*sigh* I thought for a long time and finally, I made a decision to "try" and be serious this time. It's been so long since I've opened the panel and now I'm going to do it. I raised my hand and hesitated.
'F*ck it.' I finally summoned the panel and swiped mid-air.
"Statistics." I recited and the panel that has been collecting dust finakky appeared. The panel has changed somehow. There were new categories now other than the original statistics, mirror, and navigator. There were personal information about the people Yuhuan has met and has to meet. I still of course don't wanna read the book of destinies, I don't wanna spoil the little fun I had. Iris at my side almost bulged her eyes out but after seeing the panel, sighed. Her shock was explainable but the sudden relieve was questionable. I stared at her with an eyebrow raised. What is she up to now?
I dragged my attention back towards the panel in front of me. The statistics revealed the percentage of my success and the current route I'm at. Iris was right, the Guifei route was destroyed. It was originally a position given by the emperor but that won't happen now I guess. I was shocked for a second when I scrolled. It revealed the possible routes.
"Han Yuhuan..?" It was the highest percentage of possibility right now and the only one that was currently revealed.
'Who the f*ck is Han?' I looked at Iris looking for answers.
'What Han?' She said. I looked at her once more and she seems to...really not know anything about it. I continued reading the statistics trying to figure out why Yuhuan's surname was different. There wasn't much information though.

Tsk, tsk, tsk... The little kitty cat was almost caught by her tail. Her acting sure has improved. Lying to her face like that.
'Hooh! The seamstress panel!' Who wouldn't forget? It has been a millennia since she opened that panel. It originally revealed statistics about the character's current path and affection from other people significant to the body. It has a navigator to spot where someone was and a mirror that reveals a person's real thoughts. It was restrained to that since she was a system...but it was different now. Though she's still a system, she's currently working as a seamstress so it would obviously limit the information she has.
'I thought I was gonna die!' The kitty slowly regained her posture. The panel has newly added features since the girl has become an official seamstress. There was now character information and affection levels as well as a "threats" page. The kitty was very thankful that her friend was hardheaded and she made use of that. Iris knows that this girl would never accept any demands from anyone, even if it's from the kitty itself. Such blissful acting! Trying to force Elle to open the book of destinies just to be ignored.
*Hooh! It went well as expected.* Iris can now relax knowing that Elle won't ever, as in never open the book of destiny. The kitty cat didn't want Elle to read the destiny book. Her strategy worked of course. An example was when she stood opening the panel and asking for the hardcover book instead, going with the ripping method instead of using the panel. Iris remembered just what had happened that day and regretted it for hundreds of years.

"Just open the damn panel! It's not like your gonna f*cking die!" Iris, in her other form has exclaimed. They were currently outside of the galactic foreign affairs building. The purple-skinned-girl in front of the cat doesn't want to reveal what the trial results would be so that they can change the process of the whole trial so they'll win. But the stubborn Elle didn't do sh*t and ignored her until she snapped at what Iris had said.

From then on...she stopped looking into the panel because of anger. The kitty cat, being as crafty as Bastet, used reverse-psychology on her so the girl, with her stone-like personality, wouldn't read the book at all. And going back to what Elle was doing. Iris saw her reading about the affection points. It looks like it had dawned to her that she's an official seamstress since there were affection points in her panel.
Yang Xuanjiao: -63
Yang Guo: - 59
Yang Hanguo: - 67
Yang Guoguo: - 32

It revealed the people who encountered Yang Yuhuan. And what Elle was skeptical about are the two question marks. With 2 and 19 affection points.
'How would these two have affection points when I haven't met them yet?' She thought to herself and continued reading. A lot of people had very low affection points that they would be able to think of killing her, but the people who admired her are weighed more so it wasn't worrying at all. Elle opened the navigation and tried to find out who and where the two question marks were. It made the little kitty watching clutch the side of the tub. She went stiff but it wasn't noticed by Elle at all. When Elle tried to navigate the... They were nowhere on the map. It seems to malfunction but the questionable activities of the pointer were answered.
'They're related to the imbalance, it must be.' The cat watching has once again, relaxed. When the bathing session was finished she changed her attire and wore a sleeping dress. She thought deeply about what was to come after reading the routes that were available. The most questionable one was for sure the "Han Yuhuan" route at 9 percent. She was happy that there was also the "Dragon Mercenary" route that has opened, but it was currently at 4 percent. She slowly fell asleep as she thought of how to manage things tomorrow, not knowing anything of what disaster was to come upon her...the siblings.
