Chapter 99: Picking the moon from the wall, peeking at the flowers in the mirror

With the help of this wind, Su Xuan and Yan Lingji's figures quickly left the ground, flying into the air, and then, under Su Xuan's deliberate manipulation, quickly moved away from here.

Very soon, they flew over many palace chambers and arrived directly at the rear of the Han Guo palace, at the cold palace of Zheng Guo.

This place was sparsely populated and was a scene of broken walls and ruins.

Su Xuan landed with Yan Lingji.

Yan Lingji's gaze flickered slightly. Having been carried by Su Xuan flying in the air for a while, she felt a completely different sensation and couldn't help but say softly: "Zhuang Zhou of the Daoist School once stated in 'Free and Easy Wandering' that 'Liezi rode the wind and traveled, cool and skillful, for fifteen days before returning.' Is this the wind-riding described by Zhuang Zhou?"

"This can't be counted as wind-riding!"

Su Xuan shook his head and explained: "At best, it is just borrowing the wind to travel. The true wind-riding technique is the skill of flying and lifting, capable of riding clouds and mist, traveling a thousand miles in a day, 'seven seven three' is not even worth mentioning."

"Listening to your words, it seems you have seen the true wind-riding technique?"

Yan Lingji looked at Su Xuan with curiosity. "Liezi was a person of the Daoist School. Since you know the wind-riding technique, do you come from the Daoist School?"

Regarding Su Xuan's background, it was impossible for Yan Lingji not to be curious.

Such an expert would always have his origins.

"I suppose I have some connection with the Daoist School!"

Su Xuan's words were vague, and he was too lazy to explain the Taiqing. Carefully calculated, the Seventy-Two Earthly Transformations and the Thirty-Six Heavenly Methods were all considered Daoist arts, indeed related to the Daoist School, but they were not the Daoist School of this world.

"What do you plan to do next?"

Yan Lingji asked Su Xuan.

Witnessing with her own eyes Su Xuan, who was highly favored by the Han Wang just yesterday, become a wanted criminal of Han Guo today, she found it quite interesting.

So she also really wanted to know what Su Xuan planned to do next.

Did he want to find a way to clear his name? Or just bear the name of an evil person, leave the Han Guo palace, and become a wanted criminal of Han Guo?

Or even, wait for an opportunity to take revenge on Han Guo?

If he were prepared to take revenge on Han Guo, she didn't know if Su Xuan needed allies? She could introduce a powerful ally to Su Xuan.

Even if she chose to fulfill the gambling agreement and serve Su Xuan as her master, she had only just attached herself to Su Xuan, so talking about loyalty was completely nonsense. Yan Lingji still had not changed her idea of pimping and wanting to persuade Su Xuan to join Tian Ze's group.

It was nothing more than changing the wording, from serving Tian Ze as master to cooperation.

"I was inexplicably framed, and more importantly, I have no idea what happened. This makes me appear very passive. I plan to go and figure out what happened first."

Su Xuan responded to Yan Lingji.

"You plan to break into the Han Wang's sleeping quarters?"

Yan Lingji asked Su Xuan. Although Ji Wuye had framed Su Xuan from the very beginning, he had still made some things clear.

Ji Wuye was ordered to come and arrest the Han Wang, and the reason was that Su Xuan had colluded with Tian Ze to harm the Han Wang.

As expected, at this moment, the Han Wang's condition should be very critical, with a high possibility of lying in his sleeping quarters waiting for death.

"No need for such trouble!"

Su Xuan said to Yan Lingji.

Yan Lingji was puzzled. Su Xuan explained: "The Han Wang has been taking the elixirs I refined for some time. In other words, he has already left my mark in his body. Using this as proof, I can cast a technique to peek at the Han Wang's situation."

As he spoke, he pinched a hand seal. Following Su Xuan's concentrated hand seal...

In an instant, a streak of white light sprayed out from Su Xuan's fingertips, and then, it condensed into a bright mirror.

The mirror was blurry at first, then ripples spread, and it gradually became clear.

Yan Lingji watched Su Xuan cast the spell, and after a moment of being stunned, her gaze fell on the scene presented in the mirror.

What the mirror revealed was indeed a sleeping chamber.

The Han Wang was lying on the couch, his face pale. Beside him was a middle-aged man with a sorrowful expression. Yan Lingji knew a bit about this person; he was the Crown Prince of Han Guo.

The Chancellor Zhang Kaidi had a distressed and ugly expression, chatting with a person who looked like a royal physician.

It had actually revealed the situation over at the Han Wang's side?

What kind of technique was this?

Yan Lingji couldn't help but become curious.

Admittedly, she was also skilled in the technique of controlling fire, but the technique of controlling fire could barely be traced, as the cultivation method she practiced was fire-attributed.

But Su Xuan's means were completely in an incomprehensible realm.

"This technique is called 'Picking the Moon,' flowers in the mirror, moon in the water, like a mirage, an elusive thing. However, after casting this technique, one can pick the moon and reveal it on the wall, using this to reflect scenes from elsewhere. This is the Mysterious Light Technique!"

Su Xuan didn't care whether Yan Lingji understood or not, and explained it to her.

Looking at the appearance of the Han Wang revealed in the mirror, he commented: "Pale face, no vitality. It seems our Han Wang does not have long to live."

As he spoke, he said to Yan Lingji: "Seeing your bitter enemy about to die before your eyes, you should be very happy."

Yan Lingji was silent. When she learned that the Han Wang was about to die, she was indeed somewhat happy, even wanting to share this news with her former master Tian Ze, but then, she couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow.

This sorrow was born for the Han Wang.

Even though there had been deep hatred in the past, even though the Han Wang had brought deep pain to Regarding Baiyue for his own selfish interests. ===== CHAPTER 101 =====
