Qiao Xing's actions stunned many of the believers.
These ordinary yet powerful words made these believers feel as if they had found their backbone.
Praying seemed to have become a matter of course.
The believers gradually restrained their flustered emotions and stood up to follow Qiao Xing.
"Yes, Lord Qiao Xing."
Qiao Xing nodded to the cloaked man beside him, and the cloaked man also made a "please" gesture to him.
Then, he stood to the side and quietly enjoyed Qiao Xing's prayer.
He even used a mechanical voice to comment on Qiao Xing.
"Dawn is right beside us!
Mr. Qiao Xing is really an amazing believer, serving the Holy Light all the time. "
"You flatter me!"
The prayer finally began, and Qiao Xing led the believers to pray devoutly.
Qiao Xing's will gradually began to influence the hearts of the believers.
They gradually calmed down, and everything seemed to be back on track.
This prayer, from the initial chaos, gradually became orderly.
The prayers in unison formed rows of golden runes that began to wander around the church.
The cloaked man looked at this incredible scene and slowly straightened his body.
He began to imitate these ordinary believers, slowly closed his eyes and began to pray:
"Dawn, will it really be with me?"
…
In the evening, Qiao Xing returned to his home in the parish, somewhat tired.
He went to work as soon as he came back, and of course, he was tired after a whole day of work.
Especially when it came to leading a group of people to pray, he usually left it to others and did nothing!
"Ah! I'm so tired, I'm back! "
As soon as Qiao Xing entered the house, the unfinished dinner in Li Lan's hands fell to the ground.
The air froze, and Qiao Xing felt that something was wrong. Why was his wife looking at him like that?
Was there something wrong with his appearance?
Qiao Xing hesitated for a moment, then used a softer voice to shout again, "You're right.
"Eh, I'm back!"
This time, Li Lan finally reacted. She burst into tears and threw away the bowl in her hand.
After coming to her senses, she immediately rushed forward and threw herself into Qiao Xing's arms.
"Damned thing, you still know to come back?"
Li Lan was so happy that she cried. She first punched Qiao Xing a few times, but she found that she was not strong enough.
She quickly touched Qiao Xing's face to make sure that her husband was not in disguise.
Li Lan buried her head in Qiao Xing's arms and burst into tears.
As the wife of the Archbishop of the East Ring District, Li Lan had always maintained her absolute rationality and conscience.
She was already prepared to raise Qiao Xiaomi by herself if something happened to Qiao Xing one day.
Li Lan liked to fantasize. She would often think about things that didn't happen.
For example, what if Qiao Xing died in a battle one day?
Maybe it was a battle with a mutant, such as the rumor of a nightmare?
Maybe it was a dispute between the Inner Ring District and the Fourth Ring District, or a war with the Hunter Group!
Maybe it was some kind of shameful conspiracy, an assassination by those guys in the Inner Ring!
Qiao Xing had never told her these things, nor had he exposed her to these possible filthy things.
But Li Lan felt that she was a very mature woman. A mature woman should think about mature things.
Every day, in addition to buying groceries, cooking, and washing clothes, as the wife of the Archbishop of the East Ring District, these things needed to be considered in advance.
She even thought that if something happened to Qiao Xing one day.
She must raise Qiao Xing well, then teach her swordsmanship, and finally avenge Qiao Xing!
Why a series? Because she had thought of all kinds of scripts.
A series to avenge her father.
A series to replace Qiao Xing as the Archbishop of the East Ring District.
A series to protect the Fourth Ring District.
There were many more. It had to be said that although Li Lan was a housewife.
But because it was too boring, the hole in her brain was still quite big.
Although there were many strange ideas, when Qiao Xing left the Fourth Ring District for such a long time.
Li Lan realized that she was far from being as strong as she thought.
It could even be said that she was fragile.
Sometimes, she cried silently at home. It was Qiao Xiaomi who comforted her that she could get through it.
Only after experiencing this did Li Lan understand how big of a blow Qiao Xing's departure was to their small family.
After all, Qiao Xing was the backbone of this family.
After Qiao Xing left, she was a little out of her wits no matter what she did.
Things like putting the wrong salt, putting the wrong salt, and putting too much salt happened from time to time, so much so that Qiao Xiaomi was a little dissatisfied with her.
And after Qiao Xing left, Qiao Xiaomi became a little quiet.
This was also something that Li Lan had always been worried about. She was afraid that her daughter would grow up to have problems.
Luckily, the backbone of their family was back today.
"Daddy!"
An emotional shout came from the staircase on the second floor.
Qiao Xiaomi flew towards Qiao Xing and was then carried by Qiao Xing in his arms!
"Wuwuwu, you're finally back. Why are you only back now?"
Qiao Xing saw that Qiao Xiaomi was crying so hard that her vision was blurred. Steel … can't be called a tough guy, right? His heart ached for her.
After all, she was his most beloved daughter!
"Yes, I'm back."
Qiao Xing pressed his lips against Qiao Xiaomi's forehead and kissed her fiercely.
The joy of reuniting after a long time gave him a different feeling. Happiness and warmth.
But very quickly, Qiao Xing couldn't feel any warmth.
Because of Qiao Xiaomi's words, he almost became autistic!
"Wuwuwu! Dad, my mom kept saying that you were dead. I thought you were really dead! "
Qiao Xiaomi cried loudly, but what she said was very problematic.
Li Lan was already stunned. She didn't even know if she should defend herself at this moment.
Air was most afraid of sudden silence. Even old couples like Qiao Xing and Li Lan were no exception.
"Wretched girl, what are you saying? When did I say that your dad is dead? "
Li Lan was furious. She felt that her daughter was framing her.
Was it because she didn't cook well during this period of time, so she wanted to change her mother?
Qiao Xiaomi secretly turned her head, revealing only one of her eyes. She said with certainty,
She said with certainty, "You've been writing in your little notebook every night. What should I do if Old Qiao is dead?
You've written at least 20 different answers about how you should raise me. Aren't you cursing my dad to be dead? "
Seeing Qiao Xiaomi's powerful words, Li Lan was speechless.
"You little girl, peeking at my things …"
At this moment, Qiao Xing stopped Li Lan and hugged both mother and daughter.
"Forget it. Anyway, I'm not dead. There's no need to continue this topic.
I think that if I'm not dead, your mom won't dare to remarry. "
"Qiao Xing, you're talking nonsense!"
Li Lan twisted in Qiao Xing's arms, trying to break free from Qiao Xing's hands.
However, if Qiao Xing could be broken away by an ordinary woman, then he wouldn't be the Archbishop of East Huan.
"Uh, excuse me, is there any food?"
Li Lan was obviously surprised by the sudden interruption of other voices in the family's joyous and harmonious atmosphere.
She quickly turned her head and looked behind Qiao Xing. She saw the guy in a cloak standing at the door of Qiao Xing's house.
He was the one who said those words just now!
"Sorry, I didn't know that Old Qiao brought a guest home. I'm really sorry. I'll go prepare dinner now."
"Sorry to trouble you, Madam!"
The cloaked man's voice was a little strange, and his behavior was also a little strange. He was very polite.
According to Qiao Xing's temper, he shouldn't like this kind of polite person.
This cloaked man was so polite. Qiao Xing should hate him, right? Why didn't Old Qiao say anything?
When Li Lan was puzzled, Qiao Xing also spoke.
"What are you still looking at? Don't you see that there are guests? Hurry up and prepare dinner. "
Li Lan gave Qiao Xing a look that said, "Just you wait, I'll teach you a lesson tonight." Then she turned around and went back to prepare dinner.
Qiao Xing hugged Qiao Xiaomi and said to the cloaked man behind him,
"Since you're here, just walk around."
"Okay!"
The cloaked man walked into Qiao Xing's house. After he took off his hat, Qiao Xiaomi, who was lying in Qiao Xing's arms, narrowed her eyes.
"Dad, this person is a, a …"
Before Qiao Xiaomi could finish speaking, Noah, who had revealed his face, bowed to the little girl.
"Hello, Miss Qiao Xiaomi. My name is Noah. I'm a robot."
No matter how dense Qiao Xiaomi's nerves were, she still knew the name Noah.
This was because regardless of whether it was the education she received from the Alliance since she was young, or the Church's propaganda about the Wisdom Machine Crisis and the threat of intelligent items.
She had heard of this name before, and she had heard it countless times.
Noah! The Wisdom Machine King, the source of disaster, the destroyer of mankind.
Many titles applied to a mutant, which in itself represented how terrifying this mutant was.
In the hearts of all the Alliance members, Noah was much scarier than the Nightmare. It was more than ten times, or even a hundred times.
Qiao Xiaomi looked at Qiao Xing with uncertainty. She wanted to get some useful information from her father's eyes.
However, Qiao Xing didn't seem to have any intention of explaining. He only smiled at Qiao Xiaomi and didn't say anything else.
His gaze seemed to be encouraging her. What was he encouraging? Was he encouraging her to talk to this robot?
Qiao Xiaomi was puzzled. She looked at Noah again and asked with uncertainty, "Are you Noah?
"Are you really Noah? That Noah? "
Noah tore off his linen cloak, revealing an old metal body. Then, he sat on Qiao Xing's sofa.
"If there aren't other Noah's, I should be the Noah that you think I am.
The more powerful one, and the more dangerous one! "
Qiao Xiaomi's body twisted on Qiao Xing's body. Knowing his daughter's thoughts, Qiao Xing naturally knew that Qiao Xiaomi wanted to come down.
Then, he put Qiao Xiaomi down and allowed his daughter to run toward Noah.
Qiao Xiaomi carefully walked to Noah's side and touched Noah's metal body with a look of surprise.
"It's really made of metal! But why does your body look so old?
Some parts of it look like my dad's teacup. It's covered in pulp! "
Qiao Xing didn't say anything and allowed his daughter to talk to Noah.
When Noah faced Qiao Xiaomi's question, he actually pondered for a long time before answering seriously, "Because I'm old.
"It's because I'm very old, so some parts of my body look so old."
Qiao Xiaomi was even more puzzled after hearing Noah's answer.
"But the books said that ancient robots could change their bodies. Why didn't you change your body?"
"Yes, robots can change their bodies."
Noah suddenly gave an irrelevant answer, causing Qiao Xiaomi to be confused.
"Uh, Noah … Mister, how old are you this year?"
"I'm 486 years old this year. To be more precise, I'm 486 years, 5 months, and 3 days old."
Noah had already taken off his cloak, scarf, and hat.
He revealed his bald head, old mechanical body, and a pair of very unique electronic eyes.
"So you're already so old? Isn't that … older than my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather? "
"You can understand it that way."
"Then, did you really kill a lot of people like what the books said?"
When Qiao Xiaomi asked this question, the atmosphere suddenly became strange.
However, Noah still maintained his calm state and nodded naturally.
"Yes, I killed a lot of people. To be more precise, a lot of humans."
"Dad, Dad! This person is a bad guy. Why aren't you beating him up? "
Qiao Xing glanced at his daughter unhappily. He glanced at her and finally lowered his head.
"@ # ¥% … *"
Qiao Xiaomi was confused. Why is my dad stuttering?
"Dad, why are you stuttering? I didn't hear what you said clearly!
Are you listening to me? This person is a bad guy. Hurry up and beat him up! "
Qiao Xing suddenly felt that his daughter wasn't that cute. Sometimes, her words were quite annoying.
"I already said that I can't beat him! You still want me to say it a second time. You're doing it on purpose, right? "
"Ah? This … "
In Qiao Xiaomi's impression, she didn't seem to have heard that her father couldn't beat someone.
But now that her father said that he couldn't beat Noah, she didn't seem to have any reason to refute!
"Since you can't beat me, then Mr. Noah, don't take my words to heart!"
Noah used his mechanical fingers to scratch his bald head and smiled as he nodded.
"Okay, I won't take it to heart."
The conversation died down because of Qiao Xiaomi. Luckily, Li Lan helped them out at this moment.
"It's time to eat. Erm, this …"
"Mom, he's called Noah."
"Hello, Madam. I'm Noah!"
Li Lan hesitated for a moment before looking at her husband with an uncertain gaze until Qiao Xing nodded at her.
Li Lan then started to greet Noah.
"Hello, Mr. Noah."
The group of people went to the dining table and looked at the dishes that Li Lan prepared. Then, they started to eat in silence.
Qiao Xiaomi peeked at Noah from time to time because she realized that this robot was actually eating!
"Why can robots eat?"
Just as Qiao Xiaomi was having doubts in her heart, the doorbell suddenly rang.
"I'll go open the door!"
Qiao Xiaomi ran to the door. But when she opened the door, she suddenly frowned.
The other party was a little girl who was slightly older than her. She was wearing a black and purple laced dress.
But this wasn't what made her frown. What really made her frown was the arrogance in the other party's eyes!
"You've entered the wrong door!"
Bang! Qiao Xiaomi closed the door.
