Why isn't what I command considered a beast?

He straightened his back, his face still a little red, but his voice was steady: "Old Zhang, don't get any ideas, my daughter is still young!"

"Twenty years old is not actually that young."

"Get lost." His daughter is only sixteen!

Fearing that these old men might actually take his daughter to meet their grandson or son on blind dates, Mingzhi Yun quickly said:

"Xiao Xi'er, let's go home. Daddy will make your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs, braised chicken with chestnuts, and beef brisket with tomatoes!"

"Okay, go home."

Mingxi smiled and naturally took her father's arm.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, see you later."

The elderly people watched the father and daughter walk away, all smiling kindly.

Only Grandpa Li, resting his chin on his hand, muttered to himself:

“Xiao Xi… Ming Zhiyun… Ming…”

Grandpa Li suddenly stood up from his chair!

"Holy crap! Mingxi?!"

"Could Mingxi be the daughter of that slippery little Ming?"

The elderly people were stunned.

"...Old Li, this can't be, can it?"

What does the name "Mingxi" mean in the Jianghuai region?

That's a name even more famous than that of national leaders.

A name that makes them proud!

At this time-

"Gentlemen, I am a member of the National Security Protection Bureau, these are my colleagues, and this is my identification."

Everyone stared blankly at the group of men in black who had suddenly appeared, and the pets that surrounded them.

The so-called National Security Protection Bureau is actually just the official name used by the Golden Radiance Group.

Grandpa Li and the others had never seen anything like this before.

All the worldly experiences I had seen before seemed insignificant.

"...Sirs, what...are you doing?"

Sensing the elderly people's nervousness, the young man in the lead, Lin Shen, who was ordered to protect Mingxi's family, quickly explained, "Grandpas, don't be nervous. We've come to you only to ask you to sign a confidentiality agreement."

The elderly men and women looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Could it be... because of that girl from the Ming family?"

Lin Shen nodded: "Yes, that is the Mingxi Goddess you all know, because her whereabouts and those of her family are confidential."

"That child is truly a deity?!"

"Wow, so there's a real big shot living in our New World City."

"If word gets out, the property prices in New World City will at least double?"

"One? Old dog Li, you underestimate divine-level beast tamers too much. With Xiao Xi, no, with Ming Shen's situation, if people knew that her family lived in our New World City, the house price would increase three or four times!"

"We've hit the jackpot! We're actually living with such an important person!"

"It turns out that Xiaoming wasn't bragging at all; on the contrary, he was being modest."

"From now on, we'd better treat Xiaoming with more respect."

"Sigh, I originally wanted my eldest grandson to try his best to see if he could become in-laws with Xiaoming, but now it's impossible. My eldest grandson is not good enough."

"..."

Lin Shen listened helplessly to the group of elderly men and women who ignored them and chatted happily by themselves, speechless with frustration.

Elderly folks, please show us some respect, okay?

……

Mingxi had no idea that Lin Shen's team had been sent to protect her father and grandmother, nor did she know that because of her return, every household in New World City had been visited by the guard team and forced to sign a confidentiality agreement with the state.

This matter needed to be handled anyway. The home addresses of all special personnel are confidential, especially since Mingxi is a top-level special personnel.

Therefore, this sudden increase in workload was not caused by Mingxi returning home.

Back home, I had a good kiss with my grandmother, and then contacted a few friends, arranging to meet them at the Ted Beast Taming High School anniversary celebration.

For Teddy's centennial celebration, she was naturally invited, despite having only studied there for less than a year, as an outstanding alumna.

And her family.

So she plans to bring her elderly father along.

Perhaps because the father and daughter spend so little time together, the old father cherishes every day he spends with his beloved daughter.

Her grandmother said she was too old to join in the fun.

Mingxi and Mingzhiyun didn't insist.

……

4 month 27 day.

Ted High School was brightly decorated and bustling with activity.

The guest lounge area partitioned off from the main auditorium was where many outstanding alumni and students' parents gathered.

"Oh my, isn't this President Ji? I didn't expect to see you here."

"Haha, Jay Chou, you're here too."

“Well, my son Zhou Ming also graduated from Ted High School. It’s a rare centennial celebration, how could I, as a parent, not come?” Mr. Zhou’s gaze swept over the woman, young man and girl next to Ji Chenggang.

"Is this my sister-in-law and my nephews Youhao and Youran?"

Wei Lanzhi, Ji Youhao, and Ji Youran quickly greeted them.

"Hello, Uncle Jay Chou."

Jay Chou smiled even more like Maitreya Buddha, "Good, good, good to you all too."

"I heard that my nephew Youhao is already a D-level Beast Tamer at such a young age, and he even contracted a rare Shadow Blade Leopard, and was exceptionally selected for the elite training camp in Little Li Country? Is that true?"

Ji Youhao was beaming, clearly enjoying the flattery. He waved his hand modestly, saying, "I've made a breakthrough by chance. There are many young people more outstanding than me. Brother Zhou Ming is much better than me."

"Haha, you're too modest. Zhou Ming was only E-level when he was your age, not as good as you."

Ji Chenggang sighed, "Mr. Zhou, please don't praise him. My son only has a little talent. His aunt and I are just ordinary people, and there's very little we can do to help him."

Fortunately, the child is willing to work hard and is also filial.

So, using the points I earned at the elite training camp, I redeemed a Mental Nourishing Bracelet for both him and his aunt.

He deliberately raised the shimmering bracelet on his wrist.

The so-called "mental health bracelet" is actually a mental wave soothing tool that can relieve emotions, improve concentration, and help with sleep.

Because ordinary people can also wear them, the price is relatively high.

Wei Lanzhi smiled gently and happily, showing off the same bracelet on her wrist, her tone filled with pride: "Yes, Hao Hao is such a sensible child. He spends most of his time training his pets to improve his strength."

I took a special leave to come back from abroad this time, just to personally hand over these spiritual nourishment bracelets to my husband and me.

With a son like this, what more could a husband ask for?

As she spoke, her gaze seemed to casually sweep over her surroundings, basking in the envious looks from the other parents.

Ji Youhao stood to the side, his smile serene.

Unlike her brother, who was praised and boasted about by their parents, Ji Youran, the younger sister, stood quietly a little further back, expressionless and with a cold gaze.

She transferred to Ted High School at the beginning of this year and became Mingxi's junior.

At that moment, several cheerful laughs and conversations drifted over.

Principal Shu Shaoguang of Ted High School and several school leaders were accompanying a middle-aged man in a dark blue suit, with his back ramrod straight and a golden pet perched on his shoulder, as he walked in from another passageway.

Shu Shaoguang wore a genuinely respectful smile, slightly turned to the side, personally leading the way, and whispering something to the middle-aged man, his attitude almost humble.
