Shen Luo only took a glance and saw the woman in a white gauze dress in the crowd. Although her face was covered with a veil, her gentle eyes were unusually familiar. It was Nie Caizhu.
When he saw Nie Caizhu, Nie Caizhu also saw him. There was an obvious flash of joy in her eyes, but it soon turned cold again. There seemed to be some confusion, as well as some helpless sighs.
After Shen Luo's gaze lingered on her for a moment, he quickly glanced at the other people. Among them was a short boy with a slightly childish appearance who had been staring at him since he arrived here.
Although this person is a man, he has two high buns on his head, wears a scale lotus skirt, a red ribbon around his waist, and a golden ring on his chest. He looks really strange.
"Are you Shen Luo?" When they got closer, Nie Caizhu didn't speak, but the boy spoke first.
His voice was clear and indeed had a bit of childishness.
"It's me." Shen Luo nodded.
"The Linglong Pagoda is on you, right? I can feel its aura." said the boy.
Shen Luo didn't know what he meant, so he nodded again.
"My father has always been cautious. He is willing to trust the Linglong Pagoda to you. I am willing to believe that you are not a traitor. By the way, my name is Li Nezha, and Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, is my father." The boy nodded and said so.
Shen Luo was slightly moved when he heard this and clasped his fists towards him.
"Why did you come here? Didn't I leave you a message telling you not to look for me and to escape alone?" At this time, Nie Caizhu's voice sounded in his sea of consciousness.
"If it's not you, don't look for it, run away alone. If it's you..."
Shen Luo recalled the words on the piece of clothes in his mind. It was not until this moment that he finally understood the true meaning of that sentence.
If he was not the traitor, Nie Caizhu hoped that he would not look for them and just escape alone, otherwise he would face the current situation. But if he was really the traitor, then Nie Caizhu didn't know what to do.
"It's not me. I didn't betray." Shen Luo glanced at everyone and said firmly.
His words were spoken not only to others, but also to Nie Caizhu.
Hearing this answer, the expression on Nie Caizhu's face relaxed slightly. Even if they hadn't seen each other for a thousand years, as long as they met, with Shen Luo's words, the stone in her heart fell to the ground.
She believed that he had not betrayed her and that he was not a traitor.
"So, you are willing to accept the interrogation of the Mirror of the Heart?" the yellow-browed monk said slowly.
"I do." Shen Luo nodded and put his hands behind his back.
Zhen Yuanzi vaguely understood something from the change in Shen Luo's attitude and the brief eye contact between him and Nie Caizhu, but he didn't say anything.
He raised his hand and a silver ring flew out from his sleeve. After rapidly growing larger, it fell from above and wrapped Shen Luo in it. Then it immediately shrank and tied him around the waist.
"This is my dragon-binding circle. It can temporarily block your magic power. As long as you don't break free by force, it won't hurt you at all." Zhen Yuanzi said.
"It's okay. Since you said you are willing to accept the test, I won't do anything unnecessary." Shen Luo said.
