Chapter 281: Master of Tianji Pavilion (30)
The figure in the water mirror adjusted his sitting posture and said casually, "It is not difficult for me to gather the soul of the person you mentioned, but why should I help you?"
He chuckled, his voice was not loud, but it struck Zhan Yun's heart hard.
"Give me a reason to help you."
Zhan Yun raised his eyes, and there was a hint of contemplation in his heartless eyes. He knew that this was his last chance.
Whether Wang Shu's soul can be reunited, all hopes now rest here.
but……
It seemed that there was really nothing about him that could impress this person.
Zhan Yun retracted his gaze and after a moment of silence, he spread out his palm, with a black and purple magic core suspended on it.
The magic core floated in front of the water mirror.
Zhan Yun lowered his head in a gesture of submission: "I know I have nothing that can impress you, sir. Now I only have my life to spare. I will hand it over to you, sir. Life and death all depend on your decision."
Zhan Yun made the same decision as the five demon generals did.
The figure in the water mirror seemed to be interested, and the magic core was absorbed into it.
But just when a glimmer of hope appeared in Zhan Yun's eyes, the magic core was sent out again.
The man was somewhat uninterested: "What do I want your life for?"
Seeing this, Zhan Yun pursed his lips, clenched his fists, and his mind was working rapidly, wondering what bargaining chips he still had.
However, no...
Zhan Yun felt somewhat desperate; hope was right before his eyes, yet out of reach.
Seeing this, Yan Qing, who had been silent, sighed softly in his heart.
The adults' bad taste...it really hasn't changed in hundreds of years.
After spending so much time with adults, Yan Qing could still see a little bit of what the adults were thinking.
If he didn't want to interfere in the affairs of Zhan Yun and Wang Shu, he would never give them a chance, let alone teasing Zhan Yun like he is doing now.
Look how scared he is.
Yan Qing raised his eyes and spoke softly to the figure in the water mirror: "Sir, it's time for the Space-Time Administration to absorb some fresh blood. He can remember the people who were wiped out by the laws under the operation of the world's laws. His willpower is evident."
Hearing this, the figure in the water mirror patted his robe and stood up. He flicked the dust off his sleeves and said, "Now that you mention it, I remember something."
Yan Qing was still a little confused: "Hmm?"
The man said in a rather teasing tone: "Those three new guys in the Administration, are they also fresh blood you recruited?"
Yan Qing's expression remained unchanged: "Nothing can escape your eyes."
The Space-Time Administration was originally built relying on the power of adults. The taskers coming and going inside cannot escape the perception of adults.
When leaving the subsystem in Karenville's small world, Yan Qing guessed that Karenville and the others would activate this subsystem.
So she was relatively calm about all this.
Not seeing the desired expression on Yan Qing's face, the figure leaned to the side like a boneless person.
"Hey, Xiao Yanyan is still so rigid and boring."
"By the way, those three little guys were kicked into another mission world by 001. They were too noisy."
Yan Qing didn't react at all when being called boring.
Just kidding, if this adult finds it funny, then I'm really done for.
Yan Qing has not forgotten how difficult it is for those task performers who are considered interesting by the adults in the Space-Time Administration.
What really changed Yan Qing's expression was the second half of the sentence.
She couldn't help but feel a little subtle.
No matter which of the three, Karenville, Ivy Jones and Cheng Jiyang, she could not associate them with the word noisy.
But before Yan Qing could think further, he heard that the figure seemed a little sleepy. He yawned and looked at Zhan Yun.
"Forget it. For Xiao Yanyan's sake, I will help you this time."
After saying that, the figure in the water mirror just lifted his eyelids lightly, and his gaze passed through layers of obstacles and fell on the immortal ladder thousands of miles away from the Astrology Pavilion.
He raised his hand, and dots of fluorescent light gathered on his fingertips, causing the entire small world to vibrate and hum for a moment.
Zhan Yun’s eyes gradually widened, and he felt a hint of the aura of the art of vision from them.
The next moment, countless lights rushed towards the water mirror. When the light faded, only a soul with closed eyes was seen floating in the air.
The figure in the water mirror waved his hand, and the soul floated down. Zhan Yun wanted to catch it, but his hands passed through the soul. He could only watch the soul fall to the ground.
Yan Qing used a strand of her power to catch the soul that looked like her now, and sent it to Zhan Yun before saying faintly, "My Lord, you are still the same as you were back then."
The man was not angry, and smiled and said, "Don't be too happy too soon, both of you. Although his soul has been found, it is not easy to wake him up."
Yan Qing frowned, and soon figured out the key.
As expected, the figure continued to say to Zhan Yun: "The reason why he was able to recover his soul this time was because of the merits and virtues he had accumulated."
"But in this world, he is doomed to die. He cannot repair his soul in this small world."
Zhan Yun pursed his lips, guessing that since the Lord said this, there must be a solution. He lowered his eyes and pleaded solemnly: "I hope the Lord can tell me how to repair Wang Shu's soul."
The figure did not open his mouth to answer the question, but turned to Yan Qing. Yan Qing knew that the adult was being lazy again and felt it was a waste of words.
She felt a little helpless, but she continued what the adult had not finished saying: "Become a tasker and go to other small worlds to earn merits, so that you can repair Wang Shu's soul."
"Your fate in this world is to die. Now, the only way to break the deadlock is to put yourself in danger and survive."
In fact, there are other methods, but they are too complicated and Wang Shu cannot afford to wait.
After Yan Qing finished speaking, the figure in the water mirror threw out a ball of light.
The ball of light merged into Zhan Yun's body the moment it touched him.
Suddenly, a mechanical sound rang out in the sea of consciousness: "Beep——"
"System binding successful."
"Hello host, I am system X6888, nice to meet you."
Before Zhan Yun could come back to his senses from the state of having something extra in his sea of consciousness, he heard the figure in the water mirror speak again.
"In this small world, you will assist Yanyan in maintaining the plot line. X6888 will tell you everything you want to know. I don't have much patience to answer them one by one for you."
Then, he threw out a jade pendant.
"This item can warm his soul and keep it from dispersing. Once this small world is stable, you can go to another small world from the Spacetime Administration to accumulate merits. Use the power of merits to stabilize his soul and wake him up."
