At this time, in the remote little restaurant, the lights inside were dim. At this moment, a sharp sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from the sky, breaking the original silence here.

The woman's figure was as fast as lightning, and she appeared above the restaurant in the blink of an eye as if she had teleported. Then she slowly landed and walked into the restaurant. When she pushed open the shabby door, it made a creaking sound, which seemed particularly abrupt in this quiet space.

The boss who was dozing off at the front desk was startled awake by the noise and quickly opened his eyes. Seeing such a beautiful woman walk in, he was about to speak when she raised her hand to interrupt him.

The woman put a finger in front of her lips, smiled and said "Shh!", making a gesture for silence. Seeing this, the boss stopped talking.

The woman walked in slowly with light steps. In this inky-silent night, every step she took seemed to step on the silent heartstrings. The crisp footsteps were particularly loud, echoing in the small restaurant.

She walked straight towards the sleeping Chen Han, and a smile gradually appeared on her face. In this smile, all kinds of complex emotions were intertwined like silk threads.

She came to Chen Han's side, slowly squatted down, and gently extended her hand to Chen Han's face. The movement was as gentle as a breeze blowing over flowers. Her fingertips, with a hint of coolness, slid across Chen Han's cheek.

The next morning…

Chen Han slowly awoke with a headache, his eyelids feeling as if they weighed a thousand pounds. It felt like countless needles were pricking his head, sending waves of stinging pain through him. With great effort, he opened his eyes, only to be greeted by an unfamiliar environment, leaving him momentarily bewildered.

He subconsciously began to look around, his eyes filled with wariness and confusion. Suddenly, he saw Xiao Mengyue leaning against him, her peaceful sleeping face strangely calming him down. Not far away, he saw Chenyue sleeping there too. The familiar figure completely put his mind at ease, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.

But after a while, the things that happened in Lingxu Sect gradually emerged in his mind, and those thrilling scenes came to him like a tide.

He suddenly felt much more alert and sat up abruptly, completely ignoring the pain. He hurriedly tried to call out to the dark ring in the mirror, anxiously waiting for a response, but there was a dead silence all around him, no movement at all.

Chen Han frowned, his heart full of doubts and worries. He didn't believe it and whispered again, "Sister Mirror, are you there?" But he still didn't get that familiar response, and his brows couldn't help but frown even tighter.

Chen Han, anxious, stood up abruptly and ran out of the restaurant. His footsteps were so rapid that they stirred a small breeze. Soon, he reached a secluded, deserted spot.

He frantically groped in his arms and pulled out the mirror, his eyes fixed on it, filled with anxiety.

Then he began to touch the mirror with his fingers, pressing here, tapping there. His movements were random, yet filled with a sense of desperation, hoping to awaken the Dark Ring like last time. Beads of sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead, and his breathing became rapid, but the mirror still did not respond.

At this moment, Chen Han felt as if his heart had been hollowed out. He felt as if he had lost all support, his body uncontrollably collapsing on the ground like a puppet without its strings. His eyes were somewhat empty, and the scenes of that day kept appearing in his mind.

"Freak, I'm going to take you flying for a distance, and then use the remaining icy power to cover my vision and take them away quickly. My soul hasn't recovered yet, so I can't consume too much energy." Those words seemed to still echo in my ears. The tension, determination and worry at that time surged into my heart again. Every detail was so clear, but now, the Dark Ring had no reaction.

"Mirror Sister..."

...

Chen Han repeated these four words over and over again, but there was still no response. He felt helpless.

Mirror Sister's sudden departure left him at a loss as to what to do. How could he help Mirror Sister recover?

The tears gathered more and more in his eyes, and finally, hot tears burst out and flowed down his cheeks.

Just when Chen Han was feeling helpless and tears were streaming down his cheeks, a voice suddenly rang out, like a bright light that penetrated the haze of despair that enveloped him.

The voice came from the mirror, sounding very weak, yet filled with a hint of helplessness and doting. "I had originally thought of leaving without saying goodbye and falling asleep for a while. I wouldn't be asleep for long anyway, so I'd wait for the right opportunity to wake up. You wouldn't know anyway. But who would have thought! The first thing you'd think of when you woke up was me. I was both relieved and surprised."

"Seeing you crying so sadly here, I had planned everything in my mind before, but now that I'm faced with this situation, I really can't bear to do it, haha."

When Chen Han heard this voice, his heart, which had fallen to the bottom of the valley, was suddenly pulled back like riding a roller coaster.

He opened his eyes wide, and the despair in his eyes was instantly replaced by surprise. There were still traces of tears on his face, but he couldn't wait to move towards the mirror and hug it.

"Great! Sister Mirror, you're okay, I... I..."

Ming Jie's doting yet weak voice came again: "Alright, it's okay, you'll just be asleep for a few days. Who would have thought you'd remember me so soon? Even if you encounter any danger during these few days, don't be afraid, there's someone who will protect you."

After hearing these words, Chen Han's worries finally eased a little, but he still couldn't help asking curiously, "Sister Mirror, who is it?" He hugged the mirror tightly, staring at it without blinking, as if he could see the answer from the mirror.

Ming Jie spoke slowly, his weak voice revealing an unquestionable determination: "Well, I can't tell you this. This secret can't be revealed casually. Although neither of us spoke at the time, we still had some tacit understanding between us. You have to slowly ponder and experience this matter on your own, and unravel the secret bit by bit. I can't help you."

After saying this, the sound of the Dark Ring grew fainter and fainter, like a candle in the wind. After that, no matter how many anxious and anxious words Chen Han spoke, the Dark Ring remained silent.

However, those few responses just now made Chen Han feel more at ease. The worry in his heart gradually subsided, and he was no longer as anxious as before.

Chen Han was so immersed in this moment of peace that he forgot about going back home. He found a flat place, sat cross-legged, slowly closed his eyes, and began to meditate.

All around him was silent and still, with only the gentle rise and fall of his even breathing. He gradually entered a state of cultivation, his mind completely focused, as if the outside world had been cut off from him.

However, it wasn't long before an urgent call broke the silence.

"Chen Han!"

"Chen Han!"

...

The voice revealed urgency and was particularly loud in this silent environment. It was Chen Yue's voice.

Chen Han immediately came to his senses from his training and quickly responded loudly, "I'm here!"

When Chen Yue heard Chen Han's voice, his face suddenly lit up with joy, and he immediately hurried towards the direction where Chen Han was.

When she saw Chen Han sitting there safe and sound, the joy on her face instantly disappeared without a trace. She rolled her eyes at Chen Han, put her hands on her waist, exhaled, and said unhappily:

"What on earth are you doing? You woke up and ran out alone without even saying hello. Do you know that your sister is almost crying?"

Chen Han scratched his head embarrassedly, "I was so focused on practicing that I forgot! Sorry."

"You're so focused on your training! You're so focused! I've had so much trouble finding you! Go back now! It's time for us to leave."

Chen Yue angrily punched him...
