229: Chapter 229 Meeting the Parents (Part Two)

"My lord... the one standing next to your nephew... is a Tier 4 Great Yao."

Another somewhat indifferent voice rang out.

The owner of the voice seemed to have no intention of avoiding being heard, stating it directly just like that.

However, judging by the sudden spiritual power fluctuations in the surrounding area, combined with the fact that the diners downstairs were still chatting and laughing, Xing Yaoyan knew that this voice should only be audible to Qian Mo, herself, and the people upstairs.

To think there was an Advanced Esper with perception abilities among these people...

Xing Yaoyan was very surprised. Just who exactly is this Uncle Yun that Qian Mo spoke of? It's one thing that his entire bodyguard team consists of Advanced Espers, but to even have that extremely rare type of perception-based Esper?

You have to know, this type of Esper is one of the hardest to Cultivate. The Advanced ones have long since been poached by the high-level departments of the Security Bureau; she had truly never heard of such a perception-based Esper belonging exclusively to a private bodyguard team before.

"It's fine... This kid Qian Mo already told me, this is the girlfriend he's seeing, oh~ I heard she's even a Saintess of the Demon Race..."

As the voice grew louder, Xing Yaoyan finally saw Uncle Yun's true appearance.

He had a very kind and benevolent face and was wearing a somewhat plain Tang suit. There were a few deep crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, which were particularly noticeable when he smiled. His gray and black hair was styled with great texture. Although, judging from the first impression alone, he looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, when combined with the powerful bodyguards around him and the fact that this was the Northern District of the capital, a place where big shots gathered...

Isn't this clearly a hidden big shot?

However... if only you didn't have that face...

Xing Yaoyan thought to herself.

And just as she was thinking this, the middle-aged man was leaning on the second-floor railing, waving at the two people on the stairs.

"Hello, Uncle Yun!"

Qian Mo looked very happy, and his steps as he walked upstairs were noticeably lighter.

They probably hadn't seen each other for ten years. Although he was not the original owner of the body, after so long, Qian Mo had long since accepted the original owner's emotions and memories. He was quite excited about meeting this person, whom he remembered as practically the only family the original owner had, after so many years.

However, excitement aside, his sharp perception as a killer made him instantly realize that the girl hadn't followed him. Moreover, according to etiquette, even if she were just going through the motions, she should have called him "Uncle" along with him just now...

But then again... she is a Star Beast; even if she is now a Saintess of the Demon Race, she doesn't understand human etiquette. In that case...

Qian Mo was momentarily embarrassed, feeling caught in a difficult position.

Qian Mo turned his head with a complex look in his eyes, only to see the girl in front of him still staring straight at the middle-aged man upstairs, her body not showing any sign of movement, as if she had suddenly lost her soul.

"Xiao Yan?"

Qian Mo called out softly, already prepared to help her out of the awkward situation.

"Oh!"

Realizing she had just been distracted, Xing Yaoyan forcefully suppressed the shock in her heart. Acting like a girl who was embarrassed for forgetting to greet an elder because she was daydreaming, she hurriedly apologized and greeted the middle-aged man upstairs:

"Hello, Uncle. My name is Xing Yan... I'm sorry, I was a bit distracted just now..."

A barely visible gleam flashed in Yun Sheng's eyes, but his smile remained.

"It's fine, it's fine. It's my honor that Your Highness the Saintess has condescended to visit. Let me introduce myself: I am Yun Sheng, Qian Mo's early guardian."

"Uncle Yun Sheng, you are joking. Since you are Qian Mo's elder, you are also my elder. Let's put those superficial titles from the outside world aside for now."

Xing Yaoyan said neither humbly nor arrogantly, with a proper smile on her face.

Although she was now a Saintess of the Demon Race and did not need to follow human etiquette, she had, after all, lived as a human in her past life. Moreover, the person she was meeting was equivalent to Qian Mo's parent, so she still had to take it seriously.

"Hahaha... Then let it be as Miss Xing Yan says..."

Seeing that the girl was so polite, Qian Mo breathed a sigh of relief, and at that moment, he had just reached the top of the stairs and arrived beside Yun Sheng.

Yun Sheng put his arm around the young man's shoulder and said in a teasing tone: "Qian Mo... You kid are really something, knowing how to pick such a girlfriend..."

Yun Sheng's voice sounded like any old father seeing his son bring a girlfriend home, but Xing Yaoyan still heard a different nuance in it.

Indeed, how could it be such a coincidence? If only you weren't one of the people circled in red in that photo...

Xing Yaoyan followed the two of them unhurriedly, staring with a scrutinizing gaze at Yun Sheng's back, which appeared to have no defenses against her.

At the same time, she also clearly saw the figures that had been emitting dangerous red light earlier. They were several men and women wearing high-tech mecha combat suits and metal masks. At first glance, she thought they were Actors from some tokusatsu show.

However, the powerful Aura radiating from them still highlighted their extraordinary nature.

The woman in the purple combat suit seemed to want to step forward to stop her, but she was immediately pulled back by her companion, and in the end, she could only give the White-haired girl a warning look.

Although Xing Yaoyan couldn't see her eyes because of the metal mask on her face, the momentary spiritual power fluctuation radiating from her still conveyed her meaning.

However, Xing Yaoyan didn't feel any fear at all. On the contrary, the look in her eyes as she watched them gradually became sharp, and the smile at the corners of her mouth was gradually filled with disdain, as if looking at trash.

What a joke. Being polite in front of Qian Mo's elder is one thing, but what right do you gatekeeping dogs have to stop me, what right do you have to threaten me...

At this moment, an invisible field seemed to form around the White-haired girl. In terms of Aura, it was actually stronger than those bodyguards combined—no, that's not right... it was complete suppression.

Is this Royal Qi... How could she have Royal Qi...

Sensing something, Yun Sheng glanced back slightly at the girl following behind them, whose Aura was fully unleashed, a flash of unconcealable shock crossing his eyes.

But after seeing the girl's swift glance, he returned a smile that said, "Sorry, I meant nothing by it, just curious," and then quickly turned his head back, continuing to chat with Qian Mo as if nothing had happened.

Anyway, no matter how strong this Miss Xing Yan is, it's this kid's good fortune. As for her identity... *sigh*, what is meant to come will come eventually...
