Wood Lady Mu stood quietly behind him. She could sense that her master was in excellent spirits upon returning this time, no longer carrying that exhausted feeling of having suffered endless torment. Especially between his brows, he seemed filled with powerful confidence. Yet she could also see the gravity within it, as though something momentous was about to happen.
She had once seen Bi Changchun use the treasured mirror in Yue Qianchou's hand. In truth, she desperately wanted to see what could be seen within it, but without Yue Qianchou's permission, she did not dare peek. Once she violated a taboo, the consequences would not be something she could bear. Yue Qianchou had lost his usual frivolous grin, and she simply stood silently behind him with her hands hanging at her sides and her head lowered...
The treasure mirror in Yue Qianchou's hand was called the Heavenly Eye Mirror. It signified the eyes of Heaven, able to secretly observe all things. It was a treasure passed down through generations of Punishment Envoys, specifically used to control the Demon Ghost Domain.
