Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Life is Like a Play, It All Depends on Acting
Listening to Yun Miao’s mutters, Yun Lan’s thoughts drifted in another direction.
She wondered, "Teacher, if that mysterious woman warrior is indeed a formidable professional over level seventy, secretly cultivated by Marshal Li as a secret weapon for international war instances, then her appearance here is justified."
"But what about that Li Haotian? Even if he leveled up quickly initially, and who knows by what means he defeated the illusions of me and Jiangwu Youyou."
"But no matter how you look at it, he’s just a low-level professional over twenty levels, so why is he sitting with people like Wang Qingfeng and Ling Xuehan for a meal?"
Hearing her disciple’s question, Yun Miao, after a brief thought, spoke with a look of understanding everything: "If I’m not mistaken, there’s likely some connection between that mysterious woman and Li Haotian."
As she spoke, Yun Miao seemed to affirm her hypothesis, nodding heavily: "That kid Li Haotian is very likely the disciple of that powerful woman."
"And the reason he can level up so fast, even managing to kill your and Jiangwu Youyou’s illusions in a short time, probably has a lot to do with that woman!"
A glint flashed in Yun Miao’s eyes, and she spoke more excitedly: "I suspect that woman’s power is likely related to Beast Taming or Summoning, but in terms of strength, far exceeds ordinary Beast Tamers and Summoners."
"Moreover, her summoned creatures should be able to be temporarily lent to others like a Beast Tamer."
"So, the fast leveling of Li Haotian might not be due to exploiting instance bugs, but by leveraging external power far beyond his current level!"
Yun Miao looked at her disciple with a knowing smile: "Lan’er, haven’t you noticed? At the dining table earlier, that empty seat of the strong woman was right next to Li Haotian, and the other side was Jiangwu Youyou."
"What’s this indicating? It suggests that the person originally sitting in that empty seat is very close to Li Haotian, akin to a senior in his family!"
"It’s precisely because of her that Li Haotian was able to get close to Jiangwu Youyou as soon as he entered Qinghua Academy and even became her boyfriend!"
Yun Miao sneered: "Jiangwu Youyou appears outgoing and generous, but in reality, her pride is no less than yours."
"If Li Haotian were truly just an ordinary orphan, I can’t believe Jiangwu Youyou would agree to be his girlfriend so easily!"
"Hmph! So even though this kid is just a scrap Mechanic, he is still so unique. Fundamentally, it’s not because his profession is strong or that he has some special ability, but because he has a powerful professional over level seventy hiding behind him!"
"I guess that woman must have been attracted by Li Haotian’s unprecedented full Spiritual Power Value."
"Hey, but alas, human plans can’t compete with fate!"
"Although Li Haotian has full Spiritual Power, the profession he awakened to is the most marginalized Illusion God, Mechanic!"
"I must say, that woman truly favors Li Haotian; even after he awakened to such a useless profession, she is still willing to protect him with her abilities and even found ways to send him to Qinghua."
Yun Lan suddenly realized: "So that’s how it is!"
Yun Miao pondered aloud: "However, this way, Li Haotian becomes a clue for us."
"We can investigate that woman’s true identity through Li Haotian."
"I don’t believe that, having shown her hand, that woman can keep hiding, hmph!"
As the two figures walked further away, Yun Miao’s voice slowly faded in the corridor.
...
Sunrise Oriental Suite.
After Yun Miao left, Jiangwu Youyou was about to speak but was stopped by a glance from Ling Xuehan.
Jiangwu Youyou immediately shut her mouth, and the room fell into silence.
A moment later, Ling Xuehan carefully sensed for a while, making sure Yun Miao and the others had gone far, then waved her hand.
As a silver-white light spread out, a faint spatial fluctuation enveloped the entire room, and Ling Xuehan gently nodded to everyone.
"Alright, you all can speak now."
With Ling Xuehan’s signal, Jiangwu Youyou controlled her voice, looked at the empty seat next to Li Haotian, and asked excitedly, "Aunt Ling, was this empty seat purposely set for them to see?"
Ling Xuehan gave Li Haotian an admiring glance: "We owe it all to Haotian’s quick wit."
"After hearing your shout outside the door just now, we immediately guessed that Yun Miao might rush in to inspect."
"Initially, I wanted to avoid it with Haotian, but Haotian said that even if we dodged this time, he would be seen by others as he spent more time with us in the future."
"Rather than that, it’s better to divert attention and shift the focus elsewhere."
Wang Qingfeng approvingly nodded: "I have to admit, junior brother’s consideration was indeed meticulous."
"In Yun Miao’s view, running into us tonight was entirely accidental."
"Only such an ’accidental encounter’ will make Yun Miao firmly believe that the ’female boss’ truly exists."
Jiang Zhen couldn’t help but laugh: "Exactly! Earlier, Haotian exemplified the art of ’feigned retreat’ perfectly, highlighting the persona of a ’young man, eager to conceal yet lacking social experience’ completely."
Ling Xuehan chuckled with a tinge of sarcasm: "Self-proclaimed wise old hands like Yun Miao will only believe in things they ’see with their own eyes.’"
"And Haotian’s performance just now was enough for her to believe in the existence of the ’female boss’."
Wang Qingfeng smiled and nodded: "Not only that, I suspect Yun Miao has now likely filled in many details and conjectures about that ’female boss’ on her own."
"In the future, her emphasis on Haotian will significantly decline, and even if she frequently sees us with Haotian, she won’t focus on him but will try to investigate and ponder the non-existent ’female boss’ through him."
Listening to everyone’s discussion, Jiangwu Youyou giggled at Li Haotian: "Haotian, do you think Yun Miao and the others might think that the ’female boss’ is some distant relative of yours?"
Li Haotian chuckled, teasingly saying: "Why does it have to be a distant relative? Can’t she be my confidante?"
Jiangwu Youyou glared at him, cursing: "Hmph, dream on! You, a mere low-level professional, dare to hope for such a powerful female confidante?"
Li Haotian sighed, nodded, and said: "True, a thirty-level nobody like me, if I were to look for a confidante, it would probably be a low-level professional like you."
Jiangwu Youyou raised an eyebrow and shoved a chicken leg into Li Haotian’s mouth, angrily exclaiming: "How dare you make fun of me? Eat your chicken leg!"
Wang Qingfeng and others burst into laughter.
