The Law of Heaven

Chapter 124 The Third Guest of the Mirage

As the Toyota Alphard drove along the brightly lit street, Xiangyi and her team remained silent for a long time, the atmosphere seemingly a little dull and awkward.

Things didn't turn out the way they expected.

A lonely boy who grew up by the sea suddenly learns that he is the legitimate young master of a large family, and that a beautiful girl sent by his family is there to greet him. Anyone would be overjoyed and would happily pack their things and go home to enjoy a life of luxury.

Unfortunately, things didn't turn out as expected.

But they actually refused.

They even beat them up.

They leaned against each other, gazing at the street scene outside the window, watching groups of two or three people emerge from the mall, the roadside decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

"It's clear that the member of the royal family is very resistant to the Prime Minister's family. He grew up here, he's closer to his uncle, and now his sister is his only family."

Hua Bo analyzed from the side, "Although he seems very arrogant and rude, we must have crossed his line. He is clearly the kind of person who values ​​emotions over interests. Such people are pure and cannot be tamed."

Xiangyi frowned slightly and said, "But if it's for his sister's sake, he should go home. It's just a separation, what's so unacceptable about that?"

Hua Bo sighed, "Perhaps there's some other source of confidence."

They were too reckless. There was too little information about the brother and sister. No matter how you looked at it, they were just ordinary children. They thought that no one could refuse the authority of the Xiang family, but they did not expect to encounter such strong resistance.

"If you ask me, the captain is just too aloof. If she played the role of a gentle older sister, using a mix of coaxing, cajoling, and affection, who could resist?"

Lin Jing deliberately puffed out her chest: "That's the advantage of being a beauty! You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub!"

"How could the captain do such a thing?"

Someone angrily retorted, "What do you take her for?"

"Alright, Ye Qing, I was just saying."

Ye Qing was the one who was hammering the tree by the fountain. Ever since he learned that the captain was going to serve the royal family, he has been emotionally unstable all day long, and he is obviously jealous.

Everyone knows that Ye Qing has been in love with the captain for many years.

The Ye family is also one of the six lower families of Jiuge.

Ye Qing has been cultivating diligently for many years, all in order to marry the captain and escape the control of the Xiang family.

Unfortunately, it seems like it's a long way off.

In fact, Xiangyi has many followers in the academy. Everyone knows that she is very talented, but unfortunately, she has two parents who are in prison. No matter how successful she is outside, she will be looked down upon by her clan when she returns home.

For many years, she has been frugal and diligent in her spiritual practice, striving forward like an ascetic, all in order to break free from the influence of her family of origin and truly gain dignity and freedom.

But all of this was destroyed because of Aihara's awakening.

Now, even though they are both dependent on each other, they have been expelled from school.

She had only two choices.

First, send Aihara back to his family.

Second, to become Aihara's protector.

"It's already this hour, and you're still making sarcastic remarks."

Ye Qing couldn't help but ask, "Do you think that guy deliberately pulled this stunt to humiliate the captain because the captain refused to be his protector?"

Everyone was slightly stunned.

It seems that this possibility is not entirely out of the question.

He became enraged because the captain refused to offer himself.

And then this happened.

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be going too far?"

Hua Bo frowned slightly.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you all."

After Xiangyi finished speaking, she suddenly received a phone call and silently went to the back seat of the car.

"Cousin Xiangyi".

She whispered, "I'm listening."

Xiang Yi's cold voice came through the phone: "Judging from your tone, the mission must have failed, right?"

Xiangyi pursed her lips and whispered, "He seems somewhat resistant and unwilling to leave his sister."

Xiang Yi said coldly, "Don't make excuses for your failure. If there weren't these objective factors hindering you, you would have gone home on your own. What would you be doing here? You are his protector, and it is your responsibility to bring him home."

Clearly, you haven't adopted the right attitude. You're treating him like an inexperienced nobody, so of course he'll be resistant to you. But royalty is royalty; without that perspective, you may never understand.

They stood in silence for a second.

The main reason that member of the royal family was unwilling to return home was that his sister could not go back with him.

This is a problem with the rules of the Xiang family.

But she couldn't say that.

Moreover, the reason why the conflict occurred today was ultimately because her teammates made a stupid mistake, but they were the partners she chose herself, so she had no choice but to accept it.

"Remember, you can't bring him back, or you'll lose everything your family has given you. Think about it yourself."

Xiang Yi said, "There's no rush for this matter. Let's leave it at that for today. The barrier of the Netherworld is about to activate. You have one hour to come back. There are still some tasks here that I need you and your team to handle."

Furthermore, I have a secret mission for you: if you have time, keep an eye on Professor Mu. My Clear Eyes tell me that this person seems to be hiding something.

Xiangyi's pupils narrowed slightly as she thought to herself, "As expected of the Pure Eyes, they always manage to discover things that others can't even notice."

"I see."

She whispered, "I'll be right back."

As for how to persuade that member of the royal family to return home, we can only try to understand his needs and then slowly come up with a solution.

Deep Blue Mansion, Building 8, Unit 2.

The van stopped downstairs, and Aihara and Aishi registered their fingerprints on the locks of their new home. Then, carrying their bags, they began the move.

The moving company staff carried the packed boxes upstairs one by one, and also helped pick up some large furniture that the brother and sister had bought a few days ago from the courier station.

After Aihara and Aishi politely thanked them, they bought them a few drinks and then saw them off.

After seeing the guests off, Xiangsi silently went to unpack the boxes. She hadn't spoken a word since the Xiang family left, and she hadn't uttered a single word on the way here either.

It was just taking things apart.

Tears fell down.

"Why are the little pearls falling out?"

Aihara squatted down beside her, casually pulled out a tissue and wiped away her tears: "What's there to cry about?"

Like a wronged kitten, tears streamed down her face as she sniffled, "Brother, have I been a burden to you, a drag on your life?" "What kind of talk is that?"

Aihara patted her head and comforted her, "If I didn't have you, I wouldn't even know where the toilet paper is. Logically speaking, I'm the one who's a burden to you."

Xiangsi raised her tear-reddened eyes and looked at him: "But if it weren't for me, you could have gone to the main family and become the eldest young master. They must have a lot of influence over there, right?"

Aihara shrugged: "No matter how much power they have, they're not as important as you. Besides, they don't really value me that much. If they really valued me, would my second uncle have brought me here back then? If they really valued me, they wouldn't have welcomed me back in this way. Even if I did go back, I might not have a good life."

Who knows, I might even have to work for the Xiang family and abide by their feudal rules—the thought alone is disgusting. Everyone has their own way of life, and clearly that's not for me, so I'd rather be with you.

Xiangsi pursed her lips and tore at the cardboard box, saying, "But you gave up a better future, and you even clashed with them for my sake. What if something happens?"

"What good is a bright future without you? My second uncle is gone, you're my only family. Without you, what's the difference between me and a wandering ghost?"

Aihara flicked her head and laughed, "Besides, what's there to be afraid of in a conflict? Look how cowardly they are, they're not any tough guys at all."

Xiangsi lowered her head and said, "I just don't want to cause you trouble, and I don't want you to take risks for me."

"So you want me to go to the Xiang family?"

Aihara said irritably, "Is that so?"

Xiangsi raised her head and nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

Aihara rolled her eyes: "You're willing to break up with me?"

"I will strive to cultivate myself and find you."

“Look me in the eyes and say it again.”

The brother and sister looked at each other for a while.

Xiangsi burst into tears and threw herself into his arms like a kitten, wailing loudly.

"I can't bear to part with it..."

Aihara smiled helplessly, reached out and stroked her long hair, comforting her, "Alright, alright, just say you don't want to go. I'm not going anywhere. Even if I really have to go, I'll take you with me. If anyone tries to stop you, I'll twist their head off."

Damn, that's really strange.

His personality wasn't originally that volatile.

It must have been influenced by Xiao Qi.

It's all Xiao Qi's fault.

"I bother."

Xiao Qi retorted in his mind.

She cried for about half an hour before she calmed down. She went to the bathroom to wash her face and seemed to have regained her energy, no longer feeling wronged.

That's how girls think.

Sensitive and fragile, easily hurt.

I wonder what's going on in that little head of his.

Silly.

Fortunately, Aihara discovered it in time; otherwise, this incident would have become a thorn in the little girl's side sooner or later.

"Brother, if you have something to do, you go ahead. I need to call a cleaning lady to help me pack my things."

Xiao Si's voice came from the bedroom.

"I have to go out for something and will be back around midnight. If you're hungry, order something for yourself, okay?" Xiang Yuan was already a little anxious. He hadn't been back to the shop for a long time and had to go back and check on it today.

Now that we've moved, we don't have to worry about safety anymore; everyone living here is a big shot.

"Okay, okay."

Xiao Si answered cheerfully.

Aihara felt relieved and took a taxi to Zhongfu Street.

The Mirage Tower remained as quiet as ever, like an abandoned place isolated from the world. Because I left in a hurry last time, the lights in the shop were still on and the doors were open.

After Aihara entered, everything in the shop remained the same.

The evil spirit clone he created last time is still hidden in the toilet. It's his trump card for sending someone to take his place at any time, but he hasn't used it yet.

Aihara carefully inspected the area.

Nothing has changed.

All I can say is that the rules here are really strict.

To this day, Aihara still doesn't know how his second uncle became the owner of this place; it remains a mystery.

However, according to Aihara's speculation, the second uncle was probably not the first owner or creator of this place.

"My second uncle once said that his biggest trump card was that he was rejecting him and was desperately looking for a new master. Could it be that the Misty Tower is actually sentient?"

Aihara looked around the shop and suddenly remembered a crucial question, so he quickly asked, "Kori?"

no respond.

Xiao Qi is still asleep, unconsciously muttering in her sleep.

Aihara called out several times, but couldn't wake her up no matter what he did. This shouldn't be because Xiaoqi was sleeping too soundly.

"Xiao Qi's consciousness will not awaken here."

Aihara murmured, "Or is it that the existence of the Mirage Tower is suppressing the consciousness of a Heavenly Principle?"

This is truly an incredible thing. It seems that the status of the Misty Tower is far higher than he imagined. No wonder no one has been able to violate the rules here for so many years.

When Xiang arrived at the counter, he found several missed calls on the specially made landline, all from the same number.

Sure enough, someone else received the token.

Aihara dialed that number back.

Ding dong.

After a brief silence, a woman's voice rang out. Her voice was deep and hoarse, like fingernails scratching on a blackboard: "Hello, is this Mirage Tower?"

That's a fucking awful sound.

You could tell she was an old hag the moment she opened her mouth.

For some reason, Aihara felt the voice sounded familiar, but he was used to the store's procedures by now, so he casually replied, "Yes, and you are?"

The woman on the phone politely said, "My name is Mu Bei, and I come from the Faith Department of the Central True Privy Academy."

Aihara's pupils contracted slightly.
