Stargazer's Feelings; A Subtle Confession.
The Jackal stood frozen in place, not reacting even as the soldiers carried it away.
Everything happened so fast, the reversal was too swift, and no one expected it. Kiana's feigned ignorance was a natural performance, and even Vill-V, Mobius, and Tesla didn't realize it.
Those viewers who guessed that this web series was a microcosm of the main storyline couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, because they had just been speculating that Kiana would join World Serpent and stand against Theresa.
Only Elysia strongly opposed it, believing that it was impossible.
"Wow, having Kiana pretend to be stupid, what a brilliant mind that takes to come up with that! Even we probably wouldn't have figured it out, let alone the Jackal."
"This is terrifying; the prototype for Guān Xīng is indeed Zhuge Liang, the village magistrate."
"Mobius, how is it?"
Vill-V raised an eyebrow.
"Snort."
Mobius snorted coldly and didn't say anything more.
"Hehe, as expected of Father Emperor's most favored little Guān Xīng, this was all within your calculations!"
After eliminating the Jackal, Kiana asked Guān Xīng to return, but Guān Xīng refused. To her, the Jackal was nothing; sealing the alien beast was the real priority.
Kiana knew about Guān Xīng, so she spurred her horse and prepared to lead her soldiers back to the city.
"The road ahead is fraught with peril... Little Guān Xīng, you must come back!"
"Yes... Certainly. Please take good care of yourself, Uncle."
"Wait a minute, this isn't right, is it?"
It was only then that Elysia realized something was wrong.
It's an error in the way they address each other and in their seniority.
"What's wrong?"
"Vill-V asked."
"Theresa is Kiana's Aunt, but now Theresa has to call Kiana' Royal Uncle'."
Elysia pointed to the title on the screen.
"What's wrong with that? Guān Xīng is the Crown Grandson, which is the Crown Prince's daughter. Kiana, as the Second Prince, should naturally call him Imperial Uncle."
"Vill-V explained."
The explanation is perfect.
But Elysia was more convinced that it was someone's twisted sense of humor.
St. Freya Academy, Headmaster's Office.
"Theresa, what are your thoughts on calling your little niece 'Royal Uncle'?"
Himeko joked.
"Get out!"
Theresa's face turned bright red with anger.
They channeled their anger onto Yaqing.
"I, Theresa, will never forgive you!!"
Himeko picked at her ear. She naturally knew who Theresa was referring to, but she had heard Theresa say this countless times before, and it had no real effect.
The following night, near Linjiang Pavilion.
As the Guān Xīng set up the final array point, Xiao Te inspected the last Iron Fist, and the Captain ate the cherry blossom cake that Guan Xin had given him while adding firewood to the campfire.
"I said... Xiao Te, do you really have to stay here?"
"I had to do it this way; it's part of history."
"Is there no other way?"
"You know that kind of thing better than I do."
They looked at each other in silence.
To break the awkward atmosphere, Xiao Te jokingly said that if he felt bad, he should treat him to a drink next time they met, but by then, the Captain probably wouldn't remember anything.
"There's nothing we can do about it."
The conversation between the Captain and Xiao Te.
It left the audience completely confused.
What does it mean to be a link in history? What does it mean for the Captain to know better? What does it mean for the Captain to remember nothing the next time they meet?
"Just as I thought!"
Vill-V clapped her hands excitedly.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Did you understand?"
Elysia was curious, and whenever there was a plot she couldn't understand, she always felt like her IQ was being rubbed into the ground.
"I don't know if my guess is right."
Vill-V looked at Yaqing.
Yaqing gestured for him to proceed.
Then Vill-V said, "I don't know if you know a term? It's called historical rectification, also known as binding. What the Captain is doing now is something that should have happened in history, so he can't change it."
"And the next time we meet, the Captain that Xiao Te mentioned who knows nothing is probably the Captain who should have appeared in history. In other words, the future Captain will go back, and the next time the past Captain will appear."
Vill-V became more and more excited as she spoke.
Paradoxes always arise in plots involving time.
Elysia's eyes seemed to be spinning.
Viewers in the live stream exclaimed that they couldn't understand it.
Vill-V was somewhat disappointed; she felt she had already explained things very simply.
Just as Vill-V was explaining, Mobius grabbed Yaqing, who was trying to sneak away, and asked with a smile, "Where are you going? Aren't you going to finish watching before you leave?"
Yaqing's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Just now, he suddenly remembered the plot that was about to unfold.
It's estimated that once Mobius finishes his attack, the defense will be completely breached.
I'm afraid neither Elysia nor Vill-V can stop her.
So Yaqing planned to sneak away while Mobius's attention was drawn away by Vill-V, but she was caught red-handed.
Yaqing felt a little embarrassed, her mind racing, trying to come up with an excuse to leave temporarily.
Mobius noticed Yaqing's guilty conscience and moved her pretty face closer and closer, her eyes scrutinizing him like a criminal, tightly gripping the hem of his clothes.
What are you so nervous about?
Am I... am I nervous?
Yaqing thought to herself, "Who wouldn't be nervous in this situation? If Mei saw Kevin and Vita's sweet story, even the rational Mei would probably break down. Then I'll ask Kevin if he's nervous."
"Salome just messaged me saying that something suddenly happened at the company and I need to go back to the company to take a look."
Yaqing lied and tried to slip away.
"Sit down."
"Mobius said in a deep voice."
"That..."
"Sit down!"
Yaqing sat down obediently.
He had originally planned to avoid Mobius's experimental table, but seeing that Mobius was angry, he quickly and obediently sat down.
The reason Mobius got angry was not because the script was too sweet, but because Yaqing's avoidance reminded her of the past, which made her unable to hold back her anger.
But what Mobius didn't know was that what was about to happen would truly make her so angry she felt terrible.
Yaqing swallowed hard.

Chapter 354 The Heartfelt Thoughts of Guān Xīng, a Subtle Confession.
The Captain followed the footprints and groped his way forward in the dark forest. He walked for a long time, so long that he forgot the meaning of his journey, until finally a beam of light led him out of the forest.
A beam of light that is not dazzling, but rather warm.
"What a nice view..."
The Captain was stunned by the beautiful scenery before him.
Guān Xīng and released sky lanterns, the warm light shone on her fair face, and pink and white petals fluttered down, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
When my grandfather was still alive, they would release ninety-nine sky lanterns every Mid-Autumn Festival. My grandmother passed away before she could remember anything, and turned into a star in the sky.
"[This is an object to entrust one's longing, which will surely send one's words to infinite distances]... Grandpa has always believed this... always."
"Yes, it definitely will."
"Well?"
"Even if this sky lantern cannot reach the Stars, the longing within it can surely be sent to a place farther than the stars."
The background music started playing at this moment.
Like the longing that cherry blossoms bring.
This Guān Xīng scene is absolutely beautiful.
Not only was the Captain stunned, but the audience was also stunned.
The filters are beautiful, and the visuals and characters are all perfect.
"Is this still my Aunt?!"
Kiana looked on in disbelief, her mouth agape as if she could swallow a light bulb.
"The headmistress has always been very beautiful, it's just that she's not tall..."
Since Bronya left the category of flat-chested, short loli, she has become increasingly adept at teasing the headmistress about her height.
Kiana thought about it carefully.
Theresa and Kallen look almost identical, except Theresa is more youthful-looking than Kallen, more like a miniature version of Kallen.
When I met Guān Xīng and he mentioned that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, his grandfather would take him to send sky lanterns to his deceased grandmother, hoping that his thoughts would reach the stars, I couldn't help but fall silent.
In this World Bubble, Kallen and Otto are able to achieve a happy ending.
Otto was pleased after seeing it.
"Etc."
He suddenly realized something was wrong.
If the late emperor really was me, then I and Kallen had Kiana?! And who is the eldest prince?
"Even so... Mr. Assassin, the longing in my heart cannot reach your home through this sky lantern, can it?"
"Well?"
"After all... that's a future that even I can't reach..."
The Captain was struck dumb.
Seeing the expression on the Captain's face, Guān Xīng knew he had guessed correctly.
We went Guān Xīng.
The audience got goosebumps from this kind of direct attack.
Except for one person, and that was Mobius.
