Elemental Light Mage

Chapter 492 Xi Yu Envoy

The erosion of mental magic failed, and a small bolt of lightning appeared between the foreheads of the two men and exploded on them respectively.

Xi Leqiu covered the wound caused by the lightning and asked, "Who are you and why can you use our family's innate echo magic?"

Coincidentally, the fight between Xi Yeming and Hua Wan spread to this side, and a beam of light accidentally hit Fei Niao's crutch next to him.

With the help of crutches, Asuka supported his lower body and managed to answer in ventriloquy: "Then who do you think I am?"

This answer left Xileqiu stunned, but she quickly came to her senses.

"Don't talk nonsense, the Xi family had nothing back then!"

Asuka said confidently, "Really? Then why don't you use the divination magic you got from others to figure out my identity yourself?"

"How... did you know about this?"

Xileqiu once obtained a second innate magic from an unknown goddess, which was the divination magic of cards, but she had only talked about this with her family.

Millions of clues seemed to be tied to the flying bird in front of him. Xileqiu took a half step back in fear.

"Of course, you told me that."

Fei Niao tore off the bandage wrapped around his face, and the missing face finally saw the light of day again.

But his face was covered with scars from knife wounds and burns, and the rotten and deformed scabs looked particularly scary.

"Second sister..." Fei Niao's voice was trembling, as if he had silently repeated this name countless times in his heart. He stared at Xi Leqiu in front of him, with complex emotions in his eyes.

Xi Leqiu seemed to be frozen in time, and had no reaction at all. She stared at Fei Niao with wide eyes, a look of astonishment on her face, and murmured, "Feather Envoy...?"

This name is both familiar and unfamiliar to Xileqiu.

Childhood memories flooded into his mind. How could his only brother, Xi Yushi, the kindest and most honest younger brother, become like this...

She seemed to remember something, but couldn't remember it for a moment. Some vague fragments of memory flashed through her mind, but she couldn't piece them together.

His younger brother, Xi Yushi, had clearly died in the fire twenty years ago.

Yes, even though it was covered with scars and the skin color was different from the past in his memory, Xi Leqiu could still recognize that it was the face of his younger brother Xi Yushi based on the facial features.

Xi Yu took out the mask he had prepared earlier and put it on his face to cover his ugly scar.

"Why..." Xileqiu asked with a guilty look, "Why did you become like this?"

"The soldiers who confiscated my property destroyed my face and throat with branding irons, broke my legs with wooden sticks, and when they were satisfied with the torture, they thought I was dead, so they threw me off the cliff behind the mountain."

Xi Yushi was wearing a mask so his expression could not be seen, but from his tone, he could describe his experience in such a light-hearted way. He must have either been struggling inside or it was just plain calm.

"But I didn't die. I held on to the tree branch and returned home. I saw that there was nothing left in the house, which had become a ruin."

Xi Leqiu asked in shock: "You, you went home?"

Xi Yushi replied, "Yes, but I didn't see my parents' bodies. There were some simple tombstones in the back hills. They were the tombstones of everyone... and me, but your name and that of my elder sister were not on them."

After Zelicia's army took Xi Yungeng away and spared Xi Leqiu, she waited until the fire was out and silently buried her family alone and erected a monument.

"So I firmly believed that you and my elder sister were still alive, so I went out to look for you. Along the way, I was afraid of being recognized, so I learned ventriloquism to confuse people."

"Then why don't you...?"

Xi Yu understood what her second sister wanted to say and explained, "By the time I learned about you and my eldest sister, it had been almost ten years."

Xi Yungeng turned against his allies in the middle of a battle and disappeared with the prince of the empire; Xi Leqiu left the Xi clan's residence and wandered around the world without a trace, and no trace of him could be found at all.

"It's difficult for me to find your information in time with my own ability, so I thought of joining an organization to help me."

Until recently, the empire's lost prince returned to the country as the Tenth Prince of the Sacred Will, causing a sensation.

Xi Yushi speculated that there would be countless eyes staring at his "nephew", and his second sister might be among them, so he fanned the flames and let Yishi join Xi Yeming, while he waited for Xi Leqiu to show up.

"So, you chose the Lost Organization...?"

"I can't stay in the Kingdom. I don't think anyone can go to the tyranny of the Religious Kingdom. The Free Kingdom and the United States are too far across the ocean. Only the Empire is a suitable place to stay."

Xi Leqiu asked distressedly: "What have you been through in these years?"

"I've been wandering all the way, searching for you while learning new powers. I will desperately grasp at even a glimmer of hope."

Xi Yushi looked up, then shifted his gaze to his sister, "Fortunately, I finally met my second sister."

-

"What's going on?" Xi Yeming stared at the sudden purple magic circle.

Hua Wan asked angrily: "What did you do again?"

Innocent Xi Yeming waved his hand and replied: "It has nothing to do with me."

Although it had nothing to do with Xi Yeming, he noticed that the structure of the magic circle was somewhat similar to Kasong's necromancy.

Magic power gathered in the center of the magic circle and formed a figure of a girl. Then the figure gradually turned bloody, just like an ordinary person.

"...!"

"That is?"

Hua Wan couldn't believe her eyes. Her rationality was deprived by her emotions. The face that appeared in the magic circle was someone Hua Wan would never forget.

"Hua Xian...?!"

"Hua Xian? Isn't it Senior's..."

It was only after the senior called out to him that Xi Yeming recognized who the girl in the magic circle was.

The girl whose name was called slowly opened her eyes and looked at the world again. She turned around and saw Hua Wan, who was connected to her by blood.

"elder sister……?"

"Hua Xian!"

Before Hua Wan could respond, she controlled the Paladin to fly towards her sister.

When the two were about to hug each other, Hua Wan passed through Hua Xian's illusory figure and touched nothing.

The disappointed Hua Wan looked back at her sister in shock, while Hua Xian also looked at her sister in confusion.

"How dare you use illusions to deceive me?"

Hua Wan, in tears, aimed her Holy Cavalry at Xi Yeming.

"what?"

Xi Yeming felt indeed aggrieved. This incident had nothing to do with him. At least he was definitely unaware of Hua Xian's appearance.

"I remember everything. I was in the crowd and a sharp, pitch-black knife pierced my abdomen. Then I..."

Recalling this, Hua Xian showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"I am already dead……"
