The people in the audience hall fell silent because of Lena's question. Just as Su Yu was about to speak, Kesha spoke first: "Su Yu, I hope we can talk about cooperation. Before the Tiangong is "ready", we should all consider it. How about it?"

Su Yu raised his eyebrows, looked at Kesha, and nodded gently. Su Yu was not surprised at all that Kesha would make this suggestion.

"Since you have to consider it, you can't stay here all the time, right? Su Yu, come over to my place first. There are some things I want to ask you in private." He Xi invited Su Yu.

Her words made Kaisha, who was sitting on the throne, look over. However, He Xi's eyes were fixed on Su Yu at this time, and she didn't even look at her old friend.

Su Yu and He Xi exchanged glances. He had previously abandoned He Xi due to a disagreement with Keisha. Now, facing He Xi, he felt somewhat awkward. However, judging by He Xi's attitude, it seemed he didn't care about the previous incident, so Su Yu agreed.

Su Yu and He Xi left the audience hall, while Reina was kept by Kesha. Although Lieyang was destroyed, Reina's status as the main deity remained. Kesha seemed to want to take advantage of the opportunity before Lieyang was rebuilt to re-establish diplomatic relations with the country.

At He Xi's residence, Su Yu sat opposite her in the pavilion. There was tea in front of them, but neither of them had the intention to taste it.

"You don't have anything to say?"

After an indeterminate amount of time of silence, He Xi was the first to speak. She was somewhat dissatisfied with Su Yu's silence.

"What do you want to hear from me?" Su Yu asked, "Do you want me to explain why I sent you back in the first place? I think you should be able to figure this out. You don't need me to explain it to you."

The veins on He Xi's forehead throbbed, and she glared at Su Yu fiercely: "Okay, let's not talk about this matter. What about that little angel Lingxi? Don't you want to avoid contact with people from the angel civilization? Why do you keep her with you?"

In reality, He Xi was thinking, "Why is Lingxi so special? Why can't I be the same?" But she thought if she said that, Su Yu would immediately turn around and walk away without hesitation, so she suppressed her dissatisfaction and swallowed her words.

"Are you talking about Lingxi? That little girl is dull and doesn't have any extra thoughts, so we just let her stay." Su Yu said.

Hearing him say this, He Xi felt like the blood vessels in his forehead were about to burst.

"Su Yu, are you saying that I have impure intentions? Tell me, when I was by your side, did I ever do anything to let you down or betray you?"

"But you revealed the information you saw to Kesha, right?" Su Yu asked back, and with just this one sentence, he directly blocked He Xi's next words.

Seeing the twisted expression on her face, Su Yu chuckled softly, "Okay, I won't argue with you anymore. You don't need to be so rude about Lingxi. At least I don't have any special feelings for her. I just treat her like a little sister. As for your speculations, they won't happen. So don't worry about me losing face by being kidnapped by other little angels after I reject you, the Skybase King."

Su Yu's words made He Xi stunned for a moment. But then her face turned red: "What do you mean by losing face? I don't think so."

He Xi picked up the tea in front of her and drank it without paying attention to the temperature. In fact, her sense of smell had disappeared since she first activated the artificial collapse. The tea she once loved was now tasteless.

"Actually, if you can accept Xiao Lingxi, there's nothing wrong with that."

Putting down the teacup in his hand, He Xi looked at Su Yu and said, "You are right. The new generation of angels is indeed simpler, or even more pure, than our generation. They believe in Kesha's justice and order and constantly strive for it. As for love, they believe that true love will last forever. So if you really like that little girl, you might as well try to accept her."

"You are drinking tea, not wine? How can the tea of ​​angel civilization make people drunk?" Su Yu asked, looking at the teacup in front of He Xi.

"Don't change the subject, I'm serious. You don't have to worry about my face. I've already lived in seclusion anyway, and now I'm not even an angel." He Xi said.

"Didn't I give you a potion that can restore your angel genes? You just need to spend some resources to use that potion to reshape a body, and then transfer your consciousness there, and you will be able to regain your identity as an angel. As for this body now, just seal it up and use it as an anchor bait to lure the Herrscher. In this way, won't you still be the Sky-Base King of the Angel Civilization?" Su Yu said.

He Xi shook his head. "It's been tens of thousands of years, and I'm tired. If it weren't for these troubled times, I really wanted to leave Melotian City and find a suitable planet to live in complete seclusion. This idea isn't just mine, even Kesha has it. If it weren't for you, Kesha might have already logged off."

Su Yu nodded. Indeed, if he had not approached Kesha at the beginning, Kesha might have already found an excuse to log off.

"Okay, I won't try to persuade you any further, since you don't want to hear it anyway. Let's get down to business. I've been feeling like something is watching me lately. Su Yu, is this what you said, a sign that the Herrscher is about to arrive?" He Xi asked.

Hearing He Xi bring up this topic, Su Yu immediately became serious: "The feeling of being watched? Are you sure this isn't an illusion?"

"Hey, don't underestimate me! Even without the genetic engine, I have lived for tens of thousands of years! Is it an illusion? Do you think I can't tell?" He Xi raised his eyebrows, obviously dissatisfied with Su Yu's suspicion.

Su Yu nodded. He also felt that this might not be He Xi's illusion.

"Xukong Wanzang, what do you think is going on?" Su Yu asked Xukong Wanzang in his heart.

"The database doesn't record any instances of the host feeling this way before the Herrscher's arrival. If this incident is indeed related to the Herrscher, it's likely due to changes that occurred after Honkai arrived in this universe. It could also be due to the individual named He Xi having been possessed by the Herrscher's consciousness, and the possibility created by the Herrscher core she now carries." Xu Kong Wanzang responded.

Su Yu looked at the badge He Xi wore on her chest. It was originally crafted by Void Wanzang using the other half of his Corrosion Core. But the Herrer would observe the host before descending? He had never heard such a rumor before.
