My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World

Inside the iron cage, Feng Xiyan had been staring at Bai Hanyun for a while. Seeing her laughing and lost in thought, he couldn’t help but feel curious.

When Bai Hanyun suddenly looked at him, Feng Xiyan smiled at her. "Yun’er, you—"

Before he could ask what had made her chuckle, a young man suddenly appeared in front of them.

The sudden appearance startled Bai Hanyun so much that she jumped into Feng Xiyan’s arms.

While the two of them were staring at him, Gui Di was also surprised when he realized that he was inside an iron cage.

Coming out of his surprise, he looked at Feng Xiyan and Bai Hanyun, then calmly clasped his fists and greeted them, "Greetings, Fairy Bai."

Bai Hanyun remembered that Gui Ying had told her he was going to send someone over with the talisman, but she never expected it to be so fast.

Nodding at Gui Di, she asked, "Are you here to bring the items?"

Gui Di nodded, took out a small pouch from his spatial ring, and then presented it to her with both hands. "This is the item. Fairy Bai, please accept it."

Bai Hanyun took the pouch, then asked, "I have some things for Gui Ying. Can you help me bring them back to him?"

"Yes."

After receiving his confirmation, Bai Hanyun took out a bunch of snacks and beverages that Gui Ying liked.

With a wave of his hand, Gui Di put them away, then clasped his fists and said, "I still need to return and report to the Young Master. Goodbye, Fairy Bai."

Bai Hanyun smiled at his words. "Thank you."

Gui Di nodded at her, then disappeared.

After he left, Feng Xiyan asked, "Yun’er, were you talking with Gui Ying just now?"

"Mhm. I was asking him for some talismans," Bai Hanyun answered while opening the small pouch.

Realizing that the pouch was actually an unbound low-grade Qiankun Pouch, she reached inside and took out the talismans.

Feng Xiyan picked up a stack of talismans, neatly bound with a red string, and read the words written on a small piece of paper stuck on the red string.

"Invisible talisman. Effective for six sichen. Tear it."

When Bai Hanyun heard this, her eyes lit up. Looking at the invisible talisman in his hand, she excitedly said, "This one is good."

Just by looking at her expression, Feng Xiyan could guess what she was thinking. "Are you planning to go to the imperial palace with me now?"

Bai Hanyun grinned at him, then explained, "Before, I planned to separate from the team and wait outside. But now..."

She took the invisible talisman from his hand and added, "With this invisible talisman, I can safely follow you into the imperial palace. If something happens later, I can launch a surprise attack while remaining unseen."

Feng Xiyan pondered her plan, then nodded in agreement. "This idea is good."

At his approval, Bai Hanyun’s eyes lit up. Grabbing his arm, she said excitedly, "Right? I think this plan is great. If you want, we can also record everything that happens there and share it with Brother Hua and the others."

"Mhm. Let’s do as you said," Feng Xiyan replied with a smile.

Now that they had agreed on a new plan, Bai Hanyun quickly divided the talismans into two equal parts.

Handing the low-grade Qiankun Pouch containing half of the talismans to Feng Xiyan, she said, "You take half."

Feng Xiyan did not refuse. He placed the low-grade Qiankun Pouch into his superior-grade Qiankun Pouch while watching Bai Hanyun arrange the remaining talismans into several sets based on their function.

Confused, he asked, "Yun’er, what are you doing?"

"These are attack talismans. I’m combining their elements so they can deal more damage when used together," Bai Hanyun explained without stopping.

Feng Xiyan glanced at the talismans and saw that she paired a water-element talisman with a lightning-element talisman. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

After clipping them together in pairs, Bai Hanyun moved on to check the other talismans.

Seeing how focused she was, Feng Xiyan said, "Let me help you."

Grateful for his help, Bai Hanyun handed him a stack of wind-element talismans and a stack of fire-element talismans. "Help me with these."

Feng Xiyan nodded and began working.

As the two of them busily mixed and matched attack, defensive, and support talismans, their iron cage suddenly stopped moving.

Realizing they had arrived at the imperial palace, Bai Hanyun quickly put the talismans away into her spatial ring, leaving only one invisible talisman in her hand.

"Great General, we have arrived outside the imperial palace," a soldier informed them in a low voice.

When Bai Hanyun heard this, she tore the invisible talisman without hesitation.

Rip!

The moment the talisman was torn, it glowed brightly. Before they could react, Feng Xiyan and Bai Hanyun saw her body slowly disappear.

In less than a second, Bai Hanyun was gone.

Unable to see her, Feng Xiyan carefully called out, "Yun’er?"

A second later, her voice came from beside him. "I’m still here."

Hearing this, Feng Xiyan let out a sigh of relief. "Looks like the talisman is working."

"Mhm. I will stay close to you. Don’t worry."

"Alright."

Now that they were ready, Feng Xiyan fell silent and waited patiently.

Outside the iron cage, the Ninth Prince of the Jin Empire dismounted his horse. Handing the reins to an imperial guard, he walked into the imperial palace without a word.

Behind him, the ministers followed in silence.

Seeing this, Wu Ruizhan nodded at his team, then followed the Ninth Prince and the ministers inside.

Sensing that the iron cage had started moving again, Bai Hanyun whispered with a hint of confusion in her voice, "They didn’t even bother to check the iron cage?"

"With General Wu leading the team, who would dare to check it? Wouldn’t that imply they don’t trust him? The Ninth Prince isn’t that foolish," Feng Xiyan explained calmly.

Bai Hanyun nodded in realization. "I see. I thought they would check it. If I had known they wouldn’t even pretend to lift the covers, I would have waited a bit longer before using the invisible talisman."

Feng Xiyan was amused by her complaint and thought helplessly, ’Gui Ying sent her hundreds of invisible talismans, yet she is still so stingy.’
