After hearing Bi Ji's explanation, Dongfang Jing suddenly understood.
He thought: 'Strong mental power may be related to my being a transmigrator, but it is more likely due to the Hall of Ten Thousand Mirrors.'
"When Master restored my mental power, what did he see of my mental world?" Dongfang Jing asked curiously.
"Your mental world is..." Bi Ji suddenly stammered.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on her slender, smooth back, and she swallowed unnaturally.
"I...I don't know either. As for the mental world, let's explore it when you are stronger. Right now, you should focus on soul power cultivation and theoretical knowledge."
"Yes, Master."
Afterwards, Dongfang Jing asked a few more questions related to cultivation.
Although Biji is a spirit beast, she is a rare sage among spirit beasts, her wisdom even surpassing that of scholars and masters in the human world.
When Dongfang displayed his eye spirit bone, Biji immediately recognized it as a rare external spirit bone.
"The most special thing about external spirit bones is that they can evolve as their master's spirit power increases,"
Biji said after careful examination. "But your eye spirit bone seems even more special; simply increasing your spirit power alone probably won't be enough. I speculate that it will only evolve when your mental power reaches a certain level."
As they talked, the sky began to lighten.
Biji looked at her disciple, who was diligently absorbing the knowledge, and a gratified smile appeared on her face.
Even she herself felt that this scene was extremely unreal. She had actually decided to take a human as a disciple.
"Little Mirror~" she suddenly called softly.
Dongfang Jing looked up.
Biji met his gaze, her tone becoming solemn: "Since you have already become my disciple, it is only right and proper that I help you resolve your inner conflicts."
Her gaze fell on Dongfang Jing's earring, and she said softly, "If I were your sister, I would long for my brother to still be alive every day. Even if we could never meet again, this longing would not change."
With that, Bi Ji rose and left.
Dongfang Jing stood there, stunned, as the jade swan beside him gently pecked at his earring.
After a moment, the young man smiled with relief.
His master was right; he had indeed been too selfish, never truly considering Yao'er's feelings.
He took out paper and pen, and by the dim light of dawn, began to write earnestly.
Seven Treasures City, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
In her room, Dongfang Yao opened her tired eyes. Before her was a clean, luxurious ceiling and various priceless pieces of furniture.
Even the bed beneath her and the bedding were made of the most precious materials.
However, all this luxury could not compare to the preciousness of that familiar figure.
She hugged the blanket tightly, unable to resist the memory of the warmth of her brother beneath her.
But soon, a resolute light ignited in the girl's eyes.
From this moment forward, she vowed to redouble her efforts in cultivation, determined to find her brother's killer and avenge him!
Just as she rallied her spirits and prepared to retrieve a change of clothes from the necklace, she suddenly noticed something amiss.
The Gemini Star Vortex's storage space was a full fifty cubic meters, an enormous amount.
Even after placing their belongings inside, it still felt empty.
While Dongfang Jing didn't possess many personal items, his was filled with all sorts of things.
For example, he enjoyed cooking, so he had stored various kitchen utensils and seasonings, pots, pans, and dishes—everything one could need.
At that moment, Dongfang Yao keenly noticed that several pots and pans seemed to be missing.
Immediately afterward, a letter appeared out of thin air in her storage space.
Her hands trembled as she took out the letter, and her eyes instantly reddened when she saw the handwriting.
[Yao'er, it's your brother. I have so much to say to you, but first I want to let you know I'm safe. I'm alive, and doing very well. I'm currently in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, but don't worry, I'm safe. I met a kind Title Douluo senior who will take me as her disciple and is treating me very well. You don't need to worry about me.]
After reading the letter, Dongfang Yao burst into tears of joy!
It was indeed her brother's handwriting! He was alive!
She quickly wiped away her tears and eagerly took out paper and pen to reply:
[Brother, what is your exact location in the forest? I can ask Ning...]
She paused here, her pen suddenly stopping.
Dongfang Yao's eyes gradually deepened.
She had originally wanted to ask Ning Fengzhi to send someone to bring her brother out, but upon further reflection, she knew she absolutely couldn't do that!
The outside world believed her brother was dead, which ironically became the best cover.
If Ning Fengzhi knew her brother was still alive, he would definitely send a large number of disciples into the forest to bring him back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
At that time, her brother's mirror travel and the secret of the Hall of Ten Thousand Mirrors would be exposed! Her brother would definitely be used as a tool!
Although she was grateful to Sword Douluo for taking her as a disciple, Dongfang Yao would only recognize him as her master, not a teacher.
It wasn't a deeper bond; she was willing to learn swordsmanship diligently, and if she could achieve something, she would help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School when it was in trouble.
But she would never let the sect bind her and her brother! Bind her brother!
Previously, Dongfang Yao thought her brother was dead, and thought that joining the sect was fine, as long as she could gain the strength to take revenge.
Now that her brother was alive, she had to consider things more thoroughly.
'Brother said in his letter that he had taken a Title Douluo as his master? But he was clearly in the core area of the forest, so why did he say he was safe now?'
No matter how hard Dongfang Yao racked her brains, she couldn't guess the truth.
Even her brother hadn't fully figured it out, so how could she possibly guess that this Title Douluo was actually a soul beast with over 400,000 years of cultivation?
The little girl simply stopped thinking about it; since her brother said it was safe, she would believe him.
So she picked up her pen and continued writing:
[Dear brother, knowing you're still alive makes Yao'er so happy! You don't need to worry about me. I'm currently at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Sword Douluo has accepted me as his disciple. After much consideration, Yao'er has decided to stay here to cultivate for the time being.Although Yao'er really wants to be with you, brother, I'm too weak right now, and staying by your side will only be a burden. What are your plans, brother? Yao'er will listen to you!]
After storing the letter in her soul tool, Dongfang Yao anxiously awaited a reply; every minute and second felt incredibly long.
Soon, Dongfang Jing's reply arrived:
[Yao'er, brother must apologize to you. I once considered pretending to die, not telling you I was still alive, so you could stay peacefully at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and wouldn't have to hide from me anymore.]
I also considered going directly to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to find you, but that would probably make it impossible for us to escape, and my secret would be exposed.
In any case, I was too selfish, only thinking of myself and not considering your feelings. I'm sorry.
The letter ended there.
But Dongfang Yao already clutched the letter tightly to her chest, unable to resist gently kissing the paper.
Just as she was immersed in joy, Dongfang Jing sent another letter:
I've decided to follow my master to cultivate in the forest. This senior is very mysterious, but he's treated me very well. Yao'er, you must be careful of Ning Fengzhi at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School! Not only her, but also his daughter, Sword Douluo, and others—don't completely trust any of them! Be careful at all times. Don't deliberately hide your thousand-year soul ring and cultivation speed. If anyone asks, just blame it on me; after all, in the eyes of outsiders, I'm already gone.
Yao'er, you may have to stay there for a while. But don't worry, your brother will definitely become stronger as soon as possible! I will definitely come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to pick you up then!
