Chen Lusi finished washing up and ca out of the bathroom.
The group chat was no longer discussing the explosive news about Yu Zhou Celestial Strategy double-dealing.
He scrolled up a bit.
He found that Yu Zhou Celestial Strategy had blocked quite a few people.
So his colleagues didn’t dare to continue chatting about it, and after a brief wave of complaints about managent, they switched to talking about monkeys and the Anomaly Realm.
Chen Lusi didn’t understand, so he stopped paying attention and instead put away his phone and started eating breakfast.
During this ti.
He noticed again the blank sheet of paper on the table and paused.
Chen Lusi still didn’t have any good ideas.
For the first ti, he realized how hard it is to co up with a na... especially since that little girl didn’t urge him.
So he decided... to think about it so more.
After breakfast, he changed his shoes and went out.
Soon.
Chen Lusi arrived at Celestial Strategy Trading.
Si Yujie was still at the front desk, looking listless and dispirited.
But when she saw Chen Lusi, her spirit lifted imdiately, a mischievous expression appearing on her pretty face as she suddenly said, "Chen Lusi, you’re quite the sinful man, aren’t you?"
"?"
Chen Lusi turned his head, slowly forming a question mark.
"Panqiu is sotis very silly, you know?" Si Yujie continued.
"..."
Chen Lusi didn’t know what to say for a mont.
He knew.
Xia Panqiu could be clumsy at tis.
But he felt that talking behind soone’s back wasn’t very nice.
"Forget it, you young people."
Si Yujie looked at the speechless Chen Lusi and couldn’t help but smile, "I think I’ll stay out of it; I’m quite curious... how Panqiu will handle it."
"..."
What is this person talking about?
Chen Lusi had no idea, so he shook his head and prepared to go inside.
"Wait, Xia Yue is waiting for you on the rooftop."
But Si Yujie suddenly rembered sothing and called out to Chen Lusi, pointing upward.
...
...
Chen Lusi walked out of Celestial Strategy Trading and then went upstairs to the rooftop.
Pushed open the door.
The tall Xia Yue appeared in front of him.
And there was a little girl standing beside him.
But she seed unable to relax, looking sowhat shy, always looking down at her shoes.
Xia Yue spoke to her, and she replied softly.
Her voice was very light.
Upon hearing the door open.
She slightly lifted her head, and when she saw the person was Chen Lusi, her clear eyes lit up, then she seed to get shy again and lowered her head.
"Good morning."
Xia Yue also raised his head, greeted Chen Lusi.
"Good morning."
Chen Lusi nodded and then ca forward to ask, "Is the matter resolved?"
"Not yet; the cleanup will take more ti, but a brute like can’t help anymore."
Xia Yue smiled and explained, "So I ca to talk to you; it’s what I promised you the day before, and you have quite a few questions, right?"
"I see..."
Chen Lusi acknowledged and then glanced at the little girl, hesitated for a mont, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"
The little girl heard Chen Lusi’s voice, softly shook her little head, and replied in a soft voice, "I’m fine...thank you."
"That’s good."
Chen Lusi withdrew his gaze and looked back at Xia Yue, asking, "Actually, I’m most puzzled by why the ’Self’ went to such lengths targeting a little girl because of her Authority Ability?"
"Yes."
Xia Yue confird, "It’s mainly because of her Authority Ability... the ’Self’ wanted to use her to create a new Yellow Springs Branch, shedding its responsibilities and constraints, and there were insiders within Celestial Strategy trying to muddy the waters, which ultimately led to this incident."
Xia Yue didn’t hide much, directly telling Chen Lusi most of the information.
Including the significance of the Yellow Springs Branch to the ’Self,’ the responsibility and constraints on all Empowerers, and the various coincidences of that day.
"I’ve already asked Mount Tai to investigate this, though it’s not very aningful; he’s trustworthy but too mild in nature, always thinking of the bigger picture..."
Xia Yue shook his head lightly, "But for so things, thinking about the bigger picture or smoothing things over is useless."
Chen Lusi was silent for a mont, though he had guessed that there were internal disagreents within the Celestial Strategy Mansion.
But he hadn’t expected that even the top levels were divided.
But he had no say in this matter, so he could only change the topic, "Then what exactly is the little girl’s Authority Ability? Why does it need my permission to be released? Why can it instantly help Xia Panqiu, who was gravely injured, to stand up?"
"Ah, this."
Xia Yue thought for a mont, then suddenly reached into his pocket and took out a coin.
Then.
He looked down at the little girl, "Xiaoyan, try restoring this; show us; it shouldn’t make your spirit thin, right?"
"No."
The little girl finally raised her head completely, softly shaking her head.
"That’s good."
Hearing the definitive answer, Xia Yue casually broke the coin in his hand into two pieces, then placed them in his palm, saying to Chen Lusi, "Please close your eyes."
Chen Lusi did as told and closed his eyes.
Xia Yue also closed his eyes.
"Okay."
A second later.
The little girl’s soft voice rang out.
Xia Yue opened his eyes, and the coin in his palm was intact; he smiled, then tossed the coin to Chen Lusi, "Take a look."
Chen Lusi caught the coin and examined it closely; there were no seams.
It was a perfect coin.
He figured Xia Yue wouldn’t be bored enough to swap coins and perform magic tricks.
So...
Chen Lusi looked at the little girl nad Si Jiayan.
She shyly lowered her head again.
"This is her Authority Ability."
Xia Yue ruffled the little girl’s hair, then explained, "When she’s the only observer, she can restore anything she can see according to her will.
Even creating anything she can see."
"Life and death, living creatures, even humans."
"For instance, when Xia Panqiu was gravely injured, and she was the only one looking at him, she could imagine, believe that Xia Panqiu was unhard, and hence... make Xia Panqiu truly unhard."
"Impressive, right?"
"When this ability was revealed, it shocked everyone at the Celestial Strategy Mansion."
"Because theoretically, she could even resurrect the dead, make the old young again, as long as she ensures she’s the only observer."
"Causality seed to lose its effect in front of her Authority Ability."
"To this day, the folks at Kunlun still haven’t figured out the Authority Ability Source Canon for her power; all they know is the na of the Authority — ’Reverse’."
"Because her Authority Ability is so powerful... besides its regular applications, many even suggested training her to beco a savior when situations beco irretrievable."
Chen Lusi was slightly taken aback, asking, "... Savior?"
"For example, in extre circumstances, if half of this city was destroyed."
Xia Yue pointed to his side and said softly, "Then evacuate everyone, and let her restore the city, resurrect all the victims."
"..."
Chen Lusi was stunned by this and couldn’t help but look at the short little girl.
This was too heavy...
"But I believe such a burden shouldn’t be placed on a little girl."
Xia Yue ruffled the little girl’s hair, saying, "Because every ti she uses her ability, her spirit becos thinner.
That’s right, her Authority Ability cos with a cost, and the cost is her spirit.
If she truly restored a city, regardless of feasibility, the little girl would vanish like smoke.
Let alone on such a basis, she’d still have to bear the responsibility of healing the wounded and resurrecting the dead.
But so in the Celestial Strategy Mansion believe this cost is bearable.
However, I think such precautionary asures are completely unnecessary; we adults shouldn’t do this, that’s our responsibility as adults, so I forcibly brought her back, let her go to school."
