Oh No! It's the Feeling of

Qin Lele's unrestrained actions instantly added a large number of activity points to Xu Nan's account.

This was the city center, with people coming and going, and generally, no one was interested in other people's gossip.

Moreover, it was already 2019, and the sugar daddy scenario, where both parties were willing, was probably something many people had already gotten used to.

The key was the strong contrast between Qin Lele and Xu Nan's appearances; the visual impact was too obvious.

Qin Lele was originally very beautiful and pure, the kind of girl who looked very lovable and vibrant.

With her hanging onto Xu Nan like that, the effect of the Disguise technique was fully displayed.

Xu Nan could feel that if the scornful looks directed at him had weight, he would have been crushed to death long ago.

He pulled Qin Lele off him, dragged her for a distance, and then stopped to scold her:

"Comrade Captain, did you understand the question? It needs to be elegant!"

"With you doing this, people are uncomfortable, but is it elegant?"

Qin Lele pouted, "I think it's quite elegant."

"Let's not talk about this..."

Xu Nan felt a pang of annoyance. How could he have been so foolish as to think Qin Lele would have any good ideas?!

"Where is your mother?"

To be honest, Xu Nan was a little apprehensive. Qin Lele had been neglecting her proper duties lately, always hanging out with him. People who didn't know the inside story might think he was a lolicon.

Meeting the parents now, would it be too soon... Bah! What if her mother misunderstood that he had some ulterior motive towards Qin Lele? That wouldn't be good.

"She'll be here in a bit. Let's go wait over there."

Qin Lele smiled at Xu Nan, "My mom always scolds me for not doing anything proper. I could only bring you out."

Xu Nan didn't mind. Although he was afraid of trouble, Qin Lele was his person after all, and he should help his own people.

"Do you need me to do anything?"

He asked.

"You don't need to do anything, just be handsome... Oh no, just be ugly," Qin Lele smiled, "Anyway, I told her you're my boyfriend."

Xu Nan: "???"

You didn't say this in the WeChat messages before!

Xu Nan frowned and said, "What's going on? As a future Dungeon Master, I never get involved in messy relationships with my subordinates."

Qin Lele looked at him pitifully, "There's nothing I can do. I told her I started a study group and tutor everyone every day, but she didn't believe me and even scolded me for wasting time and not doing anything proper."

"When I found a rich and powerful boyfriend, she immediately quieted down and even booked a plane ticket to go abroad... She just wanted to check on me before she left, afraid that my judgment wasn't good."

Xu Nan was stunned.

"...Is studying not doing anything proper? May I ask what your mother considers proper?"

Qin Lele tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Finding a rich man, I guess."

Xu Nan's worldview completely shattered.

No wonder there was such a big difference between Qin Lele and Zhang Yingluo, who were cousins. With a mother like this, it was probably a testament to Qin Lele's own excellence that she grew up wildly and didn't turn into a delinquent.

"Alright, I'll meet your mother in a bit."

Xu Nan felt a little heartache for Qin Lele.

This child looked carefree, but she was actually very sensitive and delicate; growing up in a single-parent family, and with her mother constantly away and messing around outside, it was truly not easy.

Just at this moment, a woman wearing sunglasses walked over in a hurry.

Qin Lele lowered her head and reluctantly called out, "Mom."

Xu Nan subconsciously wanted to follow suit and call out "Mom," but the other party's perfume stimulated him, and he instantly choked back the word with a jolt.

"Is this your boyfriend?"

To be honest, if Qin Lele hadn't said this was her mother, Xu Nan really couldn't tell her age.

Qin Lele nodded.

"You go wait over there for a while. I'll talk to this Mr. Xu alone."

Qin Lele's mother spoke slowly and deliberately, but with great authority. Even the mischievous Qin Lele sheepishly slipped away, only giving Xu Nan an encouraging look.

Xu Nan braced himself and greeted, "Hello, A..."

Before the word "Auntie" could leave his mouth, he was interrupted by the other party, "My surname is Fang, call me Ms. Fang."

"Young man, your makeup skills are excellent."

As soon as Ms. Fang spoke, there was a hint of aggressiveness.

Xu Nan was slightly startled.

Could she also be a Professional, and his Disguise technique didn't work on her?

As if she saw Xu Nan's surprise, Ms. Fang smiled slightly:

"No need to be surprised. Your makeup skills are practically Disguise; I didn't see any flaws either. But I know my own daughter very well."

"The boyfriend she finds must be a great handsome guy."

Xu Nan scratched his head awkwardly, not knowing how to refute or respond.

He couldn't possibly say that he was actually ugly, could he?

Xu Nan didn't like lying.

"She deliberately made you make yourself a little ugly, right? Heh heh, I know that child's thoughts clearly." Ms. Fang sneered dismissively.

Sweat beaded on Xu Nan's forehead, but he still complimented, "Ms. Fang is brilliant!"

"It's not brilliant; like mother, like daughter!" Ms. Fang said smugly.

Xu Nan: "???"

What she said made so much sense that Xu Nan didn't know how to refute it!

But the key point was, was this something to be proud of? Wasn't she just putting herself down?

Xu Nan could only give an awkward laugh to show respect.

The conversation with Ms. Fang was far from pleasant, as she firmly held the dominant position in the discussion.

Xu Nan's little tricks were nothing in front of this 'demon' who had dealt with who knows how many men.

He also knew that the more he said, the more he would expose. Anyway, he was just filling in for Qin Lele while her mother was back in the country, so he might as well stay silent and listen to Ms. Fang talk on and on.

"...Lele said your family is very powerful and can control a city?"

After talking for a while, Ms. Fang finally got to the point.

Xu Nan thought for a moment. A Dungeon seemed to be a city too.

So he nodded, "Something like that."

Ms. Fang said happily, "She said Mr. Xu's family has a profound scholarly background and is good at composing poetry?"

Xu Nan thought for a moment. The poems in the Chinese language textbooks could also be considered poetry, right?

So he nodded again, "I can compose a little."

Ms. Fang smiled radiantly, "She also said that you love nature, like animals, and keep a national treasure at home?"

This was correct.

No matter how wild and unrestrained A Tang was, unless Xu Nan gave her a new skin and turned her into a husky, she was a national treasure.

Xu Nan nodded frankly, "It was a coincidence, due to luck."

Ms. Fang was very satisfied. She nodded, "I'm going to catch my flight. My daughter is entrusted to you, Mr. Xu."

Xu Nan: "???"

She's entrusting her daughter to me? Are you sure she's your biological daughter?

Ms. Fang called out to Qin Lele. Xu Nan and she walked Ms. Fang to the car. She gave Qin Lele several obvious glances, but Qin Lele pretended not to see them.

Ms. Fang's car slowly drove away.

Xu Nan breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Lele said somewhat shyly, "My mom is still very easy to get along with, right!"

Xu Nan thought about it. Compared to the mothers-in-law in online novels who looked down on people and broke off engagements at the drop of a hat, Ms. Fang could be considered kind and benevolent.

It was just that this one's values seemed a bit skewed.

"She and I snatched you from Zhang Yingluo. She was overjoyed. I heard she failed to snatch a man from my aunt back then..."

Qin Lele sighed, "Xu Nan, tell me, how could I have such a mother?"

Xu Nan didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only pat her head:

"Actually, Ms. Fang is quite good."

Qin Lele grabbed him and looked at him warily, "You actually said she's good! You've never said I'm good!"

"Tell me, did you take a fancy to my mom? Did she try to hook up with you just now?"

Xu Nan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

He looked at Qin Lele in disbelief, "How could you think that!"

Qin Lele snorted, took out her phone, and the screen clearly showed the message Ms. Fang had just sent her—

[This young man is good. Since he's rich, powerful, and handsome, trick him home first, then cook the rice into cooked rice. Your mom will benefit from it in the future!]

Xu Nan looked at it for a long time, feeling like there were too many things to complain about and not knowing where to start.

"As far as I know, she wants you to trick him!"

Qin Lele stared at Xu Nan, "You really don't have any feelings for her?!"

Xu Nan just gave her a roll of his eyes.

Qin Lele was overjoyed and pulled Xu Nan's hand, running:

"It's rare to come to Fangzheng Square, accompany me shopping this afternoon!"

Xu Nan was shocked.

He had never gone shopping with a girl before; this was his first time.

However, Qin Lele was full of energy and didn't give Xu Nan a chance to resist. He was half-pushed and half-dragged along, and in the end, he compromised.

The two of them spent half the afternoon shopping in Fangzheng Square.

Xu Nan was exhausted and panting.

At a famous fashion store, under the surprised gazes of the staff, Qin Lele tried on a fur coat that was clearly inconsistent with her image as a fifteen-year-old girl.

"How is it?" She jumped in front of Xu Nan, full of anticipation.

"Terrible!"

Xu Nan only said half a sentence, then covered his heart with one hand, signaling Qin Lele to figure it out herself.

The girl's face was full of shyness: "...Is it the feeling of a racing heart?"

Xu Nan sneered and looked up:

"...It's the feeling of a myocardial infarction."

[Activity Points +2000, from Qin Lele]

Xu Nan smiled slightly. As expected, the damage caused to Professionals is double experience!

I've been shopping with you for so long, it's time to collect some interest.

In the evening, at the Tianming Teahouse near University City.

In a private room.

The elegant sound of the guqin lingered.

Xu Nan sat there feeling a little uneasy. In front of him was a stylish middle-aged man wearing sunglasses late at night, which was a bit surprising.

"...I've read your information. Your image is acceptable. For now, you'll be assigned to my department."

The middle-aged man's voice was quite magnetic. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be Xu Nan's mentor in the ThousandRadiance Society.

Xu Nan always felt that this mentor looked a little familiar.

"My name is Wu Sanpao. The newcomer training camp is in three days. Don't embarrass our department."

"You might not know this, but they all look down on us Sorcerers, thinking that the Sorcerer profession relies on bloodline and has a bleak future; they also think we have no technical skill. Hmph, aren't they just jealous that we're good-looking?"

"We have to bear the bad reputation left by those useless Sorcerers in the Pro World. In fact, a lot of it is prejudice."

"For example, within the ThousandRadiance Society now, many people still think that we Sorcerers are sexually promiscuous and have poor private lives. Heh heh!"

The mentor became more and more agitated, even taking off his sunglasses!

"Do you think your private life is poor? I don't think so. When I was young, I just clapped for love with a few fans. It was a consensual thing, what can they say?"

"I clapped based on my looks, why am I promiscuous?"

Xu Nan felt his scalp tingle a bit.

He suddenly remembered why the person in front of him looked a little familiar.

Wu Sanpao, wasn't he the popular entertainment star from a few years ago who was later exposed for sleeping with countless fans and quietly withdrew from the entertainment industry?

How the hell did he suddenly transform and become an insider in the ThousandRadiance Society?

Looking at him, he didn't seem to have a military background at all?

Xu Nan's heart was full of doubts.

However, he decided to ask the important questions:

"Teacher Wu, what's the deal with the newcomer training camp?"
