Chapter 724 (2/2)

Sid, upon being mentioned, sighed and put down his book. “Don’t namedrop me, I’m far from talented! If you really want to name names, our team leader Uncle Clito is the true talent. Compared to him, I’m just like an ant along the roadside.”

“Uncle Clito? Isn’t he quite young, about our age?” Hope asked in surprise.

“Young? His daughter just got engaged a while back and is preparing to get married next year, and you call him young? He just looks young.” Sid laughed.

Hopes was shocked as he did not imagine Clito to be more than 25, let alone have an engaged daughter.

“Did he marry and have children early?” Ruby asked.

“Yes, he did marry rather early, but his daughter is rather mature already and could even be said to be late to marry. Sister Yue is 26 going on 27 this year; she’s not that young. I remember there was a period of time where Uncle Clito was scared that she would never get married.” Sid appeared to be rather familiar with Clito, and he explained slowly.

“Afterwards?” Ruby pressed on curiously.

“Afterwards? Afterwards, he made sure to set his daughter up for several blind dates, and Sister Yue had been extremely dissatisfied and even threatened to walk out… Aunty Nice had to convince her to stay. Later on, she somehow managed to get a boyfriend, and out of the blue, they announced that they were getting married. Uncle Clito had been furious at that time as he felt that Sister Yue had been conned somehow, and he had nearly ran out to give her boyfriend a beating…”

Hopes thought about it and felt like he could empathize with Clito. As a father, it was natural to worry for his daughter, be it the case of being without a boyfriend or with a dubious man. When Hopes’ big sister had gotten married, his father had had the same doubts.

“Honestly, Uncle Clito is just too paranoid sometimes! Aunty Nice is already 60, and she still hasn’t found her other half, but she isn’t worried about it at all.”

Hope blinked at Sid, feeling as if he had misheard him.

He turned to look at Ruby, who wore a similar look of disbelief.

For someone to be almost 60 and not be wed, that meant it was probably impossible! She was already considered an old woman!

Sid was an observant man, and he immediately guessed what they were thinking and laughed. “Don’t misunderstand, Aunty Nice is a dominant spirit like me and has a long life. She is also an advanced mage. In a few years, she will enter the Legendary Realm. Being 60 means nothing to her.”

Ruby and Hopes immediately understood their misunderstanding and laughed.

After the joke had passed, Hopes questioned Sid curiously, “From the way you speak, it sounds like you’re rather familiar with Leader Clito and the rest?”

“Yes, I grew up with Sister Yue. Our parents were both workaholics and usually left us to our own devices…” Sid replied.

“What background are you from?”

“Me? I’m just an ordinary half-elf. My parents were Principal Felix’s first batch of students, and they built Pyroxene Town with her. Afterwards, they settled down in the town, got married and gave birth to me. At that time, Uncle Clito and Aunty Nice was already living here, and Sister Yue was already born as well. As for me… I guess I can be considered as part of the first batch of Pyroxene Town’s kindergarten.”

At this point, Sid burst out laughing and said, “According to some bards, I’m considered a pure native of the Republic.”
