Chapter 46: Guess Where I Am?
Tifureka glanced at the embarrassing nun beside her and pressed the doorbell directly.
“We are members of the Order of Sequence, responsible for protecting the safety of the Clear Water Songstress. Please allow us to meet with the Clear Water Songstress.”
Not long after, a woman came to open the door.
This was Clear Water’s agent.
She seemed to have known about the Order of Sequence members coming quite well in advance.
“Please come in, the Clear Water Songstress is waiting for you all.”
“Uh-huh.”
Tifureka and the other two walked into the spacious room.
The high-end atmosphere here was indeed thick, matching its name as a luxury hotel.
Tifureka scanned the room and quickly spotted a certain figure.
Beautiful sky-blue hair, and aquamarine eyes shimmering like gemstones.
It was definitely Clear Water Songstress.
Qing Liao stood up and came in front of Tifureka.
“I’m Qing Liao, please take care of me from now on.”
“I’m Tifureka of the Order of Sequence, and the leader of this mission. We’ll keep you safe until you leave the Waltonka.”
Qing Liao’s hand met Tifureka’s, looking very harmonious.
Just as Qing Liao released Tifureka’s hand and hadn’t had time to retract it, two hands quickly snatched hers.
“Hi! Hi! I’m Sister Mi Lei You of the Order of Sequence! My life goal is to attract many followers like you! Please take good care of me!”
Mi Lei You enthusiastically held Qing Liao’s hand, as if she were a super fan.
“Aha… haha…”
Qing Liao politely returned her hand, maintaining grace even under the grip.
“Hello.”
Moon Sings walked over, giving Mi Lei You a light tap on the head.
“Hello, Miss Qing, I’m Moon Sings of the Order of Sequence. I assure you that during your stay in Waltonka, no harm will come to you.”
“Thank you both, I feel much safer with your protection.”
Though Qing Liao was consistently polite, the trio always felt an obvious distance. It seemed the songstress didn’t want much interaction.
Was it just their imagination?
Tifureka was the first to notice, saying, “Since we’ve met you, we’ll leave now. We’re staying next door, so if any danger arises, don’t hesitate to call out.”
“I understand.”
Then Tifureka and the others left the room.
Once they left, Qing Liao involuntarily exhaled, her gentle smile visibly fading, sinking into a bit of depression.
“Did I seem impolite? Did I make them dislike me because I’m too difficult to talk to? Can someone really like this me…”
Qing Liao sighed deeply and stared blankly.
Truthfully, she felt a bit afraid of the Free Country.
Because it seemed dangerously perilous, a bit chaotic.
Holding a concert here was clearly not going to be easy. Compared to her homeland of Huaxia, it was even more dangerous.
But she had plenty of fans in the Free Country. Add to that her identity as a world-renowned songstress, she couldn’t back down.
She was still in her prime, with many waiting for her return.

Meanwhile.
Next door to the Clear Water Songstress’s room.
Tifureka, Mi Lei You, and Moon Sings stripped down to thin short-sleeve shirts.
Mi Lei You flopped onto the soft bed, hugging a pillow and rolling to the other side.
“You guys think… Does the Clear Water Songstress seem a bit resistant to us? She always seems unwilling to talk.”
Moon Sings shook her head sitting at the table, having a different opinion.
“I think she’s probably just nervous? She might not know how to interact with us properly. Such a cute girl—If this is the true nature of Clear Water, I would love that.”
Tifureka also sat down.
“Even if she’s a world-renowned songstress, at heart she’s still a young girl. Shyness and introversion are typical traits in adolescents, so it’s not odd that Clear Water exhibits such traits.”
“But she becoming a world-renowned songstress is truly remarkable.” Mi Lei You remarked.
Although Qing Liao seemed distant, Mi Lei You’s admiration for her remained unchanged.
Her current plan was to spend more time with Qing Liao, learn singing techniques from her, and ask how to sing songs that touch the heart and earn faith.
This was one of her goals.
Learning Qing Liao’s skills would surely bring in more believers devoted to the Order’s deity.
Tifureka glanced at Mi Lei You, naturally guessing her thoughts.
“If you try to gain followers that way, they might not believe in the deity but in you instead. Isn’t that disrespectful?”
“Is it really that bad? As a nun, I can’t let people believe in me because that would be a great insult to the divine!” Mi Lei You realized her idea sounded implausible.
Simultaneously, she was contemplating another approach.
“What if I tell them it’s the voice of God singing through me? Would that make them believe?”
“That’s just lying, especially under the guise of the divine. That’s a huge insult!”
“Geez—”
Mi Lei You cried despondently.
Looks like this path of becoming a singing nun was doomed from the start (sad).
Yet this failure couldn’t shake her worship for Qing Liao.
In some ways, Qing Liao, who was merely a nun, was even more remarkable and worthy of learning.
A proper plan was needed to better their relationship.

At the same time.
Night Star and Kong Yu Bai had arrived at Qing Liao’s floor.
Existence Interference’s perception was incredibly strong; a quick glance could pinpoint anyone’s location.
“Hmm, Qing Liao should be around here,” Night Star mumbled, holding Kong Yu Bai’s hand outside a door.
“She must be in there,”
Kong Yu Bai could clearly sense a delicate figure in the room coinciding with what she remembered of Qing Liao.
Night Star sensed this too but didn’t rush in.
“There are three Star Holders next door.”
Kong Yu Bai sensed this as well.
“Probably the three members from the Order of Sequence. Let’s leave them alone.”
Ironically, the guards never reacted, not even aware they had approached the Clear Water Songstress’s room.
If these were foes to the Clear Water, the Order would have lost face long ago.
This understandable oversight came because only Extraordinary Stars possessed the power to evade detection.
Night Star shook off the thought and decided not to sneak in and scare Qing Liao. Instead, she took out her device to find contact information.
After locating her details, she texted a brief message:
“Qing Liao~ Guess where I am?”
