Chapter 109 - 107 Call Me Uncle_1
"Miss Hibel, Count Theodore and I are cherished friends. Our friendship began, let’s see... on a snowy winter a few years ago. That morning, the sun was shining brightly, and I was having breakfast.
I still remember that sausage was hot and spicy...
Oh... I just remembered I have something else to attend to. As for how I met the Count, I’ll tell you all about it when I have time."
Yan Xing casually brushed Hibel off. After all, he couldn’t make up a story on the spot.
Hibel looked at Yan Xing with a peculiar expression. She knew all her father’s friends and had never heard him mention such a young one. Moreover, it was obvious that Yan Xing was visiting Newcast City for the first time. How could he possibly know her father? It simply didn’t make sense.
Since Yan Xing wouldn’t say, Hibel asked again, "Then why did my father ask me to protect you and teach you Knight skills? You are clearly so strong! Do you really need my protection?"
Hibel’s impression of Yan Xing was still based on their initial encounter: the overflowing Magic Power, the dissipating aura. That voice had also left a very deep impression on Hibel. But when she had just gone to see her father, he had unexpectedly assigned her this task. This left Hibel thoroughly confused.
Yan Xing rubbed his nose. Being caught in a bluff was indeed very awkward.But they were practically family now... It would be safer for him if his true abilities were understood.
Yan Xing spoke truthfully, "Miss Hibel, those were actually just some alchemical gadgets. Look..."
Yan Xing activated the built-in fan in his armor, and the ribbons on the armor danced with the wind. Then he turned on the ambient lights, and what appeared to be overflowing Magic Power shone out from the gaps in the armor.
