Starting from a Magical Girl, Dominating Eternity-Chapter 96 - 39: The Performance of the Mecha Depends on the Pilot

Chapter 96: Chapter 39: The Performance of the Mecha Depends on the Pilot

"Have you seen enough?"

A cold voice echoed, causing Keke’s heart to skip a beat and her body to tense up.

It was much like the fear of being caught cheating on a test by the exam supervisor.

Though they thought they were keeping a decent distance, it was not surprising that someone like Zi Yuan would notice they were being watched... 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Only Yin Lian stepped forward, blocking the others, and bravely faced Zi Yuan’s gaze, "We were only concerned about Jiang Si’s safety."

"Interrupting someone’s date."

Zi Yuan tilted her head slightly, the mere action making Yin Lian take a step back, but as the captain of the Magic Combat Team, she still stubbornly held her head high, refusing to bow.

"Don’t you think you’re being excessive?"

Faced with Zi Yuan’s question, a few girls looked away, somewhat embarrassed.

Being girls themselves, they could somewhat guess how infuriated one would be if their date was disturbed.

Especially Peony, who dared not raise her head.

Throughout, they hadn’t actually interfered—although they had previously wanted to disturb, ultimately they hadn’t dared...

Probably wouldn’t really resort to violence, right?

"So we just watched without approaching," Yin Lian argued, "Your Cyan Cloud Sect boasts as the leader of the righteous path, you wouldn’t dismiss basic reason."

Actually, the one controlling the Zi Yuan Puppet now wasn’t Jiang Si, it was Bingtang.

After the date ended, Jiang Si simply left—even though his injuries weren’t severe, he planned on resting early.

Having injured himself like that, and watching from the puppet’s perspective, the Cyan Cloud Sect disciples marveled at the Sect Leader’s ruthlessness, sparing no mercy...

Having already won control over the puppet, Bingtang naturally took over after Jiang Si left.

Ready to complete the planned mission.

She practiced many times in front of the mirror yesterday, mimicking Zi Yuan’s expressions wasn’t hard.

Especially since Zi Yuan kept a cold poker face most of the time, making disguise quite simple.

"The date was quite pleasant."

The puppet maintained its usual indifferent tone, "I won’t hold your troubles against you."

Peony instantly beamed, "Cyan Cloud Sect’s leader is indeed magnanimous, worthy of Beihai’s righteous path leader’s name."

Beside her, Yin Lian also breathed a sigh of relief but immediately shot Peony a glare, silencing her teammate.

The others also relaxed to varying degrees.

Actually, Susan, though knowing she was a Cyan Cloud Sect disciple and that Zi Yuan wouldn’t really harm her, felt guilty for wanting to interfere with the date.

"If you dare follow Jiang Si again, don’t blame me for being merciless."

Upon hearing this, Peony nodded frantically, "Of course, of course, knowing Jiang Si has Cyan Cloud Sect backing, we feel relieved, just worried about him being manipulated by the Witch Association. Please rest assured, Miss Zi Yuan."

"He has no ties with the Cyan Cloud Sect," the puppet said slowly, "Just a personal connection with me."

"Understood."

Susan, initially feeling guilty, resumed her serious demeanor, asking, "You came all the way here just to say this?"

She couldn’t contact the Cyan Cloud Sect now; it was an opportunity.

What was the next step?

Yet Zi Yuan didn’t even glance at her, only looking at Yin Lian and Peony:

"You said Jiang Si is suspected of colluding with the Witch Association, but in my view, you also have suspicions of collusion."

The suffocating tension spread again.

Now even Yin Lian felt a bit uneasy.

Because the tone and phrasing were indeed far too much like Zi Yuan wanting revenge for them attracting Jiang Si’s ire.

The puppet tilted its head, purple hair flowing over shoulders like water, "Even for Beihai City’s future stability, I hope you’ll quickly clear out the Witch Association members in your midst."

With that, her gaze shifted to Yin Luo among the five.

Subconsciously adjusting her glasses, Yin Luo asked, "Do you have evidence? The Disaster Strategy Bureau isn’t Cyan Cloud Sect; we can’t act freely. We need solid evidence to apprehend anyone."

"You need to reassess your position."

The puppet’s tone was utterly flat, "We aren’t obligated to provide evidence for you. The Witch Association infiltrating the Disaster Strategy Bureau is your problem. Find the evidence yourselves."

Yin Luo pursed her lips, remaining silent.

Beside her, Susan’s expression was grim, but internally it all clicked.

Cyan Cloud Sect lacked definitive evidence; they needed her help to gather more.

If they couldn’t obtain evidence of Witch Association members, Cyan Cloud Sect would lose justification for a kill, and if Beihai Disaster Strategy Bureau reported to headquarters, it’d complicate matters greatly.

Their target was the Miracle Seed, and Bingtang had discussed the full plan, letting Witch Association members send out Miracle Seed and then snatching it from them.

Turning Miracle Seed’s loss into a muddled account.

Was indeed her mission.

Now, finding evidence of Witch Association members was added, suggesting the sect was ready to strike...

Having pinpointed Witch Association members’ identities, this task wasn’t too hard.

With her gaze settling on Yin Luo, Susan spoke up, "Certainly we’ll thoroughly investigate the Disaster Strategy Bureau and search out Witch Association members, even digging deep. Disaster Strategy Bureau won’t spare any Witch Association members! On this front, we align with your Cyan Cloud Sect’s views."
