Chapter 115: Ring of Oath
Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed in front of her, and Du Xifei couldn't help but close her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in front of Xinshan Gate.
She looked at everything in front of her in surprise and confusion.
How did I end up in Floating Cloud Tower?
And in the outside world, the gem box lay quietly in Xin Ling's hands, emitting a faint light.

[I can’t write about scenes from two different places at the same time, so it might be a little confusing.]
[This section is about Shi Xi and Huo Liao. If you forget the previous one, you can go back to Chapter 97.]
Huo Liaoye clenched his hands into fists, his eyes flashing with anger and unwillingness: "Do you know why I came? Can't you see the end of time? But you can't see the present."
There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
Huo Liaoye continued to speak slowly, with each word full of sarcasm: "Lingxi Pavilion is in great trouble, Lingxi Candlelight has summoned you, right?"
As he spoke, he spread out his palm and pointed at Shi Xi who was standing on the huge clock platform, with a hint of amusement, "As the leader of Lingxi Pavilion, you can't wait to get rid of me and fly to Lingxi Pavilion! Do you still have time to have a verbal battle with me here?"
Hearing this, Shi Xi frowned slightly, picked up the pocket watch beside him, opened it and checked the time, and murmured softly, "Time..."
But then he closed the pocket watch again, and held it on his slender white fingers. His fingers swayed slightly, and the pocket watch shook with them.
His tone was calm and cool. "Don't worry about it. I have it all figured out. According to the prediction of time, I still have eight minutes."
“You can see the thread of time, but you can’t see the variables. The future is not certain, but has thousands of changes. You have to dive into the long river of time and swim in it yourself to see the results of each decision.”
After saying this, Huo Liaoye raised his right hand, with flames burning from his palm, and continued, "I choose to help Lingxi Pavilion."
Then he raised his left hand again, "I choose to destroy Lingxi Pavilion."
"Release me? Keep me imprisoned? What will the future be like? You must cast a spell and see it for yourself to know, but right now... you don't have enough time."
After hearing these words, Shi Xi silently tightened the dial in his hand, but his face remained calm, "You are threatening me."
"Just now it was just a problem. Now..." He slowly opened his ruby-like eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "It is the real threat."
"Look at this human." As he said this, Huo Liao also raised his left hand which was burning with flames, and the controlled Wang Mo also did the same action.
"The warrior chosen by Xin Ling, the person helped by Princess Ling, the master of Luo Li..."
Shi Xi slowly lowered his raised hand, "So what?"
"She has been marked by my fire. As long as I ignite the fire... she will be burned by the flames!" As he spoke, a flame ignited in the palm of his right hand. Wang Mo, who was controlled, felt his whole body burning and his skin was painful as if it was burned by flames.
He couldn't help but shrink his body, but soon he was controlled and imitated the movements of Huo Liaoye.
"So..." Huo Liaoye raised his eyes and looked at Shi Xi dimly, "You must release me."
Seeing this, Shi Xi clenched the pocket watch in his hand.
"How about it? Do you really want to close your eyes and swing the pocket watch now?" He said, imitating the way Shi Xi used to swing the pocket watch, "to test the truth of what the other party said, to peek into the future, and then to see everything calmly and calmly, and make a decision calmly and confidently."
But then he changed the subject, "Unfortunately this time..." As he spoke, Huo Liaoye's hands behind his back suddenly ignited into flames, and the cold light in his eyes shot towards Shi Xi, "You don't have time!"
As he cast a spell, the flame rushed towards Shi Xi, "So what if you imprison me? I can turn the tables with one move and I will still be the winner!"
"Yeloli magic, fire thorns!" The fire thorns quickly stabbed at Shi Xi, with a hint of anger in his tone, "I must break your calm face that looks like you don't care about anything!"
But even when the fire thorn was about to pierce Shi Xi, even when there was only two centimeters left, Shi Xi still looked calm, and his calm eyes did not change at all.
Seeing that Shi Xi was still calm and not scared at all, he couldn't help but feel bored and retracted the fire thorn.
Shi Xi's cold voice also came slowly at this moment, "Thank you for caring about my feelings, Fire Lord."
"Boring!"
"Are you really not afraid? The future... right now is probably still unknown and dark to you."
Huo Liaoye chuckled twice, took a step forward, and patted his chest. "Decide now, release me and believe that I will help Lingxi Pavilion; or continue to trap me and let me burn this human girl to ashes! At the same time, Lingxi Pavilion is in great trouble!"
After listening to Huo Liaoye's words, Shi Xi did not rush to make a choice, but mentioned what he had promised Wang Mo.
Huo Liaoye couldn't help but get nervous when he heard this. He subconsciously clenched his fist and coughed lightly to relieve himself.
"I imprisoned you just to make you reflect. If you have realized how many lives' sins can be burned away in a single moment of fire, there is nothing wrong with releasing you."
"It's just..." Shi Xi paused and continued, "Can you keep your promise?" As he spoke, Shi Xi looked at the fire below with a dim gaze.
"We can only gamble here."
Shi Xi suddenly refused sternly, "I, Shi Xi, never gamble. Every decision I make is made carefully after considering countless possibilities in the future."
"Time keeps moving and there is no going back. If you truly regret your mistakes, are you willing to wear the ring of promise?"
As he said that, he spread out his finger and pointed at Huoliaoye.
"Yeloli magic, from ancient times to the present, the imprint of time, the ring of oath."
As he spoke, a small ball of light flew out from a clock array. The light slowly dispersed, revealing the ruby ring of oath inside.
Knowing that Huo Liaoye was somewhat dissatisfied and felt that he looked down on him, he explained quietly, "Most fairies in Ye Luoli Wonderland keep their promises, but you, Huo Liaoye, I am not sure at all."
"Take it with you to show that you keep your promise. If one day you break your promise, I can activate the Ring of Oath and bring your time back to this moment. As a sinner of time, you will be imprisoned forever."
"What? If you are truly repentant, I will not refuse; but if you are lying, I will never release you." Shi Xi's tone revealed a hint of firmness and unquestionableness.
