Before the Spirit Shrine in the Array Repository.
The incense had burned out, leaving only ash behind.
Bai Zixi and Bai Zisheng stood guard over Mo Hua's body while his Divine Sense was out, both somewhat weighed down with worry.
"Time's up. Why hasn't Mo Hua woken up yet?" Bai Zisheng asked anxiously.
Bai Zixi also frowned.
Just then, "Mo Hua" murmured and opened his eyes.
Joy lit up Bai Zixi's and Bai Zisheng's faces.
Bai Zixi asked softly, "Are you all right..."
For a moment, "Mo Hua's" gaze was bewildered. Then it gradually cleared, and he slowly sat up, nodded, and smiled.
"I'm fine."
The moment "Mo Hua" smiled, Bai Zixi's gaze chilled. Without hesitation, she struck with a knife-hand blow, knocking "Mo Hua" on the back of the head and sending him unconscious.
Bai Zisheng was shocked. "Zixi! Why did you attack Mo Hua?"
Bai Zixi shook her head. "He's not right."
"Not right?"
Bai Zisheng froze, then carefully looked Mo Hua over. His brow gradually furrowed, and he also noticed a few clues.
"Mo Hua's" aura had changed...
His face was not as adorable as before.
That smile just now had also felt somewhat off.
This was not his little junior brother.
Bai Zisheng then remembered some instructions Mo Hua had given long ago:
"If you notice anything wrong with me, knock me out immediately!"
Bai Zisheng nodded slightly and asked in confusion, "An Evil Spirit invaded his Sea of Consciousness?"
"It's possible..."
"That's not right... How could there be an Evil Spirit inside the Spirit Shrine?"
Bai Zixi shook her head. "I'm not sure..."
"Then where's Mo Hua?"
Bai Zixi turned her head and stared at the Spirit Shrine, her glasslike gaze somewhat profound.
Bai Zisheng opened his mouth. "He can't still be inside, can he..."
