Collapse Iron Live Broadcast Connects All Worlds, Scares Wuzhan Away at the Beginning Chapter 091

「“If you had given the Stellaron Hunter to me earlier, we wouldn’t have this trouble. What were you thinking?” Saying this, Fu Xuan suddenly paused, realizing something, “Jing Yuan! Don’t tell me… did you intentionally let them escape?!”」

「“Me? How could I be as prescient as Fu Qing? The Cloud Knights were negligent in their duties, I am responsible.”」

「Just from that tone and expression, Fu Xuan was already certain in her heart that this Blade was deliberately released by Jing Yuan!」

「However, she didn’t expose him, but instead seized the opportunity.」

「“Hmph, I can understand, the affairs of the Xianzhou are complicated, it’s inevitable that your energy is lacking, if it weren’t for me holding things up… speaking of which, at the next Six Lords Commission meeting, you should fulfill your promise to recommend me as your successor…”」

「“Yes, yes, yes, okay, okay, I understand, I have important matters to attend to. Afterwards, I’ll leave everything to the ‘exceptionally talented’ Fu Qing.”」

「Feeling the perfunctory attitude almost overflowing from the screen, Fu Xuan puffed out her cheeks slightly in dissatisfaction and hung up the communication with a “snap”.」

“Prescience…” Yuta Okkotsu precisely captured these four words from Jing Yuan’s words, repeating them in disbelief, “Prescience, could this also be the power of the Hunt Aeon?”

“Unlikely.” Mei Mei brushed aside the white braid blocking her face, opening one eye, “If the Xianzhou people could truly achieve prescience, then they should be able to avoid the Stellaron crisis in advance.”

“…Since they didn’t avoid it, it means ‘prescience’ has conditions – and the conditions are quite harsh.”

Mei Mei paused, then continued, “And I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but that pink-haired girl is a little different from the other Xianzhou people.”

“Different? Uh… is it her figure?” Utahime Iori pondered slightly, that little girl’s height was insufficient, and certain conspicuous areas were also severely lacking, forming a sad contrast with Yukong and Tingyun who had already appeared.

“…”

Atsuya Kusakabe rolled his eyes speechlessly, he slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and tapped his forehead with his index finger, “Are you referring to the eye here?”

“Very observant.” Mei Mei gave Atsuya a smile as if in praise.

“Jing Yuan said she is exceptionally talented… it might not just be praise, but also stating a fact. If she truly possesses the ability of prescience, it’s probably inseparable from the eye on her forehead.”

“That thing should also be related to the Aeons.” Atsuya Kusakabe showed an envious expression, “If we had that eye, we wouldn’t have to fear Sukuna anymore.”

“Not necessarily.” Yuta Okkotsu shook his head, “Gojo-sensei’s Six Eyes can accurately perceive the flow of cursed energy, although it’s not direct ‘future prediction’, he can predict the opponent’s next action by analyzing changes in cursed energy, which is a simplified prediction effect.”

“Fighting Sukuna, the difficulty isn’t in ‘predicting’ his actions and behavior, but in that even if you know what he’s going to do… it’s difficult to deal with.”

“Instead of envying Miss Fu’s ability of prescience, I think General Jing Yuan’s Divine General is more reliable.”

Yuta Okkotsu smiled wistfully, “That strike even Jingliu couldn’t avoid, if it could hit Sukuna head-on… we wouldn’t have to be here making plans, right?”

——

「“General, Fu Taibu wants to take your position, it’s common knowledge.” Yanqing said from the side.」

「“She is very capable, but her mind still needs to be tempered, when she wears away that straightforward temper, I might consider retiring.” Jing Yuan’s words revealed a hint of helplessness.」

「Seeing that his master’s heart was filled with unresolved knots, Yanqing stepped forward and volunteered, “If someone escapes, we just need to catch them again. With the General’s order, I, Yanqing, will immediately solve your problems.”」

「“I know you’re anxious, but now is not the time, if you want to obtain the title of Sword Champion, you cannot act rashly, especially not engage in combat with serious criminals.” Jing Yuan knew that Yanqing was exceptionally talented and proud, shaking his head in refusal.」

「But this aroused Yanqing’s competitive spirit even more, “Does the General think I will lose to that Blade?”」

「“I want you to be patient, Yanqing. The Xianzhou’s peace is different from swordsmanship, gradual progress is the key to success. There is a doubt… the Stellaron, how did it evade scrutiny, bypass the inspection of the Sky-Faring Commission and the deductions of the Divination Commission, and where was it placed?”」

「“I think the fastest way is to capture the two Stellaron Hunters and send them to Fu Taibu for interrogation.”」

「“I have already entrusted this matter to the guests on the Astral Express, there’s no rush. Yanqing, you are the person I trust the most, there are some things that I can only entrust to you. Yanqing, there’s a task…”」

「Jing Yuan spoke, only to find that there was no movement beside him, and when he turned around, Yanqing was already gone.」

「“Ah, this child… it’s my fault, it’s inevitable that a young man who has stayed at home for too long will cause some trouble. I’m afraid that this time the setbacks he will suffer will be greater than his youthful arrogance…”」

“I like this child’s temperament.”

Serie’s gaze lingered for a long time in the direction Yanqing left, also being a teacher, a disciple like Yanqing was simply invaluable.

To her, talent might be important – but whether a person can reach a higher realm completely depends on their mentality and character.

What displeased her slightly was that few of her disciples dared to challenge her, even Lyle, a skilled First-Class Mage, had not had the idea of fighting her in the decades he had followed her.

She likes people with desire. Desire determines a person’s upper limit… without desire, in Serie’s eyes, it’s like a stagnant pool.

This is also why she admires Denken and made him a First-Class Mage. There is still desire in his eyes, even though he is no longer young, he still has an upper limit that has not yet been reached.

And Yanqing’s desire to prove himself made her quite satisfied.

“What a perfect disciple, and a long-lived species… probably with thousands of years of life?” Serie sighed regretfully, if she could open a passage between the two worlds, she would really like to bring Yanqing over to teach him magic.

“Serie-sama, I have a question.” Zenz quietly spoke from the side, “That Blade looks like he has killed countless people… isn’t Jing Yuan afraid that his disciple will be lost in his hands?”

“Lost?” Serie seemed to have heard a bad joke, with a hint of strangeness in her eyes.

“If he were to die at Blade’s hands, then he would not be a genius at all, nor would he be valued by Jing Yuan and become his attendant.”

“Just like you… Zenz, if you were just an ordinary mage who knew a little magic, then you would not be qualified to enter this hall, understand?”
