Chapter 107 Farewell, the first fish is hooked!
Blue Star, Floating Island.
Li Yao finished his research on vector space and slowly walked out of the sealed room.
He had just stepped outside when he received a secret communication from He Xi.
He Xi urged him to arrange for Angel Yan to return to Tiancheng as soon as possible to oversee the situation and stabilize the turbulent Mero Heavenly Court.
The subtext is: get Angel Yan back to relieve you of your shift as soon as possible.
Seeing this, Li Yao did not delay and immediately issued an order to summon all the angels on the floating island.
A moment later, in the open space outside the villa, stood more than twenty angels in neat rows, their silver armor gleaming, forming a snow-white expanse in the sunlight.
Angel Yan, Zhi Xin, Angel Leng, Angel Zhui, and Mo Yi stood at the front, their eyes all fixed on Li Yao as he walked out.
Li Yao stood in front of the crowd, his gaze sweeping over the angels, and said in a calm tone, "Everyone, I plan to have Sister Yan take Sister Zhui and Sister Mo Yi back to Tiancheng first."
"Sister Yan will temporarily assume the position of commander of the Angel Legion and temporarily handle all affairs of the Heavenly Court of Merlo to stabilize the situation at the rear."
No sooner had the words been spoken than a clear and resolute voice suddenly rang out.
"No!"
Everyone was stunned and turned to look at them.
Angel Chase blushed, realizing she had overreacted, and lowered her head, muttering softly, "What I mean is... Sister Yan is gone, we'll stay..."
"I disagree. If we're going back, we'll go back together."
Angel Yan also stepped forward and directly rejected the arrangement.
"You were chosen by Queen Keisha as her successor, the rightful heir to the Angel King. Now that the Queen has fallen and the Heavenly Court is in turmoil, you should return to the Heavenly City with me, ascend the throne immediately, and stabilize the entire Angelic Civilization."
Angel Yan's words also reflected the sentiments of the other angels present.
In their hearts, Li Yao's status was already set, and only his ascension to the throne would be what everyone hoped for.
Li Yao gently shook his head: "It's not the right time yet."
"Queen Keisha has fallen. Logically, she must have left a will beforehand to pass on her throne and make arrangements for her affairs. But to this day, none of the angels have received a clear instruction to pass on their throne. This may be related to the damage to the sacred treasury."
The angels looked at each other in bewilderment.
The angel frowned and said, "That is indeed strange. Why didn't the Queen make arrangements in advance?"
In her eyes, Queen Keisha had always acted meticulously and thoroughly, and had never made a mistake.
But how come there are no arrangements for such a momentous event concerning the succession to the throne and the continuation of civilization?
Could the message have been intercepted?
Li Yao continued, "This means that apart from all of us present, the vast majority of angels in Heavenly City, and even the forces of the heavens, do not know that I am the next King of Angels."
"I am still young, inexperienced, and lack prestige. I have no record of achievements that can command respect throughout the universe. If I were to rashly return to the throne now, not only would I fail to control the situation, but I might also cause even greater turmoil."
At this point, he looked at the angel Yan, whose expression was moved, and said gently and affectionately, "So, the most suitable person right now is you, Sister Yan."
"According to procedure, with the Queen's unexpected demise, it should have been your turn, as a left-wing member, to return and take charge."
"Once you fully inherit the sacred treasury of knowledge, you will be able to unlock all of the Queen's information and last words. Only then will my identity be fully revealed to the entire angelic civilization."
"As for me, I need to stay on Earth and achieve a top-tier victory that can awe the heavens. Only then can I return to Heaven to ascend the throne and win the hearts and minds of all the angels, leaving no one to dare to object."
Li Yao's sincere words were all made with the angel civilization in mind.
Everyone present was deeply moved upon hearing this.
Aside from Zhi Xin, she kept secretly pursing her lips.
With the Heavenly King, Teacher, presiding over Tiancheng, how could chaos possibly arise?
It must have been the teacher who sent the junior student to trick Sister Yan into going back to Tiancheng and switching her class.
However, the junior brother is also a big bad guy; both of them are the type to wash their hands of the business.
Oh, poor Yan-jie, once you go back, don't even think about coming out again.
Zhi Xin could already foresee the dreaded life of her beloved Yan in her next life.
Angel Yan was silent for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Even so, I can't leave you on Earth. It's too dangerous."
"Sister Yan, trust me, nothing will happen." Li Yao looked at her earnestly.
"I trust you, but that doesn't mean I'm at ease." Angel Yan was still full of concerns and hesitated to give a straight answer.
Angel Leng, who couldn't stand it any longer, stepped forward and said, "Yan, don't worry, I will protect this tyrant with my life."
Upon hearing this, Angel Yan subconsciously looked at Zhi Xin.
Zhi Xin blushed. Oh no, she'd been exposed.
Li Yao's lips twitched: "Sister Leng, what do you mean by a tyrant..."
"Shut up."
After several rounds of back-and-forth and stalemate, Angel Yan finally relented and reluctantly agreed to return to Tiancheng, but immediately put forward her own arrangements: "I can go back, but A-Zhui and Mo Yi will stay."
"I alone can stabilize the situation in Tiancheng. The two of them are top-notch in combat and act prudently. Staying by your side will protect you."
Angel Chase and Moy nodded emphatically, their eyes filled with unwavering determination.
Li Yao shook his head and said, "Sister Yan, no."
He really wanted to say, "Yan, don't you realize your own situation? Without A-Zhui and Mo Yi's help, dealing with the high-ranking angels alone will be difficult."
Another round of back and forth.
Looking at Li Yao, who was earnestly trying to persuade her, Angel Yan felt both heartache and admiration.
Despite his young age, he is more composed and wise than anyone else, always considering the big picture.
In the end, she couldn't resist Li Yao's insistence and nodded: "Okay, I'll take them back with me. But you promise me you won't be reckless, you won't take risks, you won't..."
"Okay, okay," Li Yao interrupted her with a laugh. "I'm not a three-year-old."
Angel Yan rolled her eyes at him, stepped forward, gently opened her arms, and embraced him.
Li Yao was taken aback, then reached out and wrapped his arms around her slender waist.
"When you return to Tiancheng," Angel Yan whispered in his ear, "I have something very important to tell you in person."
"What did you say?"
"I can't say now."
Angel Yan released him, took a step back, her eyes slightly red but a smile on her lips.
Seeing this, Li Yao did not ask any further questions.
Before leaving, Angel Yan looked at the other angels and solemnly said, "Everyone, I entrust Li Yao to you. I will await your triumphant return in Heavenly City."
"Yes!" all the angels replied in unison.
Angel Yan turned around and spread her wings.
Angel Chase and Mo Yi each glanced at Li Yao: "Take care of yourselves."
Li Yao nodded: "You too."
Then, three streaks of silver light streaked across the sky and flew into outer space.
Li Yao watched them disappear and was about to lead everyone back to their rooms when he suddenly stopped.
He seemed to sense something, and the smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by a hint of coldness.
"The first fish has taken the bait."
Hearing this, Zhi Xin asked curiously, "What kind of fish?"
Li Yao did not answer.
He raised his head, his gaze piercing through the clouds, looking towards a certain direction in the starry sky.
A powerful aura is rapidly approaching from there.
