Most people wouldn't take Su 'Er's words to heart, and they would only think that she was overreacting because Ling Tian City had been attacked. However, Ling Chen couldn't ignore it. After walking out of the Administrative Center, he was still thinking about what Su' Er had said, thinking about all sorts of possibilities … however, the Forgotten God Representative had indeed been affected by the Soulstealing Curse, and even if the Forgotten City was 10 times more courageous, they wouldn't dare to attack Ling Tian City. Even if they did, they wouldn't be able to threaten Ling Tian City at all. What's more, Ling Tian City was backed by the Underworld, and even massive beings like the Dragon Clan and Moon Deities would have to think twice before coming to cause trouble.
Just as he walked out, Ling Chen saw 3 middle-aged men walking towards him. These 3 people were evidently not battle players, and their levels were quite low. They were all wearing expensive and formal clothing, and there wasn't a single trace of battle equipment on them. As the 3 of them walked, their heads were slightly tilted upwards, and they didn't even look at Ling Chen, who was walking past them, looking incredibly arrogant. Looking at the direction they were walking towards, Ling Chen frowned and slowed down. He silently looked at their backs until they stopped in front of the Administrative Center's central building.
"Apologies, this is an important place for the City Lords to work. Without an appointment, no one is allowed to come near or enter."
This was the centre of Ling Tian City's Administrative Center, and it was the core of Ling Tian City. Yun Meng Xin, Li Xiao Xue, and the other people who controlled the development of the new city were all here, so the people guarding here were naturally not low-levelled players. Rather, they were 2 young Celestial grade Elves.
Although the three middle-aged men's approach was very abrupt, the kind-hearted elves still politely expressed their intention not to come any closer. However, his politeness was met with a displeased yell from the middle-aged man on the right, "Move aside, we want to go in!"
The 2 Elves simultaneously frowned, but they still said in a friendly manner, "Without an appointment or permission from the City Lord, no one is allowed to enter. Apologies …"
"I don't want to repeat myself." The voice of the middle-aged man who spoke earlier turned violent. Looking at his appearance, it was obvious that he had always been arrogant and condescending. The two Elves in front of him looked no different from humans, so they were directly treated as two guard players. Not only did he not speak politely, he did not even put them in his eyes at all. "Get out of the way immediately, and then take us to your city lord … Not everyone can be stopped by you! Do you know who we are? Your city lord is my niece! This was her Third Uncle, her biological father! If you continue to waste our time, you'll have to bear the consequences!! "
In the distance, Ling Chen, who hadn't left, slowly narrowed his eyes. At this moment, Xiao Qi walked over and was about to call out to him, but Ling Chen hurriedly waved his finger, signaling her to keep quiet. Xiao Qi was startled, and followed Ling Chen's line of sight. Immediately, her expression became ugly, and she puffed up her cheeks, "Hmph! It's big sister Meng Xin's father and 2 uncles. They actually found this place. They're definitely not looking for big sister Meng Xin for anything good. "
"Ai! Don't say things like that. After all, these 2 little brothers don't know who we are. Moreover, they're doing their duty. " The middle-aged man in the middle spoke, then said to the 2 Elf guards in a friendly manner, "2 little brothers, I'm the father of your Lady Yun. I have urgent matters to discuss with her, please take us to see her."
As Ling Tian City developed, the name of the City Lord Yun Meng Xin spread throughout the world. Adding on her peerlessly beautiful appearance, her fame and popularity rose to the top. Fey saying that Yun Meng Xin was the most famous and popular woman in the world was not an exaggeration at all. As such, her identity as the Yun family financial group's heiress, Hua Xia, was also known by everyone. Because of this, the Yun family financial group's status also rose. Although Ling Tian City had only been established for less than 2 months, the Yun family financial group's benefits from Yun Meng Xin's fame were immeasurable. As Yun Meng Xin's relatives, especially close relatives, they all felt that their statuses had skyrocketed.
As Yun Meng Xin's father, Yun Zheng Fan was even more pleased with himself. He even looked down on the Li family, who he could only look up to in the past and had no hope of surpassing … so what if the Li family was powerful in the past? My Yun family has the most powerful daughter in the world, and your Li family's daughter is still my Yun family's daughter's subordinate!
Now, everyone looked at him in a completely different light. Because of Ling Tian City's massive influence in the virtual world, countless rich and powerful people tried to curry favor with him in order to have a place in Ling Tian City. This included many people whose statuses were far above his in the past. This made Yun Zheng Fan, who already had an incredibly high status, feel incredibly smug, and he felt as if he could look down on everyone.
Facing these 2 'players' who were guarding this place, he announced his identity. He thought that the 2 players would be so scared that their faces would turn ashen, and that they would bow and scrape to take them to see Yun Meng Xin. However, the 2 Fairies only calmly glanced at them. Because of their arrogance and rudeness, even the Fairies were enraged. Guarding this place was their duty, no matter who they were facing. One of the Elves expressionlessly said, "I don't care who you are. If you don't have an appointment or the City Lord's permission, please leave immediately. If you don't leave, we'll have to forcefully expel you."
"You!" Yun Zheng Fan's expression froze, and his face turned the color of a pig's liver. He never thought that with his current status, two measly gatekeepers would dare to disrespect him like this. This was even worse than being slapped in the face by someone with a higher status than him. He immediately became flustered and exasperated as he shouted, "You two shameless things, didn't you hear who your elder is?! Get out of the way! If you continue to be so ungrateful, your elder's one sentence will make you piss off from here forever! "
The 2 people next to him also looked incredibly furious as they loudly cursed at the 2 Elves. If this was in the real world, they would most likely have called for people to go up and beat them up. At that moment, a gentle and cold voice sounded out, "What is it?"
These three words were short, but they contained a threatening aura. This one sentence questioned everyone present at the same time. As the voice sounded out, Yun Meng Xin slowly walked out. She wore a plain white dress and looked incredibly elegant.
"City Lord." Seeing that Yun Meng Xin had personally come out, the 2 Elves immediately stood to the side and bowed as they greeted her. Yun Zheng Fan savagely glared at the 2 Elves and coldly harrumphed. He immediately smiled as he and the 2 people behind him welcomed Yun Meng Xin, "Meng Xin, so you're here. Your Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and I have come to see you."
"Meng Xin, we haven't seen you in a few months, but you've become more and more beautiful. You're quite the City Lord."
"No less than expected from our Yun family's daughter. As elders, we're very happy."
Facing their smiles, Yun Meng Xin's expression was relatively calm as she said, "Welcome to Ling Tian City. I have many things to do here, so if you have anything to say, just say it. If you don't have anything to say, feel free to take a walk around the City."
Yun Zheng Fan's expression did not change at all – evidently, he was already used to Yun Meng Xin's attitude. He chuckled as he nodded, saying, "Of course I have something to say." He then looked around as he said, "There's a lot of people here; let's talk inside."
"No need, we can talk here," Yun Meng Xin expressionlessly replied.
Yun Zheng Fan's expression froze for a moment before returning to normal as he nodded, "That's good too. There's nothing much to say. It's just what I told you last time … Ling Tian City is becoming bigger and bigger, and managing it is becoming more and more difficult. As a girl, it's simply too difficult for you to manage. As your father, how could I not feel heartache? You're my daughter, and one of the successors of the Yun family. Our Yun family has the responsibility and strength to help you manage Ling Tian City … "
Speaking to there, Ling Tian, who was silently watching, slightly raised his eyebrows before coldly smiling. The Yun family's ambition was quite simple – anyone would be envious of Ling Tian City's development. Moreover, Yun Meng Xin was the number one City Lord of Ling Tian City, so how could they hold themselves back? Evidently, they wanted to take a big slice of the pie and gradually control Ling Tian City.
Beside him, Xiao Qi angrily stomped her foot as she yelled in a low voice, "So it's this again! They treated big sister Meng Xin so badly before, and now that she's the City Lord, they're doing the same thing again. Before, they kept looking for big sister Meng Xin, causing her to move and even change her phone. Now, they've come to the city again … they're simply too shameless! "
Ling Chen: "… …"
Yun Meng Xin had not returned to the Yun family this entire time, and after receiving so much attention overnight, Ling Chen was not worried about her safety. After all, she was being protected by Gui Ya in the dark. Now that Yun Meng Xin had secretly moved to Xiao Qi's home and was protected by the Battle Alliance, her safety was guaranteed.
"That's right, that's right. You're my Yun family's daughter, so your city naturally belongs to our Yun family. It's only right for our family to help you. Although I, your second uncle, don't know much about games, your cousin Yun Lan and the others are quite familiar with it. Adding on our Yun family's wealth, we'll definitely be able to bring Ling Tian City to greater heights. "
"Haha, it's only right for Third Uncle to help his niece. That's right, I heard that the part of the city that's being expanded hasn't been decided yet. How about we leave it to Third Uncle? With Third Uncle's abilities, how can you not trust him? "
Hearing their words, the 2 Fairy Protectors looked furious, and looked at Yun Meng Xin worriedly. The 2 of them completely understood that these 3 people were indeed the City Lord's relatives, but they couldn't help but feel disgusted by their words and actions. They simply couldn't accept these kinds of people entering the management of Ling Tian City.
Yun Meng Xin quietly listened to them until they finished speaking. Her eyes did not waver at all. It was obvious that she was well aware of their intentions. She calmly looked at them as she softly said, "I understand. I still have many things to do, so forgive me for not being able to receive you. If there's nothing else, please leave."
"Ai, ai … Meng Xin!" Yun Zheng Fan hurriedly walked forwards as he hurriedly said, "We know you're busy, but … but are we going to agree to this or not? At least give us an answer so that we can make preparations."
Yun Meng Xin looked at him as she said, "I'll say it again: Ling Tian City doesn't belong to me alone. It has many, many owners, and I'm only managing it for them. I don't have the authority to decide what you're talking about."
"But, but you're the City Lord; if you can't make the decision, who can? We're doing this for your own good! "Yun Zheng Fan hurriedly said.
"Thank you for your kind intentions, but I don't have the authority to decide what you're talking about," Yun Meng Xin calmly said. She couldn't be bothered to explain anymore as she turned to leave.
Yun Zheng Fan's face twisted, but in front of Yun Meng Xin, he didn't dare to become angry. He lightly sighed as he said, "Meng Xin, you should think about this a bit more. I know I owe you too much, but in the end, I'm your father, and you're also a daughter of the Yun family. At the very least, it was the Yun Family who raised you. Now that your name has spread far and wide, even if it's to repay the Yun Family for raising you, you can't forget about them. "
"… …" Yun Meng Xin remained silent.
Xiao Qi's face became red in anger, "Despicable! They're too despicable! They know big sister Meng Xin's heart is soft, so they're playing the emotional card!! Why don't they think about how they treated big sister Meng Xin back then? Completely disregarding her thoughts and happiness, not only did you treat her as a tool for the benefit of the entire clan, you even forced her to not return home. You even forbade everyone, including Brother Yunfeng, from giving her any help … You're really really … really too shameless! "
"Don't worry, Meng Xin knows what to do," Ling Chen said as he smiled.
"Ai," Yun Zheng Fan sighed as he continued, "Meng Xin, I don't want to force you, but think about what I said to your Second and Third Uncle. Also, tomorrow is your grandfather's 70th birthday. You haven't been home in a long time, but as the Yun family's daughter, you have to go home. It's best if you can stay for a while. After all, that's your home. I've already prepared your room for you. "
"I understand," Yun Meng Xin replied, then turned and returned to the Administrative Centre.
The 3 people looked at each other and shook their heads as they unhappily left.
"They're finally gone. I'll go and comfort big sister Meng Xin; she's definitely in a bad mood right now." After the 3 people left, Xiao Qi hurriedly entered the Administrative Building.
Ling Chen stood there and frowned as he thought for a while. He picked up his communication device and said in a low voice, "Gui Ya, if everything goes as planned, Yun Meng Xin will be returning to the Yun family to attend Old Man Yun's 70th birthday. Make sure she's safe, and bring a few people with her."
