SORCERESS 101 242 HER WISH

"Guys, do you trust me???"

Out of the blue, Mu Lingxi asked his friends.

Although the group was not sure why did their friend throw them an out of the box question they still give their friend, Su Yan (Mu Lingxi), an honest answer.

"Of course we do. Why do you even have to ask that?"

Long Fuzi answered back to Su Yan's sudden query. But instead of explaining herself to her friends, Mu Lingxi's looked at Long Yue and ask him another question.

"You still have the Wish Liquid with you, right??'

"Yes, it is with me. Why???"

Long Yue and the others were getting more confused due to their friend's action. Instead of explaining himself, Su Yan (Mu Lingxi), just keep on throwing them abrupt questions.

But despite their uncertainty towards the other party's sudden behavior, they still cooperated with their friend.

Long Yue even took the flask of Wish Liquid out of his storage ring to give it to Su Yan (Mu Lingxi). Just in case he had some use for it.

"Thank you, Long Yue"

Mu Lingxi accepted the Wish Liquid from Long Yue and take it from his hands. After that, she looked back at her friends and started to explain her sudden behavior and abrupt questions.

"I think I have a way to get the information that we need from the Clan Head. But I'm afraid, that I won't be able to tell you guys how exactly I will do it. That is why I asked you if you trust me."

"Of course, we do trust you, Su Yan. But are you sure you won't need any of our help?? Would you be okay doing it by yourself?? What exactly is your plan??"

Fan Lei asked out of worry. He is asking not because he doesn't trust his friend or whatever. He just simply thinks that it is better for them to make a move as a group.

"I am planning to use this Wish Liquid later this night to complete the task. Just wait for the news from me tomorrow. Hopefully, before dawn, I already have the result with me. If ever I fail, then let's just think of another way how we can acquire it. But for now, let us all hope that I would be able to complete the task. That would be for the best."

"Err.. okay.."

"I'm fine with that too."

"Sure, just please be careful.."

One after another, the group expressed their consent to their friend's suggestion

Since Su Yan already asked them to leave the matter to himself, the group no longer argue back. They agreed to wait for the result of their friend's plan until dawn.

The group sincerely hope for Su Yan's plan to work, so that they can save more time and effort. Hopefully, they will be hearing back a piece of good news from him tomorrow.

"Alright, let us give it a rest for now and wait for the good news tomorrow morning."

Mu Lingxi announced to the group. After that, they temporarily dismissed the meeting. The group was obviously curious as to how their friend was planning to get the information from the stern Clan Head of the Mu's.

But since they already expressed their complete trust over him, and they really meant it, the group just decided to let their friend do it his way without asking further details.

Later that night, Mu Lingxi can be seen preparing herself for her secret mission. Janus was watching his master as he climbs to their bed.

"MEOW"

[Little lass, are you sure you want to do it this way??]

"Yes, I have to. I can't just sit idly and do nothing about it. Especially now that I know that this is also related to me."

"MEOW"

[Is it really worth it?? I thought you like to live your life as you want it to be? You said it yourself before that you will not allow anything to hold you back. That thing about the curse has nothing to do with you anymore. It is just the just part of the past of the previous owner of that body. The cursed child is not you, little lass. Don't confuse yourself with someone else. The cursed child is the 'previous' Mu Lingxi, not you.]

"I don't know Janus. I honestly don't know why, but there is something deep inside me that was telling me that I have to do something about it. I'm not sure if this was just the result of curiosity or if this is something like the lingering will left by the previous owner of this body."

"MEOW"

[Well, there is a high chance that it could be the lingering will left by the previous owner of your body, just like what you have said. Because if you could still remember, the day that you transmigrated to this world is the same day that the previous owner of that body died from falling to a cliff. She was on her way of getting information about the whereabouts of her parents at that time. Only to end up dying on her way of finding the truth.]

Janus' deduction is on spot. That is what exactly happened on that day before the 'previous' Mu Lingxi's death.

At that time, Mu Yanxiao requested to have a secret meeting with the 'previous' Mu Lingxi. At first, the 'previous' Mu Lingxi had no plan of meeting her at all since they were not in good terms, to begin with.

But Mu Yanxiao told her cousin that she got news about the whereabouts of Mu Lingxi's parents. She knew very well this cousin of hers is dying to know what really happened to her parents so she used it as a bait to make Mu Lingxi agree to her request.

This is a piece of information that the 'previous' Mu Lingxi will find hard to turn down. As expected, the 'previous' Mu Lingxi agreed about meeting with Mu Yanxiao in the end.

Since it has been a great taboo in the Mu Clan's residence to talk about the matters concerning Mu Lingxi's parents, the two young misses have to meet in secret.

Yet before the 'previous' Mu Lingxi could even get her hands on the news about her parents, she died an untimely death and the 'transmigrator' Mu Lingxi replaced her.

Precisely for that reason, that a lingering will from the previous owner was left in the body.

Long Yue wanted to learn more about the matter that happened 18 years ago. He wanted to locate the apprentice necromancer and find the answer as to how they could save her beloved cat, Luna.

Mu Lingxi also wanted to learn more about the matters that happened 18 years ago as much as Long Yue does. But it was for an entirely different reason.

Because this concern not just anyone else. This is no longer about saving someone.

This is all about her, the cursed child as well as her parents' whereabouts.

That is why, right now, Mu Lingxi's will of finding the apprentice necromancer is far greater than anyone else from the group.

The reason why she asked for the Wish Liquid to Long Yue is that she intends to use this to her advantage.

Taking out the flask of Wish Liquid that she kept from her storage ring, Mu Lingxi observed the yellowish liquid inside it.

"Let's do it.."

She said as she opened its cap and drank a teaspoon of the Wish Liquid before making her wish.

For whatever kind of wish she made that night, only Mu Lingxi knows about it. She did not say it out loud. She just simply close her eyes and speak her wish through her heart.

When the night was already at its peak, Mu Lingxi slipped through the veil of the night. She darted pass from one shadow to another with much agility and precision.

Using the darkness to her advantage she was able to cover her tracks as she swiftly made her way back to the residence that she used to escape before.

From how she does it, it was obvious that it was not her first time doing this kind of thing. From her fast and silent movement, she could be easily mistaken as a shadow.

With her prior experience of escaping the place, Mu Lingxi did not have a hard time concealing her movement at all.

When the night wind blows the hood that was covering her head, it fell and revealed the delicate face of a lovely lady that can easily cause the downfall of a nation.

She was not wearing her face altering mask. She was planning to confront her grandfather as Mu Lingxi and get the truth out from him.

That is why she also used the Wish Liquid. She wished that her grandfather will tell her the truth and everything she needs to know about the incident that happened 18 years ago.

She wished to know everything about her.

She pulled the hood farther down to hide her entire face before she continued to steal her way under the pale glow of the moon.
