Armor Guardians

Chapter 88 Suppression
Filled with curiosity, Xia Qianmeng followed along. Moreover, her master, Ye Ying, was also there, so she could go and hand in her mission while she was there.

However, to Xia Qianmeng's surprise, her master Ye Ying and a man both had smiles on their faces as they watched the boys and girls rushing towards them. It was quite strange.
Then, the girl gave Ye Ying a warm hug, and Ye Ying affectionately patted her head.

Seeing this scene, Xia Qianmeng recalled the way the boys and girls had addressed her master and the man next to her master, and suddenly... Xia Qianmeng understood. She understood everything. So, her master was already a mother?

Seeing her master's family's intimate scene, Xia Qianmeng unconsciously found herself thinking of her own father, mother, and...sister. Sigh...

After spending some time with her daughter, Ye Ying noticed Xia Qianmeng's arrival. Curious, she looked at Xia Qianmeng and asked, "Qianmeng, have you completed your mission?"

"Huh? Hmm~"

Xia Qianmeng reacted quickly, then squatted down and took out a purple crystal from her backpack. It was the crystal core of the super-grade mutant beast.

After taking out the crystal core, Xia Qianmeng put her backpack back on. Then, she took the crystal core to her master, Ye Ying, and submitted the mission: "Master, this is the crystal core of a top-grade alien beast. I have completed the mission."

When Xia Qianmeng took out the crystal core, Ye Ying was not surprised at all, because she knew Xia Qianmeng's strength well. It would be strange if she couldn't complete this mission, unless... there was no special-grade alien beast for her to fight.

Even so, Ye Ying still picked up the top-grade mutant beast core, looked at it, and then nodded in response to Xia Qianmeng: "Yes, you did very well. From now on, you will be a mercenary in my Shadow Group."

However, Ye Ying had barely finished speaking when one of her sons interrupted her: "Mother, that's impossible, isn't it? To obtain a top-tier alien beast core, you have to defeat a top-tier alien beast. With her? Could it be that she bought it or stole it?"

“Exactly, exactly, that’s what I think too. I can only take on mid-level mutant beasts one-on-one right now. She can defeat a top-level mutant beast? I don’t believe it.” Ye Ying’s other son echoed his brother’s words. Actually, it’s not surprising that the two boys thought this way. Xia Qianmeng is a girl, but she is still dressed as a boy, so she appears somewhat pale and thin, not at all like a master who could defeat a top-level mutant beast.

Xia Qianmeng didn't say anything about the boys' questions. Although she disliked them, they were, after all, her master's children, and Master Ye Ying had been kind to her, so she... endured it.

Hearing her two sons' remarks, Ye Ying didn't immediately refute them. Instead, she thought for a moment before tentatively asking them, "In that case, why don't you two have a competition with them? What do you say?"

"Good~"

"No problem~"

Looking at her sons' confident expressions, Ye Ying smiled helplessly. The reason she made this suggestion was to tell her children that there are always people more capable than you.

That's right. Because her parents are high-ranking members of a privately-owned mercenary organization called the photo studio, they act arrogantly in their dealings with others. Then, when things go wrong, she has to clean up their messes. It's such a hassle.

So Ye Ying thought, maybe this is a good opportunity to suppress them.
