Free Web NovelMingxi smiled unhurriedly at the two of them; although she wore a mask, the curve of her eyes conveyed genuine sincerity.
Bai ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) Ling had already stepped forward and handed over the invitation letter received by the Sealed God Stage.
“Yu Lao, Young Master He, I am Bai Ling from the Sealed God Stage. This is the Beast Tamers from our Sealed God Stage who wishes to form a contract with the mirror of creation and destruction. Please confirm, all three of you.”
Bai Ling took an invitation letter from her spatial item and placed it in front of He Changming.
He Changming merely glanced quickly at the invitation letter, then looked at Mingxi again.
“You are... Mingxi?”
Mingxi met the young man’s sharp, probing eyes, “It’s me.”
“It really is you.” He Changming’s gaze became even more unrestrained as he scrutinized her, his peach blossom eyes like hooks, yet not appearing frivolous.
Although Mingxi was meeting this young man for the first time, she had actually heard of He Changming’s name.
Because he was also ranked fourth on the New Talent Rankings.
However, he hadn't participated in the team-vs-team event that day, so today was their first encounter.
“Hello.”
Mingxi greeted him politely, her attitude neither humble nor overbearing.
She glanced at the studio door: “May I go in now?”
“Of course, I hope you succeed.” He Changming offered a perfunctory blessing.
Mingxi smiled, “I’ll take your auspicious words.”
He Changming’s lips also curved into a smile, then he nodded to the elder named Yu.
The elder surnamed Yu coldly scrutinized Mingxi twice, the sharp gleam in his eyes not exactly piercing, but certainly not friendly.
It was more like an indifferent, dismissive attitude.
He pulled open the door and said coldly, “Come in.”
Although the other party’s attitude was poor, Bai Ling still respectfully bowed to the elder and said, “Thank you, Yu Lao.”
Mingxi also quickly said thank you.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the three entered the studio one after another.
“Bang.”
The door closed tightly.
“Was that Xiao Guniang just now... Mingxi? The one ranked first on the New Talent Rankings?”
The two young men and one middle-aged man who hadn’t left yet had strange expressions, all staring at the closed door as if trying to penetrate it to see what was happening inside.
They had obviously all heard of Mingxi’s reputation.
“She actually qualifies to contract the mirror of creation and destruction? Didn’t they say she was a commoner?”
“She came through the Sealed God Stage. Is the Sealed God Stage planning to invest in her?”
“Who cares how she got the qualification, do you think she can succeed?”
“Don’t joke. How could a spiritual artifact find its master so easily?”
“But didn’t everyone say she’s the most monstrous genius the Alliance has ever seen? Could she...?”
“Spiritual artifacts don’t choose their masters based on talent!”
The two young men who had just failed their contracts huddled together, whispering and chattering. They weren’t in a hurry to leave now, planning to wait until Mingxi failed her contract before departing.
They all didn’t have high hopes for Mingxi.
It wasn’t that they had any particular dislike for Mingxi, but simply that they couldn’t stand to see others succeed.
After all, they had just failed themselves, so they naturally didn’t want anyone else to succeed. freewёbnoνel.com
The middle-aged man, however, had remained silent, though he too was frowning as he looked at the door.
Seeing this scene, He Changming merely smiled and lowered his head again to scroll through videos.
Meanwhile, Mingxi, who had entered the studio, habitually surveyed the room.
The room was as ordinary as its exterior, with only the glazed mirror in the very center being exceptionally dazzling.
It was very similar to the mirror of creation and destruction Mingxi had seen before, but that one was suspended from the ceiling, while this one lay flat on the ground.
At first glance, it looked like a magnificent and exquisite formation altar.
“You, stand above the mirror of creation and destruction, then cut your finger and drip the blood onto the mirror surface.” Yu Lao explained the contract method indifferently.
Mingxi followed his instructions.
The mirror of creation and destruction looked smooth, but stepping on it felt moist, like stepping into soft sand.
Mingxi looked down at her feet. Although the mirror of creation and destruction was named a mirror, its surface didn’t reflect even a trace of her image.
It was very peculiar.
“Drip.”
She deftly cut her finger with a small knife, and scarlet liquid fell onto the mirror surface.
It rolled around on the mirror surface.
Like a playful gem.
But after a long while, aside from the blood bead remaining congealed and rolling around, there was no movement from the mirror of creation and destruction.
“As expected, it still failed.”
Yu Lao’s expression was calm, his face showing neither an extra hint of mockery nor a diminished sense of indifference.
He had seen this situation many times and was long accustomed to it.
Even if the girl before him was a genius, he didn't think she would be the Beast Tamers who could successfully contract the mirror of creation and destruction.
Mingxi, however, couldn’t help but feel disappointed. She hadn’t thought about gaining much benefit from having this mirror of creation and destruction recognize her as its master; she cared more about whether she could return to the Abyss Secret Realm.
She had promised.
To take Lan Yue back to her hometown to see it.
Now the opportunity was right before her, but it was stopped here?
“Hurry up and come down.” Yu Lao urged, his tone clearly impatient.
Everyone who came to contract was unwilling, always dragging their feet and not wanting to come down, hoping that if they stalled long enough, the mirror of creation and destruction would still show a turning point.
Almost everyone required him to urge them repeatedly.
It was really annoying!
Mingxi could understand his difficulty, but she didn’t immediately act.
This time, she had to be shameless and be a deadbeat.
Her eyes seemed to transform into an endless, vast universe, with nebulae swirling and space-time intertwining, as if to absorb the mirror of creation and destruction beneath her feet!
“Buzz.”
A mysterious clear sound resonated in her mental sea.
The mirror of creation and destruction beneath her feet simultaneously changed, splitting and evolving into different patterns and light and shadow.
Indeed!
She had gambled correctly.
Spiritual artifacts could also manifest mysterious characters.
However, these characters were slightly different from those she had seen before, lacking that strong oppressive feeling that caused fear, even suffocation and despair, and also...
A mysterious and wonderful rhythmic beauty.
Could it be because this mirror of creation and destruction was man-made?
“Are you deaf? Get down now!”
Yu Lao’s voice grew even more impatient, his anger rising.
Bai Ling was about to speak up on Mingxi’s behalf when the mirror of creation and destruction suddenly lit up with dazzling light, instantly enveloping the entire room.
The rays of light were so blinding that Bai Ling and Yu Lao instinctively raised their hands to shield their eyes.
When the light faded, the mirror of creation and destruction’s brilliance receded, and from its surface, it quietly and gently released agile and peaceful ripples outwards.
Layer after layer, like lotuses blooming on a water surface.
But Mingxi’s figure had already vanished!
“Where... where is she?” Yu Lao exclaimed!
Bai Ling was equally astonished; this situation...
“Yu Lao, could it be that Miss Mingxi was pulled into the Abyss Secret Realm by the mirror of creation and destruction? Then, does this mean... she succeeded in the contract?”
“Bang!”
The door was suddenly pushed open.
Revealing the eager and curious faces of He Changming and others.
“What happened?!”
What happened?
Mingxi also wanted to know.
