" The Azure Cloud Sect's kill order, once issued, will be pursued relentlessly until death."
Upon hearing Susan's final explanation, Keke remained silent, simply sitting at the table examining the documents in her hands.
In an instant, everything became clear.
Why did my brother suddenly say he wanted to leave home and become independent?
Because he participated in the Witch Association, Si Motu's identity was exposed, and he didn't want to implicate himself!
Why did Ms. Shion break up with her brother so decisively without telling herself the reason?
People with different paths cannot work together. No matter how much I love you, Shion- sensei will never tolerate the fact that my brother is Witch Association!
His love turned to hatred, making him even harsher on his older brother, which led him to issue a kill order.
The more Coco thought about it, the more it made sense, and the more reasonable it seemed. Keke n't help but say in a low voice, "There must be some misunderstanding."
Her brother couldn't possibly do anything bad. She's lived with him for so long; how could she not know his behavior and way of handling things?
He's just a bit short-tempered, a bit fierce, a bit disobedient, a bit brute-forced, sometimes a bit unreasonable, and occasionally he'll hit people.
As she thought about it, Keke herself began to waver.
This guy actually does Return to Truth to have a bit of the Witch Association's evil side.
But she quickly shook her head, "Let's find my brother first, before Azure Cloud!"
We must calm down.
Ultimately, she doesn't know what her brother's current situation is; throwing a tantrum is just childish behavior.
She's already twelve this year, not young anymore. If she skips a grade, she can go to high school right away, which is the age when she can learn calculus and geometry.
This is a symbol of adulthood.
As adults, we must maturely and reliably find solutions to our immediate problems, rather than crying and begging for help from others.
This time it was her turn to help her brother!
However, the girls present all fell silent.
Keke wasn't sad or angry, okay? She was a little bit, but only a little bit.
After all, everyone in the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau was in a difficult position. In this kind of situation, the General Bureau was already bound to the Azure Cloud Sect, so it was indeed a bit inconvenient for them to help.
"If you're not willing to stand by my side, I'll go myself—"
However, Yinlian grabbed her arm and said, "Don't worry, Keke."
Even if the whole world turns its back on you, I will stand with you and Jiang Si.
Upon hearing her friend's words, Keke sniffed, nodded vigorously, and neither spoke nor cried.
"But, Keke, I suspect this is just another lovers' quarrel between Jiang Si and Shion."
They're still a young couple.
They've already broken up, but they're still arguing like a couple!
This situation looks like it's going to result in someone dying, doesn't it?
Susan and An Shiyu were both speechless, but they quickly came to terms with it, as Li Yi's thinking was understandable.
Because of Yinlian, the captain of the magical girl team at the Beihai Disaster Countermeasures Bureau.
It's highly unlikely they would know that Jiang Si is Shion!
"Your hasty intervention now might make the situation worse."
Li Yi said softly, "The worst thing for couples to do when they have a conflict is for others to interfere. It can easily escalate the situation, and even a small conflict that could have been resolved in a day can be blown out of proportion and become a real big problem because of other people's interference."
Upon hearing this, Keke immediately hesitated.
Because when she was in bed at home, she saw that Ms. Shion didn't seem very angry, and she spoke of breaking up in a very calm manner, which didn't seem like she really hated her brother to the core.
"You know so much," Susan sneered from the side.
Yinlian just smiled and said, "That's how my older sister is when she's in a relationship."
Susan paused for a moment, then said, "Wait, when did your older sister start dating?"
"Back in high school, I think."
"Your sister was involved in a magical girl idolization campaign before because she likes magical girls, right? Dating is strictly prohibited there."
"Who would have thought she'd only become a magical girl before she died? Oh well, whatever."
"No wonder she can't get the seeds." Susan scoffed.
An Shiyu cautiously raised her hand. "It has nothing to do with romance, right?"
Li Yi didn't speak again, but seeing that Keke had gradually calmed down and stopped shouting about going out to find her brother, she breathed a slight sigh of relief and smiled relaxedly, "It's okay, once they've both calmed down, we Keke all sit down together and have a good talk. Coco, you can also ask your brother and Teacher Shion why they argued—"
"That won't do!"
BOOM!!
Susan slammed her hands on the table, immediately denying it; the loud noise startled Keke.
Even An Shiyu kept nodding, clearly indicating that she could not agree with Yinlian's statement.
"We absolutely cannot let them sit together, let alone let Keke negotiate; it will definitely cause big problems!"
That idiot Li Yi, she's just as brainless as her sister.
Although she knew in her heart that the magical girl captain of the Beihai Disaster Countermeasures Bureau definitely didn't know that her sect leader was Jiang Si, she was still surprised to see that Li Yi actually wanted to expose the sect leader's identity to Keke.
This is absolutely unacceptable!
The sect leader's decision not to Keke know his identity was clearly well-thought-out, and he had a grand plan that he couldn't let this little girl ruin.
Susan still fantasizes about the day when the sect leader's plan is completed, and she and Keke will both transfer back to Azure Cloud as disciples!
"You yourself said it, the two of you had a fight. If things really break down and you sit together, Jiang Si will be in danger." Susan said in a deep voice, holding the kill order and tapping the document with the back of her hand. " Keke, you can go to the Azure Cloud Sect first and talk to Winter Lord or the disciples about your brother. It will be safer at the Azure Cloud Sect, so that no one will take action against you because your brother has a problem with you—"
Susan herself was somewhat impressed with her own quick wit in giving such a perfect answer.
The result was, "That won't do!"
An Shiyu, who was standing next to her, actually spoke up to refute!
Yinlian nodded repeatedly.
What if sending Keke to the Azure Cloud Sect inadvertently exposes Jiang Si's identity?
It's too dangerous; we absolutely cannot let Keke go to the Azure Cloud Sect.
That idiot Susan, she clearly hates Azure Cloud so much yet still resorts to such a drastic measure, although An Shiyu understands it too.
There was no way to explain this to Senior Susan, the captain of the Beihai Disaster Countermeasures Bureau's guard team who had never had any contact with the Azure Cloud Sect.
Nobody knows Jiang Si's identity!
We can't be too demanding of her.
In An Shiyu's view, Jiang Si didn't want Keke to be exposed to the deep darkness of magical girls and wanted to shoulder everything alone. With such a noble character and behavior, she couldn't let others ruin the dream of the person she loved!
" The Azure Cloud Sect might imprison Keke because of Jiang Si, it's too dangerous to go Azure Cloud Sect now."
After An Shiyu finished speaking, Mujin immediately said, "We can use our spatial powers to hide Jiang Si Jiang Si. Once we find him, we'll hide him and make him explain himself properly—"
I object!
Absolutely not!
This time, it was Yinlian and Susan who jointly opposed it!
Both of them stared at An Shiyu with dissatisfaction and resentment.
I thought you were a teammate, but it turns out you're the one in the most danger!
Although both of them knew that An Shiyu, as a newly arrived magical girl from the Beihai Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, was still relatively inexperienced.
You have absolutely no idea that Jiang Si is Shion!
But to come up with such a ridiculous idea is practically forcing Jiang Si to expose herself in front of Keke.
Absolutely not allowed!
"This kind of imprisonment is too dangerous; it's easy for something to go wrong. Not only would private imprisonment anger Jiang Si, potentially leading to a lose-lose situation, but the Azure Cloud Sect would also likely retaliate against the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, possibly triggering a conflict between the two organizations!"
This is ridiculous! Where does the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau get its freedom now? And they're even in conflict? Do they have any leverage over Azure Cloud?
Susan gave a disdainful sneer to herself.
But he nodded expressionlessly.
After a heated argument, the three of them contradicted each other, each denying the other's claims, yet they all shared the same thought:
Within the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, only I know Jiang Si's true identity, and only I can protect Keke from finding out about this!
Why are the other two always causing trouble?! How can they be so mean!
Just as Yinlian was wondering whether she should display her captain's badge to make everyone listen to her first.
Then Keke said, "No matter what, let's get my brother to the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau first, to avoid the Azure Cloud Sect's pursuit—"
"No!"
The three of them unanimously rejected Keke's suggestion.
Keke then sighed, and before the other three could speak, she softly murmured, " Reality Marble Deployment."
The massive fiery land quickly engulfed the entire Disaster Countermeasures Bureau!
Keke casually pinched a wisp of fire, and it quickly formed Fire Lotus.
The Mental Image Domain, Endless Fire Domain.
Flames possessing more than ten different magical powers burned.
Not only does it greatly enhance magic and fire effects, but it also possesses the same guaranteed hit as Yarrow Mental Image.
Keke raised the four-colored Buddha's Fury Flame Lotus.
"I have to bring my brother back. No matter what he did, I only trust the Witch's Judgment of the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau to clear his name—"
Just as Keke to harden her heart and make everyone faint...
A four- Four Leaves Clover suddenly floated past me.
Next was a Six Leaves clover.
Then, she saw two lovely girls standing in front of her, smiling broadly, completely oblivious to her Mental Image Domain.
Previously at the General Administration, I had used two of her Azure Cloud—
" Keke, it's been a long time!"
Shake hands, shake hands.
The two little girls each held one of her hands, and soon Keke showed a somewhat dazed expression.
Four Leaves Six Leaves clovers smiled sweetly, but then, all the scattered Four Leaves Clover and Six Leaves clovers were burned, and blue ethereal flames ignited on the bodies of the two disciples, gradually disappearing.
"I won't fall for the same trick twice."
Keke took a deep breath, still holding onto the cluster of Fire Lotus, and was about to throw Fire Lotus away when...
Purple fingers gripped her wrist, Keke froze, and turned her head to look.
A magical girl dressed in purple was coldly staring at her. "Stop fooling around, Keke."
"Teacher Shion ----"
The Old World, the Land of Mirrors.
Do you know how many people die in the Old World every day?
"Five hundred thousand! The dead are more numerous than bulldozers can shovel up; they're dumped into the spatial turbulence like garbage every day! And she's afraid we'll escalate things? Go tell your Mirror King that now is not the time to remain silent; now is the time to run!"
"Don't feel ashamed of running away. I have a book in my hand, 'Too Cautious to Survive in the Chaotic World of Beihai ' by Bai Chaoji, a well-known eunuch author in the New World. Although the book is unfinished, the protagonist's cautious spirit is worth learning from!"
"Back in the Calamity Human Realm, Shion's willingness to save us meant she had no intention of killing us. We just need to hide, hide until Shion disappears! Magical girls have a time limit. Once her miracle is over, we'll come back stronger!"
"There's more to defeating your opponent than just facing their strength head-on! There's also the way to avoid their strength!"
--
"Make the Old World great again!"
The Prince watched the video of the Old World leader who was now spreading heresy and deceiving the masses, shook his head, and casually tossed it into the trash can.
"Useless trash, only thinking about escaping. Do you really think the Azure Cloud Sect and Shion will let them go?" The Prince sneered, fiddling with the images in front of him.
The high-tech Mirror Projection screen projected the image, constantly changing as the Prince manipulated it.
She sat on her throne, resting her chin on one hand. "Even if Azure Cloud really has no interest in them, does she really think the Witch Association and the Magical Kingdom are some kind of easy-going organization?"
"It's so pathetic that I feel sorry for them. They'll just quietly drown in their own fantasies."
As the screen was turned off, the system notification popped up next to it.
As the Prince's authority has increased, the system now manifests as a small bird.
Your Majesty is quite right. Should we execute these deserters?
"No need. The situation is already turbulent. If there's further infighting, the remaining people will inevitably panic. Losing these talents will also hinder Full Bloom's plans."
The Prince gazed at the tranquil Land of Mirrors, where all systems operated silently, with only a faint humming sound.
Orderly, silent, powerful, beautiful.
This is her Land of Mirrors, where Alice, who has spread throughout the world, is constantly being produced and began to be transported to the outside world.
The New World, the Old World, and the world beyond the world.
Continuous exploration.
The Prince, feeling that everything was under his control, had crimson pupils that darted around. With a slight exertion, he almost crushed the Miracle Seed in his hand.
They have also achieved mass production of Miracle Seed like the Iris, which Full Bloom.
The rest is the source of magic.
Enough to support four to five Full Bloom magics----
[WARNING: This plan could very well lead to the destruction of the Land of Mirrors and the Old World.]
"You only get one chance."
The Prince said nonchalantly, "This is the only chance to go beyond this world and break down the barriers. Do you think I'd give it up? Even if it's just for Si Motu, I'm going to see what's beyond this world!"
[Reminder: Si Motu's real name is Jiang Si. You don't need to fight for him, nor do you need to continue searching for him. Until his final disappearance, Jiang Si never honestly told you his identity; he was truly just using you.]
"Ha, we don't know yet who's using whom."
The Prince took off his pretty little leather shoes, revealing his legs, clad in white stockings, as he placed them on the dazzling throne.
On that throne, which was as clear and translucent as a diamond, white silk revealed soft, flesh-colored skin, enveloped in the brilliance of diamonds and jewels, making even the simple white silk extremely luxurious.
She hugged her legs and sat curled up on the throne, finally losing the cold and domineering aura she had just displayed.
"In the very end, I manipulated him completely, even to the point of his death, and he dares to say he used me? Don't fool yourself! I went to see him not because I missed him, nor because I was afraid of his death, but simply because I hadn't finished using him yet!"
The system, transformed into a small bird, perched on the Prince's shoulder, seemingly speechless.
[----His Majesty's Ghost Marriage.]
"Naturally, even his corpse will be utilized. By using this ghost marriage to prove to the Old World that I, Yitaen, keep my promise to my allies, while also preventing members of the Old World from attempting to seize control of the Land of Mirrors through marriage. This saves a lot of trouble, killing two birds with one stone."
Judging from the behavior of the members of the Old World, none of them dare to express any intention to form a marriage alliance with you at present.
"Just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't exist. The same goes for Si Motu — Jiang Si!"
The curled-up Prince, like a little girl, denied his own system.
[Judging from the replies, it's mostly His Prince who initiates contact with Mr. Jiang Si; Mr. Jiang Si rarely replies to your messages.]
"I checked, that's just how his zodiac sign is, he doesn't like to reply."
The Prince was just bored when he saw some horoscope posts online. He looked them up out of boredom and felt they made some sense.
With so many people believing it, surely there can't be that many idiots, right?
[But he has never mentioned his girlfriend, Shion, to you. He knew Shion much earlier, and if I may be so bold, Your Majesty, his relationship with Shion might be better; they are the true lovers.]
"Nonsense! If he really liked Shion that much, why would he be willing to get engaged to me, let alone marry me?" Prince said emphatically. "His willingness to do this shows that he doesn't care that much about Shion; instead, he's afraid I'll run away. Besides, do you know what 'later definition takes precedence' means? Later laws supersede earlier laws, new regulations override old regulations, and the same applies to relationships—I came later, which means Jiang Si likes me more than Shion, which is why he's willing to take so many risks—"
[ Jiang Si's last known location was also where Shion appeared. Therefore, it's highly likely that Jiang Si's disappearance is related to Shion. Perhaps they've already returned to their love nest and are enjoying their time together, which explains the long absence.]
"Impossible."
After she finished speaking, the Prince fell silent, her silvery-white hair flowing over her white hair. She leaned slightly against her knees, as if she couldn't find a reason to refute him.
[Please, Prince, face reality, forget that heartless man, and immediately change my voice----]
Before the system could finish its earnest advice, Alice No. 10086 suddenly flew in from outside and immediately knelt down in the hall.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! We've found Si Motu! His identity has been exposed, he was dumped by the Magical Girl Shion, and he's being hunted down by the Azure Cloud Sect— "
I knew it!
Before she could finish speaking, the Prince interrupted her.
The Prince abruptly rose from his crystal throne, clutching the bird on his shoulder, and flashed a smug, confident smile at his system: "See? He loves me! For me, he's even willing to risk his life and break ties with Shion! What else do you have to say?"
[I have nothing more to say.]
After the initial excitement subsided, the Prince quickly calmed down, coughed, composed himself, and regained his noble and aloof demeanor. "How pathetic, Magical Girl Shion, clinging on desperately after being dumped."
"All Alice, enter battle mode! Prepare to march and reclaim your Queen of the Land of Mirrors!"
