The room was completely silent, as if time had stood still. Qian Cheng stared at Ai Yu, who, in turn, looked down at her hands, her eyes revealing a firmness and determination.
"If sacrifice is unavoidable, shouldn't you be thinking about how to minimize it?" Ai Yu's voice trembled slightly, yet it was full of strength. She bit her lip and continued.
"Since I possess such power, how could I choose to escape? Teacher Li taught us that the Moon Envoy's mission is to protect ordinary people. If I don't rush into the tiger's den and try to force Lanling to withdraw, how long will this war last? How many innocent families will be shattered, and how many wives and children will be separated?"
Ai Yu's words rang like a warning bell in Qian Cheng's heart, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Yes, as Moon Envoys, they shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting the world; this was their mission.
Ai Yu took a deep breath and looked straight at Qian Cheng. "Brother, it's not that I don't value my own safety, but there are hundreds of millions of ordinary people behind us who need our protection."
After saying this, Ai Yu's shoulders trembled slightly.
Qian Cheng exhaled, slapped his thigh, and said in a muffled voice, "Alright, I get it. Of course I understand these principles. My original intention just now was to persuade you not to be so radical and take your own life seriously. Ai Yu, I hope you can understand that you are my family."
He looked at Ai Yu sincerely. The latter was stunned for a moment, turned his head away, and replied softly, "Yeah."

After the Star Beasts retreated, Ling Shuangxi, Hua Jianzui, and others represented Qimen and communicated with the relevant departments to begin repairing the various defense lines. Life gradually returned to its former tranquility.
The Ji Palace existed in name only, though some students were still diligently studying there. However, the majority of the area had become Ouyang Mingyuan's experimental base.
During his occasional tea breaks, Ouyang Mingyuan habitually searched for the figures of his former colleagues within his sight. Suddenly realizing that he had left forever, he sighed and continued his experiment.
At this time, a message from Ai Yu came from the bracelet. Ouyang Mingyuan clicked it and saw that it was several large documents.
After reading through them one by one, Ouyang Mingyuan asked Ai Yu in confusion, "Where did you get this information? Is it authentic?"
"Baozhen, you can now use Xiao 7 (a supercomputer developed mainly by Qimen, with powerful functions and top-notch computing power) with personal permissions, right, Teacher Ouyang? I would like to invite you to study these things with Xiao 7." After saying this, Ai Yu passed a lot of things over.
"There's another package, please remember to pick it up. The courier is Sun Wukong."
When Ouyang Mingyuan saw the last three words, his eyebrows twitched. Is this how you can jump ten thousand miles with one somersault?
He was still daydreaming when the doorbell rang.
When I opened it, it was Sun Wukong, standing on his somersault cloud with a look of dissatisfaction on his face: "Idiot, your package has arrived."
Ouyang Mingyuan silently raised his hand in protest: "Brother Monkey, can you please stop calling me an idiot?"
Everyone knows that this is how Sun Wukong calls Zhu Bajie.
Sun Wukong made a "huh" sound, threw the thing down and disappeared.
Ouyang Mingyuan suppressed his other thoughts and carefully opened the package, his heart filled with curiosity and anticipation. When he saw the mysterious object revealed in the package, his eyes showed surprise and confusion.
This object emitted a strange light, had a strange shape, and was made of a material different from anything he had ever come into contact with.
Ouyang Mingyuan put on protective gloves, gently took out a small part of it and placed it on the laboratory table.
Laboratory research work began immediately, and he used various advanced scientific instruments to analyze it.
Under a microscope, the surface of this thing shows subtle lines and structures, as if it contains endless secrets.
Ouyang Mingyuan adjusted his glasses and recorded every bit of data, trying to decipher this mysterious visitor. His brows sometimes furrowed, sometimes relaxed, as if he were engaging in a silent conversation with the object.
As his observations continued, Ouyang Mingyuan gradually unraveled the mystery of the object and gained a deeper understanding of its composition and properties.
Ouyang Mingyuan's curiosity about this mysterious object grew, and he was determined to uncover all its secrets. So he continued his in-depth research.
After several sleepless nights of hard work, Ouyang Mingyuan finally found a clue to the mystery. He noticed that the object seemed to have a special energy that could affect the surrounding temperature and air flow.
He began to try various methods to examine the source and function of this energy.
Through several experiments, Ouyang Mingyuan gradually discovered the difference of this object. He found that it seemed to be able to communicate with the human brain in a special way, triggering some unprecedented thoughts and emotions.
Ouyang Mingyuan began to realize that there might be something more profound hidden behind this object.
So, he decided to turn his research focus to this direction, hoping to uncover the truth of this mystery. Ouyang Mingyuan invested all his energy and thoughts, constantly exploring the secrets of this mysterious object.
As time went on, Ouyang Mingyuan continued to make some important discoveries and breakthroughs.
During the time that Ouyang Mingyuan was in seclusion, not many significant changes occurred in the outside world.
Ai Yu was busy running between two things. On the one hand, she was concentrating on collecting various precious information for Ouyang Mingyuan; on the other hand, she was skillfully dealing with Lan Ling.
Whenever facing Lanling, Ai Yu always spoke eloquently and incessantly, but most of his words were nonsense.
Lan Ling, however, remained calm, quietly listening to Ai Yu's long speech, and then casually said, "Haven't you received that melody yet?"
At this moment, Ai Yu would immediately straighten his body, shake his head respectfully and say, "I haven't received it yet."
Lan Ling rolled his eyes helplessly upon seeing this, and said with a slightly dissatisfied tone, "You should be thankful that I still have the leisure time to wait."
While Ouyang Mingyuan was immersed in studying what Lan Ling provided, Lan Ling's men were also busy conducting in-depth research on the blood samples of Ai Yu and others.
As a result, the two sides seem to be caught in a protracted tug-of-war, and neither side is willing to give in easily.
Ai Yu understood that this seemingly delicate balance could not last long, but she had to buy time for the Moon Messengers to recuperate and time for Ling Shuangxi and the others to formulate a strategy.
In this way, even if Lanling and I go to look for the law beast, we don’t have to worry too much about home.
The music in the cafe is soothing and relaxing, which makes people relax unconsciously.
Lan Ling didn't know what he was thinking about. He sighed and said, "Ai Yu, this is the second time I remind you that time is running out."
