These words came from the bottom of Masumi's heart, without the slightest falsehood.

The little girl gazed at Masumi, who was trying to hold back her tears, and her eyes gradually regained their former sparkle.

She roused herself and bowed deeply to her older sister, Masumi.

"Masumi-neechan, thank you for always caring about Bubble so much. Even if, even if I'm all alone, Bubble will do my best!"

"Thank you!"

Section 291, Chapter 290: Transfer

Jack and Masumi walked silently back, neither of them speaking to break the subtle atmosphere between them.

"..."

"Acheng, you promised me."

Suddenly, Jack said something out of the blue.

"Yes, but I've changed my mind."

"..."

Seeing Jack's worried expression, Masumi couldn't help but comfort him, "I didn't have a good impression of Councilor Gulian to begin with, this just made her opinion of me even lower..."

“This time it’s different!” Jack blurted out.

"This time, it's different."

He sighed: "The 'soda' I gave you is a precious relic, similar in function to a remotely controlled liquid explosive."

"Its detonation is not limited by distance, and its incubation period in the human body can be as long as thirty years."

“Originally, this was something my aunt did just to be on the safe side…”

"Just to be on the safe side?"

Masumi interrupted him: "You exiled Bubbles to Hell Island, and now you want to add another layer of 'insurance'?"

"I never imagined that a dignified member of parliament would be so afraid of a little girl that he would resort to such despicable means!"

"The dangers of bubbles are far greater than you imagine... Never mind, let's not talk about that now."

Jack tugged at his collar in frustration: "Didn't I tell you this before we went to the research institute?"

"Bubble is mysterious beyond belief. She might not drink that relic. Just give it to her, and no matter what happens, your aunt won't blame you!"

"Ah Chun, I know you're doing this for my sake."

Masumi shook her head: "But I'm Masumi-neechan, the one who makes Bubble! How could I knowingly give that jar of stuff to Bubble if I knew it was problematic?"

"..."

"Ah Chun, no matter what happens in the future, I will never regret the decision I made today!"

"A Cheng..."

Jack let out a breath, his expression solemn: "Before your aunt calms down, I'll send you abroad to avoid the storm. For now, don't come back."

Masumi was taken aback, looking somewhat incredulous.

She was just a nobody, and besides, she was Chun's fiancée, so she was somehow related to Councilor Gulian.

Because of this... would that congressman actually do something against me?

"Ah Chun, aren't you overthinking this?"

"In my memory, Councilor Gulian is not the kind of narrow-minded person."

Jack gave a wry smile. In normal circumstances, his aunt would have considered his feelings to some extent.

But, can something like Bubble's situation be considered an 'ordinary' thing?

"It's just a possibility, but to be on the safe side, Asumi, you should listen to me."

"By the way, isn't her real name also overseas? You two sisters haven't seen each other in a long time, you can take this opportunity to go and see her."

Masumi nodded, knowing she shouldn't argue with Jun about this.

"Then it's settled. I'll make the arrangements now."

Fearing that things might change if he delayed, Jack immediately took out his phone and dialed a number.

"toot"

The long busy signal made Jack's heart sink, and he immediately changed to another number.

"Beep beep beep beep"

"..."

One call after another was made, but without exception, no one answered.

Cold sweat broke out on Jack's forehead as he dialed Aunt Gulian's number with trembling hands.

"toot"

"........."

“Jun,” Masumi wanted to say something.

"Don't be afraid, I won't let anyone hurt you."

Holding Masumi's hand tightly, Jack felt a sense of foreboding.

..................................................................

"Are you here to pick me up?" Bubble asked warily as a large group of men in black entered her room.

"We are indeed here to take you to your new school."

A handsome young man with delicate features and a slender build said with a smile.

"Hello, my name is Bubble!"

"I'm……"

Just as he was about to blurt out his pseudonym, the handsome man suddenly paused, remembering someone's reminder.

"Just call me Qiong."

"Oh."

The little girl nodded: "Shall we set off now?"

"Yes, please follow me."

“This journey is long, so we’ll take a helicopter,” Joan said very politely.

..................................................................

"Bubble has flown on airplanes before, but the feeling of riding in a helicopter is different."

The little girl looked around and said, "It feels a bit crowded."

"Just a little longer, we'll be at the outer island soon."

Joan reassured him, "While the helicopter is landing for refueling, I'll accompany you for a walk on the outer island."

"Okay!" The little girl nodded with a smile.

"..."

Joan glanced at Bubble and a strange feeling rose in her heart.

Before meeting Bubble, Joan had already mentally constructed an image of a lawless, aggressive little girl, but who would have thought...

'Putting aside preconceived notions, she's a perfectly good child.'

What exactly did Bubble do to make the councilors so heartless as to exile her to that place?

"Sister Qiong, is Bubble's next school also on the island?"

"Wait...no, what did you just call me?"

Qiong raised her voice slightly: "It's brother, it should be brother!"

"Qiong is clearly the older sister, so why does Bubble call you brother?" The little girl looked at her curiously.

"..."

Qiong looked rather speechless, never expecting that her true identity would be seen through by a young girl she had just met.

"Actually, I don't like pretending to be a man either, but it's the sect's rule."

The reason for this was to build a good relationship with the young girl so that the task could be completed smoothly.

Qiong complained, seemingly genuinely, "Actually, many of my colleagues knew I was a woman after hearing about my sect, and lying about my sect is a big taboo..."

"Sigh, sometimes I feel helpless too."

"Qiong, are you a martial artist?"

Bubble sized up the woman dressed as a man: "During the last field trip, Bubble encountered many powerful martial artists on the grassland!"

"Oh?"

Qiong immediately became interested: "Many powerful figures have emerged from the grasslands throughout history. Did you meet any grandmasters?"

"Golden Knife Tauges, or Eagle Claw Giltai?"

“Uenqi, Toya, Achi…”

The little girl was completely bewildered by the string of names that were called out.

"The people you're talking about seem familiar to Bubble, yet... I don't think I've ever seen them before."

"The names of the grassland people are quite difficult to remember, but every master is unique. Once you've met them, you should have a deep impression of them."

"A very deep impression..."

The little girl thought for a moment and said, "Bubble met many, many people on the grassland, but only three left a deep impression on her."

"Oh?"
