"Xing, when you came here, no one followed you on the road, right?"

Tiandao took out two bottles of Deep Blue Metropolis's specialty soda·Blue Mountain City from the refrigerator next to the living room.

And threw one of the bottles to Chen Xing who was sitting on the sofa not far away.

Chen Xing caught the soda and opened the soda bottle cap with a 'pop' sound.

After raising his head and taking two sips, he wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Tiandao, don't think of me as a fool. You must know that when I was at the base, my theoretical scores were second only to you and Caroline, and surpassed that idiot Liuli by a dozen."

"Same."

Tiandao walked behind the sofa, put his hands on the backrest, and tapped the fabric with his fingertips.

"Although being caught by you is a bit troublesome, if it's just you, it won't have much impact on me."

"It can even be said that with you, some things that originally took some effort have become easier."

After that, Tiandao took a sip of the Blue Mountain City in his hand and said with a smile, "You should also know that your brother Chen Kong is here, right?"

Chen Xing nodded.

"Well, I knew it a few years ago. After all, I found out very early that there was a problem with his Quantum Leap and it deviated from the original planned route."

"But in the past few years, we Starborn had to hide him and were not allowed to show up at Federation at will, so we never looked for him."

"It wasn't until four years ago, when General President·Enit announced the destruction of Ember Base and the death of Doctor·Dragon, that those guys withdrew their Wanted Order attacks on us."

Chen Xing paused, frowned slightly and said, "There's just one thing I'm curious about."

Before Chen Xing could finish what he said, Tiandao smiled and said, "I'm curious as to why Enit would specifically stand up for us Starborn, and warn those guys not to use us for human experiments at will."

"Also, why didn't they remove my Wanted Order, right?"

"Yeah."

Tiandao walked to the sofa and sat down.

He looked at the Blue Mountain City with blue bubbles in his hand.

The pale blue eyes became inexplicably deep.

"Xing, have you heard of Twelve Miracle Stones?"

"This is natural. After all, the foundation of the Blazing Sun Family comes from a certain Miracle Stone."

"In that case, you should also know that in the history of New Federation so far, there have only been five Miracle Stones."

After hearing these words from Tiandao, Chen Xing grasped the core of the problem after thinking for a while.

Suddenly he said, "What you mean is that the core reason that led to the destruction of the base six years ago was the group of the Iron Dome Family's iron lumps who wanted to find the Miracle Stone in the hands of Doctor."

"In addition, the reason why Iron Dome Family has never agreed to remove your Wanted Order is because he is worried that you will be protected by some family and then leak the news that Doctor has Miracle Stone in his possession, right?"

"Smart, Xing, your intuition is still as sharp as ever, and so unreasonable."

After confirming these things, Chen Xing frowned and said, "If it's what you said, then I think I know why you disguised your identity and part of your plan."

"Oh? Tell me."

Tiandao looked at Chen Xing curiously, wanting to know what she had guessed.

This is not Tiandao pretending, but he really wants to know how exaggerated Chen Xing's 'Demonic Star Intuition' can be.

"Tiandao, if my guess is correct, the reason why those guys from the Iron Dome Family are chasing you is because they have definitely received the information that you know the whereabouts of Miracle Stone."

"The second reason is because they suspect that Miracle Stone in the hands of Doctor is very likely to be in your hands."

"So they have to search for you with all their strength while trying not to arouse other people's suspicions as much as possible."

"And keeping your Wanted Order is undoubtedly the best cover and explanation for their behavior."

"Yes, what else?"

Tiandao nodded, and then motioned for Chen Xing to continue.

Because what she said was indeed the reason why Tiandao had to continue pretending in Season 2.

After all, he is not afraid of those tough guys from the Iron Dome Family.

But if these guys show up prematurely.

That would undoubtedly cause great damage to the current plot.

This affects Tiandao's control of the subsequent plot.

"Also, after knowing the threat from the Iron Dome Family, if you want to get rid of this situation, you must either seek the asylum of one of the four major families, or seek the asylum of an old guy."

"And if it's just the former, I don't think you've been refusing to show up easily until now. After all, based on what I know about you, you're not the kind of person who likes to put your destiny in the hands of others."

"So I guess you want to show your value, and then let General President Enit see your potential, so you can choose you as your successor, and then get rid of those troublesome guys, and even compete with them on the same stage, right?"

Tiandao smiled and said, "So sure?"

Looking at Tiandao who was smiling but not smiling, the corners of Chen Xing's mouth raised in an arc, and he shook his high ponytail vigorously, with a little pride in his tone.

"Tiandao, you seem to underestimate me who has been chasing your back."

"Caroline is the only one who knows you in this world, but also me."

"I know your ambition very well, and I also know how terrifying the thinking behind your exaggerated talent is."

"You never compromise, and you never learn to compromise. You only accept that everything will develop according to your own ideas, and you are confident and proud that things must develop this way, and do not accept any other changes."

Tiandao interrupted, "But didn't you bring unexpected changes to me? After all, I didn't expect your intuition to be so exaggerated."

Chen Xing put away his smile and said seriously, "A perfect plan never means completely controlling everything, but being able to control every possible accident."

"And make sure you have enough error correction capabilities so that the plan can proceed smoothly no matter what the circumstances."

"There has never been an omniscient and omnipotent being in this world. If there was, it could only be 'God'."

"Tiandao, I guess you must have made a plan a long time ago and seriously thought about what you would do if your identity is discovered in advance, right?"

"So the accident you are talking about is just a troublesome episode for you, and it will not really affect what you want to do at all."

Hearing this, Tiandao couldn't help but sigh, "Xing, your intuition is really enviable, because you can choose the only correct answer among so many options without thinking."

Chen Xing shook his head, looked at Tiandao again, looked directly into his blue eyes, and said seriously, "You are wrong Tiandao, I am not choosing the only answer, but I will only choose answers that will not make me regret."

"After all, only in this way can I achieve the same result no matter if I do it a hundred times, a thousand times, or ten thousand times."

"Even if this choice is destined to lead to the abyss, I still walk into it without hesitation."

"Because this is the only decision in my heart that I have no regrets about."

"Do you just follow your inner instinct of choice?"

Tiandao sighed.

Because things had reached this point, he finally understood what Chen Xing's 'Demonic Star Intuition' was.

To put it simply, Chen Xing's so-called 'intuition' essentially means regardless of the future 'result'.

She will only make choices that she will not 'regret'.

As for whether this choice was correct or where it would lead in the future, it no longer mattered to her.

Because compared to the results of choices.

Being able to make this choice itself was the most 'correct' decision for her.

This is what Chen Xing is pursuing.

As for Chen Xing at the base at that time, why didn't he show this terrifying intuition.

Tiandao speculated that maybe it was because she had not yet understood her true intentions at that time.

In other words, Chen Xing finally understood what he wanted after experiencing a certain key opportunity.

And awakened this terrifying 'Demonic Star Intuition'.

Although he was a little curious about what this opportunity was, Tiandao ultimately did not choose to investigate further.

Because it's not that he didn't guess what the opportunity was, he just didn't want to really know.

After all, if some things were really said, it would be a bit troublesome.

Therefore, Tiandao pretended not to understand this and changed the subject. "Xing, since you have guessed my plan, then I would like you to help me solve some troubles that are inconvenient for me to solve."

"After all, if you go by my inference, your brother and the girl beside him who were accidentally involved in the vortex of power will soon cause a terrifying storm in Steam Capital, which seems to be progressive but is actually stubborn and corrupt."

"Because some people are willing to give away Key of Miracles as a bargaining chip in order to seize the power in their hands."

"It's just that Sora might be in danger."

Hearing these words, Chen Xing said calmly, "It doesn't matter. If Kong can't withstand such a storm, it means he hasn't grown up yet."

"And I can't protect him for the rest of his life. He has to find a way to protect himself."

Tiandao looked at her and said with a half-smile, "Really? But why do I feel similar words? I heard it from someone six years ago, but this is the result."

"Tiandao!"

Before Tiandao could finish speaking, Chen Xing interrupted him angrily.

Then he didn't give Tiandao a chance to make fun of himself.

Chen Xing stood up directly and prepared to leave.

But when he walked to the door, Chen Xing still stopped, then looked at Tiandao with a serious face and said, "Tiandao, I will help you remove those obstacles until the day I am completely recognized by you."

After saying that, Chen Xing opened the door and walked out.

Looking at Chen Xing's back, the smile on Tiandao's face gradually disappeared, and his expression became complicated.

Because he heard some hidden meanings in Chen Xing's words.

What she wants is more than just recognition.

Once she really does too much, it will not be so easy to repay what she owes.

After all, debt of gratitude is much more troublesome than Popularity Debt in Popularity System.

Tiandao sighed lightly, then picked up the soda in his hand, raised his head and took a big sip.

The cold liquid slid down his throat, but it couldn't suppress the indescribable irritation deep in Tiandao's heart at this moment.

Tiandao, who likes to be in control of everything, felt troublesome and pressured for the first time.

However, this thorny problem and pressure are not simply things that can be solved with strength.

Trouble.
