My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World-Chapter 566: Flickering Lights
Bai Hanyun straightened abruptly, her hands tightening around the pillow.
"No way... Could it be that the bride is my mother? Then—Then that handsome uncle is my biological father?!" she exclaimed in shock.
As that thought took shape, her mind raced, trying to piece together the fragments of the past she had just witnessed with the information she already knew.
"Calm down first. Let’s think calmly." Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to steady her thoughts.
After four deep breaths, she began to analyze everything carefully.
Counting with her finger, she muttered, "First, Bai Yansheng is my grandfather’s adopted son. Second, my grandfather is my biological grandfather. Then... if that bride is my biological mother, she must be a member of the Bai family."
Tapping her chin, she frowned slightly while trying to dig out her memories.
"I remember Grandpa once told me that my mother was kidnapped when she was two years old. If that’s the case, then it’s possible she met my biological father without knowing her true identity."
"But... if that handsome uncle is really my father, then what happened between them? How did I end up growing up as an orphan?"
"That evil orphanage director said I was sent to the orphanage by the hospital because my mother died during childbirth. So... when I was born, my mother was alone?"
She paused for a second and narrowed her eyes. "Could it be that my parents divorced before I was born? But if that were true, why did that handsome uncle look so heartbroken in the past? Also, didn’t he know that my mother was pregnant?"
Frowning deeply, Bai Hanyun muttered gloomily, "There’s a missing piece—and far too many questions. If I want answers, I will need to investigate that handsome uncle first."
Clenching her fists, Bai Hanyun’s eyes flickered with determination and a faint, chilling killing intent.
"Grandfather died with regret because he couldn’t find my mother. If that handsome uncle truly is my biological father, and if he really failed my mother, then I will avenge her. Not only to ease my grandfather’s spirit in Heaven, but also for my mother’s grievance."
After making her decision, Bai Hanyun looked up at the night sky. As the moon slowly peeks out from behind the gloomy clouds, the corners of her lips curved up slightly. However, that slight smile didn’t reach her eyes.
As the night deepened, the world slowly fell into deep slumber, leaving only those burdened by the past awake.
Meanwhile, in the ancient world, Feng Xiyan had just left the welcome banquet. Not seeing Bai Hanyun anywhere, he frowned slightly and called out, "Feng Wu."
In the next instant, Feng Wu appeared before him and knelt on one knee. Clasping his fists, he lowered his head and said, "Master, what are your instructions?"
Looking at Feng Wu, Feng Xiyan asked, "Do you know where Yun’er is?"
"Reporting to Master. Fairy Bai went to the modern world with Brother Hua and the others shortly after the welcome banquet began."
Hearing this, Feng Xiyan’s frown deepened.
"Why did she suddenly leave? Did she say anything?" he asked, concerned about lacing his voice.
Feng Wu shook his head. "Fairy Bai didn’t leave any message, but this subordinate heard that they were going to eat."
Hearing this, Feng Xiyan fell silent for a moment before waving his hand.
Understanding the signal, Feng Wu said, "This subordinate takes his leave." The moment the words left his mouth, he disappeared.
Left alone, Feng Xiyan returned to his room. Just as he closed the door, the Yin Mirror’s voice echoed in his mind.
’Master.’
Feng Xiyan paused, then said, "Yin Mirror, it’s rare for you to initiate contact. Do you have something to report?"
’Yes, Master.’
Sensing the seriousness in her voice, Feng Xiyan raised his brows slightly. "What is it?"
The Yin Mirror hesitated briefly before saying, ’Master, tonight, Fairy Bai forcefully peeked into someone’s past.’
’This act goes against the Heavenly Dao. Because of this, Fairy Bai may suffer heavenly punishment in the near future. If she returns to our world, you should keep a close watch on her.’
As he listened, Feng Xiyan’s expression darkened. After a long silence, he asked, "Do you know whose past it was?"
’I apologize, Master. I do not know.’
"I understand," Feng Xiyan replied. "Thank you for informing me."
Far away, within the Gui Clan’s secret realm, the Yin Mirror stood in the cloud pavilion.
Gazing at the endless sea of clouds below, she muttered in a heavy mood, "No matter what they do, fate is difficult to change. I only hope that this time, the variable is strong enough to help them change the ending."
While the Yin Mirror lingered in melancholy memories of the past, Feng Xiyan casually wiped himself clean with a wet cloth before retiring for the night.
When the sky began to lighten, a soldier guarding the garrison wall noticed something approaching from afar.
Though small, the strange thing was flickering from time to time and was bright enough to stand out against the darkness.
Rubbing his eyes, the soldier blinked several times before staring into the distance, trying to take a clearer look.
A few seconds later, he saw the flickering thing split into two. Before he could look more closely, the things multiplied rapidly.
Stunned by this sight, the soldier hurried to wake the comrade dozing beside him. "Brother, wake up! Quickly!"
Seeing no response, he kicked the man’s leg and shouted anxiously, "Brother! Something is happening! Wake up!"
Startled awake, the other soldier grabbed his sword instinctively. "Where are the enemies?!" he asked, still half asleep.
"Look over there!" the first soldier urged as he pointed at a distance.
Pushing himself up from the cold stone floor, the second soldier followed his gaze. The moment he saw the floating lights in the distance, a chill ran down his spine.
"Those are torches!" Realizing this, he immediately grabbed the drumsticks and struck the war drum.
Dum! Dum! Dum! Dum!
Instantly, the urgent rhythm echoed through the silent night, jolting everyone from their sleep.
