My sister is Luna

Chapter 150 Magic Mirror

Nighttime in a courtyard house.

"Come on, cheers! To celebrate Cain's championship!" Zhong Wuyan said heartily, raising her glass.

"Cheers!" the other six replied.

Cain, Zhong Wuyan, and Lian Po downed their wine in one gulp, displaying their heroic spirit. Milady and Yang Yuhuan took only a small sip, while Xi Shi and Ji Xiaoman drank their fruit juice in one go. These two did not particularly like drinking alcohol, so they used fruit juice instead.

"Cain, as the winner of the Return to the Void Dream Competition, what are your thoughts?" Zhong Wuyan put her arm around Xi Shi's shoulder and asked Cain.

His behavior was just like a grown man's, and feeling Zhong Wuyan's strong, powerful, and elastic body pressed close to hers, Xi Shi felt a little strange.

However, Xi Shi didn't say anything. The reason why Zhong Wuyan was called a heroine was because of her straightforward personality and free-spirited way of living, which she actually envied. She was very happy to be friends with such a person, to have an unforgettable experience with her, and to have such a "treasure".

"Thoughts? Hmm, let me think..." Cain thought for a moment, then said seriously.

"It is truly fate that I was able to come to Jixia Academy and meet you all. I am very happy and joyful. Milady, Yang Yuhuan, Xi Shi, Zhong Wuyan, Lian Po, Ji Xiaoman, although we haven't spent much time together, the camaraderie and tacit understanding between us is undoubtedly real. I am very grateful to you all! Behind my victory, each of you has contributed a share." Cain looked at each of them and said deeply.

“You’re right, Brother Cain. It’s truly a wonderful fate, as if some invisible thread is connecting us. But it’s not forced; it’s our heartfelt coming together.” Xi Shi agreed wholeheartedly.

In just a few days, she learned and gained a lot, and the bond of friendship naturally formed.

“Well said! Now that we have formed this bond, I, Lian Po, will do my utmost to help you whenever you need me,” Lian Po said solemnly.

He was over fifty years old, but he was still physically strong and had a good appetite. However, he could still feel the aging of life, the dulling of his thinking, and the slowing of his mind. He was always resisting this decaying erosion in his heart.

In addition, as the chieftain of the Gandan tribe, he was busy with government affairs, and by the end of the day, he was physically and mentally exhausted, making it even more difficult to stop aging.

Perhaps his only concern back then was encountering Zhong Wuyan, who robbed him. At that time, he felt "young" again. Now, studying at Jixia Academy, he feels young again. These young people seem to have brought him "alive" again. In order to hold on to this "youth", he will do his best to protect it and then complete a magnificent feat. He will not have lived in vain.

"This Dream Return performance was pretty good, and I'm very happy to be able to join Teacher Cain's team." Ji Xiaoman recalled what the old master had said before, and with the time spent together and the prize money, her thoughts had changed somewhat.

“You are a group of outstanding people, and I, Milady, acknowledge you,” Milady said calmly, turning her head away.

"Let me perform a piece for you, let the sound of music speak for me," Yang Yuhuan said, holding her pipa. After everyone agreed, she slowly plucked the strings.

"?~?~?~" The beautiful piano music rang out, melodious and pleasant to the ear, with ups and downs, sometimes calm, sometimes deep, and sometimes unrestrained.

"Speaking of which... hehe... about that thing we discussed before, when would you like to meet..."

Amidst the beautiful music, Zhong Wuyan quietly approached, a knowing smile on her face, and gently nudged Cain's arm with her elbow.

"Don't worry, I'll give it to you first thing tomorrow morning, not a penny less," Cain said with a smile.

"Great! Hahaha..." Zhong Wuyan laughed loudly upon hearing this, her mood becoming even more cheerful, and she patted Cain's shoulder forcefully.

"Zheng——"

"Someone's coming." Suddenly, Yang Yuhuan stopped playing the zither and looked towards the door.

Everyone looked over.

At the courtyard gate, a slender figure could be vaguely seen. As the clouds drifted by, a jade disc in the sky was revealed, and the pale moonlight shone on her, illuminating her face.

"Mirror?" Cain asked in confusion upon seeing who it was.

What is Jing doing here so late at night? Is there something she needs?

With these questions in mind, Cain approached the mirror, only to be startled.

Because Jing's face was very pale, her lips were bloodless, and her delicate cheeks were covered with beads of sweat, she looked like someone who had just recovered from a serious illness. The usually capable and strong Jing now looked pitiful. She was leaning against the door, her pupils were unfocused, and her eyes were dazed.

"Jing! What happened?" Cain held Jing's shoulder and asked worriedly.

Everything was fine before, so why did it suddenly turn out like this? Could someone have sabotaged Jing? But who would dare to do such a thing in the Jixia Academy? Or is there some other reason?

Cain kept thinking to himself.

“Teacher…” Jing, whose face looked extremely haggard, glanced at Cain and then fainted.

"Jing!" Cain quickly picked up the unconscious Jing and carried her to the nearest room, Milady's bed, ignoring everyone else. Saving lives was the priority.

"Let's go help." Zhong Wuyan said seriously, leading the others to follow Cain.

He placed Jing on the bed, but Cain didn't know where to start. He didn't know why Jing was like this, and he had no medical experience. He only knew that he had to put her in a comfortable place.

Just as Cain decided to go find the Three Sages, a thought suddenly struck him. He sensed something moving within the Mirror, something pulling at him, pleading for help.

My heart is in turmoil, struggling fiercely, as if resisting some kind of invasion.

Immediately afterwards, blood seeped through Jing's tight clothes, staining her entire body red, a horrifying sight, as if her body was beginning to collapse from the inside out.

"what!!"

Xi Shi, who had just entered, let out a scream. She was so excited that she felt dizzy. The person covered in blood terrified her and left her at a loss.

Although she had lived a hard and difficult life in the Southern Wilderness before being brought to Jixia by Zhuang Zhou, and had seen many suffering people, she had never seen such a miserable state before. She was speechless with fear and her hands were in a panic, not knowing where to put them.

"Is there anything we can help you with?" Lian Po asked suspiciously.

"Make a long story short, give me a quiet space, and then send someone to find the Three Sages," Cain said quickly.

The situation is serious, and we must prepare for both sides.

"Is that all?" Milady frowned.

"Hurry up, there's not much time left." After saying that, Cain said no more.

Cain grabbed Jing's bleeding hand and pulled him into that desolate world.

"Hopefully she can hold on until the Three Sages arrive."

The kind-hearted Xi Shi, who could only watch from the sidelines, spoke softly as if in prayer.
