Chapter 1932 Gentle and Pure (1/2)
Everyone looked towards the cup that the Viscount was holding. They heard a cracking sound, then the cup shattered. The pieces and the water splashed down to the table.
Rebecca and the others saw it shatter, and then their eyes widened. Amidst the broken shards of ceramic, there was a moon-like thing. It was still floating where the cup had been.
Du Lishe was simply frozen, and could not speak.
Rebecca's face changed, and she asked the Viscount, ”Did Han Sen really use that teacup?”
The Viscount said, ”Yes, I was sitting next to him. I saw everything he did, and that cup has not been touched since.”
”But he has been gone for half an hour. How can the Moon still be there, and how could it have broken the cup? That surely isn't Moon.” Kriman looked at the sisters with confusion.
The reflection in the water was the beginning of Moon. Putting light in the water wasn't something that was supposed to last, as it didn't physically exist. It would fade away quickly without a source of power to keep pumping into it.
Han Sen had been gone for half an hour, and the shape in the water still remained. That meant it wasn't just an illusion. The light was something solid. It had broken the cup, which no illusion could do.
Rebecca stood up and walked over to Han Sen’s seat. She looked at the light, examining it with a strange expression.
The others came over to surround it, too. Kriman said, ”Rebecca, is this Moon? That guy isn't playing a trick on us, is he?”
Rebecca looked down at the bright moon and said, ”It is. And it is much better than what Du Lishe and I can do. It has the secrets of Moon Wheel in it.”
”The secrets of Moon Wheel?” Everyone was shocked.
When Rebecca mentioned Moon Wheel, it got everyone's attention.
Rebecca pointed at the light and said, ”Do you see? This is a solid light. This isn't just a mere shadow. This is not a reflection. It is a real moon. But it should be impossible for a solid moon to enter the water without at least causing ripples. Everything that touches water should deform it, unless you had the extremely gentle touch of something like Moon Wheel.”
”Rebecca, you and Du Lishe can do something like this, yes?” Sad Night asked Rebecca.
Rebecca shook her head, ”My Father practiced Moon Wheel to a half-deified status. This skill stems from Moonlight, so it is easy to learn, but difficult to practice. Not everyone can bring it up to its highest tier. Du Lishe hasn't practiced Moon Wheel at all. I have practiced it, but I am far from gentle enough to do this. You would have to be a Duke or a King to avoid disturbing the water.”
Everyone's faces changed. Kriman's face looked particularly bad, and he asked, ”Is it really that hard? Han Sen did not practice Moon Wheel, and he is just a Viscount that practiced Moon. How could he do such a thing? Look closer. He might have tried to trick us or something.”
Rebecca peered into the light for a while, before giving up with a wry smile. ”This is Moon, yes. I don't know how he managed to do this. I have only seen a casting of such quality from my father. Maybe he really did leam something from the Narrow Moon Knife.”
When everyone heard that, they were struck with speechlessness. Kriman's face was twitching, and it burned.
