Angel Yan's Conjecture and Verification

Scenes from her memories replayed in Angel Yan's mind from time to time.

She recalled the time when she first entered the Merlot Heavenly Court and openly and secretly resisted Queen Keisha due to her disagreement with the Justice Order and the Gene Matching system.

Having grown up in the Du Ren Empire within the Angel Nebula, she had grown up listening to the legends of Angels. It wasn't until she was nearly an adult that Angels suddenly descended and brought her back to the Merlot Heavenly Court. Only then did she learn that her mother, whom she had never met, was an Angel...

Having grown up in the Du Ren Empire, a kingdom composed of mortals, Angel Yan's beliefs naturally leaned towards her previous understanding when she first arrived at Amagi. The justice of Angels originated from a divine perspective, and from a mortal's point of view, it did not align with mortal perceptions of justice.

Similarly, she initially disagreed with the Angel Gene Matching system. After all, in her opinion, love should be noble, beautiful, and free! Why should her own partner be decided by a string of numbers rather than her own judgment...

Her dissatisfaction caused Angel Yan to repeatedly retort to Keisha back then. It also earned Angel Yan two punishments of abstinence.

Later, after accompanying other Angel seniors on missions to execute justice multiple times, she witnessed the difference in perspectives between mortals and Angels. She also heard from her seniors that most Angels who had freely chosen their partners before the Gene Matching system was implemented in Amagi had met tragic ends. Gradually, Angel Yan began to accept Queen Keisha's ideology and the Gene Matching system.

Her attitude gradually shifted, becoming unwavering in her support for Queen Keisha's justice system!

Angel Yan's memories froze on the moment from years ago when she had lodged a protest with Keisha, and Keisha, looking disappointed, had sent her for her second period of abstinence.

Angel Yan remembered very clearly that Queen Keisha's expression at the time was a mixture of disappointment and a hint of complexity. It was as if she felt she had trusted Angel Yan greatly, but Angel Yan had betrayed that trust...

"After I protested to the Queen back then, she seemed very disappointed in me and forcefully suppressed my protest, but did she actually remember it?"

Angel Yan thought of the message Queen Keisha had sent her not long ago, the one that allowed her to act according to her own heart.

"So, the Queen actually intended to betroth me to this man from another universe, but because she considered my feelings, she told me to follow my own heart instead?"

To confirm whether her guess was correct was simple. Before Queen Keisha betrothed an Angel, she would conduct a data match for the corresponding Angel, and the results would be recorded in the data matching system. The matched Angel could also access the data matching system to view their matching data. Therefore, she only needed to enter the system and take a look! Although she could only see her own matching data, it was enough!

Angels rarely accessed the Gene Matching system. Generally, only Angels who intended to 'descend' would enter the data matching system to see who their most compatible soulmate was. Other Angels who did not have such needs did not need to check these.

Angel Yan connected to the Sacred Knowledge Repository, entered the Gene Matching system, and retrieved her matching data.

Then... Angel Yan saw the astonishingly high matching data: 91.2%, with the matching object being... Su Luo, the visitor from another universe she was currently observing.

The matching occurred not long ago! The person who performed the matching was her own teacher, Queen Keisha!

The evidence was already sufficient. According to the data, Su Luo was undoubtedly her soulmate, but Queen Keisha, considering her feelings, had told her to follow her own heart...

Angel Yan, feeling that she had guessed her teacher's intentions, showed a hint of emotion on her face.

"Queen Keisha..."

Angel Yan silently murmured her Queen's name, recalling all the tender moments she had shared with her Queen in the past. If Keisha were by her side now, she would probably throw herself into Keisha's arms and express her reverence and affection for her teacher.

After reminiscing for a while, Angel Yan once again thought of the notification from Keisha about Angel Zhixin, who would soon arrive to take over her mission.

Combining this with her recent deductions, Angel Yan quickly figured out why Keisha had notified Zhixin to take over her current observation mission.

"The Queen originally intended to betroth me to Su Luo, but she realized I might resist, and since Su Luo is important, she arranged for Zhixin to come as a backup for insurance purposes?"

"If I showed no interest in Su Luo, would the Queen then betroth Zhixin to Su Luo?"

Angel Yan felt both touched and guilty.

The touch was for her Queen, and the guilt was for Zhixin.

After all, her matching data with Su Luo had reached an unprecedented 91.2%, a match rate never seen since the implementation of the Gene Matching system. In the past, Angels with a match rate of 70 or higher were considered high! Therefore, Angel Yan did not believe Zhixin's matching rate would be higher than hers.

"So... in the matching conducted by the Queen, I am the most compatible with Su Luo, and Zhixin is the second most compatible? That's why she arranged for Zhixin to come as a substitute..."

"In other words, if I refuse, Zhixin would be arranged to marry Su Luo..."

Angel Yan pondered, and after clarifying the logic, her guilt towards Zhixin deepened.

She felt as if Zhixin was like a trash can, and whatever she didn't want, her teacher would prepare to discard for Zhixin.

Angel Yan felt grateful for her teacher's pampering but also somewhat indignant on Zhixin's behalf.

As both were Queen Keisha's Sacred Wings, her relationship with Zhixin was naturally good. During their usual playful conversations, she had learned about Zhixin's requirements for her future soulmate. She also knew that Zhixin wanted to be with the bravest man in the entire universe...

She had observed Su Luo for so long. She had seen his kind and gentle personality, and she hadn't failed to notice his bravery, but she didn't think it could be equated with the phrase "bravest in the entire universe."

Sighing, Angel Yan, who believed she had understood everything, smiled.

She believed that the truth of the matter was exactly as she had imagined. After all, she understood her teacher's personality. As the Angel Queen, she was proud yet a bit tsundere. It was normal for her not to openly display such care for her disciple.

Shaking her head, Angel Yan once again focused her gaze on Su Luo on the planet below.

Previously, she had observed Su Luo with the same mindset as observing any other unfamiliar target. Now, Angel Yan, having "understood" Keisha's intentions, decided to follow her Queen's hint and observe Su Luo from the perspective of observing a potential soulmate, according to her own heart!

Having no objections to the data matching results, and even being surprised by such a high figure, she had already made certain decisions in her heart. She was determined not to let her dear friend Zhixin become her substitute, allowing Zhixin to continue searching for the bravest man in the universe, as she perceived him!

Keisha had chosen to treat her gently. As Keisha's disciple, she wanted, or rather, she should, pass on this gentleness!

(Angel Yan: My teacher must have thought this way. My teacher truly loves me! I'm so touched!!! Keisha: No, I didn't. I'm not. Don't speak nonsense!)
