Chapter 39 The performance of the mech still depends on the pilot (5000)
"Have seen enough?"

The cold voice rang out, and even Coco's heart skipped a beat, her whole body stiffening.

It evokes a sense of panic, like being caught cheating on an exam by the proctor.

Although they thought they had maintained a good distance, it wasn't surprising that Shion, with her abilities, would sense that she was being monitored...

Only Yinlian stepped forward, blocking the way for everyone, and bravely looked Ziyuan in the eye, saying, "We are just worried about Jiang Si's safety."

"Disrupting someone's date."

With a slight tilt of her head, Ziyuan's imposing aura forced Yinlian to take a step back. However, as the captain of the magic combat team, the girl stubbornly raised her head and refused to bow it.

Don't you think you've gone too far?

Faced with Ziyuan's question, the girls all turned their heads away somewhat awkwardly.

As a girl myself, I can more or less guess how angry I would be if my date was interrupted.

The peonies, in particular, dared not raise their heads.

However, they didn't interfere at all—although I had wanted to interfere before, I ultimately didn't dare to...

Surely they wouldn't actually resort to violence?
"So we just watched the whole time and didn't get close." Yinlian also argued logically, "Your Qingyun Sect has always claimed to be the leader of the righteous path, so you can't be so unreasonable as to ignore this basic principle."

In reality, it's not Jiang Si who's controlling the Purple Puppet now, but Bing Tang.

After the date ended, Jiang Si simply left. Although his injuries were not serious, he planned to go back and rest as soon as possible.

The Qingyun Sect disciples, who witnessed the entire ordeal through the puppet's vision, couldn't help but marvel at their sect leader's ruthlessness, showing no mercy even to himself...

Bing Tang, who had already won control of the puppet, naturally took over the puppet after Jiang Si left.

Prepare to complete the planned tasks.

She had already practiced in front of the mirror many times yesterday, so imitating Shion's expression wasn't difficult.

In particular, Shion usually wears a cold, poker face, which is quite easy for her to fake.

"This date was quite enjoyable."

The puppet maintained its usual indifferent tone, "I won't pursue this matter further."

Peony immediately beamed with joy, "The leader of the Qingyun Sect is indeed magnanimous and worthy of the title of leader of the righteous path in the North Sea."

Although Yinlian next to her also breathed a sigh of relief, she immediately glared at Mudan, telling her teammate to shut up.

The others also relaxed to some extent.

Although Susan knew she was a disciple of the Qingyun Sect and that Ziyuan would never lay a hand on her, she was genuinely worried about disrupting the date and felt somewhat guilty.

"If you dare to follow Jiang Si again, don't blame me for being impolite."

Upon hearing this, Peony immediately nodded vigorously, "Of course, of course. Now that we know Jiang Si is backed by the Qingyun Sect, we are relieved. We were just worried that Jiang Si might be bewitched by the witch. Please rest assured, Miss Ziyuan."

“He has no connection with the Qingyun Sect,” the puppet said slowly. “He only has a personal relationship with me.”

"Understand."

Susan's previously somewhat guilty expression returned to its usual serious and solemn demeanor, and she simply asked, "You came all the way here just to say this?"

She can't contact the Qingyun Sect right now, so this is a good opportunity.

What's the next step?
However, Ziyuan didn't even look at her, but only gazed at Yinlian and Mudan:
“You say Jiang Si is suspected of colluding with the Witch Society, but in my opinion, you are all suspected of colluding with the Witch Society as well.”

The feeling of suffocation spread again.

Even Yinlian felt a little flustered at this moment.

The tone and manner of their statements made it seem as if they had angered Ziyuan by provoking Jiang Si, leading Ziyuan to seek revenge.

The puppet tilted her head, her long purple hair flowing like water over her shoulders. "Even for the sake of future stability in BH City, I hope you can clean up the witch gang members within the bureau as soon as possible."

As he said this, his gaze swept over Yin Luo, one of the five.

Subconsciously adjusting her glasses, Yinlu asked, "What evidence do you have? The Disaster Prevention Bureau is not the Qingyun Sect and can't act arbitrarily. Without solid evidence, we can't arrest people."

"You need to realize your place."

The puppet's tone was flat and even. "We have no obligation to provide you with evidence. It's your business if the witch infiltrates the Disaster Management Bureau. Go find the evidence yourselves."

Yinlu pursed her lips and didn't say anything more.

While Susan beside her wore an unpleasant expression, she had a sudden realization.

The Qingyun Sect doesn't have conclusive evidence yet; they'll probably need to find more evidence themselves.

If evidence of the Witch's Guild members cannot be preserved, the Qingyun Sect will lose its legitimacy to commit murder. Once the Beihai Disaster Prevention Bureau reports to headquarters, this will create a lot of trouble for them.

Their target is the Miracle Seed. Bing Tang had previously told her the complete plan: have the Witches send out the Miracle Seed, and then snatch it back from the Witches.

They made a mess of the loss of the miracle seed.

That is my own task.

Now that there's additional evidence of the Witch's Guild members' identities, it seems the sect is preparing to eliminate them...

Now that the identities of the Witch's Guild members have been confirmed, this matter is not difficult.

With her gaze fixed on Yinluo, Susan raised her voice and said, "Of course we will thoroughly investigate the Disaster Management Bureau. We will search high and low to find all the members of the Witch Society. The Disaster Management Bureau will never let any member of the Witch Society go! On this point, we share the same view as your Qingyun Sect."

Yinlu naturally noticed the gazes from both sides, and unconsciously, her hand, which was adjusting her glasses, trembled slightly.

The Purple Puppet nodded gently. "Then I'll wait for your good news. Don't disappoint me. If the Disaster Management Bureau can't do it, don't blame our Qingyun Sect for stepping in to help."

Susan also raised her head and said, "The internal affairs of the Disaster Management Bureau are absolutely none of your concern, Qingyun Sect, nor do you need to interfere. You should worry more about whether you will be infiltrated by the Witch Society."

Peony, standing nearby, immediately gave a thumbs-up in admiration.

As expected of Susan, she's reckless and fearless. Even the most terrifying purple magical girl in BH City stands tall and fearless.

Regardless of whether we can win or not, we can't lose in terms of momentum!

Susan was actually on the verge of tears.

After finally meeting and being able to strike up a conversation, I was forced to adopt this attitude, speak in such an aggressive tone, and even sound somewhat provocative.

It was pure torture, especially the thought that Shion might be upset made me even more uneasy.

All I could do was pray silently, hoping that Lady Shion wouldn't hate me...

Fortunately, Shion the Puppet didn't seem interested in saying anything more after that, nor did she show any annoyance or disgust. She simply turned around and left calmly.

The almost solidified pressure in the air dissipated.

Susan felt a little relieved and turned to say something to Yinlian, but suddenly saw Coco stand up.

"Shion, teacher!"

Her voice was rather loud, and it seemed that shouting had exhausted all her strength. She took a breath, looked at Ziyuan who had turned around, and continued, "Will we have a chance to meet again in the future?"

"Hmm." The puppet struck a thoughtful pose, looking rather cute. "Perhaps there are many opportunities, if your brother is willing."

Yinlian looked at Coco with concern, but found that the girl did not react much. She simply said, "I know, even so, even so, I still want to be your friend. Teacher Ziyuan has nothing to do with Jiang Si, it's just that Teacher Ziyuan and I can be friends."

Bing Tang was momentarily at a loss for words.

Although she didn't know how Coco's sister's thought process suddenly turned to this, being friends with her brother's lover—it just seemed weird, right?

We're family now, why do we need to care if we're friends or not?

She dared not answer rashly, for such a question could easily lead to a mistake if not answered carefully.

After thinking about it, he had no choice but to turn to Jiang Si and eventually just hand over control to her.

She was afraid that if she said something wrong, it would expose her.

It's better for the person in question to respond to this kind of thing.

After Jiang Si regained control of the puppet, her expression became somewhat languid and weary.

Peony and Susan immediately exchanged a glance, both of them noticing the change in Ziyuan's gaze.

It's like he's become a completely different person.

While Shion's earlier presence was somewhat oppressive, her inhuman coldness wasn't actually that intense. But now, just one look from her was enough to chill one to the bone.

That look, as if you were looking at a pile of garbage, devoid of any extra emotion, instantly clicked...

He turned to the side, his gaze falling on Coco's anxious face. A single sentence froze the air once more, and Coco lowered her head:
"Your most important task right now is to go back to class."

……

After parting ways with Ziyuan, Yinluo personally drove Keke to school.

Although I still missed it in the end and missed a class.

When Coco left, Yinlu looked at Susan and Peony in the rearview mirror.

The two of them didn't drive over, so they hitched a ride with her. Peony was already quite tired and was dozing off by the window.

Only Susan, with that scrutinizing gaze, kept staring at her.

I started the car, ready to take Yinlian to school again. Yinlian High School wasn't far from here.

Yinluo finally spoke: "About Jiang Si..."

The younger sister next to her also turned to look at her, seemingly surprised that she had brought up this matter again.

“I don’t think we can just let this go.” Taking a breath, Yinluo continued, “It’s still too dangerous for him to be in contact with Ziyuan like this. Perhaps we should increase our surveillance efforts and be more discreet…”

"You mean, even though the entire Disaster Management Bureau is helpless against Ziyuan, and Ziyuan has personally warned us not to continue monitoring Jiang Si, we should still increase our surveillance of Jiang Si and do everything we can to anger Ziyuan and the Qingyun Sect behind her?"

Susan said with amusement, "Is that so, Miss Yinluo? Are you afraid that the Disaster Management Bureau and the Qingyun Sect won't go to war?"

Before Yinlu could speak, Yinlian said somewhat unhappily, "Miss Susan, although my sister's words were ill-considered, I believe she doesn't think that way. Please don't make malicious assumptions."

With a sneer, Susan offered no explanation.

As Yinluo drove, she took a deep breath. "I know, so we can apply for assistance from headquarters first. The reason why the Qingyun Sect can run rampant in Beihai is because they have a leader of the Shengzhan level. As long as we invite the Shengzhan magical girl from headquarters, we can make them hesitate to act."

The atmosphere was a little stiff for a while.

Susan gave a look of exasperation and amusement. "Very well, you're a genius, Yinluo. You applied to headquarters for the Blooming Magical Girls' assistance because you wanted to deeply monitor Ziyuan's boyfriend, Jiang Si. Didn't you laugh when you said that?"

"This is to deter the Qingyun Sect, not for such a superficial matter."

"It's not such a superficial thing? If it's not such a superficial thing, why didn't you apply for it before?"

"Because I didn't apply before, does that mean I can't apply now?"

"So how long are you planning to wait? Six months? A year?"

Even Yinlian, who always went along with her sister, hesitated for a moment. "Sister, every Blooming Magical Girl has to guard cities and regions where A-rank disaster beasts appear. Headquarters just reported that South China suffered huge losses because the Blooming Magical Girl stationed there was reassigned and was trampled by A-rank disaster beasts. Unless there is a threat like an A-rank disaster beast, it's generally best not to apply..."

Yinlu's face darkened: "Is the threat posed by the Qingyun Sect any less than that of an A-rank disaster beast? Ziyuan is a magical girl at the Blooming Stage; if she goes out of control, she's more dangerous than an A-rank disaster beast!"

“The problem is that she didn’t lose control,” Susan retorted methodically. “In fact, there wasn’t even a sign of her losing control. On the contrary, because of her activities, the North Sea simply doesn’t have the conditions to produce A-level disaster beasts. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have needed to go to headquarters to apply for the assistance of the Blooming Magical Girl.”

"I think you're just afraid of Ziyuan and the Qingyun Sect!"

"Isn't it you who's afraid?" Susan said sharply. "What are you afraid of, Yinluo! The Qingyun Sect and the Disaster Prevention Bureau have coexisted for three years. You weren't afraid any earlier or later, but now you're afraid! I'm starting to suspect that you're involved in the theft of the Miracle Seed."

Yinluo's gaze suddenly turned fierce. "You suspect me? Aren't you the most suspicious one? You used to pretend that you and the Witch Society were mortal enemies of the Qingyun Sect, but when you met Ziyuan, you acted all humble and even made excuses for the Qingyun Sect. I highly suspect that you are the mole in the Qingyun Sect, Miss Susan!"

"You really dare to say that, colluding with the Witch Association..."

"enough!"

Yinlian suddenly shouted and even transformed, suppressing the aura of the two.

The immense magical power caused the vehicles to come to a moment's halt.

The pink-clad magical girl's face was stern, her eyes filled with anger. "If you're going to argue, then argue. Don't throw mud at your colleagues. You've never been this tactless before. What's wrong with you today? Did Shion's warning scare you like this? You're starting to attack your own comrades!"

Susan gave a cold laugh. "She started it."

"Should we review who first suspected the other person?"

Yinlian immediately patted her sister's shoulder, "Alright, stop talking."

Although still angry, Yinluo finally took a deep breath and calmed down.

Then, the car slammed on the brakes, and Susan, who wasn't wearing a seatbelt, slammed headfirst into the seat.

Even the sleeping Peony was jolted awake by the sudden braking and slammed into the front seat, rubbing her head and crying out "Ouch!" She groggily opened her eyes, asking, "What happened? What happened? Did we encounter a monster?"

Yinlian had originally intended to keep a straight face, but seeing Mudan's silly expression, she couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated.

Yinlu unlocked the door and said, "Get out of here yourselves. I'm too lazy to pull you out."

"Fine, I'll get out. Who cares about riding in your car?" Susan immediately opened the car door and got out.

Peony, standing nearby, still looked completely bewildered. "What happened? What happened? I didn't do anything! Don't drag me into this..."

After Susan pulled her out, she smacked her on the head hard. "Stop yelling, you're so spineless."

Watching the car drive away, Peony looked helplessly at her friend, "Why did you get so angry?"

“Don’t you think she’s strange?” Susan said in a low voice. “She’s been really suspicious lately, Yinluo.”

Peony touched her forehead and sighed, "But she's still Yinlian's older sister..."

“Even if she’s the bureau chief’s mother, it won’t matter.” Susan hailed a taxi. “I need to investigate her.”

……

The vehicle arrived at the high school gate quickly, just as the bell rang to signal the end of the first class.

Yinlian has also exited her transformation state.
She glanced cautiously at her sister's face, then bumped her head against her arm. "Are you still angry, sister?"

"I'm not going to get angry with that kind of idiot."

"Hehe, that's right, sister, don't bother with that old witch. She's just here to annoy people anyway."

Seeing her laughing sister, Yinluo's expression gradually softened. "Regarding Jiang Si, I still think..."

"It's alright." Yinlian suddenly patted her chest. "Leave it to me. Although I probably can't date him, I'll try to persuade him as a friend. Don't worry about it, sister."

Hearing her sister's words, Yinluo finally couldn't help but laugh, and Yinlian secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her sister laughing.

From childhood to adulthood, Yinlian was most afraid of her older sister getting angry.

"If you're too shy to confess, I'll teach you a trick, Yiyi. Write him a love letter and slip it to him. Since you know his sister, just have Keke deliver it for you. Boys usually fall for that."

"Really?" After asking, Yinlian immediately shook her head. "I didn't intend to confess my feelings, why would I write a love letter?"

"Writing a letter to say things you wouldn't dare to say in person, to deepen your understanding, is that okay? Writing letters makes it easier to open up to each other and improve relationships more easily than having a conversation."

Yinlian looked at her sister suspiciously, "Really?"

"When have I ever lied to you, my silly sister?"

Yinlian rubbed her forehead, pushed open the car door, and prepared to get out: "Then I'll give it a try."

"Love letters must be written on pink paper."

"It's not a love letter!"

Yinlu's smile faded as she watched her younger sister run into the school.

He reached into his pocket and took out the bottle of medicine, looking at the liquid sloshing inside.

It seems we can't delay any longer.

I was originally thinking of waiting a little longer...

Taking a deep breath, Yinlu looked at herself in the car mirror.

It was utterly hideous.

Goodbye, Silver Lotus.
