"Oh! I see now!"
Miss Hua'an's eyes widened; having traveled extensively, she somewhat understood what Ian was getting at. The Frost Butterfly also nodded frequently, though it was unclear whether it truly understood: "I see now!"
"Yes,"
Ian lowered his voice again, allowing the wind's Source Quality Fluctuation at his side to draw slightly nearer: "Although Yisen himself is a good kid, his mother may not be... The operation organized by Fiery Flame Land this time is obviously fishy. It might have been lured here by someone or some message, all to 'buff my achievements'."
"The Earth Pulse Source Crystal might not be what I thought it was—an Ordinary but secret-message-containing treasure... It is a precious treasure, just not part of this train's crew! Someone used fake information to lure Fiery Flame Land into the trap, which could both give the credit to me and ensure the treasure's safe arrival in the Imperial Capital; killing two birds with one stone."
