27: Chapter 27 Holy crap, is this my son?!

Shangguan Yunshu nodded slightly, placing the teacup in her hand back onto the coffee table, the porcelain cup making a very light, crisp sound as it hit the tabletop.

Then she stood up from the sofa: "Take me to my room first."

Lu Yang hurriedly stood up as well, leading her through the living room hallway and pushing open the door to a guest room.

The guest room was right opposite the bedroom of Lu Yang. It was not very large; after fitting in a double bed, a wardrobe, and a small desk, there was not much space left to walk around.

Fortunately, the home interior design style was unified, featuring warm-toned walls, light-colored wooden flooring, and a set of simple, elegant grey-and-white bedding on the bed, so it did not look too crude.

Furthermore, as a household smart robot, Xiaoqi kept every room impeccably clean every day. The tabletops were polished to a reflective shine, the floors gleamed, and a faint, subtle lemon scent of detergent still lingered in the air.

Standing at the doorway, Lu Yang said somewhat embarrassedly: "It is just a separate room without an independent bathroom, so it might be a bit inconvenient."

Shangguan Yunshu glanced around and shook her head: "It is fine, I will not be staying for many days."

Lu Yang was stunned, feeling somewhat puzzled: "Why will you not be staying for many days?"

Shangguan Yunshu was the guardian of Lu Yang, how could she leave after just a few days?

That did not make sense.

Shangguan Yunshu glanced at him and explained in a calm tone: "Once you reach Tier 1, you will need to go elsewhere to grind monsters and level up, and you will not be spending much time at home."

Hearing this, Lu Yang suddenly understood.

He recalled learning in the school general knowledge class for professionals that combat-class professionals traveled and toiled outside year-round, either going to the wilderness to grind monsters and level up or traveling across different planets to clear dungeons.

In reality, they were still very busy.

He was about to embark on this path himself very soon.

Thinking of this, Lu Yang felt a tinge of emotion in his heart.

He had transmigrated into this world as an infant, spending a full eighteen years living closely with the parents, so suddenly having to leave them still made him feel a bit reluctant.

Looking at Lu Yang, who was somewhat absent-minded, Shangguan Yunshu said calmly: "You can go out, I am going to change clothes."

Lu Yang snapped back to his senses, instinctively glanced at Shangguan Yunshu, and nodded hurriedly: "Alright."

He had to admit, the figure of Sister Shangguan was really nice.

However, he naturally would not dare say these words out loud.

He strode out of the room, turned around, and thoughtfully pulled the door shut gently, the latch clicking snugly into the doorframe.

Lu Yang walked over to the sofa and sat down, his body sinking into the soft fabric cushions, before belatedly feeling a wave of exhaustion welling up from his very bones.

After all, he had just undergone Awakening, spent half the day clearing dungeons, and died so many times. With each death being so painful, how could he not be tired?

It was just that the appearance of Shangguan Yunshu had brought him too much shock, coupled with the previous assassination attempt, which had completely absorbed his attention, causing him to completely ignore the state of his body for the time being.

Now alone by himself, he finally felt the exhaustion bubbling up from the bottom of his heart.

He leaned against the sofa backrest, closed his eyes, and prepared to rest for a moment.

The sunlight outside the window shone through the blinds, casting strips of pale golden fine lines across his face.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Lu Yang heard the sound of the room door opening.

Thinking it was Shangguan Yunshu coming out, he opened his eyes and turned to look, only to see Lu Xi walking in from outside the door.

Following right behind Lu Xi was Zheng Ying.

As soon as they entered and saw Lu Yang in the living room, both of them were stunned for a moment.

Lu Xi changed into slippers and walked over, a look of surprise on his face as he said: "Yangyang? Why did you come back so soon? Did you not go to clear dungeons?"

Under normal circumstances, for a rookie team clearing a dungeon, if efficiency was not high, spending a dozen hours or so was completely normal.

They had not expected Lu Yang to return home so quickly.

Zheng Ying wore a look of slight worry on her face and asked: "You did not die inside the dungeon, did you? How were the gains?"

Lu Yang laughed in spite of himself and said: "Mom, what are you thinking? I have already cleared the dungeon."

Hearing this, the expression on the face of Zheng Ying cleared up from gloomy. She patted her chest and smiled: "That is good, I thought you had died in the newbie dungeon."

Lu Xi on the side had a carefree, cheerful look on his face. He reached out to wrap his arm around the shoulders of Zheng Ying and said smugly: "Wife, I told you that you just like to worry over nothing! My son is so amazing, of course he would be able to clear the dungeon!"

Zheng Ying rolled her eyes at Lu Xi and swiped his hand off her shoulder: "You think everyone is as carefree and heartless as you?"

Lu Xi chuckled with a grin, completely unbothered: "Do not people who are carefree live happier lives?"

Lu Yang was already used to this kind of back-and-forth bickering between the two of them.

Leaning against the sofa armrest, he spoke up: "Right, Mom and Dad, someone is going to be staying at our house for a while starting now."

Hearing this, both Lu Xi and Zheng Ying were startled.

Lu Xi immediately leaned in, looking full of gossip: "Who is it? Which of your friends got kicked out of their house?"

Lu Yang had black lines all over his head and his mouth twitched: "It is not..."

Before he had time to continue explaining, the guest room door opened.

Shangguan Yunshu walked out.

Instead of the white long robe she wore earlier, she was wearing blue slim-fit jeans and a pure white loose short-sleeved shirt.

The cut of the jeans was clean and neat, vividly outlining the slender and straight legs of Shangguan Yunshu.

That short-sleeved shirt revealed a small section of the collarbone and snowy-white arms of Shangguan Yunshu, and her skin was quite delicate and smooth, looking almost as if it were glowing.

The pitch-black long hair of Shangguan Yunshu hung loosely behind her shoulders, making her look as if she had walked right out of a painting.

Dressed in home wear, Shangguan Yunshu did not look like a high-tier professional at all, but rather an exceptionally beautiful, aloof-tempered great beauty.

However, the sense of distance carried within that beauty still made people reluctant to get too close.

After coming out, Shangguan Yunshu had a cold and aloof pretty face. She nodded towards Lu Xi and Zheng Ying, saying softly: "I am Shangguan Yunshu, the guardian of Lu Yang."

The living room fell quiet for an instant.

Lu Xi and Zheng Ying stared blankly at Shangguan Yunshu, both of their expressions a bit dazed, as if they had not reacted at all.

Seeing the old man and old mom looking so spineless, Lu Yang gave a helpless dry cough: "Mom and Dad, you guys should have heard of the name of Sister Shangguan, right?"

Lu Xi and Zheng Ying gave a start, only then snapping back to reality.

The way they looked at Shangguan Yunshu changed completely, carrying a hint of awkward nervousness.

Even the most ordinary commoners in the Blue Star Alliance knew the name Shangguan Yunshu.

Naturally, Lu Xi and Zheng Ying were no exception.

For ordinary lifestyle professionals like them, logically speaking, it would be impossible for them to ever come into contact with a big figure like Shangguan Yunshu in this lifetime.

Yet, Shangguan Yunshu had just appeared right in front of them!

Their minds were completely blank at this moment.

This was Shangguan Yunshu!

A high-ranking member of the Star Pivot Hall, a Tier 5 powerhouse!

Such a big figure was actually greeting them?!

They were both nervous and pleasantly surprised.

Lu Xi nodded repeatedly and said loudly: "Hello, Lady Shangguan!"

The face of Zheng Ying flushed red with excitement, her hands not knowing where to put themselves, and she also nodded repeatedly: "Hello, Lady Shangguan, I-I am the mother of Yangyang, Zheng Ying, very nice to meet you!"

At this moment, Lu Xi thought of something, and his expression instantly twisted.

With the expression of someone meeting Lu Yang for the very first time, he looked at him, then turned to look at Shangguan Yunshu, as if confirming something, and asked stammering: "L-Lady Shangguan, you said you are the guardian of Yangyang...?"

Zheng Ying also thought of this matter and stared straight at Shangguan Yunshu.

Shangguan Yunshu nodded, her expression as calm as ever: "Yes."

Lu Xi: "????"

Zheng Ying: "????"

The two of them looked at Lu Yang with expressions as if looking at immortals.

Holy shit?!

This was their own son??

Just how awesome did their son have to be for a big figure like Shangguan Yunshu to personally come and act as his guardian?!

Both of their bodies were trembling slightly, filled with excitement and disbelief.

Lu Yang knew Lu Xi and Zheng Ying extremely well, and naturally knew that once the two discovered this matter, they would definitely be given a huge scare.

Leaning against the sofa, Lu Yang chuckled happily: "Mom and Dad, why are you looking at me like that? Your son is amazing, right?"

The two snapped out of it, and Zheng Ying and Lu Xi exchanged glances.

They nodded with numb expressions.

"A-Awesome..."

Being able to have Shangguan Yunshu act as his guardian was no longer just a question of whether he was generally awesome or not!

"D-Did the ancestral graves of the old Lu family smoke blue smoke?!" Lu Xi was still doubting his life.
