Chapter 2810 - 2811: Fusion
Chapter 2810: Chapter 2811: Fusion
But the lively table was missing Xue An, at least from Tang Xiao’s perspective outside the window, where she couldn’t see Xue An’s figure.
Strange!
Where did he go?
Tang Xiao was puzzled, and just then saw Ren Ning, who was eating at the table, put down her bowl, "I’m full!"
Saying this, she stood up and walked outside.
Sheng Hongqian, seeing this, couldn’t help but laugh, "Is Ning going to see the master?"
Ren Ning nodded, "My teacher has been in the room and hasn’t come out since he returned. I want to check on him!"
Niu Dali sighed, "Ning really cares for the master!"
"Of course, you should consider who our master is, Ning..." Zhang Xiaoqiang swallowed the food in his mouth and was about to continue when Sheng Hongqian glared at him fiercely.
Zhang Xiaoqiang quickly shut his mouth.
Ren Ning did not notice any of this; right now, her heart was only filled with concern for Xue An, so she hurriedly left.
Seeing her leave, Tang Xiao, who was eavesdropping outside the window, was secretly delighted and followed along.
The Xiyue Inn wasn’t actually large, so soon Tang Xiao followed Ren Ning to the outside of Xue An’s room.
There were two more people standing outside the door, Yun Lingxuan and Tuan’er.
They were also waiting for Xue An to emerge, hence they had skipped dinner.
Upon seeing Ren Ning arrive, they nodded to each other.
Ren Ning asked softly, "Has my master come out yet?"
Yun Lingxuan shook her head, "No!"
Ren Ning looked at the darkened window, a hint of worry appearing in her eyes.
But she dared not barge in recklessly for fear of disturbing her teacher, so she stood patiently outside the door and waited as well.
The three of them waited outside, but Tang Xiao lacked such patience.
Actually, she was curious about what exactly Xue An was busy with, hiding in his room and refusing to come out.
So she silently bypassed Yun Lingxuan and Ren Ning, arriving at the window.
The room was pitch black, only faint moonlight revealing what seemed to be a person sitting in front of the desk.
Tang Xiao saw him sitting quietly in the chair, seemingly staring blankly at two objects on the desk.
Apart from that, Tang Xiao couldn’t make out anything else.
So she gritted her teeth and melded into the wall again, entering the room.
Once inside, Tang Xiao held her breath, afraid Xue An would notice her.
But after waiting a moment, she saw Xue An was motionless, seemingly not aware of her presence, and she silently let out a breath, feeling slightly smug.
You think you’re great?
But you never expected I’d suddenly appear behind you!
This time, I want to see what you’re up to!
With that thought, Tang Xiao stealthily approached the desk.
Despite knowing that once she was in stealth mode, her presence was completely concealed, she nonetheless instinctively held her breath when she got close to Xue An, then peered at the desk.
The outcome greatly surprised her; atop the desk lay not books, but two shards of the Ancient Mirror!
One of the pieces had its surface densely covered with runes.
What was he doing?
Conducting some kind of ritual?
Tang Xiao was puzzled, but then heard Xue An sigh quietly.
This sigh sounded exceptionally piercing in the silent room, at least causing Tang Xiao’s heart to skip a beat.
Oh no!
Has she been discovered?
Just then, Xue An reached out and gently stroked the two shards of the Ancient Mirror on the desk, murmuring.
"This is the only solution I can think of. I hope when the fusion happens, you won’t disappoint me!"
It seemed to respond, as the Ancient Mirror shard covered in runes flickered slightly.
Xue An smiled faintly, "Good, it looks like you are ready. Now, let’s begin!"
With that, Xue An’s expression became solemn, and nearly transparent flames surged from his hand.
Though separated by distance and enhanced by stealth mode, Tang Xiao was still shocked by the intimidating force contained in the flames, unconsciously stepping back half a step.
What powerful flames!
Meanwhile, the two shards of the Ancient Mirror rose into the air, then were enveloped by the flames.
Boom!
The flames turned into a fireball, the scorching heat causing the air to ripple, indicating high temperature.
Xue An, however, didn’t even blink, simply sitting quietly and watching.
At that moment, a hysterical scream came from within the flames.
"Ahhh, master, don’t melt me, I promise I won’t be talkative again, I’ll listen to you!"
The scream came from the Ancient Mirror shard acquired by Xue An, which became audible once the shielding restriction he had placed on it was dispelled in the flames.
But Xue An was unmoved.
Now, the two shards within the fireball began melting, gradually being forced together by the flames.
The process was extremely slow, accompanied by the ghostly wails and howls of the mirror shard.
"Enough! I’m not taking your life, just letting you merge with another shard. Why are you crying?" Xue An said coldly.
"Master, you want me to merge with another shard? It’s purely taking my life away, and you’re letting a newly awakened shard take charge, how is it different from killing me?" The talkative shard protested desperately.
It turned out Xue An had spent most of the day in the room helping Yun Lingxuan’s shard of the Ancient Mirror awaken its intelligence.
The dense runes were written for this purpose.
Xue An had a straightforward idea; since altering the talkative shard’s personality was hard, might as well replace it with another shard.
Though a shard with newly awakened intelligence could be flawed, it meant better control.
Hence the talkative shard’s reluctance, as this was no different from erasing its existence.
"Master, you are a powerful figure of the Hua Clan, can you really bear to erase my spirit? I appeared alongside the Ancient Mirror!" the talkative shard made a final effort.
"Stop wasting words, true complete mirror spirit won’t be like you. You’re just a spirit born recently within the past century!"
Xue An outright exposed the shard’s lie.
The talkative shard wailed unwillingly, but it couldn’t change anything.
In the next moment, under the pressure of the flames, the two melted shards finally fused together.
Boom!
With a loud roar, the firelight dissipated, leaving a significantly larger shard floating in the air.
