"Her?"
Kong Mingan unconsciously recalled the last time Zhang Lexuan leaned on him a few months ago.
"Oh, your clan sister has been quite the popular figure at Shrek these past few months." Miss Meng bit down hard on the last few words, her tone slightly amused, "I heard that as soon as the Shrek representative team returned, they were surrounded by a group of Shrek students questioning why they lost, why they didn't protect Shrek's honor."
"Several team members couldn't hold back and immediately retorted. The two sides started cursing each other, and then a girl whose Spirit was an Evil Fire Phoenix directly started fighting with the other side, injuring more than ten people at once."
"Afterward, the dean of the Spirit Department stepped in and suppressed the matter."
"But within a month after that, four of the Shrek Seven Devils applied for early graduation. Two returned to their Sect and Family, and the other two were directly recruited by the Star Luo Empire."
"This situation was naturally seen as desertion by other Shrek students, who were all righteously indignant. Then… their anger naturally shifted to the remaining three students."
Kong Mingan roughly guessed who the remaining three students Miss Meng was referring to were. Slightly curious, he continued to ask, "And then?"
"Then Shrek's handling of it was to seal off the news, of course. After all, it wasn't anything glorious."
"However, your clan sister didn't stay idle. She continued her usual practice of directly dealing with various corrupt issues within Shrek, even without enforcement power."
"While investigating, she found out about several elders putting a bounty on you. Your clan sister then took the evidence and confronted them."
"Then, to avoid the matter escalating and rumors spreading like 'Shrek can't take a loss,' your bounty was taken down."
"Is that so?" Kong Mingan's expression showed a hint of regret. He was still sorry that the bounty on him was gone, but regret aside, he wouldn't go put a bounty on himself.
During their casual chat, Kong Mingan had already finished the meal in front of him. Slowly standing up, he looked at Meng Hongchen beside him, "Let's go, my esteemed Miss Meng. I remember next is checking your control over the Soul Skill Module, right?"
The materials were temporarily used up, so there was no need to stay in the lab. Although he enjoyed experiments and the sense of accomplishment in that instant of getting results, he couldn't always stay in the lab. He occasionally needed to go out and relax.
While Kong Mingan was checking Miss Meng's Soul Skill Module and casually strolling around the academy, outside Capital City, two figures suddenly appeared.
As the capital of the Sun Moon Empire, gathering the most cutting-edge soul tool technology on the entire continent, Capital City did not have city walls. Looking at Capital City from afar, one could easily see vast expanses of buildings stretching as far as the eye could see. The buildings were appropriately spaced, the roads straight and crisscrossing. And if one focused, one could also feel numerous special soul tool arrays interconnected, completely enveloping the entire Capital City, emitting vast spirit power fluctuations.
"Interesting…"
The silver-haired girl's vast and hidden mental force silently observed the city. A hint of interest flashed in her clear purple eyes.
Despite her reluctance to admit it, the truth was that humans always managed to surprise her. From the Star Dou Great Forest to here, the closer she got to Capital City, the greater the changes in the city, making her feel an indescribable astonishment. Yet, in just a few of her slumbers, tens of thousands of years passed, and humanity developed to its current state, even giving birth to several gods in succession. And now, a new god might even be on the verge of birth.
"Humans…"
The girl murmured softly, a hint of contemplation flashing in her eyes. Suddenly, however, a golden figure flashed in front of her, her eyes filled with barely concealed excitement, "Lord Sister, is this our destination? It's so big, and it feels different from other cities!"
The golden-haired girl's tone was light and lively, as if she had endless vitality. The silver-haired girl was slightly silent, looking at the golden-haired girl's appearance, which bore a three or four-tenths resemblance to her own between her brows and eyes. In the end, she couldn't get angry. After a slight pause, she asked, "Can you still sense the aura of that Child of Destiny?"
"Yes!" The golden-haired girl nodded, sensed for a moment, and then looked towards the huge city in the distance, pointing her finger in a direction, "Roughly… in that direction!"
The silver-haired girl understood. The Luck of a Child of Destiny was usually bestowed by the plane at their birth, deeply bound to the Child of Destiny. Although the Luck on the Emperor Auspicious Beast was stripped away, the Emperor Auspicious Beast's inherent talent included the ability to observe her own Luck. Therefore, even if the Luck that originally belonged to the Emperor Auspicious Beast left her, she could still perceive the location of this Luck that once belonged to her. It was through this method that they traveled from the Star Dou Great Forest, stopping along the way, to Capital City, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire.
The silver-haired girl moved slightly forward, faint brilliant silver streaks of light appearing in her purple eyes. A certain inexplicable intuition told her that this newly born Child of Destiny would be a crucial key, carrying the plane's desperate future, and in this future, a part would also belong to the Spirit Beasts.
She had to participate; otherwise, the Spirit Beasts might completely "fall behind."
"Prepare, Qiu'er."
"Huh?"
The golden-haired girl blinked, her eyes clear.
"Prepare for admission."
The silver-haired girl spoke softly, her body enveloped in brilliant silver light, her figure beginning to change. Her silver hair and purple eyes faded in color, turning into inconspicuous black hair and black eyes. Her tall curves became symmetrical, and her cold, beautiful face subtly changed, her features altering to form a face that wasn't particularly beautiful but was very delicate. Although her cold temperament was still prominent, compared to her somewhat striking appearance just now, the girl was clearly much more ordinary at this moment.
The girl's black eyes were calm and indifferent. In fact, her original idea was to directly find this Child of Destiny, then figure out why he was worth the plane's desperate gamble, and then… approach him, use him, and personally squeeze out every bit of his "value" to exchange for the possible opportunity for Spirit Beasts to rise.
Hmm… the plan had no problems!
However, after sensing the very obvious god-level aura on him from a distance, she temporarily abandoned the idea of directly going to capture him.
Her identity could not be exposed; once exposed, she would undoubtedly face a siege from the God Realm. She needed a disguise, a normal and unobtrusive identity to approach this Child of Destiny and continue her plan!
And before that, she needed to enroll.
