The heavy words deepened the somber atmosphere.

Seriousness was etched across everyone's faces; this matter was far more serious than they had initially estimated. They must prepare for the worst in advance.

"That Lindong family's bird, her recent actions have been quite frequent."

"I must admit, she has shown exceptional skill in handling these matters. Clearly, she was just a naive girl at first, but her efficient methods rival those of the seasoned veterans." Chen San chuckled.

"A born ruler and a master of power, so similar to 'Destiny'. Perhaps once she grows, she will indeed be a troublesome character." Everme rubbed his chin, recalling the first time he saw the girl hiding shyly and awkwardly behind 'Destiny'.

When they met again not long ago, he could no longer see through those deep, serene eyes that seemed to have transformed. The once lively bird had become silent and reserved, with cold indifference hidden under her polite smile.

Or perhaps... rationality.

"This is exactly what worries me. Judging by her character, this meticulous bird should be cautious beyond measure when making such moves. She should be more aware than anyone that her wings are still tender, roots shallow, and one wrong move could lead to her downfall."

"It feels as if something is driving her to make these risky moves step by step."

"Regardless of the outside attitude, we mustn't give up here. The struggle must continue. Perhaps we can try relying on Sevia and the 'Tree of Eternal Life'."

"Tsk, just at this time 'Destiny' goes missing, not even a single message."

Amy paid no attention to the ongoing discussion as her gaze was entirely fixed on a promotional poster, the final's poster for the 'Starry Art Competition'. The luminescent image of Cosmos' star Marlene stood prominently at the center of the poster.

Since Xin's interactions with the family, she felt the distance between them growing. They used to sit together discussing this year's Starry Art Competition.

She vaguely remembered the light in the girl's eyes when speaking about the final stage.

The finals are in two days. Xin, what are you thinking about at this moment?

...

"Wisdom shines bright, chasing dreams."

"Achieve self, wings spread to soar."

"Art is the fountain of human wisdom, the pursuit of beauty, the embodiment of all emotions, an expressive way to convey feelings, concepts, and reality. It makes the world a better place."

The corridors of the foster home echoed with the children's neat recital. The walls were adorned with art bursting with childish imagination, some exquisite, some sloppy, yet all neatly pinned with thumbtacks.

Tang Xin walked quietly in this small world belonging to the children, where countless cartoon characters, future cities, and flying cars seemed to come alive beside her and join her in breathing and thinking.

Due to the length of her hair, she had to braid it into a thick plait that fell behind her to her shrouded legs, accompanied by a serene and gentle aura.

Tang Xin noticed a drawing hidden beneath many sketches, her eyes flickered as she took it out and saw a depiction of herself in watercolor, simply drawn, bordering on messy. Below was neatly written:

——'My favorite Sister Xiaotang!'

It must be Little Alice's drawing?

Tang Xin thought.

Following behind, Ince seized the moment to adjust the camera's angle, filming the girl's silhouette steadily and confidently. Never once did he doubt his photographic skills, assured that if only colors existed here, his shots would turn out splendidly!

Perhaps tomorrow, —— 'The kind Starry Singer, the Lindong family's Miss Sevia visits her childhood sanctuary and donates to Iris Foster Home, establishing the Blue Iris Fund' could instantly hit the trending searches.

Let those who vent their wrath behind the curtain see that such truth, beauty, and goodness still exist!

Soothing their muddy and polluted hearts.

Who could be this beautiful, gentle, kind person?

Indeed, it's his new master, Miss Sevia!

"Miss, please tilt your head slightly, yes, just a little more, right, smile like that, you're incredibly beautiful, bound to captivate everyone." Ince snapped photo after photo as he found the ideal angle.

The perfectly enchanting smile became serene; Tang Xin concealed all her emotions within and continued walking through this small realm.

Ince began editing the footage he had just captured on the spot.

Soon, the class dismissal bell rang, and the children swarmed out of the classroom. Seeing the girl's figure, their eyes lit up, and they flocked around her. The boys stood nearby trying to maintain their composure, while a few bold and lively girls directly hugged her, circling around Tang Xin.

"Sister Tang!"

"Hehe, Sister Tang came to see us today too."

"Sister Tang smells so nice, I like it."

Clearly, the girl ranked among the top three in these children's 'favorite things'.

Ince seized the opportunity for another round of rapid shooting until he noticed a boy nearby shivering from the cold, wearing only a vest. The boy sniffed at his nose, a proud expression on his face.
