Ye Xiu, Tang Luor, and Summer Mo arrived at the entrance of Ming Zhong University.
Ye Xiu initially intended to escort Tang Luor back to her dormitory, but she refused to let go of his hand.
With no other choice, Ye Xiu continued to lead Tang Luor along.
Upon entering Ming Zhong University, Ye Xiu planned to find his four close friends so they could investigate the Tang Family Mansion together.
Walking along the ancient cobblestone path, there were few people around. In the distance, several figures approached.
Among them, the most noticeable was a plump figure.
It was Qian Jinyu, accompanied by Zhao Wentong and Xie Bei.
However, Jiang Baixuan was nowhere to be seen.
As they got closer, Ye Xiu was about to greet them when a figure darted out beside him.
That figure was none other than Tang Luor.
Tang Luor raised a pair of delicate hands surrounded by white Spiritual Energy, looking as sharp as a knife capable of cutting through steel and concrete.
Her target was Ye Xiu's three friends.
Who exactly she aimed for remained unclear.
Ye Xiu felt a wave of panic; no one would have expected Tang Luor to act this way.
Qian the Fatty crouched down in fear, hugging his head.
Zhao Wentong stood confidently, unmoving; with his striking appearance, the goddess would never attack him for no reason.
Xie Bei stared blankly at the incoming Tang Luor.
By the time Ye Xiu reacted, Tang Luor had already flown ten meters away, leaving less than four meters between her and the three of them.
Despite this, Ye Xiu charged forward without hesitation, determined to stop Tang Luor.
But no matter how fast he was, it was too late now.
Tang Luor's hand strike was only one meter away from the three of them.
The target was Xie Bei!
Xie Bei clearly froze for a moment before pulling out a mirror to shield himself.
Tang Luor's hand strike slammed heavily against the surface of the mirror.
Instead of shattering as one would expect, the mirror only showed a few faint cracks.
Both Tang Luor and Xie Bei were momentarily astonished.
Tang Luor was surprised that Xie Bei could actually withstand her attack.
Xie Bei was astonished to find that his Protective Mirror had developed cracks after only absorbing a single attack.
This Protective Mirror was a unique treasure, something even the sect leader would go to great lengths to obtain.
The Protective Mirror could withstand all attacks from the Spirit Realm and would even reflect a portion of the damage back. Such a powerful artifact could turn the tide of battle in an instant during critical moments.
If it weren't for being unable to evade Tang Luor's knife hand, he would never have resorted to using this life-saving treasure. However, he never expected that such an artifact would only be able to block one attack from this girl, and that too without any weapon enhancement.
No amount of surprise would help him now, as the girl before him gave Xie Bei no chance to catch his breath.
After successfully blocking one attack, Tang Luor's next strike was even more ferocious.
A surge of Spiritual Energy erupted from her body, more white Spiritual Energy swirling around the edge of her hand.
Xie Bei had no choice but to raise the now cracked mirror in front of him for defense.
On one side was an unstoppable knife hand imbued with terrifying power, and on the other was a mirror that looked as if it would shatter at a mere touch.
Would this cracked mirror be able to save Xie Bei's life?
Even the previously intact Protective Mirror seemed incapable of withstanding the force Tang Luor was unleashing this time.
Tang Luor's knife hand was about to make contact with Xie Bei's mirror.
Meanwhile, Ye Xiu, standing beside Tang Luor, moved even faster, appearing to outsiders as if he had activated some kind of cheat.
Ye Xiu clearly felt the anger of Tang Luor and the destructive power of her knife hand.
Even if he faced that sharp knife hand, he would immediately lose his life without a moment to spare!
Ye Xiu decided to take a gamble.
He wagered his life just to confirm that this Tang Luor was indeed his Tang Luor.
Just when everyone, including Xie Bei, thought that Tang Luor's knife hand would shatter the Protective Mirror and strike Xie Bei's body, Tang Luor stopped!
In front of Tang Luor stood a slender figure, her sharp, delicate hand hovering just before Ye Xiu's eyelashes.
The wind from the knife hand stung Ye Xiu's cheek, causing it to flush slightly before a drop of bright red blood appeared.
“Tang Luor, it seems I was right. You must be my Tang Luor!” Ye Xiu managed to smile through the pain.
Behind Ye Xiu, Xie Bei sat down abruptly, startled as the mirror fell to the ground. The mirror did not break; instead, it spun several times before lying quietly on the floor.
“Why? Why do you have to…” Xie Bei swallowed hard, staring at the seemingly murderous Tang Luor.
“Why do you want to kill me on sight?” Xie Bei exclaimed, his face flushed with anger.
Tang Luor remained silent, while Qian Fatty looked around in confusion. Zhao Wentong, aside from worrying about Xie Bei, wore an expression of indifference as if the situation had nothing to do with him.
In the distance, Summer Mo was lying on the gravel path, playing with ants...
"Right? Tang Luor, I don't understand why you treat Xie Bei like that as soon as you see him?" Ye Xiu asked Tang Luor.
"I don't know! I don't know!" Tang Luor exclaimed, holding her head in despair.
"I just feel... it feels like seeing him is like facing a sworn enemy. I can't control my anger, I can't control my body! It's just..."
"Tang Luor..." Ye Xiu comforted, patting her shoulder.
"I... I... What have I done to deserve this..." Xie Bei said with a bitter smile.
Just because of this inexplicable reason, his precious Protective Mirror had developed cracks...
"Tang Luor, are you being controlled by some Demon? You've been acting strange these past few days..." Ye Xiu asked with a worried expression.
" Ye Xiu! I'm fine, really fine. You have to believe me; you're all I have left. If you don't believe me, then I have nowhere to go..." Tang Luor cried.
"Tang Luor. It's not that I don't believe you, but you've really been..." Before Ye Xiu could finish his sentence.
Tang Luor, crying even harder, ran away.
Ye Xiu didn't chase after her immediately; instead, he turned and reached out to Xie Bei, pulling him up.
"Brother. If it weren't for you, I might have..." Xie Bei said with a bitter smile.
"Brother, you don't need to do so much. Even if it's you, you would definitely step up to help me."
"Aren't you going to chase after her?"
"It's fine, I'll go later."
Ye Xiu called Qian Jinyu and Zhao Wentong over.
"I have something to discuss with you..."
"Boss, you!" Qian Fatty interjected.
Upon hearing the title "Boss," Ye Xiu could only smile helplessly.
Ever since that day when he escaped from the abandoned laboratory, Qian Fatty had started calling Ye Xiu "Boss."
"This matter was originally..."
Before Ye Xiu could finish, he noticed the three in front of him staring wide-eyed in terror...
