Told You I Can Turn Back Time
Chapter 224 - 162: Sensation

Chapter 224: Chapter 162: Sensation

Listening to Bai Yiyi’s question, Hui Ling suddenly froze in place.

She rolled her eyes, staring intently at the puppet girl in front of her.

At that moment, a chill surged in her heart, "This Bai Yiyi has deep schemes. She appears innocent, but seizes every opportunity to set me up."

"It was like this last time at the Zhou Tian Sect meeting, and again at today’s competition..."

At this moment, Bai Yiyi, in Hui Ling’s eyes, had become a woman with deep cunning and insidious methods.

Although myriad thoughts churned in her heart, she still smiled faintly at her phone screen, saying, "Lin Xing’s performance indeed surprised me. I didn’t expect he could already defeat the elite disciples of the nine major sects."

"If he is willing, I can arrange for him to further his study in the sects of the Mirror World, which will surely make him even stronger."

Bai Yiyi asked, "Aren’t you also a disciple from one of the nine major sects, from Da Guangming Temple? How come you suddenly spit blood?"

"Look at me."

Bai Yiyi extended her hand towards the camera, "I just clashed swords with the Sword Maiden, everyone saw, didn’t you? Not a scratch on me, that’s real skill."

Hui Ling bit down on her teeth, barely managing a smile, "Uh... actually, I was injured during a mission overseas previously. Just now, the Sword Qi aggravated my wound."

Saying this, she handed the phone back to Bai Yiyi, "I have some matters to attend to, I need to leave."

Bai Yiyi used her phone to capture Hui Ling’s departing figure, saying, "That’s it, do you think I’ve offended Hui Ling now?"

She spoke to the camera, "It was all to ask your questions, now I’ve probably seriously offended Da Guangming Temple."

"They will certainly seek revenge against me."

"Better hurry and follow my account..."

Seeing someone send a reward, Bai Yiyi, her heart pained and frustrated, said, "Don’t send rewards here, this is not my account, go follow my account Bai Yiyi, I’ll be live streaming there from now on."

Meanwhile, Hui Ling hurriedly left the venue, not even staying for the post-match press interviews.

She knew that no matter what she said, it was already difficult to recover from today’s triple loss.

Hui Ling took out her phone and made a call, "Senior brother..."

Du Kong’s voice came from the phone, "Yes, I already know about the results of the exhibition match."

Hui Ling asked, "What should I do now? Should I continue to stay here?"

Du Kong, "You should stay in East Sea City for now; I reckon there are still some matters for you to handle."

Hui Ling felt a surge of surprise, "Given how the exhibition match turned out, what else is there to do?"

On the other side, in the audience stands, Su Ju stood up with a somber face.

He said to an official beside him, "This Lin Xing is too reckless. This exhibition match was meant for the peaceful cooperation between the two realms."

"Instead, for his tiny bit of personal gain, for a win, he’s prepared to lose face."

"This disrupts the grand scheme of international cooperation between the realms."

"Go and speak properly to the delegates from the White Eagle Country, make sure to express our apologies well."

Sighing, Su Ju walked towards the exit of the stadium, halfway through his phone rang.

A man’s voice came through the phone, "Uncle, how could it end up like this? Wasn’t it said that after losing, cooperation would be ensured and moves unnecessary? Now both stock prices and housing prices have crashed..."

Su Ju coldly said, "Don’t talk to me about such matters. With so many cities and companies needing to relocate, is everyone supposed to come to me?"

"You must follow the government’s directions, think more for the common folk, and don’t always be scheming for your own gain."

After finishing his piece, he hung up and looked up to see Lv Ming standing not far away.

Lv Ming said, "Su Ju, the massive migration from the Mirror World is imminent. Now is the time for everyone to unite. Any hindrance now could lead to thousands of casualties in the future."

Su Ju looked at him coldly, "Lv Ming, when you stand in my position, you will see things from an entirely different angle."

"For many common folk, to abandon the wealth they’ve accumulated over a lifetime to avoid enemies, they would rather stay and fight."

"Yet now, with a single stroke, many people’s generations of hard work are reduced to ashes, while others become overnight millionaires. Can you claim there’s no selfishness involved?"

Su Ju spoke earnestly, "I’m only exploring another possibility. I don’t want our citizens’ resources, accumulated through years of hard work, to be discarded like trash..."

Lv Ming looked at him, gravely saying, "But once people die, they lose everything. As long as they are alive, whatever we lose now, we can eventually reclaim..."

...

On the other side, Lin Xing was prepping with Jing Shiyu for an upcoming media interview when he suddenly spotted Mu Tianjiao, with her distinctive red hair, standing not far ahead, seemingly waiting for him.

Mu Tianjiao, "Didn’t expect you to master the second legacy so quickly, and even defeat the Sword Maiden."

Lin Xing looked at the Xingxiao Sect disciple before him, slowly recalling vague memories of her.

The last time he met Mu Tianjiao was at Taiqing Sect, where they fought against the Sword Maiden together.

But for Lin Xing, that was a long time ago.

He looked at her and asked, "Do you need something from me?"

Mu Tianjiao, "With the Mirror World opening more celestial gates and more people arriving in this world, Xia Country is likely already planning to cooperate further with Tian Jizi under this pressure."

She sighed and said helplessly, "The war between the two worlds will likely escalate further."

Following that, Mu Tianjiao earnestly added, "According to Master’s prophecy, in less than half a year, a catastrophic disaster will erupt."

"He said that you and he have similar abilities, so you should also be able to sense the existence of this disaster."

Mu Tianjiao asked with curiosity, "Do you know what exactly this disaster will be like?"

Lin Xing countered, "Hasn’t the Xingxiao Sect Leader told you?"

Mu Tianjiao shook her head. "Master only told me that many, many people will die and both worlds will suffer great damages. But he also never told me what kind of calamity it would exactly be."

"Moreover, these years he has been trying to prevent this major disaster, already changing many things that were supposed to happen in history. These actions have made the future even more unpredictable."

"Furthermore, since your arrival, your abilities have interfered with each other, and the future has become even more blurred."

Lin Xing concentrated on recalling a very old memory in his mind, but even now he still didn’t know what kind of disaster brought him back a year before.

Lin Xing frowned and said, "I’m not really sure what type of disaster it is either, but why does your master want to capture me?"

Mu Tianjiao didn’t respond to this question, but instead said, "A few days ago, Master told me that you were about to pass through the fixed portal to the Mirror World, right?"

Lin Xing asked, "Did he also foresee this?"

Mu Tianjiao nodded. "He said he would be waiting for you at She Shen Cliff, wanting to have a talk with you."

"Nowadays, most people, whether from the Mirror World or the present world, do not take his prophesized calamity seriously but are busy using each other and fighting amongst themselves."

"But Master said he believes you will understand the terror of that disaster, because you are the one destined for it, also the first to die in that calamity."

Hearing the words "She Shen Cliff," Lin Xing felt a slight stir in his heart, for it was precisely the place he planned to visit in search of unique skills.

"Can this Xingxiao Sect Leader even predict that I will go to She Shen Cliff?"

And upon hearing what was said next, he felt it was somewhat bizarre.

Although it had become incredibly vague and distant, he still remembered that he seemed to have died in his sleep and returned to a year before.

Lin Xing thought to himself, "Am I also a person destined for disaster?"

Watching Mu Tianjiao leave, Lin Xing became even more eager for his journey to the Mirror World, wanting to meet this legendary Xingxiao Sect Leader.

Following that, Lin Xing and Bai Yiyi, among others, accepted interviews from various media outlets.

News about the exhibition match quickly flooded the trending searches like a sweep.

Zhao Wanxi, watching all sorts of news on the trending searches, could almost feel through the screen the popularity of Lin Xing and Bai Yiyi at the moment.

"Now the delegation from White Eagle Country has certainly lost face, the people of the present world must be spirited and high-spirited."

Although Zhao Wanxi had been born and raised in Great Zhou, maybe because she had been confined to her home since she was young, she felt no sense of belonging to Great Zhou or the Mirror World.

Instead, her days in the present world were colorful and far happier than before.

If she had to choose, she would rather have been born in the present world.

"However, Hui Ling and Xia Jianlong are so miserable..." Zhao Wanxi thought, touching her chin, "Could it really be the effect of my Heavenly Lone Star? Could cursing someone over the internet really have such an effect?"

At this moment, Zhao Wanxi also began to suspect that her Heavenly Lone Star might possess some incredible power.

"If that’s true, wouldn’t I be the most powerful among these people?"

Thinking this made Zhao Wanxi feel a bit restless.

She decided to put it to the test and see if she really possessed such an ability.

"Whom should I try it on?"

Zhao Wanxi thought that her test subject must be someone very famous so that she could immediately know if something unfortunate happened to them.

Besides, it had to be someone she wouldn’t feel sorry for if they met with misfortune, as Zhao Wanxi still didn’t want some innocent person to die because of her curse.

Zhao Wanxi browsed through the platform and suddenly found her target. She immediately followed them with a new account and left a comment saying, "Du Kong, I see darkness over your brow area, it looks like bad luck is soon to come your way."

Not long after she left the comment, Zhao Wanxi saw many people starting to curse her in the comments below.

Zhao Wanxi didn’t have to think to know that these were undoubtedly Du Kong’s fans.

She had encountered more insults when managing Bai Yiyi’s account before; unphased by this, she was now anticipating whether her ability test would succeed.
