Why did she say that?
Lin Qiye looked into Si Xiaonan's eyes, as if he had thought of something. "Xiao Nan..."
Before he could finish, Si Xiaonan flashed forward. As she swept past Lin Qiye, a whisper drifted into his ear.
"Let me go."
Lin Qiye's body jolted.
Before he could do anything, Si Xiaonan's palm pressed against his shoulder, and a flash of black light burst from her hand.
Lin Qiye felt the world spin. He was sent flying backward, smashing straight through a wall of the Pill Hall and embedding deeply into the ground.
Si Xiaonan seized the opportunity to dart away. With a flicker of her body, she created three phantom clones that sped off in different directions.
Coughing, Lin Qiye rose from the crater. His gaze swept over the four Si Xiaonans fleeing in different directions, and he frowned as he drew Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi from its scabbard and gripped it in his hand.
He did not need to know which one was Si Xiaonan's true body. As long as he activated Mortal Divine Domain, the miracle would naturally make Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi strike at her true body. Before Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, which could cut through anything, Si Xiaonan could never escape this place.
But just as he raised Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, Si Xiaonan's words flashed through his mind, and his hand froze in midair.
After a moment of silence, he sighed and lowered Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi.
He still chose to trust Si Xiaonan.
Although he did not know what had happened, since Si Xiaonan had mentioned the green Higanbana, she must have been trying to send him a signal...
Si Xiaonan was still the Si Xiaonan from Team 136 in Cangnan City all those years ago.
Lin Qiye stood at the shattered entrance of the Pill Hall and looked up at the sky.
