Bi Yao was startled by her own thoughts. She had only just met this man—could she already have fallen for him?
Her heart suddenly grew unsettled, and she said irritably, "You say it's the Joyful Union Bell, so it's the Joyful Union Bell? What proof do you have?"
Wang Yue had no idea what the girl was thinking. Assuming Bi Yao didn't believe him, he covered her eyes with one hand and cast the Dust Removal Spell. The skeletons in the cave instantly crumbled into flying ash, and he even cleared away the dust inside.
Bi Yao was startled by Wang Yue's actions, but for some reason, she didn't dodge. That only made her feel even more embarrassed.
After casting the spell, Wang Yue let go of Bi Yao and pointed to where the skeletons had been sitting. "Look. This is the proof that it's the Joyful Union Bell."
Bi Yao came back to her senses and let out a long breath before opening her eyes. Following the direction of Wang Yue's finger, she saw eight lines written behind the two skeletons:
On the night of the bell, a hundred flowers wither,
The figure grows thin, the temples frost-white,
Deep love brings a lifetime of suffering,
A lovesick heart suffers only for the loveless.
A bitter heart, unable to look back.
Regret comes too late; love is hard to bear.
The clear chime of the golden bell misled me into bloodshed,
A lifetime always...
Bi Yao kept repeating the words, "The clear chime of the golden bell misled me into bloodshed."
After reciting them several times, she finally began to believe it. She hurriedly took out the bell to examine it and was astonished to find the three characters "Joyful Union Bell" indeed inscribed on its inside.
She was shocked.
