"You mean..."
"In fact, it's not surprising that Angel asked Delta to borrow the S-level license. My good granddaughter is still holding her A-level promotion order. In order to explore the truth of Changkong City, it's normal to take shortcuts. But she didn't check Changkong City, but checked the Babylon Experiment Tower. You, my old friend, know nothing about such a strange situation. You really should be more careful!"
Otto shook his head and sighed.
Fu Hua's heart became more and more confused.
"Otto, what do you mean?"
"It means that this incident reveals at least two pieces of information: first, your little apprentice is consciously refusing to learn about the inside story of Changkong City; second, K423 is likely to have begun to come into contact with the memories and personality of the Herrscher of the Sky."
Otto replied slowly.
The first thing was already within his expectations. Otto had no intention of intervening. He could only hope that Saint Freya really had the miraculous power to resolve hatred, so there was nothing much to say.
The second thing, to be honest, was not unexpected. It was a necessary part of Xilin's plan and had to happen sooner or later. If the progress was too slow, Otto would even take the initiative to push it forward, so it was not an unexpected situation.
Angel's presumptuous behavior and Delta's reckless behavior were both promoting his plan for Sirin, so Otto was not angry at all and just treated everything as if nothing had happened.
Fu Hua pondered over the meaning of Otto's words, and her expression gradually became gloomy.
"Did Anqi really notice something?"
"She is a true genius, outstanding in both martial arts and intelligence. I have no doubt that she will become one of the pillars of the future of Destiny. How could such a little girl be completely unaware of the little thoughts of my granddaughter? If she doesn't pursue the truth, it can only be because she doesn't want to, not because she is unable to do so."
Otto spoke eloquently, with the confidence and composure of a man who knew everything about Saint Freya.
Fu Hua felt even more depressed, because she knew very well that Otto had such wisdom and ability. Even though Otto was thousands of miles away, Fu Hua believed in Otto's judgment more than her own eyes in many things.
"I accept your reminder, thank you."
"You're welcome. I'm sure you will. I'm also looking forward to her growth. I hope you can handle this properly."
"I will pay more attention to Kiana's situation. Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen to her."
"Of course I believe in your ability, old friend. Let's leave it at that... Honestly, I have a suggestion. If the explosion in Saint Freya is difficult to control, you might as well take the child to Taixu Mountain. Perhaps, she can be given more help there."
Otto looked at Fu Hua with a smile.
In Taixu Mountain there is Ji Lin, as well as the recently emerged Cangxuan Book. In a sense, it is a place where the elders gather together, which will be a great comfort to the lonely and helpless An Qi.
Besides, all the little actions of the Mysterious Book showed that she had some opinions about destiny and was not easy to fool.
Sending a well-behaved, sensible and lovable younger person to show up should be able to greatly control the little doll and change her attitude.
Otto sees this as a win-win situation.
Fu Hua's little face showed a confused expression. She blinked blankly and asked:
"Tai Xu Mountain? Why?"
"It's just a suggestion. If you are at a loss, old friend, you can consider it. That's all."
"Okay, I'll take note of that, thanks."
"I've already told you not to be so polite. Well, it's getting late, so I won't disturb you from resting."
Otto smiled and disconnected the call.
Fu Hua stood there, thinking for a long time, Angel's problem, Kiana's problem, and whether there was any strange calculation in Otto's words - after thinking for a long time, she couldn't figure it out.
She had no choice but to absent-mindedly walk out of this deserted corner and return to Ji Zi's villa.
"Master, look!"
An Qi ran to the door to greet her, but the clothes made Fu Hua's eyes light up.
White short sleeves, black pleats, and a gorgeous and mysterious Lolita black skirt with a black emblem on it, highlighting the slender waist that can be grasped. The snow-white skin and the black skirt form an eye-catching contrast.
It is still as cute as usual, but now has a touch of retro, noble, mysterious and attractive. In other words, it is very stunning.
"very nice."
Fu Hua praised dryly, with a soft and doting smile on her face.
An Qi pinched her skirt and lowered her head with a blushing face, like a shy flower bud.
"Kiana picked it for me."
"Then you should thank her very much."
"Humph! I helped her a lot, this little reward is nothing!"
"What you said makes sense."
Fu Hua paused, reached out her hand and touched An Qi's head. The golden hair felt extremely comfortable and silky to the touch.
But Fu Hua felt a tingling pain in her heart.
'Angie, what can Master do to protect you?'
Different from Cheng Lixue back then, An Qi now looked more like a wooden puppet in Fu Hua's eyes.
It looks beautiful, but it is actually fragile. I always feel that if I am not careful, it will fall and get bruised all over.
Fu Hua didn't dare to leave casually anymore. She was afraid of the day when the truth would be revealed and that An Qi would be destroyed by the cruel reality when she was not paying attention.
"Master...Master? Why did you suddenly hug me?"
"Nothing, I just want to tell you that Master is always by your side. So don't be afraid, everything will pass."
"Master?"
"Promise Master, you must be fine, understand, Anqi?"
Fu Hua lowered her head, feeling extremely proud and distressed for the ignorant little girl in her arms, and she was also extremely determined.
I can't lose this child again. I must protect him at all costs!
Chapter 167: Escape with Disciples in Progress
Fu Hua began to seriously consider taking An Qi back to Taixu Mountain.
There's no other way. You can let her fight the Herrscher, but dealing with complicated psychological problems, especially those involving a deadly blood feud - sorry, this is not within the scope of the Red Iris Sage's job description.
But this is not easy.
Kiana's condition is unstable. Whether it is due to the contract with Otto, personal emotional factors, or simply to guard against the resurrection of the former Herrscher of the Void, Fu Hua has no time to escape.
However, within two days after Otto's proposal, Rita and Yulandel arrived together and entered the gate of St. Freya's school.
"What does that mean? Why are you suddenly here for an inspection? Grandpa, are you still worried about me?"
"That's right! Our principal's last name is Apokalis, we're all family, what's there to check?"
Theresa and Jizi came to the school gate to greet them, but each of them was sweating more than the other.
There is generally nothing wrong with Saint Freya's funding and discipline issues. After all, the two people in charge have a clear bottom line and would not do anything to enrich themselves or engage in corruption.
However, if we examine it carefully, we will find some minor problems - for example, some funds are nominally public funds, but are actually used for the expenses of Hom comics and peripherals.
"It is precisely because Lady Theresa is the granddaughter of the Archbishop that Saint Freya is the most suitable person to be the head of the patrol branch! Only by carefully identifying all the problems here and dealing with them seriously can the other branches be speechless and the patrol operation can be carried out smoothly! Please forgive me for any inconvenience!"
"Ms. Yulandel is right. Besides, Rita also believes that under the wise leadership of Mistress Theresa, Saint Freya must be clean, right?"
The leader and deputy leader of the inspection team spoke one after another, in a businesslike but polite manner.
Then the two leaders of Saint Freya turned even paler.
They knew that those minor problems would not be severely punished, at most they would just be some warnings and fines, but they would definitely be posted in the announcement after this inspection for all Valkyries to watch and comment on.
'My majestic image is over!'
'My flawless resume is over!'
Theresa and Himeko were sweating even more.
At this time, the third leader of the patrol team, Yaesakura, who had just woken up, walked down from the plane step by step, holding a black sword and rubbing the slightly red corners of her eyes.
Then, Theresa was stunned.
"Are you...am I dreaming?"
Theresa blinked blankly, then pinched Ji Zi's waist.
Ji Zi lived up to everyone's expectations and screamed miserably.
"Ow!"
"Theresa, what are you doing!?"
Theresa took a deep breath, rubbed her eyes vigorously, and then said incredulously:
"I'm not dreaming! But why are you...what on earth did grandpa do? This is impossible!"
Theresa was the one who watched Yaesakura and Hidamamaru settle their grudge and disappear together in the Stigmata World.
The scene before her made her feel deeply unbelievable.
Yaesakura looked like she had just woken up, her pretty face flushed with a charming blush, and she gave Theresa a bright smile.
"Long time no see, Theresa."
"Impossible! What on earth is going on?"
"Well, a lot of things have happened. Anyway, I am doing some things for Mr. Otto now, and I am here to help this time. You know I am from five hundred years ago, and I don't understand many things yet. If there is anything I did not do well, please bear with me."
“You’re welcome, you’re welcome… Eh!??”
Theresa responded subconsciously, then held her head in her hands, completely confused and forgetting even about the patrol.
……
At night, Fu Hua walked out of the house alone, using the excuse of digesting food, and came to a corner where few people went at night.
As expected, she soon saw a maid who looked both elegant and solemn, walking out in the moonlight.
"Good evening, Master Fu Hua."
Rita smiled, and the faint fragrance came with the wind, like a bright, tender and delicious rose under the moon.
Fu Hua sighed in understanding, with a look of helplessness on her face, and said:
"Otto's arrangement?"
"That's right. The bishop knows that Miss Kiana's situation has changed, so this time he is ostensibly checking the accounts, but in reality he is observing her changes."
"What else did he confess?"
"He said that Lady Fu Hua can do whatever she wants. As for Miss Kiana, please don't worry, we have brought experts for this situation."
And there is more than one expert.
Yulandel is an expert in suppressing combat power, and Yaezakura's Jizo Soul is even more effective against spiritual will.
With these two people around, nothing will go wrong even if the original restless Silin is still inside Kiana's body.
Fu Hua didn't believe in Otto's character, but she definitely believed in his ability. Since he had already made arrangements, she could put her biggest concern aside for the time being.
"I see what he means. Let me think about it."
Fu Hua said with mixed feelings. Although she didn't want to admit it, she was very grateful for Otto's thoughtfulness this time, and she owed him another favor.
……
"It wouldn't be a bad idea to take Angie back to Taixu Mountain to familiarize herself with the mountain gate and change her mood."
Fu Hua tossed and turned for a long time that night, thinking about An Qi's problem. Although she was unable to come up with a perfect solution due to her limited experience in psychological counseling, at least she came to this conclusion.
Besides, it would be rare for someone to take over her duty to look after Kiana. If she missed it this time, it would be hard to say when she would have the chance next time.
Fu Hua sorted out the current situation and asked An Qi for her opinion early in the morning.
There was no surprise, Angie was surprised but happily agreed.
So, Fu Hua applied for leave from Theresa again.
"Okay, okay, you guys play for two more days and come back when you've had enough fun!"
Theresa is a bit like sending away the plague god.
She is now busy reminiscing with Yaesakura, and even busier dealing with the inquiries from Yulandel and Rita. When she heard Anqi's name while feeling dizzy, she thought of the A-level promotion document that had been entangled her - in one word, headache!
Well, let's get rid of this troublesome little ancestor first. Theresa really doesn't have time to think about those things.
Fu Hua returned home with the leave application form and handed it to An Qi, still a little dazed.
