"You said you want to go out?" Ouyang Zixin originally thought Yun Tianmo would stay and explore whether the Mirror Guardian had any other functions, but instead, he heard him say he wanted to leave the Underground Palace to find his sibling, Yun Tianying.
Yun Tianmo nodded. If he didn't know, that would be one thing, but now that he had seen Yun Tianying in the Mirror Guardian, there was no reason not to look for him.
However, Ouyang Zixin did not think so. In the Millennium Ruins, not only were there numerous traps, but even if they managed to exit the Underground Palace, they had no idea where the Beautiful Scenery Without Form was located. How could they find it? What if Yun Tianying figured it out on his own? Wouldn't that mean missing out again?
Nameless also nodded in agreement. Going out to search was indeed not a good plan, but he understood Yun Tianmo's feelings. Therefore, he only hinted at his concerns and did not dare to discourage him too much; after all, it was his own brother.
Yun Tianmo naturally knew that what the two said made sense, but he couldn't let go of his worries. Growing up together as brothers, letting the poisoned Yun Tianying venture into the Millennium Ruins alone felt like a gamble. He never expected that there would be something like Beautiful Scenery Without Form in the Millennium Ruins; given Yun Tianying's personality, he feared he might easily miss it.
"There's no use worrying. Since you've decided to let him enter the Millennium Ruins, you need to be mentally prepared. What? You could let him explore when you didn't see him, but now that you've only seen someone who looks like him in the mirror, you can't hold back? What if what we saw was all fake?" Ouyang Zixin noticed that Yun Tianmo still wouldn't relent and grew anxious, his tone becoming more intense. "We're all adults now; some things you have to let him experience on his own. So what if he's poisoned? I almost died myself!"
Speaking of this matter made Yun Tianmo's heart tighten. If he hadn't had a vague premonition back then, Ouyang Zixin might not have survived until now. At that time, there was no Mirror Guardian; his appearance could only be considered luck for both Ouyang Zixin and him.
"That's different." Yun Tianmo sighed inwardly. His expression grew colder. Every time he thought of Ouyang Zixin being in danger, his heart would inevitably feel heavy.
Seeing Yun Tianmo turn away from him, Ouyang Zixin refused to back down. He directly circled around and turned him back to face him. "How is it different? Your incident was a coincidence; my life just wasn't meant to end then. You happened to be there to save me. What about Yun Tianying? Since he's entered the Millennium Ruins, he should be prepared for what's ahead. You're the same; how can you see him just standing there and not be able to resist rushing over?"
Ouyang Zixin's aggressive stance made Yun Tianmo furrow his brows; he didn't understand why this Little Woman suddenly became so emotional. Her small face had turned bright red, yet she showed no signs of stopping her words.
"What can you do by going? Tell him not to provoke that Beautiful Scenery Without Form? Or are you going to take his place? Don't forget why you let him enter the Millennium Ruins in the first place!" Ouyang Zixin was very agitated. It seemed she was determined not to let Yun Tianmo go.
Yun Tianmo quietly looked at Ouyang Zixin in front of him, wondering what her sudden emotions were about. Was it for herself? Was she worried that he would face danger if he left the Underground Palace? Or did she hope he would stay and be with her?
Various speculations flashed through his mind. However, in the end, he dismissed them all. These seemingly reasonable explanations could not truly justify her feelings, so what was the real reason?
Ouyang Zixin spoke at length, but Yun Tianmo didn’t say a word, just staring at her intently. As she continued, her voice grew softer, and she seemed increasingly uneasy, as if stopping him was something terribly wrong.
Nameless cast a pleading glance; she desperately needed an ally. But even though Nameless received her signal for help, she could only shrug helplessly, indicating that she was powerless to persuade Yun Tianmo.
“Be honest,” Yun Tianmo said, feeling defeated by the obvious interaction between the two. He decided to let Ouyang Zixin speak directly; all those grand principles only made her less credible.
Huh?
Ouyang Zixin was taken aback. Did Yun Tianmo really miss the point after all she had said? No way, could he read minds?
Nameless also gave Ouyang Zixin a look that suggested she should just say it. Since the Butterfly Effect had already been vaguely explained, it would be better to lay everything out clearly so that Yun Tianmo could make his own judgment.
Having gone over the Butterfly Effect hundreds of times in her mind, Ouyang Zixin understood why she needed to stop Yun Tianmo from seeking out Yun Tianying. However, she could only grasp the concept vaguely herself and couldn’t articulate it clearly, so it was best to let Ouyang Zixin explain.
“Think about it; the so-called chaotic phenomenon means that even a butterfly flapping its wings far away can potentially cause a tornado on the other side of the continent. Isn’t that a significant impact?” Ouyang Zixin struggled to explain how a butterfly in the tropical rainforest of South America could cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later by occasionally flapping its wings, so she had to gloss over the distance.
But saying it this way seemed inadequate to fully express the Butterfly Effect's influence. Frustrated, she bit her lip and stared at Yun Tianmo, asking him, “Do you understand what I mean?”
Yun Tianmo neither nodded nor shook his head; he simply parted his thin lips and uttered “Continue,” then fell silent again.
Ouyang Zixin felt somewhat powerless, but there was nothing she could do. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Think about it, such a tiny butterfly... Forget the butterfly; in any case, every development of things has constants and variables. The trajectory of development has patterns to follow, but there are also unpredictable 'variables' that can often lead to the opposite outcome. A small change can influence the development of things, indicating that the development process is complex."
Nameless could hardly bear to listen any longer. Wasn't her explanation just making things more complicated? Yun Tianmo wondered if he could even grasp it.
"The more complicated the situation, the greater the danger! Do you understand what I mean?" Ouyang Zixin looked at Yun Tianmo eagerly, hoping he would nod to show he understood; otherwise, she really didn't know how to explain further.
After quite a while, Yun Tianmo still did not respond. Just as Ouyang Zixin was about to give up, she suddenly heard him say, "So, all this time you've been worried that I might be in danger."
So it was concern for him. Ha ha, Yun Tianmo finally found an explanation for Ouyang Zixin's behavior. It seemed his initial guess was correct; despite her fierce demeanor like a little tiger, she still cared for him.
"…"
"Alright, I promise I won't go," Yun Tianmo said with a proud lift of his chin, clearly satisfied with Ouyang Zixin's concern for him.
(To be continued.)
ps: Ouyang Zixin: "Am I concerned about him?" Nameless: "Yes." Ouyang Zixin: "You noticed I'm concerned about him?" Nameless: "Yes." Ouyang Zixin: "Then did you notice I want subscriptions and Monthly Ticket?" Nameless: "Perhaps, Cloud Young Master noticed." Yun Tianmo: "Yes, subscriptions and Monthly Ticket, I want them all!" Ouyang Zixin cried out: "Can you not be so cool when asking for subscriptions and Monthly Ticket?"
