Chapter 2378
“That woman is annoying.” Han Sen still didn’t like Fox Queen.
If Han Sen’s identity was exposed, it wouldn’t benefit Fox Queen in any way. She didn’t seem like the type to harm others if she wasn’t going to get anything out of it.
But Han Sen couldn’t apply normal logic when trying to predict Fox Queen’s behavior. She was a Fox, and she had been imprisoned for eons. No one could be certain how she would act.
Han Sen thought about it some more. He had some people he could use. After he returned to Underwater Town, he brought out his Siren Bottle and tapped the left side of it three times. A rainbow fired out of the bottle, then turned into a shadowy shape that slowly composed itself as the Siren Virgin.
Han Sen told her that he had been threatened by Fox Queen. The Siren Virgin looked unconcerned. She calmly said, “Fox Queen won’t sell you out, but if you can reach the top three in the exams and gain access to Destiny’s Tower, that would be a considerable reward.”
“My identity could be exposed any second. Why would I do something to draw so much attention?” Han Sen bore a wry smile.
The Siren Virgin laughed. “Your situation is not as precarious as you believe. King Bai did grow suspicious of you, but if he wants to investigate you, there are only three ways he can do that. First, he could summon you directly. But I don’t think he’s confident that seeing you would help. He never liked Bai Yi much as a son, anyway, so they only rarely met. I actually don’t think he could tell if you were Bai Yi or not. The second method would be to investigate you through Miss Mirror. For other people, that would be the most difficult means of detection to avoid, but for you, it would most likely be the easiest.”
“Why?” Han Sen cocked his head as he looked at the Siren Virgin. He had never told her the story of his time with Miss Mirror, so he didn’t know what had led the Siren Virgin to this conclusion.
The woman pointed at Han Sen’s finger and the ring that was on it. “You are wearing the Mirror Spirit Eye Ring. You are Miss Mirror’s hope. Why would she go and destroy her own hope?”
