Huo Linfei's excitement and arrogance froze instantly, replaced by a wary expression.
He sized up Lin Ci, then glanced at the aloof, white-armored woman behind him.
How did you know we were here?
The slender, handsome man behind him peeked out with half his head out, his eyes filled with suspicion.
"You're not some kind of charlatan, are you?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tianyu gently nudged Miao Tiaojun's lower back with his elbow, his eyes filled with a hint of reproach.
Miao Tiaojun immediately shrank back, not daring to say another word.
Tianyu stepped forward and bowed slightly to Lin Ci, his posture humble and polite.
“Senior, we have come here with no ill intentions. We are here to stop Hades’ resurrection.”
"Prevent Hades' resurrection?"
Long Ying is behind Lin Ci.
Those deep purple eyes narrowed instantly, and a chilling aura filled the air.
In her heart, Hades had shown kindness to the White Dragon Clan by taking them in.
He was also his father's comrade-in-arms and leader, a strong man worthy of respect.
These people actually dared to try and stop Hades from being resurrected.
A strong sense of displeasure rose within her.
But her gaze fell on the composed figure in front of her.
Seeing Lin Ci's still smiling face, she forcibly suppressed the emotions that were about to erupt.
Brother Lin Ci has his reasons.
After all, compared to Hades, Brother Lin Ci is the most important.
Lin Ci's gaze fell on Tian Yu, carrying a hint of elder's gentleness.
"I certainly deserve to be called your senior."
"After all, I held you when you were little."
Upon hearing this, Tianyu's body trembled violently.
An unbelievable surprise instantly welled up in those pure eyes.
Her voice trembled slightly with excitement.
"Then you've met my parents, haven't you?"
Can you tell me where they are?
Lin Ci's gaze deepened.
He spoke slowly, his voice carrying a power that seemed to pierce through time.
What has been will be again.
What has been done will be done again.
The surprise on Tianyu's face turned into deep confusion.
"Senior, what does this mean?"
Lin Ci shook his head.
"I can't tell you."
"But you'll find out soon enough."
Of course, he couldn't say, "Your father is Hades."
In that case, the Super Beast Team would probably disband on the spot, let alone go to the Underworld to fight the real mastermind, Guigu.
Tianyu wanted to ask more questions.
But seeing Lin Ci's unwavering gaze, he could only swallow all his questions.
She asked with her last glimmer of hope.
"Is what you said true, senior? I really... will be able to see them soon?"
A gentle smile returned to Lin Ci's face.
"A senior's word is his bond."
A genuine smile of happiness finally blossomed on Tianyu's face.
That smile was as pure as the first snow, brightening her whole being.
However, Long Ying, standing behind Lin Ci, became increasingly unhappy.
Watching Tianyu and Lin Ci chatting so happily, she felt a lump in her throat, a bittersweet feeling.
Brother Lin Ci belongs to me.
How can he be so gentle to other girls?
Her cool gaze swept over Tianyu, carrying a hint of barely perceptible hostility.
Brother Lin Ci can only have me as his junior!
Long Ying stepped forward, interrupting their conversation, her voice returning to its usual coldness.
"Since you've come from afar, why don't we go into the city for a chat?"
Lin Ci turned to her and said.
"No, I'm in a hurry."
"Just go and call Long Jian over."
Upon hearing Lin Ci's instructions, Long Ying immediately nodded.
She gave Lin Ci a deep look.
She glared at Tianyu out of the corner of her eye before turning and disappearing in a streak of purple light.
Tianyu felt confused and touched his face in bewilderment.
Did I... offend her?
Huo Linfei walked over casually, put his arm around Tianyu's shoulder, and struck a pose as if he knew everything.
"That woman looks so cold, she's probably just jealous of your beauty, Tianyu!"
"After all, your beauty is so captivating that even I would be smitten!"
Upon hearing this, Miao Tiaojun was so frightened that his soul almost flew out of his body. He rushed over and covered Huo Linfei's mouth.
"Huo Linfei, shut up!"
"That's clearly a senior colleague, so don't speak ill of them behind their back!"
He lowered his voice, almost speaking in a whisper.
"It's not important that people speak ill of us; the important thing is not to drag us into this!"
Huo Linfei then realized that he had spoken too quickly.
They actually gossiped about his companions in front of another unfathomable senior.
He quickly broke free from Miao Tiaojun and awkwardly cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Lin Ci.
"I'm sorry, senior, I meant no harm."
Lin Ci chuckled lightly, not caring at all.
"I understand you."
"However, Huo Linfei, don't talk badly about others behind their backs in the future. It's not good."
Huo Linfei obediently bowed again.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior."
Then, his intense curiosity took over, and he changed the subject.
"But senior, how do you know me so well?"
"Could it be that you had contact with me 100,000 years ago?"
Lin Ci's smile deepened.
"Even more familiar than that."
Miao Tiaojun's eyes widened instantly, and an astonishing idea formed in his mind.
He pointed at Lin Ci, then at Huo Linfei, and stammered.
"Could it be... could it be that you are Huo Linfei's father, senior?!"
Lin Ci's smile froze for a moment.
"of course not."
"I don't need to explain that. You just need to know that I know you all very well."
Miao Tiaojun still didn't believe it, so he puffed out his chest and decided to verify it himself.
"Does that mean you know me very well, senior?"
Do you know my name?
Lin Ci looked at him, finding it somewhat amusing.
I know more than just understand; you were the one who brought me home yesterday.
"of course I know."
"You are Miao Tiao Jun."
Miao Tiaojun was struck dumb, standing there as if he had been struck by lightning.
The next second, he jumped up suddenly, so excited that he became incoherent.
