Chapter 1370

North, Hot River City, Third Heat Pipe District, Cleaning Bureau Aquarius Branch.

"Hmm?"

Looking at the small female cleaner who was sent back to the sofa by a ray of sunlight and was rubbing her eyes uncomfortably, the blue-haired old man who was eating was stunned, then put down the trotter he had gnawed halfway and asked in surprise:

"Mei Li? Aren't you going to participate in the Five Palace selection? Why are you back so soon?"

"I..."

After blinking continuously several times and finally adapting to the overly bright environment around him, the female cleaner who came back to her senses answered with a complex expression:

"It wasn't supposed to be this fast, but the selections for the Aquarius Palace and Taurus Palace were canceled, so I was sent back directly."

The selections for the Aquarius Palace and Taurus Palace were canceled?

The Director of the Aquarius Branch couldn't help but be stunned, then picked up the napkin at his collar to wipe the corners of his mouth and asked in confusion:

"Why were they canceled? Did something happen at the headquarters?"

"I'm not clear about the Taurus Palace, but the Aquarius Palace withdrawing from the selection should be because they directly found the most suitable person, so they just stopped selecting."

Just the first round of initial selection, and the Aquarius Palace directly decided on the successor? Is this round of selection so sloppy?

After hearing Mei Li's words, the blue-haired old man couldn't help but frown, then comforted:

"It doesn't matter. With your talent, you have basically locked in a director position. It doesn't matter if you participate in two fewer palace selections... Mei Li, which palace will you succeed in the future?"

"I... might be the Sagittarius Palace, right?"

The female cleaner said somewhat uncertainly:

"The Aquarius Palace and Taurus Palace stopped selecting directly. The person Director Cancer is most optimistic about is not me, and Director Pisces needs two people, but the person who was assigned to me is not willing, so I guess there is no chance. So I think the possibility of succeeding the Sagittarius Palace is greater."

Only chosen by the Sagittarius Palace??

After hearing the female cleaner's judgment, the blue-haired old man's brow couldn't help but wrinkle deeper.

"That shouldn't be..."

After muttering a sentence full of confusion, the blue-haired old man asked with full eyes of doubt:

"With your talent that is rare in a thousand years, those few directors should be fighting over you. How come I hear your meaning, as if only Lord Sagittarius is still satisfied with you?"

"......"

My talent seems to indeed be rare in a thousand years, but the problem is that there is also a "precedented" level pervert participating in the selection with me this time!

Recalling the white light that submerged everything in the Cancer Palace, the female cleaner couldn't hold it anymore. She went to participate in the selection full of confidence, but ended up experiencing the "why give birth to me if you give birth to Yu" feeling personally. She couldn't help but pout her lips and tear up:

"Because there was a more amazing one this time... woo... he performed better than me in every palace, including the Sagittarius Palace."

"Although Lord Sagittarius didn't say it directly, I guess if it weren't for his talent being too good, his 'inner' and will being too strong, and not suitable for learning Sagittarius secret arts, I guess there wouldn't even be a share for me in the Sagittarius Palace."

"Also, after he finished the selection assessment in the Cancer Palace and was forcibly snatched away by the Aquarius Palace, although Lord Cancer said I was not bad on the surface, the look in his eyes when he looked at me was particularly disgusted... woo-hoo!"

"......"

Sigh... This child has had it too smooth in the past, and her ability to withstand blows is not good. Looking at the female cleaner who was crying and gnawing on the trotter, the blue-haired old man couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, then tried hard to comfort:

"It's okay, it's okay. Although you didn't beat him in the selection, didn't you get the recognition of Lord Sagittarius? Even if you didn't do the best, you are likely to be able to succeed as a director. Let's not be sad... Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

"Yes!"

After reaching out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes and howling twice, the female cleaner felt much better. She picked up a trotter from the plate on the blue-haired old man's table and bit it fiercely, then hummed somewhat unconfidently while eating:

"Uncle Grandpa, am... sniff... am I really suitable to be a cleaner?"

"Suitable! Definitely suitable!"

Looking at his niece's granddaughter gnawing on the trotter with tears in her eyes, the blue-haired old man couldn't help but touch her head lovingly, then comforted her kindly:

"The royal bloodline you inherited from your grandmother was originally a very amazing thing. And when your grandfather and grandmother got married, he was already the Aquarius Director of the previous generation."

"So the descendants of your line have extraordinary talents that ordinary people can't imagine from birth. Even if it seems like there is nothing special, in reality, the three of you are almost equivalent to the direct bloodline left by two True Gods combined."

"According to what Uncle Grandpa knows, among all the members of the Cleaning Bureau, the number of people whose talent can compare to yours can probably be counted on one hand, and there might not be one of the same age."

"So Mei Li, absolutely do not doubt yourself. You are a natural cleaner!"

"But Leon is better than me..."

"That's him... hmm? Leon? That Food God also participated in the selection? You were compared by him?"

"Yes."

After sniffing hard, the female cleaner sucked the sauce on her fingers and said with frustration:

"He also participated in the Five Palace selection. Not only was the mark of every palace bigger than mine, but the marks on his arms even fought! And he performed better than me in every palace selection... Uncle Grandpa, does he also have any special bloodline?"

"Uh... as far as I know, there shouldn't be."

After recalling the information about that "Food God", the blue-haired old man said with confusion:

"That person is indeed very strange. Generally speaking, cleaners with good talent either have abnormal souls or bodies from birth, or have experienced extremely painful or special pasts, or their personalities and emotions are obviously different from ordinary people."

"But his file looks quite ordinary, and there is nothing particularly different from ordinary people, and it is even more impossible to compare with you who have two special bloodlines... By the way."

When he said this, the blue-haired old man seemed to have remembered something and asked curiously:

"Mei Li, the Aishito royal bloodline in you contains the power of 'Gluttony', plus the 'Calm' bloodline from your grandfather. You should be able to eat anomalies and guard your self. Your compatibility with the Cancer Palace should be unimaginably high."

"But I heard you say before that in the Cancer Palace selection, he seemed to perform much better than you? Even to the point that Director Cancer started to dislike you?"

"......"

(iДi)

"Alright, alright, I won't ask! I won't ask!"

Looking at his niece's granddaughter who stopped chewing food and whose eye circles turned red again, the blue-haired old man couldn't help but curse himself annoyedly, then brought out a large basin of steaming thick soup and handed it over with a smile.

"It's easy to choke if you always eat dry things. Good granddaughter, you drink two sips of soup first!"
