But now, in order to help Qiji collect the Echo Fragment of the [Moonlight Lineage], she has no choice but to go!
Let her see what the Sea of Consciousness is all about!
Since Qiji gave her something so precious, Liuli couldn't very well not reciprocate.
"Oh right, I'll go get the Sword of No Thought for you."
Actually, this should have been your sword to begin with—
After all, you were the one who helped me kill that bastard.
But before, I did this for... cough cough!
What followed was something a girl would be too embarrassed to say aloud.
Liuli coughed twice to quickly stop talking.
Just as he was about to retrieve the sword, Qiji raised his hand to stop him.
"Keep the sword with you."
After all, that sword requires the secret techniques of your Kamishiro Family's Mind Lineage to maintain, doesn't it?
Moreover, without a scabbard, the Sword of No Thought unleash its full power.
So, Liuli -san—"
Qiji looked at her and said softly,
"You are more important than the sword."
"...?!"
Liuli thought she should bring a tape recorder with her next time!
In this way, we can record all the things that Qiji- san says that touch her heart.
Then, every midnight when I wake up, I listen to it over and over again.
Qiji did not Sword of No Thought.
Yes, you heard right.
Because at this moment, Qiji already had a better sword!
After the prototype of the Palace of the Suyo Mental Image Palace was completed, Qiji's [Thousand Faces] officially unlocked its first True Name—
[The Sword of Mirrors]
With a new love interest, Sword of No Thought was naturally relegated to the sidelines by Qiji.
Unless it's the Final Form: No Thought with a Liuli scabbard, what can the normal Sword of No Thought compare to his [Sword of Mirrors]?
After receiving two Epic Fragment of the Mind Lineage from Qiji, Liuli reluctantly took her leave.
Although she longed to stay by Qiji's side forever, she wanted even more to repay Qiji's kindness.
She must refine these two fragments as soon as possible, and then enter the Sea of Consciousness to find a fragment suitable for Qiji's lineage!
Bai Lili did not come to the hospital.
I haven't seen a soul all day.
Because a major event happened in the Bai Family today.
The Thousand Faces Family sent someone to annul the engagement.
Mr. and Mrs. Bai sat in the main seats, their faces never looking so grim.
Bai Lili's marriage to Suyo had been known throughout the city for many years.
Now, the Thousand Faces Family has come to annul the engagement. How will everyone in the City of Kindling view Lili after this?
"Uncle and Aunt, we are sorry, it is our Thousand Faces Family that has let down the Bai Family."
Consider this compensation.
Suyo handed over the gift list and felt the gazes cast upon him by the Bai Family. Feeling extremely uncomfortable, he immediately prepared to get up and take his leave.
Just as he turned around, Bai's father called out to him:
"Wait, take these things away! The Bai Family doesn't need your little things!"
"Uncle, this is what we owe the Bai Family..."
"I told you to take it!" With a sudden burst of force, the armrest of the chair cracked.
Suyo was frozen in place for a moment.
The members of the Thousand Faces Family who had come with them tried to smooth things over, but Father Bai had already ordered his servants to throw out all the gift boxes.
After leaving the Bai Family, Suyo was in a very low mood.
Her cousin Thousand Faces Suqing, who accompanied her to annul the engagement, comforted her upon seeing this:
"Alright, Suyo, I know you and Bai Lili have a very good relationship."
However, if the Isolde Family is placed alongside the Bai Family, even a second's hesitation would be disrespectful to the future of the family!
Moreover, Miss Vivian from the Isolde Family is in no way inferior to Bai Lili looks, not to mention in other aspects...
"Alright, cousin, that's enough. You should go back now."
Suyo's gaze passed over him and landed on the figure that had chased after them from the Bai Family.
Following her gaze, Thousand Faces Suqing also saw Bai Lili running towards him with tears in her eyes. He looked at Suyo and nodded.
Before leaving, he lowered his voice and added another reminder:
"Remember, you are now a member of the Isolde Family. Don't get involved in any more ambiguous relationships with her."
"Cousin, that's enough."
Thousand Faces Suqing nodded and quickly left, giving her "cousin" and her "ex-wife" some alone time.
Suyo and Bai Lili.
Since the anime series began airing, the two characters have been the subject of much discussion due to their complex relationship.
At this moment, the sight of these two "enemies" together was naturally captured by the camera in the live stream.
Qiji was squatting in Bai Lili's live stream room at this moment, watching this scene, and exclaimed, "Wow!"
He never expected that the anime series "Echo" would include a classic "annulment" scene.
Although this dramatic "annulment of the engagement" was almost entirely orchestrated by him...
But the most outrageous thing is that all three main characters— Vivian who tries to steal the bride, Suyo who cancels the engagement, and Bai Lili who is jilted—are women...
It's really hard for Qiji to hold back her laughter during the live stream.
Does it have to be this melodramatic?
Should we do it this way?
The comments section clearly shared the same sentiment as Qiji's:
"This is unbelievable! It really is a drama involving three women!"
"Wait, why isn't the storyline in the Sea of Consciousness being streamed live? I feel like I missed a lot of the plot!"
"The plot of the Sea of Consciousness will probably have to wait until this week's main anime episode to be released."
"Listen up, everyone! Based on the information I've gathered from various live streams, I've roughly pieced together what happened in the Sea of Consciousness! It's roughly this: Suyo-chan obtained Myth Fragment, was hunted down by the Isolde Family, then performed flawlessly and successfully escaped. Thanks to his outstanding performance, he caught the eye of this newly introduced character, Vivian."
"Wow, that's awesome! Thanks for summarizing the plot!"
"Holy crap! Suyo-chan has finally stood up for itself!"
"Where's Prisoner Ji? What's Prisoner Ji doing?"
"Prisoner Ji is spitting blood..."
Faced with Bai Lili's tearful eyes, Suyo felt completely guilty.
Suyo was incredibly embarrassed and really wanted to ask her brother how she should handle this situation!
In short, apologize first.
For so many years, she has felt guilty towards Bai Lili.
Not only did he never give the girl a kind look, but now he's adding the stigma of "being jilted at the altar" to her reputation.
"Sorry..."
You must be very happy, right?
The words of Suyo had barely left his lips when Bai Lili interrupted him.
The girl, fighting back tears, asked her softly.
Bai Lili to hear the truth from the Suyo.
At this point, shouldn't we at least give her the truth?
"Huh? I... no... I didn't..."
Suyo wronged!
She'd rather maintain her relationship with Bai Lili than have a marriage alliance with the Isolde Family!
If Vivian eventually discovers she's a woman—
She simply couldn't bear to think about the consequences!
She's panicking terribly right now, how could she possibly be happy!
"Student Suyo, please tell me."
Now that things have come to this, please tell me the truth.
Tell me, you've never liked me.
Tell me, you've always hated me.
Tell me, you've wanted to call off the engagement for a long time.
Let's be honest!
"Tell the truth? Fine!"
Since things have come to this, let's go all out and Suyo!
She didn't want to lie anymore, and she didn't want to hurt Bai Lili anymore.
Listen up, Bai Lili—
I like you a lot; I liked you the moment I saw you.
You are gentle, kind, and beautiful.
Suyo truly believed that if her brother were still alive, he would definitely like Bai Lili too, right?
My brother, sister-in-law, and she—the three of them will definitely be able to live a good life together!
But--
She's not my brother.
Suyo took a deep breath, truly hoping to convey her heartfelt feelings:
"Bai Lili, I don't dislike you, I've never disliked you, how could anyone possibly dislike you..."
Despite being a young lady from a wealthy family, she never acted like one.
I gave you the cold shoulder, ignored you, and said so many hurtful things to you.
Every time you cautiously approach me, I push you away with the coldest words.
