Chapter 192: Meeting the parents (3)
The limo drove up to the manor gates where there were guards standing there.
When these guards came over to the limo to check who was inside, I could sense the magic energy coming from them.
These guards…were not weak.
These guards were giving off magic energy fluctuations that were similar to the C Rankers that I had met before.
So that meant that these guards were at least C Rank Awakeners.
Yet they were posted here to guard the gates.
If they were anywhere else, they would be people that would be respected by all, but here they were nothing more than guards.
That really put into perspective the power of the Long Group.
After the guards finished checking us, they let us through the gates.
But strangely, I almost felt as if the guards were giving me a strange look.
I couldn't be certain since they had deadpan looks on their faces, but I could have sworn that they were looking at me in a strange manner.
The limo took at least ten minutes to drive from the gate to the manor itself, showing just how big this estate was.
As we drove past the gardens, I couldn't help being shocked by all the things that I saw.
If it wasn't for the demon king system, I might not have known what these things were.
But since I had the appraisal of the demon king system, I was able to see the descriptions of all of these plants that were in the garden.
Not a single one of them was simple.
Dragon Tongue Herb
A fire attributed herb that has grown in the flames of true blooded dragons.
Raises fire resistance by 10 when eaten.
Thousand Year Old Ice Herb
An ice attributed herb that has grown in the frozen tundra for over a thousand years.
Raises ice resistance by 10 when eaten.
Any one of these herbs would cause quite a stir if it was brought outside the manor, but here they were grown like ordinary plants in the garden.
That was how rich this family was.
After parking in front of the manor, Sebastien came out of the driver seat to open the door for me. However, he still refused to look at me when he opened the door for me, putting me in an awkward situation.
I just got out of the car and then stood there awkwardly since I didn't know what to do.
But before anything else could happen, the doors of the manor suddenly opened and there was a small figure that ran out towards me.
This small figure didn't hesitate to run over to me, but before it could reach me, Sebastien had already moved forward to stand between me and this small figure.
When this small figure saw Sebastien standing there, they revealed a displeased look as they said, "What are you doing?"
Sebastien gave a bow to this small figure before saying, "Young miss, you shouldn't be acting this way. A proper young miss wouldn't act this way."
The one that he was talking to was naturally Long Shui Ling.
She had been waiting at the door and had come out the moment that she saw the limo parked outside.
After all, she was very excited about having Lin Fan meet her parents.
But now that Sebastien was standing in her way, she wouldn't let him stop her.
Long Shui Ling pouted her lips and said, "Sebastien, aren't you being too exaggerated?"
Sebastien once again gave a bow before saying, "Young miss, even if this Sebastien has to overstep, he will not let the young miss stray down the wrong path."
Long Shui Ling still had her lips pouted as she looked at him, but in the end, she gave a sigh and said, "Alright, alright, I get it."
She didn't look like she would approach again and turned around to head back into the manor.
But she also waved at me to follow her as she said, "Let's go in. My parents and grandparents are already waiting for you."
When I heard this, I couldn't help giving a gulp before slowly following behind her.
Her parents and her grandparents were waiting for me, this was clearly not just a normal meeting of the parents…
If they were all gathered here, did that mean that they were here to execute me or was it something else?
I couldn't help feeling more and more anxious as we entered the manor.
Of course, Sebastien came with us, so I didn't get a single moment to talk to Long Shui Ling along to get any information.
He made sure that he was placed right in between us, so that I couldn't even approach her.
At the same time, he made sure to glare at me so that I would feel pressure and back away.
So we just walked in silence through this manor.
I could see the main reception room from the lobby of the manor, but Long Shui Ling didn't head that way. She headed deeper into the manor, into the private parts where they lived.
Was it because they wanted to hide what they were going to do, or was it because they were treating me as one of their own?
If I had to guess, it was more likely the former than the latter.
After walking for a bit, we arrived at our destination.
When I walked in, I could tell that this room was most likely a living room where the members of the Long Family gathered.
This was their private sanctuary for their own private time and I had just been invited in.
Would I be able to leave?
Sitting in the center of the room were two couples, one young and one old.
These were clearly Long Shui Ling's parents and grandparents.
When I walked in, all four pairs of eyes fell onto me immediately.
There were two pairs of eyes that were glaring while the other two had intrigued looks in them.
It seemed that this wouldn't be simple.
