Yu Xunge voiced none of these thoughts. Instead, she shared them through private chat with Tulan and B80, who had been quietly watching in power-saving mode.
After hearing these explanations, Tulan was a little bewildered. Although she was keenly sensitive to emotions, she still could not process such complicated psychology.
But judging by Youwo's panicked expression in those final few seconds, Yu Xunge was right.
That was indeed the answer Youwo found hardest to accept.
Someone indestructible, destroyed by Youwo.
She could still walk through the world, yet neither others nor she herself could say what kept her going.
Tulan had another question. "How did you know Qihua doesn't cry easily by nature?"
Yu Xunge, who had watched Lighthouse Sigh several times, explained, "It has to do with the characteristics of the Flower of Deceit. It's simply very hard for them to cry. Their tears are as rare as [Question My Heart]."
After Tulan finished asking, it was B80's turn. It asked curiously, "How did you know that Study just now wasn't the real Study? I checked so many times and didn't find any flaws."
Yu Xunge's expression was utterly inscrutable. "I bluffed her."
Tulan & B80: ?
Yu Xunge said, "Exactly. What if time ran out and I stood there stupidly calling her name into thin air, only for nothing to happen? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"
B80 said, "But if she told you it really was the Study, wouldn't that be embarrassing too?"
Without batting an eye, Yu Xunge said, "No. I could just sneer and say, 'Crafty Fragrant Branch. Fine, don't admit it.'"
Tulan: "...Next time we run into a question like this, you can just say it's a secret. Don't tell us. You've shattered all our illusions. I was really admiring you just now."
B80: "Mm-hmm."
