After returning to Cloud Manor, Lin Yan went back to her room to pet the two kittens. She then headed to Pei Yuchengâs study.
âPlease come in.â
Lin Yan opened the door after Pei Yucheng replied.
Pei Yucheng was reading a stack of documents.
However, he set the documents aside when Lin Yan entered.
âYouâre back.â Pei Yucheng gazed at the girl with a gentle smile.
âYeah.â Lin Yan nodded and walked over to Pei Yucheng. Her eyes landed on the documents on his desk.
Pei Yucheng coughed softly as he put the documents away. âThese are trivial matters that donât require much effort.â
Lin Yanâs expression changed when she glanced at the documents.
She seemed to have seen the words âevolution experimentâ on the stack of documents just now.
Suddenly, memories of her and her brother flashed across her mind.
Why would Pei Yuchengâs documents contain information about the laboratory?
âIs something bothering you?â Pei Yucheng asked softly when he noticed that something was amiss.
Lin Yan snapped out of her daze and shook her head. âNo.â
âAre you interested in this information?â Pei Yucheng stared at Lin Yan as he pondered this.
âI just want to know more about evolution,â replied Lin Yan instinctively.
Pei Yucheng smiled faintly. âThese are trivial matters of the Pei Family. Take a look if youâre interested.â
Pei Yucheng passed the documents to Lin Yan.
Lin Yan scanned the documents and saw a lot of information about evolved beings. The Pei Family was also researching evolution?
âThe Pei Family is an evolved being family,â Pei Yucheng explained softly when he saw the confusion on Lin Yanâs face.
âEvolved being family?â Lin Yan was startled.
Although she had guessed it before, it had merely been a guess. She had not expected it to be true.
âYeah,â Pei Yucheng replied softly. âThere are many evolved beings like the Pei Family. Other than China, many other countries are the same.â
Lin Yan was speechless...
She realized that she had been living in vain all these years.
As an evolved being, although she had undergone postnatal evolution, her level wasnât that high. The people from the Hunterâs Guild called her a low-level postnatal evolved being, but she was at least an evolved being. Unfortunately, she knew nothing about evolved beings.
Pei Yucheng continued to explain. âEvolved beings are divided into connate and postnatal evolved beings.â
Lin Yan quipped, âFrom the looks of it, a connate evolved being is better than a postnatal evolved being?â
Pei Yucheng nodded. âThatâs right. Not only is it difficult for postnatal evolved beings to evolve, but even if they succeed, most of them will be at a lower level. Itâs extremely difficult for them to evolve further. However, itâs different for connate evolved beings. Many of them are born with strong abilities, so itâs easier for them to evolve.â
Lin Yan stroked her chin thoughtfully. âI understand. This is like being a vampire. A natural vampire is more respected and powerful than humans who have been bitten and turned into vampires, right?â
Pei Yucheng chuckled softly. âThatâs right.â
He paused for a moment before he replied, âThere are too few powerful evolved beings at the connate level. Thatâs why there are man-made experiments.
âMany large evolved beings like the Pei Family would secretly experiment and modify some of their ordinary heirs in order to have more evolved beings in the family.â
