Really? I'm fighting the Dark Emperor.

Chapter 229 Commitment

Rui Bu Si doesn't really like reminiscing about the past.

No matter how many memories you have, they can neither change anything nor bring anything; at most, they will only add some distress to your heart.

Looking at the unfamiliar face and the familiar person in front of her, Rui Busi could no longer recall what it was like when she first met Xu Xingchun.

To reminisce about the past in a somewhat pointless way: they actually knew each other quite early on; when Ruibusi met her, she hadn't even met the elven cult leader yet.

Well, she didn't have a name back then. Later she was called Xu Jinzhao, and she changed her identity countless times in between. Anyway, when we met again, she introduced herself as Xu Xingchun.

It was no surprise that they recognized each other. Just as hundreds of years ago, no matter how many identities Xu Xingchun changed or how different she looked from her original appearance, Rui Busi could recognize her at a glance, so too could Xu Xingchun, even with the system's shielding in between.

Some people don't need to be recognized by sight.

Since Xu Xingchun became the head nurse of the health room, they have only met privately once.

The conversation was brief, mostly Xu Xingchun talking, and there wasn't much to say. The same days repeated themselves countless times, and there was only so much to say; Rui Busi already knew what it was all about without her having to explain.

But I still listened to it all.

If you're afraid of being captured by the Dark Emperor, go find the Quark Clan elders. You should know what to say.

She didn't really want to know why Xu Xingchun had rashly killed several useless minor leaders; since they were already dead, there was nothing more to ask.

It was probably just a whim. In any case, since this whim wasn't targeting the Quark race, seeking their help wouldn't be difficult.

Whether in the past or now, Ruibusi doesn't need her to do anything.

Just stay there quietly, or it's fine if you're not quiet.

However, whether in the past or present, Xu Xingchun always wants to do something and is never willing to stay there.

Would seeking refuge with the Quark Clan be helpful to adults?

Help? Maybe. She couldn't think of any way to help.

They didn't feel they needed any help.

If she had to say what could help her, she would hope that Director Pa would fall seriously ill, just enough to keep him from having the energy to speak.

Of course, she still said—

Yes, there will be.

If she said no, Xu Xingchun wouldn't have obediently listened.

Conversing with Xu Xingchun always gave Rui Busi the illusion that time hadn't brought any changes—no matter what she did, she felt that the person standing in front of her was not much different from when they first met.

They'll lock me up. I don't want to be locked up, and I don't want to never see you again.

I will come to see you.

As a promise, after a pause, Rui Bu Si added: "Don't do anything unnecessary."

However, the child has grown up and is no longer someone who would believe her if she said it was helpful.

Looking at the other person's aggrieved and sullen expression, she felt deeply that no matter how much time had passed or how many names had been changed, the essence remained the same.

"answer."

"Oh," Xu Xingchun replied.

Such serious vocabulary.

The cute knight behind the wall couldn't see the serious expression on Ruibusi's face, but Xu Xingchun could see it clearly—the master was angry.

She also likes it when she's angry.

Although a little scared.

The Moonstone wasn't originally a Quark. Since it doesn't belong to the Quark race, what's wrong with her taking it based on her own abilities?

"You have to prove your worth before you can seek asylum. What's important to you is worthless to me."

She felt a little sad when she talked about it.

She clearly wanted to tell the adult that she could now do many things, but the adult didn't need the Dark Moon Stone.

It now seems that the Haitian Division is no longer needed.

Where is the Haiti Division?

“In a safe place, if the Quark people agree to my conditions and are willing to protect me, I can give it to you.”

After thinking for a moment, just in case she saw you mess something up, she added, "You'd better hurry up. I'll only lift the seal, I won't go down."

She didn't explicitly state the meaning of the threat; she simply presented a fact:

She didn't have the ability to place a seal; she simply used some powerful magical artifact to temporarily block the connection between the Dark Spirit Stone and the Dark Emperor.

But the Dark Emperor is not dead; Heidi still has the instinct to seek his master, and they will eventually make contact.

"okay, I get it."

"Hey," Xu Xingchun called out to Rui Busi, who had already turned around, "Aren't you going to catch up a bit?"

He clearly promised to come see her, so why did he only help that group of quark people ask useless questions?

"We'll talk about it after you leave."

"it is good!"

After Ruibusi left, she felt that Ulala's gaze was somewhat meaningful.

strange.

"Thank you for your help. I will report what Xu Xingchun said to Principal Ous."

"Oh, President Eric is now grateful. He was quite ruthless when he refused back then."

When her gaze inadvertently met that of Mi Yaxing, Rui Busi quietly gave him an OK sign to indicate that she was really alright.

Eric smiled apologetically at her teasing.

Next, Kiki was sent back to the detention cell.

Kiki was clearly unhappy.

Being unwilling is obviously useless.

"See? Nothing will happen to me." She waved to Kiki, who was reluctantly returning to the detention cell, then turned to look at Miya Xing with a hint of criticism.

The other person did not answer, but kept looking at her bare wrists. After realizing that Rui Bu Si was completely unaware, he reached into her pocket and took out a bracelet and put it on her wrist.

"If I'm giving it to you, please wear it carefully."

Oh dear, I forgot to put it back on in time.

If Xu Xingchun really wore it, she'd probably cause a scene.

"Are you angry?"

"Why didn't you say you knew Xu Xingchun before?"

If there was no rebuttal, then she must have been genuinely a little angry.

It's probably because she wasn't wearing a bracelet.

"If I told you, you'd be even less likely to let me see her. You'd probably think we're all acquaintances, and I'd be completely trusting and easily taken advantage of. I'm not that kind of person!"

Intelligent people tend to overthink.

Getting him to agree was already difficult enough, and besides, there's nothing he can do about it if we act first and ask for permission later.

Why did you take off the bracelet?

What if she realizes there's something inside and is wary and unwilling to talk about it?

"Is this your guardedness?"

She grabbed his index finger and shook it: "Mmm."

“Rui Bu Si, I know everyone has their own past and secrets, and I won’t ask too many questions, but this kind of dangerous thing…”

"Very worried?"

Miya Xing pursed her lips and only responded after a long time.

"You should remember this feeling."

"I feel the same way waiting for you."

“That’s different, I…”

"It's the same. And when I promised you I'd be fine, it was because I was sure I really would be fine, while you just gave me a perfunctory answer."

Miya Xing was speechless.

"Fine, I can't argue with you."

He was the one who was angry at first, but now it seems like he's being unreasonable.

The two remained silent for a long time before Rui Busi released his hand and shook her wrist under his questioning gaze.

"I won't pick them anymore, I promise."

Miya Xing paused for a while, then gripped it again: "Okay, I promise too."

"What's the guarantee?"

"I promise I won't just give a perfunctory answer. But," he changed the subject, "if this situation comes up again, I can't deliberately hide it."
