Chapter 964: Priestess Qin (1)
It was Si Kongxue’s face. Her expression was gentle, with a faint smile. It seemed as if she was smiling sweetly at Li Xiaofei through the mouth of the well. She seemed utterly at peace.
Yet Li Xiaofei couldn’t shake the feeling that something about Si Kongxue’s face didn’t seem quite right. He just couldn’t pinpoint what it was. He took a step back, moving away from the well. Clearing his thoughts slightly, he leaned forward again and looked into the well.
But then he was startled once more. The face reflected in the water had changed again. It still wasn’t his own. It was someone else entirely.
Tan Qingying’s eyes sparkled, her dimples showing clearly as she smiled charmingly up at Li Xiaofei through the well’s reflection as if she were about to say something.
Li Xiaofei frowned. There was definitely something wrong with this well. He took another step back. Then he stepped forward again and looked once more into the well. As expected, the mirror-like surface of the water revealed yet another change in the reflected face. It had become Principal Hu, the beautiful fox spirit from the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox clan.
Could it be that the well only reflects women, and only those who have some connection to me? thought Li Xiaofei.
Li Xiaofei had calmed down. He thought for a moment, then flicked his finger toward the surface of the water.
Swoosh.
A single gust of finger wind shot out. It shattered the reflection on the water’s surface. The well water rippled like scattered silver, sending out layer after layer of concentric waves. The roaring sound of surging waves grew louder, echoing from the mouth of the well and spreading in all directions like rolling thunder.
When the water finally settled again, the surface, once as smooth as a mirror, could no longer reflect anyone’s face. Not even Li Xiaofei’s.
This well was far too strange. Li Xiaofei stood by the edge, his expression hesitant. He held the Time Jade in his hand. It was something Master Jin had given him before they parted ways.
Only by using this artifact to break the formation could he enter the illusionary array and search for the Sword Immortal, Lin Beichen. He activated the Time Jade according to the technique.
