Chapter 301 - 56: News
Lu Hong had planned to leave the day he dealt with Rao Xue’s rebellion, but at Qing Ling’s strong insistence, he reluctantly extended his stay a bit longer.
As for Kaif and those who rebelled, Qing Ling, with a benevolent heart, gave them another chance and emptied her coffers to let Kaila travel through the ancient and still-functional portal for a multi-day tour of the neighboring plane.
Upon returning from Jilianaxi, the first thing Kaila did was kowtow to apologize to Qing Ling, constantly slapping herself and calling herself inhuman.
When Kaila shared her observations, the outside prices, and other details, Kaif immediately knelt down, followed by all the Rao Xue residents, who also knelt and kowtowed, reconciling the two sides.
After staying for about seven or eight days, Lu Hong couldn’t bear it anymore, since there were many more matters waiting for him, such as contracts he had signed, eradicating the Disaster Church, and dealing with the assassination of the Tower Master, all of which urgently required his attention.
The girl who repeatedly tried to make him stay saw Lu Hong’s determination and, puffing with anger, took him to the Rao Xue family’s forbidden area, the Twin Mirrors.
This was a very unique magic skill similar to a portal, yet different. It existed like a large mirror, allowing one to clearly see everything on the other side. By infusing a little magic power, one could travel through the mirror to the other side. However, this path was one-way; according to the girl, it originally was two-way, but as the Rao Xue family’s influence waned, the method of returning was forcibly cut off by their ancestors. This convenient method of exit was therefore not suitable for ordinary Rao Xue residents, who could leave but not return.
"Just walk through here," the girl activated the mirror, and in front of Lu Hong was a lush orchard whose fresh fruits and vegetables were tempting enough to bite into.
"The position of the mirror’s transport used to be a barren land, but as Jilianaxi developed, this area was turned into a fruit garden exclusively for the alliance’s high-level officials."
Alright, Lu Hong nodded, striding forward, half his body passing through before the girl forcefully pulled him back.
