Ming Wenxianâs body shook with increasing intensity.
She followed the direction of Xie Yuâs gaze, yet saw no one.
Her thoughts were in complete disarray, her nerves slowly crumbling under the pressure.
Her mind was filled with the teachings about evolved beings imparted by old Master Ming.
He had raised her since her parents perished in a car accident, leaving her an only child. Spoiled by her grandfatherâs indulgence, she could not accept that she lacked even a trace of evolutionary genes.
How could she not fit into the circle of evolved beings and mingle with the
Thus, she sought recognition among ordinary people in the entertainment industry, setting her sights on Xie Yu this time.
But she never anticipated that Xie Yu was an evolved being, and a high-level one at that!
Only those above Class B were considered high-level. What class was Xie Yu?
Ming Wenxianâs head buzzed, and the pain in her wrist felt like it was twisting her organs together.
As the mist cleared, footsteps approached, and a figure emerged.
It was a tall, imposing woman.
Holding an unconscious middle-aged man in one hand, she strode forward a few steps before casually throwing him to the ground, âLook at how youâve been played.â
Xie Yu was speechless.
He paused, then said slowly, âAre you not a bit disappointed you didnât see it?â
âI am indeed disappointed.â Xie Yanqiu, his mother, examined him from head to toe with a smile, âWhy didnât you encounter a stronger evolved being? I couldâve been collecting your corpse.â Xie Yu was speechless again.
Oh no, didnât her anger shift to his dad?
The situation seemed worse than expected.
Xie Yanqiu spoke coldly, âCome here, donât make me repeat myself.â
Xie Yu raised his hands, âOkay, I surrender.â
Perhaps he should just lay flat.
Xie Yanqiu pulled Xie Yu behind her and then turned her attention to Ming Wenxian, who was sprawled on the ground.
Ming Wenxian finally got a clear view of the newcomer.
An exceptionally beautiful woman, she appeared to be in her late twenties.
Walking out with Xie Yu, they could easily pass for siblings.
But her beauty was sharp, like a knife that could slash oneâs throat.
âMing Dexuanâs granddaughter, huh.â Xie Yanqiu seemed to chuckle, but her tone was icy, âI didnât go looking for him, yet he dares to cross me. Such audacity.â
Hearing the mention of old Master Ming, Ming Wenxian looked up sharply, fear gripping her heart.
Her eyes widened, her voice hoarse with desperation, as she cried out, âWho are you? Who are you?!â
Such aura and power clearly indicated that Xie Yanqiu was no ordinary evolved being, surely from a powerful background.
But Xie Yu, wasnât he from an ordinary family, a solo practitioner?
Old Master Mingâs side had also investigated, and the information collected indicated that Xie Yuâs family was just average, his parents mere workers.
How could this happen?
Ming Wenxian was completely unable to accept the reality, her impotent rage culminating in a piercing scream.
âEnough noise!â Xie Yanqiu, visibly impatient, reached out and grasped Ming Wenxianâs throat. âDidnât your family teach you to steer clear of me?â
Ming Wenxianâs eyes widened even further, her body trembling like chaff in the wind.
The woman hadnât even touched her, yet she felt a powerful force pulling her forward.
What kind of ability did this evolved beingpossess?!
Xie Yu shrugged his shoulders.
Such a pitiful sight.
This was precisely when his motherâs temper was at its fiercest.
âNot an evolved being, yet so arrogant. If I let you get away with this, what would become of us?â Xie Yanqiuâs voice was cold, laced with a mocking laugh, âI discipline him because I am his mother. Who are you to lay a finger on my son?â
Ming Wenxian was utterly terrified, her voice intermittent, âYou, your son, who exactly are youâ¦â
âSlap!â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
A harsh slap landed on her face.
Xie Yanqiuâs voice grew colder, âYou dare question me?â
The ringtone of a cellphone broke the brief silence.
Xie Yu paused for a moment before answering the call, âTeacher Si?â
On the other end, Si Fulingâs voice was warm and friendly, âXie Yu, youâre in trouble. Iâll be there in ten minutes. You better think of a good reason to explain yourself so we can have a proper conversation.â Xie Yu was speechless.
He suddenly felt as if he was under his motherâs direct gaze.
This was not good.
Xie Yanqiu glanced over, âYour mentor?â
âYeah,â Xie Yu replied, a hint of a headache in his voice, âComing to clean up my mess. â
âA good mentor,â Xie Yanqiu commented, clapping her hands, âI should meet her when Iâm free. Iâll make sure to instruct to discipline you properly..â
