Chapter 231
Chapter 231 A Casual Greeting
Xia Xinyan had no intentions of hiding her plans at all.
She walked right up to the man and, with a charming look, smashed him with a mental allure: “Good evening~! Can we chat alone?”
The other two girls immediately looked at her with hostile glares—after all, this was their catch, and how could they let someone else take him away?
Moreover, it was undeniable that this girl was indeed much prettier than they were.
This triggered a sense of crisis within them as they quickly turned around, planning to bind the man beside them to their hearts in their own way—but Xia Xinyan’s mental allure was far from something they could counter with just a few words. The man pushed the two girls aside without any pity, seemingly enchanted, and fixated all his attention on Xia Xinyan: “Of course, please sit down, miss.”
The two girls who were pushed aside: “…”
Xia Xinyan glanced at them and casually added a layer of mental allure to them as well: “You don’t need to be here anymore; you can leave.”
The two girls seemed momentarily dazed and obediently left.
Then, Xia Xinyan sat down across from the man and softly asked, “What’s your name?”
“Long San.”
“…Is your boss called Long Yi?”
“No, he’s called Long Zun.”
“…”
What a tacky taste.
That was Xia Xinyan’s first impression of this organization.
After pondering for two seconds, she continued to ask, “Where is your organization’s base?”
At her words, Long San clearly showed a look of resistance, seemingly unwilling to answer the question but also feeling unable not to respond given her presence.
Noticing this, Xia Xinyan raised an eyebrow.
The mental allure wasn’t completely unreasonable; the stronger the opponent’s power, the weaker the effect of her allure became. When dealing with someone who had already gained abilities, her power wasn’t that effective.
It only had a tiny bit of ineffectiveness.
With a faint smile, Xia Xinyan deepened the suggestive tone in her voice: “I’m very interested in Canglong and would like to join Canglong. Can you take me to see the base?”
Upon hearing this, the effect of the mental allure finally gained the upper hand in Long San’s mind, and he immediately said, “Sure! I can introduce you to my boss. Do you want to go see him now?”
“Now is fine,” Xia Xinyan turned to look at Ling Mo and the others, “Also, I have a few friends who also want to join Canglong. Can you take us all with you?”
Ling Mo noticed her glance and walked over with Monica and An Xiao.
Long San gave them a casual glance but didn’t ask anything: “Sure, I can take you there right now.”
With that, he directly stood up and moved in front of Xia Xinyan, reaching out to hold her hand, but was first blocked by Ling Mo.
Seeing this, Long San frowned: “Who are you?”
“I’m her boyfriend,” Ling Mo replied calmly.
Long San’s expression immediately changed. He leaned forward and questioned Xia Xinyan: “You have a boyfriend?”
“Yeah,” Xia Xinyan smiled slightly, deepening the control of her mental allure, “but we’re not engaged yet.”
“Then he’s just a boyfriend,” Long San looked up at Ling Mo, scoffing, “Trust me, you won’t be her boyfriend for long. Love is only for the strong.”
Ling Mo: “…”
Forget it, not worth the effort to retort.
Long San didn’t argue further; instead, he turned and walked toward the bar’s exit: “Let’s go, I’ll take you to Canglong.”
An Xiao was stunned: “…Wait, you’re planning to just walk in like this? Seriously?”
“What else?” Xia Xinyan shook her head, “Better to resolve it sooner rather than later—unless you’re worried we’ll ruin your observation sample?”
“Not…,” An Xiao was confused, “It’s just the four of us, and I’m not even combat-worthy. Have you really thought this through?”
“If you’re worried, you can wait outside; we’ll manage,” Xia Xinyan said seriously, “But I suggest you come in with us. That way we can protect you.”
She considered that with An Xiao’s abilities, she definitely wouldn’t have been nameless in her previous life, so perhaps this girl had a mishap while researching Canglong. Even if it was only a possibility, she needed to be cautious; saving and nurturing this girl could greatly benefit them in the future.
An Xiao paused, feeling a bit helpless: “You didn’t mention anything about this before we came.”
“Well, I’m mentioning it now. What’s your decision?”
“Wait,” Long San finally couldn’t help but interject, “What are you talking about?”
“She’s not strong enough and is worried Canglong won’t want her,” Xia Xinyan casually replied.
An Xiao: “…”
Even if that was the case, was it necessary to just say it outright?
However, Long San believed her: “That’s okay. As long as you’re willing to join Canglong, my boss won’t reject anyone.”
“Alright, I’ll go in with you,” An Xiao sighed, “Since you guys aren’t afraid of danger, staying outside would just make me look irresponsible…”
Xia Xinyan smiled: “Don’t worry, that’s the right decision.”
With that, she nodded to Long San: “Take us in to meet your boss.”
Long San immediately turned around and walked inside.
At the moment he turned his back to them, Xia Xinyan activated her abilities, revealing a chilling tail with a friendly smile—
“Let’s go say hello.”
