He doesn’t actually have any gender bias, just suddenly feels that Lee Zhen has a way with women.
Not to mention Lee Zhen’s previous assistant, even Black Mountain City’s Wu Ying treats Lee Zhen very well, and now there’s another one, Chen Yun.
"One moment, please." The guard didn’t look down on them, just asked them to wait and then let someone go in to report their names.
Before long, Chen Yun came out, wearing luxurious clothes, with fair skin...
At first glance, she looks like a top-class mature woman.
Seeing Lee Zhen, Chen Yun was very happy and stepped forward to say, "What brings you here?"
"Missed an old friend, so I came by."
Chen Yun naturally didn’t believe him, but after glancing at Lin Chen and Qin Shaoshao, she asked, "Your kids?"
"We’ve only known each other for 16 years, back then I didn’t have any kids, do you think my kids could be this big?"
"It’s possible they snuck out early," Chen Yun laughed.
Lin Chen cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Senior, I am Lin Chen."
"Hello," Chen Yun nodded slightly, glanced again at Qin Shaoshao, then scanned her from top to bottom.
She could sense that Qin Shaoshao was not ordinary.
Suddenly, she thought of something and looked at Lee Zhen in disbelief, "She wouldn’t happen to be the one recently rumored in Jiuxing City as that..."
Chen Yun took a breath, she actually cupped her hands and said, "Greetings, Senior."
In this world, strength is revered; even though Qin Shaoshao appears much younger, Chen Yun did not dare to be disrespectful.
Qin Shaoshao slightly nodded, and only then did Chen Yun say, "Come, please come in."
On the way, from the conversation between Lee Zhen and Chen Yun, Lin Chen also learned about how they met.
This goes back to the time when Lee Zhen was still the captain leading Wu Lei and the others.
Chen Yun and her team encountered a Beast Tide during a mission, and later it was Lee Zhen who led a team and rescued her.
It was that battle where two teammates from the Thirteenth Squad died, and afterwards, Lee Zhen quit the Thirteenth Squad and entered management.
Chen Yun felt grateful and always remembered this event, she told Lee Zhen that if ever he needed her help, he could always come to her.
"You didn’t come looking for a job this time, did you?" Chen Yun asked.
"Though I’m down and out now, I’m not to the point of freeloading," Lee Zhen said.
The two chatted like old friends, talking freely for two hours before finally getting to the main topic.
"Is it her Spirit Beast that needs evolving?" Chen Yun pointed at Qin Shaoshao.
Because she thought, generally for Spirit Beast evolutions, a Catalyst Master wasn’t needed.
Nowadays, the evolution system is fairly mature.
The first evolution for a Beastmaster is usually from a basic Spirit Beast to a Spirit Transformation level, and typically doesn’t require a Catalyst Master.
Because basic Spirit Beasts are cheap, and if an evolution fails, they can directly replace it, plus the bond with the Beastmaster isn’t that deep yet.
After the second evolution, it’s different, the Spirit Beast has been with the Beastmaster for a longer time, the bond is deeper, and the chances of higher-level evolution failures are lower.
Since Lin Chen’s level is so low, Chen Yun directly excluded him.
"Both need it, initially we planned for him to be the one..." Lee Zhen did not hide it and explained the situation.
"Him?" Chen Yun scrutinized Lin Chen and said, "There’s no need for a Catalyst Master for a Level 1 evolution, is there?"
"Both of them are Level 1 evolutions," Lee Zhen replied, "and their Spirit Beasts are a bit special."
Chen Yun glanced at the Little Fox on Lin Chen’s shoulder and quickly ruled it out; the level was too low and could be directly ignored.
Then the two summoned their Spirit Beasts, Qin Shaoshao acted quickly, with the Spirit-Devouring Vine appearing first.
Chen Yun took a look and was a bit surprised, but soon she said, "The Spirit-Devouring Vine and Celestial Spirit Body are indeed a good match."
Thinking for a bit, she said, "It’s the first time I’ve encountered a Spirit-Devouring Vine too, but it should be manageable."
At this point, Lee Zhen said, "The other one, you probably haven’t encountered before either."
With those words, under Chen Yun’s expectant gaze, Xiaobai was directly summoned. Chen Yun glanced several times, thinking she must have seen wrong, finally, she incredulously exclaimed:
