Chapter 412 Return and Confession
"Long time no see, Master Yixuan."
"Eh?!"
The moment Yi Xuan saw Xing Jianya, her body reacted instinctively, and a black-gold energy emanated from her body. Realizing what had happened, Yi Xuan quickly assured her that she would handle everything, but the somewhat panicked expression on her face suggested something was amiss.
Immediately, Yi Xuan turned around and looked at the filthy demon. Upon seeing the familiar appearance before him, Yi Xuan's expression instantly darkened.
"I had a premonition when I first heard the information, and I didn't expect it to be just as I thought. It's been so long since I've seen my sister."
Then, he gathered cloud-like magic in his hands and said in a deep voice, "However, you are ultimately just an illusion, so let me free you."
The battle resumed, and soon the filthy demon revealed its core in front of the three Void Hunter level experts.
Then, while the opponent was still repairing its shell, Yi Xuan flashed behind it and used the Cloud Piercing Technique to strike its back, breaking the opponent's recovery spell formed by the Cloud Piercing Technique.
With a series of agonizing screams from the Filthy Demon, Yi Xuan indicated that the opponent's spell had been broken and that he could unleash his full power. The Filthy Demon then suffered a fierce attack from the group and subsequently dissipated.
After resolving the matter here, the group first collected the information, then left the cave and returned to Suibian Temple.
There, everyone saw that one of the leaders of Shining Crystal Namek, Filock, was being tied up along with his subordinates, surrounded by Iserde and her Opoles squad. Upon entering the courtyard, they could see the Herrscher of Knowledge sitting silently guarding the room where the H.D.D temporary components were stored.
Seeing everyone return, he stretched and got up to leave, but was stopped by Yi Xuan. After all, it was thanks to the Herrscher of Knowledge that he was able to discover Philoxus's little tricks in time. While informing the resting Yi Xuan, he quickly went down the mountain to save the two people who were left to guard Suibianguan.
As for Iserld, he went to Moon City Willow and began exchanging the information they had obtained. With this, it was a foregone conclusion that Shining Crystal Mek would be suppressed.
It is even possible that it will shrink and be ruthlessly devoured by other TOPS groups, but these things are not important to the military or the government represented by Section Six of the Air Defense Command.
As long as the military can guarantee the normal supply of fluorite materials, they will be satisfied. They will even use this as a condition to protect fluorite at critical moments.
The government is happy to see the influence of TOPS member Huijing Meike decline, as this would at least reduce the threat.
And so the incident ended, with Alice gaining two friends of the same age: Yuzuha and Masato.
In particular, Yuzuki really enjoys teasing Alice, who is timid and has a compulsion for symmetry. However, in the midst of their playful banter, Alice discovers that there seems to be something wrong with her belt.
No matter how she tried, she couldn't take it off, let alone adjust the tightness.
Yuye quickly realized that the strap was stuck after seeing it, and then took out a tool made from a hair clip.
Alice let out a soft "hmm" as she looked at the small tool in Yuzu's hand.
"Is this a hair clip?"
"Yes, this is a hair clip that someone very important to me gave me when I was a child. I have been very lucky ever since I got this hair clip. Later, after using it for a long time, it couldn't hold my hair anymore, so I modified it into what it is now and it has stayed with me ever since."
“I had a pair of these hair clips when I was little,” Alice said. “They were my favorite pair of hair clips, but unfortunately I lost one of them when I went to a research institute with my dad.”
Upon hearing this, Youye paused in her work, but then continued adjusting the buckle as if nothing had happened.
"Really? That's a real shame."
"Yes, it is indeed a pity."
Did you go looking for it back then?
"After I realized I had lost my hair clip, I asked my dad to go back and look for it for me. Unfortunately, that was the last time I saw my dad."
"Why?"
"Because after hearing my request, my father told me to go home first, while he went back to look for the lost hair clip. Then he died in a car accident on his way home."
"I'm sorry... I didn't know about this..."
"It's okay, I've already let it go. But sometimes I can't help but wonder if things would have been different if I hadn't insisted that my dad go find that hairpin?"
"I guess so……"
Yuzu responded to Alice with a somewhat dejected tone, then helped fix the clasp before carefully putting the hair clip away.
He then patted Alice on the back to cheer her up, and then said that he was very tired today and planned to go back and rest well. He promised to take Alice to see the Weaver Girl Land properly tomorrow.
Although she didn't quite understand what Yuzu Leaf meant, Alice still agreed.
"Eh? Okay, okay! I'll look forward to it!"
Afterwards, everyone dispersed, leaving only the people from Yun Kui Shan, the military representatives, and the Sixth Anti-Air Section to discuss follow-up plans against Hui Jing Mei Ke.
Kiana followed Yuzuha when she saw him return to the shop alone, and Yuzuha obviously noticed Kiana following behind her.
She stopped and said, "Aren't you tired after following me for so long, Miss Kiana?"
“I’m still wondering when you’ll find out about me,” Kiana said.
"Come on, you never intended to hide yourself from the start, so how could I not find out? Tell me, what does the famous Kiana Kaslana want with me this time?"
"I'm just wondering if it's really okay for you to keep this from Alice all this time?"
Yu Ye's pupils contracted sharply, then she forced herself to remain calm and said, "I don't know what you're talking about. What do I have to hide?"
"I'm referring to the fact that you were the only remaining test subject in that research institute, and that Alice's father saved you with his own life. Is it really okay to keep this from her?"
Yuzuki pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time before finally asking slowly, "How...did you know? I didn't even tell my father about this, so where did Miss Kiana find out from?"
Yuzuha eventually admitted Kiana's words, but she really couldn't figure out how Kiana had found out about these things that she had hidden in her heart.
Logically speaking, no one should know about these things except for her.
"Well, it took some effort," Kiana said casually. "When I first investigated and found out that the last test subject of that research institute was missing rather than dead, I realized that the test subject had most likely been rescued. So I spent a little more time investigating your relationship with that research institute."
"Then how did you know it was Alice's father who saved me?"
"At first, I was just speculating, after all, Alice's father died in a car accident after leaving that research institute. What made me completely certain of this speculation was your reaction just now."
"Is that so? I thought I had disguised myself very well."
Then Yu Ye took a deep breath and admitted, "That's right, your guess was absolutely correct."
Just then, a soft rustling sound came from behind Kiana. Yuzu looked up and saw Alice covering her mouth with her hands, looking shocked.
