Chapter 99.2 : The Mist (Part 2)
!!!!
Su Yushang's expression suddenly stiffened, her pupils contracting violently!
Why was her mother called Qianqiu Xue?
Wasn't her mother named…?
Su Yushang's pupils abruptly dilated.
No—her mother had always been called Qianqiu Xue…
Then why was it that, when she had just seen the name Qianqiu Yue in the diary, she hadn't made the connection immediately?
Combining the strange realization she was having right now with the earlier scene—when she tried to recall information related to Qianqiu Yue from her childhood, only for her memories to nearly be erased—
Su Yushang suddenly realized that there was far too much that was wrong with herself.
And there was also far too much that was strange about the mother standing before her.
"Mother, you—"
Su Yushang forced herself to speak, suppressing the unease in her heart.
Her gaze swept around instinctively, only to suddenly catch sight of something—
In her mother's hand was a black notebook she found extremely familiar!
'Isn't that… the diary copy? Why does Mother have one too?!'
But before she had time to think further, Qianqiu Xue spoke again:
"Yushang, you still haven't told me—what are you doing here?"
Her voice had already taken on a stern edge, tinged with unmistakable interrogation.
Just as Su Yushang was thinking about how to answer, a system notification suddenly rang out.
[Detected a nearby bound owner of a diary copy. Would you like to add them as a friend?]
This time, it wasn't just Su Yushang who froze—Qianqiu Xue's expression also stiffened for a brief moment.
She then looked at Su Yushang with clear surprise.
"Yushang… you?"
At that moment, Su Yushang opened her palm, and a familiar black notebook appeared in her hand.
She then took a deep breath and asked in a low, steady voice:
"Mother, I need you to clear something up for me…"
"Who is Qianqiu Yue, and what relationship do you have with her?"
Faced with Su Yushang's question, Qianqiu Xue was momentarily stunned.
"You remembered… everything?"
Then, as if she had realized something, she glanced at the empty ground where Su Yushang had been standing earlier and understood at once.
"Sigh."
She let out a soft sigh.
"Come with me."
With that, the woman in the purple gown turned and walked away.
Su Yushang hesitated only for a moment before quickly following after her.
She had the distinct feeling that she was about to come into contact with a long-buried secret—one unknown to the world.

Elsewhere.
Taihuang Hall.
Chu Ge had already finished writing today's diary entry.
He didn't have to wait long before the system's notification sounded in his mind.
[Ding. Beginning daily diary settlement…]
[Ding. Daily diary rewards settled. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward: +6 acupoints.]
[Today's diary score is 92. You have obtained one lottery chance. Would you like to use it?]
Chu Ge's eyes lit up.
A diary score of 92—this was the first time ever!
His mood surged with excitement.
After all, the diary score directly affected the quality of what he could obtain from the lottery.
A high score of 92 undoubtedly meant that the upcoming draw had a very high chance of yielding an extremely rare item!
