The first light of dawn seeped through the cracks in the window, gently sprinkling the streets of the small town. Lin Ting, Lin Tiantian, and Shue Ling returned to the inn, their faces showing signs of exhaustion after the battle.
Lin Ting gently placed down his sword, his brow furrowed. "The ambush last night was too sudden. It's clear that someone has carefully planned this against us," he said in a low voice, tinged with contemplation.
Lin Tiantian sat on the chair, gently massaging her shoulders, her brows slightly furrowed: "Who is that mysterious merchant? How does he know about the soul mirror?" Her voice carried a sense of puzzlement.
Shue Ling leaned against the window, cold eyes staring at the distant mountains. After a moment of silence, he spoke: "All of this seems to point to a conspiracy. There may be some kind of power hidden behind the soul mirror that is enough to cause turmoil in the three realms."
Lin Ting nodded, "We need to find more information about this ancient family, perhaps we can discover some clues from it." He stood up with a determined look.
Lin Tiantian suddenly stood up, "In that case, why don't we explore the city's library? It has a rich collection of books, maybe we can find some useful information there."
Shue Ling flashed a look of approval in his eyes: "Before that, let's go to the market to replenish some necessities."
In the bustling market, Lin Ting, Lin Tiantian, and Shue Ling moved lightly and compactly. Lin Ting's brows were slightly furrowed, showing his strict attitude towards financial management. When he looked at his sister, his expression was gentle yet carried a serious tone of no disobedience: " Tiantian, remember my words, do not spend recklessly."
Lin Tiantian Although she was dissatisfied, she also understood her brother's intentions. She pursed her lips and responded, "I understand, brother. I won't spend money recklessly." Although her tone was somewhat reluctant, her eyes revealed trust in her brother.
The hustle and bustle of the market attracted Lin Tiantian's attention. Her gaze couldn't help but be drawn to a colorful jewelry stall. She approached the stall and curiously picked up a jade pendant, its exquisite texture capturing her gaze. The jade pendant was cold and smooth, exuding an extraordinary quality.
Shue Ling Quietly walking up to her, his eyes were deep, as if pondering something. He spoke, "The texture of this jade pendant is quite rare, seemingly containing some special meaning..." However, before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly fell silent, his gaze becoming alert.
Lin Ting also noticed the unusual surroundings. He quietly cautioned, "Be careful, it seems we are being watched." His tone was calm, but his eyes were sharp, showing his alertness to the current situation.
Three people quickly changed their action plan. Lin Tiantian's heart tightened, she put down the jade pendant and did not linger. Shue Ling's expression was indifferent, but his eyes revealed an imperceptible tension. They quickly purchased the necessary items in the market, acting swiftly and methodically.
After Lin Ting bought the last necessary item, the three quickly left the market. Their pace was urgent and steady, as if an indescribable pressure was closely following them. Lin Ting occasionally looked back vigilantly to observe their surroundings, making sure that no one was following them.
After leaving the market, Lin Tiantian couldn't help but let out a sigh and said, "Really, brother, this shopping trip feels more like a secret operation, doesn't it?" Her tone was light, trying to ease the tension from earlier.
Lin Ting smiled slightly and responded, "In this world, caution is necessary in all things. However, I didn't expect our movements to attract so much attention."
Shue Ling remained silent, his eyes still holding that unfathomable coldness. Yet in his heart, he pondered the unusual occurrences at the market just now, knowing that there must be something fishy going on.
On the way back to the inn, Lin Tiantian couldn't help but ask, "What were you about to say about the texture on the jade pendant?"
Shue Ling frowned slightly, "The pattern is similar to an ancient rune I saw in the demon realm, perhaps related to the soul mirror. But now the most important thing is that we must be careful and avoid falling into the trap again."
Back at the inn, Lin Ting immediately spread out the map, and the three of them began planning their next move. Lin Tiantian took out the books purchased at the market, flipping through them while letting out a slight sigh, "It seems that these books do not mention any information about that family."
Shue Ling Standing quietly by the window, gazing into the distance: "We need more clues. The secret of this family may be the key to everything."
Lin Ting Tapping the table lightly, pondering: "We will go to the library tomorrow. The collection there is much richer than the market. Now, we need to rest and regain our strength."
Night falls, Lin Ting, Lin Tiantian, and Shue Ling are each sleeping in their rooms. They are unaware that the outside world is quietly undergoing changes, and the secret behind the soul mirror is gradually coming to light.
The next day, as the morning light shines through the window into the study, Lin Ting, Lin Tiantian, and Shue Ling are already deeply immersed in it. The bookshelves here are like silent guardians, silent and sublime, carrying countless knowledge and secrets.
Lin Tiantian's actions seemed somewhat casual as she wandered between the bookshelves, curiously observing each book. Suddenly, she discovered what appeared to be a very old book in a hidden corner. She exclaimed loudly, "Brother, come see what I found!" Her voice carried an excitement that was hard to conceal.
Lin Ting and Shue Ling rushed over at the sound, and they quickly gathered around the table, earnestly studying the ancient book. Time quietly passed as they focused, as if the outside noise had been isolated by their passion for seeking knowledge.
Lin Tiantian's fingers lightly slid across the pages of the book, and she excitedly pointed to a passage: "Look here, this ' Mirror Shadow Sect,' it seems to have an extraordinary connection with 'soul mirror'!"
Lin Ting fixed his gaze on the passage, his face showing a pensive expression: "' Mirror Shadow Sect'... this name seems to conceal some kind of secret, we must explore it further."
Shue Ling calmly analyzed, "The name Mirror Shadow Sect is rarely known in our demon world. They seem to have deliberately hidden their tracks." His eyes revealed a subtle curiosity that was not easily detectable.
As they continued to flip through the pages of the book, a fog of history gradually began to lift. Lin Tiantian furrowed her brows and pointed to another passage in the book, "Here it says that Mirror Shadow Sect once participated in a earth-shattering battle and later mysteriously disappeared. They may have had some connection to a forbidden power that is said to be able to change people's destinies."
Shue Ling's voice was low and serious: "If this is true, then the soul mirror may not just be an antique, it may hide a great danger."
Lin Tingze expressed cautiously: "We need more information to confirm these speculations. The most crucial thing now is to find the site of the Mirror Shadow Sect, where we may find the answers we need."
Three people in the library seemed to lose track of time as their conversation was filled with speculation and conjecture. As they delved deeper into their research, the secrets within the books gradually unfolded, all pointing towards a common goal - the enigmatic Mirror Shadow Sect.
As they were engrossed in their books, a worried-looking old man approached them. After scanning the three of them with his eyes, he softly said, "I noticed your keen interest in the Mirror Shadow Sect. Perhaps I can offer some help."
Lin Tiantian immediately looked up and asked curiously, "Old man, what do you know?"
The old man sat down slowly, his eyes revealing a glimmer of reminiscence. " Mirror Shadow Sect was once the subject of my research. They possessed a special ability to foresee the future through soul mirror. But this power was too strong and ultimately led to their destruction."
Lin Ting listened attentively: "So, where is the relic of the Mirror Shadow Sect?"
The old man shook his head: "The exact location of the relic has long been lost, but there are rumors that it is hidden in a cursed valley. It is called the 'Valley of Shadows,' shrouded in mist year-round."
Shue Ling Wei Wei frowned slightly: "The Phantom Valley... I've heard of this place. It's said to be extremely dangerous, with many unsolved mysteries."
Lin Ting stood up with a determined look: "Regardless, we must go there to investigate. Perhaps it holds the key to unraveling everything."
Lin Tiantian excitedly clapped her hands and said, "Then it's decided, we're going to the Valley of Shadows!"
The old man cautioned, "Everyone must be careful, the dangers there should not be underestimated. The ancient power can sometimes be beyond imagination."
As the doors of the library slowly closed, the three of them stood outside, gazing into the distance. Lin Ting made sure that every piece of equipment was prepared meticulously, from ropes to food, nothing escaped his careful inspection.
Lin Tiantian, on the other hand, seemed particularly excited. She bounced around like a child eager for adventure, "Brother, are we really going to the Phantom Valley? What will be there? I heard it's full of mystery!" Her voice revealed an unbridled enthusiasm.
Shue Ling stood aside, his expression indifferent, but the depth in his eyes revealed his inner concern. Despite having little experience in the treacherous world of jianghu, he had a clear understanding of the impending challenges.
Lin Ting finally organized everything and turned to Lin Tiantian and Shue Ling: "Let's set out. The Shadow Valley may hold the answers we seek." His words conveyed an unwavering determination.
Three people walked out of the town side by side, setting foot on the road to the Phantom Valley. The sun slowly rose in the sky, shining on their figures.
Along the way, Lin Tiantian excitedly talked about her imagination of the Phantom Valley from time to time, her words filled with longing for the unknown. Lin Tingze reminded her to be careful from time to time, his tone filled with love and tolerance for his younger sister.
Shue Ling Walking beside them, he occasionally responded to Lin Tiantian's words, but most of the time, he silently observed the surrounding environment, with occasional flashes of vigilance and contemplation in his eyes.
As they gradually moved away from the town and entered a more desolate and unknown area, an unknown storm is about to unfold.
