The tense atmosphere in the mine, now a shambles, eased slightly as the two opponents each stood their ground.
Lu Mingshu pressed her hand to her sword. "You, you are very strange."
Xun Zining said, "Aren't you?"
"..."
"Your hidden trick just now was a Shape-shifting Puppet, wasn't it?"
Lu Mingshu was startled and immediately became vigilant. Shape-shifting Puppets weren't from this world; how did he recognize it?
"I've seen something similar elsewhere," said Xun Zining.
"Where?" Lu Mingshu pressed.
Xun Zining remained silent.
Lu Mingshu realized something. "Was it the person who directed you?"
Xun Zining revealed a smile that didn't seem friendly. "I knew it; you are the same kind of person."
Listening to his words, which sounded very strange, Lu Mingshu felt a tightening in her chest. "What do you mean?"
"You should know."
