Clearly, Qian Zhong wanted to analyze the Qi-Machine Guidance for some other purpose, yet nothing she said was remotely off-putting.
Feng Jun had already shown off the Heaven-Deriving Mirror before, so whether he did so again was no longer important. In fact, when he took out that cluster of qi, he felt a little regretful: Had I known this would happen, there would have been no need to expose the Heaven-Deriving Mirror in the first place.

"Probably... yes," Feng Jun
