Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 1112 - 148 Temporarily Interrupted Song_2

"But..." Blanchi bit her lip, then answered.

"But they are all real faces, their hardships and frustrations are genuine. How can I stand by? As a Songstress, shouldn’t I speak up for them?"

"Indeed, their fate, their lives, are real, and similar situations exist throughout the Federation." Chi Wanxin continued.

"Countless laughter and tears occur in this world, all true, every single one real. But reality does not mean entirety; do you intend to save every person who sheds a tear?"

"You’re not God, and even God cannot make everyone happy and joyful."

"We are only Songstresses, with limited abilities. We’re not emperors possessing ultimate power; even if we appeal for change, many things remain hard to alter."

"Difficult only means there’s hope, right? Since there’s hope, why give up?" Blanchi retorted.

"You..." Looking at the innocent and pure eyes before her, Chi Wanxin struggled to find words.

She silently thought, "You don’t know how many interests one must touch, how many people to offend, how much contempt and attack one must face when pursuing such a cause."

"You’re so young, always simplifying things," Chi Wanxin said coldly.

"Today I brought you here for verbal reminders and education, but next time, what you face won’t be a kind senior like me."

"Do you think you’re a nobody? As a Songstress watched by countless people, do you think others can’t see your ideas and impulses?"

"If you truly had intelligence and strength, you wouldn’t expose your thoughts and goals so easily."

"Simple and naive, immature and foolish, it’s as if you’re begging to be misled and dragged into a wrong path. You don’t truly believe the Court of Judgment is only protecting Songstresses, do you?"

"I can tell you, ten Songstresses have historically died within the Court of Judgment, all accused of betraying the country and ripping apart the Federation."

Chi Wanxin’s cold words made Blanchi’s face turn pale, as countless images and thoughts surfaced in her mind.

"Do you realize how dangerous your situation is, now just a step away from the cliff?" Seeing Blanchi’s fear, Chi Wanxin softened her tone slightly.

"But it’s not entirely hopeless; in the coming years, you will stay in the Central Star Domain, where the environment is comfortable and mild. You can exchange and learn with other Songstresses, avoiding heavy thoughts, and focus your energy on enhancing your abilities."

"I think, in a few more years, as you mature, things will improve significantly." Chi Wanxin gently advised.

"But... but..." Blanchi bowed her head, fingers clutching the fabric of her skirt, struggling inwardly.

"Don’t overthink; even in the Central Star Domain, you can voice and act for everyone. Learn more about the Federal Congress’s procedures, and you can contribute effectively to future changes." Chi Wanxin walked beside Blanchi, softly comforting her.

Once Blanchi calmed down, Chi Wanxin invited her to lunch together. After a brief rest in the afternoon, they boarded a cruise under the river bay, enjoyed river views, and occasionally, Chi Wanxin played a few pipa tunes, drawing admiration and envy from Blanchi.

In the following weeks, Chi Wanxin accompanied Blanchi all over the Bay Valley Star Region for leisure, helping her forget about those burdensome matters.

A month later, Blanchi bid farewell to Chi Wanxin, accepted her advice, and headed to the Central Star Domain to continue learning, gradually expanding her social circle within the Songstress realm.

Meanwhile, major mining areas in the Shattered Stone Star Domain underwent reform and reconstruction. ’Vels’ Mineral Company announced the transfer of assets in this star domain, selling them separately to more than ten local peer enterprises, earning considerable praise.

On the other side, several individuals familiar to Blanchi during her tour in the Northwest Star Domain received inquiries from the Court of Judgment.

"Please come with us, Mr. Moxun."

Awoken in the morning by a knock on the door, the bespectacled young man opened it to find four members of the Court of Judgment in dark blue uniforms, looking at him with sharp eyes, showing him a projection subpoena and the accompanying key proof.

Moxun could only smile bitterly before extending his hands, accepting the detention investigation.

Resist? That’s impossible; not to mention how he could fight these four elite inspectors alone, the knowledge he gained was that if there were four open inspectors, there would be more plainclothes personnel hidden nearby.

Despite his cautious steps to avoid the Court of Judgment’s observation and eavesdropping, he was still noticed. It turned out he was thinking too simplistically, just wishing Yade was safe.

Considering today’s events, Moxun had mentally prepared himself, knowing that Songstresses are always accompanied by Court of Judgment personnel, and anyone close to them may enter their radar, facing concern and capture risks.

Not just Moxun; many individuals Blanchi contacted during these months in the Northwestern Star Domain underwent investigation by the Court of Judgment, with some arrested and detained, awaiting further handling—all unbeknownst to Blanchi due to the monitored and blocked communication channels.

"Damn it."

In a hidden refuge, a black-haired youth pounded the wall with his fist, creating several cracks.

"Calm down, Yade, it’s not your fault; we just underestimated the Court of Judgment," comforted a shorter companion beside him. Besides the two, there were seven others present, mostly aged between 20 to 30 years old.

"A notice from above has arrived, advising us to hide well during this period, avoid going out, and if there’s regular work, maintain normalcy in life without revealing unusual behavior," said a tall, slightly sturdy man with a scholarly air.

"Our contact with Songstresses drew considerable attention, especially from the Court of Judgment, who must be investigating us now."

"I’ve devised a special signal chart; set your personal communicators to send a message at intervals. If we miss a message someday, we’ll assume you’ve been compromised."

"Sounds good, but won’t such messages expose each other’s coordinates, resulting in one getting caught and everyone captured?"

"No, there’s a buffering intermediary device, making it difficult for them to trace the final intended target."

"If that’s the case, I’m relieved."

In the following hours, everyone discussed the pros and cons of this contact and prepared for future endeavors.

"What do we do now that the Court of Judgment is aware of us?"

"Daring rescue is nearly impossible."

"Or perhaps we acted too hastily."

"The road is long and distant, take it step by step, first gather more allies, connect with more resistance, that’s our path forward."

...

At the year’s end, Blanchi returned to the Central Star Domain, while Tilan spent a remarkable New Year with Deloris in Qianliu City.

This new city attracted millions over the years, swiftly ranking among the top ten cities in the northern wilderness of the Jade Skirt, competing only with a few major cities from the North Star District’s past revival.

Sitting in the VIP audience section, Tilan watched the New Year gala hosted in Qianliu City, where tradition and trend blended, creating a lively atmosphere. Jielou City’s new generation quickly adapted to fashion-forward matters, old-fashioned views faded, and the city exuded some indescribable vitality and vigor.

Everything is improving; perhaps when their children are born, they may once again behold a verdant ’Jade Skirt.’
