, do you know him?"
"Just soone who often hides and cowers. Don’t worry about him," she said with a smile. "Did you hear what that person just said?"
You nodded: "Sen Luo Eye, Sen Luo, huh? Wanxiang Senluo?"
"Hmm? Wanxiang Senluo, what does that an?"
You shook your head: "Just so scattered information, I’ll talk about it when I’ve collected more. Mom, what does Sen Luo Eye an?"
"Sen Luo Eye, well, very few people know about it, and even the Xiao Family, famous for its collection of secret scrolls, has very little record of it. I saw it when I secretly read a damaged scroll in your grandmother’s private library. The Sen Luo Eye doesn’t belong to Pupil Skill, but it embraces the abilities of all Pupil Skills in the world, Myriad Manifestation Sen Luo."
"That powerful?" You were startled as well, not expecting to have stumbled upon such terrifying power by accident.
"It sounds very powerful, but as I’ve said before, it doesn’t belong to Pupil Skill. Any Pupil Skill can beco stronger if one finds the training thod, even the most common Yin and Yang eyes. But the Sen Luo Eye is different, it’s not a Pupil Skill, it refers to the eyes of a person from the Ancient Era!"
"Eyes?"
Your mother nodded: "Yes, to be exact, he can’t really be considered human. He belonged neither to heaven nor earth, nor to gods, humans, or demons; he was not of shells, scales, fur, feathers, or insects. He wasn’t constrained by the Five Elents, nor was he bound by the Three Realms. Nobody could control him."
"Who was he?"
"Yun Chu."
"Yun Chu!?"
At this, you jumped up, a look of surprise spread across your face.
Could it really be such a coincidence?
Should you show your right eye to your mom as well?
This thought was imdiately suppressed; you felt it was better to keep it hidden for now. After all, you always felt like soone was watching, and it’s always wise to have so hidden strength to surprise others at a critical mont.
"You know about him?"
Nodding, you took out the two black stones that you always carried with you and said to your mother, "These stones have so text recorded on them that ntions Yun Chu."
Your mother took the stones, looked at them closely in front of her eyes, and you expected her to use so tools. But instead, she licked her forefinger and middle finger gently with her tongue, then swiftly rubbed her eyes with them before taking a closer look at the stones.
In that mont, you clearly saw a gleam in her eyes, as if she had applied a movie effect.
"Hmm?"
Her eyebrows knit together slightly.
"Oh."
She suddenly realized.
"Pfft."
She dismissed it with contempt.
Then, as if she were tossing out garbage, she threw two stones at you, speaking in an indifferent tone, "Just two broken stones used for sacrifices, nothing worth researching. But the material of the stones isn’t bad, they could fetch a hundred and eighty thousand on the black market."
"Ah?"
Seeing the blank look on your face, she slowly stood up, smiled, and said, "These two stones must have been found in a tomb, right?"
"Hmm." You nodded.
"So, have you been to a tomb recently?"
"Er, well..." you scratched your head, "you know, I’m in the cultural heritage departnt, and our professor thinks quite highly of , always takes along on field trips."
"Which professor?"
Your mother is no one but a cunning fox spirit that’s aged a thousand years; there aren’t many things in this world that can be kept from her!
Her fox-like eyes, more charming than any long-haired beauty’s, narrowed slightly, spreading a formidable aura that you’d been afraid of since childhood.
"Du, Du Xishan."
"Oh, so it’s that old chap. What, has the old man beco a professor now?"
"Yeah, and he has a rather high status in the world of archaeology, quite renowned."
Your mother nodded, about to speak, when she seed to hear sothing and slightly turned her head. Those beautiful fox eyes narrowed even further, this ti with a glint that sent shivers down your spine.
She nodded slightly, as though she were listening to soone speaking, and soon she said to the air beside her, "I understand."
Then, she turned her head to look at you.
"Mom, who are you talking to?"
She didn’t answer but instead spoke to you with a very serious expression, "Mu Yun, do you rember telling you that you would face a calamity soti soon?"
"Hmm."
You nodded earnestly.
"I thought you had avoided it, but it seems it’s fate, and struggling is futile. So from now on, I won’t interfere with your affairs, but there’s one thing you must rember! No matter the ti, no matter the place, you are your mother’s son, and your na is Li Muyun!"
"Hmm!"
You nodded firmly.
"Go back to school, it’s getting late,"
"Mom, Zhao’er..."
Your mother looked at you intently and sighed, "Before coming here, I did a reading for you. Rest assured, you will et again soon, and as for what happens between you two, that’s up to you."
"Okay, I got it."
You turned and walked away, slowly, still listening intently.
"Little brat, if you don’t vanish by the count of three, mind your ears!"
"I’m leaving right now!"
You wouldn’t dare stay when your mother was furious.
After you left, the Chenghuang Temple fell silent once again.
Then, a delicate, layered male voice filled the air, "The child is grown; in the end, he must walk his own path, and you too must let go."
"Hmph, easy for you to say, but he’s my only son, the apple of my eye. Just him getting hurt makes ache for days, let alone suffering! And you, you... Forget it! I can’t be bothered to argue with you!"
With that, your mother left without turning her head.
