Tian Shi Zhui, faced with Tian Shi Yan's explanation, was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Well, I did leave Mo Yi out there yesterday as well, so I guess I don't have the right to blame Yan Jie," Tian Shi Zhui conceded.
"How about we go out and check?" Tian Shi Zhui suggested cautiously. She felt a bit guilty for not looking out for her comrade, especially since Mo Yi had been following Tian Shi Yan for over two thousand years.
"Alright, let's go then," Tian Shi Yan agreed.
Since they needed to go out anyway and Mo Yi had likely already taken the fall, Tian Shi Yan was no longer worried.
The two of them opened the door and went outside. Instead of encountering any awkward scenes, they were surprised to see Zhang Zheng and Tian Shi Mo Yi interacting in an unexpectedly harmonious manner.
Zhang Zheng was talking about something while Tian Shi Mo Yi looked at him with admiration, sometimes covering her mouth with a shy smile and at other times, her face glowing.
"Mo Yi, good morning, God Zhang," Tian Shi Zhui greeted politely, despite not fully understanding the situation.
"Good morning, Ah Zhui," Zhang Zheng and Tian Shi Mo Yi replied almost simultaneously. They exchanged a knowing glance.
Mo Yi lowered her head in slight embarrassment, her face flushed, while inwardly lamenting the coincidence.
As for Zhang Zheng, with his thick skin, he couldn't help but give a sheepish smile, feeling a bit awkward about the melodramatic situation unfolding around him.
"Wow, quite the tacit understanding," Tian Shi Yan teased.
Without waiting for their responses, she continued, "Mo Yi, Ah Zhui, let's go out today to investigate Morgana's whereabouts."
"She has upgraded to a fourth-generation divine body. Using mere Insight Eye won't capture her movements anymore."
She then turned to Zhang Zheng with a serious expression and said, "God Zhang, if we encounter Morgana's pursuit, we might need your help, because we alone can't handle Morgana and make a clean escape."
Zhang Zheng, seeing Tian Shi Yan's serious demeanor, knew it wasn't the time for jokes. Unlike in the original story, where the angels weren't sure if Morgana would appear on Earth, they now suspected that Morgana might indeed show up on Earth due to Zhang Zheng's involvement.
Morgana might have guessed that her presence had been exposed, so if she found angels on Earth, she might attack them directly. Especially since Tian Shi Yan was a left-wing guard, the chances of Morgana attacking her were even higher.
"Don't worry. As long as you're with me, I'll ensure your safety until Queen Kaisha arrives or you return to Angel City," Zhang Zheng reassured. He then added, "My communicator is also connected to your angelic network, so I'll be there at the first sign of trouble."
Tian Shi Yan, hearing Zhang Zheng's words, didn't waste any more time and directly said, "Then I'll leave it to you."
She then turned to Tian Shi Zhui and Tian Shi Mo Yi and said, "Ah Zhui, Mo Yi, let's set off now." With that, she transformed from her sexy nightgown into the red skirt and silver armor of an angel warrior.
Zhang Zheng watched as the transformation happened, not sure what to think. After they left, he returned to the table and quickly cleaned up the remaining food.
At the Super God Academy cafeteria.
"Have you heard? Brother Zheng has three beautiful and cute angel girls staying at his place," Zhao Xin whispered to Ge Xiaolun, Liu Chuang, and Cheng Yaowen, with a gossip-filled expression.
"Really? Hey, Xin Ge, who told you this? I didn't know about it," Ge Xiaolun asked incredulously, though he was clearly intrigued.
"Xiaolun, don't listen to Zhao Xin's nonsense. He's been training with us these days. If he knew something, we would have known too," Liu Chuang said, clearly skeptical and dismissive of Zhao Xin's claims.
"Exactly. Xiaolun, don't forget, Xin Ge's mouth is notoriously unreliable," Cheng Yaowen added, also taking a jab at Zhao Xin.
"What? Don't doubt me. I overheard General Dukao and Sister Lena talking on the phone, and I got the news. It's a five-star reliable source," Zhao Xin said, feeling frustrated at his companions' skepticism. He regretted sharing the gossip with them.
"When did this happen? So, Brother Zheng really has three angel girls living with him?" Liu Chuang asked, now believing the news, especially since it came from Dukao and Lena.
"I heard it was just a few days ago, and the angel girls came to him on their own. I'm so envious! When will I get such treatment?" Zhao Xin lamented, feeling that he was a handsome guy deserving of attention from goddesses.
Ge Xiaolun and the others were already used to Zhao Xin's shamelessness.
"Hey, Xin Ge, do you think the angel girls are involved with Brother Zheng? How come they're all living together?" Liu Chuang whispered, his face showing a lewd smile that made others uncomfortable.
"Chuang, you've been around. If they're living together, do you think Brother Zheng won't make a move?" Zhao Xin said with a hint of malice, winking and giving a knowing look that suggested he was an expert in such matters.
Ge Xiaolun felt a chill from the conversation, sensing an influx of ill-willed thoughts.
"By the way, Xiaolun, why aren't you saying anything? What do you think about Brother Zheng and the angels? Are you envious like us?" Zhao Xin asked when he noticed Ge Xiaolun's silence.
"Uh, Xin Ge, I'm not interested in Brother Zheng and the angels. I'm more interested in how to pursue Rose," Ge Xiaolun said. Despite failing to confess last time, he had gained some courage.
"Xiaolun, why don't you try confessing to Rose again? Maybe last time it didn't work because there were too many people, and Rose was too shy," Liu Chuang suggested, offering advice.
Ge Xiaolun considered Liu Chuang's suggestion reasonable but was still a bit unsure, recalling how Liu Chuang had previously led him astray. He then looked to Zhao Xin and Cheng Yaowen for their input.
"Yeah, Chuang's suggestion makes sense. Rose is a girl, so it's normal for her to be shy. You could ask her out for a romantic confession," Cheng Yaowen said sincerely, as if he thought his advice was quite valuable.
"Right, right. Xiaolun, this time make it a private, romantic confession. I'm sure it will work," Zhao Xin chimed in, offering his support and promising to help if needed.
Ge Xiaolun, seeing the enthusiastic support from the three, felt hopeful and agreed to try again. However, he seemed to forget that the three advisors were also single.
