On the other side,

Jia Bailuo's face had grown so dark it was almost dripping with water.

Though he had long anticipated possible defeat, when the reality truly presented itself, he still found it difficult to suppress the fury in his heart.

"Such useless trash!"

His voice was incomparably icy: "A Totem level couldn't even defeat a Monarch Tier Nine!"

"Such useless trash doesn't deserve to stay by my side! Send him to the front lines!"

Upon hearing his command, the other Totem levels behind him immediately complied.

After venting, Jia Bailuo calmed down.

Now that the matter has happened....

We must find a way to resolve it!

This grand competition winner, Lanny, is clearly closely related to the third heir, Liu Li.

This means she is very likely to choose him or Leia during the challenge round.

Leia is already a Totem level entity, while he still remains at Half-step Totem…

The answer is almost self-evident.

Although he is not afraid of a challenge, to be publicly challenged in front of everyone is tantamount to trampling his dignity on the ground.

This is something he absolutely cannot tolerate!

Just as he was searching for a way to prevent such a situation from happening, an elder silently appeared in front of him—

The Wisdom Angel, also Leia's Guardian!

He slightly bowed, his tone calm yet indisputable:

"Lord Jia Bailuo, Lord Leia requests your presence."

Upon seeing the Wisdom Angel suddenly appear, Jia Bailuo was first taken aback, then seemed to understand something, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Let's go!"

Under the guidance of the Wisdom Angel, Jia Bailuo quickly arrived in front of Leia.

At this moment, Leia's gaze was tightly fixed on Gu Xing not far away,

Even when Jia Bailuo arrived, she did not move her gaze an inch.

Seeing this, Jia Bailuo's face darkened slightly, yet he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction in front of Leia and had to stand silently to the side.

After a long time, Leia slowly turned around, her gaze coldly falling on him:

"What do you think of Lanny and Liu Li?"

She made no detours and directly cut to the theme.

Jia Bailuo snorted coldly, arrogantly said:

"Neither of these two is my opponent! They pose no threat to me!"

Leia, however, was not the least bit polite, harshly rebuking:

"Fool!"

"You—!"

Jia Bailuo's words choked, and anger surged up instantly.

Were it anyone else, he would have struck without hesitation.

But facing Leia...

He didn't dare!

Suppressing his anger, he gritted his teeth and asked back:

"Could any of those two possibly defeat me?"

"Could any of them truly be able to surpass me?"

Leia only cast a faint glance at him, speaking mildly:

"Faced with the Guardian Law and Destruction Law, can you guarantee a one hundred percent victory?"

Upon hearing this sentence, the confidence on Jia Bailuo's face stalled.

To know, these two Laws are exclusive to the Angel God.

Previously, no one in the Angel Realm had ever awakened them.

No one knows to what extent these two Laws can achieve.

His earlier assertion of "certain victory" naturally contained an element of bravado.

Facing Leia's sharp questioning, he fell silent for a time.

Leia, on the other hand, knew clearly:

If Jia Bailuo were eliminated here, after entering the Secret Realm for the trial, she would have to face Liu Li and Lanny alone.

These two were more threatening to her than Jia Bailuo!

That's why, upon the reminder of the Wisdom Angel, she decisively summoned Jia Bailuo.

At this moment Jia Bailuo had also come to his senses, raising his brow and asking:

"Leia, you didn't call me over here just to say these things, did you?"

Jia Bailuo certainly didn't believe Leia was kind enough to remind him of these matters.

Leia's lips curved slightly:

"Of course not! I have a way for you to guarantee a win, will you listen?"

Jia Bailuo's eyes narrowed: "What way?"

Leia sent a glance to the Wisdom Angel,

The elder stepped forward, speaking calmly:

"Our Angel Race has always been governed by five Angels jointly,"

The Wisdom Angel's voice was steady, like an ancient well without ripples, "All matters can be decided by the decision of the five Lords."

Jia Bailuo furrowed his brow slightly: "What does that have to do with me?"

The Wisdom Angel continued:

"The War Angel remains uninvolved, never participating in internal affairs, so it's temporarily irrelevant."

"The Judgment Angel needs to maintain the fairness of the grand competition, and is also inconvenient to participate in the decision."

"Therefore, those who can participate in the decision-making... are only three."

Seeing Jia Bailuo still looking puzzled, the Wisdom Angel had to further explain:

"We can propose a motion to directly disqualify Lanny from challenging you."

"This method cannot be used against the third heir, but dealing with an ordinary Angel without support is not difficult."

"Once passed, you can skip the challenge round and directly start the heir trial."

"Once entering the trial Secret Realm, you only need to team up with Lord Leia to first eliminate the third heir."

Upon hearing this, Jia Bailuo's eyes suddenly brightened—

This way, not only could he avoid battle and save face, but it also complied with the rules, leaving no room for criticism!

"Good, let's do it this way!"

...

Meanwhile.

Liu Ye had originally planned to go directly to see Liu Li.

But just as he took a step, he suddenly stopped.

His gaze fell on his blood-stained battle armor, disheveled wings, and dusty, untidy appearance.

No…

Absolutely cannot meet his daughter in such a sorry state!

Reuniting after a long separation, what if he leaves such an unbearable impression?

As the Angel General, who commands a myriad of troops and whose might shakes the frontier, he was actually troubled by such a small matter at this moment.

He took a deep breath, resolutely turned around, and walked towards a place he had once scorned—

The commercial street.

As he casually stepped into a clothing store, the shopkeeper was already completely stunned:

"Lord Liu Ye?! How could you personally come here…"

Liu Ye, unusually, showed a hint of unease.

He never set foot in such marketplace shops, let alone personally procuring outfits.

After a moment of silence, he spoke in a low voice, "Pick two sets of fitting clothes for me."

The shopkeeper was first stunned, then almost cried out in astonishment.

This was the anchor of the Angel Race, the unrivaled Legend on the battlefield!

To welcome such a customer was an honor he could not even dare to dream of!

To serve him was an immense honor!

"Please wait—no, just thirty minutes! I will immediately send messages to gather the most top-tier designers in the city, guaranteed to present you with the most perfect refined attire!"

He was so excited that his words were incoherent, and even his fingers trembled slightly.

If he could earn the approval of Lord Liu Ye, this small shop would surely become famous in the Holy City!

Therefore, even if he had to pour all his energy and exhaust all his collections, he must do his utmost.

Liu Ye pondered for a moment and eventually nodded in agreement, "Thank you, shopkeeper."

The reunion with his daughter could not afford any sloppiness.

"I dare not!" The shopkeeper's back was almost bent to the ground, "To serve you is an honor I have earned over several lifetimes!"

"Lord Liu Ye, please come with me!"
