"Senior Sister Qi, why are you here?" Lu Chengfeng paused slightly, then broke into a bright smile as he walked toward Qi Lingxi.

"I've been waiting here especially for you," Qi Lingxi's figure was shrouded in a misty green glow, like a veil of water vapor, making it hard to see clearly.

Lu Chengfeng's heart fluttered; Qi Lingxi's words seemed to imply she knew he was about to leave.

"Oh, has Senior Sister been watching over me? I am truly blessed then; if Senior Brother Chu hadn't acted first, I would certainly have asked my father to permit me to marry you, Senior Sister."

He laughed cheekily while carefully examining the woman across from him.

This woman's figure was alluring, clad in a silk dress with a white base and green edges, and a long green satin belt cinched her waist, falling down elegantly, making her appear graceful and slender.

Yet, there was a layer of hazy, clear light around her, making her look like an illusionary flower in a mirror or the moon in the water; one could swear they saw her face, but when trying to recall it in detail, it completely eluded memory.

"What a profound magic!" Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

The magic on this woman not only concealed her form and features but more importantly, it masked all her Qi Mechanism, making it impossible for anyone to perceive her true essence.

In the top three of the True Inheritance of the seventy-two Tao Veins, cultivation had already surpassed the Celestial Human; without a doubt, Qi Lingxi was one of them.

"Du Mengyao also possesses an Immortal Bone and is not far from breaking through to Celestial Human, but compared to Qi Lingxi, she is still lacking."

Lu Chengfeng's judgment was sharp; just from this single Mirror Flower Water Moon magic, he knew that the other party was no ordinary person, her cultivation level likely exceeding many people's imagination.

Upon arriving at the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect, he realized that the combined heritage of all factions in the Martial World of the Thirteen States couldn't compare to the profound resources of the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect.

Even the thousand-year legacy of the Yuncang Sword Sect, with the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword and the Dragon-Binding Rope left by the founding ancestor, still paled in comparison to the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect.

The Celestial Law-Controlling Sect, with its power alone, could suppress the entire Martial World.

"No wonder the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect was once designated a Holy Land and could stand against the entire Great Chu Dynasty, truly intimidating with its deep foundation."

Chu Zhihe followed behind Lu Chengfeng in silence, even though the woman across from them was his future daughter-in-law, even though Qi Lingxi was being teased by Lu Chengfeng, he acted as if he hadn't heard a thing.

"Why bother with such glib words, Junior Brother; I have something to tell you, may I invite you into my mirror for a while?"

As Qi Lingxi spoke, her left hand slowly rose, and an Ancient Mirror floated on her palm. The mirror was like the moon, its surface mottled, surrounded by bronze designs resembling various exotic beasts from ancient times, reflecting the sun, moon, and stars in faint images, or rather, appearing as if woven from countless runes upon closer inspection.

"Oh?"

Lu Chengfeng squinted his eyes involuntarily, indeed, Qi Lingxi was the fiancée of Chu Tiange; if someone claimed she harbored goodwill toward him, that would be nothing short of ludicrous.

"Senior Sister Qi, are you here to stand up for your fiancé? To rescue your mother-in-law?"

"Alas, Senior Sister you're really wronging me, please don't misunderstand; I've never restrained Elder Chu. She can come and go as she pleases here with me."

"If she wishes to leave with you, I certainly won't object if you take her away right now."

Qi Lingxi glanced at Chu Zhihe, having privately used the Lingxi Mirror to check the eerie red glow deep in Chu Zhihe's Primordial Spirit, which might fool others but not her eyes.

"My visit today has nothing to do with Elder Chu."

"I heard you possess a treasure, Junior Brother, and wish to see it,"

She paused slightly here, then continued with a Secret Transmission.

"The chain... Junior Brother should understand my meaning, shouldn't you?!"

Lu Chengfeng's entire body trembled violently, his real body within the Hidden Dragon Cave Heaven abruptly opening its eyes, flames fiercely burning in his pupils, the five great mountains trembling slightly, and Five-Colored Sword Light soaring to the sky, ready to launch.

"How... could she know?"

The sense of urgency and peril in his heart skyrocketed to the extreme, a chill of murderous intent swelling in his chest, ready to erupt into a heaven-shattering, earth-moving desperate strike at any moment.

"What do you mean by this, Senior Sister?" Lu Chengfeng's tone turned somewhat cold.

"I mean no harm, just wish to invite you for a short while," Qi Lingxi once again raised her left hand, the Lingxi Ancient Mirror floating in her palm.

Lu Chengfeng stared at her intently, after a long while, he asked in a somewhat somber tone, "What should I do?"

"Nothing else, just need a strand of your mind to enter the mirror," Qi Lingxi said with a smile, having anticipated everything before her.

Lu Chengfeng snorted coldly, "You better not play any tricks, or there will be no good outcome for you."

With that, he instructed Chu Zhihe, "Elder Chu, if this woman makes any move, kill her with a single sword, do not hold back."

"Yes, Master," Chu Zhihe replied with a sword in hand.

Only then did Lu Chengfeng take a deep breath, letting a strand of his mind fall onto the surface of the Ancient Mirror.

Clang!

The light and shadow on the Ancient Mirror rippled like water waves, and Lu Chengfeng felt the world spinning. When his mind could once again sense the surroundings, he realized he was on a lake.

"Is this, a Grotto Heaven?!" Lu Chengfeng was deeply shocked, but soon noticed something was amiss, "This isn't a Grotto Heaven, it seems to be... some kind of illusion?"
