Saving the White Moonlight Chapter 61

Su Qian’er looked at the black pill, which seemed a little ominous. She was doubtful, but also somewhat hopeful. “This pill…”
Yan Zhuguang said, “Miss Su, do not be afraid. This is a spiritual medicine that can make up for your inborn defect.” She kindly explained, “Because your body was born lacking, weak, sickly, and flawed, you could not cultivate. As long as you take this medicine, you will be able to cultivate spells like us.”
Su Qian’er’s eyes brightened. Her expression became extremely excited. She grabbed Yan Zhuguang’s hand with such force that it was like a dying person grasping a life-saving straw. “Miss Yan means that if I eat it, I can cultivate too?”
“That is right.” Yan Zhuguang looked at the hand gripping hers tightly. Su Qian’er seemed burned and quickly withdrew. Yun Mixue moved her gaze away from that same hand, while Yan Zhuguang smiled soothingly at Su Qian’er. “We will not harm you.”
Su Qian’er twisted the edge of her clothes and shook her head. “Miss Yan misunderstood. Qian’er was not doubting my two benefactors. I only heard that I had a chance to cultivate and became too happy. I was rude for a moment.”
She said this very sincerely. She truly was very happy. Being able to cultivate was simply something she had dreamed of.
“Then you are willing to trust us?” Yan Zhuguang said.
Su Qian’er pressed her lips together and nodded hard. “As long as I can cultivate, I am willing to do anything. You two are Qian’er’s lifesavers. You saved my life. How could I not trust you?”
Yan Zhuguang seemed to let out a breath of relief. “It is good that you are willing to believe.” She placed that black pill in Su Qian’er’s palm. “Do not be afraid. We did not come to make you happy for nothing. This is the right spiritual medicine for you. It will definitely repair your inborn defect.”
Yan Zhuguang stressed this to avoid Su Qian’er’s thoughts wavering and going in the wrong direction when she took the medicine. What if the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed repaired something else instead? Would that not be a waste? She did not have extra Heavenly Heart Lotus Seeds for Su Qian’er to waste.
While handing the disguised Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed to Su Qian’er, Yan Zhuguang also carefully watched the system inventory, observing the condition of the other two Heavenly Heart Lotus Seeds inside.
On the way here, Yan Zhuguang had worried about the system inventory’s time-stopping effect and wanted to move the two Heavenly Heart Lotus Seeds into her storage ring, making it easier to observe the Wall-Wind Formation’s reaction when it opened.
But the system had stopped her. It patted its chest and said the inventory was very smart. If outside energy had a connection to something inside the inventory, even if time was stopped, the way it changed would still be shown.
Since the system said so, Yan Zhuguang chose to trust it. Now that she had skipped the step of moving the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seeds, all that remained was to watch the Wall-Wind Formation’s reaction.
Normally, after handing the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed to Su Qian’er, the Wall-Wind Formation would break completely. Only after the Wall-Wind Formation’s power vanished and released the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed’s power could the seed take effect.
After Yan Zhuguang handed the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed to Su Qian’er, the two lotus seeds in her inventory suddenly shone brightly, as if releasing all the Wall-Wind Formation’s power. In the next moment, the formation light went out.
The Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed in Su Qian’er’s hand should have shown the same thing. But because Yan Zhuguang had placed an illusion spell on it, then added another spell as insurance the moment the seed left her hand, Su Qian’er, who had no cultivation or spiritual energy, sensed nothing strange.
As for Yun Mixue, because her strength was high enough to easily see through Yan Zhuguang’s illusion spell, she also saw the strange change in that lotus seed.
This should mean the Wall-Wind Formation’s power had been broken?
This should have been normal. Yun Mixue did not find it strange, but Yan Zhuguang felt something was wrong.
According to her guess, this Su Qian’er should not be the original Su Qian’er. Why had the Wall-Wind Formation vanished so cleanly? Could she have guessed wrong, and Su Qian’er truly was the original owner?
Or had this Su Qian’er’s soul already fully matched the original Su Qian’er’s body, to the point that even the heavenly Dao could not judge it?
While Yan Zhuguang could not understand it, something changed.
Su Qian’er stared at the pill in her hand, tangled in her heart and hesitating over whether to eat it or not. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seeds in Yan Zhuguang’s inventory suddenly lit again.
The Wall-Wind Formation energy that had already vanished had returned.
Yun Mixue, who had just relaxed a little, was dazzled by the energy light of the lotus seed in Su Qian’er’s hand. What was going on? Could formation energy that had already vanished come back again?
Yun Mixue and Yan Zhuguang quietly looked at each other, and both saw confusion in the other’s eyes.
Only Su Qian’er, who was tangled inside, noticed nothing. While she hesitated, the Wall-Wind Formation on the Heavenly Heart Lotus Seed gathered and scattered, brightened and dimmed, over and over again. It nearly blinded Yan Zhuguang and Yun Mixue.
Yan Zhuguang suspected that if it kept flashing like this, her illusion spell might not be able to hold. The superiors above the systems were not all the same, and each had a different personality.
Yan Zhuguang shook her head inwardly. The system was always like this. At critical moments, it was unreliable.
With a little concern for the system, Yan Zhuguang turned her attention back to Su Qian’er.
After Yun Mixue told her that Su Qian’er’s soul had a problem, Yan Zhuguang, whose current realm should not have been able to touch the soul level, used a spell to let herself see Su Qian’er’s soul.
This spell consumed a great amount of mental strength. Yan Zhuguang only glanced briefly before stopping it.
She finally understood why Yun Mixue had discovered so many abnormalities but had not suspected Su Qian’er. Su Qian’er’s current soul actually looked exactly the same as this body.
Yan Zhuguang pinched her palm to calm the mental strain that had been consumed too quickly and recalled what she had seen.
Su Qian’er’s soul indeed did not fully match the body, but the differences were only tiny. Although the body showed a slight rejection, it was only a little. Once the soul fully adapted, Su Qian’er’s soul and body would fit tightly again.
Could it be that she had thought too much, and Su Qian’er really was the original Su Qian’er?
“Host! I am back!”
Just as Yan Zhuguang was doubting herself, the system’s voice sounded in her sea of consciousness. Yan Zhuguang pretended not to have noticed. “Back? Where did you go?”
“Huh?” The system sounded as if it had gone on a long journey. Hearing Yan Zhuguang, it sounded disappointed too. “Host did not notice I was gone?”
Yan Zhuguang teased it for a moment before saying, “I noticed. I am asking where you went.” At this time, Yan Zhuguang had thought communication open, so the system also realized Yan Zhuguang had deliberately teased it earlier.
“Host, you are so mean,” the system could not help saying.
However, a host as calm and steady as this one remembering it still made it very happy. This proved Host did not completely ignore it. It was still useful to Host.
“I was urgently called over by the higher-ups just now,” the system said. “They said that in the report records I sent back, they detected a strange energy fluctuation, so they called me back for a temporary meeting.”
“What energy fluctuation?” Yan Zhuguang knew about the report records. Every so often, the system would report work logs upward. They did not involve the host, only records of the system’s operation.
“A time-space energy!” the system said. “Because the fluctuation was too tiny, the analyzer mounted on the system did not analyze it, but the higher-ups did. It was time-space energy from this space. Someone from this time and space has been reborn.”
“Su Qian’er? A Su Qian’er from a later timeline was reborn into the present?”
“Eh? Host guessed it?” The system was not very surprised. “Did Host not suspect Su Qian’er had a problem? This should be the reason.”
Yan Zhuguang frowned and shook her head inwardly. “No. It does not make sense. There must still be a problem here.” She did not even know her own name. How could she be the original Su Qian’er?
“Uh…” The system scratched its head. “But after testing, it has been confirmed that she was reborn. Maybe something went wrong when she was reborn, and she lost her memory?”
Yan Zhuguang did not agree or disagree. Forget it. In any case, the medicine had already been given. She only needed to guard against Su Qian’er. Whoever she was did not matter.
