He Xi's Return (Please Vote, Please Invest~)

The three of them were both surprised and delighted by He Wei Lan's situation.

But even in their delight, A Jie had not forgotten his other task.

"Um... Officer Qi Lin, could I trouble you to arrange a meeting with Mr. Mo Xing..."

Seeing the cautious, slightly awkward look on A Jie's face, Qi Lin generously said, "Do you want to invite him to join you?"

"Well..."

A Jie gave an awkward smile and nodded helplessly. "That is indeed the case..."

Neither Emperor Reina nor Rose spoke regarding A Jie's actions.

After all, recruiting people was not something people like them were suited to do.

Qi Lin fell silent instead at A Jie's confirmation.

"I'm sorry..."

Qi Lin stood and apologized to the three of them, immediately making A Jie's heart sink halfway.

Just as A Jie was about to start laying out their terms, Qi Lin smiled. "I can't agree to this on his behalf."

"Although Mo Xing is my boyfriend, and the man I've chosen to spend my life with, that's precisely why I respect his choice..."

The moment Qi Lin said this, the three of them held her in much higher regard.

Rose even muttered inwardly, Just who is that guy? How did he make such a beautiful Police Flower say something like that?

Just as the three of them were marveling at Mo Xing's good fortune in having such an understanding girlfriend as Qi Lin, she smiled and continued, "However, I can arrange a meeting with him for you. Of course..."

Tilting her head, Qi Lin smiled. "No matter what the outcome is, as long as it's his decision, I'll support it."

"Then thank you, Qi Lin Comrade!"

After standing and saluting Qi Lin, A Jie said with a resolute expression, "Just as Qi Lin Comrade said, no matter the outcome, we will likewise support Mr. Mo Xing's choice!"

They had no choice. In the current situation, even if they did not support him, there was nothing they could do.

They simply had no way to deal with Mo Xing!

First, Ge Xiaolun and Liu Chuang had only recently activated their Super Genes, and their combat strength had yet to take shape.

Meanwhile, Mo Xing was clearly already a Third Generation Super Warrior.

With such strength, only Emperor Reina and Wu Kong could subdue him.

Yet it would be inappropriate—or unrealistic—for either of them to make a move!

Take Wu Kong first.

Mo Xing certainly had abilities, but all these years, he had never used his superpowers to cause trouble!

Though he had grown up an orphan and lacked a sense of belonging to the country, he had never used his strength to commit any crimes!

On that point alone, Wu Kong would not move to suppress Mo Xing!

And if they had Emperor Reina make a move, they might as well choose not to disturb Mo Xing at all!

Why?

The reason was simple!

First, Emperor Reina was a Third Generation God. Though most of her abilities had been locked away and sealed, a Third Generation God was still a Third Generation God!

At this point in time, Mo Xing had no way to counter a divine body!

Thus, Emperor Reina could suppress Mo Xing!

But if Mo Xing resisted during the suppression, then a battle between the two would be a disaster for the Zhong Hua Family—and for the entire Earth!

So A Jie could only go along with what Qi Lin had said...

Knowing that Mo Xing had been busy these past few days, Qi Lin promised A Jie, "In a few days, after Mo Xing finishes what he's doing, I'll give you a call. Then you can come and discuss it with him in detail. How about that?"

"Of course, I'll say it again: how he chooses is entirely up to him."

A Jie nodded, then left with Rose and Emperor Reina.

Watching the three of them leave, the smile on Qi Lin's face gradually faded.

"Ah..."

With a soft sigh, Qi Lin said helplessly, "Sure enough, the main reason they came this time wasn't us at all. They came looking for A Xing."

He Wei Lan nodded from beside her. "That's true. They certainly came in force!"

"Especially those girls—they're all so pretty!"

At that, Qi Lin shot her best friend an irritated glare.

"My A Xing won't be tempted by those two women!"

Qi Lin blurted it out without hesitation.

He Wei Lan rolled her eyes helplessly.

"Alright, alright, your A Xing is the best, okay..."

"But that's not what I meant! I'm talking about the terrifying energy coming from that black-haired woman. You felt it too, didn't you...?"

Qi Lin fell silent and nodded.

It had felt like standing before a sun—warm, yet somehow capable of destroying everything...

Shaking her head, Qi Lin cast aside the thought and continued, "Don't tell A Xing about this yet. Once he's done with what he's busy with, he'll come see us."

"Then I'll tell him about what happened today and see what A Xing really thinks~"

As she said that, a trace of confusion appeared in Qi Lin's eyes...

Seeing this, He Wei Lan sighed softly to herself.

She knew her best friend had fallen completely. Her heart already belonged entirely to Mo Xing.

And precisely because of that, Qi Lin had said she would respect Mo Xing's choice.

If it came down to it, did Qi Lin not want Mo Xing to join Super God Academy with her?

She did!

She wanted it very much!

After all, the two of them were practically in the honeymoon phase, and Earth would soon enter a period of war. How could she possibly want to live apart from Mo Xing...

But loving someone did not mean making him conform to her wishes in everything. It meant learning to respect his choices.

So, even though Qi Lin was reluctant deep down, even though her mind imagined both possibilities—Mo Xing agreeing to join and Mo Xing refusing to join—she still chose to respect Mo Xing's decision.

When Du Kao learned that Qi Lin was actually a sniper and could wield God-Slaying No. 1, he was overjoyed!

There was no need to explain the role a sniper played on the battlefield!

Thus, Du Kao immediately began preparing specialized equipment for Qi Lin.

And upon discovering that He Wei Lan's genes contained both Wind and Thunder attributes, he immediately figured out her role!

Only then did Du Kao realize that today had brought rather a lot of surprises...

In the blink of an eye, three days passed...

Over those three days, A Jie took Rose around everywhere, using all sorts of excuses to trick the other members of Super God Academy into joining the team one by one.

And on that very day, the Creation Jade Plate told Mo Xing that the research had been completed.

But just as Mo Xing excitedly wanted to find his Qi Lin and celebrate, he opened the door and saw a familiar figure preparing to knock on his door...

"Yo~ kid, I didn't expect us to be so in sync~"

Mo Xing looked irritably at the Old Aunt before him and said with great displeasure, "What are you here for? Didn't I already give you a drop of blood?"

Yet the annoyed Mo Xing failed to notice the flicker of awkwardness in He Xi's eyes...
