Chapter 699: Bloodline of the Two Gods

The Northern Territory, Rehe City, the Third Heat Pipe District, and the Aquarius Branch of the Cleanup Bureau.

"Ok?"

Seeing the short female cleaner rubbing her eyes uncomfortably after being sent back to the sofa by a ray of sunshine, the blue-haired old man who was eating could not help but be stunned for a moment, then put down the half-eaten pig's trotter in his hand and asked in surprise:

"Meli? Aren't you going to participate in the Five Palace Selection? Why are you back so soon?"

"I……"

After blinking several times and finally adapting to the bright environment, the female cleaner came to her senses and replied with a complicated expression:
"Originally it wasn't so fast, but the selections for Aquarius and Taurus were cancelled, so I was sent back directly."

The selection for Aquarius and Taurus has been cancelled?

The director of the Aquarius Branch was slightly startled, then he picked up the napkin at his collar and wiped the corners of his mouth, and asked in confusion:
"Why was it cancelled? Did something happen at the headquarters?"

"I'm not sure about Taurus, but Aquarius withdrew from the selection process. It should be because they found the most suitable person and decided not to choose him."

It was just the first round of preliminary selection, and Aquarius had already decided on the successor? Was this round of selection so hasty?
After hearing what Meili said, the blue-haired old man couldn't help but frowned, and then he spoke to comfort her:

"It doesn't matter. With your talent, you have basically secured a position as a director. It doesn't matter if you don't participate in the selection of two palaces... Meili, which palace will you succeed in the future?"

"I...maybe I'm a Sagittarius?"

The female cleaner said uncertainly:
"Aquarius and Taurus are not candidates. I am not the one that Lord Cancer favors the most. Lord Pisces needs two people, but the one assigned to the same position as me is unwilling to take over. I don't think he has much chance, so I am more likely to succeed Sagittarius."

Only selected by Sagittarius? ?

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

"It shouldn't be..."

After mumbling something in confusion, the blue-haired old man asked with doubtful eyes:
"With a talent like yours that only comes once in a thousand years, the directors should be fighting for it. But from what you said, it seems that only Master Sagittarius is satisfied with you?"

"..."

It seems that my talent is indeed rare in a thousand years, but the problem is that this time, there is an "unprecedented" pervert participating in the selection with me!

Recalling the white light that drowned everything in the Cancer Palace, the female cleaner suddenly couldn't hold back. She went to participate in the selection with full confidence. As a result, she personally experienced "If there is Yu, why is there Liang?" and her mouth suddenly shrank, and she said with tears in her eyes:

"Because this time there's a stronger one... uh... he performs better than me in every sign, including Sagittarius.

Although Mr. Sagittarius did not say it directly, I guess if he was not too talented, his "inner self" and will were too strong, and he was not suitable for learning the Sagittarius secret technique, I would not have a chance to be in the Sagittarius Palace.

Also, after he participated in the selection assessment in Cancer Palace, he was forcibly snatched away by Aquarius Palace. Although Mr. Cancer said that I was not bad, he looked at me with a look of disgust... Wow!"

"..."

Alas... this child was too easygoing in the past, and her ability to withstand blows is not good. Looking at the female cleaner who started to cry while talking and was obviously hit hard, the blue-haired old man couldn't help but shook his head helplessly, and then tried to comfort her:
"It's okay, it's okay. Although you didn't win the selection, didn't you get the approval of Mr. Sagittarius? Even if you didn't do the best, you will most likely succeed as the director. Don't be sad... Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

"want!"

The female cleaner wiped the tears from her eyes with her hands, and after howling twice, she felt much better. She picked up a pig's trotter from the plate on the blue-haired old man's table, took a bite viciously, and then hummed a little unconfidently while eating:

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

"It's suitable! It's definitely suitable!"

Seeing his niece chewing the pig's trotter with tears in her eyes, the blue-haired old man couldn't help but touch her head distressedly, and then said kindly:
“The royal blood you inherited from your grandmother is originally a very powerful thing, and when your grandfather married your grandmother, he was already the director of the previous generation of Aquarius.

Therefore, the descendants of your line are born with outstanding talents that are unimaginable to ordinary people. Even if it seems that there is nothing special about you, in fact, the three of you are almost equivalent to the direct bloodline left behind by the union of two true gods.

According to what my uncle knows, among all the members of the Cleanup Bureau, those who have talents comparable to yours can probably be counted on one hand, and there may not be anyone of the same age.

So, Meili, never doubt yourself, you are a natural cleaner!"

"But Leon is better than me..."

"That's him... huh? Leon? That God of Cookery also participated in the selection? You were outdone by him?"

"Yes."

After sniffing hard, the cleaning lady sucked the sauce on her fingers and said with a frustrated look on her face:
"He is also a candidate of the Five Palaces. Not only are the marks of each palace bigger than mine, but even the marks on his arms can fight! And the candidates of each palace are more powerful than me... Uncle Grandpa, does he have any special bloodline?"

"Um... As far as I know, there shouldn't be any."

After recalling the information about the "God of Cookery", the blue-haired old man said with a hint of confusion:
“That person is indeed very strange. Generally speaking, cleaners with good talents are either born with abnormal souls or bodies, or have experienced extremely painful or special pasts, or have obviously different personalities and emotions from ordinary people.

But his file looks quite ordinary, nothing special about him, and it is even more impossible for him to be comparable to you who has two special bloodlines... That's right."

At this point, the blue-haired old man seemed to remember something and asked curiously:

"Meili, the royal blood of Aixito in your body contains the power of 'gluttony', and combined with your grandfather's 'calm' blood, you can eat abnormally and keep yourself. The compatibility between you and Cancer should be unimaginably high.

But I heard you say before that he seemed to have performed much better than you in the selection of the Cancer Palace? Even to the point that the Cancer directors began to dislike you?"

"..."

(iDi)
"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore! I won't ask anymore!"

Looking at his niece who had stopped chewing and whose eyes were red again, the blue-haired old man couldn't help but curse himself inwardly in annoyance. He then brought out a large bowl of steaming thick soup and handed it to her with a smile.

"It's easy to choke if you always eat dry food. My dear granddaughter, drink a few sips of soup first!"
