Sima Chuan rested his head on his hands, gazing peacefully at the night sky, so absorbed that he didn't even notice when Qiong approached him.
"Chuan, I just saw Sage leave," she said.
"What’s wrong?" Sima Chuan turned to look at Qiong.
"Weren't you just discussing your desire to travel through time with Sage?"
"Yes, just like we did during that heavy snowfall. It's our mission," Sima Chuan nodded.
"Exactly, it's our mission," Qiong agreed.
"But what if my grandfather disagrees? What if Aitak and Lomqia Adela try to stop us too? What should we do then?"
"They're probably just worried about us. If we maximize our physical strength and energy, traveling through time shouldn't be a problem," Qiong replied.
"Then let's go. After all, this is our mission," Sima Chuan said as he stood up, facing Qiong. The two of them stood there, looking at each other before they exchanged a fist bump.
Later, Sima Chuan and Qiong waited early at the entrance of Aitak's room.
"What’s going on with you two?" Aitak asked curiously upon seeing Sima Chuan and Qiong.
"Star Master, Qiong and I have something to discuss with you," Sima Chuan said, looking at Aitak.
"Haha," Aitak smiled. "No need to call me Star Master; given our relationship, there's no need for such formality. Besides, your father and I are good friends."
"Okay, Uncle," Sima Chuan nodded.
"Just tell me what's on your mind."
Sima Chuan exchanged a glance with Qiong and said, "We believe we are the most suitable candidates for the journey."
Aitak furrowed his brow and asked, "Why is that?"
"Because we are Mechanical Warriors, and this is our mission," Sima Chuan and Qiong replied in unison.
"Mission, huh?" Aitak murmured. He then added, "Alright, you two go back for now. I need to think this over."
Sima Chuan and Qiong looked at each other before turning to leave. Aitak watched their retreating figures, his expression complex.
Inside the Council Hall.
Aitak frowned in silence, leaving everyone else puzzled, while Markett seemed to have an inkling of what was going on. Finally, it was Jessica who spoke up, "Star Master. Have you encountered some trouble?"
"Well, there isn't exactly trouble, but there's something difficult to handle," Aitak sighed.
"Star Master, please tell us what it is; perhaps we can help resolve it."
"It's about the candidates for the journey. Two individuals have volunteered to cross over," Aitak shook his head. Below him, Markett thought to himself: just as I suspected.
"If they qualify, then being travelers is acceptable, right? Are these two not qualified?" Jessica asked.
Upon hearing Jessica's words, Aitak slammed his hand on the table and stood up angrily. "What do you know? Do you even understand who these two are to make such conclusions?"
"Star Master." Aitak ignored Jessica and turned his gaze toward Markett's position, causing everyone's attention to shift to Markett. Aitak then said calmly, "Markett, you take it from here."
Markett stood up. "The two who volunteered to travel back in time are my grandson, Noel, and a fully created Robot named Qiong. They are collectively referred to as Mechanical Warriors."
Some people present looked at Markett in surprise, while others expressed admiration.
"Now we need to think this through," Aitak gathered everyone's attention.
"Markett the Sage, may I speak frankly? What exactly is the Mechanical Warrior?" The Mechanical Guard Captain pondered for a moment before asking.
"The Mechanical Warrior was created when I first realized Nai's ambitions. It was designed to thwart Nai's schemes. The first fully humanoid Mechanical Warrior was Qiong. Later, I created Crimson Face, which is the Mechanical Warrior fused with Xingrui; the third one was Akaper, based on my grandson Noel's data. The Mechanical Warrior is a true fusion of human and Mechanical Soldier, where human thought leads and the Mechanical Soldier assists. In combat, the focus is primarily on the Mechanical Soldier, and only when both truly merge into one can it be considered a true Mechanical Warrior. The capabilities of a Mechanical Warrior far exceed those of humans, with room for further enhancement. My grandson Noel and Luo Mengqi are true Mechanical Warriors. If we are looking for the most suitable candidates, then the Mechanical Warriors are undoubtedly the best choice."
Once Markett clarified his points, those who were confused understood why Markett and Aitak reacted this way. Noel was Markett's biological grandson and also Aitak's favored 'son-in-law.'
"Then let us discuss how to handle this matter," Aitak said, falling silent after finishing his statement.
"What’s wrong? Why is everyone quiet?" Aitak tapped the table and inquired.
After a long pause, Markett stood up, looked around at the people in the Council Hall, and said, "Star Master, we should respect Noel and Qiong's decision. We must also trust them because they have their own paths; this is their mission."
"Are you sure about that, Sage?" Aitak propped his head on one hand and looked at Markett.
Markett nodded firmly. "I am sure."
"Good." Aitak clapped his hands, stood up with a smile, and said, "We should respect them and trust them. I believe they will fulfill their mission perfectly. Now, we decide to establish the Time-Space Team with Noel and Qiong as the leaders and others as support."
"Understood."
At that moment, Sima Chuan and Qiong were enjoying a pleasant sunbath while Luo Mengqi and others played joyfully nearby.
"Chuan, do you think we can be recognized and traverse through?"
Sima Chuan smiled and replied, "Don't worry; we'll know the answer soon enough. Just be patient."
As Sima Chuan and Qiong were conversing, Markett approached them step by step. Sima Chuan and Qiong heard Markett's footsteps and quickly stood up. Markett glanced at Sima Chuan and Qiong with a sigh before turning to leave.
Sima Chuan and Qiong exchanged glances and followed him inside. Once they reached Markett's room, Markett closed the door tightly, muffling the sounds outside. With a serious expression, he looked at Sima Chuan and Qiong and said, "You have both become the main leaders of the Time-Space Team, tasked with leading the other team members back in time to capture or eliminate Nai."
"Yes! That's great!" Sima Chuan and Qiong nearly jumped with excitement.
"What are you so excited about?" Markett tapped each of them lightly on the head. "You must come back safely. If anything happens to you, I won't let you off easily."
"Grandpa, don't worry! We'll be just fine," Sima Chuan replied with a cheerful grin.
"Yes, Sage, we won't have any problems at all," Qiong chimed in.
"You better not. Otherwise, when you return, not only will I have to teach you a lesson, but so will Luo Mengqi and the other three girls, as well as Star Master Aitak. Just make sure you come back safe."
"Grandpa, trust me! When I get back, I'll take you traveling everywhere," Sima Chuan said, holding Markett's hand.
"By the way, how are things going with Luo Mengqi and the others?" Markett asked again.
"It's just me and Qiong going after Nai in another location; there's no need to worry about the rest."
"Alright then, I'll leave it to them. You both prepare well; I'm going to start making the Mechanical Armor." With that, Markett left the room.
