CHAPTER 387: CHAPTER 249: HEAVENLY DESTINY MIRROR, DIVINE ARTIFACT OF THE EIGHT DESOLATES
Upon seeing Yun Sheng abruptly calling out to Ji Mo, several people in the clinic were momentarily stunned.
They looked at the two with uncomprehending eyes.
On Yun Sheng’s face, there was no ripple of emotion, as if she were just casually chatting, "Should I call you Ji Mo, or Xia Siming?"
On Ji Mo’s ordinary face, a hint of ripple finally appeared.
He started speaking with some difficulty, "When did you discover it?"
Ji Mo was none other than the beautiful, Banished Immortal-like, Junior Fate of Yujing Temple, Xia Wenxu!
In Yujing Temple, even Zong Ren had heard of the name Xia Wenxu.
One of the unparalleled geniuses of Wuji Five Treasures at Yujing Temple, Xia Wenxu, turned out to be this ordinary-looking and usually reticent young man.
Only now did Doctor Fan and Yao Rong understand why Xia Wenxu’s Light Magic was so profound; it was said that Xia Wenxu had been a Sky Mage three years ago, with his Light Element Magic able to resurrect the dead.
Compared to everyone’s varied expressions, Yun Sheng appeared to be very calm.
"It has been some time now. I always suspected that you were from the Temple, but I did not expect that someone of high status like Si Ming would lower himself to work incognito in our clinic," Yun Sheng’s tone even contained a hint of regret, "Ji Mo" was a great talent.
"Was it my behavior, or was there a flaw in my magic?" Xia Wenxu didn’t understand where his disguise had gone wrong.
Since his identity had been uncovered anyway, Xia Wenxu simply dispelled the magic on his body.
He had been using a type of Illusion Magic, similar to Disguise Magic, but the attributes were different.
Once the magic was dispelled, Xia Wenxu’s unforgettable face suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
With his eyebrows sharp as swords and his eyes bright as stars, he radiated a gentle aura as brilliant as the sun and the moon, akin to a Banished Immortal.
"Your behavior is impeccable, your magic is also perfect, but it is precisely because it is too perfect that it catches the eye," Yun Sheng hadn’t recognized Xia Wenxu’s identity until several months had passed.
His flawless demeanor, just like the best model student, caused Yun Sheng to become suspicious.
What completely confirmed Xia Wenxu’s identity for Yun Sheng was the wound on Xiao Yun.
Earlier she had thought the wound on Xiao Yun was healed by Doctor Fan, but when she re-examined Xiao Yun, she discovered a trace of Light Magic Element within her body.
Due to the presence of a Dark Magic Soul inside her, Yun Sheng was particularly sensitive to Light Magic.
Moreover, that trace of Light Magic Element was very pure; in Yun Sheng’s memory, such pristine Light Magic was only seen in one other person—Xia Wenxu.
"Unexpectedly, my striving for perfection became my biggest flaw," Xia Wenxu realized, in front of Yun Sheng, all his disguises were so fragile. He overlooked that this girl, who had bright eyes when they first met, now showed a captivating brilliance that even he couldn’t help but notice.
The time for departure had come. Since his identity was recognized, Xia Wenxu could no longer stay at Little Ci’en Hall.
Moreover, Grandmaster Wen had also sensed his identity, it seems. In this period, the feeling of something not being quite right at Little Ci’en Hall was probably also noticed by the observant Chang Siming.
Lately, Xia Wenxu wasn’t sure why, but the frequency of reports sent back to Yujing Temple had been decreasing.
Like the affairs of the Magic Medicine Store, Xia Wenxu knew he should have reported back to the Temple, but he hadn’t done so.
Like not supposed to save Xiao Yun, yet Xia Wenxu did save her.
To others, this might seem like the compassionate benevolence of the Junior Fate of Temple towards the world, but Xia Wenxu himself knew best that he wasn’t that merciful.
The reason he did all this, was all because of Yun Sheng.
She favored her, habitually watching her secretly in the clinic, disliking to see her frown and liking to see her wrinkling her brows from the sourness of the plum juice yet smiling naïvely.
His concern was that one day he would meet Yun Sheng in battle because of matters related to the Magic Temple.
"It seems that my identity is no longer suitable for staying in Little Ci’en Hall, thank you all for your care during these days," Xia Wenxu restored his original appearance and reverted to the gentle, polite genius Si Ming whose every action was beyond reproach.
"Si Ming, you’re being too polite, you’ve been a great help to us recently. This bottle of Moon God’s Praise is your payment," Yun Sheng gave him a bottle of Moon God’s Praise before he left.
Seeing the bottle of Magic Potion that shone like flame-colored morning clouds, Xia Wenxu was momentarily stunned.
She sensed his intention.
Without the embarrassment of being discovered or any refusal, Xia Wenxu calmly accepted Yun Sheng’s gift.
He took the Magic Potion and returned to the Yujing Temple, where Yu Ji and the solitary brothers had been waiting for some time.
The brothers were a bit taller and looked more mature than two years ago but still had the visage of children.
"Si Ming, you’re finally back. Where have you been lately? If you hadn’t sent messages every few days, we would have thought you had gone missing," they said.
Xia Wenxu didn’t explain, as he was a man of few words. The few months at Little Ci’en Hall had made him speak more than he had in the past dozen years.
"During your absence, Chang Siming sent a letter," Yu Ji and the solitary one dared not look at Chang Siming’s letter without permission, so they eagerly awaited Xia Wenxu’s return.
Xia Wenxu opened the letter, which bore his master’s bold and strong handwriting that sprang forth from the paper.
The matter starts from a few days ago, when the strife between Yun Sheng and the Medicine Emperor Pavilion had not yet officially begun.
A few days ago, Chang Siming was praying at the Magic God Altar in the Temple.
That was a daily rite for Chang Siming.
Very few knew, or rather, only two people in the world knew, that in a deep room within the Temple lay a Divine Artifact that shocked the entire continent, the Heavenly Destiny Mirror of the Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts.
When exactly the Heavenly Destiny Mirror came into the possession of the Temple is unknown.
And very few knew of the specialty of the Heavenly Destiny Mirror, because in the Temple, only the senior and junior Si Ming knew its function.
From the outside, the Heavenly Destiny Mirror looked like a standard floor mirror.
However, the surface of the mirror was not the usual brass color found in Wuji Continent but was blurry, shimmering with a pearl-like starlight, whether day or night.
This seemingly ordinary mirror reflected the major trends of the world.
If there were no wars in the world, the mirror would show a gentle starlight; but if wars occurred, the mirror would cast a blood-red light.
For the past few decades, the mirror mostly displayed a gentle starlight.
That day, as usual, after completing his prayer, Chang Siming was about to leave when suddenly the color on the mirror changed.
The entire mirror turned into a sea of blood-red light.
Upon seeing this, Chang Siming immediately approached the Heavenly Destiny Mirror.
On the mirror, a figure appeared.
**Thank you, if Meng and Little Minion, for the rewards**
