Lyra Langley saw the last comment float across the screen and smiled. "I suppose you could say that."
Pierce Prescott asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Just interacting with the fans. They asked a few questions, and I'm answering them."
Pierce nodded. "I see."
Just as the live stream was basking in a warm, peaceful, and healing atmosphere, a striking system notification suddenly popped up at the top of the screen: [User: Serene Sanctuary has logged in.]
The moment the alert appeared, the previously harmonious chat instantly erupted, flooded with a barrage of confused questions.
"Serene Sanctuary is online? Isn't that her old lost alternate account?"
"Both accounts online at the same time? I've never seen this before!"
"So the big and small accounts are both run by her? Why did she say she lost it, then?"
"I'm a little confused. Please explain!"
The tip of Lyra's pen paused imperceptibly. Her heart suddenly seized, and her back stiffened.
She instinctively glanced at Pierce. He was looking down at the hand-copied sutras spread open on the desk, lost in thought.
Lyra turned her head back, putting on a gentle, poised smile, and addressed the camera. "Please don't misunderstand, guys. Don't overthink it."
"Serene Sanctuary is an old account of mine that I lost years ago. I could never recover it, and I almost forgot about it. I just had some free time, suddenly remembered a possible password, and tried it on a whim. To my surprise, it actually logged in. I'm just here to check on the account status and will log off immediately. I won't dual-stream and ruin the experience for everyone."
Her tone was natural and relaxed, her smile genuine and warm. She left no room for doubt.
Meanwhile, the Serene Sanctuary account just idled quietly online—no comments, no interactions, no actions whatsoever. It truly looked as if someone had just logged in to check on things.
Seeing this, the fans quickly let go of their suspicions. The atmosphere in the stream warmed up again, returning to its previous soothing state.
Having completely stabilized the situation, Lyra casually turned to Pierce. Her tone was soft and harmless, sounding like idle chatter. "Oh, right, Pierce. About what you mentioned earlier... I agree. Given our relationship... I'll definitely help you."
