Bibi Dong looked at Hu Liena, a complex smile appearing on her lips.
Wasn't she the same when she was young?
They were devoted to Yu Xiaogang because of his so-called talent and ability.
And what was the result?
Fate plays tricks on people.
In the end, she married Qianyu.
That man, apart from being reasonably good-looking and having a mild personality, didn't seem to have anything particularly commendable about him.
Compared to the unparalleled geniuses on this list, they are worlds apart.
"Perhaps, this is fate."
Bibi Dong felt a little disappointed, but it was fleeting.
Just then, Hu Liena suddenly exclaimed, breaking Bibi Dong's thoughts.
"Wait! Teacher, look!"
There were words behind that curtain!
Hu Liena pointed to the fading golden light in the sky, her fingers trembling.
"Besides being the city lord of Mozi City, what else is Mozi... a member of the Jixia Academy?"
"!!!"
Bibi Dong suddenly looked up, her beautiful eyes freezing once again.
[Affiliation: Mo Family City, actually Jixia Academy]
These words struck her heart like a heavy hammer.
"What?"
"Was Mozi a member of the Jixia Academy?"
"Just what kind of power is this Jixia Academy? How could it possibly recruit a powerhouse of Mozi's caliber?!"
Bibi Dong was completely unable to remain calm.
Mozi controls Mo Family City, possesses an extraordinary mecha martial spirit, and holds soul guidance technology capable of overturning the continent.
How could such a powerful figure be merely a member of a certain faction?
Moreover, judging from the note, Mo Family City seems to be just a branch of Jixia Academy or an external window.
"Jixia Academy..."
Bibi Dong frantically searched her mind for the name, but to no avail.
For the first time, the fear of the unknown crept into the pope's heart.
...
At the same time.
The core area of Mo Family City, the City Lord's Mansion.
Compared to the hustle and bustle and steel jungle outside, the interior of the city lord's mansion is quite quiet and elegant.
A tall, slender figure strolled leisurely through the corridor, hands behind his back.
The man was dressed in white, his face was exceptionally handsome, and his temperament was otherworldly, as if he were a celestial being who had never been touched by the mundane world.
It was Qian Yu, the "ordinary" husband that Bibi Dong had mentioned.
Two people were following him.
On the left is a blonde girl with stunning beauty, snow-white skin, and an innate nobility and arrogance between her brows—that is Qian Renxue.
On the right is a girl with cute bunny ears holding a paper umbrella, named Gongsun Li.
"Father, the security at the City Lord's Mansion seems to be even tighter than that at the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace."
As Qian Renxue walked, she glanced at the mechanical guards hidden in the shadows around her, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Qianyu smiled slightly and said casually:
"Mozi was always cautious, so it's normal that he built this place like an iron barrel."
As they spoke, the three of them arrived at a spacious workshop hall.
In the center of the hall, a tall figure clad in dark green mecha was working on a complex and sophisticated instrument.
Upon hearing footsteps, the mecha stopped moving.
The mask was removed, revealing a wise and weathered middle-aged face.
It was Mozi, the master of Mo Family City, who had just climbed to sixth place on the Martial Soul Ranking.
Upon seeing Qianyu, Mozi showed no airs of a city lord. Instead, he immediately put down his tools and strode forward.
He bowed slightly, his expression extremely respectful.
"Dean, you've arrived."
The way he called out "Dean" was so natural, as if he had rehearsed it a thousand times.
However, Qian Renxue, standing behind Qian Yu, was completely confused.
She blinked her beautiful eyes, which were filled with doubt.
"Dean?"
Why does the city lord of Mo Family City call his father Dean?
Could it be that my father was once the dean of some obscure little academy, and Mozi was once a student there?
But this is just too outrageous.
How could someone like Mozi be so respectful to his father?
Qianyu seemed unaware of her daughter's confusion and simply nodded at Mozi.
"Hmm, let's take a look."
Mozi's gaze then fell on Qian Renxue, and a kind smile appeared on his serious face.
"This must be my niece, Xue'er?"
"He truly inherited the dean's talent and is exceptionally gifted."
Although Qian Renxue was full of questions, her good upbringing made her react immediately.
She slightly bent her knees, performing an elegant junior's greeting.
"Hello, Uncle Mozi."
Without wasting words, Qianyu got straight to the point.
"Mozi, is the birthday present I asked you to prepare ready?"
Mozi nodded quickly, turned around and took an exquisite silver metal box from the complicated experimental table.
"I would naturally not dare to neglect the dean's instructions."
"All errors have been corrected; it's flawless."
"..."
Qianyu took the box, weighed it in her hand, and nodded in satisfaction.
Then, he turned to Qian Renxue and handed her the box.
"Xue'er".
Qianyu's voice became much gentler.
"This is a birthday present from your father."
Qian Renxue looked at the silver box and felt a warm current welling up in her heart.
She took the box, but instead of opening it immediately, she stood on tiptoe and gave Qianyu a hard kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you, Father!"
Qianyu smiled and said:
Aren't you curious about what I gave you?
Qian Renxue held the box, her face beaming with smiles, her eyes filled with affection.
"No matter what it is, as long as it's a gift from Father, Xue'er will like it!"
"..."
Even if it's just a stone, if it's given to her by her father, she will cherish it as a treasure.
"Silly girl."
Qianyu affectionately ruffled her blonde hair.
"Try turning it on; it should suit you quite well."
Qian Renxue nodded and gently pressed the switch on the box with her slender fingers.
Click.
The box is opened.
A dazzling golden light burst forth, illuminating the entire workshop in a magnificent golden glow.
There were no jewelry pieces as I had imagined.
Lying quietly in the box was a miniature version of an exquisitely crafted golden suit of armor.
Each plate of the armor seemed to be formed from pure divine light, and its streamlined design was full of sacred and majestic beauty.
Behind the armor, there are even six lifelike reliefs of wings that have not yet unfolded.
"This is..."
Qian Renxue's breath caught in her throat for a moment.
As someone with a six-winged angel martial soul, she felt a resonance from the depths of her soul.
Qianyu calmly explained from the side:
"This is the Angelic Armor from the Angel Set."
"It was supposed to be part of a set with that angelic sword, but the armor was damaged back then, and much of its divinity was lost."
"During this period, I had Mozi use the technology here to make some minor repairs."
"By the way, I made some minor modifications."
