Silver Wolf no longer paid attention to the people around Stelle and turned her gaze back to Sparkle, asking directly.
"Sparkle, what exactly did you do in Muyun City?"
"Hey, hey, hey—is this your attitude when asking for a favor? That's way too insincere!"
"Then I'm truly sorry, because I have no intention of asking you for anything."
The conversation between the two wasn't exactly confrontational, but it certainly wasn't pleasant.
And at a time like this, it was Stelle's turn to step up and move the plot forward.
"Silver Wolf, is there something you want to tell me?"
"Yes, there is indeed something."
Silver Wolf nodded slightly, her gaze discreetly sweeping over Yunli and Mo Xin before finally landing on the camera in the corner of the ceiling.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, she lightly tapped the back of her hand.
In an instant, the light on the camera dimmed.
And a confused Mo Xin blurted out a question.
"What are you doing?"
"Oh, don't overthink it. I'm just avoiding unnecessary trouble and hacked the surveillance here while I was at it."
Silver Wolf's tone was as relaxed as if she were asking, "What's for dinner?" Her face remained expressionless, as if she had just done something trivial.
But the surprise it brought to Mo Xin was not small at all.
This was her first time seeing this "Hacker Supernatural Ability" with her own eyes, but Silver Wolf's nonchalant manner made this incredibly impressive feat seem as casual as throwing away trash.
Thinking this, she subconsciously looked at the indoor surveillance and found that the indicator light, which had been on, had indeed gone out.
Mo Xin's mouth hung open slightly, her face full of disbelief.
"Ah, is hacking really that simple? Just two taps and it's done?"
Silver Wolf (ᗜ ˰ ᗜ): "No, I used a holographic projection to come here and talk, and you weren't that surprised. Yet, me casually tapping twice to hack a camera surprises you?"
After being unable to resist complaining, Silver Wolf stopped looking at the blushing Mo Xin.
She returned to the main topic.
"Partner, given the current situation in Muyun City, you have roughly three choices."
"Is there really no fourth option?"
"Stop messing around. Be serious."
"Alright... then can I choose none of them?"
Silver Wolf: (ᗜ ˰ ᗜ)
"Which three?"
Seeing the other's expression, Stelle scratched her head awkwardly, putting away her previous casualness, her expression finally becoming a bit more serious.
Seeing this, Silver Wolf nodded slightly.
She slowly raised her right hand and extended her index finger.
"First, keep a low profile for a while, or rather, just hide.
Of course, I don't actually recommend this."
"What's the next one?"
Then, Silver Wolf slowly extended her middle finger.
"Second, take this time to quickly leave Muyun City. That way, you won't be caught in the disaster, and you can at least save your life."
As soon as these words fell, Mo Xin was the first to lose her cool. Regardless of the consequences, she hurriedly spoke up to ask.
"Wait, what do you mean, leave Muyun City and hurry to escape? Why do we have to leave here specifically?"
For some reason, Mo Xin had an ominous premonition, and her brow furrowed unconsciously.
Although Sparkle seemed to have hinted before that a major event would happen in Muyun City, she hadn't paid much attention then. But now, this unease coiled around her heart like a vine, making her restless.
These questions happened to voice the thoughts of Stelle and Yunli.
Silver Wolf glanced at the slender girl and spoke in a calm tone.
"Because Muyun City will soon become unsafe."
Silver Wolf looked at Mo Xin's nervous and uneasy appearance and eventually suppressed the thought of telling the truth.
The prophecy of Muyun City's possible destruction was too heavy; there was no need to scare the young girl now.
Anyway, Stelle would definitely remind her afterward, so it was better to let her be the "messenger."
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to elaborate, Mo Xin felt as if her heart was blocked by a ball of cotton. That inexplicable unease, far from dissipating, grew heavier and heavier.
She asked several times, but the other party remained silent, refusing to reveal even a bit of information.
Seeing that the other party consistently refused to speak, Mo Xin vaguely understood something—some things were perhaps not meant for her to know.
She pursed her lips, stopped asking, and silently turned to push open the door and walk out, leaving the space to Stelle and Silver Wolf.
"Mo Xin?!" Stelle didn't expect her to leave suddenly and called out instinctively.
Yunli reached out to stop Stelle, who was about to chase after her, and nodded slightly to her, indicating that she needn't worry. Then she turned and quickly followed Mo Xin, intending to look after her Disciple.
"This is for the best. After all, this news is indeed too heavy for her."
Stelle looked in the direction Mo Xin had left, listened to Silver Wolf's words, and her lips moved, but she ultimately didn't deny it.
Then, her golden eyes stared intently at Silver Wolf, her expression incredibly serious.
Stelle also completely understood now—something massive had definitely happened in Muyun City.
"So what exactly is the situation?"
Her voice carried a hint of imperceptible urgency.
Once the outsiders had left, Silver Wolf didn't bother beating around the bush anymore.
She straightforwardly told Stelle the prophecy that Muyun City would be destroyed in the future, without any concealment.
After Stelle finished listening, she fell into a temporary silence, her golden eyes churning with shock and disbelief.
"This future..."
Probably having guessed her thoughts, Silver Wolf directly threw out a conclusion.
"It's similar to the Script. The established ending seems to have been long decided. What can be changed is only how good or bad the process is."
She crossed her arms, her tone indifferent, as if she were talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
And Stelle quickly understood Silver Wolf's meaning.
She just didn't expect that not long after she was "born," she would run into this kind of trouble again.
While Stelle was looking down in thought, Silver Wolf shifted her gaze from Stelle to Sparkle.
"Asking other questions is useless; you definitely won't tell the truth.
Then let me ask you, why did you specifically go to Canglan Capital a while ago? You can at least answer this, right?"
This time, Sparkle wasn't in a hurry to retort like usual. Instead, she rested her chin on one hand and pondered seriously for a moment before speaking slowly.
"It should be considered going to get a Pledge of Loyalty. As for anything more, that's a no-go."
After saying this, she deliberately winked, with a "that's all I'm saying" look.
Silver Wolf nodded, not asking further.
Just then, Stelle finally raised her head, a firm light burning in her golden eyes, clearly having made a decision.
"The third choice, you should be clear about it without me saying.
In any case, no matter which path you choose, Firefly and I will respect your decision."
Stelle nodded heavily, her tone firm.
Stelle (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧: "Is there even a need to ask? A hero can't run away from battle!"
Silver Wolf (๑ᗜ ‿ ᗜ๑): "Just like always."
Sparkle (ಡωಡ): "Ara, I thought Little Gray Hair, you would choose the second one?"
Stelle (⌐■‿■): "Don't say that. At the very beginning, I actually really wanted to choose the second one."
