Star Hunter.

Chapter 294 Xilin...Your Highness?

The place Yuan Xingming mentioned was relatively close to the main wedding venue, but it was in a different direction from where Xilin had initially landed. Plus, they encountered those speeding people along the way, so it took them some time to get there by flying car. (View this book on Baidu Tiantian Shuba)

That place was a recreational spot specially built by the Lor family for young people to have fun and socialize. Even before landing, you could tell from the air that it was a lively place.

More than half of the noble children who came to this planet for the wedding have gathered here. Some are in twos and threes, while others are in groups, all talking with people they know and looking for opportunities to build relationships with people of higher status.

Xilin parked the flying car at the designated spot. The parking lot was filled with dazzling luxury cars, many of which had the "Whirlwind" logo. This logo signifies luxury, and people use them to show off their status.

Lunani and Libero were clearly familiar with the "Cyclone." Lunani's father owned a Cyclone, but she also had one, though not a standard model. Custom-made cars required advance booking, and unless you provided design drawings, you had to wait in line. Of course, if your background was strong enough, the Szel family would definitely give you some face and make it in advance.

Back in the 23rd Star Region, Lunan could still be a little arrogant, but in the context of the entire empire, she simply didn't have the courage. The sight of these luxury cars made Lunan feel insecure, after all, she knew all too well the way things were done in aristocratic circles.

Watching Xilin calmly park the rental car in an empty spot surrounded by gleaming luxury cars, Li Bello opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. He certainly wouldn't have been as calm as Xilin; he wouldn't have parked there either, but at another public rental point a little further away. So, seeing Xilin's reaction, Li Bello felt a little hot. He glanced around guiltily, thankfully most of the services were automated, and no one seemed to have seen him.

After parking the car, Xilin, holding the restless gray cat, called to Lunani and Libero, who seemed a little hesitant, and headed towards the place Yuan Xingming had mentioned.

Lunan followed closely behind Xilin, afraid he would leave her there alone. As for Ribero, he saw several acquaintances, but chose to ignore their disdainful and provocative glances. They wouldn't dare be too presumptuous here anyway. It was an internal rule; in such a gathering place of nobles, everyone tried their best to display their manners and refinement, temporarily setting aside any personal grudges they might have.

Firstly, they weren't the main characters in this incident; secondly, they didn't dare to take the lead, since there were others of higher status present. To avoid unnecessary trouble, everyone would choose to back down. The center would be the highest-ranking individuals; anyone who caused too much trouble would be seen as trying to steal their thunder. This was an unspoken rule.

"Luna!"

Lunan was nervously following Xilin, not paying much attention to the people around her. Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice and looked over.

"Luna" is her nickname, and only close acquaintances call her that. However, the person calling her now isn't exactly a close friend. But here, to show off their extensive network, everyone likes to use nicknames when they meet acquaintances. Of course, this only applies to those whose status isn't higher than theirs; they would absolutely never dare to use that nickname when facing someone of higher status.

The girl who walked over, carrying her tutu, came from a middle-class noble family, just like Lunani's. However, unlike Lunani, this girl knew many people in the noble circle and enjoyed associating with the upper-class nobles.

"Sister Vera, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Luna pulled up her skirt and gave a noble greeting.

Vera, who had just walked over, didn't pay much attention to Lunani. Instead, she looked at Xilin and Ribello beside her. Ribello wore the insignia of the Lor family, but Xilin didn't have any insignia. Although she had never seen the two before, Vera, who had spent many years among the upper nobility, wouldn't underestimate them. She smiled and greeted Xilin and Ribello, and Xilin and Ribello returned the greeting.

Vera was used to judging a person's status and refinement by the proper manners and proficiency of their greetings. Xilin and Libero's greetings were spontaneous and natural, yet quite proper, not the kind of deliberate imitation. This made Vera think highly of them, but since she didn't know them, and Vera believed she had met all the people of status among the upper nobility, she wouldn't take them seriously even if she thought highly of them.

"Luna, you didn't even tell me you were coming! That's so inconsiderate!" Vera said, feigning anger.

"I'm so sorry, I came with my father and didn't originally plan to come, so I didn't want to trouble you." Lunan felt her smile was getting a little stiff, but on the surface it was still impeccable, after all, this was an essential skill for a nobleman.

"Since that's the case, I forgive you. Luna, let me tell you, I've made a lot of new friends these past two days. Come on, I'll introduce you to them."

Vera loved to show off her superiority, which Lunan knew, of course. Getting to know more upper-class nobles was certainly a good thing, but Lunan felt insecure in this unfamiliar environment. Knowing the filth hidden beneath the glamorous exterior of the nobility made young Lunan hesitant to make any decisions. Compared to Vera, Lunan trusted Xilin more, so she politely declined Vera's invitation.

"Alright then, this is a great opportunity, don't miss it and you'll regret it."

Since Lunani refused, Vera didn't waste any more time there and quickly said goodbye to leave and go to another group to connect with others.

"You humans are so fake," the gray cat said, perched on Xilin's shoulder.

Xilin gently tugged at the gray cat's whiskers. "So don't try to be like humans."

Since the three were relatively unfamiliar faces and their badges weren't particularly attractive, no one approached them. Xilin, enjoying the peace and quiet, went directly to the location Yuan Xingming had mentioned.

I thought it was a public place, but who knew there were people at the entrance checking my identity.

"Usually, robots handle identity checks here. If there are no service robots serving tea, then it should be a public place. No one should be stopping us," Libero explained. He was aware of the Lor family's arrangements for the venue, which is why he pointed out that no one should be guarding it.

The so-called identity check is simply a matter of looking at the insignia on clothing. The people guarding this place all have a list in their minds, memorizing the insignia of the nobles who are qualified to enter. If the insignia on a visitor's clothing is not on this list, then sorry, please leave.

Of the three, only Ribero was qualified to enter; neither Xilin nor Lunani were.

"It seems this threshold is really high," Xilin said with a smile.

"Then... Brother Xilin, should we leave first?" Lunan asked.

"Yeah, Xilin, we don't care!" Li Bello pulled Xilin away.

Stopping Li Bello, Xilin turned on his communicator, preparing to have Yuan Xingming come out to pick them up. Suddenly, as if sensing something, he looked in one direction.

"Who did you see?" Li Bello followed Xilin's gaze but didn't see anyone unusual. However, there were quite a few people in that direction, coming and going, and their dazzling clothes made it dizzying.

The gray cat also turned its head to look, its whiskers twitching, but it didn't say anything.

"It's nothing."

Xilin turned around to contact Yuan Xingming using the communicator when a voice suddenly came from inside.

"Your Highness Xilin!"

Your Majesty...Your Majesty?

Libero and Lunan looked at Xilin with horror. Only the emperor and the three kings could be addressed with the suffix "Your Highness." So what was Xilin?

With the sound, a person rushed out from inside. This was one of the people who protected Yuan Xingming. Only those in the Yuan family who understood Xilin's role in the family would address Xilin in this way.

Because of Haruno's influence, and with the tacit approval of both the current and former King Fukichi, this title began to circulate within the Haruno family. Haruno, for his part, was quite happy about it. He didn't object, and each time he would cheerfully watch the conflicted expression on Shirin's face when she heard the title.

"Your Highness Xilin, the Third Prince is already waiting inside."

Without needing to say anything more, the guards at the door quickly apologized and stepped aside to let Xilin and the other two in.

"Let's go." Xilin patted Lunani and Libero, who were still standing there in a daze, and said.

"oh."

The two of them followed Xilin somewhat stiffly. They were also wondering to themselves, how did they become "Your Highness Xilin"?

After walking down the corridor and turning a corner, Xilin saw Ulagano, who had come out to relieve herself because she had drunk too much. Xilin called out, "Gaga!"

Libero's face twitched. He knew Ulagano too; he had met her during the test. However, after learning more about Ulagano, Libero knew that if someone didn't know her very well, calling her Ulagano like that would likely get them silenced on the spot.

Ulagano looked up and saw Xilin, jumped up and punched the wall: "Hey! Xilin, you're finally here! I was just talking about you!"

Look, those people outside are still pretending to be gentlemen, but the real prince in front of us has already started to habitually swear.

Now that we've encountered Ulagano, the person leading the way doesn't need to continue.

"Why are you talking about me?" Xilin walked over and asked.

"What else could it be? Naimi is really bragging about it, showing off that award-winning model car, and it's got a bunch of racing enthusiasts all excited!"

The stunt racing competition that Xilin and Naimi participated in earned Yuan Xingming, Wulagano, and Pile a considerable amount of money. This was truly their own pocket money, free from the constraints of their families.

Li Bello's face twitched again. When did Xilin participate in the stunt racing competition?

At that time, Libero was busy with his mission and, because he didn't have the funds, he didn't pay much attention to information about the racing competition, so he didn't know that Xilin had participated in that influential competition.

Moreover, the most memorable figures from that competition were "Caibing" Flying Car, who made a comeback and stirred up a new wave of "nostalgia," and Naimi, the young master of the Szell family. As for Xilin, he had little time to show up, and at Xilin's request, the Szell family group also blurred his image, so not many people remember Xilin.

"Who is this?" Ulagano looked at Lunani with interest. He vaguely remembered Libero, but he really didn't recognize this little girl.

"This is a friend of my younger brother, Kiva Lunani," Sirin explained.

Lunan gave a stiff bow, a bow different from the previous ones. This was a special etiquette reserved for meeting members of the royal family. As for members of the royal family, they had their own separate, exclusive etiquette.

After Lunani finished bowing, Ulagano waved her hand and said, "Since you're a friend of Xilin, you don't need to be so reserved here. Relax a bit."

Lunan nodded hastily, not caring what Ulagano meant by "relax a little."

"Hehe, your laugh is so lewd!" the gray cat said.

Ulagano wasn't angry at all. She chuckled and greeted the gray cat, "Hey ho ho, I've prepared lots of delicious food today..."

With just this one sentence, Ulagano's image in the gray cat's mind went from "sleazy" to "approachable".

Ulagano explained that the guards stationed at the entrance were authorized by all three of them. Because their identities were public, too many people came to visit, causing them considerable annoyance. Later, someone suggested having someone guard the entrance to block access. Thus, the current situation arose.

As Xilin entered the room Ulagano had mentioned, a silvery-white shadow flew towards him. Xilin didn't dodge; the gray cat leaped up and bit!

When it landed, the gray cat had already firmly held the pancake-shaped model in its mouth.

"Hey, no! Cat Master, have mercy!" Naimi jumped over and started saying nice things to the gray cat.

The people inside, who had been yelling and shouting, were about to unleash their fury when they saw the gray cat bite the model. But then Naimi chickened out, immediately swallowing back their words. Seriously, Naimi was called "Cat Lord," after all; they wouldn't dare insult him. That would be suicide!

"Xilin! Come here right now!" Yuan Xingming pushed aside the two beauties next to him and placed three bottles of wine on the table. "You're so late, you'll have to punish yourself with three bottles!"

Xilin didn't say much. He picked up the bottle and started chugging without stopping, and three bottles of wine were gone in no time.

"good!"

Clearly drunk, Yuan Xingming started slamming his fist on the table and continued yelling. His so-called princely demeanor was completely gone, leaving Lunani staring wide-eyed in disbelief.

Xilin shook his head. No wonder this guy gets punished every time he goes back. Nothing he does outside can escape his father's eyes. After attending the wedding this time, he'll be punished again. He might even be sent to the army for another re-education.

When Peter saw Lunani, he felt she looked familiar. After Xilin explained, Peter clapped his hands and exclaimed, "No wonder she looked so familiar! Turns out she's Chang Xiaosi's wife!"

Lunani: "..."

The image of the three princes in Lunan's mind has been completely overturned, so completely that it's utterly drastic.

Seeing Lunani's face turn as red as if she were about to bleed, Xilin patted Pierre, telling him to stop.

Naimi finally managed to get the vegetable pancake toy car with four cat teeth marks back from the gray cat's mouth with a plate of food. Tears streaming down her face, she cried to Xilin, "I'm telling you, Xilin, you have to take responsibility! You have to buy me a perfectly good one!"

"You deserve it."

Xilin understood Naimi's intentions perfectly well; Naimi wanted Xilin to build another car. But he didn't have the time to build a car right now.

Knowing that the person who just came in was the driver Naimi had mentioned who drove the flying car as if traveling through time, some knowledgeable enthusiasts came over to discuss it. They had also watched that flying car competition, but their understanding was certainly not as deep as Naimi's. Some even hoped that Xilin could drive it again so that they could experience the feeling Naimi described.

Since that racing competition, with Naimi leading the way, other aristocratic scions who loved racing also prepared to switch to the "Cake Pancake" design. However, the "Cake Pancake" racing car has not yet officially entered production, as there are many technical problems to be solved, so there are currently fewer than ten new "Cake Pancake" racing cars produced. These cars are limited in number and all were made by Flake. Now, there is a long queue of people waiting to order "Cake Pancake" racing cars from the Szel family.

As they were talking, the door opened and a few more people walked in. Just by hearing their voices, Xilin knew that two of them were the culprits who had caused them trouble with the flying car along the way.

However, after greeting everyone, the two who came in walked towards Xilin and bowed to apologize.

Those around them were wondering what was going on, but the two of them were frank and explained what had happened.

They sent someone to check the serial number of the rental car, but when they found Xilin, the head of the Lor family issued a warning. Later, they were also scolded by their family members, and only then did they realize that they had encountered someone they shouldn't have messed with.

Apologize proactively, otherwise you'll be in big trouble when the other party takes the initiative. And so, this scene unfolded.

"Hey, you guys have a big order, going to race with Xilin? You're asking for trouble, aren't you?" Naimi sneered.

"Well, I didn't know."

"Don't give me that crap, everyone knows what kind of people you are!"

Judging from Naimi's appearance, she seemed to know those people. However, since they were here, Xilin gave Naimi face and didn't say much.

Midway through, Xilin made an excuse to go out and drain the water. He walked through the corridor to a secluded place, looked at the hidden surveillance cameras around him, pressed the button-shaped button on his hand, and then slipped into a room.

This was a storage area for goods, containing sofas, tools, and other items. After entering, Xilin looked around and said, "Come out."

As Xilin finished speaking, a figure gradually appeared.

This is a robot, a robot specifically designed for the Black Viper. After Xilin took over Guan Feng's position, the robot's programming was changed. They will not attack Xilin and are aware of Xilin's location within the Black Viper organization.

"What happened? What exactly is your mission here?"
