The morning mist had not completely dispersed, and the three of them walked together in the narrow alleys of the city. Surrounding them were mottled brick walls and roof tiles, with occasional distant bustling sounds from the market.
Lin Tiantian led the way as usual, dressed in colorful clothes. The accessories around her waist swayed gently with each step, emitting a pleasant sound.
Lin Ting followed her calmly, his gaze sweeping over everything around him from time to time, as if alert to something. His attire was simple and elegant, and every step he took seemed composed and steady.
Shue Ling, on the other hand, maintained his usual calm and aloof demeanor. His deep blue pupils shimmered in the shadows, giving him a noble and mysterious appearance.
As they walked through a quiet alley, Lin Tiantian suddenly stopped in her tracks, furrowing her brow as if sensing something amiss. "Someone is following us," she whispered, her eyes flashing with caution.
Lin Ting and Shue Ling immediately became alert. Lin Ting responded quietly, "We have indeed attracted a lot of attention these days. Tiantian, you stay here first, and Shue Ling and I will go check."
Shue Ling nodded, his movements swift and cautious. Together with Lin Ting, they concealed themselves in the shadows of the alley, silently moving towards the direction of the pursuer.
Hidden in the shadows, Lin Ting and Shue Ling quickly spotted the figure of the pursuer. It was a person wearing a gray cloak, holding a slender bamboo staff, moving lightly and seemingly making every effort to avoid making any sound.
Lin Ting flashed a glint in his eyes, signaling Shue Ling to surround and intercept. Shue Ling nodded, and the two quickly split up to plan a pincer attack on the pursuer.
As the pursuer passed over a small bridge, Lin Ting and Shue Ling simultaneously acted, swiftly trapping the pursuer. Seeing this, the pursuer immediately pulled out some smoke bombs in an attempt to escape.
However, Lin Ting's reaction was extremely quick. He waved his short sword, and the sword energy swept away the smoke. At the same time, Shue Ling's ice whip had swiftly wrapped around the tracker's figure, rendering him immobile.
The captured tracker finally revealed his true identity. He was a middle-aged man with a hint of wit between his eyebrows, his face showing a trace of surprise and unwillingness.
Lin Ting asked, "Why are you following us?" His voice was calm, but carried an unquestionable authority.
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and finally spoke, "I... I am also searching for the secret of the 'soul mirror.' I heard that you have clues in your hands, so that's why..."
Lin Ting and Shue Ling locked eyes for a moment, realizing that the man in front of them might not be an ordinary thief or spy, but someone who shared a great interest in the antique just like them.
Soon, they brought the middle-aged man back to where Lin Tiantian was. Upon seeing the captured follower, Lin Tiantian couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's going on? Who is this...?"
The middle-aged man explained earnestly, "My name is Wen Jian, and I am a scholar researching ancient mysteries. The legend of the 'soul mirror' has always been my subject of study. I heard that you obtained this antique, so I wanted to approach you in the hope of catching a glimpse of its secrets."
Lin Tiantian frowned, but soon her expression became excited. "Oh? How much do you know about the 'soul mirror'? Can it really reflect the truest thoughts of the heart?"
Wen Jian nodded, "That's right. It is said that the 'soul mirror' can reveal the deepest thoughts of the viewer. But the true secret of this antique has not been fully uncovered by me."
Lin Ting pondered for a moment, then said to Mo Yan, "In that case, why don't we join forces to explore the secret of the 'soul mirror'? Your knowledge may help us unravel more mysteries."
Wen Jian readily agreed, and so they decided to act together to uncover the mysterious veil behind "soul mirror."
At this moment, Lin Tiantian suddenly remembered something, a mischievous glint in her eyes: "Wait, let's go to the market first. I want to buy some things!" Her words revealed her naked intention.
Lin Ting shook her head helplessly, while Shue Ling smiled faintly. This everyday little episode had become a part of their adventure, and the four of them went to the market together.
In the bustling market, Lin Tiantian clearly couldn't contain her excitement. Her eyes sparkled with a childlike curiosity in front of every rare and precious item. She weaved through the stalls, sometimes marveling at a string of colorful beads, and other times inquiring about the price of a peculiar-looking mineral. She exuded an irresistible vitality and energy.
Lin Tingze is like a guardian, silently following behind her. His gaze is always alert, looking around, and when Lin Tiantian impulsively goes shopping, he just smiles and shakes his head gently. Occasionally, he softly reminds her, " Tiantian, do you really need this?" Clearly, he maintains rational money management in his sister's shopping frenzy.
Shue Ling stands aside, his cold and proud temperament appearing particularly incongruous in this environment. His eyes sweep through the crowd, seemingly disdainful of the noise, but they occasionally land on Lin Tiantian, as if contemplating the girl's extraordinary qualities. Meanwhile, Wen Jian stands next to Shue Ling, showing considerable curiosity about Lin Tiantian's behavior. He occasionally says a few words to Shue Ling, attempting to ease the discomfort of this "Prince of the Demon Tribe."
Suddenly, Lin Tiantian's gaze fell on an ancient suit of armor at a stall. She excitedly ran over, completely forgetting Lin Ting's earlier reminder. She lightly touched the armor with her hand, her eyes shining with excitement. "Wow, look at this armor. It must have an extraordinary story!"
Lin Ting followed and smiled as she asked the stall owner, "Can you tell us the origin of this armor?"
The stall owner is a weathered old man. He looked at Lin Tiantian and then at Lin Ting, with a glint in his eyes. "This armor, it is said to be a relic of an ancient hero. With it, one can gain the protection of a hero."
Lin Tiantian was captivated and almost took out her wallet. But Lin Ting looked cautious. He reached out and held Lin Tiantian, whispering, " Tiantian, let's confirm its authenticity first."
snowball walked over at this moment, coldly observing everything with a barely noticeable smile at the corner of his mouth. He looked at Lin Tiantian's almost impulsive excitement, seeming to have a new understanding of the hustle and simple joy of the human world.
Wen Jian stood aside, finding this scene interesting: "It seems that whether human or demon, the attraction of this market is irresistible." His words made snowball glance sideways, but he couldn't help nodding slightly.
When Lin Tiantian finally returned with a bunch of treasures in hand, the four of them regrouped and continued their exploration journey. Lin Ting suggested, "Since Mr. Wen has researched the 'soul mirror,' why don't we find a quiet place to discuss our next plan?"
Mr. Wen nodded in agreement, his interest in the 'soul mirror' far exceeding his curiosity about the market. They chose a secluded tea house, sitting by the window where they could overlook the bustling market while having a private conversation.
In the tranquil atmosphere of the teahouse, the voice of Wenjian slowly resonated, like ripples on a deep lake. Every detail he described made Lin Tiantian's eyes light up, as if she were a knowledge-thirsty apprentice.
"The 'soul mirror' is an extremely mysterious artifact," Wenjian's tone was steady, with a hint of reverence for this ancient legend in his eyes. "It can reveal the deepest secrets of the human heart, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Deeper secrets involve the trajectory of fate, and may even touch upon the mysteries of the entire universe."
Lin Tiantian's curiosity was thoroughly ignited, and her voice was filled with undisguised excitement: "So how do we uncover its secrets?" Her eyes sparkled with anticipation.
Wen Jian nodded slightly, his gaze becoming even more profound: "To unlock the secrets of the 'soul mirror,' it not only requires mastery of ancient spells, but also a series of complex rituals. We may need to journey to certain ancient ruins to seek relevant knowledge."
Lin Ting Interrupting at this moment, his voice carried a hint of caution: "This journey may be fraught with difficulties, and we must be fully prepared." His gaze was firm, showing careful consideration of the plan.
Shue Ling spoke coldly, "Since we've chosen this path, there's no turning back." His voice revealed a ruthless determination, but his eyes hinted at a trace of anticipation.
Lin Tiantian suddenly stood up, breaking the solemn atmosphere. Her voice was firm: "No matter how difficult this mission is, we must explore together! We might encounter unprecedented dangers!" Her eyes sparkled with determination, like a fearless warrior.
Lin Ting smiled and nodded, his eyes revealing trust and support for his sister: " Tiantian, we will walk together."
Shue Ling Looking at Lin Tiantian, the indifference in his eyes seemed to melt a bit. He coldly said, "You're always so impulsive. But even for your persistence, I will follow your lead."
Wen Jian nodded with a smile, a hint of admiration in his eyes. "This is the passion of young people. Let's uncover the mystery of the past together."
The four people's gazes intertwined in the air filled with the fragrance of tea, each with different thoughts in their hearts. The journey ahead is full of difficulties, but they are all prepared to patiently explore the secret of the "soul mirror."
Outside the teahouse, sunlight filtered through the leaves, creating a sharp contrast between the hustle and bustle of the market and the tranquility of the teahouse. After this brief rest, they will go in search of the answer that can unlock all the mysteries.
