Chapter 353: Mirror of Truth

Bai He remembered seeing two people secretly discussing Ye Shiyuan.

How infuriating.

Why had he not gone over and argued with them back then?

If he had, the range of suspects would have expanded, and his own suspicion would have been much smaller.

"Shiyuan, that still is not a reason for Elder Bai He to falsely accuse me of stealing the Starconch Bell."

Bai He noticed Ye Shiyuan’s gaze.

The situation had been rather chaotic at the time and he honestly had not thought that much about it.

He had simply acted on impulse.

"Shiyuan, I have the Mirror of Truth."

The Reveal Glass and the Mirror of Truth were not the same.

However, if they wanted to uncover the truth of the matter, perhaps the Mirror of Truth was the better choice.

Bai He vaguely remembered certain scenes from his memories.

His Master had once spoken to him with a meaningful expression.

He had said that Bai He could use all of his treasures, but there was one treasure he absolutely could not use.

It was the Mirror of Truth.

According to his Master, it was far too dangerous.

Ye Shiyuan naturally knew more about it than Bai He did.

"The Master of the Mirror of Truth has an extremely strange temperament. You must complete the trial he sets before you can learn what you wish to know."

It was different from the Reveal Glass.

With the Reveal Glass, you could ask its master anything and it would answer every question without holding anything back.

But the trials of the Mirror of Truth were far from easy to complete.

After Bai He understood the general situation, he took out the Mirror of Truth.

"Then let’s give it a try, Shiyuan!"

The Mirror of Truth was entirely black and extraordinarily large, making it especially conspicuous where it stood.

Bai He actually did not know how to use it.

His Master had also specifically warned him never to use it.

But at this moment, for the sake of clearing his own name, this was the only option left.

"Master, I’ll go in by myself."

Ye Shiyuan had learned a little about it from ancient records and roughly understood how it worked.

On the surface of the mirror was a terrifying vortex.

As long as someone entered that vortex, they would be transported into the world inside the mirror.

Only then would they have the chance to meet the Mirror Master.

Of course, some people entered and never met the Mirror Master for the rest of their lives.

Those with good fortune might simply continue living inside that world.

Those with poor fortune might die there without anyone ever knowing.

"Master, stay here and wait for me."

Naturally, Bai He was unwilling to agree.

However, just as Ye Shiyuan stepped into the Mirror of Truth, Bai He grabbed hold of Ye Shiyuan’s robe and followed him into the world inside the mirror.

Although Su Yuluan was outside, it was actually not a very safe situation.

However, Su Yuluan liked Ye Shiyuan so much that she would certainly keep this secret and would do everything she could to protect the Mirror of Truth.

"Master, you..."

Ye Shiyuan sighed helplessly.

Why had Bai He followed him anyway?

Sometimes, could he not be just a little more obedient?

Bai He looked at Ye Shiyuan with a somewhat aggrieved expression, as if saying that since he was already here, Ye Shiyuan should deal with it.

Ye Shiyuan held his hand and let out another helpless sigh.

"Forget it. Just stay with me. Do not wander around."

"Mm."

How could he not stay with Ye Shiyuan?

Ye Shiyuan had never been to a place like this either.

What if something happened?

If Bai He kept him within sight, perhaps there were still some things he could stop before they happened.

This place was completely unfamiliar.

At least, from Ye Shiyuan’s perspective, he had never seen anything like it before.

"Shiyuan, how much do you actually know about the Mirror of Truth?"

"I have only heard a little about it. The Mirror Master here is someone who loves creating things."

"Creating?"

Did that mean inventing things?

Creating objects that had never existed before?

That sounded rather strange.

"Master, his creations are different from everyone else’s. If I remember correctly, what he enjoys most is creating worlds, like the place we are standing in right now."

Bai He was reminded of a certain profession, game designers.

They seemed to do something similar.

Within the Mirror of Truth, the Mirror Master was invincible.

No one inside this world could harm him.

However, at the same time, he and the mirror shared the same life.

If the mirror was damaged, he would also be injured.

If the mirror was destroyed, he too would cease to exist.

As long as the mirror continued to exist, he would continue to exist as well.

The only condition was that he could never leave.

This was an entirely new world.

Bai He vaguely saw a figure appear before them.

The person wore a loose robe that completely enveloped his body.

Even his face could not be seen because his head was lowered.

Ye Shiyuan pulled Bai He behind him protectively.

Then they heard the person in front of them speak in a sorrowful voice.

"So... it was not him who came after all."

"Who are you?"

Ye Shiyuan looked at him with great vigilance.

"You have come into my domain, yet you are asking me who I am?"

From those words alone, Ye Shiyuan was almost certain of the man’s identity.

"So you are the Mirror Master of the Mirror of Truth. Please forgive my offense."

Ye Shiyuan had not expected that he would meet the Mirror Master the very moment he entered the Mirror of Truth.

This was completely different from what he had learned.

"The one behind you."

Only half of Bai He’s head could be seen, yet it gave the Mirror Master an indescribably familiar feeling.
