A master of metaphysics is farming.

In the bamboo grove behind the private school, two people stood one in front of the other.

The dense bamboo leaves swayed in the wind, casting countless shadows, while moonlight shone through the gaps, illuminating the two figures.

"What brings you here, young lady?"

Xiang He placed her finger on the stone table beside her and circled it along the edge. "Xiang Fusheng fainted here, didn't he?"

Xing Ji was slightly taken aback. "The young lady is intelligent."

"Don't be so clever. If I didn't have some skills, I really couldn't save him."

"..."

Ignoring his expression, Xiang He turned around and sat down on one of the stone benches. She took out the palm mirror from her bosom and spread it out, the moonlight reflecting off the mirror and creating ripples.

The mirror surface resembled a clear pond. When moonlight shone down, it was as if pebbles were thrown in, creating continuous ripples. Xing Ji stared intently at the mirror, leaning forward closer and closer, seemingly mesmerized by the "water surface."

"Xing Ji, you must not be disrespectful."

He Sui'an's voice drifted from afar, but Xing Ji didn't hear it. He was still looking at the "water surface" and unconsciously moved closer.

The two immediately sensed something was wrong. Zhu Nan rushed forward and grabbed Xing Ji's shoulder. "Xing Ji?" Seeing that he didn't respond, she immediately looked at Xiang He. "Miss Xiang, this..."

Xiang He chuckled softly, then flicked Xing Ji's brow. Xing Ji's eyes instantly cleared, a sinister glint appearing in them. He took a step back and drew his dagger. "There's something strange in this mirror!"

He reacted quickly enough, but thankfully Xiang Hexian turned aside and withdrew his hand, otherwise he would have cleaved the mirror in two with a single blow.

Xiang He carefully placed the mirror back on the table. "Don't worry, they're just two mischievous monsters. Would you like to meet them?"

The three were indeed curious. He Suian moved to sit down and couldn't help but ask, "It can even make it visible?"

"Of course, I can let you meet me and ask you a few questions."

He Suian nodded slightly, "After she's released, will the girl be able to control herself? I hope she doesn't hurt anyone."

"Don't worry, I'm very capable."

Despite her boasting, there was not a trace of arrogance on her face; rather, it was an affirmation of her own abilities. This made He Suian even more curious. How could a country girl have learned these unorthodox skills and keep them a secret from others?

Xing Ji and Zhu Nan stood on either side of He Sui'an, one with a fist and the other with a dagger, ready to protect their young master should anything go wrong.

Seeing their posture, Xiang He couldn't help but laugh out loud. "There's no need to be so wary. I said it's just a little demon, there's no one I can't handle."

After speaking, she straightened the palm mirror on the table, put her hands together on the mirror, and said, "Heaven and earth are boundless, the mysterious light guides, the myriad phenomena reveal the true form!"

The fingers tapped faster, the middle fingers touched, and finally the mirror surface was lightly touched before the hand was withdrawn, with four pairs of eyes staring at the mirror.

In a short while, a white light appeared on the mirror, and two figures, also like white light, floated out. The group watched as the two figures danced in mid-air, accompanied by soft laughter, which was the woman's teasing.

Xing Ji and Zhu Nan's expressions were stern, and they became even more vigilant.

A figure drifted towards He Suian, and before even touching Xing Ji, it swung its sword, shouting, "Don't come any closer!"

"Oh! How fierce! I'm so scared!"

Her voice was as clear and melodious as a nightingale's. The two figures intertwined for a moment, and Xiang He picked up the palm mirror and lightly tapped its surface. "Stop being cheeky and reveal yourselves."

His words were soft and understated, yet carried a chilling undertone. The two figures stopped swaying and the teasing stopped as well. They darted to Xiang He's side, their figures gradually becoming clearer, like white mist.

However, it soon transformed into two colors, one red and one pink.

The two demons had exquisitely beautiful faces, with eyebrows like distant mountains, and slightly upturned eyes that carried a hint of charm, yet they were still elegant and dignified.

They swayed their hips, placed their delicate fingers on their waists, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Daoist Master. It was this little demon who acted presumptuously."

Xiang He rested her chin on her hand as she looked at the two demons, nodding with amazement in her eyes. "Such beautiful women, no wonder Xiang Fusheng was entangled and couldn't get out."

The girl in yellow covered her mouth and smiled shyly, "Daoist Master, you are too kind. I was just exchanging knowledge with Young Master Xiang. I did not intend to keep him here. I hope you will understand."

The girl in pink smiled and nodded in agreement, "That's right, Daoist Master, please don't take offense."

"From now on, we will not bother him."

The two demons tried to exonerate themselves, but Xiang He wasn't angry. She simply turned the mirror over and over to examine it, saying, "A flower in the mirror, a moon in the water—are you two just a reflection in the mirror and a reflection in the water?"

The girl in yellow nodded slightly. "I am Jinghua, and this is my younger sister, Shuiyue."

The Mirror Flower Water Moon is a mirror placed in water, a demonic creature formed by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon. It does not have great offensive power, but if an ordinary person enters the mirror, the Twin Flowers will not let them out, and they will never have a chance to come out.

"Where did Xiang Fusheng find you two?"

“We accidentally dropped it on a lame Taoist priest one day, and then Young Master Xiang picked it up.”

"That's quite a coincidence!"

Xiang He raised an eyebrow and glanced at the two demons. Jinghua Shuiyue quickly bowed again, "I remember now. It was left on the ground for a long time. We were lonely, so we used a little trick to let Young Master Xiang find it. That's why we've been carrying the Palm Mirror with us all this time."

Mirror Flower Water Moon was extremely respectful to Xiang He, while He Sui'an watched silently from the side, wondering just how capable Xiang He was that she could make two demons obey her so readily.

"Miss Xiang, why don't you ask Fusheng why he fainted today?"

Xiang He waved her hand, "No need to ask. The two of them were naughty. They chatted so happily while Xiang Fusheng was asleep that Xiang Fusheng, who has no self-control, was drawn into the mirror with them."

"Just as the Taoist priest said, it was we who lost our sense of proportion."

Xiang He curled her lip. These two beautiful women were so stunning that any man would be unable to move, let alone bewitchable beauties. It would be strange if Xiang Fusheng could remain reserved.

"You two..." He Suian paused for a moment before speaking, "You two young ladies are very learned. Judging from your conversation, you are well-educated and reasonable. You just mentioned exchanging knowledge with Fusheng."

Shuiyue smiled coquettishly, "We were in a wealthy family's lotus pond earlier. Later, we had to repair it and drain the water. The family saw a strange mirror and asked the Taoist priest to take it away."

"When we lived in that household, there was a young master who would recite his lessons by the lotus pond every day, swaying his head back and forth. We listened to him so often that we learned a lot from him."

If they said that, they must have exchanged knowledge. As for whether they did anything else, Xiang He had looked at Xiang Fusheng's face. His complexion was not sallow, and his cheekbones were well-colored, which did not seem like the appearance of kidney deficiency. However, he did have some symptoms.

Suddenly remembering something, Xiang He turned her gaze to He Suian, "You said earlier that he had a chance to pass the imperial examination, could it be thanks to these two?"

It's possible that you'll dream every night, exchanging knowledge in your dreams, consolidating your knowledge, and thus improving your skills significantly.

This is troublesome. What if he doesn't know how to study anymore after losing his two sisters...?

Xiang He frowned slightly and sighed, "It's not good for the two of you to stay by his side for too long. You've only lost your soul today, but what if he goes crazy one day and has some evil thoughts? That would be troublesome."

After all, it is a demon. Spending too much time with it will weaken one's own yang energy, affecting one's fortune, physical health, and mental state. Since it has already been "lost," it's better not to give it to it.

Seeing her frowning in thought, He Sui'an smiled knowingly and said, "Miss Xiang, you can rest assured. He has been studying for so many years, and he should be able to get a good ranking in the exam next February."

"Oh……"

Although Xiang He disliked that family, her future was in jeopardy, and she wouldn't ruin their prospects.

Now that the problem was solved, she stood up briskly. "Alright, you two will stay with me for now. Don't reveal yourselves to seduce anyone, and don't you dare scare my family, understand?"

Mirror Flower Water Moon respectfully responded, its body once again transforming into white mist and disappearing into the mirror.

He Sui'an also stood up, "Miss Xiang, are you staying here tonight, or going home tonight?"

"Stay here for the night. I need to buy some things tomorrow morning. Lend me your carriage."

"That's certainly possible."
