There are relic guards in the City of Sumeru!
Upon hearing this news, Cyno and Tighnari panicked.
It's not easy to mess with the relic guards!
Although it's not difficult to deal with them, when such a huge assassin appears in the city, it can have disastrous consequences!
When they rushed back to the City of Sumeru, they saw the relic guard from a distance.
What surprised both of them was that there was indeed a person in the hands of the relic guard!
The group of thirty people surrounding him regarded him as the leader but did not dare to act rashly.
It seemed like a standoff at that moment.
"I think I've explained everything very clearly, Mr. Ruksha!"
"This relic guard is under my control; it's very safe!"
"I'm a junior scholar from the Miao Lun Sect, and I want to take you to my laboratory for research!"
Ayexia was in the hands of the relic guard and explained to the group of thirty people below.
However, Lukesha, the commanding officer of the thirty-member regiment, didn't listen to any of it.
"Don't lie; how can a young academic have their own research room?"
"Get down immediately and be interrogated!"
Although the thirty-member regiment was composed only of mercenaries with little education, they still knew the ranks of the Holy Order in the City of Sumeru.
Junior scholars are the lowest level of scholars, and most of them are looking for topics in their field and preparing papers.
With such a precious resource in the research room, it's impossible for junior scholars to have their turn.
Before Ayexia could explain, someone exclaimed.
"She's Ayexia, who married a Khaenri'ah!"
"That's right! She has the Eye of God!"
"It seems the rumors are true! Ayexia reported about Karati, and the Holy Order will compensate her with the right to use a research laboratory!"
"Hey, as expected, if you have the Eye of God, you will be valued by the Academy!"
"As expected of the number one beauty of the Miaolun School, she is really beautiful, but it's a pity she married an old monster."
"It's really enviable and lamentable."
"…"
Numerous voices of envy and admiration could be heard from all sides, and of course, some disgusting comments as well.
Ayexia didn't care about this gossip.
She is not the type of person who cares about what others say; she is a scholar.
Rational thought tells her that only she knows whether she is happy or not.
The reality is that she is willing to give up everything just to gain the favor of Ye Xi, even if it's a tiny fraction.
And now she has gotten what she wanted; she is very happy.
As long as she feels happy, she doesn't care what others think.
"Mr. Lukesha, now you understand; I have my own research room."
Upon hearing the comments around him, Lukesha also understood Ayexia's identity.
However, involving the relic guards in the City of Sumeru is very risky!
"Ayexia, get down now! This thing is very dangerous!"
"This is the guardian of the ruins!"
"You're still young; you can't understand!"
Ayexia was speechless.
She realized that trying to argue with these mercenaries wouldn't work.
At that moment, a voice came from the side: "This is indeed a relic guard under control."
"Huh? It's Mr. Tighnari and General Mahamatra!"
Lukesha was surprised for a moment, but he didn't expect these two to come together to the City of Sumeru.
Tighnari stepped forward to take a closer look and explained: "All attacks from this relic guard are blocked, and theoretically, there is no threat."
"I'm just curious, where did you get such a new self-discipline organization?"
Ayexia placed her hands on her hips triumphantly and said with a smile: "It was given to me by my master."
"Gift?"
Tighnari pondered this.
This relic guard is the self-discipline agency of Khaenri'ah. A machine this new must require Khaenri'ah technology!
He carefully observed that this mechanical bearing is new and that the oil contained in it is free of dirt, unlike the original, and there's no possibility of it being stored for hundreds of years.
In other words, the master in front of the girl is probably a relative of Khaenri'ah.
He recalled that the Master Ye Xi mentioned by Collei was from Khaenri'ah.
"Are you referring to Master Ye Xi?"
"Yes."
Tighnari didn't expect to find someone close to Ye Xi there and hurriedly asked: "Do you know any news about Collei?"
"I am her master. She left suddenly last night; maybe she went to find Ye Xi."
"So it turns out that Mr. Tighnari is Collei's master."
Ayexia suddenly realized, smiled, and said: "Don't worry; Collei is very nice."
"Now that she has cured the devil scale disease, she might return to the forest soon."
"Just now, she said she was looking for you."
Tighnari sighed in relief upon hearing this.
Collei is fine.
However, the fact that the magical scale disease was cured was truly beyond his expectations.
He must find Collei immediately to determine the situation.
Seeing Ayexia surrounded by thirty people, Tighnari suggested to Cyno, who was next to him: "I'll go back to the forest to find Collei! Cyno, please escort Miss Ayexia."
"Really?"
Cyno was taken aback; he was too lazy to deal with such troublesome matters.
But if he thought about it, with him escorting her, the people in the city wouldn't be scared and flee.
Moreover, Tighnari's eyes made it hard for him to refuse.
Cyno sighed: "I really can't do anything with you…"
"Okay, I'll take her to the Academy…"
Tighnari nodded and then set off in the direction of Huacheng Guo.
This scene caught Ayexia's attention, and she immediately felt a little strange.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that Cyno's eyes seemed a little affectionate.
Even though Tighnari and Cyno were helping her, why did she feel there was something strange between these two?
Upon hearing what Cyno said, the mercenaries of the thirty-member regiment were all very surprised.
"What? General Mahamatra is willing to take responsibility for her!"
"Surely, people with the Eye of God will favor their companions."
"Even that impersonal General Mahamatra is willing to present himself!"
"It seems she really changed her fate through the Khaenri'ah!"
Lukesha now had no more reason to stop.
This is General Mahamatra!
